What do you think about it, Mrs.
Curtis?" said Mr.. Davenport, turn
ing politely to Helen. Helen had been
listening intently to the conversation
between Warren and Mr.. Davenport,
and she was about to reply to the
question with an opinion of her own,
when. Warren interrupted scathingly.
"She doesn't know anything
about it,"
"Oh, but 1 do, dear" Helen cor
rected calmly. II don't know much,
but 1 know a little bit" And she
proceeded to answer the question in
telligently and to ask Mr.. Daven-
port one in return
Up to that evening Helen had be-
grudged Warren the time and en-
tertainment vouchsafed to this man.
Mrs. Davenport, Helen thoroughly
detested. She was one of the women
who leave the city at the first indi-
cation of warm weather and remain
away until Fall, and Warren, who
did considerable business with Dav-
export, occasionally brought him
home to dinner. Helen usually sat
quiet and uninterested through the
meal and escaped Immediately after
ward, but tonight the two men had
begun discussing a subject that Helen
was interested in, and for the first
time since she had known him, Mr..
Davenport had deferred to her for
an opinion.
'I had no idea you had read up
anything on the subject. Mrs. Cur
tis," he said, as they finally rose
from the table. Most women are
not interested in it at ALL"
II chanced to read an article in a
magazine about it," Helen confessed
truthfully, "or L don't think it would
have attracted my attention"
"Yes, it's best not to get our
radical" Warren offered patroniz-
ingly. Better stick to the fiction
what do you say, Davenport"
Helen Redeemed at Warrens tone.
She felt as though he were trying
to make her appear foolish before
Mr.. Davenport.
"I don't know" Davenport re-
turned. II think it refreshing to
hear woman express herself in
telligently."
Occasionally we do have a ray of
intelligence" Helen returned inpa-
tiently.
"I should say more than that" Mr.
Davenport returned, and continued
talking to Helen interestedly as they
went into the living, room. Usually
Helen excused herself and either
amused herself with book until
Warren came to bed, or went to the
movies with Louise or some one else
at little open-air place quite near.
Tonight she went with the men into
the front room and proceeded to
monopolize the conversation.
She did this with the intention of
paying Warren back for making her
feel so small, but she found it not at
all difficult to interest her guest, and
the stimulus of finding herself oc-
cupying the center of the stage and
actually giving an opinion on sub
jects that Warren never thought of
discussing with her, frightened her
eyes and gave to her speech a quaint
flavor of charm.
The conversation was kept gen.
eral, and there was no chance for
business. When Mr.. Davenport final
ly rose to go, Helen was quite sure
that Warren was furiously angry

my beloved Gouverneur Faulkner as
he drew his beautiful body to all the
height that was possible to him and
looked into the eyes of my beloved

are stars of the dawn, so that all of
his heart and soul and honor shone
therefrom in a radiance, "the Mar

For no more than a long minute
my uncle, the General Robert, gazed
straight into the eyes of my beloved
Gouverneur Faulkner, and then a
very beautiful smile did break from
under those white swords crossed
above his lips as he spoke with a
great urgency.

Camp Hill Paving Matter
to Be Sent to Council

Camp Hill, Pa, Aug. 29.-Results
of the monthly meeting of council
Thursday evening, September 13, is
expected to throw some light on the
Market street paving proposition.
According to a councilman to-day
the State Highway Department noti-
fed the borough fathers several
weeks ago that an agreement would
be sent to be acted on at the next
meeting of council. If the agree
ment is sent the councilmen believe
that the long-awaited assistance
from the State Department is assur-
ed. A councilman said to-day that
the break in the department caused
by the resignation of the head may
cause some delay in the procedure.

Girls did you know that Elsie had
broken her engagement"
There was a howl of derision from
the crowd. Nonsense. You must be
crazy. Where on earth did you ever
hear that?"
Its true. You may be sure I
wouldn't be telling it if it weren't"
How do you know?'
Her mother told my mother this
morning"
The girls all fell to gossiping.
What could have happened? Ted
and Elsie had been so we'll suited.
Why, they had been friends from
childhood, and when they had finally
become engaged every one had
thought it the most natural thing in
the world. How strange it would
seem not to see them together, and
to think of Ted Crotts unhampered
stirred more than one girls heart.
Perhaps they've had a quarrel
and it will be patched up in a day or
so," suggested one of the girls.
The first speaker shook her head,
"I. don't think so,' she said, thought
fully. 1T isn't like Elsie to break
an engagement for no reason or 9TH
er than a quarrel"
What did her mother seem TO
think about it?''
81 don't know. 1 couldn't learn
anything definite. I'm telling you
girls all I know about the matter"
The truth about the entire thing
had happened the evening before on
the veranda of the Howells resi-
dence.
AS usual, Ted had come over to
see Elsie and they had settled them
selves on the veranda for talk.
Elsie was not happy. She had
noticed that these talks had taken
the place of the other intimacies

Thought For Today
Spread the Meat Flavor

SDICttI tuC NISdJ EAdtOF
Spread the meat flavor and so
economize on the amount of meat
consumed, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. Here
is a suggestion for making a de-
licious dish from an inexpensive
steak.
Mock Duck
On q round steak cut thin,
place a stuffing of bread crumbs
well seasoned with chopped on
ions, butter or other fat, salt, pep
per and flavorings such as sage,
celery seed, ETC., If desired. Roll
the steak around the stuff1ng and
tie in several places with a string.
If the steak is tough steam or
stew the roll until tender before
roasting in the oven.
If desired, the roll may be
cooked in casserole, in which case
a cupful or more of water should
be added.
