Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-07-05
BY Jane Mclean


This story about a girl reporter
was woven in a small Western city.
1t is not always New York that fur
nishes all the romance of the world,
although it certainly does its share,
but in this case, perhaps, the same
incident would not have worked
out in quite the same way.
The girls name was Prudence,
and from the time when she first
made up her mind definitely she
knew that her one ambition was to
be connected with a big daily
newspaper Prudence was not at
all the type of girl that any one
could imagine wrestling with the
world; in fact, she was feminine just
like her name. She had just one
trait that was to help her in her
career; she had a strong will.
Reporting is desperately hard
work, so that any girl who thinks
she is about to have an exciting
time drifting around and getting
stories had best put the idea right
out of her mind. There are long,
hard hours that pay for the excite
ment, there are heart breaking fail
ures, and sharp reproofs waiting in
the office for those who do not
make good. Sometimes there doesn't
seem to be any justice about it, but
for the girl who is determined and
has a strong will, as Prudence had,
there is a certain amount of thrill
in just belonging, and so the days
were pleasant, although the work
was hard and demanded a strong
constitution.
The day that Prudence was sent
up to report on play that had just
opened in town. she thrilled to the
first really responsible job that had
been given her. 1t meant much to
her for more than one reason. Aside
from the fact that she did want to
succeed was the thought that at
last she would be able to show Lu-
cien Perry that she was doing some
thing worth while. Lucien Perry
was all that Prudence thought nee
essary to make up a real man. He
had been largely instrumental in
getting Prudence her job, and he
was manager of the Lyric Opera
House in town. Consequently Pru-
dence wanted more than anything
to report on the play that had Just
opened. OF course it could not help
but be good, and she would do her
very best with her story.
Prudence never quite forgot that
performance. 1t went from bad to
worse. Even with her rather linn
tied experience, Prudence knew that
the play lacked almost everything
it really needed to make it even
passable. When the curtain was
finally rung down she faced her
problem. Either she would have to
give false opinion to the paper or
she would have to tell the truth.
If she told the truth she would be
writing story into the trash basket
and probably lose a great deal of
money to Lucien Perry 1t was the
first time in her experience that she
had been placed in such a position,
and finally, after weighing the mat
ter from every possible viewpoint.
she decided that there was but lust
one thing to do. She must do her

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

The coat MILDLY or the

make it of wool jersey or you
can make it of silk jersey or
you can make it of linen or of
gingham. For the linen or the
gingham blouse, you will like
the skirt to match.
For the I6-year size will be
needed, 81 yards of material
SO inches wide, 215 yards a.
with % yard SO inches wide

the posse outfit showed up, the COL
onel got it into his head that the
whole thing was merely another trick
of Stantcn's-a fake. Ginty, the
quarry boss, brought the news to
town. He says there was a bloody
miX-up, and at the end of it the
colonel and Williams were both un-
der arrest for resisting the officers" F"
Smith nodded thoughtfully. "Of
course; that was just what was need
ed. With the president and the chief
of construction locked up. and the
wheels blocked for the next twenty
four hours. our charter will be gone"
This world and another, and
then the fireworks" Starbuck threw
in. With the property all roped up
in a law tangle, and those stock op-
tions of yours due to fall in, it looks
as if few prominent citizens of
Timanyoni would have to take to
the high grass and the tall timber.
1t sure does, John"
DO you know, Billy, I have been
expecting something of this kind
and expecting it to be a fake. That's
why l sent Stillings to Red Butte; to
keep watch of Judge Lorching 5
court. Stillings was to phone me If
Lorching issued an order"
And he hasn't 'phoned you
No; but that doesn't prove any,
thing. The order may have been is
sued. and Stillings may have tried to
let US know. There are a good many
ways in which a mans mouth may
be stopped-when there are no scru-
pies on the other side"
Then you think there is no doubt
that the court order Is straight, and
that this man McGraw is really q
deputy marshal and has the law for
what he is doing?"
I'm the absence of any proof to
the contrary, we are obliged to be-
lieve it-or at least to accept it. But
were not dead yet. Billy,
it's running in my mind that we've
got to go out there and clean up Mr..
McGraw and his crowd"
Starbuck threw up his hands and
made a noise like dry wagon
wheel
Holy smoke,-go up against the
Smiths grin showed his strong,
even teeth.
"Starbuck, you remember what I
told you one night t?-the night
dragged you up to my rooms in the
hotel and gave you hint of the rea-
son why l had no business to make
love to Corona Baldwin,"
Yep"
We'll, the time has come when
may as we'll fill out the blanks in the
story for YOU" And with Billy look
ing straight into his eyes, he did so.
At the end Starbuck was nodding
soberly You sure have been carry
ing a back-load all these weeks,
John, never knowing what minute
was going to be the next. Now
know about this Miss Rich-pastures.
She knows you and she could give
you away if she wanted to. Has she
done it, john"
NO; but her father has. Stanton
has got hold of the end of the thread
and, while | don't know it definite
ly, it is practically certain he sent a
wire. If the Brewster police are not
looking for me at this moment, they
will be shortly. That brings us back
to this High Line knockout. AS the
matter stands. I'm the one man in
our outfit who has absolutely moth
ing to lose. l am an officer of the
company, and no legal notice has
been served upon me. Can you fill
out the remainder of the order?"
NO, I'll be switched If l cam"
