THEIR MARRIED LIFE"

TO ourselves for a chance?" she ex-
claimed, joyously.
Jack, in the midst of deciding be-
tween cauliflower and asparagus
did not answer just at once, and
Betty's heart gave a sudden leap
She kept back the sharp words that
she wanted to say, however, and
Jack was eagerly looking across the
table at her and acquiescing in as
enthusiastic a manner as even Betty
could have desired.
Il should say So" he responded
We never do have enough evenings
alone together-always some other
people rung in."
That's right, dear" Betty as
sented. But this is our night, and
Wen spend it at home"
Would you rather do that than
go somewhere"
oh, yes, / would! Why Jack, |
thought you would be sure to want
to stay at home"
Il want to do Just whatever you
want to do" said Jack guardedlr
Now, Jack was not to be blamed for
being wary. Many a young hus-
band has been wary before him, fol
many young wife is no more rea-
sonable than Betty and just as sure

safed a remark, Betty responded il
hurt little way that he had come
to dread. He looked amazed, as wei
ne might.
Great Scott" he calculated
what's wrong now?"
Betty looked up, a panied little
expression in her eyes.
Nothing, Jack-nothing at all, >
she said in a small, weak voice.
But there is something wrong
Now, see here, girl, we mustn't star

/ What's wrong now?"
"Why, you're bored at the though
of an evening alone with me-" Betty
said in a martyred tone. The trutf
of this statement was so warped

before it was swallowed by the fac
that he had sought only to please
her in the matter, and then III

compellingly:

Betty obeyed.
where's your sense of humor?'
he asked quickly. do you know
that your being absurdly sensitive
and taking up thing wholly WRONG
is about to start something If you're
not careful?"
Betty met his eyes and for the
moment saw clearly herself, and she
was ashamed Certainly it had beer
her fault this time, and she hat
failed to understand. Did all theii
quarrels spring from such an ab
surd beginning? And if so, how
petty it all was in the face of hei
love for Jack and his love for her
which, in the last analysis, were al
that really ntattered!

CHRISTMAS OPPORTUNITIES
FOR TELEGRAPH READERS

THE Christmas spirit may be
shown in no better way than by
gifts, large or small to those
less fortunate than ourselves. and
with whom we may not even be
acquainted. The following cases are
those of unfortunate and needy citi-
zens right here in Harrisburg, and
who are personally known TO the
workers of the Associated Aid Socie-
ties. The Aid Societies vouch for
the families and their needs in every
instance. If citizens of Harrisburg
wish to do something for these peo-
pie which will provide a Christmas
which will last the year around, they
can not do better than to send con-
tribution to the funds being used
directly for these families. The way
to do it is very simple-simply sign
your check, or enclose cash with
your name, and mail to Vance G.
Mccormick, treasurer, box 4O5, Har-
risburg, Pa, and enclose clipping
indicating which of the families you
wish your contribution to be made
for. The Aid Societies guarantee
that every cent of it will be used for
the families in the ways indicated.
They will further, If your name and
address is given, be glad to send you
a report about the family, telling
you Just how the money was eX-
pended and how the family is get
ting on.
The cases follow:
1. Incurable
The father has an incurable di-
sease. The wife, although not
strong is bravely trying to keep a
little brood of three together by what
she can earn at days work. None of
the children old enough to work, and
they are bright promising children,
always neatly dressed. IS a week
will be needed for some time to
come, in order to keep the family to-
gether.
.. Grandmother and Children
An aged grandmother and three
children, make UP this family. The
parentssare dead. The grandmother
does days work although not physi-
cally able, and the children do many

Yukon Trail
(Continued)

"Mebbe you had better get the
camp things behind them big rocks"
Macy conceded.
Even as he spoke there came the
crssll of a revolver almost at the
entrance of the draw.
One of the men swore softly. The
gimlet eyes of the old miner fastened
on the spot where in another
moment his hoped-for rescuors
would appear.
A man staggered drunkeniy Into
view. He reeled halfway across the
mouth of the draw and stopped. His
eyes, questing DULY, fell upon the
caop. He stared, as if doIbtful
whether they had played him false,
then lurched toward the waiting
group.
Lost and all in," Holway said in
a whisper to Dud.
The other man nodded, Neither
Of them made a move toward the
stranger, who stopped in front of
their camp and looked with glazed
eyes from one to another. His face
was Drawn and haggard and lined.
Extreme exhaustion showed in every
movement. He babbled incoher-
entity.
Don't you see he's starving and
out OF his head?" snapped Holt
brusquely. "Get him grub. pronto."
The old man rose and moved to-
ward the suffering man. Come,
pard. Tha's all right. Sit down
right here and go to it, as the old
sayin' is" He led the man to n
place beside Big Bill and made him
sit down. Better light a fire, and
get rome coffee on. Don't give him
too much solid grub at first"
The famishede man ate what was
given him and clamored for more.
"Comirg 6 up soon, pardner,' Holt
told him soothingly. Now tell us
how come you got lost"
The man nodded gravely. Hit
that line low, Cord. Hit or low.
Only three yards to gain"
Plumb bughouse," commented
Dud, chewing tobacco stolidly.
"Out of his head-thats all. He'll
be right enough after he's fed UP
and had a good sleep. But right
now he's sure some Exhibit \. Look
at the bones sticking through his
cheeks" Big Bill commented.
Come, Old-Timer. Get down in
your collar to it. One more now.
Don't lie down on the job. All to-
gether now" The stranger clucked
to an imaginary horse and made
motion of lifting with his hands.
Looks like his hawss is begged

Dear, you know I love you"
"Of course Idol know it as we'll
as I know anything in life"
II thought you doubted me when
you said what you did tonight"
mo, 1 don't doubt that you love
me, only that sometimes you fail to
understand"
The girl met the mans eyes, fully.
Had she failed to understand, was
that why her life with Jack had been
so filled with little petty quibblings,
sordid little quarrels that made her
bitterly unhappy, and Jack quiet
and hard?
"Oh, Jack" she began, almost
tearfully.
Don't misunderstood my mean
ing" he interrupted, before she
could go on.
What was it you were going to
say, them"
"Only that we let little things
make so much difference. You seem
to lose control of your temper, and
say things you don't mean"
And you refuse to be frank with
me, and close up your heart so that
/ feel that 1 can't get near you,''
the girl finished.
We'll, I'll promise not to do that
if you will think twice before YOU
consider yourself inconsiderately
treated"
'All right, Jack, and weIl never
never have another misunderstand-
ing" The words were breathed
against his shoulder as he held her
close and consecrated by their new
feeling of mutual understanding,
both felt as though sordid quarrel
ing had been put into the discard
forever.
But, oh, how quickly are such
things as making UP forgotten. Not
two days later, with as little excuse
as any of their squabblings, another
cloud blew into the sky. And the
cause was so trivial so foolish, that
1T was not worth considering, only
Betty was so easily sensitive and
Jack so cognizant of the fact.
Seated at dinner in the tiny res
taurant, where the prices were rea
sonable and the cooking excellent,
Betty unconsciously started the bali
rolling.
Isn't it great to have an evening

Fashions of To-Day BY May Manton

Here is one of the prettiest
little school dresses the season
has to offer. 1t is made with a
plated skirt and is joined to a
belt with a sleeveless blouse and
over it a jacket that is becoming
and childlike and altogether at
tractive. The pattern is an avail
able one, however, and if you do
not care for the jacket effect, you
can make the blouse and skirt of
light weight serge or of any suit
able material and gather the
skirt, joining one to the other as
suggested in one of the back
views. Really, those two treat
ments mean two different dresses.
The simple blouse dress with the
gathered skirt can be used for
The washable materials that so
many mothers prefer to any
thing else as we'll as for wool and,
indeed, the dress with the jacket
can be made of linen or of cotton
poplin or of pique with perfect
propriety, although serge is a
standby.
For the I2-year size will be
needed, 4 yards of material SO
inches wide, 3 yards "A for the
skirt and jacket, IsS yards SO
for the blouse.
The pattern No. 1894 is cut in
sizes from 10 to ID years. 1t will
be mailed to any address by the
Fashion Department of this paper
on receipt of fifteen cents

CHAPTER TX
The Rah-Rah Boy Functions

The Rah-8ah Boy Functions
Big Bill grumbled a good 'leal at
the addition to the party. 1t would
be decidedly awkward if this
stranger should become rational and
understand the status of the camp
he had Joined. The word of Hclt
alone might be negligible, but sup
ported by that of q disinterested
party it would be a very different
matter. Still, there was no help for
it. They would have to take care
of the man until he was able to
travel. At the worst Big Bill could
give him a letter to Selfridge eX-
planning things and so pass the buck
to that gentleman.
GiG Holt had, with the tacit con-
sent of his guards, appointed hrn-
self as a sort of nurse to the stranger.
Early in the evening. the sick man
fell into a sound sleep, from which
he did not awake until morning.
George was away looking after the
packhorses. Dud was cooking break
fast, and Big Bill, his rifle close at
hand. was chopping young frs fifty
feet back of the camp. The cook
also had a gun, loaded with buck
shot, lying on a box beside him, so
that they were taking no chances
with their prisoner:
The old miner turned from rear
ranging the boughs of green fir on
the smudge to see that his patient
was awake and his mind normal.
The quiet. steady eyes resting upon
him told him that the delirium had
passed.

the young man said.
The answer of Gid Holt was an
odd one. Yep. Seven-eleven-ft
teen. Take 'er easy, old man." ne
said in his shrill. high voice as lie
moved toward the man in the blan.
kets. Then, in low tone, while he
pretended to arrange the bedding
over the stranger, he asked Il quick
question.
Are you Elliott"
YES"
Don't tell them. Talk football
lingo as if you was still out OF your
haid." Holt turned and called to
