Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

Simpe as this little dress is
it can be made in two quite
different ways. You can cut
the lower portion straight at
the upper edge and stitch it to
form pockets, or you can cut
it on the line of the stitching
to get a shaped edge. The
latter treatment will be pretty
if you use two materials, and
a great many mothers will like
to do this because it is often
possible to make over last sea-
sons frock in such way. Crepe
de chine and taffeta or satin
makes a pretty combination, a
plain serge is pretty with a
plaid, blue is smart combined
with sand color or with buff.
For the I2-year size will be
needed, S yards of material
27 inches wide, 3$4 yards SO,
312 yards A.
The pattern No. 9588 is cut
in sizes from 8 to ID years. 1t
will be mailed to any address
by the Fashion Department of
this paper, on receipt of fifteen
cents.

by JANE MCJE<AAN.
In his head had always been deep
ly implanted the belief in honesty.
When he was small lad he had
vaguely remembered a conversation
that he had had with a boy older
than himself. 1t was apropos of
faults. DO you know what your
worst fault is, KIDD" the other fellow
had drawled.
Billy had shaken his head.
It's that you're too easygoing.
You're going to let people impose on
you; you aren't enough of bluff to
succeed"
And in later days Billy Edwards
had remembered the words with bit
terness. they had been so unwit-
tingly true.
He hadn't succeeded. Even now
he was out of a job and things were
serious. Margaret and the baby were
not used to doing without necessities.
although Margaret tried her best to
be a sport and to reassure Billy as
night after night he returned hope
less. His attitude was against him
in each interview that he had. He
might have been able to deliver the
more push, but he was anxious to
placate. he was almost meek, he tried
too hard to be nice, and invariably
the men who interviewed him lost
all interest. They decided that a
man with so little personality would
lack the necessary business energy,
and he always lost out.
That morning he had started out
with p desperate resolve in his soul.
He would answer the one advertise
ment, and he would treat the entire
affair as though it didn't matter a
great deal whether he got the posi-
tion or not. If the effort failed, then
it didn't matter much how he got it,
but he, must get money. He brushed
up his shabby clothes, and with no
belief in his heart. had set out to
interview the last man he would ever
interview, he had settled that matter
in his own mind. But for Margaret's
sake he would undertake the matter
differently, he would try to show
real worth, he would adopt the great
American game of bluff, not that it
would be bluff in his case, for he
was clever enough in his line, but
he would bluff just the same if bluff
were needed to land the position.
II came about the position" he
said. looking the boy directly in the
eve. And the office boy, as shrewd
as others of his kind, passed over
the shabby clothes because the fell
low acted as though he knew what
he was about; evidently he couldn't
be scared.
Billy, greatly amused, smiled in
wardly to see how we'll his little
game was working. He walked with
a quick step into the office and took
the chair the boy pointed out. He
waited without speaking while the

here Miss O'Neill, until we find out
if it can be done"
Sheba looked across the cliff and
down to the boulder bed two hun
dred feet below. You can never
do it in the world. Isn't there an
other way up?"
mo. The wall above us slopes
out I've got to cross to the stair
way. If l make it I'm going to get
a rope.
DO you mean you're going back
to town for one?"
YES"
Her eyes fastened to his in a
long, unspoken question. She read
the answer He was afraid to have
her try the trough again. To get
back to town by wap OF their round
about ascent would waste time. If
he was going to rescue her before
night he must take the shortest cut,
and that was across the face of the
sheer cliff. For the first time she
understood how serious was their
plight.
The glance of the girl swept again
the face of the wall he must cross.
1t could not be done without a rope.
Her fear-filled eyes came back to
his. TITS my fault. 1 made you
come" she said in a low voice.
Nonsense" he answered cheer
fully. There's no harm done. If |
can't reach the stairway 1 can come
back and go down by the trough"
Sheba assented doubtfully.
1t had come on to driZzle again.
The rain was fine and cold. almost
a mist, and already it was forming
a film of ice on the rocks.
II can't take time to go back by
the trough. The point is that [ don't
want you camped up here after
night. There has been no sun on
this side of the spur and in the chill
of the evening it must get cold even
in summer"
He was making his preparations
as he talked. His coat he took off
and threw down. His shoes he tied
by the laces to his belt.
IN try not to be very long" he
promised.
It's Gods will then, so it is"
she sighed, relapsing into the ver-
nacular.
Her voice was low and not very
steady, for the heart of the girl was
heavy. She knew she must not pro-
test his decision. That was not the
way to play the game. But some
how the salt had gone from their
lighthearted adventure.
Elliot took her little hand in
warm, strong grip. You're not 60
ing to be afraid. Well work out
all right, you know"
YES"
IT'S not just the thing to leave n
lady in the rain when you take her
for a walk, but it can't be helped.
Well laugh about it tomorrow"
Would they? she wondered ans
wering his smile family. Her cour-
age was sapped.
He turned to the climb.
you've forgotten your coat" she
reminded.
I'm travelling light this trip
You'd better slip it on before you
get chilled"
Sheba knew he had left it on pur-
pose for her.

The
Yukon Trail
(Continued.)
BY William Macleod Raine

A small grassy platform lay above
the upper en- dof the trough, but the
last dozen feet of the approach was
a verv difficult bit. Gordon fought his
way up with his back against one
wall and his knees pressed to the
other. Three feet short of the plat
form the rock walls became abso-
lutely smooth. The climber could
reach within foot of the top.
Are you stopped?" asked Sheba.
Looks that way"
\ small pine projected from the
edge o fthe shelf out over the preci-
pice. 1t might be strong enough to
bear his weight. 1t might not. Cor
d III unbuckled his belt and threw
one end over the trunk of the dwarf
tree. Gingerly he tested it with his
weight, then went up hand over
hand and worked himself over the
edge of the little plateau.
"All right" the girl called up.
"All right. But you can't make
it, I'm coming down again"
I'D like to try it. I'll stop if it's
too hard" she promised
The strength of her slender wrists
surprised him. She struggled up the
verticle crevasse inch by inch. His
heart was full of fear, for a misstep
now would be fatal. He lay down
with his face over the ledge and
lowered to her the buckled loop of
his belt. Twice she stopped eX
hausted, her back and her hands
pressed against the walls of the
trough angle for support.
Better give it up" he advised.
"I'n not then" She smiled stub
bornly as she shook her head.
Presently her fingers touched the
belt
Gordon edged forward an inch or
two farther. Put your hand
through the loop. and catch hold of
the leather above" he told her.
She did so and at the same in
slant her foot slipped. The girl
swung out into space suspended by
one wrist. The muscles of Elliot
hardened into steel as they re-
sponded to the strain. His body be-
gan to slide very slowly down the in
cline.
In moment the acute danger was
past. Sheba had found a hold with
her feet and relieved somewhat the
dead pull upon Elliot.
She had not voiced a cry, but the
face that looked up into his was
very white.
Take your time" he said IN a
quiet, matter-o Oft fact way.
With his help she came close
enough for him to reach her hand.
After that it was only n moment he
fore she knelt on the plateau beside
him.
"Touch and go. wasn't it?" Sheba
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-12-11

tried to smile, but the colorless lips
told the young man she was still
faint from the shock.
He knew he was going to reproach
himself bitterly for having led her
into such a risk, but he could not
just now afford to waste his ener-
gies on regrets. You might have
sprained your wrist" he said lightly
as he rose to examine the cliff still
to be negotiated.
Her dark eyes looked at him with
quick surprise. $50 1 might" she
answered dryly.
But his Indifferent tone had the
effect upon her of plunge into
cold water. 1t braced and stiffened
her will. If he wanted to ignore
the terrible danger through which
she had passed certainly she Was
not going to remind him of it.
Gordon was mountaineer enough
to know that the climb up is safer
than the one back. The only pos
sible way for them to go down the
trough was for him to lower her by
the belt until she found footing
enough to go alone. He did not quite
admit it to himself, but in his heart
he doubted whether she could make
it safely.
The alternative was the cliff face.
Across the Traverse
Elliot took off his shoes and
turned toward the traverse.

that stairway. You had better wait

man at the desk finished writing
something and turned toward him.
For moment his old attitude was
upon him, but he remembered sud-
denly another remark that he had al
ways heard the boys make: Never
be afraid of taking up a business
mans time. Invariably he isn't writ
ing because he has to when you are
shown into his office, but because he
wants to impress you with his enor-
nous business. And so Billy forgot
that he was desperate, and said in
his straightforward manner:
II want the position you adver-
tised."
do you think you can qualify?"
Il know L can"
Billy knew that the man was eye
ing his shabby clothes. but he smiled
instead of flushing painfully.
Three months"
Couldn't land one, eh?"
Billy hesitated. Yes, I think 1
could have" he responded truth
fully.
John Groyce looked amazed.
You see, L didn't go at it right.
I showed too plainly that it meant
a great deal to me, and l never land
ed the job. l was told l needed
bluff"
And you decided to try it?"
Yes; but l can deliver the goods"
John Groyce looked thoughtful.
Then he remarked: Then you really
didn't bluff after all?"
No" Billy admitted, honestly, but
IL was there all the time in case l
needed it," He spoke as though the
position had been landed and his
confidence was either entirely naive
or the most clever bluffng in the
world. John Groyce looked at him
keenly, wondering if the boy realized
it himself. wen try you," he said.
after minute, but as Billy was
leaving the office, a glow of eXulta-
tion in his heart, John Groyce called
after him, admonishingly, It's
good American game, but look out
for snags."
Billy laughed the first real laugh

LIVING ON YOUR NERVE

Everybody has a store of nervous en-
ergy. When work or worry without
sufficient rest exhausts this store con.
dition results that medical men call
neurasthenia.
1t is commonly met with in those
who have had keen anxieties, as those
who have cared for sick relatives, bus
mess men who worry over their affairs
and neglect to take vacations. Women
who are too active socially, anyone who
has too much excitement and too little
rest may show the symptoms.
The complexion becomes pale. Won
imagine unpleasant things, your brain
insists on working when you want to
go to sleep. Sometimes you are mel
ancholy. Things that used to please
you no longer do so. Constipation is
usually present. You worry about
yourself and your work and cannot for
ret your anxieties.
No doctor can cure neurasthenia.
You have to do it yourself. The first
thing is to write to the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for
the booklet on the home treatment of
nervous disorders. Ii you want to
start the treatment before the book
comes get ffty-cent box of DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills from the nearest drug
store and follow the directions carefully.
