Dear Mrs. Thompson--I am girl OF
eighteen. Last summer I met an
awfully nice soldier boy. We went
out together and he was very respect
able. Soon after met him he had to
leave for camp and before he left he
asked me to wait for him until he re-
turned. left him at the depot the
next morning. That was in August.
He kept on writing until some time in
October and than l didn't hear from
him until a few days before Thanks
giving and he said that l should pardon
him for not writing as he didn't have
any time at all and he wouldn't have
time then only be was In hospital
with a sprained ankle.
have never heard from him since.
I always found out where he was and
wrote to him. He sailed for France
about six months ago and | wrote to
him until just last month although /
did not hear from him.
Do you think did wrong in writing
to him and do you think he is glad
to receive my letters?
love this boy with all my heart
and thought he loved me by his &C
tions too, because he pleased me when
ever he could. 1t will break my heart
II I lose him forever. My frierds say
that he has some nice little French
girl over there. DO you think that
is true? PEGGY.
The boy Is undoubtedly busy, but
not too busy to send you a note occa-
sionally When you found he did not
write at all you should have stopped
and given him a chance to be anxious
to hear from you. He probably en-
joyed your letters, but he did not ap-
preciate your kindness in writing so
often, or he would have answered.
Do not worry about a French girl.
1t is barely possible that he has one
and you should not make yourself un-
happy without definite cause.
Dear Mrs. Thompson-I have two
boy friends whom like a great deal.

TO THE RESCUE

There was more to do than merely
pay the waitress. leave the tea room
and go comfortably home. 1t was
clear to Sally that she must do some
thing about Marie Hurdis. Marie was
known to her employers as an excel
lent telephone operator who never
lost her head" and possessed the bi-
lingual gift bequeathed by her Amer
ican-French parents. But just now
she was merely the lovesick girl and
not the clear-minded telephone oper-
ator. She was in the mood where
young women do reckless things. The
advantages of her half-French blood
were temporarily obscured by its tenn
peramental disadvantages. All her
Latin hotheadedness was rampant, her
American self-possession in abeyance.
Sally started at once for the ad-
dress Marie had given as her pen

with whom? Why, with a certain
monsieur-Monsieur Perrtne, from the
American news bureau.
She did not know where they had
gone. They had seemed very merry.
Probably they would dine and possibly
60 to a place Of entertainment, though
everything closed down at nine under
the new war rules.
Sally bit her lip, thanked the woman
and walked away slowly, thinking
what to do. She might call at the
American news bureau; it was only a
few streets away. Yes, she would do
that. There was a young man In
charge.
Perrine? Oh, yes. he had gone about
an hour ago. He was on the day shift
and would not be back. Gould he be
located? Well-that was doubtful. OF
course 1t was urgent-the young man
noted Sally's nursely uniform, her evi-
dent anxiety, not to mention her ex-
treme good looks, and he did love to
oblige pretty women-he might send
some one to hunt for him at the places
he frequented. Sally promptly asked
him what places they were-that she
would seek him there herself.
Oh. no. that wouldn't do, the young
man said. embarrassedly. They were

Governor Davis yesterday issued
requisition upon the governor of New
York for the extradition of II. w.
Yoder, now under detention in the
city Jail at Albany for the alleged
embezzlement OF $4,000 from the
Bank of New Castle, Craig county. Va.
! foder had been for more than
twenty-five years cashier of the bank.
he was a leading spirit in his COM
munity and influential in every pub
lie enterprise. He was popular, had
host of friends and comforta BILE
home wherein lived his devoted wife
and children.
In March of last year he disappear
ed and with his disappearance it was
discovered that the town bank over
which he had long been in control had
been rendered insolvent by misuse of
the monies under his trust. It was
discovered that he had been employ
ing the ancient deception of keeping
two sets of books, one for the ex-
aminer and one for the bank direc-
tors, In the meanwhile cleverly cover
ing his work with sundry forgeries
Creditors suffered as did the wife
and children whom Yoder left be-
hind. The home which they believed
to be always their own and every
thing of value to which they had be-
come attached was taken by the credf-
tors.
The sheriff OF Craig county dis
patched photographs Of Yoder

many of these cities have sounded

and from thirteen of them have re-
ported that the drys probably will
win. Four were classed as doubtful.
and from only one city. Oneida, was
the prediction made that the vets will
win.
The cities which are to vote ON
local prohibition are Syracuse. AM
