A young married man of Boston

He admits that he has previously
sought the counsel of various
friends and acquaintances through
a hypothetical question in which he

The -Four of Hearts
4 Serial of Youth and Romance
BY Virginia Van De Water
CHAPTER LII.

ChaHlLIt LII
Edward Van Saun's pale face
lighted with pleasure as the nurse
k.shered Cynthia Long into his room
hhen went out, closing the door soft
ly, leaving the pair alone.
The convalescent was propped up
in bed, his gray hair and moustache
shining like silver against the
white pillows. Cynthia thought she
had never seen him as handsome
before. Again he reminded her of
her own father.
Dear Mr.. Van Saun!" she ex-
claimed, kissing the hand he held
out to her. 1T is good to see you
again"
1T is very gracious of you to
come to me- he rejoined. II hope
my sudden illness did not interfere
with any of your plans. | am more
than glad for the sake of you
young people that 1 shall soon be
up and about again. 1t would have
been distressing if l had been ill
near the date of the wedding. Let
me see-the great event is less than
month off now-isn't it?"
Edward Van Saun glanced down
at the solitaire diamond flashing on
her finger. II hope you are very
happy, dear" he said simply.
Thank you!" she murmured.
She could not tell this man that
she was dissatisfied. Gerald is very
kind and good to me- she added.
She knew she must say something
of this kind. Certainly that was
true and safe. But her companion
was already thinking his own
thoughts. His face wore a panied
look, and he eyed her anXiously.
Dear" he said, II have wanted to
ask you about a matter that is very
close to my heart. There is a ques-
ton which you will forgive me for
asking-because / love my boy bet
ter than my life. Does Dora love
Milton"
What could she say? "I-I-why,
Mr.. Van Saun," she began. how

] have had much time to think and
many opportunities of watching my
boy. He is not happy. Do not
fancy for a moment that I imagine
he does not love Dora. He asked
her to marry him. There was no
reason for this unless he cared for
her. But I can see that something
is weighing on his mind. l have
wondered If he suspects that she

does not care for him and that he
should release her from her en-
gagement."
He paused, but as Cynthia said
nothing he went on. Il have urged
him to spend his evenings with
Dora, as he used to do-but he has
said that she is busy with her we'd
ding preparations. l know that
those would not fill all her even
ings. He tells me that he sees he
almost every day on his way home.
But if the girl loved him that would
not satisfy her.
"Then-forgive me if l seem ego
tistical-but I think If she locke
forward with joy to marrying my
son she would be desirous to see
his father once in a while. She has
not been in to see me for moment
since my illness. Understand, l
have not felt hurt on my own ac-
count. Why should L? But Milton
must have noticed it.
These are only straws that
show which way the wind blows. l

boy were happy. But, my dear, he

Cynthia's heart was full of sym
pathy. Dora had as good as con-
fessed to her that she did not love
Milton. yet Cynthia dare not say
this. If she were not Dora's cousin
and confidante. and did not know
Milton, she might feel justified in
expressing an opinion. AS she
thought of Milton's unhappiness
she felt a great wave of pity-a
pity that startled her by its inten-
sity.
II am sorry, dear Mr.. Van Saun,"
she faltered. II wish 1 could help
in some way. But there seems to be
nothing that I can do"
IT see, 1 see," he acknowledged.
You cannot speak frankly about
your cousin without betraying any
confidence that she may have re-
posed in. you. Yeti occurred to
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-05-10

me that perhaps you might try to
ascertain from Milton why he is so
worried. For, if Dora does not love
him, he must not marry her."
A Stern Dictum
The words were uttered sternly,
II consider a loveless marriage a
sin," the speaker continued. Not
all the pretty names that people
give it can alter that truth. My
} son shall not be guilty of making a
pure young girl sin. And that is
what she would do if she married
him without loving him-just be-
cause he loves her or because the
marriage seems the conventional
and convenient thing.
II used to hope for and anticipate
this marriage. Now 1 see that
may have been party to a great
wrong to my old neighbor's little
daughter"
He sighed as if weary. Forgive
me, dear" he said, for burdening
you with all my anXieties. But you
are young-and life and it's falla-
cies and sophistries have not blind
ed your eye to the right. Moreover,
as l have already said, / trust you,
You have been brought up to know
what real love is and what it means
to sin against it, and, in so doing,
scar ones soul. My sons betrothed
shall not commit that sin if 1 can
help it-no, not. even if my boys
earthly happiness depends upon it,"
81 understand" the girl said in
low voice. And now 1 must go
and let you rest"
II have ordered tea served for
you down in the drawing-room, "
her host informed her. Milton
came home early this afternoon. I
told him you had telephoned that
you would call, and that although
/ wanted you to myself for a little
while, he might see you later. You
will find him and the tea waiting
for you downstairs"

Advice to the LoveIorn

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
My husband is real good, but it

business, an automobile and can give
me a nice home.

after me every day to tell him. Has
a woman right to leave her husband
if she can better herself?
AN ANXIOUS WIFE.
There ought not to be this "other
man." Love is not entering into your

to throw over the woman you love

New idea in Sea IransportatlOn.

The detachable power plant method
of speeding up ocean transportation,
as proposed by H. de NJ. Smell. has
been interesting British engineers. tn,
plan Is to III set Of Diesel engines
driving electric generators into spe-
cial steel caiSson, which would have
also quarters for the engineers and
10 mount this caiSSoh dclachahly on
the stern of any one Of several hulls.
by special pontoonS, the transfer would
be made very quickly from vessel
arriving in port to one ready to depart.
Each hull would have It's own electric
motors running the propellers, but cur
rent would be supplied through wires
from the generating calSson. Not least
OF the advantages, it IS claimed, would
be subdivision of the hull ensuring
greater security against submarines.
