CHAPTER XIII

Copyright, 1918, Star Company
Stephen Livingstone had spoken
truly when he said that Dora usual
ly had her own way. The present
occasion was no exception to the
rule, for Cynthia raised only feeble
objection to her cousins remarkable
proposal.
Don't you think" she ventured,
that Milton will want you to take
him in your CARP
Il don't care if he does!" Dora
declared defiantly, though still mer-
rily. Coming here with a taxi for
you was his own idea. Let him
carry it out. And since he asked to
| be allowed to be your escort to our
house l have a right to ask Gerald
to be mine"
The whole idea seemed ridiculous
to Cynthia. Here was Dora, with a
big limousine, permitted her be-
trothed to take her cousin home,
while she-Dora-drove home in
her own car with Gerald Stewart.
1t was a self-willed girls idea of a
frolic, and with this thought Gym
thia had to be content. Moreover,
down in the bottom of her heart,
she was aware that she was not
averse to having five minutes alone
with Milton Van Saun.
Edward Van Saun may have had
his own views of the situation, but
he only smiled amusedly.
Young people will be young peo-
ple!' he observed. so l will let you
children arrange matters to suit
yourselves"
A few minutes later Milton Van
Saun and Gerald Stewart appeared.
We'll, I'll be blessed! Here are
two of you!" Milton exclaimed
Dora, when I saw your car out
side I jumped to the conclusion
that it had been sent around for
Cynthia. 1 had no idea you had
come for her yourself"
We'll, l did come for her, but
understand that you forestalled
me-" his fiancee teased. There was
not a trace of jealousy or resent
ment in her tone or manner, a fact
which Edward Van Saun noted
And since you wanted to take her
home in a bumpy taxi" Dora con-
tinued, you may do it. Gerald is
going to drive around with me in
my car,-although he did not know
it until now. Then you can return
together"
Cynthia Objects
Il say!" (NIilton was struck by a
happy inspiration.) "Why don't you
girls stay here to dinner with Dad
and us? 1t would be larks."
Gerald glanced eagerly at Dora
and she replied impetuously.
"Oh, that would be larks! Let's
telephone Mother"
Il would be delighted" Edward
Van Saun began. Burt this was one
of the times when Cynthia asserted
herself.
Thank you, very much" she said.
Inf
"Oh, Cyp!" Dora pouted. Don't
be a spoilsport! 1t would be such
fun to stay. Caspar could take the
car home, and the boys can take
us over after dinner"
81 am sure Aunt Amanda would
not be pleased" Cynthia insisted.
Milton Van Saun's blue eyes were

was confident that the will existed
and she and the lawyer she had en-
gagged left no stone unturned in their
efforts to find it. Finally, after
weeks of fruitless search, she had a
very vivid dream one night. In TINS
dream she was sitting reading to
this old man just as she had been
accustomed to do, when suddenly
he turned to her and said:
1T is a great comfort to me to
think that l have left you well
is made in your favor"
Where is that will?" she asked,
I'VE have looked everywhere for it
and cannot find it,"
1T is in that old desk of mine in
the country house." he answered,
but it has slipped behind the
drawer"
The next morning she went down
to the country place, opened the
desk, pulled out the drawers, and
there, behind one of them, was the
will.
Another story was told of a wom-
an who was dining with some friends
one evening. 1t was noticed that
she had very distracted manner,
and presently, when she stopped in
peared to listen intently, her host
ess said laughingly, What is on
your mind tonight" She replied;
"All evening l have heard the sound
of running water, l fancied that
you must have a bad break in one
of the pipes; but as no one else
seemed to notice it, ! didn't like to
mention it. Don't the rest of you
hear it?"
They all shook their heads and
declared they had heard nothing
out of the ordinary. When she went
home she found her apartment
flooded. Some other member of
the family had gone out and left
the taps on in the bathroom and
the water had been running all
evening.
A woman from the Far West said
that a few days before she was
born her father had been called
East on business. When she was
week or two old he returned unex-
pectedly about 10 o'clock at night.
AS he came in his wife called to
him to look at the new baby. The
nurse lifted it from the bed beside
the mother and held it out to him.
He bent over it, smiled and said,
Call her Ellen" Then he went
into his own room ana Iney saw
him no more that night. In the
morning his wife received word
that he had been killed in a rail-
way accident about the same time
they had seen him the night be-
fore.
A doctor told of an incident
which had occurred in the early
days of his practice. He was liv-
ing in a town in Canada, and one
of his patients was a French
Canadian woman who made week
ly journeys from a village some
miles distant to see him. She was
suffering from an incurable can

fastened on hers imploringly, but
when he saw her expression of de-
termination he protested no further.
We'll, suppose what Cynthia
says goes" Dora remarked with as
good grace as she could muster.
The Livingstones' chauffeur
looked somewhat mystified as he
held the door open for his young
mistress and Gerald Stewart, while
the man to whom his young mis-
tress was engaged went in a plebeian
taxi with her cousin. To Cynthia,
clear-eyed and honest, the situa-
ton was as unusual as it was to
the chauffeur. But her sense of
humor came to her relief and she
laughed as Milton drew the rug
about her.
Isn't Dora the most deliciously
original child in the world?" she
said. 'She is using two cars and
three men to take us five blocks" I"
She's nothing if not original, ="
Milton acquiesced. THAT is one of
her. charms. | find it especially de-
lightful just now, as it allows me
to carry out the program l had
planned and escort you home my

'It was very kind of you, but
quite unnecessary" Cynthia rejoin-
ed.
She must keep the conversation
in safe channels. Dora brought
the car by for me, you know" she
went on. She had been shopping
all the afternoon, getting her trous-
seau. She is very sensible to begin
upon it long enough ahead not to
be tired out when the wedding day
comes. What a lovely bride she
will make!"
An Irrelevant Remark
Inwardly she was slightly fright
ened when she found how difficult
it was to make this speech. Why
should she shrink from talking to
this man of Dora's marriage to him?
But Milton Van Saun made no
answer. In stead he looked at her
searchingly.
Cynthia, wonder if my friend
ship will ever begin to mean to you
what your friendship means to me-"
he said irrelevantly.
You hardly know yet what my
friendship might mean," she par
ried, smilingly. You see, you
scarcely know me-"
II knew you the first moment I
saw you! he informed her, with
sudden indiscretion.
You mean you had heard Dora
speak of me- she corrected.
II do not!" he contradicted. 81

and watched you, and even spoke to

"You spoke to me in Chicago?"
she echoed mystified.
,"Yes-I stepped right in front of
you, and you dropped your letter
and 1 picked it up and handed it to
you. and you thanked me-"
He stopped, startled at his own
temerity. A look of recollection
was creeping over Cynthias face.
"Ohn' she murmured, then you
are the man who
The car gave a sudden lurch,
there was the sound of splintering
wood and Cynthia was thrown vio-
lently against Milton Van Saun's
shoulder. Then for a moment she
knew nothing.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
ALL WRONG


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
At party recently I was intro
duced to young chap who. upon
taking me home, asked if he could
call at my house Sunday and take
me out. l told him thatI would let
him know, as 1 had to ask my mother.
When / asked my mother she said
that 1 was entirely too young (16) to
go out with any boys. AID when
met this young chap again (by ac-
cident) he asked me again whether
he could call. 1 told him that as my
mother thought 1 am too young to go
about with him, l could meet him at
my sisters house, as my sister would
not tell my mother. We have been
meeting each other for more than a
month now, sometimes at my sisters
house, and sometimes when my sister
was not at home we have met out
side. But l am afraid 1 am doing
wrong.
E. w. T.
What you are doin~ is very wrong
Shame on your sister for helping you
to deceive your mother. Don't meet
this boy at your sisters house or out
side. You see he is bound to draw
these conclusions: Ethel likes me
well enough to sneak off and meet me
without her her mothers consent She
it-well then she needn't be surpris-
ed if 1 am not honest with her." His
respect for you is not likely to be
great when he realizes that for him

BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW

BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW
Do you believe in miracles? A lit
lie group of us had been sitting
bout the wood fire watching the
ames, the most beautiful and living
light in the world, unless it may be
he falling waters of a fountain, or
sunset, or roses. Presently the
uestion of miracles came up.
Was there ever a group of peo-
lie gathered about a fire in the twi-
ght that the talk did not turn,
ooner or later, on the mysterious
nd uneXplainable?
One of the number will begin:
Yo umay not believe this, it is so
ar out of all reason, but L can
ouch for it as a fact" And when
be has finished his story another
Vill cap it with a still more remark
BILE tale in which he implicitly be-
ieves. And so it goes.
But this especial evening when
he question of miracles came up
here were some very strong dis
ents.
"Of course, I do not believe in
niracles," said one very matter-of-
act person; the universe is found
d upon law, consequently there is
10 place in it for miracles, which
re an infraction of law"
I'VE are agreed that there can
e no infraction of law" put in an
ther man, but any law can be
4 ffected, even suspected, by other
avs. For instance, a bar of iron
will sink if thrown into the water,
nd yet iron ships will float. You
nay throw a little stick up in the
ir and it will fall to the ground,
rawn thither by the law or gravi-
alton; but an aeroplane will rise to
treat heights and travel in any di-
lection.
At this some one laughed: I'VE
hight sit here arguing the pros and
ons of the matter all night. One
berson may affirm that he believes
N n the existence of miracles and an
Bther as emphatically deny the very
possibility of such things, and yet
here is probably not one person
ere who has not seen the appar-
|ntly impossible happen, or known
n trustworthy authority of its hav-
+ ng done So"
At this every one spoke at once;
II were anxious to tell of their own
Experiences or of those in whose
word they had confidence.
These are some of the stories
hat / remember:
There was a woman who for q
humber of years had made her
home with an elderly relative, who
'vas fond of her and grateful for
her care and mpanionship. He
had told her several times that

nd had made a will to that eff

his will could be found. and the
prospects were that the property
would be so divided that this wom-
ms share of it would be inadequate
Tor her support.
This was a great blow, but she

as he heard nothing from her he
supposed that she had died, as the
disease was in an advanced state.
Several months passed and then
one day she walked into his office
She looked better than he had
every seen her, quite well, in fact,
and she insisted that she was.
She showed him some scars, the
only tract he could discover of her
affliction, and then he asked if she
could explain her recovery.
She said that one day she had
been telling the village priest of
her trouble and complaining to
him of the agony she suffered. He
was an old and sanity man, and
she said that when she had fin
ished he seemed to pray, at least
he was silent for long time, and
then he said, You will have no
more pain; it will go away"
From that moment she never suf-
fered and within a month she was
well.
1t really looks as if, in spite of
our protestations, we all believe
more or less in miracles.

LEGISLATION IS DRASTIC

Washington, JAM II - Senator
romerene and Representative Lever
of South Carolina have introduced in
congress an administration bill pro
posing food rations for the Ameri-
can people, the most drastic food
legislation yet proposed in this coun-
try.
Wheatless and meatless days and

stead of voluntary as at present.
Such new laws, the food administra-
ton holds, are necessary to protect
the millions of loyal Americans CO
operating in food saving against the
and public eating houses which are
said to handle so per cent OF the
food supply.

"other person" provides that practi-
