THE HEART BREAKER
A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY
by VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER

question, Mlly. What puzzles me
is how he dared call you up to-day.
You certainly gave me to understand
that you and he had parted in an
ger"
And 1 was a fool to tell you of
it," Mildred declared. Yes, we did
part in anger. Then when L saw
that he was willing to do what some
model young men shrink from doing
and when he proved this by en-
listing tried to think kindly of
him."
HOnOra Interferes
did you write and tell him SOP"
81 did not. But when he sent me
postcard the other day saying he
was coming home for few days. l
decided that | would bury the
hatchet. So l just wrote him a post
card back again with the words
IrAll right" on it That was all. Ger
tainly nobody - not even you -
could object to that"
There was a long silence. Mildred
moved restively.
"Well?" she demanded. Have you
anything else to say?"
Honora shook her head. She was
/ too perturbed to allow herself to
speak.
Il may add" Mildred remark ed
| airily, that Tom asked me just now
| if he might come and see me to-
night, and / told him that he might
! So what's the use of more conver-
sation on the subject, anyway"
| Then she began humming her gay
| little tune again and went on up to
| her room.
| Honora sat still for a long while
after Mildred had left her, thinking
| over the situation.
| Something was due to Arthur
She must in some way keep hin
from being hurt by Mildred. Yet il

Mildred alone, ne would exercise hi:

and she would, as readily as before
yield to those fascinations. If sh'
were allowed to spend an hour oil
two alone with him that would sure

This state of affairs Honora mus

count, but on Mildreds as well. 4

tween the susceptible and impulsiv'
girl and the reckless and seltisl
young man might lead to. disaster.
There was but one way to aver
this without admitting Arthur int
the secret. And this was the wa!
that she, Honora Brent, must take.

Il hate it. 1t is a horrid task -
! but it seems to be up to me-" she
muttered. 1T will mean Millys in
digation and Tom Chandler's hatred
or, what is worse than his hatred
his ridicule. But it is for Milly's

Was it for Mildred's sake?
The question thrust itself into hei
mind. She answered it in the af-

going to interfere because she die

quite enough to bear already.
She remembered his harassed eX-

He was anxious about his fathers

their father is their natural and
legal guardian, With the first claim
upon them and he has shown no
desire to evade his responsibilities
In fact, so far as you indicate, there
is no fault to be found with his at
titude toward them. Should you go
away, L fancy that the children
would not greatly suffer. AS you
say, it might probably result in the
introduction of a stepmother; but,
then, all stepmothers are not the
dragons of the story books. The
majority of them are more deserv-
ing martyrs crown.
You know the circumstances bet
ter than l do. You know whether

absolutely need you, and, provided
your going away does not SAVIOR of
ingratitude toward your stepfather
in his trouble, your own life and
your own inclination come first.
And, in any event, if you are go
ing to bring a spirit of dissension
into that home or to set those chill
dren against thein father, while you
essay your task in an attitude of
stiff-necked defiance, it is better for
you, better for the little ones and
better for the man that you co.
even though there were fifty step
mothers in the offing.
1t is for YOU to decide.

Would it be proper for me to call

How Vanquish Indifference?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am twenty-one and have been
going with young man six years
my senior for nine months. During
the first six months he was very
attentive to me (having declared
that he loved and wanted to marry
me when in position to do so), but
lately he has acted Indifferent AS
care for him very much, would like
to know what to do. w. u.
You yourself must know best
whether this young man still loves
you, and you, yourself, have given
the answer. How can help you The
art (and what a supremely price
less art it would bel of rekindling
love is beyond my knowledge, as I
fear it is. beyond that of any human
being. However, as q mere matter of
tactics, I can assure you that YOU
will gain little by coaXing the young
man to make protcstatons of love
that he does not really feel.

youthful and becoming. In brown,

with skirt of contrasting plaid or
striped wooden, it will make a splen-

this model.

see no indications of compromise.
Hines has stated that his last meet
ing with Peek was devoid of acri-
monious debate. The discussions
were friendly, it is known, but the
breach was far from being closed as
a result.
Hines was expected soon to give
out another statement defining his
position.
Peek, as well as other members Of
the board, have offered no further
claims.
