PARENTS, READ THIS
How a Father Has Learned to
Save Shoe Bills.

MY son is very hard on shoes, SO
keeping him properly shod has been
cutie an expense to me" writes Mr.. ].
Allison Allen, of Amity, Arkansas.
But since / started to buy Neolin-
soled shoes for him have found that
it costs only about a third as much to
keep him in shoes"
This is because Neolin Soles are so
tough and durable that they wear
very long time. Shoe bills are kept
down because you don't need so many
pairs.
You can get Neolin-soled shoes at
almost any good shoe store. They
come in all styles and for all members
of the family. Neolin Soles are also
available everywhere for residing.
They are produced by a scientific pro-
cess to be what soles ought to be: COM
Portable, waterproof and long-wearing.
They are made by The GOODYEAR Tire
& Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, who
also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed
to outWear any other heels.

Complex questions of love and duty
presented in the sacrifice Of William
Tanner. of IIubbard's Wood, H., who
died with his wife ra.he, than stand by
and see her crushed TO death by train,
are still debated in the city today.
Letters received by the EVENING
PUBLIC LEDGER from readers give
widely varying opinions of Tanner s
act. Some laud his self destruction,
seeing in it proof Of his devotion to his
wife. Others. of sterner minds. see a
neglect of duty. These think Tanner
should have remembered his three chill
drcn and lived to care for them.
Some questioned his rcsourcefulness
in that moment when his brain should
have been working fast. These think
Tanner should have found some way to
rescue his wife and, in this combination
of courage and good sense avoid the
loss of his own life and give to his
children the mother who is now lost
to them.
OF this mind is John f. Bowling OF
307 North Sixty third street. In u let
ter to the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER
Mr.. Bowling says:

r. Tanner and his wife on the tracks of

CHAPTER x.

The next day Patterson telephonet
her that he had called a rehearsal
with the company. Daphne went to
the theater In terror. The stage
| looked utterly forlorn with the actors
and actresses standing about in their
street clothes. Under the bright lights
with the people made up and the au-
dience in full bloom, like vast gar
den, there would be impersonality and
stimulation but the present scene was
as doleful as the funeral of an unpop-
ular man.
Courage was largely a matter of her
superself forcing her reluctant feet
forward. A soldier ordered to leave
a bombproof shelter for an advance,
playground OF shrapneL has just the
struggle with his vaso-motor system
that Daphne had with hers.
With the kindliest smile an amiable
wolf ever wore Patterson invited the
futtering lamb to come to the stream
and drink. Daphne came forward in
a trance and heard Patterson say:
Ladies and gentlemen-Miss Kip,
our new understudy. Give her all the
help you can"
Miss Kemble had graciously chosen
to be present for that purpose. though
the result was only to Increase Daph-
mes embarrassment. An imitation in
the presence of the living model was
a double load to carry.
