CHAPTER xi.

She woke early next morning. IL
was Just six o'clock. She remembered
that her father would be arriving In
two hours. She decided that 1t would
be a pleasant duty to surprise the
poor, old, neglected codger by meeting
him.
At the Grand Central station Daph-
ne found that she was nearly an hour
too early for the train. 1t amused
her to take her breakfast at the lunch
counter, to Chamber on the high stool
and eat the dishes of haste-a cup OF
coffee and q ham sandwich. It was
pleasant to wander about alone in this
atmosphere Of speed, the suburban
trains, like feed pipes, spoutlng
streams Of workers, the outbound
trains drawing their passengers to far
off destinies as If by suction.
At length it was time for the train.
Daphne went to the rope barrier op-
posite the door of entry and waited
In ambush for her father.
At length she made out a rather
shabby man carrying his own luggage.
1t was her father. He looked older
and seedier than she remembered. He
did not expect to be met. He was
looking idly at the new station. He
had not been to New York since 1t had
been thrown open.
She ran to him. He dropped his old
suitcase on the toes of the man follow.

fervor. He devoured her with his eyes
and kissed her again and told her that
she was prettier than ever. All about
them there were little groups embrac-
ing and kissing. There was wonder.
full business In reunions.
When her father said, II haven't
had my breakfast; have you" she lied
affectionately, "No."
Lets have some breakfast to-
gether."
"Flne," said Daphne. "Well go to
the Biltmore."
"KInd Of expensive, isn't 1T" he
asked anxlously.
"It's my treat" she said.
This amused him enormously. $50
you're going to treat, eh?"
"Yep," she said.
"Where did you get all the money"
'T'm a working lady now"
He laughed again and shook his
head over her.
"What did you mean by saying you
were a working lady?' said Wesley
when they were seated at the table
and breakfast was ordered. "Your
mother wrote me something about hav.
ing q little disagreement with you.
She seemed to be right worried, so I
thought I'd better run on to see If I
couldn't sort Of smooth things over.
I'm glad you came to meet me. We
can talk without interruption for once.
Tell me all about It."
She told him the whole story Of her
decision to Join the great social rev.
olution that is freeing women from the
slavery of enslavlng the men. Her
peroration was her new watchwurd: {:
II don't want to take any more money
from you"
"Why, honey" he protested, II love
to give it to you. I only wish I had
ten times as much. 1 couldn't dream
Of letting you work. You're too plrty.
What's that young Wimburn cub mean
by letting you wOrk?"
"Oh, he's bitterly opposed to 1t, 50
I gave him his ring"

an ordinary looking yellow caterpillar
in her baby's clothing and discovered
the rash later. She was advised to

"Caterpillars are the larvae OF

1t Is the sting from these hairs that
poisons, as 1t is almost impossible Tor

Beautiful and ever-charming Irene
Castle is coming back in what may be
her farewell screen appearance in The
Girl From Bohemia" Pathe play.
1t was only week after she had fin
ished this play that she received the
news of the tragic death of her hus-
band, Captain Vernon Castle, who was
killed on the army aviation field in
Texas.
Since then his young widow has re-
tired from her professional activities
and confined her labors to war work.
In the Girls from Bohemia Mrs. Cas-
tie is afforded a splendid opportunity
to practice her winsome art, and Incl
dentally, displays some marvellous
gowns. The Girl from Bohemia comes
to the Richmond theatres Thursday.
On the same day the ever-populaf
little favorite Marguerite Clark will
be seen in The Goose Girl. The story
is delightful one and the picture it
self has been splendidly produced. The
photography is on scale seldom ap-

BRITISH MONOPOLY
WITH CABLE WIRES
Is Being Protested By American Del
egates At Paris Who Claim u. S.
Has Right To Hun Lines, Too.
(By Associated Press)

Paris, March 12-Realizing the pos
sibility of virtual monopoly of cable
communication by Great Britain
should her claim to the captured Ger
man cables be sustained with the con-
sequent submission of the great for
eign business interests OF the United.
States to alien control in this respect,
the American delegates to the peace
conference are endeavoring to make
strong presentations of their case be
fore the experts to whom the subject
has been referred.
Early IN the war the British cut the
two German cables from Emden to
America, took one end to Halifax and
gave the French the other, who made
no attempt to utilize it. The British
now claim these cables as the prizes
of war. America claims the cables
were unlawfully cut and that the Un-
tied States had an interest in them as
being one of the terminals.

Allies To Open Rhine
To Ships Of All Nations

out discrimination is made in the re-
port of the peace conference today by
the commission on international re-
gime of water ways, railways and
ports. 1t is suggested the Rhine be
controlled by commission similar to
the Danube commission. The status
of the Kiel Canal has been settled by
commission on a basis of free use for
all nations for merchant vessels OF
war ships in time of peace. The canal
would continue under German owner
ship and operation but its fortifca-
tions will be left to the decision of the
military and naval experts.
"I say to you there is no time to be
lost if we are to save the world from
the despotism of anarchy, even as we
saved it from the despotism of autoc-
racy. We must make peace without
delay. We have reached crisis in
the affairs of the world. We must
meet it without passion and without
permitting our Judgment to be warp
ed by natural and unavoidable de-
sire for vengeance on the nation which
has committed such atrocities as those
the Germans have committed"

TO DISCUSS ROAD
TAX QUESTION
Meetings Will Be Held All Over the
County at Which Position of Fiscal
Court Will Be Given.
The Fiscal Co,

The Fiscal Court having at its
meeting Tuesday confirmed its formal
action of February 18th, calling an
election for March 29th to ascertain
the wishes of majority of the voters
of the county upon the question of i'm
posing a special levy of 20 cents on
each 500 of taxable property in the
county subject to taxation for the pur-
pose of constructing or reconstruct
ing either or both the roads and
bridges of the county as provided by
law, has requested that a number of
meetings be held in various sections
of the county in order that the pur-
pose of the court in calling the elc
tion may be properly explained and
understood, and for the purpose of
discussing the proposition in all its
aspects so that every voter may un-
derstand before the election is held,
exactly what is proposed to be done.
A general discussion of the subject
| is desired and every one present will
be given an opportunity to be heard
on the question of voting the tax, the
officials say.
The Fiscal Court believes that con-
siderable confusion and misapprehen-
sion and perhaps much misrepresenta-
tion has arisen in regard to the tax
question and a member of the court
or representative iwll be present at
each meeting scheduled below to
state the position of the court in re-
gard to this important question.
y Meetings for discussion of the road
tax will be held at the following nam
ed places at the time for a general
public discussion of the matter and
every citizen and taxpayer is request
ed to be present.
