rather suddenly disillusoned. That
is all. / shall not see Mildred
again, for l do not want to put my
self in a position to be hurt any
more, and l am afraid things are
still too recent for her not to be
able to hurt me. Do you UNDER
stand?"
Honora nodded. YES" she said
softly. What are you going to do
now?"
His Plans Laid
Father left more than enough
insurance to keep mother in COM
fort" Arthur informed her. This
government contract will put our
firm back on it's feet and leave a
big margin for development when
the war is over.
"Dean--manage of our office
knows as much about the business
as l do-more than l do, l guess.
J am Going to give him an interest
in the concern, and put him in
charge of things. Then-as for me
oh, Honora, thank God / am go
ing to war;"
So bright and triumphant was his
smile that it was almost as if a
brilliant light had been flashed upon
his face.
The girl did not return his smile.
Her face was very white and her
lips quivered and twitched.
You are going to war;" she re-
peated slowly as if trying to grasp
the full significance of his declara-
ton. "When?"
He gazed at her thouhtfully, Curl
ousiy. You do not look a bit glad
for me, Honora," he accused.
1 was thinking-of your mother"
she said somewhat awkwardly. "Of
curse l am glad-for your sake
lhat you are going. But you can
not expect the women who stay be-
END to be as cheerful about il as
you men who go. Now can you?"
FOR an instant he hesitated. To
f1onora the restaurant seemed TO
nave grown suddenly more still than
Defore. 1t was as if every sound in
the room separated itself distinctly
from every other sound.
At table behind Arthur Rruca
and Honofa Brent a girl and her
escort-a man in uniform-were
chatting confidentially. Occasionally

Use Cocoanut Oil
For w ashing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless) is much bet
ter than the most expensive soap or
anything else you can use for sham
pooing, as this can't possibly inJure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abundance
of rich creamy lather and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months.

CHAPTER CLNXVII

"Anne, where's the money we
owe Neal?" Jim demanded over MS
coffee cup on the morning after my
brothers return.
You'd say it was just like wom-
an if l told you where 1 had it hid
den," / temporized. watching Meals
flushed, uneasy face.
Go get it," ordered Jim. cor bet
ter still, I'll write you a check for
the amount plus the interest. Thatll
stake you until you land a job,
young fellow. Unless you've changed
your mind about Harrison and
West?"
mo, thank YOU" replied Neal, his
voice refIecting some of the misery
of his face.
Jim went across to the desk and
busted himself with his checkbook.
After a minute he turned with a
yellow oblonE paper in his hand.
Here you are. Neal-and now you
can keep your little hoard, Anne. or
get some do-dads with it. You could
use a new frock, ! imagine"
"Thank you" l said, wondering
why Jim's generosity left me so
cold.
Neal took the check gingerly be-
tween stiff fingers. AS he cast his
eyes over it, his face became u
shade that matched his hair.
mo, you don't! Nosirec, you
DON'T" he cried suddenly in a
strangIed voice. This check does
MT go, jim. If you want to-fling
back the money l paid for my
lodgings, l suppose I'll have to take
it because Pm so darn near broke
But you can't add any twenty-five
dollars"
INTEREST" smiled Jim, largely.
Neal took the paper between his
fingers and there was a tiny ripping
sound, but it stopped in a second,
for Jim caught Meals wrists in his
hands, crying:
mo, you don't! Don't be a fool,
Neal. There are some things that
are too darn insulting. Hanging
up a receiver on man, tearing his
check for instance. Don't pull
either of those on me; they're as
bad as box on the ear. I'll write

or intended to say, was lost in
sudden upswelling of music from
the orchestra stationed at the far
end of the room.
"Not For Several Days"
The musicians were playing a
then-popula war song. Persons at
nearby tables hummed it. The girl
and soldier at the table behind Ar
thur and lIonora pushed back their
chairs and rcSe-the man whistling
shrilly the air that the. orchestra
was playing.
Arthur's waiter was lowering near
with the check when the music had
ceased. Arthur paid him absent
mindedly.
when do you leave Fairlands?"
Honora asked.
Not for several days" he replied.
II have q lot to attend to before l
go. 1t will be an officers training
camp for me for Il few weeks, then
commission. l hope-and then, l
hope most of all-F'rance"
Voices in angry dispute sounded
behind him. The soldier with the
girl was arguing loudly with a
waiter. 1t was evident that he had
been drinking.
Things are noisy here just now,"
Arthur said, frowning in annoy
ance. LAS soon as that lazy waiter
comes back with my change we Will
CO."
Honora did not look around, but
as. Arthur was helping her into her
jacket she heard him gasp, and the
hand that was holding the wrap
grew limp. She turned and fol-
lowed the direction of his gaze.
The noisy soldier was coming to-
ward them. 1t was Tom Chandler.
His hair was touseled and his face
flushed. He had not recognized Ar
thur and Honora. But the girl to
whom he clung saw them and avert
ed her face in passing as though to
avoid their scrutiny.
1t was Mildred.

CHAPTER LXNII

CHAPTER LXVII
There was moments silence
after Honora spoke. Arthur Bruce
looked abstractedly at the salt-cel-
lar that he was twirling nervously
between his fingers.
"Have you told Mildred?" Honora
broke the silence.
NO" briefly. II am not going
to-"
No one was ever to know what
an effort her next speech cost Hon
ora, but she made it after only a
seconds hesitation.
Arthur" she pleaded, stretching
out her hand impulsively, don't
be too hard on Milly! / know she
has disappointed you. l know that
YOU and she have had some silly
quarrel. But she is only a child.
Give her a chance to look at things
seriously. She is young, and she
doesn't understand"
"She is within eighteen months
of your age" he asserted.
Yes" Honora admitted, but 1
am the elder aind 1 have had to
take care of her for years. That
makes a difference"
Nothing more was said on the
subject until the waiter removed
the last dishes and brought finger
bowls. Then Arthur raised his head
and met Honora's frank eyes with
a smile.
Il am not going to tell Mildred"
he remarked suddenly, because she
would not understand. If she has
not understood up to now she never
will. You see"-with an effort to
be humorous-"All is over between
us" as they say in plays.

encouraging the attention of another

another check, If you insist. But
you let me do the tearing up"
Neal complied, but strange gilt
ter mad come into his eyes, and it
didn't fade. Jim took the check,
tore Off his signature, minced it
thoroughly, and then applied his
fountain pen to the checkbook
again. When he finished writing,
he looked up and addressed me:
Anne, I'm signing the lease on
our new apartment this noon. Meet
me at the Walgrave at six, and I'll
take You up and show you over the
place. Cosby'l join us there, as he's
looking over his own diggings, and
Wen take him TO dinner and a
show"
You're not going to sign the
lease before I've seen the apart
ment?" l gasped, and as 1 spoke l
noticed how Meals eyes were fairly
glued to Jim's face.
why not?" It's lust right, tell
you. Good neighborhood, hand

That's just it. Jim," l. protested
hopefully. Maybe l could get more
for the same money. And, besides,
woman always loves to pick out
her own wall papers and look over
the plumbing and the linen closet
and the kitchen stove."
THE walls are tinted. And you'll
have a cook"
Jim's tone disposed a triflie scorn-
fully of my pleas unsophisticated.
and 1 couldn't belittle myself before
Neal by fighting for my rights in
the matter of closet room and re-
frigerators. So l agreed little
shakily.
Then I'm to meet you at the
Walgrave at siX?"
That's it," said Jim, and hand
ing Neal his check, he departed
blithely.
Jim likes to have his own way"
commented Neal, crumpling the

Neal, he never thought" 1 cried,
repeating Meals phrase, with
changed emphasis.
NO" began Neal, and seizing his
hat and coat, turned a white, hurt
face as he flung a sentence at me.
I'm full up with your Harrisons
full, fed up"
Then the door slammed and 1 was
left lone.

What Is the Cause of
BackaChe?
BY DOCTOR CORNELL

Backache is perhaps the most
common ailment from which women
suffer. Rarely do you find anybody
free from it. Sometimes the cause
is obscure, but DR.. Pierce, of Buff
falo, N. Y, q high medical author
ity says the cause is very often a
form of catarrh that settles in the
delicate membranes of the feminine
organs. When these organs are
inflamed. the first symptom is back
ache, accompanied by bearing down
sensations weakness, unhealthy
discharges, irregularity, painful Pc
riods, irritation, headache and a
general rundown condition. Any
woman in this condition is to be
pitied, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DIR. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription, which is q separate
and distinct medicine for women. 1t
is made of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol or opiate of any
kind, for DR.. Pierce uses nothing
else in his prescription. Favorite
Prescription is u natural remedy for
women, for the vegetable growths
of which it is made seem to have
been intended by Nature for that
very purpose. Thousands of girls
and women, young and DID, have
taken it, and thousands have writ
ten grateful letters to DR.. Pierce,
saying it made them well. In
taking Favorite Prescription it is
reassuring TO know that it goes
straight to the cause of the trouble
There is but one way to overcome
sickness, and that is to overcome the
cause. That is precisely what Fa-
vorite Prescription is intended to do.

Constipated women, as well as
men, are advised by DIR. Pierce to
take his Pleasant Pellets. They are
just splendid for costiveness.

Pacific Highway TO
Be Paved Is Feet

The Pacific highway from the Cali
fornia line to Portland will be paved
with 16-foot paving, according to
the decision of the state highway
commission when two contracts were
awarded ON a basis of 12-foot
were changed to a 16-foot pavement.
The latter with two foot shoulders
on each side, has been the standard
for the state construction, two
stretches were narrowed for finan-
cial reasons.
The Portland Oregonian states
that Oskar Huber, who has the Sicki-
you section, offered to reduce his
bid $500 a mile, or a total OF $4,000,
If the commission would broaden the
12-foot road to 16 feet. This propo-
sition was accepted, on motion OF
Commissioner Booth, who explained
that the finances were such that a
16-foot pavement could be laid,
based on the prices which have been
by contractors since the
April meeting. Bids opened yester-
day were lower than those received
in April, and the same satisfactory
trend was observed in the big batch
of contracts let in the first May
At a meeting Of the Ashland Com
mercial Club held two weeks ago
dissolution was passed asking the
state highway commission to widen
the grade on the Pacific highway
over the Siskiyous to 16 feet, both
for safety on the high grades and
for appearance, as this is the en-
trance into the state from California
and the wider paving will add much
TO the beauty Of the country in that
locality.
