might be now a millionaire, if he had
not years back voluntarily paid huge
sums to clear his brother of debt. and
keep the family name spotless- Then,
too, so long as the brother lived, he
had been generous in help to him, who
was the soul of improvident kindEi-
ness. Louise felt to the marrow of
her bones all she owed the good mar
row man, too fine-bred to recall bene-
fits bestowed. It seemed to her she
must obey him-or die. Death, in
deed, seemed her only refuge-she
could not think of accepting Johnny

Then when she was most distraught
came Melville's letter-brief and
blurred as tho written in mad haste.

Johnny saw her read it-not for

AS she crushed the sheet within
shaking hand, he touched her shoul-

"Honey-trust yourself to me! Even
if I can't ever make you love me, it
will be-better than-the other in
evitable thing

then with a sob gave him the letter.
When he had read it he turned to
see her sitting with bowed head. face
hidden in her hands, and trembling

there and dropping lower still.

CHAPTER XCI.
Fortunately Mrs Gray's presence of
mind saved me from being seriously
burned altho 1 was in a good deal of
pain. and i'll from the shock. The
doctor insisted that I remain in bed
ness itself and not once mentioned the
attic or what 1 had done.
L shuddered as I thought of what
might have happened-the house
burned, myself SCARED for life, and
perhaps others injured, all because of
my curiosity and my jealousy
L had time to think in those days
while my burns were healing. 1 made
UP my mind that it was impossible for
me to be like Leola- Irma Barton had
said she made Everett very unhappy
at times, and was also often unhappy
herself. 1 also recalled what she had
said about Leoia being a versatile hos
tess and an entertaining companion.
[ knew Everett was not only fond of.
but also proud of his home. 1 would
also learn to be a good hostess, and I
would try to make myself an enter
tanning companion.
I would forget that she was tenn
peramental. Evidently / was not, and
SO made failure when 1 tried to fol-
low her erratic actions-as far as l
knew them. 1 would be more atten-
tive to what Mrs. Barr suggested, and
would study harder to make myself
accomplished. Someway the thought
that it was Irma Barton who had told
me of Leola's destinations. as well as
her faults, made her, Leola, seem more
human than she had before. l would
copy all / knew of the good in her.
and forget that it was thru her emo
tional temperament she had secured
her own way with Everett.
But it is so easy to make good reSo-
lutions, especially when one is i'll and
remorseful and-a bit ashamed.
l really was ashamed. had thought
of reading Leola's letters as my right
because ] was EverettiS wife. l was
sure 1 never had a letter he might
not read. But as I lay quietly think
ing things over, I saw 1 had been
guilty of a mean, low action. l would
not have dreamed Of opening letter
that came for him thru the postman
Why should think L had the right tc
read Leolas letters simply because he
had opened them years before?

OUR FLAG STILL WAVES.

To those who may fear that the
country is headed straight toward
ruin, the following optimistic editor
ial utterance from the Des Moines
Capital is commended:
The steel strike, so far as appear
ances go, hasn't worried anybody. The
strike scarcely gets first page posi-
ton any more. Wall street claims it
never heard of the steel strike, or else
the plutocrats do not care what hap
pens. Prices of steel stock have held
their own.
The New York elements have con-
tinued to smoke twenty-five cent ci-
gars. The factories have continued to
run. TheA stores where merchandise
Is sold cannot secure the goods fast
enough to satisfy the trade. The de-
mand for fur coats is on the increase
with prices having no downward ten
dencies. The men and women on the
streets of the cities wear cheerful
smiles. The bankers a;.a not worrying
The farmers loan banks are figuring
on lower rates of interest.
In Chicago and New York new ho-
tells are being planned. Some of them
are ready to open. Others are in full
operation.
Railroad passenger trains are
crowded. Even the upper berths are
in demand.
The bituminous coal strike is on and
the strikers think that they are trans
acting big business in opposition to the
government. To the stranger the sit
uation would look serious. It should
be dangerous to challenge the govern
ment, but our government is chaI-
lenged so often that challenges go un-
noticed.
The bituminous coal strike has
scarcely produced a ripple. Occasion
ally a church may close for want of
heat. few schools may follow But
the water and light plants will keep
going. The farmer is burning up a
little wood.
The price of railroad and Industrial
stocks is barometer of business and
ly Is proceeding as usual. Nobody ex-
poets the strike to amount to much
When it becomes real serious the
American people will settle it in the
way 1t ultimately will have to be set
tled-by putting into the law the pro-
vision that no man can cause another
man to freeze and that no combina-
ton dare stop a railroad.

In the Massachusetts election, tire
Democrat candidate for governor de-
clared that if elected he would restore
their badges to the striking Boston po-
licemen. Governor Coolidge took di-
rectIy the opposite position, declaring
that no man who had violated a sa-
cred obligation would be trusted again,
in the same place. The people of
Ma massachusetts, have rendered their
verdict as between the two views. and
public sentiment thruout the country
Overwhelmingly endorses their deci-
sicn. But there was another issue in
the campaign which seems generally
to have been overlooked. Governor
Coolidge was outspOken in favor of
ratification of the peace treaty as it
stands altho his own party as well as
the Democrats had resolved against it
in their platforms.

vertising profession to contribute the
first practical assistance.
The advertising men treated the
situation just as they would any other
problem. when you want to adver-
tise wall paper or underwear or chew
ing gum" said our friend the advertis-
ing man, what do you do? You find
out all the facts about your product
and then you proceed to tell the peo-
pie about it. L know a man, for in
stance, who had to write ads about
the wall paper business. At first, he
thought it was hopeless-that he never
could find anything interesting about
wall paper, 1 mean. But he did. He
found that all sorts of interesting
things went into the making of wall
paper, including moss, which was
brought all the way from Iceland.
Some of the best ads he ever wrote
were about this product.
This is where the educational fea-
ture of advertising comes in, and in
the last analysis that is really all that
advertising is-education. 1t is ad-
vertising which has formed and kept
up the American standards of living.
1t has educated the public to the
necessity of plumbing and steam heat
and electricity
Yes" interrupted a salesman, who
had been listening to this dissertation.
1T doesn't seem SO long ago that we
bathed in the family laundry tubs, and
remember how we used to buy crack
ers from a barrel? Now we want
them done up in neat packages. And
how we used to make fun of the peo-
pie who wore silk stockings! Say" he
broke off, did you ever hear that
story about the Englishman who said
that the thing that impressed him
most about this country was the fact
that everybody wore silk stockings?"
With great difficulty the advertising g
enthusiast and his salesman were led
away from their "reminiscences and
back to the subject of industrial diff
ficulties.
We'll, that's all that capital and
labor need to settle their disputes" 3"
concluded the advertising man. Just
education. When We get all the facts
before them and show them the great
romance of industry-its capacity for
service-they will think less of their
wages and their profits, and more
about their business. If advertising is
to succeed in this instance it must
create what it has created between the
retailer and the consumer spirit of
fair dealing"
Why not a rousing, nationwide e
campaign on the pattern of the liberty
loan drives, to make labor and capital
and the public all understand each
other?
Let's do it!

The best time to mediate is when

No matter how successful you may

one faces ones self and looks into the
mirror of ones self. things usually

things to come to pass-and then if
they do not, to get right inside of the

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
married ten years and have lived with
my husbands people ever since we
have been married. None of them
seem to like me, altho l try every way
to please them.
I have tried to get my husband to
move, but he will not, and L haven't
any people. Father and mother died
when I was a young girl.
When l married 1 loved my husband
dearly. We weren't married long be-
fore he started to go with other wo-
men. That almost broke my heart,
but I stayed with him. He got to do
ing better until last year another wo-
man came between US. He4s with her
all the time and never takes me any
where.
1 am a good housekeeper keep my
self nice and clean and have a lot of
friends 1 am at loss what to do.
THANK YOU
You mentioned no children in your
letter and therefore I take it for
granted that you have none.
Your husband probably loves you
more than any other woman, but is
not awake to the fact. Tell him that
you are not going to remain in his
to provide a home for you some
where else. He will refuse at first,
but if he sees you are determined
to leave, L believe he will do this for
you.
In case you find he no longer loves
you. probably you will be happier to
go to work and live somewhere else.
Separation from you may teach him
that he still loves you. II 1t does
not, however, you will be happier
alone than to remain in a home where

SIEDITATIVE REFLECTION.

1t pays to think things out Folks
who look ahead, do not have to con-
sumo much time in looking back.
Those who foresee are always ready
for the unexpected
Acting on unframed impulse brings
many regret. On the other hand,
by acquiring the habit of meditating
on your actions each day and on the
things you expect to do, or see done,
you fortify yourself against the time
when quick decision is demanded
Mediate. Reflect. Think things
out. Reason with yourself-as a
habit.
After all, the best fellow to consult
is yourself. He knows you better than
anybody else and understands YOU
better. And he is liable to be kinder
to you, too. People do not consult
