sage which was three times repeat ed. It was certainly some appeal to 'Elsie.' In this way I had got my L, &, and I, But what appeal could it be? There were only four let ters in the word which preceded FL sie,' and it ended in E. Surely the word must be COME I tried all other four letters ending in E, but could find none to fit the case. So now I was in possession of c, O, and M, and I was in a position to attack the first message once more divid- ing it into words and putting dots for each symbol which was still un- known. So treated, it worked out in this fashion:
 Now the first letter can only be A. which is a most useful discovery, since it occurs no fewer than three times in this short sentence, and the H is also apparent in the second word. Now it becomes:
 Am HERE A. E SLAVE
 Or, filling in the obvious vacanvies in the name:
 AM HERE ABE SLANEY.
 I had so many letters now that could proceed with considerable con- ffdence to the second message, which worked out in this fashion:
 A. ELRI.ES
 Here I could only make sense by putting T and G for the missing let ters, and supposing that the name

The Pickle Admirer.

Dear Miss Fairfax.
 I have gone about with a man for four months. He has shown much affection for me and he also stated that he cared for me. I have taken a great liking to him, but lately he is going out with another girl
 Do you think I should call him or write to him and see what he has to say?
 Your letter is typical of many that come to me. If you want to reopen the situation and your idea is a hope of winning the young mans fickIe fancy back to you, write and ask to see him. If, however you really mean to consider the incident closed, what is there for you to discuss?

Guarding a Daughter,
By BEATRICE TARTAN.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
 My daughter has been going about with a man near as old as her fath- CT, who has a very bad record.
 I stopped this man from coming to my house when I found out his reputation
 would like to know whether I did right or wrong.
 K. R. Your idea was right-your method wrong. If you forbid the man in your house, the girl wtli think him harshly treated and begin to pity him and take sides with him against the world. Don't risk her meeting him outside. Don't risk enlisting her in terest in him as man she may get the idea of reforming. Have him at your home and stay around to watch over the situation. Try to make the girl see him as he is. Can't you invite in some fine young fellow who will show him up by contrast? |? The idea is to save your daughter not throw her into the arms of an old ScrOundrel.
