Love in a cottage" no longer
means what it once did--because cot
tages are so much more expensive
now!
Love on the installment plan" is
the modern method. And it starts the
young couple with burden OF debt to
riflces before they launch into mat
ried life.
Every wife should be ready to share
her husbands burdens But the bur
dens would be much lighter for both
If they made sure they both will be
willing TO make the necessary sac
riflces before they lounch inta mat
rimony.

YOU are q and that you have d good
position.
Probably within the next two or
three years you can afford to marry
and give the girl Il comfortable home.
But If you should marry now, when
you are just getting started you
might be held back. You are both
young and it would be foolish for you
TO rush into marriage.

CHAPTER ].
"And he went the way to her house her house Is
the way hell, going down the chamber of death"

N1CK MARCHURST slowly tore to pieces
- the scrawled note that one of the hotel
servants had brought to the little table
at which he was sitting, smiled slightly and lit
another cigar. His friend. Crichton Hoodless,
tactfully entertaining a man who could be
useful to him, had scribbled few words ask
ing him TO be patient for yet little longer.
They had been discussing plan throughout
dinner, he wrote, and now, over coffee, that
plan seemed to be fruting to definite con.
clusion.
Marchurst understood. He was very we'll
satisfied to linger at his table. watching in
lazy mood the ripple and surge Of the Cairene
crowd about and beyond the hotel terrace.
Color, novelty, incident, noise--enough, more
than enough, to mitigate an empty half-hour
for any man.
Marchurst smiled over his cigar at the
many-hued eddy, watching idly. But he was
already so familiar with it all that il had lost
its power to exclude everything else from his
mind, and his thoughts went back to Hoodless
The Washington times., 1922-12-03

Poor old Crichton-what pity he had to
do this sort of thing at all! Why he was
like man who went through life always with
a gun under his arm--ready at a moments
notice to take quick right and left at a brace
of birds-no, money bags--wth wings-,that
was it exaetly--a brace Of winged money bags,
whenever they whirred into view. OF course,
he was pretty expert at it--and did nothing
that gentleman could not do. He was not
in the category of the dubious sportsmen who
shot their game sitting. Not at all. Old
Hoodless was--well, straight Straight az
string. And IL by the sheer necessity of the
past few years he~had acquired a very pro
nounced and arrowy skill at recognizing op-
portunities to make for himself that income
which he had expected, but failed, to inherit,
why, that was entirely to his credit.
A pity, perhaps, for many reasons-not
least Of which was the fact that il was ant to
produce just such unexpected little gaps and

OF 0LDE TCWNE FALL

LOGANSPORT, Ind, July 22-The
131st anniversary of the capture of

BANDITS DON'T WORRY |
AMERICAN CITIZENS
BY FRED'k G. NEUMEIER
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

TAMPECO, Mexico, July 22.-Amer-
leans in Tampico are not worried over
the numerous reports of attacks by
bandits
While they admit the attacks in
many instances are serious, they have
become so used to the continual re-
ports that they are not alarmed.
The alleged bandit raids are not
even discussed, but instead the con-
versations, when not about OIL are
about golf. baseball, dances, etc.
Most of the Americans in Tampico
live in their own homes. All of the
large companies have special homes
for their officials, which are in groups
of colonies and guarded by the COM
pany's police. Other Americans live in
homes in various parts of the city.
Oil companies have constructed sew
eral ball parks and an "oil league"
plays regular schedule.
The Los Mangos golf club, an Ameri-
can institution. has fine course of
nine holes and a golf house near the
city. This course was completed May
1, 1922. Garven Scott McCurdy, an oil
official and managing editor of the For
eign Legionaire, is the director of the
club
The American Legion is very active
in the city and takes the lead in ar
ranging for entertainment for the
Americans.
The Fourth of July celebration,
which began early in the morning and
ended with dance at night, surpassed
many of the larger celebrations in the
United States. All the English-speak-
ing people in the city Joined with the
Americans in the celebration which
was staged by the legion. The Mexi-
can general in this district had his
band furnish the music for the day.
American women take an active part
in the entertainments and they have
formed an auxiliary to assist the le-
gion.
