When 4 Girl M0rries
By ANN LESLIE.

you call it. at your desk. He said you probably hadn't returned, ana so he'd go down to take your place."
 At my words MT. Rogers's face twisted into fury and words burst from his lips.
 '+The young fool" he muttered. ''In teach hin''-
 Then he caught himself up again, but in a voice which still had the tone of stridency he'd been using moment before. he fairly shouted:
 From what you say I gather that the boy came away from his post to bring you up here. That's what rattled me. He knew he should have stayed till I got back from see ing my friend off for Canada I'll be up again in five minutes, but now, if you'll excuse me, I really must go and see about that boy" He started down the hall as he spoke and turned to fling back over his shoulder as if in explanation startling loud:
 Cant have the desk deserted on the one night of my life, when I have to quit the job and see a friend off for Canada
 stood still and silent for a mo- ment as his footsteps died away down the corridor. I had a definite i'm pression that he'd been getting a message to Dad Lee somehow Strangely enough my attitude toward had suddenly taken on an aspect | similar to the one I'd had toward the young clerk. Stafford, at our first meetings. Then, I'd felt that the clerk wasn't being square with me-that he had Dicks interests at heart and was hiding useful knowl- edge which he possessed concerning my missing father. Now I was in a dizzy whir1 of changing emotions. Could I trust young Stafford? Or MT. Rogers? Neither-or both? It wasn't possible to come to any conclusion. so I opened the door and | went back to the sick room, which seemed more like a chamber of i'm | trigue. Dad Lee was groantng with pain when I came in-but when I | tried to moisten his bandages with some boracic acid I found standing | on the table at his bedside, he push ed me away nervous1y. Don't touch me-" he munbled. | Don't touch me can't bear it''
 "You are in pain" said. 'I want | to relieve you"
 | At this, poor Dad Lee began cry | ing with the ugly raspfng sobs to which a man yields only when he | must.
 You'll hate me when you know" he gasped out. And yet I done what I had to. had to be loyal And if I had the strength I'd tell you now-not that 1t would do any good. But I'd like to tell you so 1 you'd know I didn't mean any harm to you. I wanted to be fair to | everyone
 Then. greatly to my surprise, Car 1 lotta arose from the chair where she'd been sitting like a mummy and began wetting the bandages on Dad | Lees head and chest. At last his groaning and sobbing died down and | he gave a little grunt to indicate | comfort. At that Car1otta drew her self erect and demanded so sudd enly | that the words seemed to pop from | her mouth:
 ''But if you had to choose between Dick and your daughter-which l would it be?''
 1 And almost as if under a hypnotic spell Dad Lee parted his lips and whispered:
 l Dick"
 Suddenly he flung hfmseuf high on the pillows, crying: 1 'T didn't mean it: I didn't mean tt"

 At sight of Car1otta and me at Dad Lees bedside, MT. Rogers pull. ed himself up short with an effort which was clearly evident. Then in a. hushed and elaborately sympathe- tic tone which was very different from the energetic way he'd come fHnging into room. he asked:
 "Is he all right? Anything we can do for him z?
 Dad Lee stirred and moaned fret fully. I watched him for a second Then I turned to Carlotta. She sat in a shadow staring across the room -intently as I could see beyond doubt-but 1t wasn't at Dad Lee she gazed Her eyes were boring into Mr. Rogers face.
 "rd better come out into the hall to speak to you," I replied.
 At once he held open the door and stood aside for me to pass.
 I'm so sorry I wasn't here when your father was brought tn.' exclaim- ed MT. Rogers. You had my as- suranoe once not so very long ago that I'd do anything in my power to serve minor you But I was called by telephone just little while before-the accident-by-a friend living at the hotel uptown. You know the place." he added nervously, giving the name of the very hotel to which Lyons had traced Dick West.
 Strangely enough his voice rose to a loud and strident tone as he pro- nounced the name of the hotel. But what was even more strange was that his hand, which still held the knob of Dad Lees door, terked nottceaibly just then and the the door swung ajar for a second. Looking in, I got the impression that Dad Lee had
 lifted himself momentarily and that his eyes were wide open. But even if this meant anything. I didn't see what danger 1t could portend or what I could do about it. Instinctive1y, however, I took a guarded attitude toward the manager of the hotel. Please close the door tightly" said quietly, and then I took my po- sition in front of it, renarl4ing in explanation: "I don't want my father disturbed. He ought to have a l nurse. you know"
 "Ys-yes-Tn send the house nurse up immediately" replied Mr. Rogers
 Didn't he have a nurse-and send her out on some errand ?" I asked At those words MT. Rogers,s face frightened. was very sure I'd made no mistake about that, for the glow from a big bulb just overhead fell full on him.
 ''She ought to be back soon." he l said with great suavity and a. certain satisfaction which made me suspi- cious. I'm, glad, for I know how hard 1t would be on you if he | had no attendant. I suppose then you'd feel that you had to stay the | night-which would be most ex- hausting."
 'IH stay the night in any event p | I replied. Surely you can give me a room."
 'T love to oblige you" MT. Rog- CTS murmured smoothly. "But there | isn't a corner in the house. This is my own room. Young Stafford knew I'd want to do all I could for you. so in my absence he took pos session of my room just as I'd have wished him to do had been here If he were here now I'd make it clear to him that I'm very grateful D He Is here" I cried. anxious to do @ good turn for the boy who d done his best for me. After he ln~"ueht here he went down to
 stand another watch. or whatever

 on the Problems of Girls.
 Emma dropped into my office the other day with a satisfied smile play ing about the corners of her lips Emma is Mrs. Hilary Smith, and shares the fortunes of a struggling young architect whose commissions are rare So the first thing thar smile suggested to my mind was that something splendid had come EIilary's way. And to fort1fy the inn pression of success which Emma made there was a wonderful new hat fairly breathing of Fifth Avenue.
 Don't I look spiffy'' asked Emma naivefy. "I'm all dressed up to have tea with a charming new man I met at dinner the other night. I coud- mt afford the hat, but I'll save the price out of the housekeeping money"
 It didn't occur to Emma that shaw ing down on the good meals to which struggling Hillary is entitled and which he sadly needs, was bad enough in itself-and infinitely worse since it was done to pay for a new hat with which she was to impress 6 man with whom Hilary might hate 
 But there's no harm in Emma Neither is there Is Sally Lee who dimes twice a week with a stately widower while her husband Is of on a business trip to South America And Bobby Jackson is a devoted hus- band and doesn't mean a bit of harm when he invites every attractive wo- man he meets to tea or to lunch with him
 
 less, pleasing seeking moernity They have the creed of self-expres- sion and the longing for hattery and excitement which seem to be part of today It is almost our code to- day to seek enjoyment where we choose, if only we stay within the law.
 But the trouble with our little filings Is that the sometimes lead us further into adventure than we ever meant to go. And appearances are so often against us that we get an aura of wickedness which we wear unconsciously for time and then begin almost without knowing it to live up to.
 Most philanderers start innocently enough. They have the utmost faith in themselves. They know where tc stop. They wouldn't do anything really wrong for the world. But the line between little foolishnesses and greatly folly isn't so clearly defined that 1t is always easy to watch your step and hold it back in time.
 From the point of view of city life the old fashioned marriage-partner- ship is increasingly rare. No one seems to know just why. No one seems to know just how to stop the mad whirI in which we are all en- gagged. And a few even shrug their shoulders and indulge in p1atitudes about being young only once. an6 needing self-expression and finding no harm in a little fun.
 But we start-and don't stop. And homes seem to mean increasingly less and gayety increasingly more. I wonder if there isn't a cure. wonder if that cure doesn't lie close at hand for any of us who will learr that the simplest pleasures are the best-and that one big devotion is l worth half a dozen little emotions.

For many years the scientists have been warning everybody, young, mid dle-aEed and old, that kissing Is dan gerous from a health standpoint and even, in some instances. have tried to have it abolished by law. But 1t has been impossible. Even in localities where the practice is severely frown- ed upon, considerable bootleg kissing has been going on The scientists have raved to the effect that the practice is responsible for the spread of great ep1dennics-
 Now we read in the papers that last week there was sort of social held in @, home on Long Island where six young ladies sold kisses and were ,smacked YoIuminously by the young gentlemen. During the party man with a heavy cold arrived and cough ed constantly Next two or three days 31 persons who had attended the party were taken down with the flu But, to the surprise of one and all, not one of the six girls who sold the kisses nor one of the customers who bought the same contracted the flu The only ones to come down with it were old married folks who never kiss anybody.
 It Is thus we are obliged again to give the old whiskbrooms of science the gate on this subject Let it be hoped we will not have to speak so them again.

HAYWARD is
BADLY SCORCHED
Little City Down the Omaha
Had to Fight For it's Exist
ence Against the Fire Fiend
Tuesday.


A fire which threatened to wipe
out the entire city of Hayward broke
out yesterday noon at 1880 in one
corner of the Edward Hines Lumber
Company's mill, and in forty min
utes was raging in the sawmill, the
Mccormick School and the Norwe-
gian Methodist church, resulting IN
a loss of more than 100000, only
partially covered by insurance.
Many of the residence sof the town
also caught fire, but these, and the
Norwegian Methodist church were
saved, while the saw mill and the
school were burned to the ground.
AS the wind was blowing in direc-
ton that would spread the fire all
over the town, calls were sent out
to Spooner and Ashland to be pre-
pared in case aid should be needed.
It was not necessary, however, to get
outside. help.
The Mccormick school building
houses all the pupils in the grades,
and was valued at $4,000. 1t was
very fortunate that the fire came at
a time when the pupils were not in
the building. 1t is expected that
city will build a new high school, and
use the present high school building
for the grades.
The Edward Hines Company saw
mill, although it has not been opera
ting for two years, was valued at
$15O,OOO. It will probably not be
rebuilt, as the Hines company no
longer carrier ON numbering in Hay
ward. No cause is given for the
origin of the fire.

the purchase of $4,000 of the tar

The successful bidder, so it 10
understood, is now at the Court House

certificates held by the county and
these will be purchased according TO
the terms of the bid.
Bayfield, county held upwards of
$175,O00 Of these certifc ates, which
have been returned by the towns as
an offset against the county tax, and
because of the large accumulation
Bayfield, county became hard pressed
for funds and it was voted 10 adver-
tise them for sale.
A number of the members Of the
board were in favor Of accepting q
bid for the sale of all Of the tar,
certificates held by the county &C
600 on the dollar, and had this offer
been accepted it would have dispos-
ed of all of the tax certificates now
ION hand.
AS it is the successful bidder now
has opportunity TO pick the cream
of the tax certificate held by the
county and TO take up to $50, 600, the
first half at face and the remainder
at 75c on the dollar.
Heretofore owners of property who
had let their taxes go delinquent
could purchase the tax certificate at
face when held by the county ac.s
cording to a resolution passed by the
county board at a recent meeting, but
as soon as they have been transferred :
to the purchaser they will bear an
interest rate of 1870 calculated from
the date of the certificate, to which
will be added all fees.
