When 4 Girl Mdrries
By ANN LESLIE.

 Wait a minute,'' Carl protested. You couldn't let me change the sub ject a while ago until you'd threshed out the topic before the house. Now I've a final word to say-and then on we go down to business. I don't want you to think I'm one of those chaps who gets interested in each new wom- an he mets. I don't want you to lay too much stress on a little parsif1age between Miss Sturges and me. She's a fine woman, and your friend, so I hope I'd be cordial to her if she were & regular sad bird. wouldn't fail you in courtesy for the world. I'd ask her to come back if it killed me, but don't you know I'd a million times rather be alone here with you''-
 "tCarl." I cried warningly.
 "Oh, don't be frightened he said grimly, his pipe olenched between his teeth. '.Irn not going to bother you with any emotions. I'm just telling you the truth so you won't think I'm one of those extra mod ern men who follow every w1ll-o'- -wisp of a new girl"
 why shouldn't you chase wilI-o'- the-wisps-or rainbows?" I cried, but he interrupted me in turn with a deadly earnestness and seriousness which was the last thing in the world I wanted from him under the circum- stances.
 'I'm the sort of man to be fairly loyal to an ideal, Barbara Anne, I wouldn't belfttle you-nor my feeling for you-by chasing around and get | ting a crush on any chance girl l happened to meet. Even if I haven't the least bit of right in the world to think of you as anything but a friend TT wouldn't start a irritation right | under your nose. Though it woulu | be only human to try to-show off a
 bit. But even though I respect you for not caring about any one in the world but that splendid husband of | yours, Pm here tonight to serve you with the best I've got. You're on my
 nind-Niss Sturges isn't.
 1 "Now fire ahead and ask for what ever you want of me. And I'll tell you in advance that whatever it is | 'tis yours, even if I have to commit a couple of crimes to get it for you" How can I take advantage of that?" I asked disma11y-at a loss how to treat this declaration of 1oy- l atty greater than I had right to ac- | cept from any man in the world save
 my Jim.
 i NO advantage. All want to do is | to serve you!' declared Carl, "sIt's l about all there is for me in the world now. If it weren't for that I'd pull
 up stakes and clear out where I have fair chance to forget - Oh,
 Barbara Anne, forgive mel didn't
 mean to start off on that trail again.
 I would not risk troubling l oh 1rrI, | with you I sort of run away with my self But let's forget me - and get down to what it is you want of me- Yes, it's time for that" said quietly.
 For although Carl spoke with a sin | cerity which could not be construed as anything but the highest complim ent | he had it in his power to pay me- his | words forced a decision between us And just now 1t was the last one I | wanted.

ExERC1sE AND CONTEMPLATION

Just as 1t is important for those who are overweight to exercise. in or
 der to accelerate their circulation and
 bring fresh blood to the tissues, in
 crease the respiration and better
 oxygenate the blood and tissues, to
 help the removal of waste matter, to
 activate the torpid glandu1ar organs,
 etc., etc, so is 1t important for you
 who are underweight to exercise. Only
 in syour case you should not do so
 much of it.
 And the same setting-up exercises
 are just as good for you as for the
 E. F. F. We are just now begin ming to realize the importance of daily amount of some good strenu-
 ous exercise for all of us-fat, thin. and the rare norma1s.
 The best kind of exercise, everyone
 knows, is the play exercise-tennis,
 golf, basketball, swimming and so on-but not all can avail themselves of those forms. However, we can all do the standard setting-up exer-
 cises, and we should do them daily. There is one exercise, however, that you thin individuals should sedulously avoid And that is talking too much.
 Talking too much I would not say was a habit that was confined to under weight individuals, but I warn you CoOo so much of your energy
 Avoid talking much and never talk of your ailments or your troubles if you have any. Who was it said that bore was a person who, when you l ask him How are you? immediately | begins to tell you. The salutatton | How are you? is not intended as a, | clinical opening and there is only one l proper type of answer to it and 1t is | this: ''I am fine how are youl" 1 You need not consider that you are ] prevaricating when you say that, even | though you are i'll, for you are fine if | you say you are! And should 1t hap pen that you should deport this nor 1 tai realm soon after, you will be l spoken of as some game guy! why, l just a few days ago I met him and | while dhe must have been suffering terribly, he told me he was fine! I
 call him Q good sport!'
 | Of course there are people who
 earn their living by listening to what aiIs others. Tell your troubles to some of that profession when you must And pay them for it, they will listen better. q am not in private practice Sorry!) But refrain from holding an autopsy over your feelings

Dear Mrs. Thompson: WiD you kindly tell me what I can do to fatten my neck and shoulders?
 GRACE
 Bend the head slowly forward un- til the chin touches the neck, and then slowly raise the head to its normal position. Repeat these movements until you are tired Then bend the head as far backward as possible. Sitting erect in chair, bend the head from one side to the other, and then roll the head to the right, left and forward.
 Another good position is to let the arms fang loosely at the side, Raise the shoulders as high as pos stble, then forward, down and back ward, until a circle is formed Con unue this for 8 time and then re- verse the motion. Do this every day for five or ten minutes.
 Again, stand perfectly erect with the arms at the side left them up vertically, inflattng the lungs as the arms ascend. At the same time rise up on the tips of your toes and throw you head back, touching the backs of the hands overhead As the arms slowly descend exhale from the lungs.
 Along with this treatment it is well to use cocoa butter as a massage
 Remember that you cannot ex- pect to see results in week or two Only months of faithful exercise and massage will bring the desired re- suits.
 Dear Mrs. Thompson: My daughter has been invited to go for May walk with some boys and girls from school. They start at 1 o'clock on Saturday afternoon and will get back for a 6 o'clock baked bean dinner at the home of one of the girls
 This would be very fine, except that my daughter is only IT years old and there is to be no chaperone. Would you advise me to let her go She has her heart set on going and don't like to disappoint her. Her father says to let her go.
 ANIOUS MOTHER.
 Yes. let her go. Trust your daugh- ter and let her feel that there are cer- rain things she cannot do and keep xer self-respect. A chaperone may protect a girl for one afternoon, but unless the girl is of good character she will find opportunities for wrong doing at other times.

CHAPTER XIV


 Peter passed a trouoIous evening and night-a night of self-reveIatfons Never that he could remember had he so deeply felt that sting of conscience He, the Grand Duke Peter Nicholae- witch, in love with this little rustic? Impossible! It was the real Peter, tired of the sham and make-beIieve of self-restraint and virtue, who had merely kissed a couitry girl. He was no anchorite, no saint. Why had he tied himself to such a duty from motive of silly sentimentalism
 He winced at the word Was it that? SentimentaIism He had shown it persistently, rather proud of his capacity for self-control, which had ridden even with his temptations Why should it matter so much to him what this girl thought of him? What had he said to her? Nothing much that he hadn't said to other women It was the fact that he had said it to Beth that made the difference The things one might say to other women meant something different to Beth the things one might do. . He had been a fool and lost his head handled her roughly, spoken to her wildly, words only intended for gentle moods, softer purposes. Shrewd little Beth, whose wide, blue eyes had seen right down into the depths of his heart He had been clumsy. if notb- ing else, and he had always thought that clumsiness was inexcusable He had a guilty sense that while Beth was still the little lady to her finger tips, born to natural nobility, he, the Grand Duke Peter, had been the boor, the vulgar protetarian
 The look in her eyes had shaned him as the look in his own eyes had sIlamed her She had known what his wooing meant. and it hadn't been what she wanted. The mention of love on lips that kisseS as his had done was plasphemy.
 Yes. He cared what she thought of him-and he vainly cast about for e way in which to justify himself. To make matters worse Beth still beHev- ed that this was the payment he ex- acted for what he had done for her. what he had proposed to do for her. that he measured her favors in terms of value received What else could she think but that? Every hour of his devotion to her music defamed her.
 The situation was intolerable. In the morning he went seeking her at Der home. The house was open No one in Black Rock village locked doors by day or night Beth was not there A neighbor said that she had

man after all She could have done no less, having the information. And now she was coming to offer him the charity of her wealth, to tempt him with ease. luxury and London. He would have none of them
 He picked up the other letter with even more curiosity until he read the postmark, and then his interest be- came intense, for he knew that it was from Jim Coast-Hawk Kennedy. The letter bore the heading, "Antlers Hotel, Colorado Springs"
 Dear Pete,'' he read, through the bad spelling. Here I am back at the Springs at the AnteIrs,' after nice trip down Bisbee way, and out along the J. and A to the mine It's there all right and they're workin' 1t yet to beat the cards with a half a mountain still to be tapped. ain't going into particulars-not in a letter, except to tell you that I got what I went for-nanes, dates and amounts also met the gents our friend sold out to-nice people. Oh, I'm 'A1' with that outfit, old dear. I'm just writing this to show you I'm on the job and that if you've got an eye to business you'd better consider my proposition. I'll make it worth your while. You can help all right. You did me good turn that n1ghC.

But after a while he pick ed the crumpled note up and straight ened it out upon the table, carefully rereading it Its very touch seemed | to soil his fingers, but he studied ii i for a long while, and then folded ii up and put it in his pocket
 It was a very careful game tha; Peter would have to play with Hawk Kennedy. a game that he had no Ek- ing for. But if he expected to sue ceed in protecting Mcclure. he would have to outwit Jim Coast-or Hawk Kennedy, as he now thought of him oy playing game just little deeper l than his own s5s E

But he didn't dare-he couldn't, after what he had said to her. And still she wept over her broken toys-the music-the singing-for they had mattered the most. Very childlike she seemed, very tender and pathetic.
 ''Beth,'' he said at last, touching her fingers gently Nothlng is changed, Beth. It can't be changed, dear. We've got to go on. It means so much toto us both."
 But she paid no attention to the touch of his fingers and turned away, leaving the music at her feet, an act in itself significant.

 She did not look at him, but Peter obeyed her. There was nothing else to do. There was something in the clear depths of her eyes that had daunted him. And he had meant her harm. Had he? He didn't know.
