CHAPTER xxxvIIl.

When Mr. Turnbull sent Hunter
Worden to investigate Ruth Brown
ing he only followed a rule of the
firm that before employees were given
a position of responsibility they were
investigated. Their home life was
looked into. their reliability probed
as far as could be.
When Worden brought his report
Mr. Turnbull clever judge of human
nature, had easily read between the
lines. He visnalized the family who,
for various reasons. were an Atlas
weight on Ruth's shoulders. 1t ex-
planned her shabby attire, and at the
same time disclosed her self-denial.
Then when Worden fell in love
with Betty. when Ruth's little ro-
nance died. he found out from clever
questioning of Ruth herself that
Worden had no idea of their real
situation; that their pride would not
allow her to tell him they could not
afford an outfit for his bride. That
explained why Ruth with her in
creased salary stil was of neat
shabbiness out of place in the po-
sition she was to occupy.
But now that she had returned to
take charge he noted that she was
suitably dressed. A plain black dress
of good material and cut, dainty coll
lars and cuffs, gave her the presence
necessary. Had he known that the
dress. represented hours of lost sleep,
that after sewing Off Betty all day,
Ruth had sat up half the night so
that she might make the appearance
she knew to be necessary in her new
position, he would have wondered
less at the dark circles under her
eyes, her paleness.
Il am afraid your vacation did not
do much good" he said to her. You
do not look rested"
"A wedding in the family isn't con-
ducive TO rest" she returned brightly
little twinge bringing her own feel
ing for Worden before her for mo-
ment.
II know. Worden is a good fellow.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair
in good condition, be careful what
you wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkan. This
cries the scalp. Makes tho hair
brittle, ana is very harmful. Null
sified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and entirely
greaseless). is much better than
anything lese you can use for
shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply put two or three tea
spoonfuis of Mulsified in a cup or
glass with a little warm water,
then noisten your hair with water
and rub it in. 1t will make an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
and cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out
easily, and removes every particle
Of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess
oil. TIE hair dries quickly and
evenly. and it leaves 1t fine and
silky. bright. fluffy and easy TO
manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any drug store. It
is very cheap, and few ounces
is enough to last everyone In the
family for months. Be sure your
druggist gives you Mulsified.

GALSWORTHY OVER-ESTIMATES

THERE is no doubt that art, music, lit.
L erature and the drama have a civilizinp
influence, but few persons will agree wifi
the statement by John Galsworthy, n dis
tinguished British novelist and dramatist, in
recent address in London that in bring.
ing nations together the influence of ort
literature and drama cannot be over. esti.
mated"
So far Is this from being true that there
is nothing easier than to over estimate tho
influence upon international relations of art,
literature and the rest. German literature
has been read in London for n century md
German plays have been acted In the Lon
don theatres, and the Germans have admired
Shakespeare so much as to claim him for
German. Yet Germany and Great Britain
went to war.
1t would be interesting to know how
many centuries Mr. Gaisworthy thinks mn
ti0ns would have to study the literature NJ
one another in order to make war between
them impossible.
AS a matter of fact, war between nations
arises from conflict of interest, lust as
war between individuals arises from the
same cause. Brothers brought up In the
same household have been known to engage
IN bitter fights over the disposition of the
property Of their father. ......
II we nre to end strife among nations as
well as among individuals, we must set about
increasing their spiritual illumination rather
than broadening their intellectual outlook.
