Advice To The
 LOvelOrn
Who Occupies a Unique Position In the Writing World As An Author ity On the Problems of Girls
 Barring Her Friends
By Beatrice Fairfax.

Everything do works out wrong,' writes George. "I seem to play in the worst luck of any one you can imagine. I have lots of imagination and really good ideas, but they don't come to anything. I see a lot of stupid p1odders getting ahead of me and I can't see why don't accomplish something if they can.
 Folks are always offering me a lot of advice and everyone seems to think he could tell me just what to do. But think a fellow has to make his own decisions if he's any kind of man. Don't you agree with me? And can you see why a man of thirty with plenty of ability should be dub ping along at twenty-five week when he knows he's fitted for bigger things. I've plenty of looks, good manners, a worthwhile mind and yet I'm losing all faith in myself How do you diagnose me %
 I have an idea, George, that if you had enough faith in yourself you wouldn't be afraid to listen to other folks opinions and to consider their advice.
 You seem to be one of those men who swell out their chests and dis cuss their equipment for success in a lOuu tone lacSeIy because they really don't believe in themselves If you have any respec- for your own judgment. why should you be afraid of suIbjecting it to the test of meet ing and dealing with the viewp joints of others?
 Few of us are so well equipped for the battle of life than we can afford to overlook a chance to get a later model of armor or a new way of meeting the enemy. Most of us need contact with other minds and the give and take of opinion. Don't be afraid of listening to ad- vice Don't think it beneath you to consider it seriously when it is of fered. Recognize the value Of an- other mans experience and reactions to life.
 None of us can -~make good" ex- cept through his own ability But all of us have a great deal to gain from the opp ortunitfes our friends can throw on our way.
 No amount of imagination is as important as the judgment which knows what to do with imagination. ou must harness your ideas and see that they have a practical relation to affairs. You must keep abreast of the times and their needs.
 Perhaps there is none of us who need fail if only he learns how to his equipment to advantage. The man who ends in the gutter may have haG every requisite Tor success, but strength of character and the power to rise above disappointment.
 Our contacts with others bring us more than We know. The ideas of CtEers offer us real stimulation But after we have digested all we can learn from books and folks and life, we have to react to situations in our own way.
 I believe that if a man will observe earnestly, listen respectfully, worh hard and keep faith in and with him. self he is bound to succeed. Bu= no man gifted with imagination need fail if he can learn to harness his ideas to fact and to preserve his sane respect for his own tudgna ent-while giving the ideas of others a fair hearing.

CHAPTER XIX. Yakimov Reveals Himself.

It was with some rnisgivingS that Peter left his cabin, leaving Hawk Kennedey there to sleep off the effects of his potations, but the situation at the lumber camp was so hazardou this his presence was urgently re- quired. Hawk had awakened early, very early. and very thirsty, but Peter whisky and threatened to throw the whole affair off he didn't sober up and behave himself. And so having eXacted a promise from Hawk Ken nedy to leave the caoin when he had had his sleep out, Peter had gotten the 'flivver' from McGuire's garage (as was his custom) and driven rap idly down toward the camp.
 He had almost reached the conclu- sion that the copy of the partnership agreement which Hawk had held as a threat over Mcclure had ceased to exist-that it had been lost, effaced or destroyed. But he wanted to be more certain of this before he came out into the open. showed his hand and McGuire's and defied the black mailer to do his worst. He felt pretty sure now from his own knowledge of the man that. desperate though he was in his intention to gain a fortune by this expedient, he was absolutely powerless to do evil without the sig nature of McGuire. The question as to whether or not he would make a disagreeable publicity of the whole affair was important to McGuire and had to be avoided. if possible, for Peter had given his promise to bring the affair to a quiet conclusion
 Until he could have a further talk with McGuire. he meant to lead Hawk Kennedy on to further condolences, and with this Ieed in view and with the further purpose of getting him away from the cabin, had promised to meet him late that afternoon at a fork of the road to the lumber camp. the other prong of which led to a set clement of several shantiees where Hawk had managed to get a lodging on the previous night and on several other occasions.

When 4 Girl Mnrries

came back-the houses along our lane are most Of 'em closed and shuttered Glad your will be open again.
 I'm glad to be home again." Tony grimly replied. Goodnight, MT. Hoadley."
 I realized that the social-climber hidden under the downright brute in Max Hoadley's nature had asserted itself. Tony had answered this. He had recognized and denied it in the same moment. So much he could do. But he could not by the slightest in donation acknowledge that there was any need to deal with Max Hoadley on my account unless I asked it. And I felt certain I could never bring | myself to ask.
 Then in quick. flickering move ments the next few seconds scurrfed across my tired vision. I saw Tony m owe away from the doorway as Max Hoadley sWa ggered toward it. passed into the dark hall and then flung himself around again with the cat like agility some heavy men possess.
 q wonder if you'd step outside a moment, Mrs. Harrison," he flung out hoarsely. There's one detail we didn't settle. I'd be grateful for a chance to have a word alone with you.''
 For barely a second I hesitated. Then, even as I realized that with Tony near I hadn't a particle of emotion where Max Hoadley is con- cerned, Tony spoke in his low, com manding tones:
 There's an inncer office, isn't 4I there while you finish your business Anne. And if you don't mind I'd like a light to blaze my trail across the unfamiliar wastes of this place.
 knew he was putting it slowly to give me time to adjust myself to the shock of white light in my dark office. I knew also that he thought it best for me to conclude my inter view" in a business-like glare rather than in the soft intimacy of twi1ig ght. Putting out my hand I switched on the electricity. Then I caught the barricading chair back again and waited while Tony went into the in- ner office and closed the door after him, with never a backward glance.
 "I'd give half I've got to do this last hour over again and do it diff ferent,'' Max Hoadley burst out, five lO way lO tell yOu HOW SOITy 1 dIl. And ashamed-so help me, I didn't know I could feel so closely related to a snake!''
 I didn't answer. Indeed there was nothing for me to say.
 T don't suppose you can ever for give me-" he hesitated. "Or forget the way I showed myself up for a crazy brute. But I want to tell you that no mater how you despise me I know you're one hundred per cent in every way. So if the business woman will just go on carrying my account. please I-Pd hate to see a new concern-a going concern lose a paying account-because I'm a skunk"
 "you can't imagine I'll go on," I crfed, unabL to hide my repulsion.
 'I can think SSu!u want to see me for awhile. I'll not bother yoS:. I'll not even try to speak to you lover the wire. But this is-a going concern. It oughtn't to throw good business overboard.''
 There was something significant in Max HoadIey's tone.

IMAGINATION AND HEALTH

Last week when we were talking about the value of auto-suggestion we said that the imagination was stronger than the will, and that mar vellous cures had been performed by making people imagine them selves well.
 The Coue system is to have the patient repeat this formula: Every day in every way I am getting better and better" It doesn't matter wheth- CT you believe this or not. You must repeat it 20 times on waking in the morning. 20 times after you get in bed at night. Coue suggests that you have a little string or ribbon with 20 knots in it and say this formula, once for every knot. This is a sort of Rosary of Health, but the idea is simply to help you repeat the formula the proper number of times.
 As I said it does not matter wheth- CT you believe this or not, you say it 40 times every day, and you say it when your mind is apt to be relaxed and sleepy. The idea will gradually go from your conscious to your suHb- conscious mind and the imagination will take hold and begin it's good work. I know that people will scof at this and many of my readers will probably write and tell me this is all
 
 ly harmless.
 Yet the fact that it is not nonsense is proved by the number of people. Coue has cured and the innum erable others who have been made better by this method of imagining themselves improved Coue's cures are per- formed by influencing directly the imagination or the subconscious mind of the people who come to him, and therein of course lies his marvellous power

ex-waiter he learned that on his pre- vious visits the man had made a careful survey of the property and knew his way about almost as we'll as Peter did. It appeared that he also knew something of Peters prob lens of the lumber camp and the diff faculties the superintendent had a1- ready encountered in getting his saw ed lumber to the railroad and in com pleting his fire towers. Indeed. these difficulties seemed only to have be- gun again. and it was with great regret that Peter was obliged to forgo the opportunity of seeing Beth that day, perhaps even that evening. But he had told her nothing of his trou- bles the night before, not wishing to cloud @ day so fair for them both.
 The facts were these: Flynn and Jacobi, the men he had dismissed, l, had appeared again at the camp in his absence. bent on fomenting trou- ble. and Shad Wells, already indamed against the superintende had fallen an easy prey to their machinations. Accidents were always happening at ehe sawmihs, accidents to machinery and implements eliminating at last in the blowing out of a tube of one of the boilers. It was this miSfor- tune that had held the work up for several days until a spare boiler could be installed. Peter tried to find out how these accidents had hap pened, but each line of investigation led up a blind alley. Jesse Brown, his foreman. seemed to be loyal, but he was easy-going and weak. With many of his own friends among the workers both at the camp and mills he tried to hold his job by carrying water on both shoulders and the con- sequences were inevitable.
 He moved along the line of least resistance and the trouble grew. Peter saw his weakness and would have picked another man to supersede him, but there was no other aavilable. The truth was that though the mems wages were high for the kind of work they were doing, the discomfort that they had brought with them was in the air. The evening papers brought word of trou;se in every di- rection, the threatened railroad and steel strikes and the prospect of a coaliess winter when the miners went out as they threatened to do on the 1st of November

SAVED SHOPPERS FROM BEES
Potent Magic Exercised by California
Constable Earned Him Vote of
Thanks From Women.

We have all heard Of the snake
charmer, but a bee charmer is the
latest.
To Constable AL La Cunha of Hay
ward, Cal, goes the medal. Alone
and unaided, La Cunha rounded up a
swarm of angry bees and conquered
them without a single sting.
The bees in question, having out
grown their dwelling of ten years
over the shop Of Edward S. Warren,
swarmed toward the courtroom OF
Judge Jacob Harder, Jr., through
streets filled with women shoppers.
La Cunha witnessed the flight of
the bees and then his magic became
apparent.
He beat a tattoo with a stick upon
a tin can and the bees became
charmed" They ceased their flight
and settled IN a nearby tree.
The shoppers hearing of his daring,
gave the constable a vote of thanks.

SORRY SHE DIDN'T LIKE IT
But Anyway, That Particular Hat
Wasn't for Sale, and 1t Made
Little Difference.

In and out Of department stores and
millinery shops went the Woman and
her friend, trying on hats trimmed
with rObbOn, hats smothered in feath-
ers and hats where bloomed flowers
that never were on sea or land. The
WOman's friend was as hard to suit
as the little girl in the "Three Bears"
They were all ''too" something. The
Woman was growing weary, and spy
ing an attractive black hat with some
spidery white feathers in a heap be-
fore another fussy shopper, she point
ed it out to her friend.
"Try to get a chance at that I'M
usual hat. 1t has a great deal Of dis
%tinction," she whispered.
The friend sided up to the show
case, and when the fussy shopper was
trying or a yellow-flowered creation,
she seized the hat and viewed the eff
feet in the glass, exclaiming: ugh! I
don't like this one a little bit"
"Excuss me, madam" icily said the
fussy shopper, shat is my own hat I
bought in Kenosha. Sorry you don't
admire it."-Chicago Journal.
