What the Flapper Misses
b. Helen RolUland

She is a good little pal-down-
right and all that; but she has never
experienced the beatihc sensation Of
being "adored from n distance: OF
seeing a man blush and s:ammer and
tremble ia her presence: OF being
crowned with a halo. and set on q
pedestal-and reverenced
That sort OF thing would make her
laugh scornfully-yet. il was MUCH
more stimulating than being slapped
or the back and called "a good old
scout, I assure you.
She knows what kisses are-Ci ood-
ness. yes.-but she doesn't know
what IL is TO be begged" for a kiss.
Nobody has ever told her that the
sweetest part OF kiss is BEFORE
taking. And she would probably
drop in a dead faint il a man should
get down on his knees and THANK
her for letting him love her
She is quite accustomed 10 wear
ing smart frocks and rushing about
10 dances in motorcars: but she
misses the thrill OF putting on her
first long frock. and doing up
her hair. and going 10 her first
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1922-07-24

There ara foolish moments. when
envy the Flapper.
I envy her her freedom. her short
skirts. her kuickerbockers her bob
bed hair-even her worldly wisdom
and her premature sophistica;ion.
And yet--when I think OF all the
things she MISSES. I'm glad that
my "1apper-days" are safely laid
away in the lavender OF memory.
The FGapper faces life open-eyed
and escapes all its disillusionments-
but she misses all IS illusions.
Lies Christmas tree holds no
surprises for HER,
She misses all the fun and excite
ment Of being pursued. IN the hide
and-seek game OF Love she IS always
'It"-and who wants 10 be 1T" IN
any game all OF the time?
She misses the suspense in the lit
tie drama of hearts-all the thrill OF
lodging. Of being elusive. OF keeping
a man on his tiptoes-all the uncer-
tainty, and hope and doubt and fear
and magic fancies And what IS a
drama without its suspense?
She is so frank-and so obvious,

CHAPTER XIII.
Il was nearly lunch-time the next
day when Miles glance fell upon
tho door-piate OF a room Al the end
OF the hall: a room which had re-
NAMED locked since his arrival and
which he had once heard Carter re-
fer 10 casually as Mr.. Rogers store
ROOM lie had polished that door
plate only Saturday morning. bu;
now there seemed something odd
about its appearance and the de-
,ect!ve bent closer.
The brass about the keyhole was
dulied save where a tiny. tagged
scratch or two glinted and there
wcrc traces upon IL OF a congealed,
greasy substance at sight OF which
Miles drew a quick involuntary
breath.

Of that keyhole, someone who was
too careless or in too great haste TO
remove the evidence of the act.
What could Roger have stored there
which would be Of such interest TO
anybody but himself?
Luncheon was over when the de-
tective heard the telephone ring
again and with a muttered excuse
ne fastened toward the library. bur
the sound Of Rogers voice in reply
arrested him before he reached the
threshold.
Yes? This Is Roger Drake
speaking What is that?" The
receiver fell with a clatter to the
desk but Il was evident that Roger
had retrieved it for in moment his
voice came again. shrill with some
thing very like terror.
Who are you. You must be
mad My brother?" There was
a long pause and then the one
word: "Never!"
IL ended in a strangIing gasp. a
chair creaked heavily and then a
dry. muffled sob reached the listen
er's ears. He peered in cautiously
between the curtains TO behold the
scientist sprawled Imply in chair
his arms outflung across the desk
and his white head pillowed upon
them while the thin shoulders shook
spasmodically.
Carriers querulous summons from
the dining room recalled Miles hur-
riedly. When next he entered the
library he found It empty.
Dusk was settling down and moth
ing untoward had occurred 10
break the brooding stiffness of the
house when all at once a woman's
shrek rang out. The detective rush
I'd from his room and down the
floor below another door was flung
wide in his face and a man dashed
out. almost colliding with him.
Miles halted for an instant. taken
aback by sheer surprise for the
opened door was that OF Rogers

emerged was Andrew, He was with

rolled back and his shirt and collar

Miles became aware that a thin
reedy wall had succeeded the shrek
and shaking off the spell which had
/ held him transhxed he fastened
down the hall
At the head Of the main staircase
the maid was kneeling before a re-
c-nbent form wringing her hands

WHY BONDS GO DOWN.

Many people are puzzled by the drop
in the value of government bonds, after
all the outstanding issues had risen to
par or higher There is no particular
mystery about it, The governments
credit is still good, but the government
is very short of cash, and from all in
dications is destined to continue short
for some time to come. That situation
is naturally reflected in the market price
of government securities.
Secretary Mellon stated the basic
facts early last month, in connection
with the fotafion of the four and a quar-
ter per cent refunding issue. Including
that issue, there were altogether Victory
notes. treasury tax certificates and war
savings certificates aggregating about
So, 400,0 100000 maturing before June 80,
1923. the end of the present fiscal year.
All of those obligations must be either
paid or refunded That throws the gov
eminent into the market for vast sums
of cash and credit, because there is no
cash in the treasury to pay the maturing
debts, and accordingly lower the price
obtainable for government securities,
old and new.
