Hearts of T,Do
CHAPTER 1eO


 MARIAN HORTON had finished VH her first two weeks engagement
 with Jack Roscoe. She hoped that her employer was satisileo Witn her performance. He had told her tnat it suited him. For while she could keep on with the gypsy dance. Later she could get other costumes TOT otner dances. This must mean that ne ex- pected to retain her. She was reLieveo, vel she felt A reluctance to sign con- tract that would bind her for month. So when he suggested this she inform ed him that she would prefer engaging with him by the week.
 "Is that the arrangement you made with NJ. DeLisleT Roscoe asked.
 "I was engaged by him to dancej for A certain amount a week, but there was no time clause" she replied.
 She felt the color creep into her cheeks as she remembered how her en- rarement with the Frenchman had ter minated. Fortunately she had been maid up to the night before the raid an tM restaurant. She had never gone back for her money for that last eye ning's performance, nor for her Co- | lumbine costume.
 Roscoe's was different type. of nlace from DeLisle's. She recognized tbis. The patrons who came to eat, dance and look on were of another class than the habitues of the Fairtown resort.
 Handsomely gowned women and girls and well-groomed men patronized Ros- coe's.
 Twice during the first week of her engaRemen Frederic Parker had been m the cabaret. The first time he came | with a woman older than himself. Ma. rian purposely avoided his eye. She wondered if his companion were Mrs. Crosby. She also wondered if she knew that the little dancer was the girl she had invited to dine at her house on Thanksgiving Day.
 The second time he came he was alone. She noticed that he had notebook and seemed to be sketching in it.
 She told herself that he was here | only. to add something to the study or dances and dancers he was making, that it was not to see her. She In. sisted to herself that she was correct l in this surnise. She must not fancy that this man felt particular interest I in her. She must not feel a particular interest in him.
 | So it was with a start of surprise that she SAW him standing by the dool leading from the rear of the restaurant the door through which she must past to go to her dressing room. A wavt of pleasure swept over her as he cant forward and spoke to her.
 "If you are not too tired" he said Twill you dance the next walt witl me? Oh," seeing her hesitate, "is I not so nominated in the bond? I meaI I-are you not supposed to dance witl any of the patr0ns?"

CHAPTER 4
 Y UCILE'S young friends were chil-
 dren of parents who before our
 trouble had been in about the same circumstances as ourselves, had lived as we did, but who now had more than we could give her. Yet it seem- ed to make no difference to them, in their resire for her society, and for this I was grateful. But she had made new friends, too, boys, young men returned from the war with all the glamour still clinging to them. These returned sol diers were avid for good times, for dancing, etc, and, naturally enough, perhaps, so keen upon getting all the pleasure they could they were not care ful enough in protecting the girls thrown with them. They laughed at prohibit ton, carried flasks in their pockets, and frequently urged the girls to drink

bering the hard thumps the Thingum had given him before had borrowed a barrel and was wearing this around his waist. On top of his head he had an iron pot with two holes cut in it so that he could look out of it.
 Dressed this way, the Zumzee was so well protected there was no place the Thingum could thump him now.
 Of course the Thingum with his new silver sword could whack at the barrel and at the iron pot; but this would only dull his sword.
 Aha !' the Zumzee cried when he saw that Captain Thingum' did not know what to do, Il just guess you can't thump me any more! And now I shall push you all from the porch and take Mrs. Mingles nice cunning little cottage for my very ownw And the Zumzee began pushing our friends right off the porch.

BAFFLED BY TRAFFIC
Gondon's Only Real Relief Can Come
 With CitY Planning Writer Says

london's Only Real Relief Can Come
 With City Planning, Writer Says
 The London traffic bill, the report stage of which was continued recently in the House of Commons, deals with a question in which some millions of peo- pie besides the inhabitants of the capital are directly concerned. Every day fresh swarms of visitors from the dominions, foreign countries and the provinces pour into it's narrow and congested streets. Every year they find the volume of traffic growing larger and more un- wieldy and the blocks more frequent and prolonged. To them, perhaps, until custom has stalled the infinite variety of the crowded streets, a block in Picca- dilly or in front of the Mansion house may appear tolerable and even amusing, as one of the characteristic sights of the town.
 But the heart of the true Londoner knoweth its own bitterness. In the course of the ages he has created a monster which he cannot control. The very number of the vehicles which cater for his patronage when he is on pleas ure or business bent defeats the ob- ject which they are meant to serve, and instead of helping, delays him, by a series of interminable and exasperating hindrances, in reaching his desired goal. Narrow as most of the streets are, they are constantly still further cOnraced by the various public bodies that have at present the right to dig them up, when and where they will.
 For these and other reasons, not only is it often impossible to move freely along them, but they can only be crossed with difficulty and at considerable risk. The object of the bill, a legacy from their predecessors adopted by the pres ent government as their own, is to make some effort to diminish the dangers and the loss of time and money and temper caused by the various inconveniences of this overgrown traffic. Pending the in troduction of an extensive and ex- tremely costly system of tOwn-planning, it is meant to be, and can only be, a temporary and partial measure of relief. London Times

Mingle against Mir. Mingle and MT. NIingle against Captain, Thingum, so they all fell from the porch down to the ground just like row of dominoes.
 Then the Zumzee laughed real loud and it sounded very queer with his head covered over with the iron pot.
 Now the house is mine Y the Zumzee cried, "and I just guess after this you will n0t come around here at all!"
 But the Zumzee did not think of the wonderful magical charm which MT. Mingle owned and when the Zumzee laughed with his head inside the iron pot he did not know what MT. Mingle was holding the magic charm and mak- ing a wish.
 But in very short time the Zum- zee knew that something magical was happening, for hardly had Mir. Mingle made his wish than there was a loud popping and cracking inside the barrel

The WeU-Dressed Man
 By BEAUNASH Corree. Clothes To Meet The Obligation Of Every Occasion
Swimming Belts And Caps


 WTHEN swimming was a custom, in- w stead of an accomplishment, the
 spIashes and toe-wetters among ns deliehted to assume the devil-may- care ruggedness of the life guard. We bared our faces, arms and shoulders to the blistering sun, browning like a Malay or crimsoning ourselves like Sierra Nevada sunset. Nowadays we refrain from this sort of thing. 1t has painful consequences. While swimming suits are cut lower in the armholes and higher in the trunks for comfort, robes, knitted jackets. and canvas shoes or sandals are commonly worn for pro- tection.
 One of the picturesque styles this season for the swimnieR is the brilliant ly striped waterproof belt shown in the sketch. This takes the place of the regulation white canvas belt and often matches the colors of the broad-striped swimming shirt now in the heyday of its vogue. An advantage of this belt is that it is more elastic than canvas, quite aside from. it's bold color so ap- pealing to youngsters and young old sters.
 If you swim like a seal and dive like dolphin, a skull cap of thin rubber or transparent rubberized silk is almost indispensable sto break the impact of the plunge. There. are. various con. trivances to keep water out of ones ears, but the skull cap cannot be out done for that purpose. It is illustrated here, gayly striped around the edge and provided with a chin-strap like the helmet of the polo player.
 While fashion favors bright colors iD swimming shirts--contrasting horizon tai bars across the chest---the trunks are always plain gray or blue flannel, worsted or knitted jersey cloth. Nat urally, so extreme and noticeable q style as the boldly striped shirt should

the Zumzee wore around his waist and as the Zumzee hoped up and down and howled smoke came from the barrel and from the iron pot.
 "Wow!' the Zumzee howled as he hopped from the porch and tore the iron pot from his head and the barrel from around his waist. "I stan't wear the barrel and the pot with a lot of fire crackers shooting off inside" And with his clothes smoking the Zumzee dashed through the bushes toward the brook. And as he went he could hear Captain Thingum and Mir. Mingle laughing at the funny sight. And while the Zum- zee sat in the brook and cooled off our friends sat upon Mrs., Mingle's front porch and ate Jolly pop sandwiches, lie orice candy, cream puffs and assorted candy covered with cookies. for all the excitement made them very hungry in deed.

Mort chafed under the long evenings with nothing to do. He was not a great reader and he visited his clubs seldom because of lack of funds to do as he always had, but he kept up his dues. When I said it seemed foolish now that he had so little use of.the clubs he reminded me that some time they would be useful to him.

Struthers Burt in the Saturday
Evening Post. But on the other
hand, If YOU have ridden one horse

and he knows all yours, and II you
have ridden many lonely and some
times dark miles with him, after q
while you begin to cherish an affec-
tion for him against your better
sense.
There's a sweet, warm. c0mpan-
ionable feeling to the ripping mus
cies of his neck when you put your

though not quite so much company
as you get out of dog In camp.
And as for Joe, If you miss the
trail in the dark and try to turn

LAWS AGAINST
LIQUOR PASSED
So YEARS AGO

Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. 15.-The far
sightedness of Florida's legislators
of the nineteenth century is disclos-
ed in an old law unearthed in the
achives of the state capitol here. It
is an act which became effective in
January, 1855, and provided heavy
penalties for employees of railroads
found guilty of being intoxicated
while in the performance of their
duty.
At the time of its enactment there
were NO railroads in Florida. The
act, however, imposed upon the gen.
eral assembly the duty of ascertain
ing the proper objects of improve
.ments in relation to railroads, canals,
and navigable streams; and indicates
the presentiment the lawmakers must
have had that Liquor and locomotive
combined would not make for public
safety.
