ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN

livery young girl who is eager
to be liked by both girls and
boys and to enjoy the good times
of youth, without cheapening her
self or sacrificing principle, will
be interested in the story of how
one girl succeeds in winning hap
piness, fine friendships and pop
ularity, as told by herself simply
and unaffectedly. in the following
letter:
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

crowd. They neck and pet I'M

They talk-girls as we'll as boys
about the keen time they had

I'm no angel but l absolutely
detest petting with a man who
means nothing to me. Girls say
when ] ask them how they can
do it, 1 just do it to be sociable.
Il am sixteen and in high
school. l have for my dear
friend the best boy in the world.
Girls who allow promiscuous
petting ask me. How did you

I'm no raving beauty and |

II didn't get ]. c. at all. But

dancer and play the ukulele and
piano.
ANY girl who wants to be
popular can be. by dressing at

thing withdrawing for instance
but not by petting.
MY mother and dad. like good
American parents. talk to me very
clearly about such things. They
say. DO not cheaper yourself by
petting. It's dangerous!

He dropped down, his heart
choking him as he stumbled
through the darkness to the edge
of the raft. There, with the lap
of the water at his feet, he
paused. 1t was hard for him to
get breath. He stared through
the gloom in the direction of the
bateau. Marie Anne ! lain, the
woman he loved, was there In
her little cabin, alone, on the
bateau, was ST. Pierre's wife. her
heart crushed.
And in this cabin on the raft,
forgetful of her degradation and
her grief, was the vilest wretch
he had ever known-St. Pierre
Boulain. And with him, giving
herself into his arms, caressing
him with her lips and hair
was the sister of the man he had
helped to hang-Carmln Fancheti
The shock of the amazing dis.
covery which Carrigan had made
was as complete as it was unex.
pected. His eyes had looked
upon the last thing in the world
he might have guessed at or
anticipated when they beheld
through the window Of St Pierre's
cabin the beautiful face and
partly disrobed figure of Car
min Fanchet.
The first effect of that shock
had been to drive him away. His
action had been involuntary, al
most without the benefit of rea-
son. as If Carnin had been Marie
Anne herself receiving the ca
resses which were rightfully hers.
and upon which it was both in
suit and dishonor for him to
spy. He realized now that he
had made a mistake in leaving
the window too quickly.
But he did not move back
through the gloom. for there was
something too revolving in what
he had seen. and with the re-
vulsion Of it swift under

his hands clench as he sat down

DAVID was glad the curtain was
~ drawn so low. From expert
ments of bis own he knew there was
small chance of those inside seeing
him through the two-inch slit, and
he raised himself bodily until his
eyes were on a level with the
aperture.
Directly in the line Of his vision
was st. Pierre's wife. She was
seated. and her back was toward
him. so he could not see her face
She was partly disrobed. and her
hair was streaming loose about
her. Once. he remembered. she
had spoken OF fiery lights that

illumination. He had seen them

vealed themselves now in that
cabin lamp glow.
Her Growing Glory
He scarcely looked at St Pierre
who was on his feet, looking down
upon her-not until st. Pierre
reached out and crumpled the
smothering mass of growing
tresses in his big hands, and
laughed. 1t was a laugh filled
with the unutterable joy Of pos
session. The woman rose to her
feet. Up through her hair went

giant drew her close. Her slim
form seemed to melt in his. and

and ont in the night Carrigan
stifled a cry that almost broke
from his lips. For a flash he
was looking straight into her
eyes. Her parted lips seemed
smiling at him: her white throat
and bosom were barred to him.

that she was not the only one OF
her sex who would know OF to-
morrow's fight. He had not
noticed the significance of 1t then.
But now 1t struck home. Marie
Anne was surely aware OF Car
min Fanchet's presence on the
raft.
But did she know more than
that? Did she know the truth,
or was her heart filled only with
suspicion and fear, aggravated by
st. Pierre's neglect and his too
apparent haste to return to the
raft that night? Again David's
mind flashed back, recalling her
defense of Carmin Fanchet when
he had first told her his story
OF the woman whose brother he
had brought to the hangman's
justice. There could be but one
conclusion. Marie-Anne knew
The Washington times., 1926-10-23

Carmin Fanchet, and she also
knew she was on the raft with
St. Pierre.
AS cooler judgment returned to
him, Carrigan refused to concede
more than that. For any one of
a dozen reasons Carmin Fanchet
might be on the raft going down
the river, and it was also quite
within reason that Marie-Anne
might have some apprehension of
a woman rs beautiful as Carmin
and possibly intuition had begun
to impinge upon her a disturbing
fear of a something that might
happen. But until tonight he was
confident she had overridden it.
even though she knew woman
more beautiful than herself was

She had betrayed no anxiety to

in this instance it filled him with
a sickening sort OF horror which
gripped him at first even more
than the strangeness of the fact
that Carmin Fanchet was the
other woman. His vision and
his soul were reaching out to
the bateau lying in darkness
on the far side of the river
where St. Pierre's wife was alone
in her unhappiness.

himself in the river and race to
