Quicksands of Love
 Adele Garrison's New Phase of
 -Repelotions Of q Wife

The deep sigh he drew told me that he was gricved at my answer. even though I also knew that he was not surprised at it. The seconds which l mentally counted off before he answered were like hours to me. Then he put another searching question.
 If I had asked you that question a year ago, would you have given the same answer?"
 "Ah! I feared so.'
 ''No, I would not" returned promptly, with a panicky little won- der as to where this catechism would end.
 Then, forgive me for asking, Is this-lessening of your happiness due to change in your husbands attitude or your own?"
 The question was like a search light turned into the secret recesses of my heart. into which I myself had not dared to look. While minutes slipped into eternity I sat motionless W lillb lily "IlOiS lllt NIlli ny uuo- band revolved in kaleidoscopic mem- ory before me. Then I answered my fathers question with more honesty that I would have given 10 heart searching query of my own at any previous time.
 ITO both, am afraid, father, dear"
 Again I heard his disappointed sigh followed by a low solloquizing murmer. "Ah! feared sol" Then he put the question for which his previous reference to Hugh Grant land had prepared me:
 Has jealousy of Hugh anything to do with Richards cavalier treat ment of you?"
 "No; l do not think so," I an- swered, voicing my honest belief.
 Are you sure of that?" my fath- CT countered quickly. You surely must know that Hugh has loved you hopelessly for years. Might not Richard have guessed that you re- turn that love-"

RAILROADS REPORTS
 ARE MOST OPTIMISTIC
First Six Months of Year Show Greater Business Than Ever
 Before.

Washington, Oct. IS P1Rail- roads of the United States handled during the first six months of 1926 the greatest freight traffic on record for any corresponding period with the smallest number of claims for loss and damage to shipments while in transit for any similar periods, according to reports filed today with the freight claim division of the American Railway Association.
 Loss and damage claims paid by the railroads during the first six months of 1926 totalled s19,0S4, 4,004, decrease of s1,264.564, or reduc. tion of 6.2 per cent from the amount paid in the first six months of 1925.

 A continuous reduction since 1920 In loss and damage to freight has been annually by the roads, the re- port said. This Is due, it continued, to the cooperation of the roads and of shippers and receivers of freight.

 Sheer Black Net or
Chiffon

Black is the smartest color note in both the day and evening mode. Alone, or combined with bits or brilliant embroidery or scattered motifs of rhinestones, 1t is the choice of well-dressed women for both for nal and informal functions It is particularly appealing when the material Is some sheer, soft fabric such as net. chiffon or lace.
 The smart dinner gown sketched today Is black dotted net combined with flesh-colored chiffon, this lat- ter material being used in the up- per portion of the bodice. It Is a lovely bouffant model with a slim. molded bodice and a full skirt made Of two gathered flowers. At nor- nal waist limo is wide girdle trim- med with silver spangles and bugles, and in the back is a piquant bow of jade ribbon.
 Leading Paris designers, notably Chanel. Patou and Lanvin. feature black chiffon dance frocks remark able for the airy grace of their sil- houettes and for their absolute lack of trimming. The skirts are tiered. circular and finished with godets at one side; the bodice sections have jabots, capes or flying scarf ends to create the desired floating line.
 A new silhouette-slim above the st and 1aring below the hips is feature of this black dotted net dinner gown.

child, Here's your aspirin-you must take it."
 To Honey Lou's surprise, Grum- py took the medicine without a murmur, and it came to her that Jack Wallack had good reason to call his mother The Head. It was clear that she governed Grumpy with aI iron hand-an iron hand glovcd in velvet.
 T had quite a time with Ann Ludlow this morning." Honey Lou said to Jacks father when they were alone once more, She seems 10 think that I came to you to ask for her job. I feel pretty unhappy about it." She looked out wist- fully at the garden that lay below her.
 There was stone seat there, almost hidden by shrubs. She won- 1 dcred, with a sharp little pang of pair, whether Jack ever sat there with Angela Allen at night when there was a moon-or even when lAere WdSn q moon. "Hmm-Don't pay any attention 10 women. Don't bother your head about 'em, or you'll go crazy" Grumpy said, tearing up a letter viciously Ann Ludlow knows you didn't ask for her job--she knows it just as well as you do."
 He glanced up at her with his sharp little eyes that were like points of light in his leathery face.
 Take a letter." he said, and went on without pause, "Bing- ham and Bingham-you know their address,"
 Honey Lou knew the address, and she wrote it, and waited for him to go on.
 But instead of dictating, he sud- denly asked her a question.
 Honey Lou" he said, waving a finger at her. Whats been goin' on between you and my boy, Jack?"
 Honey Lou's hand went to her throat She could feel her heart beating there like a tiny hammer.
 "Why-what do you mean?" she faltcrcd.
 You know what I mean" Grum- py ranped out, Whats this I hear about you and Jack running around together?"

Madge's Father Questions II About Hugh's Love

hdugeS tdJnef questions her About Hugh's Love
 My father kissed the hand I had put against his lips to silence his remorseful reference to the sin against my mother and me, which he never allowed himself to forget. I knew that the remembrance Of it had saddened all his years, and my heart ached with compassion for him as he took my hand away, keeping it tenderly clasped in his own. as he answered my protest.
 Always the best of daughters" he said fondly. You make it very easy for mo to say what is in my heart, what I never have mention cd to you before. what I should not say now-eXcept that T."
 He broke off abruptly, and I won dered miserably what was the rest of that unfinished sentence. A se- quance Of words flashed themselves into my brain.
 "I may never have the opportuni- ty again" Were those the words he would not utter? The possibility dulled my perceptions so that at first did not comprehend. although I heard, the startling question he asked me.
 But after few dazed seconds I awakened to the echo of that ques- tion still trembling in the air:
 Are you happy with Richard, Margaret"
 Madge sheds all pretence
 The conjunction of this question with the one l had parried but few minutes before was too significant for me to miss. In almost the same breath as his query concerning my happiness with my husband, my father had asked me just how glad I would be to see Hugh Grantland. It was with a throat so constricted by excitement as to be almost in- capable of speech that finally gave my halting answer.
 Honestly, father, I do not know I suppose I am as happy as the aver age wife"

 Now Danny didn't feel like fight ing. He tried to be polite. I'm a stranger" said he mildly in that squeaky little voice Of his. I'm q stranger trying to get across this meadow"
 Strangers are not wanted here" squeaked the stranger. You can't cross it on one of my paths, and this is my path. I cut 1t myself"
 All right" replied Danny meekly, If you don't want me to use your path I'll cut one of my own"
 You'll do nothing of the kind" rctortod the stranger. You'll turn around and get back off this mea- dow as fast as your legs can take you, or I'll know the reason why"
 II was now Danny's turn to lose his temper. Al right. you'll know the reason why" he sQucaked and showed all his sharp teeth.
 Now the stranger may have been something of bully. but he was no coward. He jumped at Danny, and Danny met him half way. Then be- gan a rough and tumble fight. My, my. 1t was dreadful to sec such n loss of tempors, They rolled over and over in the grass. and they used their teeth anI claws, and they fought and fought until they couldn't fight any more. They had 10 stop and rest. The stranger was lust as big and just as strong as Danny. Danny was just as good fighter as the stranger, So, Of coureo. neither one won the fight. When at last they stopped fighting, each looked at the other and grim ned. Lets be friends" said the stranger. "T guess there's room enough on this meadow for you as well as for me"
 "Tranks." replied Danny "Ill stay q day or two if you don't mind"
 The stranger opened his mouth to say something but instead gave a squcal of fright and took 10 his heels.

 Danny Meadow Mouse, having come to q big meadow which re- minded him very much of his own beloved Green Meadows, started to run along a little path cut through the grass. He was quite well aware that that path had been cut by a Meadow Mouse. It was just like one of his own little paths. And Danny knew, too. that he had no business on that little path. He knew just what would haev happened had he met q stranger running along one of his little paths. But Danny was trusting to luck that he would not meet the owner of that little path.

Destroying Own Markets
fp,rhlir al porl

Anthracite has been destroying its
markets for ten years. Strikes,
suspensions and high prices have
done their dangerous work. There is
a limit to the consumers patience
and to the prices he will pay. When
that limit is reached. he hunts Tor
substitutes and finds them.
This is not about to happen. IT
has happened. The trend has been
faster and faster for five years. In
the past autumn it speeded UP enor-
mously. There are villages where
half the homes are now oilheated'
There are city blocks where six
homes in ten have, quit anthracite for
good. Hundreds of dealers realize
mi-anthracite has come into the
old anthracite markets to stay.
The trend will be even faster in
the future. Yesterday the wavering
householder made up his mind. BY
tens of thousands in the past he has
put in his winter fuel during April.
May and June. This year he will not
worry. Oil may or not be the perfect
fuel, but the supply is not interrupt
ed by wage rows, suspensions,
strikes, deadlocks, button strikes"
and a perennial quarrel that goes on
and on.
The time for worrying over the
possible 40,000,0 900 would-be hardcoal
users of last September has gone by.
They refuse to freeze to death while
there are oil, coke, gas, electricity or
soft coal left in the world. An insane
industry has forced them to look
after themselves. That, exactly. is
what they have done, are doing and
will do in the future. They are writ
ing the death warrant of the in
dustry In New England and up and
down the Atlantic seaboard.
The situation is dwindling until 1t
vitality concerns only the operator,
the miner and the hard coal country.
Ten Pennsylvania counties depend
almost wholly, or in part, on the
mines. Three of these produce IS per
cent of all anthracite. Their 125,000
miners are about 80 per cent of all
hard coal workers. An industry with
828 mines controlled by 1875 COM
panies centers in these three.
