| mo. Virginia returned quietly
I'm going to be married"
Miss Evans exclaimed with pleas
ure, thinking of course that Vir-
GINA meant that she was going tc
marry her artist f1ance.
"Oh, I'm so glad" she cried; "a
girl as beautiful as you are needs
someone to look after her. 1t must
be heavenly to be in love-" she
added with a little sigh.
Virginia did not reply.
AT the Blue Capella offices vfr-
GINA left Miss Evans at her desk
and then went to Mr.. WelkinS to
explain that urgent private business
had kept her from the Office.
Welkins was very nice about it,
knowing that Virginia was a con-
scientious worker.
1--WE brought a very capable wo-
man with me whom I'd like to en-
gage as my assistant if you still
feel that I need one" she said when
they had settled the matter of her
nonappearance that morning at
nine.
Splendid" Mr.. Welkins surprised
her by saying. II intended putting
one of my own girls on your force.
Miss Brewster. to see if you could
break her in to take your place for
while. We want you to go on the
southern cruise of the Agena.'
He stopped, and Virginia sensed
that he was waiting for an express
sion of pleasure.
Ordinarily a trip on the Agena,
especially to the West Indies, would
have thrilled any of the Blue
Capella's employees. Apparently Mr..
Welkins expected her to be de-
lighted.
Her silence puzzled him. "You
will be glad to go, won't you, Miss
Brewster" he asked uncertainty.
1--WE want someone as hostess who
will know how to make the pas
sengers feel as though they were
our guests on the ship. Bring them
together; see that everyone has a
good time"
why, I don't know" Virginia
began hesitatingly. There are a
number of things I'd have to think
about before I could decide, Mr.
Welkins. But if you will give me
a few days. . I'd want to talk to
Mr.. Dan about it. :"
"Of course, of course. Well, let's
meet your new assistant and see
if she will do"
Virginia went out to send in Miss
Evans. Presently the latter re-
turned to say that she had been
given the position.
BY closing time Virginia had
about made up her mind that she
would refuse the offer to go as
hostess on the Agena's cruise,
though a chance to get away from
New York and the immediate in
f1uence of Frederick Dean appealed
to her strongly.
The thought of Nathaniel swung
the pendulum of desire back to
New York as she counted the time
she would be away from him If she
accepted the assignment.
There was all too little time to
be with him, she feared, her mind
still on the setback Oliver had
caused her.
A slowly growing conviction that
she would have to pay her pound
of f1esh-hesh of the heart-was
bringing her to face a very real
possibility of having to count each
hour with Nathaniel one of a fast
vanishing few.
But she still had a small part
of her year! Was she then of such

mind was blurred with shock and
despair.
The fine spirit that had famed

broken crusader.
over her head divers face took
on an expression of amazement, SO
thoroughly had he been convinced
a moment before that he had lost
her.
He relaxed his hold, to help her
to a chair. A great, struggling
sob wrenched itself suddenly from
her lips as her mind broke loose
from the paralyzing talons Of fear.
She thrust out her hands and
freed herself with one vigorous
shove. Oliver staggered away from
her, tripped on the edge Of a thick
rug and fell fiat on the floor.
Virginia laughed, strange laugh
that sounded weird in the prosaic
surroundings. It was mingled
hysteria and ridicule.
divers face burned hotly as he
scrambled up, all dignity lost to
him.
"You little devil" he shouted
believing that she had fooled him
deliberately, though for what pur-
pose he did not stop to ask himself.
Virginia did not answer him. She
had turned toward the door and
saw that it was opening slowly. But
she was past caring who might wit
ness the scene she was leaving.
The newcomer was Miss Evans.
She took one comprehensive glance
at her employer and withdrew with
Virginia, closing the door behind
them.
"I did not know II you were
laughing OF crying" she explained
in apology for her intrusion.
Virginia did not make a direct
answer. you'd better get your
things and come with me-" she adj
vised, suddenly conscious Of what
Miss Evans would be in for at Oil
ver's hands when he learned where
Virginia had got the information
that had exposed him. He was sure
to make a hurried investigation,
she foresaw.
Does he deserve it?" Miss Evans
countered.
"He deserves to be shot"
"All right. Will you wait, though,
until I tell him I'm leaving? I've
been breaking in Miss Lord for the
job on the quiet so he won't be in
convenienced."
"I'l1 wait for you downstairs, -
Virginia told her. Bring all your
things and we'll take taxi to my
Office. I think I can get you a po-
tision there"
Miss Evans beamed. "I won't be
a minute" she declared gratefully.
Later, on the way to the Offices
Of the Blue Capella Steamship Line,
Virginia told her more about the
position she might be able to get
for her.
"They told me a few weeks ago
that I could have an assistant" she
said; "but I thought I could do the
work alone. I'm afraid it's not 60
ing to be so easy for me to concen-
trate on it now"
She paused and looked away with
an unfathomable expression in her
eyes. >,
"They will need someone to take
my place soon. I'd like you to have
it, and if I can help you to fit your
self for it I shall feel I've repaid
you a little for the sacrifice you
have made for me-"
She turned her head and saw that
Miss Evans was looking at her ques-
tioningly.
Il hope you aren't thinking OF
giving up your position just to adj
vance me-" the secretary said I'M

Health, Weight and
Energy.

Every woman who is weak, run
down or under nourished will be in
terested in the experience of Mrs. S.
Kuharic, 924 S. Both Street, South
Bend, Ind. How she won back her
health, appetite and weight, is told
in her letter as follows:
"For months 1 was badly run
down; thoroughly tired out and
awfully weak all the time. I had
no appetite and what food I could
eat didn't agree with me or do
me any good. lost weight until
I was down to only 80 pounds. My
vitality was so low that I had no
pep at all. My husband and friends
began to be alarmed about me. They
had me try several medicines, but 1
felt no better. Then relative
suggested Viuna, and after just a
few doses, I began to feel a ,dif-
ference. Before the first bottle was
gone, I had a good appetite for the
first time in months. Soon L had
gained seven pounds. Now, my sys-
tenn is regular, I feel fine and can
eat anything. Viuna helped me SO
wonderfully that I gave it to my
daughter. She had kidney and
bladder trouble for some time. In
only two days I noticed she was
much better and now she is entire
" relieved of her ailments. She is
gaining every day and looks fine.
We both owe all our good health
to Viuna."
viuna acts promptly on sluggiss
bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. II
purifies the blood, clears the skim. re-
stores appetite and digestion, and brings
new strength and energy to the whole
body. Take a bottle on trial. Then II
you're not glad you tried Vtuna, your
money will be refunded. 81 at druggists,

Not a Battle-But a War

Todays primaries, however they may re
suit must not be considered as mere battle.
The issues in the primaries were fairly
well defined. They are the same issues which
come into every campaign, in elections as we'll
as primaries.
The struggle was for the preservation of
self government. The issue was whether the
people shall rule themselves or permit their
government to fall into the hands of the 'venal,
the INSCRIPTIONS, the bigoted and the intol-
Grant
Corruption dies hard. Intolerance is even
more obstinate. Bgotry is seemingly almost
incurable
And yet the great mass of people are hon
est, tolerant and fair-minded.
Fortunately for the people of Indiana, the
issues of today were clear. 1t was easy to
make the choice. The exposures Of the past
year had placed the candidates. In this cam
paign men could be easily counted They
were either for or against the forces which have
discredited and disgraced Indiana.
The only safeguard of liberty is an in
formed, alert and determined citizenship.
There is every evidence that the people of
Indiana are alert. They have been informed,
largely through the efforts of The Times. They
are determined.
Each battle won makes the victory easier.
But this war, in which the enlistment is for
the life of the republic and the continued honor
of the State.
Whatever errors of judgment may occur
TODAY can be corrected in November.

The March of Armies-and Time

The Department of the Interior has just revealed
that there remain fewer than 10000 Civil War soldier
pensioners. The veterans of Lincoln's armies are
dying at the rate of 1900 month; within twenty-five
years the last centenarian among them will be gone
The men who still survive have seen great changes.
They have seen their sons and grandSons march
away to new wars fighting shoulder to shoulder with
the sons and grandsons of the Confederate veterans
They have seen the wounds of the Civil War healed
the Union more firmly cemented than ever before.
Thew have seen their country reach new power and
new prosperity.
What will the country be like when the veter-
ans Of the World War have reached the stage the
Civil War veterans now hold? Wilt they, too, have
seen new warsP Will they too, have witnessed a
great growth in internal harmony and well being?
1t is fascinating speculation.

came the center of scientific interest in 1910 when
Calico few weeks after he had built his hrst tele-
scope turned the little instrument upon Jupiter ana
discovered four moons circling the planet.
AS larger and larger telescopes were built In the
centuries that followed Jupiter became OF greater
and greater interest. Much of the important work
upon the planet in the last half century was done at
the famous Lick Observatory in California by the late
DR.. E. E. Barnard, one of the most famous students
of the planet The planet had also been studied at
the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff Ariz, at the Mt
Wilson Observatory and at other famous observa-
tories.
Jupiter is very far from the sun compared to the
earth. The earth is 100000 miles from the sun.
Jupiter is 483,O0oO0O miles from it,
AS result the suns gravtatonal pull is much
less upon Jupiter and the planet more slowly
in its orbit The earth speeds around the at We
locity Of eighteen and one-haf miles per second.
Jupiter moves at the rate of eight miles per second
1t takes Jupiter twelve of our years to make one
revolution around the SUM-
But Jupiter turns much faster upon its axis than
does the earth. 1t makes a rotation in ten of our
hours. Accordingly, day on Jupiter would be five
hours long and night only five hours long. One
would have to live fast life on Jupiter!

pearance Of Jupiter.

IF we enter the palace we are

Hall of the Council Of Ten In the
year 1911, after a violent revolution,
a committee Of public safety was
formed to restore and maintain
order; it restored it without mercy
and the grateful merchants Of
Venice, who had made themselves
and the city rich by carrying goods
everywhere between Europe and the
East, placed the entire government
permanently in the hands of the

the Great Council composed of the

The executive officer was called
the Doge or Duke; a long line Of
powerful leaders held this place
from the days of EnricO DandOlO

to the bitter days of Ludovico

Veterans Parade

New York police banned a parade
of veterans on Sunday Captain
Kelleher, who actually did the
banning, says he acted by order of
Inspector Day.
Inspector Day says that he issued
the order because parades with
bands are not allowed on Sunday,
except for religious or memorial
exercises, and that this particular
parade did not come under either
head as they only wanted to lay
a wreath" on General Grants
tomb, and that "the exercises were
not memorial in nature"
Considering some other things
that the New York police wink at
for the sake of observation-disclosures
and liberality," as it is commonly
expressed, this looks like straining
at a gnat, but it is just one more
illustration of the difference be-
tween technical justice and that
which finds a basis in common
sense

Now he has vctory-by more peaceaole

tee has approved his proposal for permitting States
and cities to twenty veyear bonds to provide
funds for public projects to relieve unemployment
What Coxey was unable to get by force, thrty-tour
years ago. he now wins by persuasion.
1t is sign of the times. The day when you could
get something by demanding it, with show of angry
force has passed. Cancellation and logic the
weapons that must be used nowadays. Coxey has
learned great lesson.

LaW-EIuding Process

Irish Joe's" criminal record COM
menced when he was taken into
custody on April 7, 1916, for as
sault. The judge gave him sus-
pended sentence and two days after
this he was arrested for grand lar
ceny, on which count he was dis
charged.
Within two weeks, he was ar
rested for violation Of parole and
sent to Elmira. In April, 1919, he
was arrested for grand larceny and
given a suspended sentence.
A year later he got two and one
half years in Sing Sing on the same
charge, but apparently did not serve
that term since he was credited
with another suspended sentence
only few months afterwards.
Between 1921 and 1926 he was
arrested no less than five times for
various offenses-grand larceny, vio-
lation Of the Sullivan law, assault
and robbery-but succeeded in elud-
ing the law each time.
You cannot hold the police re-
sponsible for failure to stop crime
in the face Of such records.
