Advice to LOvelO1n
BY Beatrice Fairfax

M. NJ, there Is all the hope In
the world for you. Only don't
be swept off your feet by your
enthusiasm. Keep your poise,
enjoy this good friendship, and
let time decide whether you
really love the young man who
seems so near your ideal Just
now.
The idea Of going about in
q crowd Of four is very good;
jolly good times you win have
that way are better than too
much sentimentaiity ana too
much pairing off at first. You
are wise, also, in going about
with other friendS-but do not
seem any more attentive to
them than to him. II he stays
away from you two or three
weeks it may be well to have
another date when he calls up,
but your own tact and intuition
will tell you whether that is
wise when the occasion arises.

Arranging for the Wedding
Breakfast
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
81 am to be married at an
early Mass in church, very
simply and informally-only
the immediate members Of both
families present. Because Of
our train leaving at 1O:3O in
the morning. would it be proper
for my family to invite the
others to o hotel for breakfast
and my husband and I return
to my home and have ours?
That would be more convent
ent and quicker, as I win have
to have time to change into
travelling clothes. Or would
you suggest some other ar
rangement? I might add that
my apartment is small and
there win be 12 persons (four
in my family present.
AIN<A4OO0"
I do not approve Of your
plans, for they would seem
ungracious and inhospitable.
Since the time Of your train
is the thing to be planned for,
set the hour Of your wedding
early enough 50 that there will
be time for you and your
husband to return to your
home with your- guests, for
the wedding breakfast. Your
guests will understand this,
and, since there are so few of
them, it viii be possible for you
and your family to speed UP"
the breakfast so that you can
have time to change to your
travelling costume and take
that train. AS q matter Of
fact, you and your husband
need not stay long at the
breakfast, that is, it will not
be expected that you Finger, |"
but it certainly would be ex-
pected that you would come for
a half hour at least.

When q man waits until after
forty-five to begin looking for

that his eyes are so dim, that
he can't tell the real thing from

Funny, how a man can sit on
the front piazza, all day long,
just thinking and thinking that
he'll trim the edge or spray the
roSes-and then go off to bed,
feeling as though he had done
q hard days work.
Marriage doesn't actually
change a mans nature: it
merely removes his romantic
disguise and permits him to act
perfectly natural.
A man may wear q green
necktie, break most Of the Com
mandments, and make only
thirty dollars q week, and still
be an ideal husband" II he
never forgets to send his wife
flowers on their wedding-anni-

her before breakfast. and never
kisses her as though it were a

After a man has spent an

thing Of q shock to meet him

CHAPTER I

~A43A4 = 4AAS -
Scrimley has been dead a
long time, a very long time
over 400 years, in fact. He was
a pugnaciouS fellow while he
was alive and 1t was reason
able to expect, when his shade
rose from q grave, which had
never been discovered. that his
would be q perniciouS ghost.
Three deaths may be laid at
the sepulchral door of Scrimley'S
ghost: perhaps four, no one
will ever be able to tell that.
He had q way Of intruding
himself into other peoples at.
fairs, with destructive result,
while he was alive, but, II any
thing, his ghost was even more
successful.
About 1900 the ghost first
appeared. Two hundred years,
to the exact day. after his
death it was said. One death
was the toll Of Scrimley's Ghost
at that period. The wrath sup
posedly stole back into the
neither kingdoms and was not
heard from again for over a
quarter Of q century. Another
death looSened 1t from its bond
and it returned once more from
the Internal darkness Of Styx.
And once again the loup-garou
focused its evil eye upon living
mankind.
Robin Dale was, at the time
of the latter visitation. a mem
Der Of the Daily Journal staff.
Some comment had been
aroused by the temperance OF
Scrimley's ghost, although no
act of a criminal nature had
been perpetrated. It was, how
ever, q subject for an interest
ing newspaper yarn, and as
this sort of thing was Robin
Dale'S forte, he found himself,
quite naturally, not only a spec
tator but a participant in one
Of the most frightful and u1'
canny criminal cases on record.
His destination was the south
ern shore Of Long Island in the
vicinity Of what is known as
the HamptonS, a group OF set
Elements stretching probably
20 miles along the Atlantic
front, and reaching out into
the lower portion Of the "fish-
tail" This stretch of Long
Island varies in width from five
to twenty miles and its north
ern shore is washed by the
waters of Peconic and Gardner
bays. There are two large
bodies Of land within the pro-
jecting "finS" Of the 'fish-tail''
Shelter Island and Gardner'S
Island.
For those who have never
studied the map Of Long Island,
it may be explained that it
closely resembles the shape Of
a fish: its western end, where
two boroughS Of the city Of
New York are located, is the
head" and its eastern end the
tall" divided into upper and
lower projecting "fins" by Pc
comic Bay and Gardner Bay.
Robin Dale set out early one
Monday morning, travelling by
car. He had ahead a journey of
some Seventy-five miles to the
BoyleSton Farm. Armed with
very Ineager information, Dale
stopped in Speonk to get what
lead he could from the police.
The BoyleSton place was about
three miles farther out on Mer.
rick Road. Dale finally found
himself seated on the porch Of
Chief Constable Wingate'S cot
tage.
'Don't knows I can do much
for you, Mr.. Dale" said Wingate
in an easy, drawing tone, after
the reporter had introduced
himself and explained his mis-
sion. "Y'see I amt got juris-
diction over ghosts and the
darn thing amt done nothin'
criminal"
"Old Charley BoyleSton died
about two months ago, didn't
he? Some talk about that

Wasn't no evidence Of foul
play-the OF man died o. pneu-

tive o. that. Anyways, the
ghost didn't appear until after
old Boyleston'S death"
"I'd like to get the legend Of
Scrimley's Ghost correct" said
Robin Dale finally.

knows 1t, o. course, but II you
want it with all the frills OF
Gabriel can give it yoh best.
OF Gabriel lives In O shack

You bet it is! Thousand acres
or more from the ocean right

''Well, thanks for your trou-
BILE, Chief" said Dale, rising, II
think I'll drop In on OF Gabriel
for q chat
Dale had no trouble finding
the road to Gabriers shack. It
was no more than q narrow, dirt
path which turned gradually to
sand as he neared the ocean.
The last half-mile he had to
walk as he could make no pro-
gress in the sand with his car.
He spotted the shack on a
sandy knoll. Old Gabriel was sit

yond. He was a Shriveled-up
little fellow, not q year under
eighty, with snow-white hair,
and wrinkled brown skin that
looked like leather.
"Ain't no one en- tell yIIh
more about Scrirnley'S Ghost
nor T." he cackled after Dale'S
leading question. The old man
puffed for a little while in ST.
lence, but his eyes sparkled and
Dale knew he was proud Of
his knowledge and happy to
talk about it.
"Y'know Captain Kidd" he
finally began. Then he waved
his arm toward the ocean.
Used to roam these seas, he
did. Scrimley was one O. nis
men, Bo's'n Scrimley. Oh, look
down thar, lad, that's whar
Scrimley's ghost is alvin these
days."
He pointed a finger down
the long stretch Of beach which
ran eastward for almost five
miles Of gliStening whiteneSs.
Possibly three miles away the
huge, black, decaying hulk of
a wreck had pushed its prov
far UP on the sands, so that 1t
rested upon a dune.
That's it, the rottin' OIL
hulk. No one in these parts
knows when 1t rested there,
nor me, an I'm the oldest

ghost knows sumthin' about it"

Cathie COnfesses Her Love
For Young Gordon Moore
CHAPTER as

They walked along the rim
az what seemed to be q crater
it was really the unfin-
ished dam. Below were many
levels, and men climbing like
ants up and down the SCARED
sides. Overhead great beacon
lights flared, and men seemed
to be working far upward, half
way I'D. to the sky. There was
the sound Of crunching rock,
Of running water, Of the steady
whirring of many machines.
And the cold, the cold Of q
mountain night, pressed close
to them, almost painful to
breathe.
The flashlights of the elder
Moore and her husband were
ahead. Cathie and Gordon fol-
lowed. Sometimes Moore talked,
explaining things. Cathie lis
tened, but the words meant
nothing. She was listening to
the song Of the machines, and
the wild singing In her heart.
Here she was, in the noun
tains with him !. and it
wasn't her fault. -. Mr.. Farms

cement mixer that took sand
and rocks and pebbles and
stirred them into the mixture
with enormous iron hands.
"You and Gordon better wait
outside, It's pretty dusty for a
lady," David Moore said In
his harsh voice, so like Cor
don'S yet so unlike it.
IF you climb up q bit further
you can get a better view Of
the project" Gordon said,
taking her arm In his, guiding
her over the slippery sand and
and rock to q wooden platform
overlooking the crater.
It was q hard climb, be-
cause Of the slippery sand, and
the darkness. Cathie was
breathing hard when they
reached it and the clear, cold
air whipped the scarlet color
into her cheeks, so that she
glowed, with a curious, tirNgling
eXhilarations -.
The whole thing was unreal,
and clouds. Of misty fog rolling
In, diHnming the f1aring lights,
served to make it more so, It
was like creation, like the be-
ginning Of the world.
In His Arms
Standing there on the little
wooden platform in the dark
ness, Gordon Moore was very
near to her. Her husband and
his brother had disappeared
into the Shed-like building
that housed the machinery.
Somewhat, off in the darkness
the blind aunt, and the old
uncle waited, and somewhere,
in another world her mother

The pounding went on, and
sometimes it seemed to be the
machinery and sometimes it was
In her heart. She leaned back
against the railing behind her,
and it wasn't a railing. it was
Gordon Moore'S arm.
The pounding in her heart, or
the sound of machinery seemed
to get louder or was it
that she was dizzy? And there
was a rearing in her ears.

Better Fire Fighting Methods Needed

It is about time that Nogales taxpayers awoke to
the fact that there is something fundamentally wrong
with the methods used in fighting the numerous de-
structive fires which have visited the citys business
district since the first Of the year.
This is no reflection upon the members OF the 10
cal volunteer fire department who invariably show
commendabe zeal in responding to calls and in com
batting fires whenever called upon to do But it is
not to be gainsaid that the Nogales fire department
is not, and has not been keeping up with the needs
and growth of the city.
Fire fighting is no longer the haphazard affair
of generation or so ago. Men undergo long and
tedious period of training before being declared COM
peten to even hold the nozzle of hose They have to
learn many things not the least important of which
is the fact that property damage from water must be
as carefully guarded against as damage from the
flames which they are endeavoring to subdue Point
ing nozzle in the general direction of the smoke and
turning loose the water is longer being done in the
best departments
And one man does not attempt to supervise the
activities of his in the fire The chief is
sisted by his captains who direct the operations of
their squads. Unauthorized orders not allowed
Consequently maximum of service is achieved with
minimum of effort and what water is used is placed
where it beongs,-on the fire and no where else.
A few hosemen trained for their work; super
visor two to assist the Chief the balance of the vol
unteer force held in reserve for emergency and all
this confusion, waste of water, and minimum of re-
suit from maximum Of effort would disappear.
