Problems That Perplex

Wailing Two liars.
Dear Miss Fairfax: 4m 2a and ex
pect to become engag'd to a young
man one year my Juiiii/r.
Although his parent* are not nltg
gether dependent upoi. him he helps
a great deal In the Support of his
family, and for this riftson he will not
be in a position to marry for two
years.
I love him becnuselie is so unselfish
and thinks so much of those who aro
dear to him. and I fnow. too. thfet lie
loves me and would feel badly hurt
were I to give him up.
At times, howetr, I think two
years a long time for a girl to wait
for a man who is younger than she.
Will vou kindly tell me what you
think of it? NAN.
Two years mi*ht ho a long time
to wait if the retard were uncertain.
But the man yoi describe is, though
young in years, fine and stable in
character. Tho difference in age is
so slight that Itik not worth stressing.
Be a pal and a partner and work
along together. This will make the
time of waitin* seem less diflicult, if
It does not actially vsh lrten it.
Blanche: 1 may be that he does
not want te Understand. Somehovr,
I tiie modern ymth does not keep pace
with the modern maid in her go-got
hlm-when-you want him methods.
Now your system has been tried atid
found unsatisfactory, suppose you
revert to the old-fashioned theory of
the male pursuing. It is not so awful
old-fashioned, as your brother would
tell you, had you one. When you feel
one of those hints attacking you. re
strain yourself. Then you may be
agreeably surprised. At any rate you
will spare yourself some unpleasant
criticism.
I>aisy: Of course you should an

tired and didn't,feel like dancing that
evening. If I am to give you the

The Reason Madge Registered Faith

I suppose my terror for Katherine
must have showed in my face, for
Harry Underwood put out his hand
and grasped my arm as if to save
me from falling.
"Nil No!" he said emphatically,
keeping Iris voice at a low pilch, how
ever. "Nothing has happened to her,
and nothing is going to happen if 1
don't get mine first. But that doesut' .

what's the matter witli her. any-1
way? I should think it would bo
enough for her to risk her own life
the way she does without sending
other women less experienced than
she is into the mess."
"She never sends any one where
she wouldn't go herself." I flared, all
my spirit rushing to Lillian's defense.
"Don't I know that as well as you(
do?” he retorted. "Nobody ever
doubted Lll's bravery, or her resource
fulness. That's just it. She's so
preternaturally clever, and so absolu
tely' fearless lierself that she doesn't
judge other women by any other
measuring stick."
It was a curious thing to me to hear
this unconscious note of awc-d respect
for Lillian in the voice and words of
i he man who had trented her so abom
inably. Hut 1 was too full of another
question to dwell upon the thought,
und I spoke quickly, eagerly:
Hut you haven't told me how you
knew what Katherine was—in any
danger. I—thought—that—”
"Canny even yet, aren't you?" lie
mocked with his brilliant black eyas
fixed mirthfully upon me. "Aren't
going to give away to the bold bad
man who can't be trusted, just whet*
little Kutrinka is?"
"you know I didn't mean that," 1
protested, fearing that 1 laid meant
just what he said, but knowing in my
heart that the feeling was an Injustice
to Harry Underwood. "But you know
I am not supposed—"
"Right at This ratal.’’
"Sure thing,” he assented prompt

caper. Keep your little secrets while

gifted ulien gentleman answering to
the name of Joe, has been taken t©
recover from an accident near Sag
Harbor a while ago. Joe had been
snooping around a certain farmhouse,
putting the hoodoo sign on a serving
maid named Katie—
"Incidentally,” his eyes hardened,
"you'll have to watch that girl. She's
faithful to the death and eternity and
all of that, of course, but this Joe, if
he recovers, is sure bad medicine
where she is concerned. He's got the
higli sign on her somewhere—I have
a suspicion where, but I'm not sure,,
although I think you are.”
He shot a keen glance at me, but I
looked back at him imperturbably,
and he gave a short little laugh.
"Got a sort of poker face yourself,
haven't you, old dear?” he gibed.
"But that's neither here nor yet there

assigned to him by that sweet child,
Herbie Pettit, who has such an un

came so devoted to her that he in
sisted upon having no one else when
his supposed employers took him
home.
“Right at this point.” he grinned,

pups are ivory solid from the neck up,
and they fell for Herbie's scheme,
which, of course, whs old Hi's. When
I first heard of the wonderful nurse
to whom Joe was so devoted I smelled
a rat, and l made it my business to

“I Believe—”

"Dal she sec you?” I asked breath

by the wealth of intimate knowledge

my father were tracking. He indeed
must have spoken only the truth
when he once had described himself
as a sort of “glorified stool pigeon.” '
"Not so that anybody jcould no

Mr. Crow and Tommy Fog s f.tthei
had exchanged their usual oonipli
r.ients. and that old Mr. Crow had ;
lest Ills temper again.
It must he confessed that Mr. Crew
liked to call his neighbors' attention
to Mr. Fox's late arrival for break
fast. That was the reason why, when j
he called good morning to Mr. Fox.
he always squalled so loudly, He
wanted the world to know that the
iiifflqnly Mr. Fox had stayed out the
whole night long, and was just get
ting home.
But that sort of tiling never both
ered Mr. Fox In the least Tf the
truth must be told he often went out
of his way in order to meet Mr. Crow
and exchange greetings with him. He
knew that the old gentleman would
certainly fly Into a rage. And Mr.
Fox loved to tease people.
Now, when Mr. Crow' lost his tern
per so early, he was sure to II ml that
things went wrong all day. His
breakfast never tasted quite ns it
should. His best frionds all quarreled
with him. Everyone in Pleasant Yal
ley tried to keep out of ilia way. And
tilts last was the hardest of till to
hear. For old ^tr. Crow loved to gos
sip. And every gossip knows that
there's no fun in gossiping a kmc. In
fact, they say it can't be done.
At last Mr. Crow mule us liis mind
ihat he mustn't hare a dispute with
air. Vox before hteukfast.
"I’ll yield," Mr. Crow derideU. “I ll
let him have his way. After this,
when I see him i'll Call, ’Good night"
And theft there won't t*e itny more
trouble."
The very next day Mr. Crow met
Mr. Vo* at the usual early bout.
"Good night, Mr. Vos'." the old
gentleman squawked.
Though he was surprised. Tommy
Vox's father never let Mr. Crow
know It.
"Good morning, sir!" he replied
"Well, Mr. Crow almost squalled hi*
head off. He was furious
‘I tried to agree with him; hut'it's
impossible,'1 he told everybody who
would listen (o him. "I tqtoko to him

was very, very Impertinent.”
"What did Mr. Vox say to you?”
asked Mr. Crow's cousin, Jx*|>er Jay.
"He said, ‘Good morning, sir" "
"Well! What’s Wrong with that?”
Mr. Crow coughed, spluttered, grow

There’s a Difference
In Health Breads
t
THERE'S bound to be a difference when
so vital a part of the grain as the wheat
germ is baked into one loaf and left out
of another. For the germ cbntains proteins,
mineral salts and vitamins — foods that are
needed most by the digestive system.
Burns’ WHEAT TONE HEALTH BREAD
does contain the wheat germ. The fact that
we have installed a special flour mill in our
bakery assures this to you. Here we mill the
flour for WHEAT TONE fresh every day,
seeing to it that ALL of the wheat is used.
By this special milling process WHEAT
TONE is also made to contain all of the coarse,'
laxative bran.
The wheat germ builds up and strength*
ens, the bran regulates.
WHEAT TONE flour contains 100r{ of the
wheat berry and WHEAT TONE Health
Bread contains no added white flour. Thus
the milling of our own flour assures you of the
germ and all of the bran, making WHEAT
TONE a different, better health bread.
