Dear Miss Fairfax: r am 13 alul j have been going about with a girl one 1 year older for a couple of months, hut . recently she says that our friendship must cease owing to the difference of our age. 1 love this gill very much, so would you please advise what I should do? M The difference in your age is negli gible. but vou are young to be think mg of assuming the responsibilities of married life unless you are in a flnan rial position to do so. Dramatic Move. Dear Miss Fairfax; Why doe-.. <!od give a woman tile power to love, 't'lte power to love a man. a line man. a wonderful man. who can never love her? Oh! Miss Fairfax, 1 know that i I have no right to quest ion the , omniscience of a loving Dod, hut. oh. if l had never met him. Miss Fairfax, 1 love him so and lie will never love me. Before l met him I was doing my work well, hut since J have come to know him I can't do anything right. Knowing, even at first, that ii ■ would never love me. I tried to crush out an.v feeling whatsoever for him. but 1 failed miserably. Then, fool jahly. 1 hoped that he would love ni< he w as so kind, so considerate, so | i ourteous, but now I realize that it , annot be Oh. if you knew him as ] I know him. you perhaps would see | why I love him so. Oh. had I but never met him. then T would not ba\e known the soul wracking agony of seeing hina love another whom I suppose he will marry some day. Oh. why must such things be? My life never had much joy. wliy mu*; ibis one tiling he denied me? Miss Fairfax, every one predicts that soup day he will be one of the highest of beers of the land, but if he were a • ripple, in both mind and body, i would be willing to earn the li\ ing for both him and myself by doing any thing—anything. Miss Fairfax, my whole career do pends upon whether l remain here, where I am at present, and here it is almost unbearable because of him TV hat can T do? Any other plac. would not "(Tor the chance that thi> doe?, and here I am now not doing iny work to the best of my ability . Why cannot work tilt the whole of a woman’s heart as it docs of a man's" Why was she made to love, to desire to comfort the woes of a little child and to want one of her own? Why was it? And. do tell me what to do. I've done the best 1 know and cannot put the thoughts of him—the love of him, the admiration for him from my mino. What a letter I have written 1 do not know, but it's from the depths of my heart, so please answer very soon arid accept my gratitude. F. IT. J. Perhaps you don't believe " 'Tis better to have loved and lost than nfvor to have loved at all. hut I do. True lo\e is enubling. What it means to one hi a material way is not the real beauty of love. Why must one possess in order to be happy? It is a privilege to love unselfishly and wholly. It may be a greater inspira t;on to you to have loved truly and not have gained the object of your love, than to have actually won him. t fear, however, you are dramatiz ing the situation. Work does not fill the heart of a man any more than ii does the heart of a woman. One mss do what the psychologist* call "sub limate." that is. direct your heart energies into brain activities, but sub limation. in order to be quite sue eessful. ought to be a natural growth of interest in one’s work and not forced. We all know many women who seem perfectly happy, and are. !b b career of acme kind. They have entirely sublimated. They are giv ing no energy to a home life, but are entirely absorbed in the pursuit of ambition. This is often true of ar tists. great singers in particular. Your letter indicates that you are very sorry for yourself. I think von can brace up and face tlie situation right where you are if you will use common sense and courage, and if you will stop being dramatic. If you And you really cannot do your work, then go away and try to interest your self in new friends and other work. Personals Charles McCarthy returned to his home in Minneapolis Monday night.

"Right inside here, Mrs. Graham, j Mind the table there. It projects out too far, but there's no other place for it.” I followed Tim Boyce, the station agent, into his office, with the mental comment that never before had I met so courteous and pleasant a railway official. There was nothing perfunc tory, either, in hts manner. On* felt that the man was so essentially 1 kindly souled that he could not be otherwise than considerate. "Just sit down here. Where do you want to telephone—Caldwin?" "Yes. How much is it?" "Never miiul lhai now. Wait till you finish your call. You can't tell how much it will be until you get through. Here is the Caldwin book, and now, if you don't mind, I'll leave yotj for a few minutes. If you can't get your number, or need me for anything else, just tap on that win dow. I’ll be rustling freight just out side it.” Madge’s Nerves Are ’’Jangled.’’ He was out of the door almost be fore I could frame a grateful "Thank you,'^ and I paid another mental tri bute to the thoughtfulness which left me to myself while telephoning. I reflected that he was the man through whose hands Lillian's tele phone message had passed but a few minutes before. The Coptic wording of that message, together with my feverish preparations to get away from the Barker house must have excited a very natural curiosity in him, and he could have gratified it by staying in his office. Indeed, as I very well knew, he was straining :» point to leave me alone in his official sanctum and T was correspondingly grateful. The long-distance telephone opera tor. however—curt, Inefficient and disobliging—jangled again the nerves soothed hy Mr. Boyce's possession of just the opposite qualities. By the time I was connected with the As toria hotel In Caldwin, .and had suc ceeded in making an unusually thick headed clerk understand to whom I wished to talk I was fairly quivering with nervous rage. The timber of Dicky's voice, when 1 finally succeeded in getting him to the telephone, was not calculated *o pour any oil upon the troubled waves of my spirit. "What's the matter?” he demanded when I had succeeded In making him understand who w.as talking to him. "Anybody dead?” "Something Has Happened.” "No," I retorted crossly, "but we must change our plans and start early this—” "For the love of Mike!" he explod ed. "Do you mean to tell me that you've dragged me out of bed to a telephone to tell me you've changed your plans? Well, you can just change ’em back again’ I'm going hack to bed again.” How I longed to slam the telephone receiver down on the hook, and leave Dicky to escape as best he could from the unpleasant publicity which woul 1 he sure to follow Dr. Petit's arrival at the hotel! I knew better, however, than to mention the physician's name. Dicky, like most men, would have preferred anything rather than the appearance of fleeing a possible an tagonist. But I knew that I must manage to impress Dicky with the necessity of ■*. - . ’ - • . . • -t. , ..-i-1 EXCUSE THE CROWDS!

It telling him that something had happened at home would have done any good I should not have hesitated to use the subter fuge, but I knew that he would insist upon starting from Caldwin, the near est point. With a swift little appeal to my special little joss, I made my voice steely. "Look here.” 1 said. "Something has happened which I cannot discuss over the ‘phone, but it means terrible publicity if we do not leave here at once. Don't raise a single objection. I know what I’m talking about.

S L E E P Y-T I M E TALES V &JIMMY rk,©RABBIT ^^TONCE MORE JSLtl'ARTHilraOmALLEI ___ — »»*' CHAPTER \ 111. Tim Neighbor’s Dog. Farmer Green had some neighbors who lived a littl" further dotgn Pleas ant Valley, on the farm next to his. Although Jimmy Rabbit dwelt In Farmer Green's woods, and went each evening, in summer, to Farmer Green's garden, he always tried to bo neighborly. Often he went to the neighbor’s garden, early in the morn ing. lie used to remark that he didn't want the neighbors to foeel slighted. About the time that Jimmy Rab bit chose for visiting the neighbor's garden patch, old Mr, Crow was In the habit of waking up. Ho would stretcli himself, give a hoarse squawk and fly off across the fields to get his breakfast. High up in the air, he could see almost everything that happened up and down the valley. Ho noticed that Jimmy Rabbit went sev eral times a week to get his morning meal at the neighbor's place. W\s- .<r | "Mg goodness!” Jimmy Rabbit thought a% he scurried for the woods. At last Mr. Crow watched for Jim my to come hopping back to the woods. And just as Jimmy reached the pasture. Mr. Crow swooped down and alighted upon tlie fence. "1 advise you not to do that any more,” he croaked. “Not do what?” Jimmy asked him. "Not to visit Hie neighbor's gar den patch " Mr. Crow explained. "Why shouldn't I?" Jimmy inquir ed. "The peas are fine there this ' year- They're even better than ' Farmer Green's." "Ah' lVfliapC" said Mr. Crow. “And what about the neighbor's dog? isn't 1 lie better* than old dog Spot?” Jimmy Rabbit burst out laughing. "The neighbors haven't any dog," j be told Mr. Crow. "They have a dog kennel," Mr Crow retorted. "Rut no dog!" Jimmy insisted. "You're mistaken,” Mr. Crow re 1 lipd. ‘‘It's a dangerous place down; there—unless a person can fly. And you know you can’t do that." "Why do you think there's a dog down there?" Jimmy Rabbit asked the old gentleman. "Because of the sign—" said Mr. Crow, "the sign which says 'Beware of the pf>g'." Jimmy Rabbit chuckled. He was sure Mr. Crow was mistaken. He knew there was no dog at (he neigh boring farm. "That sign." ho told Mr- Crow, "is just to make people think there's a dog when there's none at all. It fooled you. No doubt it has fooled a good many others. But it doesn't fool me.” Old Mr. Crow looked quite unhap py. He liked to have his friends think him very wise. And now, to be told by Jimmy Rabbit that he had been deceived by a sign was a little too much for him. “I can’t he mistaken," he cried, j “You wait and see. Some day that j dog wit chase you. And you’ll he i lucky if you bet away from him." Then Mr. Crow flew away, mut tering to hitnself. And Jimmy Rah hit ran home, tittering. During the next week Jimmy went each morning to the neighbors’ gar den. The pens were prime that week. He didn't mean to miss s single morning while they lasted. But on the seventh morning fater | his talk with old Mr Crow-, Jimmy j had a great surprise. He was enjoy- | ing a hentry breakfast among the pea vines when a sharp l>atk warn j ed him that danger was near. He ran. lie ran faster than he had ever run in all his life. This was no old dog-like Partner Green's Spot. It was a spry young dog. And he kept crying at Jimmy Rabbit, "I've got you! I’ve got you!" “My goodness!" Jimmy Rabbit thought as he scurried for the woods. “Old Mr. Crow was right, after all. This is a terrible clog. I’ll beware of him if 1 get away from him this time.” Old Mr. Crow himself saw the chase as he sailed far above the valley. , He was sorry for Jimmy Rabbit. But he couldn't help having an "I told you so" sort of feeling. "They can't fo»* Mr Crow," he muttered to himself"! knew that sign meant something Well. Jimmy Rabbit escaped. I 0 in the hack pasture lie mannered t<i give the strange dog the slip. And lie was glad to go home and stay there all the rest of that day. Mr. Crow was watching him thy next morning. He dropped down lntd the pasture the moment he saw Jlnv my ltahhtt steal from 1ha woods to* wards Farmer Green's garden. “Ah, ha”* cried the old gentleman. "I was right, wasn’t 1?” "No!" said Jimmy Rabhlt. "Toil were wrong.” “What!” spluttered Mr. Crocn, “Didn't I tell you that that sign. ‘Be* ware the Dog.’ meant smoethlng?” “Yes!" Jimmy Rabbit admitted. "And so It did. Just as 1 explained. Mr. Crow, It meant that there was no dog there. And that 1 know, made me careless. I ought to have looked for that sign every morning.” “What do you mean?" asked Mr, Crowk "I mean," said Jimmy, "that t didn't look for the sign yesterday, if I had, I should have noticed that tt was no longer there I should have known then that the neighbors had a new dog." “Nonsense!" souailed Mr. Crow. "Nonsense!" And according to his custom when he knew In had blun* dered, he hurried away a'-ros* the fields. (Copyright, 192?.)
