■ - ■■ ■ ■ ■} Adele Garrison My Marriage Problems The Name Grace Draper Irritately hpoke W hkh Brought Hope to Madge. The engine of the big black limou sine under George’s directing hand put on a terrific burst of speed, and when it next slowed to a Btop, Grace Draper's voice held exasperation. “The blithering fools!’’ she said, j “The gates are shut." “Why shouldn’t they he?” the big man demanded. “We shouldn't be anxious for visitors." “Is that any reagon why we should advertise the fact?” she retorted. “The gates Inside, nearer the house, are locked, and we’re certainly guarded heavily enough.” George had descended from the car and had taken a massive key from the hand of the big man. He now paused uncertainly. "Shall I lock them again?” ho asked. "Who ordered them locked?” Grace Draper countered. “Next to the Throne—” “His royal highness, himself,” the big man returned, and while I thought I detected a note of derision In his voice at the title, I also recognised distinct respect. “Better lock them again," she agreed. “No use bucking that bird. He's next to the shrine itself, the only one of tho crowd who ever talks t« tho inner presence." “Where does the big tangerine rnme in, then?” the big man asked while George unlocked the gates. “He doesn't come in with those two.” Grace Draper replied, and I wondered at the irritated resentment! in her tone. “He hasn’t any higher rating or any more authority than I have, even if he does pose as tho boss of the works. You’d better lock those gates while George takes the car through and we’ll save a few sec onds.” I mentatly noted tho fact that what ever Grace Draper’s rank In the evil organization, whose power and ram ifications T-llIian evidently had not exaggerated—she was distinctly the superior officer of the present expedi tion. The big man obeyed her as a well-trained lackey might have done, and no more words were spoken while the car rolled over a smooth, but winding road which I guessed led through the grounds of some big country estate. Beneath the swathing folds of the blanket which Grace Draper had drawn over my face, I tried to com pute the distance from the gate to the house by counting to myself. But I soon gave It up, for both the physi cal discomfort of the gag In my mouth and the mental turmoil which the big man's mention of the big tangerine had set up in my brain, shut out everything else. A Slender Reed. “The big tangerine!" How well I remembered the bizarre phrase as it fell from Harry Underwood's lips, when I had driven him to Greenport after his masquerade as Don Alvaerz. in the home of the Southampton war profiteer. Even now against my flesh Inside my blouse I could feel the scarab which he had twisted from his tie and pressed into my hand with the Injunction : "If you ever get into a jam with a gang you don’t know anything about, give this to the least offensive of them, preferably a. woman, and tell her to give it to the big tangerine. I stand pretty well with him.’’ He had not explained his instruc tions further, and I had discounted it heavily because of his propensity for embellishing all his actions and words with a touch of theatriclsm. But I had kept the scarab upon my person ever since, urged thereto by some subconscious instinct of precau tion of which I was now very glad. Tt was a slender reed upon which to lean, but it was the only sign of help for me in any direction. The hope which had sprung into being with the noise of the motorcycle behind the car had died before we had finished the journey from the outer gntes of the estate to which we had come. For there had been no further sound of the. motorcycle engine, a fact upon which both Grace Draper and tho big man had commented Jubilantly. My fantastic conviction had meant noth ing, after all. The men on the mo torcycle had been travelers, nothing more, and had kept on the main road when we had turned to the less trav eled road. I doubted much, howeeer, If I would have a chance to give the scarab to any messenger. Grace Draper’s per sonal malevolence toward me was so deadly a thing that X w;is afraid she meant to mount guard over me her self, if Indeed she did not intend to put me beyond the necessity of guard ing.

Reddy Eox grinned as he starter! after Jumper tha Har£. Many timea during the winter Reddy had hunted Jumper, but then It was difficult to keep his eyes on Jumper, for Jumper was so exactly like his white sur roundings that it was an eayy matter for him to disappear. Now, however, his white coat against the brown leaves that covered tha ground could be seen a long distance. And no matter how he might twist and turn and dodge, he couldn't get out of sight. If ever there was a surprised boy it was Farmer Brown's Boy as Juniper the Hare suddenly appeared. It was going to be a case of which eould hold out the longest. At least that is the way Reddy thought of it. and Reddy was quite sure that he could keep running longer than Jumper could. "If I don't give him a chance to rest,’ thought Reddy, "I’ll tire him out. I can run further than he can.” So Reddy didn't run his fastest. He didn't intend to tire himself out. He ran just fast enough to keep Jumper frightened. Jumper dodged around trees, and ran this w»ay and that way as is his way. But Reddy never once lost sight of him, thanks to that white coat. Jumper began to grow tired. He would run as fast as he could so as to gain a little, then alt down to rest a minute. R»ddy aoon discovered this, and a! ways ran a little faster the moment Jumper sat down. So Jumper grew mot« and more tired, and more and more worried. So far as he could see Reddy Fox didn't seem to he tired at all. Jumper tried to think of some way to fool Reddy, but he was too tired and too frightened to think. “I've got to do something," panted Jumper. "I’ve got to do something pretty quick. I can't keep running much longer. I'm getting all out of breath, and my legs ache. Oh dear, what shall I do?" It was just then that. Jumper came in sight of Farmer Brown's little sugar house. The door was standing open. Farmer Brown's Boy was at work inside, though Jumper didn't know this. Perhaps it wouldn't have made any difference If he had known. Anyway, no sooner did Jumper see; that open door than he headed straight for it. Reddy Fox saw that sugar house, and he saw Jumper heading for that open door. Then Reddy began to run his fastest. My how he did run! He meant to catch Jumper before he could reach that open door. Jumper, looking back over his shoulder, saw that Reddy was gaining on him. Fear gave him new strength. Straight for that open door he bounded. Reddy was only a few feet behind him when Jumper bounded inside. If ever there was a surprised boy it was Farmer Brown’s Bov as Jump er the Hare suddenly appeared and crouched down in the furthest corner. He guessed right away that Jumper must have had s terrible fright and must have been chatted by some or*. He sprang to the door and looked out. He was Just in time to see crafty Reddy Fox disappear around the corner of the house. Farmer Brown's Boy yelled Just by way of letting Reddy know that he had been seen. Then he closed the door and turned to look at tUs unexpected visitor. (Copyright, tltt.)

We were en gaged two years ago. intending to marry ths sumnier. But as he is learning a trade and will get his li cense next year, we have decided to wait another year, as we both want a nicely furnished home and money for a rainy day. and as he won’t per mit me, to work after we re mdrried, he thinks It best for us to wait until next June. Now, it's quite embarrassing for me, for as the time draws near every one is asking me questions. I have received many gifts for my hope chest and a few girl friends want to give m« showers ss soon as the wedding date is settled. Do you think to avoid embarrassing questions we should get married this year and economize, or wait till next year and have a nice wedding, honeymoon trip and bank account? ELEANOR. You aren't marrying to please your friends, but to establish your own hap piness. But if you feel embarrassed at questions, why not tell the truth. It is an honorable truth. You want to wait until your marriage la estab lished on a firm basis. You don’t want to plunge Into matrimony before you are prepared for It. There is no rea son why you shouldn't tell the abso lute truth. But there is no reason why anyone should pry into your af fairs or embarrass you in any way if you merely say with quiet and as sured dignity that you have decided to wait another year. Don’t Wed Without Love. Dear Miss Fairfax: So many are benefited by your advice that I urn asking you to help me. also. I am a girl of 20 and I am to he married soon to a man of 24. He is a wonderful fellow and I really ought to be happy, but my trouble is this: Two years ago I met and fell In Iqve with a fellow who loved me, so he said. We went together for a long time and he went away. I went out with other fellows while he was away, as he didn't write. When ha returned X told him. and right there we parted. I told him I was sorry, but he said that he didn't want hla girl going with everyone. I lova him yet with my whole heart and soul, but he has forgotten me, so I can never marry him. I know. I have the deepest re spect for the man I am to marry, but should I marry him when I love this other man’ I would probably be an old maid If I wafted until I did love someone a* much as I did that other man. Please tell me what to do. Thanking you In advance. PENELOPE. Foolish Penelope, if your desire to marry Is so negative that It is only "not to be an old mild," by all means give up your wedding plans Appar ently you are not able to think of anyone but yourself in the matter, but you’re cheating some one of real love —tho only key to happiness for him and yourself. Dissatisfied with your self. you are trying to lay the blame on an affair that only piqued your in terest and did not touch your heart. Uncle Sam Says Raising C apons.

Go After I Rheumatism Get ANTI-URIC »t Sherman Sl McConnell Drug Stores j Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and No body Will Know. _ The use of sage and Sulphur for j restoring faded, gray hair to its na- j tural color dates back to grand- ■ mother's time. She used It to keep ' her hair eabutifully dark, glossy and ! attractive. Whenever her hair took | on that dull, faded or streaked ap- j pearance, this simple mixture was ap- , plied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home Is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- ; pound.'' you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition ; of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural co lor and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the. hair so naturally : and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the i gray hair disappears, and after an 1 other application or two, it becomes! beautifully dark and glossy. ADVERTISEMENT.
