A million-dollar Rlrl wit In nn ele Kant nutotuobllc, languidly holding a thoufennd-dnllnr parusol over bur head nnil llstonlnj? with forced attention to the VHpld chnttorlng of two dnndlfleil young sprigs of wealth. She mani fested n iitoat wciirlneH.i, an obvious toleration, concealed with some dlfll culty. Ilor chauffeur.. Btartcd up the ran chine at hpr word, and Miss Elvira Dutton sank hnclc upon the luxurious cushions with n tired sigh. Then, again halting hefore the Hhop of a faflhlonnhlc modiste, nhe handed tho chnuffeur a short list, which he dellv- crcd, and when he returned to the inn chine three girl friends were lined up nt tho curh conversing with the young' heiress. Arden Besley was forced to listen to the flhnllow nothings uttered by the chattering group. Then as the auto 1 again started up he heard Miss Dut ton utter a pettish, wearied exclama tion. It was tho first time he had driven the machine, having hqcn em ployed by John Moore, the uncle of Miss Dutton, tho day previous. The latter did not oven know his name, but she spoke pleasantly: "Will you kindly drive out of town ns far us you llko; I do not enro to return till Into afternoon. Do you know any restful, picturesque spot whero I can get away from thls-'-thls folly?" Arlen Besley bowed, marveling nt tho wondrous beauty of her face. "Tho old river roud winds In and out for forty miles," bo said. "There Is 1 beautiful prospect from tho bluffs near Vinton. Is that too far?" "Not at all." She sat back In the scat with closed eyes lifter that, und no further words were Bpokcn between them. When Ar- ' den Besley halted It was nt tho end of a rlso In the Inndscnpc. From tho apex of tho bluff Miss Dutton gazed upon a varied scene spread beforo her llko 11 panoruinu, Her eye3 were ra- , dlnnt. "Then I nm to go back to Vinton ' und come hero later?" questioned Atv den. 1 "If you please," sho responded, and her oyes took In his face with atten tion for the first moment. ' lie reported to Mr. Moore thatjio "was to go for Miss Dutton Into, in tho afternoon. At four o'clock Arden drovo bnck to the spot whero ho had left Miss Dutton. Sho was flushed, almost embarrassed, he funded. Her wraps wero nowhere In sight; slid handed him a Healed envelope. ' "You will deliver that to Mr. Moore, l please," sho said. "When ho questions t, you tell him I left you no Indication of where I was going. That Is all, and thank you." Sho flitted away without nndther word, leaving Arden fnlrly stupefied, IIu felt sure thtit tlic.su abrupt orders covered some strnngo action on the part of Miss Dutton. Mr. Moore ciuea tloncd him closely when, with a star tied face, he read the letter. IIo asked In detail of tho mynterl&us trip. Then be looked decidedly ungry. Ills Hps closed tightly. "You need say nothing of this lncl dent to others," ho observed. Arden iiliw no more of Miss Dutton. Uer name was not mentioned In tho house. Another young lady had appeared and casually Arden learned that whim slcal, purse-proud John Mooro hud chosen Miss Dutton ' us his heiress, that nftcr six months of hluh-school llhj she hud written him, tired of tha ' 1 cdinm, hollow life of riches ulone, and thnt ho bud chosen 11 new heiress, At tho end of two months Arden Besley gave up hla position ns chauf feur. It had been ussumcd only to keep from being Idle during the sum mcr vacation. IIo was principal of a school and must new return to his rcg ulnr duties i(t Bortonvlllc, fifty mllea (list ant," whero ills mother and slstci kept house for him. It wus his sister Leilu who met him nt tho dbpot with a warm wclcoma and tho words: "I have something to tell you before ) wo go home. It Is n strung story," and these wero its details: Two mouths previous Miss Dutton hnd ap peared at their homo near tho bluffs, nskinir for 11 meal. Somethlhir in tho neat, cheerful bid house hud uttractedl her, her two hostesses, humble, mod est and hospitable, had charmed her. Sho told them she hud been n shcool teacher and hnd been taken from that position to become tho heiress of John Moore. Tho experiment hnd shown her tho hollowness of tho new llfo Into which sho hnd been ushered. Sho asked leavo to become a boarder until school began again, hoping to socuro a teacher's position. "Wo know thnt you had secured a position with Mr. Moore," proceeded Leila, "and had -been her chuuffeur, but we decided to say nothing of thnt Sho did not know your name, but sho has waited nnxlouuly, hoping thnt you can uso your influeuco to nequro her tho position Bho desires." There was mutuul embarrassment when those two met, but It was of brief duration.

The Poor Excuse Series Poor Excuse No. 1. "I bought bondB while tho war was on; now my duty is toward my fam ily nnd my business." la that 807 The war was fought to protect your family and your business, and now you convict yourself of In gratitude by refusing to lend to pay for that projection. ' Poor Excuse No. 2. "Let tho banks tako tho loan; thoy'vo got money." Yes, they have money. They have your money nnd your neighbor's and your neighbors neighbors money. These deposits In banks must take tho loan. Tho loaning surplus In banks must be counted upon to keep busi ness going. All tho baqks In America couldn't float the loan with their own money. Poor Excuse No. 3. "Tho bonds of fonnor Liberty Loans aro bolow par. I can't buy notes on a down market." What do you care what the bond market Is if tho Government promises to pay you par at maturity? Did the Yanks fall to fight because they wero below par Jn the estimation of tho enemy? No. They proved themselves bove par when everything was against them. Poor Excuse No. 4. "I am not ricli and I might havo to sou my Victory Llborty note at a eacrlfico some time." All you could possibly sacrifice by buying all the notes you could buy and selling them at a loss couldn't be classed as a real sacrifice when com pared with that made by the boys who fought for you. Don't let a returned wounded soldier hear you make that plea. Poor Excuse No. S. "I'll not subscrlbo to tho Victory Llborty Loan. I might need my money tff tin nmnrtrnnnv ' I for an omorgoncy Emergency, eh? The war Itself was an emergency. If it hadn't been won for you .that would have been your real emergency. Poor Excuse No. 6. "Tho Loan? Oh, tho war cost too much money. Thero was waste Did you ever know of a hurried Job without waste? We got Into the war with a standing start Everything had to be rushed. We are not a na tlon that practlcod war every day. Prices wero already high from war In fluences. The Government had to spend money and do it quickly. But the waste of money, if it was waste, produced an ond of war which saved tho lives of 100,000 soldiers who would have found graves in France If the war had lasted another six months. Do you call that waste? Poor Excuse No. 7. ' "I'm oxhaustod with war work." So were the boys who fought But they didn't stop. They weren't quit- ters. Andthelrs was real war work. Poor Excuse No. 8. , , "I understand some of tho monoy of tho Loan la to pay contracts for munitions wo nover used. I don't like to pay for 'dead borao',!" You are the,' man who would havo the tailor make a suit of winter clothes to your measure and then re fuse to pay for It becauso the weather turned unexpectedly warmer. Poor Excuse No. 9. "Makers of munitions aro wealthy men. Lot them carry tho bunion of tho Loan. Then you would refuso to pay your grocery bills because your grocer owns his home while you rent Never mind. Tho wealthy men are sweating great drops of perspiration over their In come tax and their war profits tax. They know thero has been a war. and they're being asked to subscribe to the Loan, too. Poor Excuse No. 10. "I bollovo tho Qovornmont shouldn't havo contracted for so much Btifft in advance. I'd bo willing to subscrlbo to pay for material we had used." Oh, that's It? Then you would pay the doctor who attends your sick babv only in. case the baby dies, and you wouldn't pay for medicine that cured the baby unless the medicine was all used. Poor.Excuse No. 11. "But I havon't tho cash Just now to lond." Then lend your credit. Tho soldier gave up his present and even mort gaged his future. Ho gave for Vou and now you balk at lending your credit for him. Whero Is your pa trlotlsm? Poor Excuse No. 12. "Oh, I'm patriotic, ail right. I gave to tho Red Cross and tho Y. M. C. A. and subscribod to tho loans. But that was while tho wur waa on." Which Is an acknowledgment that, In religion,, you would pray only when In trouble and not give thanks when delivered from the trouble; that In business you would burn up your energy In making money and then Meavo rolls of bills lying in your desks throughout the year; that you would sell Qoodt but not deliver them; that, domestically, you would be gallant to the girl while courting her and be a brute to hr throughout married life. Your patriotism will not hold water, You cheer tho Flag only when it Is In danger. , The House Boat By SADIE ESTELLE BALCOM (Coprifht, 1919. bt Wtittrn Nwipper Colon.) vile wus tlilnklng of Thedu Wayne ns he walked along the shore of tho great spreading river, and as he re called the change a month had made In her, Albion Morton was truly sor rowful. All tho brightness of her na ture Hccmed to have languished when her old futher died. IIo had been u confirmed Invalid, a great care to her, but tiie loving devotion she exerted through live years in Ills behalf hud obscured nil other Interests. Then when tho reaction cainc It seeined us though all the props ofllfc were sud denly removed, and Tlieda collapsed like nn overburdened being worn out and wenry to the limit. WUli the death of Mr. Wayne there expired the pension which, with what Thedn could sell of their small gar den produce, hnd kept their heads Just above water. They did not own "the little plnco where they lived. Theda could not hope to continue the lease and make u living, so she sold on" the few poor sticks of furniture left, nnd we.pt to nn old muid relative who lived a mile down the river roud, Lu clndn Noyes. Miss Noyes was over GO, fragile and poor, had a small income from a trust Investment, could scarcely afford to spare n room or n meal, but sue voi untnrlly proffered shelter' to her half niece. "We'll manage some way, dear," sho said. "It's crowded In these three little rooms I occupy, but we'll try to get nlong. You mustn't worry be yond thnt for the present, child. You nro so nenr n breakdown that It's n question if even nursing nnd rest will help you, but we'll try. For one good long month you mustn't lift your An ger, not even think." Theda smiled listlessly aud declared she would be nil Tight In n day or t bnt bcfore ux eml of tne first . 1 week In her new home she was In bed nnd likely to stny there for some time to come. The village doctor shook his' head solemnly, und left some medicine and tho grewsome de cision: 'Change, of scene nnd climate, Miss Noyes, is nil that will do Tlieda uny good." The gentle hearted spinster told Al bion Morton of this with tears In her eyes.. Albion was an Independent fisherman ond pearl gatherer nlong tho Iowa shore of the greut Father of Waters, owned a aback, some boats nnd u river equipment, nnd for a yenr hnd once a week come around to see Theda and her futher. Mr. Wayne hud been a greut render. Albion hnd an ambition for n better education, and the old man and hla books became n great help to him. Then admiration, friendship nnd finally love for Theda had becomo a new allurement. He was a clean-minded, modest young fel low, gave no outwnrd evidence of his nffection far Thedu, but when Mr, Wayne died was a great comfort to, Theda, 'for ho took many of the cures. of tho occasion from her tired shbul dors. Miss Noyes had told. Albion of the doctor's report, and Inter as ho went down tho river shore Albion's cleat face betrayed n deep anxiety. It seemed ns though ho must stand helplessly by nnd see Thedn fade Away, day by dny. Like himself povcrtv bound her to nn environment from which she could not escape. As to Albion even the meager living he was assured could not bo risked through an experi mental change. "No thoroughfare" the future seemed to read. Albion wus Immersed in despondent thoughts when a cry aroused him. Three hundred yards distant nn or dlnnry house bout was moored. On its deck a man of middle age, getting nbout with a crutch, wus struggling to free himself from the grasp of n rough looking fellow whom Albion al once recognized as one of tho numer ous river, thieves of the district. - The letter swung a heavy iron bai nnd denlt the cripple a terrific blow, nnd as his victim snnk to the deck senseless, stooped over him to rifle his pockets. A shout from Albion caused him to hasten uwny with his booty Then when Albion renclied tho strick en man nil he thought of was hit resuscitation It took two days nursing to bring Wade Burnhnm, as the cripple wu named, back to normnl condition. Ail the tlmo Albion was his patient, help ful nurse. Tho grateful man on hit way to a little truck farm ho hud traded for on the river below New Orleans, ncqulrcd a great liking fot Albion. He asked him to loin hire and ho would share his holdings wltb him. It enmo about that Albion spoke ol tbo offer to Miss Noyes. Then' one day he could not resist telling Thedn of his great love for her. From thai moment a new Joy cuuic Into her life, They woro married and then began a honeymoon on tho tloatlnir home, end Ing up nt tho pretty cottage that stood lu tho centdr of the Burnhnm farm. "Oh, what a paradise !" murmured Theda, ns she stood upon the vc rnndu of the beautiful homo surround' ed by flowers, and sunshine, and Bweet singing birds, nnd their Eden life be gun, never to pall or wear in thai rare spot where beauty, and peace and plenty wero nssured.
