The White Year By OT1LLIA FRANCES PFEIFFER (Ckpjrlght, 1016, bj WMtern Newipiptr Cnloi.) At the nc ot twenty-two, acting un dcr nn Impetuous Impulse he could not restrnln, Walter Merrill wroto a let ter to the girl ho lovetl, confessing his direction and miking Hint she nwnrd lilm happiness or licnrtbrenk accord ing ns she rcclprocnted his fervent de votion or did not, us tho ense might be. There enmo no reply. As If ut terly disdainful of his plen, he learned that Myrtle Pnrr had started away on n visit to u relative at sonic distance. Merrill was n being of deep sensitive ness. Ho vanished completely from ftnyvlllo and his motive and where hboufs beenmo n mystery to his for mer friends. . Ills gloomy faco made no new friends, his half-hearted Interest In seeking employment discouraged at tention. Very soon his surplus money ftas gone. Idleness led to dissipation. IIo snnk lower nnd lower, and at tho end of a fow months was u street wan derer nnd his companions men of reck less mold. Ills eyes wero bleared, his clothing in tatters, his gait unsteady, as ono day crossing n street tho shnrp tdpt 'of nn nutomobllo horn caused him to look up. Two ladles In tho machlno wero agonlzcdly screaming to their chauffeur. Directly In tho path of tho uuto a little child wus rolling her doll carriage. Morrill miulo a. leup. Not a second too soon ho snatched tho imperiled child from her position, swung her spinning to one side, nnd himself stumbled and fell. 'Thoro was a contact, dull and dead ly, and Merrill disappeared undqr tho !o'y of tho vciilclo. Then ns It backed 1)0 lay In a pool of blood, his face brulaed and cut, his eyes closed and his body rigid. It was like n transition Into a new sphere to tho Injured man to recovor ecnslbill.ty nmld comfort and cleanli ness. Ho was alono In bod In n huff darkened room, but (ho door commu nicating with tho adjoining apnrtmcnt was ajar and ho could discern that Bovcrnl persons wero thoro. A feminine volco spoke, gentlo and finite anxious. "He will live, doctor?" It Intoned. "Oh, yes, there Is nothing wrong of n serious nature outside of tho lower part of both limbs." "IIo enn benr removal to a hos pital" began the doctor. "No," spoke Miss Altlten Dnrrow, nnd the negative was enforced strong ly by her slater, Murcln. "Wo owo to this man not only money repara tion, but sympathy and enro. IIo Is poor, perhaps homeless. Sister und I .will glvo him a home until ho has en tirely recovered." " Somo new emotions camo to Walter Merrill as he heard himself thus com mended, no learned that tho two spinsters were ladles with menns, given to deeds of charity. They lived well, and ns ho got about In nn Invalid's chair, a room on tho ground floor was fitted up for him. Dally ho was wheol cd out Into tho garden. Kvory body seemed glad to bo of help to him. Kindness toned down his ruggednesa nnd reckless Indifference. At first, until his Injured limbs re covered their original strength Merrill nctcd as chauffeur for his thought ful patronesses. Then his quick In telligence recommended him to them for a trustworthy position of looking nftcr their proporty. IIo attended to rents nnd repairs, nnd nothing was pleasanter than tho frequent trips from plnco to place, nnd very often tho little child whoso llfo ho had saved was his welcome companion. Ono day Walter Merrill never nfter wnrrt forgot that eventful occasion on n business mission ho camo within a fow miles of IJayvllle. Tho tempta tion to seo tho old town was lrroslst lble. IIo wns driving tho machlno slowly down a troo-shaded strcpt, when n lad of about sixteen abruptly darted from tho sldownlk, shouting his name. ; "Qh, Mr. Merrill I" ho hnllod. "Plenso please, Just a moment." Then ho ndded breathlessly: "Oht you must cpmo to our houso right away. 'Allco wants to seo you, and at onco." Merrill well remembered Allco Wayne. Slto had always ovlnced a predilection for his compnny, but lovo lip had never thought of. Morrill won dered nt tho earnestness of tho ex alted lad. Ho drove (ho mnchlno to ,tho Wnyno home. Ills guldo led him. into tho house. Morrill was shocked 'as ho saw upon a couch tho girl who had been a blooming beauty when last ho hnd seen her. Dlscnso and suffer- ing hnd wnsted her away, und death was in her face, i An Infinite relief wns expressed in that wan faco as Allco Wayno clusped tho hand of Merrill fervidly. Sho'sont her brother from tho room. Thon 'camo a contosslon that amazed her .visitor. Allco confessed that sho hail destroyed a letter Myrtlo had given her to mall, tho "hon-urrlynl of which had started him upon tlio downward path. When a fatal disease had over cpmo her sho had lyiffored from In Icredlblo remorse. SJio had sent for Myrtlo and had confessed tho truth. (Now, with feeblo breath sho Insisted on sending for her girl friend thnt tho great wrong sho ha3 wrought should lie mended. I All nlong Myrtle Farr had loved and taiourned for Morrill, nis confession Bfton brought about a porfoct undor- 'etanuing. ite.ueqineu vy ins "vnito year." Myrtlo Farr had no fear to dd Jtor her from trusting her happiness to ls loving carp. - , .J A Runaway By VERA BLANCHE DORR I (Oopjrliht, 1B1B, bj Wtnttn Ntmpiptr Uili.) He had not spoken und Dora Morton had broken her spell of bondage nnd her chance of happiness by acting rashly but definitely. Ho wns Husscll Ulnko and Dora loved him. Had Wnko dronmed of tho truth for a single mo ment he would have lost no tlmo in telling her of his undying devotion. Uccausc he feared to be presumptuous nnd because he hoped 10 win her re gard by giving her time to make up her mind consistently, ho had been friendly but respectful, attentive but reticent us to the real state of his feelings. Itussell IJIako did not know that, while on the surfaco Abel Wllde, tho guardian of Dora, was suave, smiling and did not particularly resent his frequent calls upon his charming young ward, tho hypocrite was persecuting her In a way that aroused all tho spirit that was within her. Dora had a llttlo fortune coming to her and Abel Wllde wns trustee for tho same. IIo nlso hnd a son, Hartley, whom tie was determined to marry to Dora. Pho' was as resolute In n contrary di rection. When she hnd fully discerned the purpose of her guardian sho stren uously objected to ncccpt IJnrtley Wllde ns a suitor. Then thero wns war. Abel Wllde, cruelly persistent, faced her with his absolute control of her means nnd her actions until sho wns 21. IIo threatened to send her to a private seminary whero sho would bo under tyrant rule, nwny from friends nnd nwny from Wnko. "ncard the nows?" n friend asked of Wnko one morning. "What about?" queried tho young lawyer. "Dora Morton hnS run away from homo. Old Wilde kept It quiet for half a week, but the fact has leaked out. Thero wns n terrific family row, n household servant says. That old bnrbarlan threatened to lsolnto Dora like a nun nnd his gawky son Insisted sho should mnrry him forthwith. Then tho housekeeper locked Dora In her room, but during tho night sho mndo her oscopo from nn upper window. Thojr hnvo been trying to trnco her ever since, but sho bus left no trail bohlnd her." Of course Ulnko was disturbed ; more than that, anxious nnd upset. IIo knew of the plot of tho Wildes to force tho young heiress to comply with their wishes. Tho Impulse wns strong with Illnkc to license the old schemer to his face of his plotful turpitude, but It wns not tho part of policy to do so. IJIako controlled his latent rngo and Indignation, mot Abel Wllde In a ens uul way and sought to gain somo hint ot tho possible wherenbouts of his vnnlshod love. In this ho wns unsuc cessful, but he wns certain that Dora hnd fled of her own volition. Ulako made diligent Inquiry nmong Dora's girl friends, but gained no In dication of nny distant refuge to which nho might hnvo fled. IIo wns sentcd In his office ono afternoon, unablo to con centrate his thoughts upon nny sub ject save tho fact of Dora's vanish ment, when tho telephone boll rang IIo took up the receiver to bo In formed that It was a long dlstnnco call. Thero was n brief lapse nnd then n voice that thrilled him enmo over the wire. "Dora I" ho breathed, his soul In nn Instant aflame. "Is this Mr. Ulnke?" spoke the ills tnnt voice. "I am Dora Morton. You have been my good friend nnd I wished you to know, nnd to tell other friends that I shall not return to Ferndnle, think you know tho reason why." "Uut whero aro you? Impetuously inquired lUulce. "No, no I must not tell you. I hnvo nn opportunity to go as nurso to n lndy who Is to llvo In California. Good by, nnd thank you " "Over tho top, hurrah I I'm n Yank I Rah! rah I rah!" Jangled In nn nmnzlng Interrup tion. IJIako realized that tho accents wero thoso of n pnrrot. Wlro com mnnlcntlon was cut off, and he stood In a maze, his senses vibrating with sentient emotions of longing, disap pointment nnd uncertainty, commin gled. Then ho nroused himself to act with necessary celerity. IIo phoned central, asked tho sourco of the call nnd learned that It had como from Staunton. Had Ulnko been less stirred up nnd anxious ho might have endenv- ored to secure tho number of the phono sending tho message, but tho fact thnt ho hud located tho city whoro Dorn wns seemed sufficient as a hopeful . starting point. Bioko reached Staunton thnt after noon. Two facts wero within his clear understanding: Dorn was hi hiding Botifawhero In that plnco, tho house from vllch sho had phoned hnd n Pfirrot. His only nnxlcty now wns that Dora might start on her proposed trip as n nurso before ho had tlmo to lo cal o her. ft at,o favored him most auspiciously. Chancing to pass a bird storo ho wns soon engaged in conversation with Its proprietor. Tnrrots wero not common In Staunton. Ho had furnished all four ol tho only ones ho knew of In tho town. "Tho ono you aro Inquiring about, lie told TUnke, "must bo tho patriotic pit of a widow lady, Mrs. DnYton," attd ho gnvo her address. And there tho persistent lover found Dora. DlaUo did not hold back his sen ttmcnts now. Ho had only to tell Dora' of his lovo to hnvo her content to rturn to Ferndalo as his wife. Redeemed Br WALTER JOSEPH DELANEY - - (Oepjrliht. 1010, br WMtern Ktwipiptr Union.) Robert Leeds, self-contained old business veteran, relaxed from his usu al severity of facial expression nnd tone whenever he dictated n Jotter to Miss Davis, the lnad stenographer of the great business establishment ho dominated. Somehow she wns different from tho nvernge run of typewriters. "She doesn't pound tho keys ns If she wero hnndllng a hammer," observ ed Mr. Leeds to his manager. "Then again she doesn't wear bunches of hnlr over her cars, and therefore never has to have a sentence repeated to her." Then, too, the pleasant, but digni fied young woman In question had de veloped a co-operating business enpa blllty that nroused the profoundest np preclatlon of her employer. It hnd pleased him to recounlzo how quickly sho had uccommodnted herself to her new environment, how speedily sho learned the system of the establish ment. Sho took n real Interest In all tho routine of business, dull us It wns, and ono day. nmazed her employer by pointing out a dlsi-repnncy In somo nc counts, wh'lch led to tho discovery that n group of employees wero systemntl colly robbing him. It led to tho sub stitution of more trustworthy men nnd a permanent stoppage of a leak In the profits of tho business. Mr. Leeds hud dictated sevcrirl let ters to n traveling salesman who hnd charge of what was known ns tho Chnrlestown district, complaining of his Inability to produco an much busi ness ns ho hnd formerly turned In. Tho snlcsmnn had become resentful nnd resigned In the midst of n busy senson. Mr. Leeds fumed nnd fretted, advertised for n snlesmnn, but nono of the nppllcnnts wns acceptable. "Mr. Leeds," sold Nina one dny, In her quiet nnd Impressive wny, "I think I might help you out of your dilemma. I have a u relative at Charlestown, a very rellablo and estlmnblc young man, nnd If you enro to try him I think ho will bo able to hold your business In tho district." I think It due to you nfter your demonstration of business nblllty In tho past to trust your good Judgment," responded Mr. Leeds. "It would bo a grent relief to me to have this bother somo matter off my hands." Nlnn's face wore a pecullnrly happy expression ns sho sat about typing a letter. Sho made surp no ono In the office got a glimpse of It. A fow days later sho spoko to Mr. Leeds about tho matter again. "I wroto to my my relntlve," sho said, "and gnvo his nnmc to the busi ness manager, who will send him sam ples nnd Instructions." "Vory good," nodded Mr. Leeds, nnd after that ho made It a custom to stop nt her desk ouch morning when ho camo In nnd speak a few plcnsnnt words to her. During twenty years hnrd, systematic dealings with his em ployees, she was tho first ono to penc trnto the crust of his stern, systematic nature. Alnn Uurt, tho new mnn In tho Charlestown district, mndo good from tho start. At the end of tho first month Mr. Leeds cnme.to Miss Dnvls with a pleased face. "Your relative has made n record, Miss Davis," he told her, nnd she her self seemed ns' delighted ns himself over the success of her "relative." A fow days later Mr. Leeds came to her late In tho afternoon. "Miss Davis," he spoko, "I have men tloned you n good mnny times' to Mrs Leeds, nnd sho hns directed mo to bring you home with mo to dinner. You know sho Is a confirmed Invnlld, nnd you will be conferring a pleasure upon both of u. Our home llfo Is n lonely one. We hnd n son, but never mind that " " nnd the tones grow tremulous. If tho business capability of Miss Davis had appealed to her employer, her gentlo ways nnd charming faco completely won his Invnlld wife. Ito- pcatedly Nina wns asked to tho Leeds home. Then cnnn the stnrtllng stnto- ment from Mr. Leeds ono dny. "Miss Davis, my wife wants you nnd needs you not ns a mere friend and companion, but ns ono of ourselves. Wo both lovo you. Will you become our ndopted dniiKhter?" You you must glvo mo tlmo to think over your kind, your very kind proposition," replied Nina breathlessly, tho tears filling hr eyes. Sho camo to him ngnl.n Inter In tho dny. "Mr. Leeds." sho said stondlly, but with an evident effort, "I hnvo a confession to make my being In your employ has been part of a plot. I am not Nlqn Davis. I am Nlnn Leeds, the wlfo of your son. llertrnm Leeds." Mr. Leeds stood spellbound. Sho went on: "Bertram nbnndoned nil his reckless ways when ho beenmo my husbnnd. IIo Is a new man and n good man, but not very fortunnto In a business way until you employed him ns your representative nt Charles town." "What I That Is that Is your 'rel ative, Alan Burt I' " A-n assumed name, like my own," confessed Nlnn. "Mr. Leeds lather for the sako of the longing lovo of your wife, our mother, tnko back tho boy who has seen the error of his ways arid craves forgiveness." Robert Leeds sat for a fow moments overcome by tho bowllderlng devel opments of tho occnslon. Then that strong spirit broke down. Ills fa.ee fell Into his outstretched arm' ns he uttered brokenly: "You have won his redemption. Yes, como both of you, to tho homo neatl" Submarine Signals. During tho war, ns is well known, submarine sound-slgnnltng mndo great strides. In Schlfflmu an account Is given of n device employed In Ger many. In this device the receiver Is secured to tho outer layer of the ship's hull from Inside nnd Is filled with wn tcr, the liquid being In contact with the outer plating of the vessel. The essential point In this de vice nppcars to be that the means for producing the sound nre placed ex ternally on the wall of the liquid tank, whereas In most cases tho sounding de vice hns hitherto been nrrnnged In side tho tank or receiver. Another speclnl feature Is an automatic ar rangement for maintaining constant, or adjusting, the level of the wnter, which can bo mnnlpulnted externally. Scientific American. Wrong Kind of Clothes. Little Jrngedlcs occur to the men who have to chronicle the larger ones. On Thursday evening our "special cor respondent" (arrayed In a silk hat and tho best morning costume) nrrlved to find his mission mennt the lnte train to Whitehaven nnd n plunge Into n burning mine. He telephoned nt onco for the prop er clothes, but the messnge must hnvo miscarried In the ear of the careful maid, who pneked up a valise of dress clothes and shirts for the mnn who wns to go down tho mine.
