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.

(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

speclnl feature Is an automatic ar

which can bo mnnlpulnted externally.
