Millions Thrown Away
by Wasteful Methods
now much water Is wasted by n
dripping tap? An answer was provid
ed when New York decided to levy
a fine of two dollars for every tap
found leaking. In two years 40.000,
©00 gallons of water wore saved. It
gcoms absurd to worry about the
•mount of steam wasted when a lo
comotive blows a whistle. But Doc
tor Foley of Indiana university lm«
calculated that 2,481,026 tons of coal
are consumed annually In generating
steam to blow United States locomo
tive whistles, and that if the* whis
tles were moved slightly forward
and ndnpted to a single high-pitched
note, more than 1,000,000 pounds a
year could be saved. But this los«
Is small compared with that Involved
In throwing Into the dustbin cinder#
that would still give a lot of heat. It
Is estimated that a third of the cin
ders thrown away retain from 00 to
70 jter cent of their heating value.

THE
FORBIDDEN YEARS
by
WADSWORTH CAMP
Barbara continued to stare,
strove to believe it. Slocum
ushered the tea in just then,
and nothing was said until
«he had retreated, her stout
face tortured with inquisitive
ness. Barbara drew nearer the
tea table. Her hand unsteady i
as she passed Mrs. Twining
her cup of tea. On her part
Mrs. Twining accepted the cup
without emotion.
“.Well, what do you say?"
"I don’t know what to say,
except that it makes me very
happy you should want me
that way. I don’t deserve it.” ,
She couldn’t keep her voice
steady either. Mrs. Twining
spoke with thin sarcasm.
“Perhaps you didn’t al
together deserve the notices
you got this morning, yet you
want to accept the doubtful
| career they hold out.”
“I know, I know, because
there’s nothing else for me to
do.”
Blindly she rose, stooped
over the old lady, and kissed
her.
"Thank you. It makes me
happier than I have even been
that you should want me after
what’s happened.”
The lines of Mrs. Twining’s
face tightened.
"Then you’ll make me happy
by coming.”
Barbara sighed.
“If I only could!”
Mrs. Twining Jerked her
head towards a near-by foot
stool.
“Bring that over and sit
down. You won’t want your
tea until we’ve settled this.”
And when Barbara had
Obeyed and sat close, she said
sharply:
"If you only could! Why
can’t you?”
Barbara clasped her hands
around her knees, and still
trying to appreciate all the
offer meant, regarded the
deserted tea table.
"I’ve told you. My work."
Even the gleaming tea table
seemed to twinkle knowingly
at that. Mrs. Twining’s hard
knuckles tapped Barbara’s
head impatiently.
"Don’t try to hoodwink me.
What’s the other reason, the
real one?”
Barbara’s head went lower,
i “The same reason that made
me run away.”
Mrs. Twining mused.
“Youthful doubts and
troubles! They make a home,
! but sometimes they also
destroy it.”
She seemed to find it hard
to go on. At last she said
slowly:
"I shan't advise you. I’m
afraid to advise; it’s so much
your own problem; but I can
chide you for trying to shape
your life to the measurements
of a temporary and unsound
Infatuation.”
Barbara’s clasp of her knees
tightened.
Temporary and unsound!
Mrs. Twining would think that,
and probably she was right.
| “If I advised you at all,” the
sharp voice went on, “I’d tell
I you to put such thoughts out
J of your mind, to come to me,
to concern yourself with people
a little fitter for you.”
The trouble was she wasn’t
fit for Gray.
“So you did guess all along,
yet you never asked anything,
even after the smash.”
Momentarily Mrs. Twining’s
eyes wavered.
“I’m not In the habit of
wasting breath. Don’t let’s
speak of that again. It’s over
—fortunately, on the whole, I
believe. I used to like that
young man. I don’t any more.
Selfishness Is an abomination
In others. I dare say some
people think I’m the selfishe'st
Royal Families Broke.
From Toledo Blade.
King Boris of Bulgaria refused s
loan offered by Bulgarian bankers
to relieve the depression t^.at tw
hit the royal family. He Is 'deter
mined to share the country’s pov
erty and not Increase the burden of
the taxpayers" A splendid gesture.
And so a royal family is broke.
Hie queen mother, the queen and
one princess have had to cancel
orders for new Paris gowns and
haven’t a thing “to go out in." But
If there must be poverty, why
i shouldn’t royalty feel the pinch of
j It as well as the bumble?
I UBC OMWI ttfiWtly f)?u:
t
animal in the world. They’re
wrong.”
Barbara was glad to have
Gray out of it. It hurt to talk
about him, to remember her
lying letter that had turned
his love to distaste. She
hurried on before Mrs. Twin
ing could change her mind.
• ‘ That wasn’t the only reason
I left, or the only one that
would make it uncomfortable
to come back. You advised me
just now to concern myself
with people a little fitter for
me. The very afternoon I ran
off I heard your niece tell you
I wasn’t fit to have around.”
For several moments Mrs.
Twining was rigid, then she
burst out angrily:
“And you left me because
of Esther’s unasked opinion?
Then understand. My house is
my own. It isn’t Esther’s or
Lyon’s or Martha’s. In it I do
as I please, I have whom I
choose. You can’t make me
believe it was your conscience
Esther hit.”
Swept by impulse, Barbara
turned and looked straight up
at the old lady. She had a
right to know after her ex
traordinary offer that must
have been dictated by a deep
interest, a genuine affection.
“But I heard her say some
thing else, something dread
ful about my mother, which,
if true, might have made her
right in saying I wasn’t fit—”
Mrs. Twining’s hard fingers
grasped Barbara’s shoulder,
and pressed until they hurt.
“Don’t say anything about
your mother. I don’t care to
know. It’s you I care for. And
don’t believe everything
Esther says. She, too, is su
premely selfish."
Barbara placed her head on
Mrs. Twining’s knees.
“I think she’d been making
inquiries about me, finding
out things I’ve never been able
to find out myself. So you see
it was partly my conscience,
because I don’t know anything
about my mother. I don’t even
know who she wfas, So I don’t
know who I am, whether Nor
cross is really my name. I
didn’t want her telling people
things like that, things that
I didn’t know about at all.”
Mrs. Twining’s grasp was
very tight, but Barbara wasn’t
conscious of it, yet she heard
and obeyed the harsh com- ,
mand.
“Keep quiet. Not another
word. Don’t let us ever recur
to this subject unless we have
to.”
“But you wouldn’t want me
unless you knew who I was.”
“Don’t tell me what I want
and don’t want. One thing I
know. I shan’t have you yet
awhile. No use arguing. Your
norrow egoism, call it con
science if you like, which you
must have acquired in Elm
ford, would beat me.”
Barbara thought of her Aunt
Barbara Gardner, stern, con
stricted, secretive, probably,
about the very things Esther
had found out, and that Bar
bara didn’t know. Doubtless
Barbara’s conscience had been
molded by Mrs. Gardner, who
more and more seemed a per
sonification of all the back
wardness and conservatism of
Elmford; and she wondered if
I Mrs. Twining wasn’t secretly
i glad of it after her confession.
The hard hand left Barbara’s
i shoulder.
“Go back to your tea now,
and let me have mine, while
we talk about this silly con
tract. Don’t sign it. Leave
yourself free to accept my
offer whenever you change
your mind.”
Barbara rose, and went
wearily back to the tea table.

"I don’t see how I can
honestly change my mind.”
Apparently Mrs. Twining
didn’t hear.
“Make any temporary ar
rangement.”
“I’m going to talk it over
with Harvey Masters to
night.”
Mrs. Twining approved.
“He’ll advise you as I have,
and perhaps selfishly, too.
He’s a sensible young man.
Lyon tells me he’s a coming
one. And let me know when
you’ve decided. Come here and
tell m Your conscience will
let you do that at least.”
“Yes,” Barbara said. “I’ll
come and tell you.”
“And now something about
yourself. I haven’t heard much
since Esther ran you off.”
“It wasn t altogether her,
Mrs. Twining.”
The old eyes smiled.
“But we weren’t to talk
about that for a while. 1 want
to know about you, where
you’ve been living, how.”
Barbara told her of the
rooming house and her hap
hazard life. Mrs. Twining dis
approved.
“Now I can advise. Hunt up
a small apartment, not too
far from your work, and sub
let it for the winter.”
“Those things are expensive,
and if the play should fail—”
“The play won’t fail, or if
it does there are ways out.
You must have a place where
you can be your own mistress,
where you can have your own
meals, with one maid at least.
I’ll get Steve to look into it.”
Barbara was cautious.
Mrs. Twining was inflexible.
“Steve will have a list for
you to-morrow. He’s in touch
with a lot of real-estate
people.”
Their parting was con
strained, embarrassed. Bar
bara kissed her, held her
shoulders for a moment, said
“Thanks” again, and went out.
Yes, she reflected, probably
Mrs. Twining was very grate
ful, after her confession, that
she had an Elmford con
science..
The performance went well
that evening for a second
night, and Rulon congratu
lated her after the last cur
tain, and Hackey came back,
waylaid her on her way to her
dressing room, and sneered:
“Talked it over with the
shysters yet?”
She shook her head and Ru
lon grinned doubtfully.
“Here comes the chief am
bulance chaser now.”
Harvey strolled through the
stage door, and Rulon
grumbled.
“That means no supper to
night, Barbara."
“I'm afraid it does. I want
to make up my mind as soon
as I can. I won’t keep you
waiting long, Mr. Hackey.
Probably to-morrow.”
“I hope I’ll change my mind
before to-morrow just to put
you in your place.”
Harvey over supper was as
earnest as Mrs. Twining in
begging her not to bind herself
for so long a period, and she
ooked at him, very well under
standing his selfish motive.
Naturally he wanted her to be
free if she should decide to
give him his desire. Why not
give it to him now? Why not
make Harvey happy since she
couldn't foresee any happi
ness for herself? He grasped
her hand beneath the table.
“Why sign anything? Let me
take care of you.”
She fought the instinct to
free her hand while he mur
mured about his progress
downtown. Even though she
had heard Steve’s and Lyon
Helder’s opinion, she was
amazed at the extent of Har
vey’s success.
“Drop the stage. Come to
me, Bobbie. Everything I’ve
done, and mean to do, is for
you.”
Her laugh was broken.
“Is this a proposal, Harvey?
It sounds like a business
deal.”
He freed her hand and
grasped her arm. In his stern
face flashed all his desire.

talk to you. Bobble. Too
haven’t forgotten the night
you said it made you unhappy
even to have me touch you ”
His quick emotion died.
“And here I’ve been touch
ing you—too soon.”
“Don’t go back to that Har
vey. Please don’t. It makes me
ashamed.”
He smiled confidently.
“I’m perfectly sure you
won’t always hate my touch
ing you.”
"Please don’t, Harvey. Please
don’t keep reminding me of
that.”
In spite o* herself she ex
perienced a quick relief when
ue let her arm go. No, the mo
ment hadn’t come yet when
.'.ue could offer him happiness
unough her grief. And his
quite confidence made her
uneasy.
“Even as things are I’m go
ing to look after you all I can.
I’m going to see no harm
comes to you.”
She didn’t want his guard
ianship. It frightened her. It
could very well make trouble
with Rulon. It had too many
threatening implications.
“Let me go my own way,
Harvey.”
He shook his head.
“I shall watch the way you
go. About this contract for
instance. Why not slip in the
loophole of a month’s notice
on either side? Of course he’d
want your guarantee not to
work for anyone else if you
exercised your option.”
She made a wry face.
“I guess I’m a coward. Then
he could throw me out any
time he pleased.”
“The important point is,”
Harvey said, "you could throw
yourself out, and I honestly
don’t think, if you improve at
all, he’ll exercise his right.”
She thought of Rulon and
was doubtful, but she wanted
to take his advice and Mrs.
Twining’s. She sighed.
“All right, A month’s notice.
That will be my ultimatum.
Now you must let me go home,
Harvey.”
On the way to the rooming
house he was almost happy.
“I’ve an idea life will simp
lify itself for us before long.”
She couldn’t share his faith.
To her life seemed increas
ingly complex, more than ever
vulnerable to disturbing
threats.
Steve the next day sent her
by messenger a list of small
apartments for sub-lease, and
enclosed a note informing her
he would be at Mrs. Twining’s
for a late tea.
“If you care to drop in, and
tell me what you’ve settled
on, I’ll take the formalities of
the lease off your hands. I
think, too, that Adelaide
would like to know what sort
of a den you choose.”
So she put Hackey off until
night, and devoted the after
noon to the exhausting task
of home hunting, shrinking
from the dinginess of some
habitations, and drawing fear
fully from the prices asked
for more congenial ones. By
5 o’clock she had determined
on two rooms, a bath, and a
kitchenette in the upper Fif
ties. The apartment faced a
court, but it was comfortably
furnished, and was In a com
paratively new building. As
long as her salary went on
she could afford it, but if any
thing happened to that, if the
play closed, or Hackey gave
her a month’s notice, she
didn’t see how she could meet
the rent, for she had very lit
tle left of the money she had
saved while with Mrs. Twin
ing.
Tired, and worried over
what she was doing, she re
ported at Mrs. Twining’s.
Steve was with the old lady in
her sitting room, and prom
ised to hav* everything ar
ranged so that she could take
possession the next day.
“Moving will be no great ex
ertion. I can carry all I’ve got
with me in a taxicab.”
Mrs. Twining didn’t like her
renting so small a place.

**Lucile is the
Happiest Girl**
So many mothers
nowadays talk about
giving their children
fruit Juices, as if
this were a new dis
covery. As a matter
of fact, for over fifty
years, mothers have
been accomplishing
results rar surpassing anytmug you
can secure from home prepared fruit
Jniees, by using pure, wholesome Cal
tfornia Fig Syrup, which is prepared
under the most exacting laboratory
supervision from ripe California
Figs, richest of all fruits in laxative
and nourishing properties.
It's marvelous to see how bilious,
weak, feverish, sallow, constipated,
under-nourished children respond to
its gentle influence; how their breath
clears up, color flames in their
cheeks, and they become sturdy,
olayful, energetic again. A Western
notber, Mrs. H. J. Stoll, Valley I*. O.,
Nebraska, says: “My little daughter,
lomu Lucile, was constipated from
abyhood. 1 became worried about
ner and decided to give her some
California Fig Syrup. It stopped her
constipation quick; and the way It
Improved her color and made her
nick up made me realize how run
town she had beeD. She is so sturdy
>nd well now, and always In such
:ood humor that neighbors say she’s
the happiest girl in the West.”
Like all good things, California Fig
Syrup ts Imitated, but yon can at
