CHEAP ADVICE!
Advice is one of the cheapest things in the world. It's as free as
the air. No matter what your troubles may be, just let it be
known and advice will come piling in.
The old maid knows how to rear children, the bachelor knows"
ust how a wlf should be handled, and even a bald-headed drujj:
gist can sell hair tonic and get away with it-but the advice you
seek, noLthe kind that is volunteered, Is the kind you want. Wc
are not a volunteer in the advice business, but if you are a patron
of ourbankjand ask advice on financial matters we will be glad
to help' you in any way we can. "' tj,

(, lKil('liy HcClurC Newjwapcr Syndicate)
I'oni brought his bride to the. little
subm'bun town where the Mlltons bud
lived ovdr since they cntne over, on one
of thofirst ships from Knglnnd. It
wna ii 'bliobblnh' little town, and from
tho fjnrt everyone said Tom's lutirringo
would tie" u t'lillure. For lie bad com
mitted the unpardonable sin of over
looking the marriageable girls In his
own-set and marrying n rani: outsider.
And' that wasn't nil. Tom had found
her 'doing a song and dunce act In a
cabaret. To the people In a small
town, where everyone bus always
known everyone else, tin outsider of
whom they know nothing always re
tnnlps more or less an outsider. But
to be an actress Into the bargain
placed Jean entirely outside the pnlo.
That the song and dance had been n
very good one, as well as Innocent and
clean, made no difference.
The young people opened up tho big
house and In duo time people called.
However, they were obliged to nd
mlt that the house was clean, and that
Tom seemed to be very well cared for
Indeed. Instead of helping Jean's case
this only served to antagonize them
the more, for everyone hates to be
proved In the wrong. No one ever
culled twice, for there seemed to be
an unspoken agreement nmong the
town ladles to slight Jean ns much as
possible.
Tom was a member of tho country
club, so ho took his bride to several
of the Saturday night dances, where
she was rather popular with the men.
Naturally she was a splendid dancer.
She was pretty, too, and men found
her the best of company. She would
have been Just as friendly and amus
ing with tho women, but they never
gnve her a chance. At first she thought
she could get along very nicely with
out the approval of the women, but
she soon found that the married men
no longer nsk'cd her for dances, and
even some of the younger ones began
to show tho Influence of mothers nnd
sisters. Of course It made Tom very
unhappy, for this was his "home town,"
nnd he Intended to spend a good many
years there. He spoke of It to Jean
Just once, for when he saw the hurt
look In her eyes he realized that after
nil It was harilest onher.
In the end Jean found that she real
ly didn't care whether they approved
of her or not, for deep In her heart sho
knew them for what they were. Tills
Is how It camo about:
It was n fearfully hot night In Au
gust, almost too hot to dance anyhow,
when sho and Tom arrived at the
club rather late. Jean walked Into
the dressing room, to find It crowd
ed with women. There was nothing
strange In that, for It was usually a
favorite resort between dances. JJut
there was something strange In the
way they were standing around whis
pering. Something In the atmosphere
suggested panic. As Jenn entered sho
hoard n whisper.
"She's been sick for n week and no
one has been near her but the doctor,
nnd be 'can't even get n nurse to take
the ca?e. M' dear, she's got "
The speaker saw Jean and turned
her back quickly, so the last word was
lost. Jean walked Into the room nnd
saw a girl sitting In a huge chair. Her
pretty face was ghastly and sho was
talking hysterically to the women
near her.
"I rode out from town with her tho
day she was taken ill," she was saying.
"My God, If I get It my face will bo
marked."
Her voice rose In a trembling cres
cendo and broke. Jean stared at her,
a look of horror slowly dawning In
her eyes. She turned and walked
quietly from tho room and stood for
a moment on tho veranda, contemplat
ing a search for Tom. Sho decided
against It because sho knew ho would
try to prevent what sho Intended to
do. She hurried home and changed
quickly Into more serviceable clothes.
She packed a bag and, leaving a note
on tho table for Tom, she stole out a
side, door and across the field to the
doctor's. She found him preparing to
go out and bis face was white and
tired.
"I am going out on an Important
case," he said, "so If you're not ter
' ribly HI I can't stop now.''
Jean explained her errand and over
came the doctor's resistance. He ex
pected the crisis that night and ho was
greatly in need of help, even as Inex
perienced as Jean's would be.
So ihe one-time cabaret performer
did what none of the "virtuous wires"
had th courage to do. There is no
need to tell of the terrible battle Jean
and, the docter waged against death.
They conquered and Jean stayed with
the 'woman until she was feble to care
for herself again. Of course, Tom
bad tried to get Jean home again, but
she waa In quarantine, so his efforts
were useless, even If she herself would
have consented to so.
When she finally did go back home
there was a look about her that fright
ened Tom. Her old ready smite set-
. dom lit up her- face and there was a
serenity in her bearing that aothlag
could ilftlffb- 'After seeing what that
ither wet0 had suffevdj her owa
troubles seemed petty. As Is the way
et the world, the women whose friend
hlit Jim had ence lonxed for flocked
anmad Mr when she no lo'ager cared,(
She was quite a heroine for a tMna.t
but ajl the pralue she received did no'

"Ho will be disappointed," tho molh' '

Ills voice changed to a harsher tone, .
"Father Is ruining his life and ours,"
ho snld, sternly. "Everything that is p

for your sake, btlt some day there'll .
be a mighty smash. There never ,was
a man who thought himself omnlpo- '
tent since tho days of Nebuchadnez
zar, that the Almighty didn't humble
him."
At the look on his mother's face,
he added, contritely: ,
"Forgive me, mother. I shouldn't
have said It"
They moved away.
Ashley sat motionless. That merci
less indictment from Gordon, ids hope
and pride! It was a full half-hour
before he arose, closed the door and
locked It. He dropped into his chair
and laid his head upon his folded
arms.
"Allle Betty Kent down In Wheat
field I"
That must be Alice Elizabeth's
daughter. In tho days when Wheat
field had been his home, Alice Eliza
beth's name had uot been Kent but
Courtney. k
After a few moments, bo raised his
head, unlocked a drawer and took" out
a box. From the box ho drew a .shab
by pockctbook, nnd from this,- in turn,
a tiny, yellowed silk bag. Ho untied
Its string and shook the contents out
upon tho blotter a circlet of braided
sweet grass, dry and brittle, and a
gold ring set with a small diamond.
He remembered the day he had
braided the grass and measured Alice
Elizabeth's finger.
They sat under the maples on tho
river bank. The sun sent golden
shafts of light through the trees to fall
upon her yellow hair. She had insist
ed upon hnvlng tho braided ring to
keep and had made tho little silk
bag for It, the very evening ho had
placed the diamond on her finger.
He remembered, too, the evening
nenrly two years later, when sho had
given them back. He recalled frag
ments of the conversation.
"You have grown so hard."
"Nothing matters except having
your own way, and it does not matter
that your way Is not .always right."
"I do not dare to risk life, with you."
"Please try to change, or I fear you
will some day bo a lonely, wretched
old man."
His hurt had been deep. He could
not destroy tho rings, but had bidden
them.
. Thirty-five years, and he had not
changed. If tonight were any criterion,
be was on his way to tho lonely,
wretched old age she had prophesied.
A rap sounded at the door. With
the pitiful diamond still clasped In bis
hand, Ashley unlocked It
Gordon came In, his shoulders
squared. "I wasn't sure you had come
home," he said. "Are you too busy to
listen to me for a few moments?"
Ashley pushed back his papers.
"Go ahead," be said, gruffly.
Gordon came straight to the point
"I'm engaged to be married, father.
I thought It best to tell you."
Ashley was silent Gordon stumbled
on. "It is Allle Betty Kent She lives
In Wheatficld, where we used to go
summers." He waited, tense, for the
expected outburst
"In Wheatlleld," mused his father.
"Must be Alice Courtney's daugh
ter." "She uV answered the young man.
Believed, he sat on the corner of the
desk and picked up a circlet of dried
grass that lay there, nervously break.
Ing It to bits and laying the bits spoa
the platter. Ashley winced,
"Probably. better, than you deserve,"
be growled. "See that you treat her
well. Now dear out"
Gordon went
"Dismissed with a blessing," be re
marked In helpless astonishment.
Left alone, Ashley swept the bits
of dried grass lots the waste basket
