In the first daze of awakening Mar garet was conscious of the luxurious bed. After the dubious sheets and ... grayish blanket of Mrs. Devlin's hall room, the frelsh linen seemed an un- r wonted luxury. With thrilled appraisement her glance swept the expensively fur- msned room. I he only discordant note was her own shabby trunk, which stood with dejected humility ". against the satin-striped wall. I For so long she had recoiled from 8 ' repugnant surroundings that now as Ij ' She bathed and dressed she gave her- self up to the almost forgotten joy ot sheer physical comfort. But beneath her grateful relaxation yas the disquieting thought of her indebtedness to Kennedy. In spite of his insistence that she consider it only as a loan, Margaret felt keenly her obligation. Determining to keep her expenses as low as possible, instead of having breakfast in the high-priced restaur ant, she 'went out to a nfoderate lunch room in the next block. Passing a news stand, she paused to 1 uy a copy of "Standford's Maga zine." Turning to the table of con tents, her o.n name leaped up at her. '"His Wife and the Other Woman,' Margaret Warner." For several i..oments she stood en thralled, while the hurrying crowd el bowed by. She had not even known of the story's acceptance. She would go at once to the office of the magazine. She would see the editor. Possibly it would mean an order for another story. At 3 o'clock that afternoon, with shrinking self-consciousness, in spite of the fortifying magazine in her hand, Margaret gave her card to the office boy who guarded the editorial sanctum. She had pictured Frank Norwood, the editor, as cold and unapproach able, but the tall youngish man who greeted her was graciously cordial. He seemed much interested in Her story and spoke of a series. Then he explained that he was just starting to Riverdale his car was waiting. If she would drive out with him they could talk on the way and she could return on the 5:10- Knowing that most writers would be overjoyed at such a chance for an interview, after a moment's hesita tion, Margaret consented. With characteristic energy Nor wood hurried her down to his car, and they t were soon speeding out through the city. Briefly he outlined the series he had in mind. It was to be "The Woman ".Alone" struggling for her living in a great city. The theme was hackneyed, but he was convinced she could give to it a new angle. Her story in the current number had touched on these lines. The scene in the cheap boarding house and the dingy hall room had been re- markedly vivid. He ielt she knew and could write of this life. It was barely 4 when they reached Riverdale, and Norwood insisted on her calling with him at a friend's houseboat. It was not until they were walking down the graveled bank that he mentioned casually, "It belongs .' ,io the Kennedys. 1 believe youve f them. Mrs. Kennedy was much -rjjtcd in your story. Oh, there she Iron deck!" Before Margaret could frame her f '. dismay into a protest, he was lead I ing the way up the gang plank, and J " she hd no choice but to follow. . P - Mary, having no reason to think jf that her husband had seen Miss Warner since the evenings she J - worked for him, greeted her graci i ' ously. I Desperately Margaret strove to T conceal her embarrassment. Her J cojor flamed deeper as Kennedy ap i peared. She saw his start of sur- prise, then his quick control as he greeted her formally. After that one swift glance, she did 1 not look toward him, but she was quiveringly conscious of his every t. word and movement. i Shinking back to the deep wicker I chair, her drooping hat brim shading I her face, Margaret's silence seemed i only a natural modesty at Norwood's 3 glowing praise of her work. J. he o:lUI repeated Kennedy, when her return on that train was mentioned. "Why that's been taken off! There nothing now before, the 8:55." "Then yon must both dine here," nsisted Mary, hospitably. Margaret swept an appealing glance at Kennedy, but before this deepening V complication he was helpless. He 1 THE MAGAZINE EDITOR. could only try to cover her discon- certion by absorbing the conver sation. Dinner, served on the veranda-like deck under the glowing Japanese lanterns, was to Margaret a trying or deal, sitting beside Kennedy she felt his protecting efforts to make the situation less awkward. In spite of her embarrassment she was conscious of th thrill that al ways came with his presence. Hav ing seen him only in business suits, she was struck anew with his careless strength which the white flannels seemed to emphasize. When they finally arose from the table Mary suggested that perhaps Miss WaVner would like to see through the boat. Though dreading to be alone with her, Margaret was torced to acquiesce. "This is the living room." as they iwent down the steps. "Mr. Ken nedy's room is on that side and this' is mine." "Yes, it's comfortable," to Mar garet's murmured, admiring com ment. "But its' very lonely. I never realized it when Mr. Kennedy stayed here all summer but this year he's been dowif only tor the week ends. The wistfulness of this remark was like a lash to. Margaret. It was for her he was staying in town I With anguished self-reproach she realized that she was the cause of his wife's loneliness. "Oh! Did you see that?" Mary who had been standing by the window shrank back in alarm. "Oh, I'm sure I saw some one looking in!" "Why this opens on the water" Margaret stepped to the window. "No one could get here." "Perhaps I imagine it," confusedly. "I've been so nervous here alone without Mr. Kennedy. Last night I was really frightened " A crash! A shivering of wood and glass! A moment of blackness, of stun ned oblivion and Margaret strug gled to her feet. The room was wrecked. A rush of inpouring water as the boat listed. Stumbling blindly over the wreck age she reached the stairway that led to the deck. Half way up, ding ing to the swaying rail, she glanced back. On the floor by the window lay Mary Kennedy in huddled uncon sciousness. Another sinking lurch and the water poured through the broken glass. In the blurred chaos of Margaret's thought leaped the realization that she had only to rush on out. to save only herself and there would be no barriers between her and the man she loved. , Her gaze on the limp, helpless fig ure for a dazed second Margaret wavered.

Railroads Report Crop Conditions as Excellent With light rains at numerous points throughout Nebraska Friday night and with temperatures ranging from 45 to 60 degrees above zero, crops continue to make good growth, is the report coining to the railroads. The crop report of .the Northwest ern for the week ending Friday night and covering the Nebraska lines indi cates that crops are in excellent con dition, though there is need of warm er weather to hasten the corn along. However, reports from more than 1U0 stations carry the idea none of the corn has suffered on account of the continued cool weather. Ever, where the farmers are in their fields and cultivation during the week progressed rapidly. As a rule the fields are pretty free from weeds. Small grain is doing well, 1 with wheat and j oats beginning to head. The straw is long, strong and .every thing points to a large yield. The first cutting of alfalfa is in the stack and on some of the meadows wild hay is being put up. It is said that the crop is the heaviest in years. Dancers at Empress Garden Show Latest Things in Art Mile. Marion, classic dancer now appearing at the Empress garden, as sisted by Martinez Randall, in her dances shows the effect of long years of study. They have introduced with success their Spanish dance and Hawaiian dance to crowded houses, while their foxy one-step Cakewalk and waltz de vogue are original and up to date in every respect. They will introduce in Omaha the latest steps now in favor in New York and Chicago, where they have both filled long engagements lately. Summer Amusements for the Expect Projector Movie Houses F. H. Richardson is an Omaha visitor today in the interest of better projection in the motion picture theaters throughout the country. He is making thjs tour of all the prin cipal cities under the banner of the Motion Picture World and his includ ing Omaha, proves that this city is fast becoming one of the leading mo tion picture theater centers of the United States. While here he will make an inspection of all the motion picture theaters, inspecting the op erating booths, the condition of the projection machines, the kind of cur tain used, whether or not the picture is in the correct focus, notice if light that should not strikes the curtain, if there are any shadows on the screen and in fact make a thorough inspec tion. In the evening when the shows have all closed and patrons are think ing of going to bed a banquet will be tendered him at the Rome hotel 'by the local motion picture operators' union at which the him exchange men as well as the theater managers and newspaper representatives will be present and he will deliver a lecture on better projection and also tell of the ninerent conditions he toutiu on his visits to the various theaters. whether good or bad. The object of his visit is to help the different American War Medals By Frederic J. Haakin Washington, June 14. Doubtless one result of the expeditionary force to Europe will be the creation of a new medal of honor to be worn by those who see honorable service in the campaign. Practically every war in which the United States has had a part, since the civil war, has been commemorated by a medal, so that these decorations form a sort of anthology of our history in arms. All governments recognize the emotional value of the military dec oration. Love and money are not more powerful motives to ettort than distinction. As George Moore cynical ly states the matter, we are all per forming dogs trying to astonish each other with our tricks, or, if you prefer to state it that wav.. each of us strongly desires the approbation of Ins fellows. Wflerefore the giving of medals is an artistic and effective way of rewarding merit and stimulating effort. The decorations which may be won in the service of the United States are of two general classes. In the first place there is that long list of medals which have been struck out in ac cordance with acts of congress to commemorate' particular wars or1 campaigns, and are generally given to all men who have an honorable part in such campaigns, the other class is represented by the medals given for meritorious service, for heroism and for marksmanship. These latter, in the case of enlisted men, carry with them a substantial increase in pay as long as the deroration is held. The marksmanship decorations are of special interest just now, because they have to do with a phase of war in which American troops have al ways been superior. Americans have always been good marksmen because they have always been a nation of hunters, and in nearly all of our fight ing this has bea our most marked superiority. Withinthe last few de cades, however, such, a large propor tion of our population has been crowded into cities that the percent age of men who have handled arms must be much smaller than it was fifty or even twenty-five years ago. Yet the number of these men is still surprisingly large. The love of the open 'field and the smell of gun powder is strong in our blood and not easily downed Thus in 1915 some five million hunting licenses were taken out in the United States. And the numerous rifle ciubs that have been organized in the last few years have added greatly to the number of those who knew, to some extent, how to shoot. i The importance of this knowledge can hardly be overestimated. Marks manship is the one part of being a soldier which cannot possibly be im parted in six months. Learning to shoot even passably well is a matter of years of practice, while to become a first-class shot requires not only years, but a good deal of aptitude. Furthermore, experience in the hunt ing field cannot fail to be of much greater value thaa any amount of target practice. Hitting a running deer is a very different proposition fom plugging a black bull's-eye on a white background with the aid of a wind gauge, a note book, and an exact knoweldge of the distance. It may reasonably be supposed that hitting a charging German has somewhat the same difference from target practice. And, although artillery and the ma chine gun have robbed the rifle of a large part of its importance, trenches are still won and lost by the quality of markmanship in the opposing forces. The superiority of Canadians as soldiers seems to be generally con ceded, and it. can scarcely be doubted that a good part of this superiority is due to the fact that almost every Canadian of military age has had some experience with rifles. Gather a hundred small-town raus$d or ranch raised westerners, who hunt every fall as a matter of course, and compare them with a hundred men of like age and income gathered at random from desks and stores in a big city. The westerners will not only be able to outshoot the city men, on an average, about ten to one, but they will have steadier nerves, know how to take care of themselves in the open, and to endure hardship. In this day when so many things from planting a potato in the backyard to eating corn meal are being commended as expressions of patriotism, something oughV.to be said for the rhap who occasionally gets away from the manifold and pampering comforts of civilized life, to test his legs by a long, hard hike in the winter woods and train his eyes by trying to hit some fleet Avild thing. I Returning to the matter of medals, the government conicrs upon those to Give Omaha Careful Inspection J? H JP1CHARDSON theaters to show theater patrons pic tures in the manner in which they are intended to be shown. men attaining the highest proficiency with ntle or pistol a silver medal with the word "expert" engraved upon it, after the name of the arm used. Such a medal also carries with it, in the case of an enlisted man, an increase of $5 a month in pay. The next class in order of shooting ability gets the sharpshooter medal and fJ ex tra per month. The marksman's sil ver bar and $2 a month in the third grade of decoration. , Another medal regularly conferred by the government is the good con duct medal which is given to enlisted men who have served one full term of four years with merit, thus dis tinguishing tilt high-class soldier, even thoueh he has not had the op- portunity of performing unusual serv ice. There is one medal conferred by the government through act of con gress which may be won by a civilian as well as a soldier. It is given to those who have risked their own lives to save the lives of others. These are the standing medals, which mav be won at anv time. All of the other decorations which you see upon the breasts ot military men, commemorate special campaigns or wars. The first of these in order of importance today, is the medal of honor which was authorized by con gress in 1861 and was given to men who saw meritorious service in the civil war. Next comes the Dewey medal, commemorating the battle of Manila bay, and then the Sampson medal, worn by men who took part in other naval engagements of the Span ish war, and having the head of Samp. son for its medallion. 1 here is also a Spanish war medal which is con ferred upon all men of the navy or marine corps who saw service in any battle of the Spanish-American war. Another medal is worn by all men who saw honorable service afloat or ashore during the struggle to pacify the Philippines The Boxer rebellion of China is commemorated by another medal worn by the American marines who took part in the struggle, and by the members of the relief expedition who were sent later. The second in tervention in Cuba also has its medal, worn by all men who took an honor able part therein. The little known campaign of our marines in Nicaragua during 1911 aid 1912 is also remem bered by a medal known as the Nicaraguan campaign medal. Thus it will be seen that no wars and very few brushes hive been overlooked. It is time for one of our national legis lators to rise in his place and offer a resolution creating, the "Liberty Medal of 1917." At this point a thought occurs which will not down. Why not ex tend this medal idea to the ranks of the civilians? We are told that the man who stays at home and does his bit is just as important as the one that carries the gun. Now since this home and office patriot cannot wear a uniform, why not give him a medal for honorable service for example a home garden campaign medal for the man who raises the biggest radish on a city lot. Tuesday Morning Musical Club Names Committees Membership rules are announced by the Tuesday Morning Musical club, which has arranged a program of un usual merit for next year.

VAUDEVILLE OFFERING AT EMPRESS THIS WEEK. r ? '4. j l ', .iJlmniiaii ra CH Ae impress Weber and Redford are presenting their burlesque oddity on the Em press srrer-n stage for the first time today. The name of it is "On Their Golf Links" and it develops the funny situations of the popular pastime. The two Ovandos are a young man and woman whose stag appearance gives an audience the feeling they are look ing at two children of unusual beauty and accomplishments. This in part is true, though they are not children, yet they have all the fervor of such while presenting their number. As xylophonists the Ovandos are in a class by themselves. Never was such stirring and tuneful music beaten out of xylophones as this pair of artists demonstrate. Mirth and melody are presented .by Rome and Wager, and the show is closed by Wille brothers, masters of the art of equilibrism. Owing to the ever increasing ex pense of labor, film, war tax, etc., a slight increase of 5 cents on each ticket becomes effective starting to day to continue until further notice. The Empress management is now of fering a $.5,000 show every week and it has been found impossible to con tinue the 10 and 20 cents any longer. This small increase will allow the management to keep on improving the quality of the sjiows.

H. J. Bay ley was the manager of the Vitagra;h at this time and upon being promoted to Minneapolis, which is the third largest office in the United States for the Vitagraph company, he installed Mr. Getzler in his place on account the exceptional record he made as a salesman.
