ELEVATOR GOLF
Guy Liggett is 9 Up With Fair Opponent
Who .Calls His Foozles on Three Holes
WITH WOMAN LIFT OPERATORS
Guy Liggett is some golf player.
But, at the same time, if he were
to try and pass a physical examina
tion for army service, he would fail
because of defective hearing.
Monday he was in a passenger
elevator in the Woodmen of the
World building. He was describing
t,o Bill Hughes a game of golf in
which he had been defeated by the
brilliant playing of Joe Rcdfield.
"He did it in three 1" exclaimed
Guy, in his descriptive narrative.
The elevator girl heard the word
"three" and stopped the car at the
third floor. No one moved to get
out and she glared at Guy, who paid
no attention to her. She shut the
door with a spiteful slam and contin
ued on her upward way.
"He did it in six," continued Guy.
The girl heard the number six and
she stopped the car at the sixth floor
and again held the door invitingly
open for Guy, who, absorbed in his
tale, failed to notice her.' Bill Hughes
was "next," however, and watched
the comedy with suppressed joy, i
i The young lady, whose face took
on a charming, natural peach-blow
color, and her eyes a dangerous
sparkle, started the car again.
"He diu it in nine," said Guy in
the next chapter. The girl stopped
the car at the ninth floor, slammed
the door open, and, catching Guy by

CHAPTER VII (Continued).
MISS MAGGIE seemed pleased.
She said that she was glad if
she could be of any help to him, and
she told him to come whenever he
liked. She arranged the Bible and the
big box of papers on a little table in
. i ..ii i .... . . t i.;
tne corner, ana 101a mm 10 mane nun
self as quite one of the family, that
Mr. Smith might be pardoned for
soon considering himself so.
It was while at work in this corner
that he came to learn so much of
Miss Maggie's daily life, and of her
visitors.
Although many of these visitors
were strangers, to him, some of them
he knew. . ' . ,
1 One day it was Mrs. Hattie Blats
dell, with a countenance even more
florid than usual. She was breathless
and excited, and her eyes were wor
ried. She was going to give a lun
cheon, she said. She wanted Miss
Mapme's silver sooons. and her forks,
and her hand-painted sugar-and-J

glass dish. ,
Mr. Smith, supposing that Miss
Maggie herself was to be at the luncheon,-
was rejoicing within him that
she was to have this pleasant little
outing, when he heard Mrs. Blaisddell
telling her to be sure to come at 11 to
be in the kitchen, and asking where
could she get a maid to serve in the
diningroom, and what should she do
with . Benny. He'd have to be put
somewhere, or else he'd be sure to up
set everything.
Mr. Smith did not hear Miss Mag
gie's answer to all this, for she hur
ried her visitor to' the kitchen . at
once to look up the spoons, she
savd. But indirectly be obtained a
very conclusive reply; for he found
Miss Maggie gone one day when he
came: and Benny, who was in her
place, told him atl about it, even tol
the danay trostea cake Auni waggie
had made for the company to eat.
Another day it was Mrs. Jane Blais
well who 'came; Mrs. Jane had a
tired frown between her brows and a
despairing droop to her lips. , She
carried a large bundle which she
dropped unceremoniously into Miss
Maggie's lap.
"There. I'm dead beat out, and I've
brought it to you. You've just got
to help me," she finished, sinking into
a chair.
"Why, of course, if I can. But
what is 'it?" Miss Maggie's deft
fingers were already untying the
knot. ,
i "It's my old black silk. I'm mak-
mar it over.
"Again? But I thought the last
time it couldn t ever be done attain.
"Yes, I know; but there's lots of
good in it yet," interposed Mrs. Jane
decidedly; and I've bought new vel
vet ana new lace, and some buttons
and a new lining. I thought I could
do it alone, but I've reached a point
where 1 just have got to have help
So I came right over,"
''Yes, of course, but" Miss Mag
gie was lifhting a half-finishedsleeve
doubtfully "why didn't you go to
flora f ihea know exactly
.Mrs. Jane stiffened.
"Because I can t afford . to go to
Flora," she interrupted coldly. "I
have to pay Flora, and you know it.
If I bad the money I should be glad
to do it. of course. But I haven't, and
chanty begins at home. I think. Be

NOT POPULAR
the lapel of the coat, looked lunj
in the eye, and as he gazed at her
in bewildered surprise she said:
"This is your floor. I'm tired of
playing your little game. This time
you are it."
Bill Hughes could not hold himself.
He fairly howled and between
spasms he shouted the scenario to
Guy and the girl, telling the latter
of Guy's auricular affliction.
Guy grinned sheepishly and the
elevator conductoress wilted.
The story was" too good to keep.
World's Base Ball Series
Discussed by Commission
Cincinnati, Aug. 20. The national
base ball commission met here today
and went into a thorough discussion
of the coming world's series, but
shortly before the couclusion of the
meeting announced officially that no
decisions relative to the schedule,
umpires, eligible players and other
details would be announced before an
official promulgation of a bulletin con
taining all this information on next
Thursday or Friday.
The reason given by Chairman
August Herrmann, speaking for the
commission, was that the American
league race was entirety toonclose.
' Author of "Pollyanna." f
But this 1d thing 1 Of course, if
you don't want to help me
"Oh, but I do," plunged in Miss
Maggie, hurriedly. ''Come out into
the kitchen where we'll have more
room," sheVexclaimed, gathering the
bundle intoNier arms and springing
to her feet.
"I've got some other lace at home
yards and yards of it. I got a lot,
it was so cheap," recounted Mrs.
Jane, rising with alacrity. "But I'm
afraid it won't do for this, and I don't
know as it will do for anything, it's
so"
The kitchen door slammed sharply,
and Mr. Smith heard no more. Half
an hour later, however, lie saw Mrs.
Jane go down the walk. The
frown was gone from her face and
the. droop from the comers of her
mouth. Her step was alett and con
fident. She carried no bundle.
Thejiext dav it was Miss Flora.
Miss Flora's thin little face looked
more pinched than ever, and her eyes
more anxious, Mr. Smith thought,
liven her smile as she acknowledged
Mr. Smith's greeting, was so wan he
wished she had not tried to give it.
She sat down then, by the window
and began to chat with Miss Maggie,
and very soon Mr. Smith heard her
if this:
T'No, Maggie, I don't know, really,
what I am going to do truly I don't.
Business is so tumble dull! Why, X

hardly, .now, ter say nothin of my
Miss Maggie frowned.
"But I thought that Hattie isn't
Hattie having some new dresses and
Bessie, too?"
A sigh passed Miss Flora s lips.
"Yes, oh. yes; they are having three
or four. But thev don't come to me
any more. They've gone to that French
woman that makes the Tennocks
things, you know, with the queer
name. "And, of course, it's all right,
and you can't blame 'em, livin' on the
West Side, as they do now. And, of
course, I am t so up ter date as she
is. And just her name counts."
"Nonsense! Up to date, indeed!"
(Miss Maggie laughed merrily, but
Mr. Smith, copying dates at the table,
detected a note in the laugh that was
not merriment.) "You're up to date
enough for me. Tve got just the job
for you, too. Come out into the
kitchen." She was already almost to
the door.
"Why, Maggie, you' haven't,
either!" (In spite of-the incredulity
of voice , and manner, Miss Flora
sprang joyfully to her feet.) "You
never had me make you a Again
the kitchen door slammed shut, and
Mr. Smith was left to finish the sen
tence for himself. v
v But' Mr. Smith was not finishing
sentences. Neither was his face ex
pressing just hen the sympathy
which it might be supposed to be
showing, after so sorry a tale as Miss
Flora had been telling. On the con
trary, Mr. Smith, with an actual
elation of countenance, was scrib
bling on the edge of his notebook
words, that certainly he had never
found in the Blaisdell record be
fore him ; "Two months more, then
$100.000. -And may I te .UuttVto

Half an hour later, as on the "pre
vious day, Mr. Smith saw a metamor
phosed woman hurrying down the lit
tle path to the street. But the woman
today was carrying a bundle and it
was the same bundle that the woman
the day before had brought.
But not -always, as Mr. Smith soon
learned, were Miss Maggie's visitors
women.' Besides Benny, with his
grievance, young Fred Blaisdell came
sometimes, and poured into Miss

Schwab Takes Step to
Speed Steel Ship Building
Philadelphia, Aug, 20. In an effort to
speed up the government's shipbuild
ing program; Charles M. Schwab
said today, after a conference with
representative of all the Atlantic
coast steel shipyards, that the di
rection and management of the yards
hereafter would be collective rather
than individual and that piece 'work
would be adopted as the wage basis.
More than 90 shipyard officials at
tended the conference, which Mr.
Schwab described as a "Get together
and speed up meeting."
"The changes of wages, of working
conditions and vall other improve-j
ments that are brought about in one
yard fill be intruduced in all the
other plants," said Mr. Schwab.
Maggie's sympathetic ears the story
of Gussie Pennock's really remarkable
personality, or of what he was going
to do when he went to college arid
afterward.
(Mr. Jim Blaisdell drifted in quite
frejauently Sunday afternoons, though
apparently all he came for was to
smoke and read in one of the big
comfortable chairs. Mr. Smith himself
had fallen into the way of strolling
down to Miss Maggie's almost every
Sunday alter dinner.
One Saturday afternoon Mr. Frank
Blaisdell rattled up to the door in his
grocery wagon. His face was very
red, and his mutton-chop whiskers
were standing straight out at each
side.
Jane had collapsed, he said, utterly
collapsed. All the week she had been
housecleaning and doing up curtains;
and now this morning, expressly
agajnst his wishes, to save hiring a
man, she had put down the parlor
carpet herself.
Now she was flat on her back, and
supper to'be got for the boarder, and
the Saturday baking yet to be done.
And could Maggie come and help
them out?
Before Miss Maggie could answer,
Mr. Smith hurried out from his cor
ner and insisted that "the boarder"
did not want any supper anyway
and could they not live on crackers
and milk for the coming few days?
But Miss Maggie laughed and said.
Nonsense!' And in an incredibly
short time she was ready to drive back
in the grocery wagon. Later, when he
went home, Mr. Smith found her
there presiding over one of the best
suppers he had eaten since his arrival
in Hillerton. She came every day aft
er that, for a week, for Mrs. Jane re
mained "flat on her back" seven days
with a doctor in daily attendance, sup
plemented by a trained nurse peremp
torily ordered by that same doctor
from the nearest city.
Miss Maggie, with the assistance of
Melhcent, attended to the housework.
But in spite of the excellence of the
cuisine, meal time was a most un
happy period to everybody concerned,
owing to the sarcastic comments of
Air. Frank Blaisdell as to how much
his wife had "saved" by not having a
man to put down that carpet.
Mellicent had little time now to aa
walking or auto riding with Carl Pen-
nock. Her daily lite was, indeed, more
pleasure-starved than ever all of
which was not lost on Mr. Smith. Mr.
Smith and Mellicent were fast friends
now. Given a man with a sympathetic
understanding on one side, and a girl
hungry for that sime sympathy and
understanding, and jf could hardly be
otherwise. From Mellicent's own lips
Mr. Smith knew now just how.hungry
a yoimg girl can be for fun and fur
belows. .
"Of course I've got my board and
clothes, and I ought to be thankful
for them," she stormed hotly to him
one day. . "And I am thankful for
them. But sometimes it seems as if
I'd actually be willing to go hungry
for meat and potato, if for once just
once I could buy a five-pound box
of candy, and eat it up all at once, if
I wanted tol But now, why now I
can't even treat a friend to an ice
cream soda without seeing mother's
shocked, reproachful eyes over the
rim of the glass I" . - .
It was not easy then (nor many
times subsequently) for Mr. Smith to
keep from asking Mellicent the utter
ly absurd ouestion of how manv five-
pound boxes of candy she supposed-1
?100,000 would buy. But he did keep
from it by heroic self-sacrifice and
the comforting recollection that .she
would know some day, if she cared
to take the trouble to reckon jt.up.

Breaks All Against Bert
Niehoff While with Giants
Bert Niehoff, formerly with Omaha,
but now wearing a New York Giant
uniform, who sustained a broken leg
in a collision with Ross Youna at the
Philadelphia ball park on May 31, is
recovering rapidly from his injury.
He left the hospital in the Quaker
city, to which he was removed from
the ball park some time ago and has
been making his way about on crutch
es. When he recently made his ap
pearance at the polo grounds in New
York in that condition he was given
a hearty reception by his 'team mates.
Niehoff has had a short but excit
ing career with the Giants. A few
days after he joined the club on the
first western trip he had the index
finger of his right hand split by a
thrown ball, and he had scarcely re
covered from that injury when he
broke his le,. He is on"! of the play
ers who will be spared the Giants un
til the end of the curtailed season, as
the "work or fight" order does not
affect him, Bert being over the draft
age.
Public Asked to Refrain
From Unnecessary Traveling
Washington, Aug. . 20. Over
crowded trains and unsatisfactory
passenger service in some sections
of the country are caused by the ne
cessity of using many day coaches
and sleeping cars for troops trans
portation and by the heavy burden of
hauling war supplies,' Director-General
McAdoo explained today in a
"statement to the public."
"Among the many patriotic duties
of the American public at this time
is the duty to refrain from traveling
unnecessarily," said Mr. McAdoo.

Weaver Says Wife Gained
Forty Pounds Taking
Tanlac Suffered
Eighteen Years.
The statement made recently by
Edward Weaver of 700 North 9th
Street, Lincoln, Neb., regarding tha
benefits his wife has derived from
the use of Tanlac is not only inter
esting, but altogether remarkable.
"If everybody only knejv what a
blessing Tanlac has brought to my
wife," said Mr. Weaver, "in the way
of health and strength, there's not
, a one who i wouldn't think just as X
do that it 8 worth its weight in gold
She has been a terrible sufferer for
a long time eighteen years, in fact
and was totally unable to do any
of her housework. She was so nerv
ous the slightest noise disturbed her,
and she suffered with rheumatic
pains all over her body. She had no
appetite and her stomach was so
weak she had to live orf a, diet of the
very lightest, simplest, things. She
had awful headaches and life to her
was just one unbroken period of suf
fering, Sometimes she would have
sinking spells, when it seemed like
she was gone.
"Now, some people may not be
lieve it, but it's the truth, she has
gained forty pounds on ten bottles
of Tanlac, and her recovery has been
almost like the work of a miracle.
Tanlac was so well suited to her casa
that she improvd , rapidly from ths
start Her appetite came back whil
she was taking the first bottle, an
it wasn't long until she could eat
just anything, and then she began
to pick up in "weight and Strength.
Her pain and nervousness is all gone"
now, and she sleeps good every
night She says she feels well and
I know, she must, for she certainly
looks like a new person, and I can't
praise Tanlac enough for what it has
done for her."
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by Sher
man & McConnell Drug Co., corner
16th and Dodge streets; 16th and
Harney streets; Owl Drug Co., 16tb
