Edward N. Hurley, chairman of
the United States shipping board,
has appealed to women to give im
mediate study to the problems of
the American merchant marine and
to be prepared to support this im
portant phase of reconstruction
work. "With the proper merchant
marine, the world will be a market
for our farm products. If we have
no merchant marine by which to
send these products abroad, we will
have an era of low prices and our
markets for farm products will be
limited to home consumption. Any
thing that affects American living
standards and national prosperity
is important to women as bread
winners.
"As women work for the Ameri
can merchant marine now, so it will
later work for them. After the war
we must serve the world with our
ships. Women can, by being intelli
gently informed themselves help
make American public opinion.
Women should study our maritime
past and learn why the American
flag disappeared from the ocean for
two generations. They can study

CHAPTER IV.
Locked in the Van.
A LL about Peggy and Billy Bel
gium as they dmced was a
bustling commotion. They were so
completely under the influence of
the spell, however, that they did not
notice what the gypsies were doing
until the gruff voice of Vega put an
end to the frolic:
"Board the wagons," he ordered.
"We take the road at once."
Then Peggy saw that the tents
had been taken down, horses were
harnessed to the vans, and the gypsy
caravan was ready to move.
"In herel" shouted Viga to Peggy
and Billy, pointing to a large van in
the lead.
"The girl goes free!" protested
Tirzah, the queen.
"The girl goes with us," replied
Viga.
"The queen says the girl goes
free," insisted Roland, facing Viga.
The answer of the old gypsy was
to pick up Peggy and Billy, throw
them into the van and lock the door.
"We will settle that when we
reach the woods," growled Viga.
Peggy' wasn't a bit frightened at
this. On the contrary, she thrilled
with pleasure. To her spell-bound
eyes Roland appeared as a gallant
knight championing her cause, while
she herself was a heroine in dis
tress. "Fear not, Billy Belgium," she said,
with a grand air, such as she had
seen assumed by actresses on the
stage. "My brave defender will bat
tle for us both against the cruel
Viga."
"Say not the word 'fear' to me,
fair Princess Peggy," answered Billy
Belgium just as grandly. "I need no
defender, and, forsooth, should the
rascal Viga seek to do us harm, I
will myself attack and overcome him
with this good right arm of mine."
This doughty answer made Peggy
feel very roud. She had two fine
knights ready to fight for her if need
be.
The van was now in rapid motion.
Through the windows Peggy could
see that they were heading for the
open country. In the distance were
meadows and forests and rolling
hills. The landscape was softeneri
by the purplish autumn haze, -which
grew darker as the weary sun sank
into a gorgeous bank of clouds on
the western horizon. Peggy thought
she had never seen anything so
beautiful. It was like poetry and
music and painting all spread out
over the earth.
A feeling of exhilaration possessed
her. She wanted to run out into the
meadows and dance; she wanted to
frolic through the woods; she want
ed to fly up into the clouds and dress
WAR, PUZZLES
before she reached them, Tirzah, the
fjypsy queen, stopped her and
pressed something into her hand.
"Keep this; you may need it,"
whispered Tirzah, as she stepped
back into the shadows. Peggy looked
at the object in her hand. It was
a tiny dagger, very sharp and dan
jgerous looking.
At the same time came the warn
ing voice which she had heard be

In the center was a large fire around
: which the children were dancing. At
the edge of the camp were smaller

"Dance! Dance tonight under the

So spoke Viga, turning them to

Thrilling with joy, Peggy started
toward the dancing children. Just
Advice to the
Love-Lorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Another Widower.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I am writing you tor advice and
help. I am a widower 28 years old,
live on my farm, but find it is very
sad and lonely here alone. Have
two litle Kirls. 5 and 2 years old, but
they are kept by my wife's mother.
Do you think it best for me to marry
again, as my wife died this sprint??
I do not feel contented feel like
a man without a country. I am
afraid to venture among the fair
sex. as 1 do not wish to cause talk.
Would It be proper for me to write
to any young lady friend, asking per
mission to call upon her?
Would it be proper for me to ad
vertise for a wife and mother to my
little ones?
If you could help me out in any
way 1 sure couldn't thank you
enough. H.
Being a widower, you have the
same privileges as a bachelor. You
may write the young lady asking
permission to call, but lt would be
preferable for you to ask her casu
ually, which would make if more In
formal. Why not form the habit of
being pleasant to all th eyoung la
dies? Don't go to work looking for
a wife, but get well acquainted with
all the girls and perhaps you will
I find one you can really care for.
Most of those who write to this col
umn are over romantic, but you seem
to be almost too businesslike In your
methods. Don't advertise for a wife.
One takes a long chance in picking
one with the best advantages and
personal acquaintance, but the
"sight unseen" method is full of
hazards.
Unfair to Her Husband.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I am 20 years ol and have been
married twice. I did not marry the
man I love this time. Because of a
quarrel with the man I do love I
married too hastily. Do you think
I am stepping on dangerous ground
by going machine riding with other
boys? Is lt fair to my husband to
do so, as he Is not aware of the fact?
He trusts me and I think loves me
dearly.
Would you advise me to tell my
husband of my affections for my
former sweetheart and ask him to
divorce me? Is it proper to corre
spond with my boy friend, aa my
husband does not want me tot
"TROUBLED." '
Tou should not need to ask such
questions. If your husband . loves
and trusts you, you certainly have bo
right .to betray his confidence. Tou
say you made a mistake. You wiU
either have to abide by the results Of
your mistake or else do what' your
conscience must certainly tell you 1
wrong. If you are determined not to
be true to your husband, at least tell
him of the wrong you are doing and
give him a chance to act. ' '
