The Way Lillian Came to Madge's Rescue. , Well, girls, what do you say to a little spin before we go home?" Dicky threw the words carelessly over his shoulder to Lillian and me seated in the tonneau. "Major Grant land's machine with its owner, Mrs. Durkee, Alfred and Edith and Leila Fairfax was already out of sight down the Long Beach road. I sur mised that Dicky had purposely waited until the others were out ot sight before proposing this amend ment to his original plan of taking me directly home. "I'd love it," 1 said promptly, and Lillian also assented enthusiastically, I saw him smile enigmatically, al most triumphantly, then he turned the car around and soon shot out of the Long Beach road and 'headed east on the wide boulevard which runs almost the whole length of Long Island. 1 Something in his manner remind ed me of a small boy planning some prank, but 1 philosophically remind ed myself that it would be time enough to worry about it when he should himself spring his joke, what ever it was. Therefore I gave my- self up to the enjoyment of the ride, feeling but one drawback to my en joyment, and that the conviction 1 had that Lillian was watching me intently, though covertly. That her scrutiny had something to do with Major Grantland I was as sure as I was that I was beginning to feel a little resentful of her oatent disapproval of my renewed """itainancesiiip with the young of ficer. I was no child in leading strings 1 told myself with absurd heat that my every word and ac tion as well as those of the young officer should be watched so capti ously. I had the grace to- be ashamed of myself, however, even as my irritation welled within me, and with the swift passing ot a tew more miles through the pleasant summer air I began to feel quite tranquil scam. Hut T had reckoned without Dicky. He drew up the machine by the bide of the boulevard when we had put 10 or 12 miles between us and the Long Beach road, and turn rA fn us. his eves dancinz. but with a little set line about his lips, which inlil tne that he' had evolved some purpose which he was determined to "' '" .... "Now that we've gotten rid of the bunclu what do you say to our drop ping into 'Ye Olde Tavern' and hav- ing a quiei nine mcai uursavesi I saw the childishness of his plan in an instant, felt the resentment against him of an hour before com ing back to me. He meant to maite Major Grantland think that after pleading fatigue as an excuse for not . i j: tl, a joining ine cnuwu in unmet ii mv. beach I had seized the opportunity to dine with my husband and Lil lian as soon as his back was turned. And yet, I hesitated to object to Dicky's plan, for I realized that he would be furiously angry if I re fused to aid him in his infantilelan for "getting even." If only Lillian -but I feared that she, because of her seemingly absurd prejudice against the officer, - would abet Dicky in his plan, instead of hin dering him. ; I had misjudged her, however, as I realized, with ,the first words she uttered in reply to the proposal, words that were more hurried than her wont in her pajtent endeavor to save me the embarrassment of either acquiescing in or -denying my hus band's suggestion. "What an anointed Tdiot you are, dear heart 1" she apostrophized him oratorically. "Didn't you hear Madge say back there she wasn't uo to dininc out She ought to be in bed this minute, and she would be if this wonderful air hadn t beguiled me out of my seven senses. You turn this machine around, prontq, and start in the direction of home and mother. We'll leave 'Ye Olde Tavern flat this trip, my Dicky bird, unless you want another yard- long doctor bill. Remember, this is the. first day Madge has been out doors." ' ."It is!" Dicky's tone held aston ishment. "Why, I thought she'd been out two or three days!" "You should keep better posted," Lillian retorted dryly. That Dicky caught hrr meaning I' knew by. the sudden flush which overspread his face. He jerked around, and busied himself with starting the car, but the tell-tale flush extended to the back'-of his neck and his ears, and I knew that he must be furiously angry at Lil lian and no doubt at ine as well. The drive home was a silent one except for the veriest commonplaces And when, with the most elaborate Courtesy he had assisted me from the car and almost carried me up stairs '1o my room, Dicky tried and failed to effect a most com monplace. air, as he remarked: "As long as you need a rest so much, Madge, you certainly don't want to he bothered with me talk ing. Besides it's a crime to stay in doors, so 1 think I'll vamoose with the ice cart for a while. Tell Katie not to wait dinner for me I'll pick up something along the road." ' (Contined Tomorrow.) Chinese Mission Buys Bellevue College Site For Priests' Seminary The Chinese Mission society ha purchased all of the grounds o Bellevue college with the exception of the building, 215 acres, and in the spripg .will commence erection o buildings at an estimated cost o $500,000. It is said $58,000 was the consideration. The society will conduct the American college and seminary for the education of young men in the priesthood for'service in converting the Chinese, rather Edward ). McCarthy, head of the mission in America, acted on behalf of the mission in making the purchase. The Chinese Mission society was established' in County Gal way, Ire land, in 191? by Father Edward Gal- vin. By invitation of Archbishop Harty of the Catholic diocese of Omaha, American headquarters were established in Omaha in April, 1917. There are over 60 priests now in the order and over 150 studying for the priesthood in Ireland. An other house has been established in Australia. Father McCarthy savs no effort will be made to purchase the build ings as their program calls for all new and modern buildings. It was announced after the closing of Belle vue college that a military academy would ooen in the buildings next September. Whether this sale would" affect the new school was not an nounced. is I a Phelactine, New Wonder Worker for Hair Growths (Causes Even the Roots to Come Out) B an entirely new and perfectly harm less method, any woman afflicted wltb a srowth of RUDerfluous hair can now re move the disfigurement completely roots included in just a few seconds, lint that fflorious news?

Located in the path of Oma ha's growth so that whemit becomes a city of 500,000 population, it will be right in the center of Omaha's business activities.

Within 24 hours after the construc tion of this building was publicly an nounced applications had been re ceived for more than SIX ENTIRE FLOORS.
