WHAT HAS GOXE BEFORE
Eddie Rf jran, once a member of a
New York fL ji.", has broken awsy an J

all his possessions to KHi Eddie 1ms

lost when he roets ami falls In love
with Marian Thorndikc. Marian is cn
Fafffd to Tom Freeman. Freeman and
Kddie difriie each other, and KddiP,
discourasot!. kjcs to Richmond, where
he meets M'ke Amu. a former member
of tl gcr.c. who tries to persuade him
to r.-tti-n c") New York and Bfrtiice.
Kddie refuses and returns to his farm.
He goes to d'r.wr nt the Thorndike
home, and Mr. Thorndike questions
liim aa to ris past, liornlce Veressi
comes to Eddie's home and Informs
him she hus v-T.e to Ftay. He tells her
It is !mpo.sit!e, that he does not love
her. Ftaallv she agrees to leave, but
refuses to jeturn t'j New York, sayins
flip will go to town, where she-can be
near him.
NOW GO OX V.'ITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XL.
He tried to explain to her, but
with little hope of success.
"But if you stay in town It will
cause a lot of talk. People will
get a bad opinion of you and think
I brought you down here that
you are a dizzy broad. You can't
keep things secret in a small place
like this. I want you to go straight
back to New York won't you do
that much for me, Bernice?"
"Why should 1?" she asked, se
cure in her own decision. "Thjs is
a free country. No, I'll stay close
by. If your whole life is at stake,
Eddie, so is mine. I'm making a
play for my big happiness, just the
same as you are."
"But I tell you It's important "
"When you talk like that," she
said meditatively, "I wonder how
I can love you so much. Do you
think it is nice for you to feel too
good to acknowledge your old
friends? What gives you such a
swell head? I am just as good as
you are, Eddie every bit."
Her charges stung him with hu
miliation. Falsely, she was putting
him in the shoes of a hypocrite.
He told himself that he was spurn
ing all that was sordid in his past
not that he was turning against
old friends, bnt none of this he
was able to put into language that
would penetrate her passion-heated
understanding.
"I'm not high-hatting you. Ber
nice," he said, "but you don't get
my angle that's all."
Her eyes softened.
"I'm crazy about you, Eddie,
and whaterer you do, I'll stay the
same, that's the way I'm built."
She pressed a clinching hand
quickly to her breast. "It's in
me here!"
The situation was hopeless. Ed
die's cold realization that he
would have to stand firm and not
be swept off his feet by this lurid
catastrophe of love, gave him, sud
denly, the outward poise of neg
ligent coolness. The thing he could
not do he could not beg her, he
could just plead. And, after all, he
could not believe she really meant
to cause him unhappiness.
"All right. Kid," he said, with
a sudden smile that marked his
feelingi. "You'll just have to do
"the best way you can. I'll have the
horse hitched to the buggy and
I'll drive you into town myself."
It was the quickest way to get
rid of her. Now, when she knew
she could not stay under his roof
the keen edge of her first disap
pointment grew dull; she was
even able to laugh & bit and ex
claim naively over the unfamiliar
objects of the country.
With her bags in the back of
the buggy, they drove along the
dirt road toward town, and reso
lutely thrusting all apprehension,
out of his mind, Eddie was able to
create a small, artificial interest
OLD AGE NO LONGER

United State Senator from New York.

observed that when it comes to a
task Involving loss of sleep, lone
hours of work and close attention to
details, that people past forty will
endur far more and carry on more
successfully than wul an equal num
ber of persons below thirty.
Mr. Ford says of tho persons past
forty: "Having lived a number of

We must review our estimates of

are not old If they continue to think
they are sot. and we must help ar

In her presence.
He laboriously steered her mind
away from the hectic discussion
of her mad pursuit of him. There
were a thousand bits of news from
the city that she could tell him
but he had no real interest in this.
Nevertheless, he urged her to
regale him with the new informa
tion about the death of the Big
Guy and the dissolution of the
mob. He even seemed interested
when she told him that the money
she now possessed had been earn
ed by a small beauty parlor in
which she owned a half Interest.
Her mind, though, couldn't be di
verted long from its main interest.
"Ah. Eldie, why do we talk
such foolishness? How can I be
interested in these things, whea
it ia summer and my heart is so
hungry for you, dear! I have look
ed forward to this day to this
night"
Eddie, all at once, felt his heart
leap, felt a rushing of blood to his
face. He pulled his horse to the
side of the road to let an ap
proaching automobile pass him.
In front seat, sitting beside her
father, was Marian Thorndike.
She saw him, she saw Bernice,
and as he lifted his hat stiffly he
got a swift Tision of astonish
ment in her dear blue eyes ...
-Passing Marian in the road to
have her see him with the flash
ing Bernice Veressi gave Eddie
an antagonizing moment that re
flected his inner distress upon his
face.
The 6wift discerning eyes of the
girl at his side quickened.
"Who was that?"
"Oh, some people I know," Ed
die said, evasively."
"That girl what's her name?"
He was silent.
- "She is the girl," Bernice said,
slowly. "That is the one you want
to marry.".
"Don't be silly!"
"I had a good look at her face,"
Bernice said, softly, more to her
self than to Eddie. "I won't for
get her. Tell me, Eddie, please
what Is her name? Where does
she live?"
Bernice was like a stick of dy
namite Eddie really would haref
to handle her carefully.
If her love was violent her
jealousy would be equally explo
sive. True, there were moments
when she seemed to possess reas
onableness, but always she was
as dangerous as a volcano. If
possible, he meant to soothe her
to divert her thoughts.
"If you're going to pick out ev
ery girl you meet in this country
as my sweetheart you're going to
keep busy," he told her, with mild
scorn. "The people you just pass
ed, are neighbors of mine."
"What's their name?"
"Their name is Thorndike," he
admitted, and wondered if he had
not made a mistake in telling this
much of the truth.
"Yes, that's the girl all right,"
Bernice said In an undertone.
"But that doesn't matter, darling.
I don't want to cause you trouble,
Eddie, I just want to be good to
you."
The buggy creaked along the
county road and Bernice retreated
into a moody silence.
Depression came over her and
Eddie shared it.
That gloomy thought came to
him that he was hopelessly distant
from being the worth while man,
the man among men that Marian
had sought to arouse him into be
ing. His whole situation, now,
made him feel cheap.
He was the murky type ... a
. eare how much over 60 tne men were, so long
they could do their work."
I'm glad to have this testimony to the tsJu
of the labor capable of being done by me pas
middle life. To my mind one of our most serioui
social problems relates to the place in industrj
of men and women past 50 years of age.
There are a great many persons of this age
and much cider actively engaged in the indus
trial world. But let a person past fifty get out
of touch with his job and it is almost impossible
to find new employment.
I sometimes think my office in New York
is a sort of employment bureau. My secretary
there is constantly trying to find places foi
r ople to work. So, if you have any spare job
wish you would let me know.
But what I started to say is that it is ex-

and sought to restrain his escape

But his unhappiness was not
concealed; it was printed all over
him and Bernice, looking at him
side ways, seemed to grow calmer.
WThen she spoke something of her
intensity faded from her voice, and
she was kindly, almost maternal.
"Suppose I didn't love you, Ed
die make believe for instance,
I was just a friend if that was so
I'd still tell you the same thing

yourself down here to a girl like

She swept on, passionately.
"Suppose she did marry you.

you'd hate to confess. Maybe
you'd have a lot of kids, too. She

Knarf Tries to Skate on the
Water With Disastrous
Results
One afternoon as Mij, FlorJ Ha
nid. Yam and Knarf the five lit
tle shadow-children with the
names spelled backwards were
strolling along the margin of the
pond, they heard the sound of
many voices. It was as though a
picnic were taking place nearby.
They stopped still to listen.
"O-oh, isn't the skating fine!"
said one voice.
"It's the best skating we've had
in weeks." replied another. Then
a loud shout went up. "Hooray,
there's nothing like skating!"
Now this was exceedingly cur
ious, for it was mid-summer
when ice-skating is out of the
question. Yet the voices clearly
came from the pond. It couldn't
of course, be roller-skating. No
one can rpller-skate on a pond. o
the shadow-children didn't know
what to make of it, until Knarf,
who had run somewhat ahead and

hanging rocks, cried: "Here they
are!"
"Who ?" exclaimed the oth
ers, greatly excited.
"The skaters!"
They hastened over to the end
of one of the overhanging rocks
where Knarf was lying flat on his
stomach and pointing down to
the water.
"There they are!" he said.
An odd sight met their eyes.
About two dozen little black
specks were zigzagging up and
down on the surface of the water
around the rock. They moved in
quick flashes, getting out of each
other's way in the most extraor
dinary fashion.
"Why," Yam said in astonish
ment, "they do really look as

though they were skating!
"Hello," Mij called down to
them. "Are you really skating?"
The little specks halted abrupt
ly, and the shadows observed that
they were little black bugs, about
half the size of a pea. They gazed
up at them.
"Of course we're skating," said
one.
"We're water-skaters!" an
nounced another.
"All water-Fkaters skate!" said
a third.
"This is our skating pond,"
said a fourth.

as though they were floating on
it. That would have been perfectly
understandable. It was their
standing up on it on all their feet
that was astonishiuo:.
"How do you manage to do it?"
Hanid wanted to know.
The water-skaters chuckled.
"It's the easiest thing in the
world. All you have to dt la keep
your feet from breaking tnrough
the surface of the water. Anybody
can do it!"
"Can 1?" Knarf demanded sud
denly becoming interested in the
idea.
"Certainly you can! Just step
down lightly on the water. Then
shuffle your feet from side to side
and you'll skate off at once."

seasoning and boil for fifteen min

The steak should be large, thi k,
well scored and brushed over with
a Tittle soft butter if broiled on
the folding broiler. If broiled
right on the carefully prepared
coals, western fashion, it does not
need the butter. When done, but

A supply of radishes and seai
lions may be taken to eat with
the steak and a pot of horseradiih
will also be appreciated. Steel
knives and plated forks the Ui
