i wo .sisters

ByVirginia Terhune Van de Water

Julia smiled. tolerantly. at her little Bister's rhapsodies, yet enthusiasm is contagious, and she could not help feeling that New York would: be In every way a great improvement upon the provincial New England town in which she had always lived. ' '.

. "But this change means hard work," j she warned, "harder work than you have ever done in all your life, Caryl." "As If I minded that!" scoffed Crayl. "I won't object to work there, for I will be earning money." "What kind of work are you going to lo?" queried Julia. 1 The question staggered the younger lirl, but only for a moment. "Do? Why, I'll be a stenographer!" he replied. "They get good salaries :nd the work is not hard." Julia Bhook her head doubtfully. "You will have to learn the work first," she said. "It takes time and practice to learn stenography and typewriting, and it's expensive. It will .ake quite a bit of money. "Ill learn all right," prophesied the ;lrl confidently, "I'll go to some business -school and then it will be easy . o get a job. I've money enough to ! earn all that's necessary. To Crayl the ' four hundred dollars vhlch she and Julia had in the savings iiank seemed a fortune, and even her .nnrn nractlral ulster thought with a

glow of satisfaction that they would go o the city with ample funds to main-; cain them until they could get work rhat would enable them to support themselves even if they did not get such work immediately. That evening before supper, . as James Marvin was passing through the upper hall of his home, his daughters' door opened and Julia spoke to him. "Would you mind coming in here for a moment, father?" she asked. "There is a little matter we wish to talk to you about." , As he followed her suggestion he saw that a trunk that had belonged to his first wife stood in the middle of the room. Caryl knelt before it' packing in it the last of her belongings. "Since we are going away," said Julia, without further preliminary, "Caryl and I think that the sooner we start the better. What we want toask you is that, since the money we have In the bank is deposited in your name In trust for us, you will please draw It out for us tomorrow morning." James Marvin caught his breath. He had not thought that matters would come to this pass so soon. Had his daughters wept and moaned he would have known better how to deal with them. In the face of their calm determination he was strangly embar"Now, girls," he protested weakly, "don't be hasty about this. Your mother-I mean my wife and I don't feel that it is right that you should go off with hard feelings between us. Take a week or so to think it over." "We couldn't think it over more if we waited for a year, father," answered Julia firmly. "We are going tomorrow afternoon. Will you get the money for us in the morning?"

"Of course," said the man, "it's yours, and I'm willing to draw it out for you whenever you want it. But, see "here, I hate to have you go like !thls. Let bygones be bygones and let's ,make up, and you stay here and get work if you want to. You'll be lots more comfortable than you would in a strange place. I'll make it all right with your mother, , and she'll be willing to make another try at our living here together." The regret in his tone was so genuine that for a moment Julia hesitated, but Caryl forestalled any compromise her sister might have contemplated.

"Upon my word, father," she exclaimed. ; "to hear you talk anyone would think that we were going away of our own acoerd! .You know as well as I do that It's that wife of yours who's driving us from home, that she said she'd be glad to have us ,,. go! Perhaps you think that all this is only a whim of ours this going away to New York. But. it isn't! ". Then, her anger rising as she talked, she burst forth with a violence that surprised her father and sister. "I'd rather go to jail than live with that woman any longer! That's all there is to it!" Her sharp tongue had . banished the last chance of reconciliation. Julia

saw her father's eyes narrow and his face flush. "If you think I'm going to ask you to stay, you ungrateful piece," he blus tered, "you're much mistaken! If you want to go, then "go! I'm through with you. Maybe 111 have a little com

fort with you out of the house. Julia, IH draw that money for you in the morning." He hurried out of the room,; and Caryl, laughed with relief as she looked into her sister's perturbed countenance. "I thought I would make him let us go!" she said lightly. To Be Continued. ,

Helen caught Pussy Purr-Mew and shut her in the bathroom. Then the doorbell and voices in the hall. The detectives had come. - (To be Continued.)

Laura was a very spoiled little girt. I Her mother, who was a widow, had to take in sewing to care for herself and the child, so Laura could not get all the pretty dresses she wanted, or go to the moving pictures every day. Sad to say, this made her ill-natured. One cold January day Laura started out late to go for a bag of flour at the village store Times had not been good of late, for the ladies for whom the work was done had been slow in paying, and though the mother worked hard, she had not been able to collect the money. So this day, when, she gave Laura the 20 cents, she cautioned her to be careful not to drop it In the mud. . . Laura wrapped her coat tight about her shoulders and set out In the snow down the path. - "How I wish I could meet a fairy or some sort of a dwarf," she said aloud as she pushed through the slush. "If I ever had a chance at wishing I would get what I wanted." She did not see the round stone in her path. Her foot "struck it and with a cry she felt herself fall down till she hit plump on a soft mound of snow at the foot of the embankment. But in a moment she was on her Teet. Yet the place now seemyed strange. Down a stony road tramped a long procession of people with a queer look in their faces. Some wore clothing suited for summer, some had on furs and others were pedaling along on bicycles. Suddenly it began to rain,

At all costs Brooke must never know. That had been apology, his motive, his battle cry Brooke must never know! And so far Brooke did

not know so far! "I think." said Brooke, as he carefully drove the car through the busy traffic of a South London highway, "I shall have to sell tbat 'Circe' picture of yours, Crawley." The artist shuddered as he articu lated a reply. "Why?" he asked. "I don't know,' answered Brooke, "but somehow I feel I couldn't see that face the face of the dead woman looking at me. Don't you understand?" "Yes; I think I understand," muttered Crawley. "I think I will sell It back to Leveredge. He seemed to regret selling it to me." Crawley felt acutely uncomfortable, but again he found himself totally unable to deal with the immediate question at issue. Also he found himself thinking not, as. Brooke was, of Zoe. but of the pretty Folly Martin, whose mother, the well-known model, ihad sat at all the late Victorians, and jwhose grandmother and. great-grandmother between them had sat to most of the great European painters of the last half-century. "I shouldn't do that.' said Crawley, jTather absent-mindedly. "The less you have to do with Leveredge the i.better.7 1 "Well, then, I think IH burn the .thing." replied Brooke. "One thing I 'am certain of I could never see that fface again. Not now now that I know. "I am not, as you know, a nervous man, though just lately you may not have been inclined to agree with me, but I swear to you, Crawley, I could not do it!" j Crawley tried to say something, but ;his tongue clove to the roof of his mouth. He was speechless. "By the way," Brooke went on, "who was she? Don't you know anything about her at all?" "She . . . who?" stammered Crawley, with Ill-affected ignorance. "Zoe," Jerked out Brooke. "Zoe your Zoe. Don't you know anything about her?" To Be Continued.

Laura a big cake, a bag of apples and a ham and sent the girl home in the carriage. As the horses stopped the mother threw open the door, showing a pale, anxious face in the light."Don't be worried, mother," cried the girl joyously; "I am safe, and. what is better, I am going to be your partner in future, do the housework and collect your money." So it was a very happy mother and daughter that afterward lived in the neat, pretty cottage, for Laura never forgot her visit to the land of the WishingWater. Tomorrow's story - "Discontented Bennie Dog."

At Movies Tonight

LYRIC. "Caught on a Skyscraper," at the Lyric tonight. Oh, well, if a lady walks in her sleep and insists upon coming into Mr. Rawsberry's room despite her

husband's protests, what can anyone do about it? It certainly is not done in the best apartment hotels, but sonambulism is something which cannot be guarded against. Mr. Rawsberry was very anxious that the lady should not come anywhere near him, for her husband had threatened him on many previous occasions that if he, 6ald husband, caught Rawsberry even looking out of the corner of his eye on a dark night in the general direction of his, said hus-

, band's wife, there would be an assault, j murder in the first degree, lynching j and a general massacre all committed

on one ana tne same person, l. e., Mr.

Rawsberry.

As she caught the glint of the revolver, Helen's fears vanished in the thrilled vision of Warren dashing out, overpowering the intruder and binding him, spluttering and struggling while she phoned for the police. But he was getting back into bed! He was lying .down, .holding the revolver under the covers. The filing grew louder! A distinct click and the sliding of an opending drawer. "The silver! " breathed Helen. "Be still!" in a muttered whisper, gripping her with an iron hand.. Through the tremulous emotions of that moment came the sickening certainty that Warren was afraid! He would lie there quietly and safe until the burglar made his escape. Warren afraid! In a sort of dazed lethargy she waited. What would hap

pen next, it was as tnougn sne was detached apart from it all. The faint jingle of silver. Again the stealthy footsteps. A still fainter shuffling sound. Then silence. Springing out of ted Warren rushed out to the dining room and flashed on the lights. Instinctively Helen followed. On the floor was the empty silver drawer and the top of the sideboard

was bare. The window was open. The man had made his retreat down the fire escape and across the roof of the adjoining house. The next second Warren was at the 'phone giving the alarm. Helen had dropped into a limp, white heap on the dining-room floor, staring dully at the empty drawer. But she was not thinking of the silver. "Don't sit there gaping like a ninny," snapped Warren as he left the 'phone. "Get on some clothes!" She had hardly time to slip a negligee over her night gown when the night hall boy and the superintendent In his bathrobe came rushing up. "Made a clean get-away," announced Warren grimly. "Neat job:" Well, he's left some good clues." The superintendent was examining the window sill and the wet, muddy tracks on the rug. "Bet It's the same gink who cracked that safe at Kastors round the corner," muttered the hall boy.

When they had gone down again to wait for the police, Warren took from out the sideboard a bottle of

Scotch and poured himself out a good, stiff drink. "Here, you're white and shaky yet. Want some brandy?" Helen shook her; head. If only she could ask the question that kept beating within her but it was an unspeakable question. "Warren," her voice throbbed, could not you have well iven the alarm before he got away?" " "How? Risk having by block blown off to save a few spoons?" -Helen did not answer. She was looking at him with a remote, appraising gaze. - - . "What'd you expect heroics? Movie stuff? Want me to dash out and

but in a moment it turned to snowing, and the people ran wildly about. Then the sun came out hotly and some fainted from heat. "Goodness, but this is funny," exclaimed Laura. "Where am I and what is the matter here?" Just then an old woman hobbled up and the girl asked her' what kind of a place was this. "Oh! this is the land of the Wish-ing-Water," replied the woman. "When you fell off that bank you dropped into a mound of snow composed of water from the Wishing Well." "Never heard of the place," exclaimed Laura. "But how do I get home?" "Don't be in a hurry about that, child," replied the woman. "You can get on here all right. This is where all we wish for we have but the only trouble is that we are never satisfied after we get it. That is the reason it rains and snows, then is hot and cold, clear and cloudy so quickly one cannot prepare every one is wishing the weather, and it keeps changing faster than we can alter our clothing." "You will see that the richly dressed

people look unhappy, and so do the

others; but all have their wishes.

uartniana is just line tnis in many ways everyone there has their trou

bles, but they would be worse off if they all had their wishes as bad off as the people here. These people of the Wishing-Water land are those who never tried to make things better

but just wanted selfishly and lazily

to have their wishes without any work.

You see what they get."

Laura walked down the road a way, but the same sad procession kept

marching by.

Then the light grew stronger she saw her own mother bending over a machine while the dusty room, the kitchen cluttered up with dishes, showed that no one helped about the house to lighten her labors. The girl felt ashamed. Here she had been

wishing for riches and neglected to bring the comfort in her reach to .her own unselfish mother, who was spend--ing her life for her idle: daughter. "Hello, what's the matter?" exclaimed a voice in her ear, and Laura opened her eyes to find herself in the arms of big, strong Mr. Edwards. "I found you down at the bottom of the bank," he laughed. "Knocked senseless by the fall, but I guess you are all right now. But come on home with me to tea," and he placed the girl in his carriage and drove rapidly home. Laura ate a big supper and felt better. Then she resolved to be brave and 6tart right in now' helping her mother. So she explained to Mrs. Edwards the hard .luck in .which her mother was and asked if the bill could be settled. Mrs. Edwards not only

paid at once the full amount, but gavej Cafaa

PALACE. The next production on the Metro program is "Black Fear," a remarkable five part feature produced by Rolfe Photoplays, Inc., which will be seen here at the Palace tonight. This sensational feature contains an all-star cast headed by Grace Elliston of "The Lion and the Mouse" fame, and including Grace Valentine, Edward Brennan, Paul Everton, Mayme Kelso, John Tansey, the boy actor, and other notable screen and stage artists. The story is strikingly novel, and deals with the fast-growing cocaine habit in New York and in other large cities. The subject is treated in a masterly fashion without offering the slightest ground for even the most extreme moralist's objections, and there is a

beautiful story of love interwoven F

True Secret of Keeping Youthful Looking

(The Bemuty Seeker.) ' "The real secret of keeping youBg-looldnc nd beautiful," aaya a. well-known hycienist, "is to keep the liver and bowela normally active. Without these requisites, poisonous waste products remain in the system, polluting; the blood and lodging in various organs, tissues, joints. One becomes flabby, obese, nervoua, mentally sluggish, dull-eyed, wrinkled and sallow of face. "But to get liver and bowels working as they ought, without producing evil after-effects has been the problem. Fortunately, there ia a prescription of unquestioned ment, which may now be had la convenient tablet form. Its value ia due largely to an ingredient derived from the humble May apple, or its root, which haa been called 'vegetable calomel' because of its effectiveness though, of course, it is not to be classed with the real calomel of mercurial origin. There is no habit-forming constituent in 'sentanel' tablets that's the name and their use is not followed by weakness or exhaustion. On the contrary, these harmless vegetable tablets tend to impart tone and elasticity to the relaxed intestinal wall. Sentanel tablets, which may be procured from any druggist a dime's worth will do will prove a revelation to any. constipated, livertroubled person.'!
