Her tones raag out clearly, and the chauffeur grinned as he took his seat. A man passing paused, looked ; at the girls, lifted his hat and smiled. Caryl flushed brightly, but .laughed. As the cab started Julia turned upon her sharply. "We may as well begin as we mean to . keep on, Caryl," she warned her, "and as I am older than you I have a right to insist that you -do not behave in this way any more. In the first place, this is an extravagance, and it's wrong for us to set a pace that we can not keep." Caryl pouted. "Half of. what the cab costs will be paid by me," she reminded her companion. "So you need not talk as if you were paying for everything, or for more than your share. And this one ride isn't going to make or break either of us so why not enjoy it? Come, Julia, don't be cross!" -She laid her hand on her sister's arm, and the older girl spoke more gently. "I'm not cross, sis," she replied. "But you do not appreciate how indiscreet you are, and it startled me to see that man speak to us Just now. If you hadn't raised your voice as you did he wouldn't have noticed us. You most be more careful, for you don't know anything about the kind of men you may meet here in a strange city." But the younger girl only laughed at her sister's anxiety. "Poor Julia!" ehe exclaimed. "You do take things o hard! You say that we-may as well begin as we mean to go. Very well I bstdo with vnn thpr Thf

be sensible!" ; "That's what I'm trying to be." said the other gravely. i "Being sensible isn't looking as solemn as you do now," teased Caryl. "Please smile!" And gazing into the merry eyes, the older sister smiled in spite of the vague misgivings. Julia Marvin lost no time in seeking work. She hoped at first to get a position in - one of the fashionable stores, but found that this was not as easy as she had supposed. She had had no experience and knew nobody in New York to whom she could refer as to her honesty and ability. She decided that she would write to her home town for a letter of recommendation from the clergyman whose church she always attended, and,

armed with his reply to her request, she sought out a large department store which was not counted among the "swell emporiums" of the city. Here she was given an application to fill In, and after a day or two of waiting she received the comforting news that there would be a vacancy which she might take the next week. The salary at first would be ten dollars and a half, paid every half month in other words, only twenty -one dollars a month besides which she would receive a commission of one cent n every dollar's worth she sold. "That starvation pay!" exclaimed Caryl when she heard this. "And in

such a common store, too! You're a chump to take such a place." "I don't agree with you!" retorted Julia. "Baird's is, at least, a respectable store, and I have to begin on a little wherever I go. "Well." declared Caryl, "I wouldn't work in a store, but if I did I would choose one where I could see all the gorgeously dressed people coming in and out. Oh." with a sigh, "things aren't fair in this world; anyway. Look at the stunning clothes ome people have, and here we are you, with a poor little Job in prospect, and me trying to get ready to go to work " To be continued

"Gentlemen, I am shaking the dust of New York's male oligarchy from feet. I am. going west where the men have recognized the justice of

woman's plea for political equality." Thus expressing her dissatisfaction with the men of New York for voting against the suffrage amendment last fall, Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blatch bade goodby to a big crowd that gathered at the Pennsylvania station to say farewell to the suffrage crusaders to the "free states." Mrs. Blatch, addressing the crowd on the front steps of the New York station, said: "We are going west to organize a woman's political party in the voting states to make political parties this year behave on the question of suffrage."

The elevator boy took the key and showed them up to a room on the third floor, large but cheaply furnished. : "All, right; this'll do," announced Warren, in response to Helen's eager nudging. "I'll register as we come down."

Helen glanced in at the bath with its

the assembled company, rollickin

The Real Critic

Copyright. 1916, by the McClure Once upon a time in a pretty cave covered with blossoming vines there lived together two friends. Fox and Wolf. The place was warm and the floor nicely carpeted with leaves, so the home was very cozy, and as they divided the duties of housekeeping and hunting, their life passed pleasantly. ..Once they both went on a long hunt down in the canebrake by the river, and there they met a Miss Wildcat. Not the fighting kind, but a gentle one with beautiful striped fur. So both Fox and Wolf fell desperately in love. She smiled first on Fox and then on Wolf, so neither could see which was ahead. So one day when Fox asked her which she would take, she declared that the lucky one must be put to a test. "--'I , am very fond of partridge for breakfast," she said, "and - will make, this the test. The first one to bring me a partridge in the morning will be my husband, and the wedding can take place at once." Both Fox and Wolf went to bed early that night, but Fox fell asleep first. When Wolf heard him snoring he slipped out and rolled a great stone before the door. "That will make the place so dark Fox will think it is night till I come oack." said Wolf to himself, as he lay

"I feel so awfully weak, Wolf," said Fox again, "that I will have to put this bridle over your head so I can hold on and not fall." So he put the bridle over Wolf's head, and sat up straight. Then in his heels he had placed sharp thorns for spurs. As soon as he saw

"It is impossible that Wolf could be late!" exclaimed Fox. "But if he is, will you marry me, Miss Wildcat, if I take his place?" "Of course," laughed the bride, "if either of you are late, the one on the spot gets -me." "I promise not only to be on time, but tc come riding on the finest horse

Warren hesitated, then with frowj.

down on a bed of leaves under a tree. At dawn Wolf was up, and, finding a partridge, he took it to Miss Wildcat, then returned home to find Fox still asleep. "Goodness, but I have slept lite this morning," exclaimed Fox when he saw how high the sun was, but he also noticed the stone near and that it had been moved. Suspecting that a trick had been played on him, he kept quiet and waited. That night when Wolf and Wildcat were chatting in the moonlight before the , big tree, which was the bride's home. Fox came trotting up good naturedly. "I am most unhappy to have lost you, Miss , Wildcat," he said. "But I will be sure and be ready for the wedding tomorrow."

"I'll telPDi you came with me," said Brooke. "I'll ring you up later. Goodby." The great car sprang forward. Noel Crawley stood alone on the pavement. "She's not back yet!" exclaimed Brooke. "No, sir," said the hotel servant. "Her ladyship has not been back." "But didn't she sleep here?" "No, sir." "Any letters?" "Your man has them all, sir." "Thanks!" grunted Sir Godfrey Brooke, and went ' up to his private suite. Louise Berenger, Lady Brook's maid, was the first person he met. "Where's Collier?" he asked. Collier appeared almost before the sharp, incisive question was enunciated. "Where is is her ladyship?" . "We don't know, sir," answered Louise Berenger and Collier in one and the same breath. Brooke's brows "contracted. "Surely," he said, "there- is some message?" ' "None, sir, thSt I know of," answered Collier nervously. "And you?" queried Brooke, fixing a keen and penetrating glance upon mademoiselle. "I know nothing, m'sieur. I am greatly troubled and anxious. But we thought that you, m'sieur, would be sure to know." "But I don't know," replied Brooke, with almost childish irritability and disappointment. "I hope nothing is wrong, m'sieurj"

said Berenger, with a little catching!

of her breath.

"Wrong? Of course nothing's'

wrong," said Brooke, sharply. "What should be wrong? Nonsense! Collier bring me my letters. They may tell

me something. That will do," he ad-1 ded to the woman who was standing i

regarding him with growing alarm. The servants left the room, and Brooke sank into a chair and frowned. "Funny," he mused, "very funny! She's never done anything of this sort before. I wonder what it can be? I wonder bah! Of course there can be nothing wrong! Confound the woman .for DUtting the idiotic idea into my head!" He concentrated his thoughts calmly and coolly upon the problem, refusing to allow himself to become nervous and alarmed. There were many explanations, he told himself of course there were. She had evidently been called away suddenly. Her mother, Mrs. Melhuish was always ailing always alarming her daughter. To Be Continued.
