Two " We won't gain anything by etstod-1 ing here on the street arguing about it," replied her sister, her voice cold and hard. 4 "Come on home, and, if you insist upon continuing this discussion,; we can do so there in the privacy of our own room.". ; She walked ahead, her cheeks flushed, angry words trembling on her lips. Caryl followed, a few : paces behind fter. Tears of loneliness and disi couragement half blinded the older girl as she reached the avenue beyond v hich lay their deoination. "I can't stand this kind of thing! It isn't fair!" she whispered over and over to herself. She collided with some one on , the curb, but was too deeply immersed ! in her own unhappy thoughts to pause : to apologize. She was half-way across the avenue when the sudden bleat of an automobile horn and a shrill scream behind her made her gasp with terror. She turned so quickly that the speedIng taxicab brushed her skirts and the I driver shouted an oath at her but she did not heed it. For on the curb she had Just left 1 stood Caryl, supported by a tall man in !a gray overcoat. Julia sprang toward I them. Oh, Caryl!" she cried, "are you i hurt" The man smiled reassuringly and j lifted his hat. "I think she is only badly scared," he said pleasantly. "I 'am afraid I was a little sudden and rough, but I had to grab her pretty quick or she would have been struck." "No, Julia," answered Caryl unsteadily. "I was frightened th?.t's all. I would have been killed if it hadn't been for this gentleman," she added, smiling up into her rescuer's face. "We are more grateful to you than we can ever say," stammered Julia. The man nodded easily as he re-J leased his hold on the younger girl and turned to go. "Please don't be grateful," he said. "It was only my good luck that you need be thankful for. I'm glad I happened along just in the nick of time." "But," said Caryl shyly, "won't you WOMEN WANT CENSORSHIP OVER MOVIE FILM SHOWS INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 17.

it's a cinch, 1 tell you! A furnished cottage at that rate for the month of August." "If we could take it alone," faltered Helen. ' "Kh? Why not with Carrie and the children? We'd have a jolly good time. They're coming around after dinner to talk it over. Why the deuce don't she fill these?" Warren pounded a salt shaker against the table. "It's the damp weather try this one. Dear, you know how Carrie is we nerer could get along! Why, she'd want to run the whole" "Now. see here, we're not going to chuck a chance like this because you are so blamed difficult. Anybody can get along with Carrie easiest person in the world lo get. along with." When Warrn lauded his sister, Helen always took refuge in silence. And now she listened without comment while he expatiated on their luck in setting a cottage at the shore for the hottest month of the year. They had just left the table when ("arrie and little Bobbie arrived. Lawrence was coming later. "My. isn't it hot?" Carrie sank into a chair by the window. "I think I've felt it more today than any time this summer." "Yes, it's very close,' admitted Helen, giving her a fan. "Here Bobbie, here's a nice little stool for you." Disdaining the stool Bobbie squirmed up on the couch with his dusty shoes. " "Well, has Warren told you about the cottage?" asked Carrie crisply. "Yes, he spoke of it at dinner." "It's one of the best cottages down there only five minutes from the station. No no. Bobbie mustn't do that," as Bobbie tested the couch springs by bouncing up and down. "Ccme over here by mama." "Here's a nice picture book,' coaxed Helen, taking a fashion magazine from the table. "Oh, you mustn't chase poor pussy. "How many rooms? demanded "Warren clipping the end of his cigar. "Eight. We'd want the lower floor on account of the children. But you and Helen will love the upstairs there's a big sleeping porch. No no, pet, just look at that book. Don't tear out the pictures." "Heres one he can tear up." Helen got an older number. "Oh, here's a real cut-out picture,' turning to the children's page. "A-, dolly and her dress!" And she showed him how to tut along the dotted lines.

Copyright. 1916, by the McCIure Mr. Fox was more than usually hun- j gry one night, and when the daylight began to dawn, he was still very uun-j gry, because he, had not been success-; ful in getting into the bouse where the hens, and chickens slept So Mrv Fox bid himself behind a stone wall, and when at break of day the rooster crowed and hens began to walk abroad. Mr. Fox poked his nose around the end of the wall and sniffed. Black Hen was young, and Black Hen was also very plump and good to look at, and Mr. Fox selected her at once as the party he would like to have to go home with him for breakfast Black Hen was inquisitive, too, and never having seen Mr. Fox or any of his family, she walked, with quick steps toward the place wbere she had seen something move, and that some-! thing was Mr. Fox's nose. When Black Hen turned the corner at the end of the stone wall, she had time to give one loud squeak and then Mr Fox trotted off with her, held firmly in his mouth. But . that cry had warned all the barnyard, and all the hens and chickens and the roosters and the doog, too, ran out into the road in time to see what had happened. Now, while Black Hen was young she was a wise creature and she knew well that the dog Rover would follow Mr. Fox. but what she feared was that he would reach his den before Rover caught him, and that would be the end of her. She opened her eyes and she could see by twisting her neck a little that Mr. Fox had a beautiful tail, but as she had never seen Mr. Fox before, as I told you, she did not know that he meant her no good by the grip he had upon her poor little neck. "What a handsome creature you are, to be sure," said Black Hen. "and what a handsome tail you have! I am most fortunate to be your choice of all the hens to be carried off. I cannot tell you how proud I am to be your choice." Mr. Fox did not answer, of course, because his mouth was busy, so Black Hen said again: "How I wish I could get a better look at your tail. It is as tuick as a brush and far more handsome." Mr. Fox began to feel quite pleased that Black Hen should think he was handsome, but still he made no reply, for the dog was still barking and following him. "I wish that dog would stop barking and following us," said1 Black Hen. "I wonder if he thinks I am not old enough to know my own mind; do tell him we wish he would go back and not bother us any more." Mr. Fox thought that was a good way to be rid of Rover, so he said. "You tell him. my dear, he will believe you." Before Mr. Fox was done speaking Black Hen flew to a branch of a tree, just beyond the reach of Mr. Fox, and then he knew what she had been trying to do all the time; she had wanted to make him speak, and, of course, he MUXATED IRON Increases strength of delicate, nervous, rundown people 200 per cent, in ten days in many instances. $100 forfeit if it fails as" per f 11 explanation in large article soon to appear in this paper.
