A Woman' ByZoe ( THE OTHER BIDDER chucked my job! I'm going toee-lance be a writer, Janet! Cratulate me!" Walter Stedman ly cried as Janet came into their ye after her rest at pill Farms f. But the congratulations were not Incoming. With her own position -ne. Janet could not frame words of elightand encouragement not at iiat Instant. But nbo kissed him a ioving greeting and tried to throw all the loyalty and iove 6he felt into her wrds as she held him off at arm s letgth and said, "The best or gooa luut. to you, dear! rm-wltn you to thi last beat of my heart ana tne last wggle of my mind and the last atf all else V have in the world v Walt knew she was going to say ind the last, dollar I have." The (ere thought of drawing upon her vings sickened him. The glow suddenly left his face. "I hope never to ,eed even atl of my own savings," he laid heavily. "Most certainly I shall Ayer touch a penny of yours, Girl, no liter how much lovo was back of "friow, Waltie," she said miserably1 only meant " ", listen, Jan," said Walt, sit'Vwfft6wn beside her. "Dyi't you see thgve got to strike out if -if I am to?P you?" it I don't want to be kept.. I always make my own living and I nt to do It." Janet knew it was icely that Walt meant "keep" as jort. But she could not bring herJto imagine he could mean it in other sense. No, Janet, I mean that I've got to 'ike out as I did. if I want to keep u from Roy Nicoll!" "Wait! Your words say something ' Bimply won't believe you mean." he cried. "Justwhat do you mean?" ' "Janet, Roy Nicoll has both money and brains." Walt said. "He has millions. I have barely a thousand lajYorlously saved. It'll be lucky if I pn't have to use up every bit of it fefore my work as a writer begins to 4y! " "You're too sensible a woman to eny that he loves you and that he Hll do anything to win you." Janet roBe. "That's not true!" she fetorted with the swift indignation a woman alvays feels when a vague suspicion that it may be true assails her. "Bui if it were, what would it inave to io with your free-lancing?" "Only this," said Walt quietly, "that as long as I'm an advertising writer I at fortflve a week, I'll have to compete wth his quarter-million a year! I My on' chance to win you and keep I you is to strike for the big prizes I in wring if I am to compete with ' nim!' ' Wit Stedman, you shame me! ; you Urt me!" Janet cried, her face 1 aflanV ber lips trembling. "Do you j mlsti me for a woman who chooses a mi because he has money " Vt seized her hands. and kissed the) , , , . , dear heart, you would stick to too? I dragged you to starvation!" hUld with a break in his voice. "I ojlhe one who would surrender to .toy Nicoll means nothing to me!" yced that life with me would mean aury, limitation, grubbing, confineent to a narrow sphere, a choked to I myself would set yoti free. I ove you too much to bind you to littleness. That's why I must strike out for success in a big way. I must open up life for you as big, as broad, "as Interesting, as rich and fruitful as i anything Roy Nicoll can offer!" toy Nicoll. If I ever become con- ' iinet cried passionately. , !"If I were he and had his money, I could mean everything to you!" fait replied. "I would buy the means i big, broad life with my money and " fer it to you. And I tell you, Janet, PPROVE USE OF LAND FOR BASEBALL The Saturday afternoon league may get the use of the bottoms near the city light plant for a baseball diamond. Recommendation that the league be ' allowed to use the ground was made at the board of works meeting Monday bv James Dillon, light plant superin tendent, and was received favorably. North A street from Ninth street west was discussed as a parking ground for automobiles, but no action was taken. The proposed plan would take the center of the street for a park and leave west and east channels of traffic on each side. The city light plant superintendent was Instructed to take out liability insurance on motor cars used by the plant, and two private taps to city sewers were ordered. .

I shall do everything in my power to give you life the broadest kind of life even if I have to give you up io do it! But I shall not give you up to Roy Nicoll " The shrilling of the telephone neu cut him off. Janet answered. " "No!" Walt heard her exclaim. "We cannot see you tonight! No, nor tomorrow! Goodbye " . Walt caught the receiver irom ner band. "Who is It?" he asked of the speak er at the other end of the wire. "It is 1, Roy Nicoll," the voice came. "I want to see you and Janet as soon no nnsnlhle tonieht If I may. I have a proposition to make of the greatest importance to ner to ootn oi you: "Yon can sen us rlzht away. Come up!" Walt said grimly, as he hung up the receiver. , (To be continued.) WASHINGTON "Look at old four eyes! "See Skinny with the glasses. Bet he thinks he's smart with th' win dows.' Thus was the boyhood of the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt marked by two discouraging physical imperfections his weak eyes and a frail "body. There are thousands of boys in America today who are obliged to wear glasses, and whose physical strength is below normal, who hear the taunts of their companions with the same righteous anger that swept over young Teddy. And for the youngters of today there is Inspiration in which Teddy decided to do. In "The Fighting Roosevelts," an au thorized version of his life and works, to be presented at the Washington theatre, starting tomorrow Is -pictured the courage and vigor with which he began and carried out the effort to build up his body and gain the strengh which stood him in such good stead during a long and arduous career. He refused to recognize any obstacle as a menace to his ambition. His virile courage, his tenacity of purpose, and the remarkable will power, steady and unswerving, and thoroughly demonstrated in the great screen drama based on his career from the cradle to the white house, are an incentive to young America to emulate his typical American spirit of indomitable ability to conquer any handicap. MURRETTE. The Paramount-Artcraft special picture production of "Little Women," a plcturization of Louisa M. Alcott's wonderful story written half a century ago and still as popular as ever, is drawing vast crowds to the Murrette theater Monday and Tuesday. It is a delightful quaint and charming story which pleases old an young alike. The heroines Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy are splendidly portrayed and they visualize these famous literary characters with telling effect MURRAY. There is considerable college atmosphere in the early scenes of "Come Again Smith," J. Warren Kerrigan's newest picture, which will be displayed for the frst time in this city

today and tomorrow nlgbt at the Mur ray theatre. The locale of this por-; tlon of the story is the University of j California, where Smith, waa one of ! the most popular students. To bis I companions he was known as "Come Again " on account' of the fact that whenever he was spending his father's money, be was always requested to "come again, Smith." And during his three years at the University, he was only called his right name Joethree times. MUSICAL NOVELTIES TO BE PRESENTED .BY, NEW SEXTETTE Something of what the musical patrons of the city can expect to hear at the concert recital of the Richmond High School Sextette, to be given next Wednesday evening in. the High' School Auditorium, may be judged by the announcement that two novelties will be presented. They are the "Ballet Egyptian," by Luigini, and the three dances from the music to "Henry VIII." by Edward German. The "Egyptian Ballet" should be of special interest to Richmond people, because of the place it has attained in the libraries of classical music. The ballet is written in the form of a minature symphony, having four distinct movements, all interwoven by a strong symphonic undercurrent. It has appeared on many of the popular concerts of many of our symphony orchestras, and received much applause wherever presented. The appearance of the "Dances of "Henry VII" on the program should bring out a large audience, since they have been heard in Richmond before. They were played here several years ago by the old Richmond Symphony orchestra. Another feature of the program will be the debut of Corwin Brown, violinist, in solo appearance before a Richmond audience. Brown is one of the advanced pupils of. JYederiek Hicks. He will play Mynarskis "Mazurka." . The Sextette includes some of the best amateur musicians of the city. They are Mary Jones and Corwin Brown, violins: Heistand Brown, flute; Helen Roland, 'cello; Marius Fossenkemper, clarinet; and Misj Edna Marlatt, assistant supervisor of public school music, piano. No admission will be charged for the concert. 1 Small Boys Attempt to Blow Up Troop Train HALIFAX, Feb. 24. The arrest here Saturday of two 12-year-old boys disclosed a daring attempt yesterday to 'wreck a main line train on the Intercolonial railway and the narrow escape of several thousand passengers, including two thousand returned Canadian troops. Severf sticks of dynamite had been placed on the rails where they were found by the track The police said the boys confessed the theft of the dynamite and their intention of wrecking the train. Five trains passed over the explosive, but it was explained that the first train, a special with the editors of forty western Canadian papers aboard, probably so vibrated the rails that the dynamite sticks rolled harmlessly between the ties.

HEART AND BEAUTY PROBLEMS

By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson

. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am going with a young man of twenty.. He is always kind and thoughtful and says he loves me. I think a great deal of him also. Recently, he went home on a visit. Since he has been gone I get letters from him all the time. He still says he loves me, but when I asked him when be was coming home he said he could not come for a while and also could not tell me the reason. I wrote and asked why he couldn't telLme and he says he will tell me as soon as he gest back. Shall I wait until he comes and let him explain or write and demand an explanation? .- DIMPLES. Do not demand an explanation. He is not unreasonable in asking you to wait. ,.'!; . Dear Mrs. Thompson : I have been a widow for two months. My husband died of the influenza and left me with a three-year-old girl to support. My friends have been very kind to me and I have had two positions offered me. One position is in an office and I would take It in a minute if it did not separate me from my little girl. The other position is to keep house for a widower with three children. Two of his children are In high school and the other is a little girl five years old. He is willing that I should keep my little girl with me. What would you advise me to do? MRS. C. I would advise you to take the position of housekeeper whero you would not be separated from your child. If you took up offlce work you would have to confront the problem of paying .rent and board for the two of you, but as housekeeper all the money you make will be clear. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Do you think, that in writing to a girl whom I have never met I did right? I saw this girl several times during an evening not long ago and she saw me. In fact we seemed to be attracted by each other to some extent. I did not get jthe chance to open conversation with her, although I wanted to greatly. - I live in a different town, and so when I reached home I wrote to her, but have never received an answer. I merely asked her to write, for I thought perhaps I could get acquainted in that way. I found her address from a person who lives in that town. I want very much to know her for Thistlethwaite's Six Cut RATE DRUG STORES V Specials for Tuesday and Wednesday 2 Lbs. Lima Beans ..25 2 Lbs. Navy Beans . . 19d 5 Lbs.

she looked to be a nice girl. Would you write again and send a photo or a snapshot of yourself. HAPPY. You should not have written to the girl without having an Introduction first. If I were in your place I would write a note saying that you did not realize that it was improper to write in the first place. Do not plead for further acquaintance, because you have no right to ask it, and do not send a photograph or snapshot. Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are three high school girls and are considered quite good-looking. We dress becomingly, but the boys don't seem to like us. Can you tell us what is the matter? We have quite a few girl friends, but the boys only go with us once or twice and drop us. We act lady-like when with them. THREE HIGH SCHOOL BUDS. It is very difficult to tell girls how to become popular with boys. I think though, if you dance, play tennis, and enter Into the various other sports, you will find it easier to interest boys. You must always keep up with the times. Read current magazines, good books and pay attention to your studies. Personality grows out of inter

Widow RefUes Damage Suit Against Railroad Because a man can sue for a much larger amount on account of Injuries than his relatives can because of his death, the suit of John Underhill against the Big Four for $15,000 has been dismissed and his widow now Is suing the railroad for $10,000. He was twice injured in the fall of 1916, the first time when he was struck by a train, the second time when he fell from tiie steps of a moving car. These injuries finally caused his death, the complaint alleges.
