She lives , with her brother, Jim, his wife Esther, and three grown children, Laura, James and Violet. Only violet believes in her. Violet's desire to go to college rouses Enid from her lethargy, she draws out her small amount of money, and they go to the city. Here they both suddenly realize the possibilities of life. When they go back to the country for the summer, , they are changed Enid growing young and pretty. Violet maturing into a charming girl. Enid refuses Mark Upjohn, a girlhood ' beau, now a widower, who wants to marry her; Violet is unhappily in love with Bud Pearsoll. When they come back to town, Bud is with a wild crowd of men. Chapter 67 . Yet when VI did get the story from Bud, it was meagre in its details and unsatisfactory enough to both, of us. He came around the following evening and had dinner with up. As Vi was not attending classes yet, she had the whole day to prepare for that dinner and it was amusing to see her. "I'm going over to the Italian market and see if .they have artichokes," she said. "Ill Jo the marketing, don't bother." - So off she set with a basket, while I scoured and cleaned and brought out the treasured possessions we had stored for the stammer. There was more than enough work, even in these few rooms, tor the summer dust.had settled down on everything, and Helen had not had time to keep things clean. "I've gone over the surface," I said finally, late, in the .afternoon. .."Tomorrow 111 begin; and ' scrub. 1 This whota place needs it and 1 -think I'll give the woodwork a new coat of white paint." "All right, tomorrow," Vi answered, somewhat impatiently. "I only want it to look nice for our dinner tonight," She put away her packages, rolled up her sleeves, and began working fast. She served a delicious dinner, doing all the work herself, and even making tiny, flaky biscuits.' And Bud ate ravenously. He always had a healthy appetite, but tonight he seemed so hungry that I wondered whether he had eaten any lunch. I did not know till later that, the only good meals he ate those few-weeks, yiaa at lift 1a anat4mant Finally he leaned back comfortably, the last of a third helping of frothy dessert finished, and his demi tasse before him. Vi was very particular about thi3 little end of her'dinner ceremony. She brought in our nicest China pot and the little coffee cups on a separate tray, and served it all as daintily as she could. "I think I'll go over to see Helen," I began. I'll pack the dishes and do them later." ' "I'll do them," Vi said. I looked at her in her pretty blue taffeta a little worn now, but still most attractive on her, ' and shook my head. "Xo. don't go; I want to tell Vi if-omething, and I want you to hear it too." Bud said. That settled it. I sat down and waited. But first of all Bud rolled himself a cigarette, to smoke as he drank his coffee. And this amazed me, too. Bud usually smoked an excellent brand of gold tipped cigarrettes, and I had never seen him practice this economy. Plainly, something had happened. , - "The first part is an apology and a confession. "-he said, and sent a little jharae-faced smile at Vi. "I have seen Pet? this summer." I know that." "You do!" All the drama of his confession gone. Bud could do nothing hut look confused and ashamed of himself. Evidently he did not know about the postcard Vi reecived from Pete! "Well, I don't know how you know," he said, after a time. "I told you, I promised you, when you left tbat I wouldn't run with that crowd any more. But of course 1 couldn't promise not to see Pete. I run across him all the time in my work, and we eat at the same quick lunch place." "You might change the place " "Oh, come, Bud protested. "It's the cheapest and best in that part of the city. Believe me. I know! I've gotten indigestion trying them all. Well, our lunch" time is the same, so I saw him most every day. "Then he kept wondering why I didn't so out. I guess I did everything but tell liim I didn't, want to see him. But Pete is a thick-skinned fellow he never knows when he is not wanted." Vi was looking at him, her blue eyes all intensity. Bud poured himself another demi-tasse and went on. "I couldn't say I promised you not to see him. could I?" He reached over and took Violet':; hand. But strange to say, she drew her hand away. "I couldn't be ridiculed for being tied to a girl's apron string." he went on, a faint suggestion of a sneer coming around his mouth. "So finally I said I was trying to save money, and couldn't afford to go with him. He said he liked paying the bills and he does, you know; he likes to give big parties," Bud went on, defending his friend. "Yes. Pete is generous." I agreed.

Get-Rich-Quick Bubbles That Have Burst By HARLEY MATTHEWS HOW A GAMBLER'S SCHEME RUINED A NATION

Americans of today are not the only people who have sought short cuts to wealth. It is a tendency as old as money Itself. Nor throughout history have other nations shown any more caution than modern Americans in embarking on ventures that promised to bring them wealth. What follows here is the story of the great "Mississippi Bubble", how it was blown and how it burst, leaving a nation in want and misery. In the year 1716 there came to the court of France one John Law, a man of forty-five, polished and plausible; as one would be who from the age of 17 had supported himself in the gaming houses of Europe. He came at a good time for his purpose. Owing to the wars of Louis XIV and his extravagances the government was nearly bankrupt. To. the Duke of Orleans, who was Regent of France during the infancy of the Dauphin, John Law presented himself. Soon, because of his recent successes at the card tables, he was being talked of as a financier of repute, though previously his reputation amongst men had been that of a hard gambler, and amongst women as a great gallant "beau Law" they called him. It was not long before he had the regent listening to his schemes for the rehabilitation of France's finances. Soon Law was allowed to set up a private bank of his own. It was a successful venture. In a short time the paper issued by him was being accepted before cash in many parts of the country. Encouraged by this success Law now proposed to the regent that a trading company should be established to exploit, in conjunction with the bank, the Mississippi Valley of America. The company would have a capital of $20,000,000 at $100 a share, in purchasing which government notes for $100 but only worth $30 would be accepted at their nominal value The launching of the scheme had far greater success than even Law expected. Because of the stability of his bank people rushed to become shareholders in the company. Amongst them tradesmen and laborers clutching the savings of a lifetime, dukes and duchesses, marquises and marchionesses, counts and countesses stood waiting outside Law's house to register their applications. No sooner were the shares bought than they rose in price. The company was given further trading privileges in Chiiia. Law promised dividends of 120 per cent. The regent wanted $300,000,000 to pay off the national debt. He suggested that $300,000,000 new shares be issued and Law agreed. They could have got three times the money. From all over the country people came to Law's house in the Rue Quincampois filled with dreams of boundless wealth. Brokers came to do their business in the street for the shares in the Mississippi company were the only stock dealt in now. In the neighborhood rents rose fifteen fold. A cobbler got $100 a day for leasing his booth in the street to a broker. A hunchback was paid $40 a day to allow a broker's clerk to use his hump as a desk amongst the crowd, bidding frenziedly for shares. Accidents were frequent. At evening there were riots, and soldiers cleared the streets. For the public safety Law had to move to the Hotel de Soissons. In the gardens amongst tents of all hups and brokers garbpd in distinguishing colors the speculation in the company's stock went on. A frenzy for riches was on the whole nation now even with people who had once scoffed at the scheme. Law had become the most important man in the country. He was beset night and day by people requesting him to allot them shares. Every trick was tried to get a word with him, even by peers and judges, huge bribes being paid to his servants. One lady had her coach upset in front of Law and when he came to assist her asked to I

Eaton Officials Take Office; One Disqualified EATON, O., Jan. 4 Two county officials elected at the last November election . took their . offices Monday morning. Sheriff George Jones, reelected, entered upon his second term. Ralph O. Sever, of Lewisburg, took up his duties as prosecutor, succeeding Phfi Saylor, of West Alexandria, who had served three consecutive terms.. Dr. S. P. Carter, of West Manchester, coroner-elect, did not qualify Monday tor his office, as he did not call for his commission at the office of Clerk of Courts V. O. Rookstool. He returned his bond unsigned, according to one of the county commissioners. POSTS INSTALL OFFICERS. OXFORD, O., Jan. 4. Millikin Post, G. A. R.. and Millikin Relief Corps last night jointly installed offlctrs for the; current year Mrs. Nettie I Mason i will head the relief corps, and Henry C. Ferris will be commander of the post. have her name put down for shares. Stock rose 20 per cent in a few hours. People who had bought early made fortunes. Needy aristocrats were able to re-establish themselves in a splendor such as the family had never known before. And business in Paris boomed. Inns were full, tailors and shopkeepers had so many customers that wages and prices rose. Wherever John Law passed he was followed by cheering crowds. But there was a Prince de Conte who had tried by every means to become a subscriber to the later issue of shares. Law, however, had ignored his application, permitting one of his own female admirers to get the shares the prince coveted. The prince waited his time. One morning three wagons loaded with paper stood before Law's bank. The paper was all notes issued by the bank and gold was demanded for them. Law paid up, but de Conte's apparent distrust infected the people. More and more came to the bank to make withdrawals. Stockbrokers and others expecting this turn bought up gold and packed it out of the country. In a week the government was forbidding people to leave the country, and it was made illegal to have gold at all. Everywhere was suspicion and alarm. This run on the bank had its effect on the Mississippi stock. So quickly did it fall that the government to restore public confidence, ordered the mendicants of Paris to be conscripted for labor in the supposed gold mines of Louisiana. But public confidence had flown. On May 27, 1720, the bank stopped payment. The following night Law only escaped the vengeance of a mob by the courageous driving of ' his coachman. Riots broke out, and to quiet them the bank re-opened, but it could only pay in silver. That only lasted a few days and then payments were made in copper, the people rolling their with drawals away in barrels. The crowd thronged the doorways, and hardly a day passed without somebody being crushed to death. In a sudden panic one day 15 people were squeezed to death against the wall. Soldiers guarded the street, and fired every now and then to quell the mob. I Law left the country, and with only I a diamond ring worth about. $25,000 1 made for. Venice. The rest of his mon ey Invested in France was confiscated. He took to gambling again, pawning and re-pawning his ring, and died nine years later in poverty. But till the end he always insisted that it was the avarice of the French people that had brought about the collapse. "I did not reckon on such greed," he said. "At least I can say I never enriched myself at their expense." So ended the dream of France. Many of its people, desnairine of ever j seeing the country prosperous again, emigrated to that Louisiana which was to have brought them wealth, determined to try themselves for a fortune there. Whether they found it or not the history of another nation relates. STATE'S COAL PRODUCTION 75.7 PER CENT OF NORMAL WASHINGTON, Jan 4.

Do not try to use peroxide on your, little girl's hair. Children's light hair often darkens as they grow and it is more becoming in the new shade. You may use the juice of half a lemon In ' the rinse water to lighten it, and you may give it as many sun baths as possible. Anne If you will rub the part of the face where the superfluous hair grows with a little pumice stone it will keep down the growth, but be snre vou do not irritate the nkin Rub bing it with a solution of half perox-J ide of hydrogen and half ammonia will discourage this growth of hair, but probably will not kill it. Pulling the thick hair out will not bring iiva heavier growth. , Mr. I. C. M. I cannot tell you exactly what your skin trouble is, without knowing more about your general symptoms. Use only a very mild soap on the face, and if this makes it smart, use cleansing cream and cold water and no soap for a time. If it seems very bad I would advise you to see your doctor. Cassinelli B. Do not try to darken brown hair to make it black. It would be impossible to make it pretty enough to justify the change. With such a charming combination as brown hair, brown eyes, clear skin and high color, you will look well in the brunette shades henna, orange, brown, yellow, red, bronze, and practically every pastel tint. Certain types of shoes will make the instep seem higher. You will have to experiment until you find which becomes you most. Mr. W. B. A. B. I am not sure that the type of work you are doing effects your hair. If you wear stiff hats, change and wear only soft hats and caps. Meantime for the dandruff, purchase some crude oil from any paint, hardware or drug store. The night before you intend washing the hair, heat this as hot as the scalp will take it, and rub it in thoroughly. Shampoo with sulphur soap and after the shampoo rub in a little olive oil. Oil is the best weapon with which you can fight dandruff. Miss Catherine If your hair is naturally auburn it is beautifully easy to keep it its original color when it- begins to turn grey. Use henna on it, and if you use it carefully enough no one wiil suspect that there was any grayness. Henna is not only harmless, but is very good for the hair. I would advise you to massage under the chin with cold cream and then rub EMPLOYMENT OF FOREIGN LABORERS CAUSES STRIKE H AZLETON, Pa., Jan. 4 All the anthracite mines of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company in the Panther creek valley are tied up today by a strike over the employment of sixty Spaniards and Portuguese.
