"You know John is there on business to see Chailie 01 his lather." "it is a full hour yet before quit tine time at the mill." he returned She had no reply to this, and the man continued with a of malicious satisfaction, "After all, John is human, you know, and old Pete Martin's daughter is a mighty attractive girl." Helen Ward's cheeks were red, but she managed to control her voice, as she said, "Just what do you mean by that, Jim?" "Is it possible that you really do not know?" he countered. "1 know that my brother, foolish as he may be about some things, would never think of paying serious attention to the daughter of one of his employes," she retorted, warmly. "That is exactly the situation," returned. "No one believes for a moment that the affair is serious on John's part." The color was gone from Helen's face "I think you have said too much not to go on now, Jim. Do you mean that people are saying that John is amusing himself with Mary Martin?" "Well," he returned, coolly, "what else can the people think when they see him going there so often; when they see the two together, wandering about the flats; when they hear his car tearing down the street late in the eve- ,1 I I- COOLEST SPOT IN TOWN A Story of Thrills, Romance, Drama and behind the hchfdtbon "Secret Stidio" Sensational Revelations with OLIVE BORDEN ON THE STAGE JUVENILE FOLLIES A Terpslchorean Novelty BEAVER AND ORCHESTRA SHOWS 7:00, 9:00 COBIed by Typhoon Breezes COLONIAL Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday You'll Be Thrilled by II GILBERT Also News and Comedy Pictures MATS.

Your brother is not a saint, Helen. He is no different, in some ways, from other men I always did feel that there was something back of all this comrade stuff between Mm and Charlie Martin. As for the girl.

I don't think you need to worry about She probably understands it all right enough." "Jim, you must not say such things to me about Mary! Sne is not at all that kind of girl. The whole thing is impossible." "What do you know about Mary Martin?" he retorted. "I'll bet you have never even spoken to her since you moved from the old house." Helen did not speak after this until they were passing the great stone columns at the entrance to the Ward estate, then she 'said, quietly, "Jim, do you always believe the worst possible things about every one?" "That's an odd thing for you to ask," he returned, doubtfully, as they drove slowly up the long curv ing driveway. "Why?" "Because," she answered, "it seems to me as if no one believed the best things about people these days. I know there is a world of wickedness among us, Jim, but are we all going wholly to the bad together?" Mclver laughed.

"We are all alike In one thr ter what he professes, you will find that at (he last every man holds io the good old law of look out for number one' Business or pleasure it's all the same. A man looks after his own Interests first and takes what he wants, or can get, when and where and how he can." "But, Jim, the war--" He laughed cynically. "The war was pure selfishnes from start to finish. We fed the fool public a lot of patriotic trauk, of course--we had to--we needed them. And the dear people fell for the sentimental hero business as they always do." With the last word he stopped the car in front of the house.

When Helen was on the ground she turned and faced him squarely. "Jim Mclver, your words are an insult to my brother and to ninety-nine out of every hundred men who served under our flag, and you insult my Intelligence if you expect me to accept them in earnest If I thought'for a minute that yon were capable of really believing such abominable stuff I would never speak to you again. Goodby, Jim. Trank you so much for the ride." Before the man could answer, she ran up the steps and disappeared thru the front door. But Mclver's car was no more than past the entrance when Helen appeared again on the porch.

For a moment she stood, as if debating some question in her mind. Then apparently, she reached a decision. Ten minutes later she was walking hurriedly down the hill road--the way Bobby and Maggie had fled that day when Adam Ward drove them from the iron fence that guarded the estate. It war scarcely a mile by this road to" the old house and the Martin cottage. CHAPTER XIV.

The Way Back. That walk from her home to the little white cottage next door to the old house was the most eventful journey that Helen Ward ever made. She felt this in a way at the timjvbut she couldnot know to what her sudden impulse to visit again the place of her girlhood would eventually lead. As she made her way down the hill toward that tree-arched street, she realized a little how far the THE GREATEST THRILLER SINCE THE BIO PARADE.

She had many vivid and delightful memories" of that world of her childhood, it is true, but the world to which her father's material success had removed her in the years of her ripening womanhood had come to claim her so wholly that she had never gone back. She had loked back, at first with troubled longing.

But Adam Ward's determined efforts to make the separation of the two families final and complete, together with the ever-increasing bitterness of his strange hatred for his old workman friend, had effectually prevented her her from any attempt at a continuation of the old relationship. In time, even the thought of taking so much as a single step toward the intimacies trom which she had come so far, bad ceased to occur to her. And now, suddenly, without plan or premeditation, she was on her way actually to touch again, if only for a few moments, the lives that had been so large a part of the simple, joyous life which she had known once, but which was so foreign to her now. Nor was It all all clear to why she was geisg or what she would do.

McIver's words had suddenly forced one fact her with startling clearness: John, thia his work in the mill, his association with Cap- ain Charlie and his visits to the Martin home, was actually living acaln in the atmosphere of that world which she felt they had left so far behind.

It was aa tho her brother had already gone back. And Mclver's challenging question, "What do you know about Mary Martin?" had raised in her mind a doubt, not of her brother and his relationship to these old Mends of their childhood, but of lerself and all the relationships that made her present life such a contrast to her Hffe" in the old house. With her mind and heart so full of doubts and questionings, she turned Into the familiar street and saw her brother's car still before the Martin home. As she went on, a feeling of strange eagerness possessed her. ier 'face glowed with warm color, her eyes shone with glad anticipation, her heart beat more quickly.

As one returning to well loved home scenes after many years in a foreign land, the daughter of Adam Ward went down the street toward the place where she born. In front of the old house she stopped. The color went from her cheeks--the her eyes. brightness from In her swiftly moving automobile, nearly always with gay companions, Helen had sometimes passed the old house and had noticed with momentary concern its neglected appearance. But these fleeting glimpses had been so quickly forgotten that the place was most real to her as she saw It In her memories.

The weed- grown yard, the tumbledown fence, the dilapidated porch, and even the chimneys that were crumbling and ragged against the sky, cried out to her In sorrowful reproach. A rushing flood of home memories filled hre eyes with hot tears. With the empty loneliness the old house in her heart, she went blindly on to the little cottage next how she would explain her unusual presence there. She did not, herself know clearly why she had come.

Timidly she paused at the white gate. There was no one in the yard to bid her welcome. As one in a dream, she passed softly into the yard. She was trembling now as one on the threshhold, of a great adventure. What was it? What did It mean--her coming there? Wonderingly she Jooked" about the little yard with its bit of lawn --at the big shade tree--the flowers--it was all just as she had always known it.

Where were and Mary and Charlie? Why was ther eno sound of their voices? Her cheeks were suddenly hot with color. What if Charlie Martin should suddenly appear! As one awakened from strange dreams to a familiar home scene, Helen Ward was all at once back in those days of her girlhood.

I am a young man 35, thirty-five years old. I came to Lincoln about four months ago and met a girl.

I had gone with all thru high school. I was very much to. love with her then and wanted: her to marry me, but she refused. Now she is married has three of the cutest children i ever saw. I often drive by their house and see her on the porch and really Mary I can't help but love her, sne is so sweet and refined.

She married a man with no money only working on a salary. She told me she loved her husband so much was so crazy about him until last winter and a girl where he was working almost ruined their home. The boss let her off for the summer so I sap- pose when fall comes again they will have more trouble. you think tt is alright if they can't agree for me to go to her. I nave plenty of money can give them a good home and could promise her there would be no one else in the world to share my love but, she and babies.

--JACK. A. It may sound cruel to say so, Jack, but if she didn't love you in days gone by, she probably doesn't now. Maybe sne is just playing you up against her husband. Better let her work out her own problems.

Those three cute babies will do more to bring husband and wife together than all your misplaced affection and money. Dear Mary think it is foolish the way some of the readers of this column nag about the office girls falling in love with their bosses. The idea. I am a girl, an office girl. If anybody needs to be nagged at, it is the boys and young men.

The girls have a hand enough time to keep a good reputation. Without anyone scolding them ail the time. It doesn't seem right that the girls who pet should be cast aside when the boys want to marry. The boys go with the "petting" girls until they want to get married, then they cast them to one side. I very seldom, pet, and It I meet a boy that I think I really love, I mm very stingy with my kisses.

It makes him want them all the more and I like to tease him. Another thing I hate is a girl who tags after a boy ttat she does not know very welL Recently a boy'that my friend-was so crazy over and showed it too much called me up and asked me to go to dance with him. And I happen to know that -he don't dance (and neither do I). I cant explain this. --Mary Jane.

Dear Mary Gordon--I believe that is the way most people address yon. I have read of a great many subjects in your helpful column, but none as interesting to me as the one I am asking to have discussed in your column. I should like your ideas on this subject Also the opinions of Christian people and non Christian's as well. In fact this is a vital subject to the community and the world over. Is it right for to close their church doors against other denominations, not allowing others besides their own particular circle the use of their church building? -This doesn't seem to me to be Doing auto others as ye would that they should do unto you.

NEW YORK, July people in America are eating less and working less than ever before according to conclusion reached by the editor of Farm and Fireside after summing up detailed which show an alarming decreased the national consumption of farm products. Americans 1907 it is shown, ate an average of 159 pounds of meat a in 1926 the average was sixteen pounds less.

Wheat consumption per capita in 1925 was forty-seven pounds less than in 1910, falling from 302 to 255 pounds. Fart of the decrease in wheat is made up by the larger use of vegetables and other products. Bnt what with dieting, lighter eating, dne to tre increase in the number of sedentary workers, the total food eaten per individual averages less.

Great Britain's break with the soviet and the many diplomatic complications which followed closely on the heels of this break, have caused 'many to turn back the pages of history to a chapter which appeared insignificant when written.
