10 SATURDAY EVENING, IIAIIRISDUIIO CUJ TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY; 7, 1914. irSAAArt ADD Mothers! Warn Your Girls of Life's Lures By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX It la more than Sprobable that many I'naMnti VAIIFI0 Vtrla will read this rtlcle and consider an "improper" ubject for discus Ion. And it Is more hart probable that several of these aughters will read and regard it as their own experience, 'and wonder how tthelr secret became jknown. II This one young woman whose story Is Riven here has arrived at a marriageable age and Is betrothed to the man of her choice. He Is several years her senior, but says he will not be In a position to marry and establish a home for two years.

He has given the girl a ring, and declares he Is most anxious to make her his wife. Meantime, ho asks her to consider herself his wife in reality now, and to show her confidence In him by giving him all the privileges of that holy state. He assures her that her refusal Is a proof that she does not really love and trust him; that she doubts his honor and his word. He also assures her that all engaged Broadway From the Play of George M. Cohan EDWARD MARSHALL best itmm Is the ft 00 Copyright, HU, by O.

W. PlUtaghasa Onamass He hung up the xecelver and turned back to Jackson. That youth looked at him in somewhat helpless curiosity. "What are you going to do?" "Tin going to show Pembroke we're) not bluffing. I'm going back tomor row, and, as a starter, I'm going to bill New York till you cant see the city through the advertisements of Jones' Gum." "Where's, all the money coming from?" said Jackson dubiously.

"What are you going to do? Ruin me?" 'Til draw the contract," Wallace an swered. 111 give you a year to pay for it You'll be the best advertised article in America a month from now." "But, great Scott! I can't afford to take a chance like that! 1 don't know anything about this chewing gum business." "Say." said Wallace in derision, "will you give me all you make over a mil lion in the next two years if I give you the advertising free?" "Over a million? I should say I will!" Wallace became serious and then broke into smiles. "Shake hands with your partner then. This will be the quickest, softest and first important money I ever made." "Do you mean it?" "You bet I mean it." "Are you sure you mean it?" "You bet I'm sure." "Bob," said Broadway with real feeling, 'this is the happiest moment of my At that instant Sam came in. "Missis Ger rard to see Mis ter Jones!" he cried.

Thus Broadway's happiest moment came to a sudden, tragic end. In the mad whirl of recent hours he had for gotten Mrs. Gerard his little ray of sunshine, swtetheart, dearie! With a quick glance at Josle he al most collapsed. "Tell her to wait," said Wallace, the quick witted "The gentleman wants to see you first," said Sam. "Gentleman? What gentleman?" "Mis ter Ran kin." "Rankin!" cried Broadway with a ray of hope.

"Send the gentleman right in, and tell the lady to wait" Sam went away with these instructions. "Mrs. Gerard! Where did she come from! How did she know I was here?" said the unhappy youth. Rankin came in respectfully, cat footed, gravely beaming, the ideal butler. "Mrs.

Gerard's here, sir." Jones Know," fcu. hopelessly. 'Where did she come from?" "She didn't say. Got to the hotel about fire minutes ago, and demanded to be shown to you. I couldn't help it, sir." "What am I going to do? We've got to get her away from here! We've got to get her out of town!" "I'll get rid of her some way," Wallace offered comfortingly.

"Go on; take it on the run." 'Ton bet I will!" said 'Jackson, and, without more ado, grasped his cane and hat and sprinted for the factory exit He almost collided at the door with Josie, who was entering Just then with papers from an outer file. "Why, where are you going, Mr. Jones?" "Any place. Where are you going?" "I'm going to dinner." He grabbed her arm, to her amazement "Come on: I'll go with Let's go out this way. I love to walk er through the works." "All right," said Wallace tothe fat boy as soon as they were out of sight, "show the lady in." "Shall I go, sir?" inquired Rankin, "Stay where you are." Mrs.

Gerard came In most hurriedly. Indeed, her gait was almost that of an elderly lady wonderfully well preserved, who was very, very anxious about something which she valued highly and was willing to run hard to catch. "Why, Mrs. said Wallace heartily. "What are you doing here? Ah, I know! You're looking for Jackson.

Too' bad! He's started for the station. Hea going to make that eleven forty for New York. I think you can catch him if you hurry." She had scarcely straightened from the stoop which had been imparted by her hurry as she entered. Now ahe much intensified it. and without a word dashed out.

"But you'll have to run all the way," cried Wallace after her. Then he turned hurriedly to Rankin. "Listen! You follow her to the depot and get her on that train if you have to bind and gag her! Don't leave her until you see her safely landed la New York. You understand?" "Yes, sir." "Well, go on." As he turned back from intent observation of the man servant's depar the noise of a new outburst of cheering reached him from the works. Coming through the door the ddge had opened as he entered, again? What are they cheer ing about "Broadway," said the judge, "is making another speech.

He stopped In the works instead of going through." "Maklnr another speech!" They opened the door wide and, wafted on the gentle breese, there came to them In Broadway's best and, most effective tones: "Why, think of what I'd be selling! The thing my grandfather worked; for and handed down to my father; the thing my father worked for and handed down to me; the thing that I should work for and hand down to my children, and go on, and so on, and so on." CHAPTER XIII. It was not until the excitement waa all over at the factory, until the cheering had died down arid the whole place he made such proposal to her that he was unworthy of her confidence, and that he would in all probability desert per as soon as he had gained the favors he sought. The sexual fascination is a powerful one, but that alone never kept a man and a woman happy comrades and constant lovers for life. There must be other attractions; other Interests; other ties. Most Important of all, there must be mutual respect and absolute confidence.

There must be a strong and beautiful foundation of friendship in every marriage which proves happy and lastingly sympathetic. About this foundation passion flowers will grow and twine; but when Autumn winds blow, and frosts come, and the vines perish, the strong, beautiful foundation remains. This man Is seeking to twine vines and flowers about the fragile trellis of youth, and the first wind will east It all to earth and there will' be nothing left And the vines he seeks to train about this trellis are poison ivy. Let the girl beware of such a lover. He is not her friend.

He is her worst enemy. He does not love her. He loves only his own appetites and passions. The man who really loves a girl guards her, not only from all men, but from himself. He does not despoil what is his own.

He does not strip the flowers from his own beautiful plants. Better die of and sorrow than to yield to such a selfish and unworthy lover. had begun to buzz with industry for the long afternoon of bappler labor than it had known of late years, that Wallace thought of lunch. He was not usually one to forget eating. It rather startled him.

"Broadway," he remarked, astonished, "do you know we haven't fed?" "Do business men?" "That doesn't make good sense. 'Do business We've Just done one business man. Pembroke has gone back to New York with his disposition in a But what did you think you were expressing when you said: Do business "I thought I was inquiring If business men took lunch. If they don't, I'll not I am a business man." "You bet they do." "If It's a commercial practice I'll join you. I'm hungry enough to eat on Sixth avenue." "No such luck," said Wallace.

"We've got to eat down at the Grand." Broadway almost paled. "Excuse me, but I've lost my appetite, come to think about it." "I know; but we've simply got to eat" They tried the first part of the luncheon, and it was just after they had tried it that Broadway, desperately worrying about the future, was by a happy thought. "Why live at the Grand?" he asked. "You can't," said Wallace. "It's not "Why anything at the Grand when I'm the owner of a house with 14 rooms, three baths, a root cellar and a phonograph?" Wallace looked at him with an enthusiastic light enkindling In his eyes.

"Shall you take boarders?" "I shall take a boarder." "Me?" "You." "When?" I "This afternoon." "Would you be angry if I threw my arms around your neck and told you how extremely fond I am of you?" "You may throw your arms around the room, for all I care, if you'll keep quiet while I telephone." It was Mrs. Spotswood whom he called upon the wire, and gladly, nay, delightedly, she promised to take charge of the engrossing task of getting the Jones homestead ready for its future master. "When shall I be able to move In?" he asked. "If Mrs. Robinson's as good a housekeeper as she has always been, you could move in today." Within an hour she called him up and told him that Mrs.

Robinson was Just as good a housekeeper as that the rooms had all been aired, that he had been expected hourly. "Can we have dinner there tonight?" "Why not?" "You mean It?" "Of course." "Will you, the Judge and Clara dine with me?" "Well, I Bhould say so." "Tell Mrs. Robinson that I'll be early enough to tell her how extremely fond I am of her before we start' to eat And I'll bring Bob and er Miss Richards." Mrs. Spotswood laughed. "And who?" "Miss er Miss Richards." "You mean Josle?"

All over the world such men. are to be found. It Is their method of testing the weaker sex. In many amall country towns, where American girls are unchaperoned and unprotected by foolish parents, and allowed to go about freely with their admirers, a Lothario of this order is not infrequently able to engage several trusting glrla at one time, under strict vows of secrecy and on the plea that financial or family circumstances are such that marriage Is out of the question for years to come. This type of man almost Invariably demands the full confidence and proof of "love and trust," as he terms It, of each of his secret fiancees.

And, as a rule, he never marries one of them. He disappears from the town after a time and establishes himself In pastures new. The Rev. Richeson was a man of this type, but he paid for his amusement In the electric chair. It seems a sad commentary on the mothers of the land that any girl could grow to a marriageable age and not know the truths of life and the faots of the relations of the sexes sufficiently to warn her from listening to men of this type.

No girl whose mother talks to her familiarly, sweetly, tenderly and purely on these themes could believe such a man was honest or to be trusted. She would know from the moment genuine; Bakerfc Cocoa and Baker's Chocolate have this trcdsiaarkoncwajy WALTER BAKER CO.
