Mark Burton returns from abroad decause of a itter received from Maude Maynard, the aunt of his ward, Jessica Bartlett. Jessica is about to inhert the principal of her father's estate, and Maude is afraid that a fortune-hunter named Ray- mond Townley is preying on her af- fections. Although he is interested in another woman, Mark drops his affairs to attend to Jess He d covers that Ray Townley is a thorough rotter, and after Jessica an- nounces her engagement tries to rea- son with her. They quarrel. Then Aunt Maude comes to the fore and suggests that he carry Jessica off. At first Mark ridicules the fidea, but finally accepts it. He makes plans to take her to his hunting shack in the shawangunk Mountains. An older woman, Mrs. Morse, is to act as chaperon and housekeeper. Jegsica walks into the trap by suggesting * that Mark show her his place. He drives her up there, and the truth comes out. She is furious, and that night refuses to eat. Later, however, she climbs out of the window and goes out to the car for the remainder of the picnic lunch. Mark discovers her there. CHAPTER XXXI. The Next Morning. Jessica must have had the thing on her mind subconsciously, for she awoke the next morning quite early and with the knowledge that if she wanted her daily bath she would have to go to the stream for it. She didn’t relish the idea particularly, and yet it wasn't exactly obnoxious to her either. Rather thrilling to think of bathing in a cold mountain stream early in the morning. She wondered how it ‘would feel. Cautiously she opened her bedroom door and stole across the living room. She did not put on her shoes until she had reached the porch, and then she sat there on the steps for a moment or two enraptured with the beauty of the morning. It was lovely! The sky was all streaked with pink and saffron, birds were chirruping in the trees. It was cool and yet not too cool. Of course, the steram would probably be freez- ing, but then she would have to brave it. She carried a towel and a cake of soap. Terrible to have to pollute that lovely stream with soap, but she couldn’t think of taking a bath with- out ft. At the edge of the stream she dropped her cape and with an experi- mental foot tried the water. It wi ic; Never in her life had she expe: enced anything so cold. But she was game. The next moment she had dashed some of the water over her, and after that it wasn't so hard. When she emerged her skin was tingling all over, and once more she was starv- ingly hungry. Wrapped in her cape she returned 1o the house and encountered Mrs. Morse setting the table for breakfast. Mrs, Morse smiled disarmingly, and after a second or two Jessica smiled back. After all it wasn't her fault. a pawn in Mark’s little o why blame her? ou've been out to the stream, haven’t you?” Jessica nodded, and Mrs. k her head.

And, after all, why should she starve herself? The MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Morse returned But I An Interesting Game.

(Covyright. 19274 1 usu- | | thought of bacon and_eggs was too ravishing for words. While she was dressing her mouth faily watered at the prospect. It was amusing to dress herself in the khaki trousers and one of the white shirts. She belted in her slim waist and stood regarding herself in the mirror. Then, incongruously, she went for her handbag and drew out her supply of makeup. One powder compact and the same of rouge. One lipstick and a tiny atomizer filled with French perfume. An onyx and gold cigarette case, minus 'clgarettes; & small box of wax matches, and a cdumpled handkerchief. With great Industriousness, she powdered her face, She used her compact only when she was out some- where. At home she first applied cold cream and after that loose powder. Then she applied rouge and lipstick, and, dearest of all, mascara. She had often said that she would rather go out into the world minus anything but her mascara. But she was forced to face the day without it. At last she was ready, and the smell of sizzling bacon drew her out to the living room. Mark was standing by the window. He wheeled around as she entered and smiled. ““Hello!” “Hello!” she returned laconically. After all, it was silly to treat him like an enemy. He thought he had a chance to put this thing over and she might as well lét him believe it. In the meantime, she could be thinking of a plan of gscape. Besides, by treating him ecivilly she had a good chance to get even with him. He would expect her to bear & grudge against him, and instead she would behave as though she had accepted the situation. She rather liked the idea. of disarming him. (Copyright. 1927.) (Continued in tomorrow’s Star.) Everyday Law Cases Bride Leaves Because of Domi-| neering Mother-in-Law ; Is This Desertion? BY THE COUNSELOR. Two weeks after her marriage, Mrs, Elizabeth Smith awoke to the realiza- tion that her mother-in-law was the dominant factor in the household. The bride had no voice in the management of the affalrs of the house; ai the bills were paid by the mother-inlaw, who repeatedly told her that she was “no housekeeper and not a fit wife for my son.” The unhappy wife complained to the husband, who turned a deaf ear. ‘When she could no longer endure her domineeri: mother-in-law, Mrs. Smith left her home and declared her intention of not returning until she was mistress of her own household. Reconciliation between husband and wife appearing to be hopeless, Mrs. Smith instituted suit for a partial di- vorce and requested alimony. The husband contested her suit on the ground that his wife had voluntarily left, and was, therefore, not entitled to either a divorce or alimony. Mrs. Smith won her case, the court declaring: ““The husband has the right to direct the affairs of his own house, and to | determine the place and abode of the family; and it is in general the duty |of the wife to submit to such deter- | mination. The right, however, is not an arbitrary one. He must have due regard for the welfare, comfort and peace of his wife. The wife is en- titled to a home over which she shall be permitted to preside as mistress.” Women’s Oldest hygienic problem now solved a new and different way—true protection.

THE DAILY HOROSCOPE [ Astrologers read tomorrow as an un- certain day, although beneflc aspects dominate. It is a time to exercise cau- tlon and good judgment. Women are well directed under this sway, which makes for success in clubs and public affairs, as well as in domestic Interests. It should be a fairly happy wedding day. There s a sign that sentiment will be easily awakened while this sway prevails, and it is favorable for first | meetings’ between persons of opposite sex. It is not wise to trust one's judg- ment under this day’s planetary influ- ence, when there will be a trend to- ward discouragement and disappoint- | ment. Writers and editors should benefit in the evening of this day, when it is | likely they will receive praise and rec- ognition. It is not wise to seek promotion or to change employment while this rule prevails, for it is easy to make blun- ders, Arrogance and even unreasonable- ness are likely to affect persons in au- thority under this aspect and for this cause it is wise to defer asking any favors. Politicians are subject to planetary influences encouraging corruption in municipal affairs, and in_more than one American city there will be reform | movements, if the stars are read | aright. | In the Spring large contracts from | foreign countries are to come to Amer- | fean manufacturers, it is foretold. All the seers forecast seismic shock: for many places not hitherto affected | in the United States. | Persons whose birth date it Is will | enjoy many friendships in the coming | year, it is foretold, but they must not neglect practical affairs for pleasure. Children born on this day probabl will be exceedingly bright and attract- ive, popular in society and successful through life. They should be taught the meaning of gratitude.

Signs and omens mean but little Of truth you'll scarcely find a tittle. —Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit is not a weather prophet. He dnesn’t pretend to be. Still, there have been times when Pe- ter has thought from certain signs that he could tell what the weather was going to be. Most people are just like Peter. Whenever they see some- thing unusual, they immediately think it js a sign of something. More times than not things turn out just the re- verse of what the sign is supposéd to indicate. “I am beginning to get tired of . Heany 'S MOURNING CLOAK,” HE MUTTERED. Winter,” said Peter one day. “I am so. Winter ie all right for a while, 1 like it. It makes a fellow feel fine The snow makes the world all white and clean. But there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. I've had Winter long enough now. 1 want to see some sign of Spring. If 1 could just see some sign to show that Spring really is coming after a while, I think I could get along very nicely for the rest of the Winter. But, oh, dear, there isn't any sign. At least, I haven't seen it. Now, what was that?” Peter sat up very straight and very hard. He had seen something moving on the end of an old log. At the moment there wasn't a breath of air. If there had been, Peter would have thought that what he had seen was the fluttering of an old, dead leaf. But a leaf couldn’t move without a Merry Little Breeze to move it. So Peter stared his eyes grew big; “It's a butterfly, | that. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS his breath. “It can't be, but it is, The idea of a butterfly in the widdle of Winter! Still, I do remember hav- ing seen a butterfly when there was snow on the ground. I wonder if this is a sign that Winter is almost over. It must be. I'm sure it must be.” Peter very carefully moved over where he could see better. It was a sure enough butterfly and no mistake! It was opening and closing its wings. Right where it sat the Jolly Little Sunbeams were warmest and bright- est. You see, it was a fairly warm day. Perhaps I should say it was an unusually warm day for the middle of Winter. " Peter stole a few steps nearer “It's Mourning Cloak,” he muttered. “Of course I'm Mourning Cloak,” said the butterfly. “Who else would I be? Did you ever see any other but- terfly so nearly all black?" Peter shook his head. He confessed that he never had “But,” sid Peter, “what are you doing now? 1s Spring almost here?"” “What_am I doing? What am I doing? I am taking a sunbath, of course. What else should I be do- ing?" retorted Mourning Cloak. “I don’t know whether Spring is nearly here or not. I don't care, as long as we ha arm days like th “But,” cried Peter, “aren’t you a sign? “No,” retorted Mourning Clak. “I'm a butterfly.” “Of cours said Peter. “T know 3ut when you come out isn't it a sign that warm weather will soon be here?" “It may be,” said Mourning Cloak. “But if it is, T don’t know it: If it is a sign at dll, it is a sign that it is a perfectly good day to stretch one's wings. They get stiff if I cannot get out and stretch them once in a while.” “But you haven't been out before this Winter, have you?" asked Peter. “Certainly I have,” retorted Mourn- ing Cloak. “I've been out several times. But I'm getting a little chilly now, £o I think I'll retire once more.” As a matter of fact, the sun had gone behind a cloud and this is what made Mourning Cloak feel chilly. Mourning Cloak flew over to an old stump and crowled under a piece of loose bark on it. Just before he dis- appeared he said: “If you're looking for signs, Peter, this a sign that I'm going to sleep again.” “Huh in signs.” said Peter, “I don't believe (Copyright, 1927.)

It is only upon terms of tolerance that-we van possess liberty, and liberty is the most desired thing upon earth. We live with persons who have rights equal to our own. To secure our own rights, we must submit to a reasonable regulation of our actions. This 1« necessary in society. But while we recognize that certain regu- lation of our actions Is necessary, we must preserve to ourselves and to others a_complete liberty of thought. To the old phrase “Live and let live™ we should add in italics, “Think and let think.” It i1s natural for the young to be |arrogant, to be sure of themselves, sure they are right, not so sure the other fellow is right, and not too will- ing to see his point of view. It is only after life and experience have got in thelr work that a man really acquires the live-and-let-live, think-and-iet-think philosophy, and comes to know that only through liberty success and happiness can Vhatt is liberty? Recently it was defined by the United States Supreme Court as fol- low: Liberty denotes not merely free- dom from bodily restraints, but also ht of the individual to contract, age in any of the common occu- pations of life, to acquire useful knowledge, to marry, to establish a | home and 'bring up children, to wor- ship God according to the dictates of his own consclence, and generally to enjoy those privileges long recog- nized at common law as essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men." the young man's hat for guidance through life? There i& no business or profession in which a young man chooses to embark where he will not get ahead faster by giving and demanding 1ib- erty. He will be a better theologian if he respects the agnostic’s liberty to question his faith. He will be a better lawyer if, while preserving a meas- ure of conservatism, he also recognizes that progress necessitates change. He will be a better executive if he coun- sels with others, gives the conscience and contracts of others fair play. He will be a better writer, merchant, soldier, farmer or statesman if he is openminded and tolerant of new ways, new ideas and ideals, and giv his fellow man the same chance to think. do and say as he wants for himself. Liberty with government! That Could anything better be pasted into | BY CHESTER D. LONG, President American Bar Association. what we need, individually and as a nation. Through the ages there has been liberty without government There has aiso been government with out liberty. But there has always been the hope for liberty with govern ment. . Man may live alone with liberty but he cannot live in soclety withou! government. He must give up some of his liberty in order to preserve the rest. That is a lesson for youth. And the sooner youth knows that toleranc is the basis of liberty and that libert i the basis of success and happines. the more surely will the forces gathe all over the land to preserve libert opinion, liberty of the teacher to teact liberty of the child to learn and libert of the States to have local self-gover ment, that more blessings shall acrt to ourselves and our your chance See this wash-day miracle ht in your own home 77 We are going to lend you a New Easy and let you see for yourself the amazing way it washes, dries and handles the water—all at the same time.
