A TOURING EPISODE liy I'AULINE l>. EDWARDS My dear liolle, I have hud un adven ture. uiid l uiuyt tell you ?tII ubout it Ah h< < u us the spring opened 1 became wilil to go on tin unto tour with our now machine, tlial is admirably tit tod tor I.?ng trips, liit vlng u ruck in the roui lar?o cnough^U) curry u Saratoga trunk Of course 1 couldn't tour alone 6r it li u Kirl friend. Muniuia would not hoar of tlmt, and tl?cre >v?\s noth ing lot it but slio must go with me her self. We started when tlie leaves on the trees were well grown, with excellent road maps, and by supplementing the information they gave us ut every fork iu the road we got on very well. Oue evening we wore ueaiing a plueo called Huntiugdule, which seetued to l?e rath er a collection of summer cottages tliun any thing else, and we did not have the name of any hotel at which to stftp. Passing un autolst who had alighted to examine his engine, 1 asked him if he could direct ua to a public houyu where we could spend the night. He looked up at mo, and our eyes met. Dhl you ever look into the eyes of a man for the (list time and recognize through them a soul that was in liar mony with yours? This 1 did when 1 met I ho gaze or this man. ISot only that; l knew he saw In me what 1 had found In him. "I urn sorry to say," lie replied to my question, "that there is no hotel in Ifumlngdale. You'll not tlnd one that you would care to stop at till you reach ArborvHle. twelve tulles beyond." i'looked disappointed. Mamma was getting tired.' and before we could luuke the twelve miles It would be dark, and we made it a rule to travel only by duyllght. "1 can direct you," continued the young man, "to a private family hotel, but they are not taking boarders there this year except myself. However, if you care to try 1 think you can get iu for one night." We said we would certainly care to try, and the young man, pulling down the hood of his uuto and cranking It, got into his machine and led tho way to an attractive looking house on an eminence. When wo reached it ho asked us to remain in our cur till he stated our case for us. Wo thanked him, and lie went Inside. In a few minutes he returned and said that he had Uxed the matter for us satisfac torily. The landlady was eon lined to her room, but he was very much at home there himself and would see that we were made comfortable. lie hand ed us out of our car, and after our trunk had been removed and our ma chine started for the garage we went up thTo the house. 1 wondered that so luxurious au: abode should be used for boarders. Ho tels and boarding houses be they ever so well furnished are bound to show some wearr v. Mamma thought she was too tired to dress for dinner, but 1 told her in such a place it would not be safe to dine In traveling costume, so we both put og evening dress. On entering the dining room we saw that, places had been set for three, and the only person iu the room besides ourselves was the yotmg mun who had been our con ductor. Seeing that he was in evening dress I was very thankful that mam ma and 1 had decided to change our costumes. "Our landlady," he snld, "has com\ missioned me to take her place at ta ble and do the honors in her. stead. I presume I shall have to Introduce my self, having no one to Introduce me. 1 am Edgar Sterling, ut your service." Mamma Introduced herself and then introduced me, after which a waiter who seemed rather a butler than a waiter served us, and we had a deli cious dinner. Wine whs opened with out our |iaviug ordered it. Both maui ma and I declined it when the waiter was about to pour it into our glasses, whereupon Mr. Sterling said: "The terms in this house .include wine, so you are not under any obliga tion to me." We permitted the waiter to fill our glasses, but since the wine served was champagne we concluded that the bill for our one night's stay would be some thing frightful. But I had lallen un der a spell Induced by the devotion of Mr. Sterling, expressed in his eyes, a pleasing smile he had and his coustant attention to my every wish. After dinner mamma remained be low but half an hour, when she went upstairs to bed. I passed the most delightful evening of my life, and mamma was obliged to call me several times before I could tear myself away from my entertainer. The next morning wo breakfasted alone, the waiter having Informed us that Mr. Sterling had gone out early In his car. We asked for our bill, but were told that the landlady was not in a condition to make it uif and we would leave our address a statement would be sent us when she recovered. Upon our return home we expected to And our hotel bill. We were stlM expecting to find it whetf one evening Mr. Sterling called and put a new face on the matter. lie confessed that he had taken us to his own resi dence, that the landlady was a myth and that tho waiter was his butler. I He apologized- for his deception by, saying that it had occurred to him to take this course rather than attempt to force before us the hospitality of a sfnnger. Now, wasn't that Just too delightful an episode to keep? From Mr. Sterling's attention to me 1 expect soon to tell jov of another episode. 1 A LIFE PRESERVER ?? . ?, -? ?

SOUTH CAROLINA IS ALLOTTED {8,900,000 OF LIBERTY BONDS EVERY FARMER, MERCHANT, CLERK, BUSINESS MAN, APPEALED TO BY STATE COMMITTEE TO BUY A BOND ON JUNE 5. Columbia, S. C., (Special.)?"Do your bit. Buy a bond for liberty and the ultimate peace of the world!" Is tho mossage which 1b being Bent broad cast over the stato by the Liberty Loan Committee for Houth Carolina, of which Edwin W. Robertson, is chair man. Already there has been a wide re sponse from many directions. Thou sands of people have mado applica tion through state ana national banks for bonds In denominations ranging from $60 to $1,000. But since tbe al lotment for South Carolina is $8,500, 000, there are a great many more to be disposed of before the state will have done Its duty. Central committees to promote the sale of the bonds have been appoint ed in each county of the state. Men everywhere are giving their time and efforts toward helping the govern ment float this loan; knowing well that the fate ^f the country, and per haps of the war, Is resting upon this bond issue. The banks have also put their shoulders to the wheel. Practi cally every bank is in a position to accept applications for bonds, and every man who wishes to, subscribe has only to apply to his banker. The appeal which the Liberty Loan Is making to the farmers, merchants and business men Ih not only patri otic; though the committee feels that every man should want to support-his government to the extent of buying V bond. It is also a business proposll tion; and a Liberty bond is right nov? ono of the best and surest Investments that a man can make. The government has got to buy corn and cotton in quArttities never before heard of. These supplies have got to come from the Holds and farms of South Carolina along with the rest of the country. Therefore, the money that a farmer puts in the loan, comes back to him as actual cash in immense purchases of the things which ho raises. In this way he not only gets a 3 1-2 per cent return on his bonds, but he also gets the actual money back for the products of his farm. Just as the banks make their money by financing the farmer, just so tho farmer is now in a position to make money by financing the government. No matter how this situation Is faced, whether from sentiment or from bard common sense, the move is a good OS<J. One of the most prominent financial men In South Carolina when asked as to IiIh opinion of the bonds as a business proportion refused to dis cuss it from that tnui^KAt all. "What does It matter whet.hel* thla is a money making proposition or not. Of course it is; but the thlug that any map or woman wants to think about in connection with the loan is: For what use is the money to be ap plied. If a man Is Ailed with a real EJatlop of what the war means, it will not take him long to decide. "Just one little glimpse of the last three years Is sufficient. The viola tion of Belgium, the sinking of the Lusltania, the abUBei and slaughter of millions of women and children la Belgium, France and Poland, and the other savageries of the Oermans should make a man go out of his way to subscribe for as many bonds as he could possibly stand. "If It were a matter of war on our own soil, with our own women and children the subject of these cruelties,. we would not hesitate a moment. And from all I hear from Washington, it will very probably be our women and children unless the people of America rally to this loan with every available dollar." The 5th day of June has been set apart by the Liberty Loan Committee for South Carolina on which to re ceive subscriptions all over the state. On kthat day, it has been decreed by tft* $6V4hnment that alt men between the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, shall register; and It Is desired that on the Hame day, all other people, and all of those that register as well, shall as faithfully go to the banks and All out an application blank for every cent of bondH that they can possibly stand. "South Carolina has never been backward in the cause of Liberty ar, far back as my history goes." said J.- Pope Matthews, of the state com mittee yesterday; "and I don't be lieve for a moment that the people of the commonwealth will allow her to take a back seat now. We have been told by the Federal Reserve officials that we are expected to subscribe to qight and a half millions of the bonds. This is certainly no impossible task: or at least will not be if the small farmers of the country districts will Join with the clerks, stenographers, and every class of wage earners in the towns In taking fifty or a hundred dol lar h en 'fif fifth. But It has got to be with the assistance of every Everybody must help " ' TUB DRESSES decidedly the vogue for Summer, have a prominent place in McCALL DESIGNS FOR JUNE 1 The simplicity of McCall Patterns for these smart little summer i frocks appeals to The Home Dressmaker The McCall Cut ting and Construct tion Guide furnish-, ed free with each pattern, insures a perfect-fitting gar ment. c I McCall Patterns For June Now on Sale. \ J . i w ' MeCall Patterns Wftiat Ko. 77<5rtt Skirt No. 7767.
