She Had a Heart Br R RAY BAKER it). br McClure Newepaper 8yndlcat«.) ;■ Through the cloud* of Frank Morri son's d<‘*i>air broke a shaft of Hiiullght lu the form of an Idea. Frank ua^ not the first person to have the fcatoe idea. He knew It was not original He luid heard of Its hoing worked out aiiccessfully many times, but until now not once had he thought of applying It in his own behalf. •Jane Ellison had turned him down. After three years of pursuing her heart, with tacit consent luring him on, he was wrecked on the rocky shores of the sea of unrequited love. But Frank could not give her up. Tliere was no other girl in the world like her. Black hair and deep brown eyes, perfect complexion of white, Jane was more like a picture than a mere woman. Frank «ould never care for anybody but a brunette, be knew, or for any brpneiU* hut .lane. He was «»ne himself, klthongh there was color In his cheeks, while It was absent In June's. Yes, he must marry Jane or life would not he worth living. The blf Idea »n» this: He w^mld rail on Jane'ii *Uier.

Frank took Irene to dsnees. and lie- fore long he could see that Jaoe was becoming Interesteil. She never spoke about It, but on one occasion she flounced out of the room with a dark scowl on her counfemmee when he called to take her sister for a motor ride, “She's displaying anger/’ he told Irene when they were skimming over a country road. “That gives me some hope/’ “Don’t be too hopeful, she -hasn’t a heart.” The warning was well founded, for, allhough Jane assumed, a haughty'at titude that showed she was displeased by Frank’s attentions to her sister, she never made any advances. Cnder 1 the circumstances, If Jane still cared for Frank, It seemed that some hint that he was welcome once more as a | suitor would not have been out of place. Jane was now seen frequently with a man considerably older than herself j and ttie possessor of a comfortable amount of worldly wealth. Frank was ( doing well himself ns head of a hard-1 ware tirm; hut he could not consider himself pnf the highway to rlctfrs. For two months the plotters kept up their pretense, and there were no signs of miceess In sight. Jane, In fact, seemed Infatuated with her new knight. “Better give It up.” Irene told i Frank one night a* they sat on the ' rustic seat beside the river. “You’re j wasting your time.” “And yours.” said Frank. “It’s a shame the way I’ve been taking all: jotir time No other fellow has a look In.” • ** “That** all right/’ she protested. “I don’t care atxrtif that.” ■|.«i's try It a -little longer, then.” fAGUE ABOUT “REO- LEADERS but Yawng ■•Ishsvtat ftoidiar Had Hsard of Tratikjr. and Inci dentally of Lonlno. I have Just had a talk with a Bol shevlat soldier, captured by the Poles when lie was participating In a bold scouting enterprise. He Is a young man twenty-one years old, coming from one;of the Interior departments of Russia. He Is Illiterate aud a con- tinned Bolshevik. Discipline, he said, was very good In the Bolshevist army; still they did not obey orders because they were or. ders, but “as a matter of conscience/' The military forms of address had been abollsned and even the officers were spoken to as comrades. Natural ly the soldiers stand at attention be fore their officers; but that was be cause every soldier In the army fol lows the bidding of bis conscience and “it would be foolish” not to stand at attention before one’s commander. He had never seen a general or any of the higher officers, but he knew the commander In chief was called Trots ky, and that there was another head man. He pondered a moment trying to recall who the second one was, aud then suddenly remembered, “Lenfcie.’’ He knew- nothing more about him. and did not know the names of any other T ^ commander.- He kept saying “Everyone on our side Is a Bolshevik,” ami seemed to be Impressed with the great power and authority of. the Bolshevlkl. When ask<Ml who Troir.ky was he replied. “A very popular Jew.” “The Jewa are much llted In the army. They never allow themselves to t-e captured.

If the people of South Carolina will not supply the money needed to serve them- i*elveB they must induce strangers to furnish It. This can be done bj^Upwing the stranger to earn a fair and Just profit upon his money now invested in Sou’h Carolina, serving you, and upon all additional money required to furnish you service. This can be done in but one way; by pay ing fair and Just rates. When the Company Is legally authorized to charge a rate which will yield a fair and Just profit, over and above the cost of fur niahing you service in the state of South Carolina, it can secure from strangers liv ing in other states the money needed to fur nish service to the state of South Carolina. The ^Company must have this right before It can get the money. The people of South Carolina must act first.
