A Big “ f”- Is In Her Life
Anne Austin, who wrote this
study of Charlotte Mills. princi-
pal living victim of the Ball-
Mills tragedy, is particularly
fitted for the uni. Not only has
she the technical qualification
of a fiction writer. being the
author of the current “Saint and

SOHEBVILLE. N. .l.. Dec. 1.—
Six or seven years ago a-shy. thin

ed upon a great secret. As she walk-
ed to school along New Brunswick's
pronio streets. she hugged the un-
believable secret to her foolish
breast. cheating in a low voice that
tsutsilsed the other girls. who hadn’t
been paying much attention to Char-
lotte Mills: "I know something I'm
not. gonna tell! I know something
l'm not gonna telli".
Maybe she did tell. for tip secret
was too romantic and thrilling. to
keep all to horsslf. And if the other
girls know. they'd think she was
“somebody” not Just "that little Hills
girl whose papa is s janitor." Maybe
she whispered to or chums. "Dr.

“Crazy About My Mama."
"You're almost like God. but
you’re simply crazy about my mama.
if I told papa and—and Mrs. Hall.
who sits over there so grand and
proud. something exciting and terri-
ble and thrilling woula happen. But
I'm not gonna tell—I'm not gonna
tell."
For two or three years Charlotte
Mills watched her mother's romance
with the great Dr. Hall with appro-
val and fascination. Perhaps she
even knew that her mother planned
to go away with Dr. Hall and desert
her and Danny and papa. Just as
soon as Charlotte was old enough to
keep house and take care of the men
tolks. And probably her romantic
young heart approved and applaud-
ed. Maybe she reassured her moth-
er. "I'm a big girl now. meme. 1 can
keep house for papa and Danny. I
want you to be happy. and Dr. Ball
is simply crazy about you."
Then. four years ago. the secret
t at had been so deliciously roman-
t , the secret that she had hugged
to her own heart. the scent that
had thrown a halo of romance over
her own uninteresting life as "that
little Mills girl." suddenly was g
secret no longer. And her pretty
mama and the great Dr. Hall had
indeed gone away together. but not
to kiss and write poetry to each
other amid e cherry blouoms.
Not owed to libs-get
Charlotte could not run away and
wipe out the horror with now. won-
derful sights. No one would let her
forget. For four years she walked
the streets of New Brunswick. a
marked girl-women. the pitilen
light of notoriety burning always
upon her. During thtpe four shy
Wears that bridge the gap between
adolescence and young woman-
hood. she wss forced to precocious
maturity in the hothsuss ot sinister
fame. if she turned her blue ores
upon a boy [who pleased her fancy.
there were a hundred whispers to
his about her—"like mother. like
daughter."
No‘ she is twonm and she site

the court of Somerset county. her
bright blue eyes no longer shy. s.
self-conscious. notified smile upon
her lips.
her young shoulders and take up
her load. determined to prove lathe
world that all the Mills family were
not wesklings.
It is to her credit that she devol-
oped. in the four year! nrecedlns

dressed as well as the average girl
of limited means. that she can
speak gramatlcally aml with poise

help she made her own clothes.
kept a neat home.
“'ritcs Secrets Thoughts and "once
i It is her future that interests her.
'The young cannot weep for 4 years.
"Let‘s see." she must commnnc
, with herself. "what can l get out of
late newspaper fame? That is the
lonly Weapon 1 have with which‘to
fight the world. to force it to give
me money and pretty clothes and
sweethearts. What can I do with
this fame that 1 did not invite but
which 1 could not keep from com-
Ing my way? i can sell my story to
the papers. Why not? i need the
money. don't 1? And it is not die-
honorable to write for a living. even
if i write my utmost secret thoughts
and hopes."
And so she sold her heart and
her memories of her mother and of
Dr. Hall to the papers. Would any
of us rather see her in quccr. cheap
little garments. because the effect
would have been more dramatic?
Now. it is said. she looks towards
Broadway. as a market for her pret-
tiness and her peculiar fame.
Charlotte. the cyncsure of all
eyes. and happy in her fame. does
not realise that the “show" is about
to close~thc big drama in which
she had a ‘run of the play" con-
tract. Shc does not realize that
after the verdict is brought in.
Whatever it may be. she will for the
second time in her young life. have
to start al over again.
It is re or sad and rather tor.
rible to picture what the next four
years ’of her life will bring her. Ilut.

her from being crushed these lzlsii
four Years will see her through tho)
next four and the next and the next. l
Provided she can forget llcr sitar-i
innate notoriety and be content with i
an obscure life and. rather less than
ordinary happiness. But that is a
very big if.

ST. PAUL. (AP)-—-If the corn bolt
farmer this fall wept with the skies

The fall of 1926 has been the
quietest in years from a forest fire

and the timber which will build
many a cottage has been saved by
the heavy reins of late August and
September.
The first blanket of snow early in
November virtually ended the an-
nual forest fire season in Minnesota,
Wisconsin and northern Michigan.

Fires in Michigan this year burned

IF YOU PAY THE COAL BILL YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE
the coal that is revolutionizing the buying habits of New Eng-
land coal consumers.
Thousands of satisfied users are now burning White Oak. They
would have no other. They are cutting their coal bill from one-
quartar to one-third, and are getting more heat per ton.
Fuel experts recommend White Oak Coal. After exhaustive
tests last year a responsible body of recognized authorities pub-
licly put their stamp of approval on White Oak type coal,
eaging that because of its best value, if said at two-thirds the
price of New England’s usual fuel, the purchaser actually gets
twice the amount of heat for his money.
Try White cotton. You will iind it clean. lowest in ash, free
from clinkers, and economical to burn. Time and time again,
it has proved in actual use that it will produce 20% more heat
per ton than the average grade of coal.
Now is the time to fill those empty bins. Order wan! Oak.
It means that you put less coal in—you get more heat out—sud
