absotute sincerity, and this fact, before the arrival of the ex-convict, convinced. many that he was Kimmel or he would not dare to come here under such circumstances, They thought that no im- postor would take advantage of one of Kimmel’s relatives. He arrived here Tuesday night. He met a few former friends of Kimmel, and, while not recog- nizing them outright, seemed to be ablef after a time, to recall some things about their lives which they knew that Kimmel knew. It seemed during the first few.hours of his stay in- Niles that he was going to have comparatively easy sailing in establishing his identity as Kimmel, Difficulty of Proving Identity Comes Quickly and Multiplies } HE morning after his arrival his troubles be- J gan to multiply. Scores of former friends of George A. Kimmel: went to see. the man of mystery. He failed to call any of them by their names. “Yes, I know you,” he would say. “But I can't remember your name. Just give me time and I will tell you who you are,” Then he would put his hang to his head and think. One of the callers was William Bunberry, a former livery man, “Don't you know me?” sald Bunberry. When there was no recognition, Bunbury added: “I used to be in the livery business here. Now, don’t you know me?’ “Il can’t call your name,” said the pretended Kimmel, “but, say, you remember, don’t you, the time you rented me a watch-eyed horse te drive some giris down to Buchananf” Bunberry did remember.

A LAW THAT PREVENTS STRIKES. No doubt as a result of the reciprocity cam- paign, a closer and more interested attention has been directed from this side of the line to cer- tain Canadian devic-: in government. One of these devices whose study is particularly oppor- tune in view of threatened labor troubles in this country is the Lemieux act for the adjustmen of industrial disputes. * In the first few months of its operation this act was not regarded with much favor by observers in the United States. One of its distinctive fea- tures provides that fn the case of all* public serv- ice corporations a notice of 30 days must be given of a strike on the part of employes or a lockout on the part of employers. The provision seemed impossible of enforcement. | e Data on the operation of the act show a success far greater then was expected. Of 82 threatened ' strikes, 73 have been satisfactorily settled under the terms of the act. Its success is attributed, not so much to any features of originality and strength in the act itself, as to its incidental ef-. fect of giving large publicity to the merits of labor controversies. No standing tribunal of conciliation and inquiry for all cases exists, a new board of three being appointed to investigate each dispute. When public utilities are affected, the act becomes operative at the request of either perty to the controversy. The request of both parties is requisite in all other dispute- ' The point of significance is that in a country in which the principles of the common law pre- vail as in our own legal] machinery for the pre- rantion of strikes not only exists, but is being applie&+to disputes as embittered and complicated as our own, with results of such practical value as to save Canadian employes and employers large sums of money and to protect the public from distress and loss. [ The riots of ultimate consumers abroad against . the high coat of living give us increased appré- ciation of the patient and law-abiding character of our own people. ba

As long as it is possible for aeroplane engines to incinerate aviators and passengers in mid-air, _ passengers will be few and the public will have no confidence in aeroplaning.

HANDS, Speaker Clark shifts some ofthe responsibility for the annexation scare, which helped to defeat reciprocity in Canada, from himself to President Taft. Mr. Clark’s foolish explosion on the eve of his election to theespeakership was ‘effec- tively used by the Canadian Conservatives, but Mr. Taft is not guiltless of similar ‘mistakes. His utterances warning Canada that she was ‘at the parting of the ways” and urging Congress to hurry the retiprocity bill to forestall Great | Britain’s policy of preferential tariff rates with the colonies were conspicuously. quoted by anti- reciprocity newspapers and voters. Conservative annexation’ This .was published im paralfel. column with the newspaper’s annexation articles. Undoubtedly these were unintentional slips. Mr. Taft should be credited with’ sincerity in his reciprocity campaign. But the defeat of his pro- ject in Canada emphasizes his mistake in veto- ing the. wool,.cotton and free list tariff reform bills. The reciprocity bill with its small ,measure of | tariff reform benefits for which he fought de- pended upon the approval and co-operation of another people. The tariff reform bills which offered a large measure of relief from excessive tariff taxes and which he vetoed needed only his own approval to become effective as law. The reform of gur’own admittedly unjust tariff could have been accomplished without the consent or peration of any other people or Government. The approval of the President alone, Congress | having acted, would have assured the people of the United States prompt relief from the increased cost of living caused by privilege taxation. Mr. Taft now comes to the people to defend his record with empty hands, so far as tariff reform is concerned, Not one step toward popular relief. has. been accomplished, by his administration. Everything is postponed for the benefit df the protected interests to the uncertain future. Every promise, direct, or implied to the suffering con- sumer.has been broken. Mr. Taft is confronted with the necessity of prompt action to redeem hie broken promises and prove his sincerity. » »

Attacked in front by the president of Harvard and in the rear by his own grandson, R. T. Crane III, who is a Harvard graduate, R. T. Crane I of Chicago, is doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. He has made so much money that he can afford to spend as much money and also as much time as he pleases in controversy with collegians, who think they can learn as much about business as he knows. In the end, the controversy will come back to the beginning. It is a very simple proposition that the man who is educated until he would rather do something he thitiks very fine or very high and noble than use his education in making more money, will be apt to spend money for what he likes best than to make it for anything else. : , ‘ R. T. Crane I educated his own liking to an ‘tent which refutes his-own theory of the use ness of higher education. He is one of the most highly educated specialists in Chicago. He likes his own money-making specialty so well that he may think nothing could be higher. He has percentages to prove it. They may prove hly gratifying to his great R. as

“RUST POLICY THAT HAS TEETH. ‘The remarkable interview on trust prosecu- tions given by Attorney-General Wickersham to ithe Post-Dispatch staff correspondent at Bretton Woods, N. H., has the following among its many statements of acute public interest: And if I continue to serve as Attorney-Gen- eral till the end of Mr. Taft’s term, I intend , to send sOme of them (trust magnates) to ‘prison. ‘After years of pretense and sham on the part of officials and of open defiance or .secret sub- terfuge on the part of trusts and of dickering and intriguing on the part of: both, a coherent, easily understood national policy with respect to. illegal combineg is at length announced. It is a very simple policy. The law as laid down in the statute books and defined in the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust decisions is to be enforced, and convicted trust offenders are to receive no greater favor than other offenders under the United States statutes. . Corporations conducted in conformity with the law have nothing to fear. On the contrary, they will benefit along with the rest of the public ffom the new conditions which relief:from trust. rapacity and unfair competition will treate. But the Beef Trust, perhaps the most obnoxious of 20, the Anthracite Trust, the Lumber Trust, the Shoe Machinery Trust, all other illegal combines Their day of unrestrained extortion on the consumer is about to pass. No wonder the Steel Trust and the Harvester Trust are preparing to reotganize. “I have no authority to grant im- munity,” says the chief law officer of the Gov- ernment, revealing a conception of official duty different from that of Mr. Roosevelt in the case of a certain Steel Trust transaction. Magnates who submit will be placed under bonds to keep the peace. As to flagrant and persistent viola- tors of the law, Mr. Wickersham says, “If we can get a jury to convict and a trial judge to .| impose the sentences we shal] urge, these men will go to jail; but I can’t send them to jail. That is up to the court.” ’ What a contrast between the policy thus an- nounced and past Government practices. A new idea of Mr. Wickersham is given the public in this vigorous interview. His words are those of a man of clear perceptions, courage and deter- mination. = rw eS

Agitators pretend to find cause for concern because the courts interpose limitations on the legislative power in. preventing invalid laws from becoming operative after enactment. But a body. that is neither judi¢ial, legislative no: executive, the noncescrip$Tariff Board without authority from constitution or the people, has just interdicted the operation of sundry just and meritorious measures before enactment. x hi hi ———— rr ‘‘PINE TEAS’’ AND ‘‘RED BLOOD.’’ As the “Men and Missions Forward Move- ment” is launched with millions of capital re- ported behind it, one of its Indiana apostles, the Rev. Charles Fillmore, has emitted a triumphant prophecy of coming liberation. As some may find it hard to guess what he wishes so sincerely to be liberated from, it may be defined for them in the Anglo-Gallic word “feminism.” Religion, as he understands it, is suffering from anemia, “due to pink teas instead of red blood.’’ It is in thraldom to the Ladies’ Aid Society. In “place of the ancient army of the Lord, wielding the sword of the spirit, we have the Dorcas Needle Circle,” Mr. Fillmore says. This ig not wholly novel. It has appeared often in tables of statistics. Incidentally, they show that those who enlist in the modern “army of the Lord” often do so at low salaries, which the summaries of the statistics show depend largely on the Dorcas needle, the pink tea, and other de- vices to .which the Ladies’ Aid Societies resort when the demand on poverty for cash is urgent and the circulation of “red blood” is in danger of becoming sluggish without it. This is the sort. of “feminism” to which reli- gion must be in a greater or less thraldom, until

American confidence in an adequate capitalization is profound. Perhaps the only faith we have ac- tually at work which does more is the sort illus- trated by religion which shows its highest re- sults in spite of its poverty. If this faith belongs only to “the Dorcas needle,” it is the more the pity. Secretary of War Stimson says the army pays for its keep in the work done for sanitation in Cuba and Panama for the benefit of all the tropics. When war ministers begin to justify the cost of standing armies on their efforts in preserving instead of destroying humanity, what contrary argument remains to be opposed? His- tory ought to cease presently to be merely a ‘rec- ord of the world’s wars. What is the navy doing for mankind to justify the cost of the competition in battleship building? : ,

THE TRUSTS AND THE LAW. (From an article on the Standard Oil and Tobacco de- cisions in the July North American Review by Federal Judge Grosstup of Chicago, who is retiring from the bench betause he wishes ‘“‘more freedom.”’) It would be mere hypocrisy to say that the court has not turned upon itself. What the court 14 years ago said was not in the act the court iow says is in the act. Meantime not a letter of the act has been changed. What has changed is the attitude of the public mind—the public mind informed by this 14 years of experience, + 7 . The explanation is that the Sherman act as pre-} viously interpreted was a wholly misconceived and misdirected public sentiment. It was loaded with disappointment to those who sincerely are looking forward to a national prosperity more widely distributed, and with dynamite to those whose interest is wholly in the present. As a road to restored “individualism” in trade and commerce it led nowhere; every one of its boast- ed achievements, like the Northern Securities case, for instance, faded entirely away the mo- ment the last-line of the decree had been writ- ten. The “dissolutions” were dissolutions on paper only. As a road to better busimess and economic oon- ditions the act had brought the country to the edge of the volcano. It was inevitable that an experiment of that kind would be stopped some time by somebody. ; z * The “fact” that modern enterprise operates and must operate through combinations and even monopolies has become so obvious that everyone sees it—everyone except the “law.” * * * In other words, the currents of “law” ang “fact” respecting monopoly and combination, instead of running side by side, as they should run, took to running in opposite directions. . J + Ln no place was the misplacement of the Sher- man act as previously interpreted more clearly exhibited than in its application to the railroads of the country. The practical result of the Sherman act: as previously interpreted was that not only the car- riers of the country and the so-called big trusts of the country, but nearly every business of every character was put literally “under the con- demnation of the law.” Nearly every business movement with spirit in it became a national sin. And there was no escape from the wrath to come except to make one’s peace with the exec- utive authorities at Washington. Of course, no President or Attorney-General ever wished to bring havoc to business. There was never a day, therefore, that the law was executed against all who fell literally under its condemnation. ¢ © © Who should be punished for violating the law was a province transferred from the courts to the executive, and the transfer, unob- served as it was, was nothing less, as someone— Judge Lacombe, I think—has already said, than revolution in every ideal of English”and Amer- ican Juriapeusenes. One word more. From the viewpoint of the business man and his lawyer, it is plain that the Sherman act, even as how interpreted, is still not definite; that no business foresight can dis- cern what restraint of trade incidental to busi- ness may be held by the courts to be reasonable ang what unreasonable; that every push of en- terprise forward is to enter upon : * I * >: From the viewpoint of a large number of those ‘to whom this inquiry is a matter of deep con- cert, perhaps a large majority the Sher

EMPEROR TELLS GERMAN STUDENTS TO STUDY GREEK ——— Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1911, by Press , Co. (New York World.) BERLIN, Sept. 23.—Soclety is laughing glee- fully over the manner in which the Crown Prince Outwitted his father and temporarily, at léast, evaded the Emperor's virtual banishment of his heir from the capital. It was current gossip months ago, when the Crown Prince was assignéd to the active command of the famous Black Hus-

sars, with headquarters at Danzig, that the Em- | peror.was jealous of his son’s popularity at the German capital. This week Emperor William went to Danzig personally to hand over the command to. the /|} Crown Prince. Not only the town itself, but the whole district was crowded with country society | rejoicing that the future Emperor was taking up his residence there. With much pomp the Em- peror installed the Prince in command. §. To his father’s verbose, enthusiastic address the Crown Prince made a brief, not to say curt, re- sponse. Four hours later he notified the higher officers of his new command that he would take @ month's furlough, after which he jumped into his automobile and hurried back to Potsdam, ' Crown Princess Cecilie has decided, for family reasons, not to go to Danzig, for,the Printe will do no entertaining there during the season.

After address- , ing the pupils on the value of a classical educa- * ai tion, he presented the school with a new flag. He counseled the. pupils to devote themselves ; to the study of Greek.and to profit from the Hel- - lente spirit, he said, which more today than ever influences our art. Especially should the pupils learn how Greek culture led to harmony in public ‘ and private life, and in the realm of art. t, The Emperor said he is an admirer of Greek fhevetere and expresseq the hope that in present classical ‘institutions the language will be so taught. that not alone the individual but the whole nation will obtain lasting benefit therefrom. The pu. ‘ls were told not to forget that they were learning, not merely for the school only, but for life, and should bear in mind ‘that some day they will be called upon as good citizens to see that Germany preserves the honorable position whith it has wen in serious times in history.

PORTUGAL’S NEW PRESIDENT STRONG Manypel de Arriaga Is Proceeding to Lead His Countrymen Into - Peace.

LISBON, Sept. 23.—In spite of inflammatory articles sent out ef Portugal by royalist corre- spendents, the newest republic is quietly and steadily establishing itself. Its first President, M. Manuel de Arriaga, since his installation sev- eral weeks ago, is filling his Cabinet -with strong men, and the people are supporting the adminis- tration generously. Manuel de Arriaga is perhaps without question the ideal man to direct Portuguese affairs at this critical time, Custom-bound venerators of the nobility have nothing to complain of in him, for he is of one of the oldest and most aristo- cratic families. Democrats have no ground :for distrust, because he is a poor man, who has had to earn his breag by honest toil. He Is 70, Bat Very Active. He {ts 70 years old, but is withalez* man of great vigor, mentally and bodily. Hé“is a man of refined personality. He belongs te the old and noble family of the Acores and was born !n therIsland of'Fayal, There is a strain of French blood in ‘him, of which he is very proud, one of his ancestors having married a Basque woman. ‘There are savants who say that he is of the line of Hugh Capet II. However that .may be, he has been a republican in spirit from his in- fancy. * Under the monarchy he was elected to the Parliament several times, ang became noted for his energetic preachments of Democratic doc- trines.. He was a member of the faculty of the Coimbra University. After the expulsion of the royal house he was made ‘Attorney "General of the republic. His — — Simple. His inauguration was truly democratic in its simplictiy. After, taking the oath of office, he made a brief addréss from the balcony of the palace of the Parliament. Amidst salvos of ar- ‘tillery, he’ was driven in a motor car to Belem Palace, the seat of government. The next day F'rance formally recognized the Republic of Por- tugal. — At the moment De Arriaga became first Pres- ident of. Portugal, a new flag was unbent to the. breeze—the banner of the newest republic, Its field is composed of two vertical bands, one a deep gréen, the other a brilliant red. At the place where the colors. join .is the armillary sphere, recalling the most glorious epoch in Por- tuguese: history, the reign of Manuel I. Super- imposed ,is the national escutcheon, argent with five shields of azure arranged in the form of the cross, with a border, gules, charged with seven castles; each with three gold towers. , This, is, the national standard. Modifications of it have been. adopted as the emblems of the ‘army and the ‘navy. ‘PRECEDENCE OF NAM E IN LIST AGITATES CLERGYMEN | Spectal Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York | Werld.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World, by Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) PARIS, Sept. 23.—Aviation has captivated the Americans in Paris, both those who make their homes here and those who are merely visitors. Every day this week some of them have made flights, the women being as enthusiastic as the men. On a stormy day this week Mrs. Charles Oakes of New York was the only woman passen- ger. The wind was so strong that even the most fearless aviators at the Buc Aerodrome hesitated about venturifg into the air, but Mrs. Oakes in- sisted on going, and finally Maurice Farman took her on a cross-country flight, after walen she left Paris for New York. Everybody is curious to know who is the Amer- ican girl who made a flight this week with Clar- ence de Knight, a Washington lawyer, but he gallantly respects her incognito, They appeared late one afternoon at the Buc Aerodrome, at an hour when they supposed everyone had departed, and took a flight in a military three-seated bi- Plane with Maurice Farman. The aeroplane arose easily, soared to a good height, circling the aero- drome, then saileq over the La Boulie golf course, where many Americans were playing, passed the Versailles Palace, and, returning to the aviation field after 20 minutes, landed gently. Mr. de Knight was enthusiastic over the trip and the éase with which the aeroplane was driven. His interest in studying the practical handling of an aeroplane and the difficulties encountered was prompteg chiefly by the fact that he and Donald Harper, an American lawyer practicing in Paris, are engaged upon an international air code, which will be submitted soon to the Aero Club for its sanction. Isadora Duncan, who has an apartment on Rue Octave Feuillet, paid a visit to the Buc Aerodrome this week and made a long cross-country flight with Farman. Mlle. Nimidoff of the Paris opera also made’a long flight as a passenger. LLOYD-GEORGE LEAVES KING TO VISIT CARNEGIE Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New Yerk World.

But they all succumb to Lloyd-George’s personal charm when they meet him, his cheeriness and amiability being irre- pressible. - Queen Mary took Lloyd-George to tea at Ad- miral and Mrs. Beatty’s one afternoon at Inver- cauld. The party was as merry as possible. At Skibo, Lloyd-George played golf with Carnegie, was driven over the “laird’s” vast estate and went with his host on a day’s yachting cruise. Carnegie was deeply interested in Lloyd- George’s insurance scheme and discussed with him the special difficulties in the way of carrying out such a plan in Ameriga. Lloyd-George thinks it could’ be done if it haq popular support. He says that the capitalists above all are interested in its adoption, as their best insurance for the future. SNAIL FAMINE SERIOUS TO THE POOR IN FRANCE Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York Werld. PARIS, Sept. 23.—Paris is threatenea witl# a snail famine, owing to the hot and dry weather which has prevailed this summer. To the aver- age American this does not mean much, but to the Frenchman it means that through the autumn and winter thousands of Jumble families are to be deprived of their most toothsome dishes, of which ordinarily they would partake at least twice a week. . The heat has dried all the vegetation upon which snails feed. In Burgundy and other wine- growing districts where the best snails are ob- tained it is reperted that hardly any are to be found, and such as can be got are of very poor uality.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. \ by Press Pub. Coa. (New York World.) ROME, Sept. 23.—Amalia Guglielminetti, po— etess, novelist and journalist, one of the mast fascinating of Italy’s daughters, has boldly d>- clared that man has lost the power of loving and that'’the passion of love is in decadence. She wants ta revive the age ‘of minstreltry and chivalry, when lovesick poets thought noth- Copyright, 1911, ing of sacrificing life to:.their ideal, and when knights fought for their dulcineas without any regard to marriage portions or family expecta- tions. She says that teday love in its highest sense is practically -aeid; that man is little better than a mere animal;. that woman on her side does little to fan the immortal flame, but. thinks more of her frocks and her freedom-——hence, the increase in divorce’ and the gradual disgust of man for the married state. Of course, Signira Guglielminetti’s views do not find general favor, and have provoked an animated press ‘ecatroversy in which her op- ponents laugh her views to scorn and pronounce her a crank.

SHE WILL SHINE IN WASHINGTON New Russien Envoy’s American Wife Has as Many Decorations as Most of the Ambassadors. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Topyright, 1911, by Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 23.—One of the hap- piest women in all Russia these days is Mme, Bakhmeteff, the American wife of the newly ap- pointed Russian Ambassador at Washington to succeed Baron Rosen. That appointment has been the diplomatic goal toward which Bakhmeteff and his wife have peen working for years, as they want to renew their many friendships in the United States and live a while in Mrs. Bakhme- teff’s native country. She is the daughter of Gen. Edward F. Beale of California and Washington, the sister of Mrs, John R, McLean and aunt of Admiral Dewey’s wife. The Beale family’s influence has long been- at work in Washington to brihg@ about the ap- pointment, and it was confidentially announced } as promised by the Czar upon the retirement of Count Cassini. But that was the periog of the Russian-Japanese War, and His Imperial Majesty sent Bakhmeteff as Ambassador to Japah instead of to Washington, as his knowledge of the Japan- ese situation was of the highest value to Russia at that particular time. -Mrs. Bakhmeteff was particularly persona grata with the Emperor of.Japan, and it was said that her tact and personal charm did a great deal toward bringing. about: friendly relations between the two countries after their hostilities. Whem she returned to Russia from Japan, it was with a small kennel of Japanese dogs from the Mikado’s ee breed, and many costly gifts from the perial family. Mr. Bakhmeteff has had a long and varied dip- lomatic career, beginning as a young attache to the Russian Embassy in Londom going from there to Paris as second secretary, and then on to Athens as first secretary. His first important appointment was as Minis- ter to.Bulgaria, where he stayed five years, and Where Mrs. Bakhmeteff became famous for her courageous protection of foreign women and girls during the Macedonian massacres, her home being thrown open day and night tp the fleeing refugees, The Sultan of Turkey, far from being offended at her defiance of the Turkish soldiers responsible for the massacres, decorated her with the Turkish Order of the Chefakat, first-class, and Grand Cordon. In Bulgaria Mrs. Bakhmeteff or- canized a systematic protection for the children of the poor, establishing a creche and a society f-r sick children called the Bulgarian Sevlety of the Eudoxtie. At diplomatic receptions in Washin | she can" wear as many decorations as most of. .. }ambas- sadors, having been decorated by the Czar with the Russian Palestine Order and the Russian Red Cross, and possessing in addition the Bulgarian Civil Merit of the first class in diamonds, the Order of the Holy Sepulcher, the Roéumanian Order of Elizabeth and the Servian Red Cross, Her fad for horses and dogs has become almost a passion, and Washington is sure to see strange and extraordinary breeds and beautiful animals which Mrs, Bakhmeteff has brought togeth#r in } ber coliection from the ends of the earth.

Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York Copyright. 1911, by Press Pub, Co, (ew York World.) POONA, British India, Sept. 23.—<Already the announcement’ is made that the Maharajah of Nepal is to use 600 elephants for King George's cem ber. While King George’is in Nepal, Queen — will be, sightseeing in Rajputana, When the King and sQueen visited India six years ago as Prince and Princess of Wales, the Maharajah in- vited His Royal Highness to Nepal and made vast preparations to provide a royal hunt in his jungle preserves, but the plan was upset by a virulent outbreak of cholera in the region where the hunt was to \be. The disappcintment was keen to the English Prince, but not lesa so to His Highness’ entertainer. Next December the same royal personage wil! come to India in the rank of King-Hmperor and his entertainment will be on a corresponding scale of.grandeur. No other jungles in Asia are as dense as the southern foothills and marshy Tara! ef the cen- tral and Eastern Himalaya Mountains. They swarm with wild beasts which are seldom dis- turbed because foreign sportsmen are excluded except when they go at His Highness’ invita- tion. The shooting done by the Maharajah atid his nobles is not enough to make an impression on the game, which itneludes wild elephants and rhinoceroses, with all the species of tigers, bears, leopards, deer and pigs. GAME COLLECTED FOR THE HUNT. In preparation for the. King’s visit a tract of this jungle, perhaps 15 miles long and half as. broad, will be selected, and all the beasts in a much wider area will be slowly and patiently driven into it by men mounted on elephants, making just noise enough to induce the game to move on without alarm. By this means, in the course of weeks 20 or 30 tigers, with other beasts area which will then be surrounded by a ring of watehmen, with the addition of fires by hight: The space being so large and well supplied with the tigers’ natural prey, the beasts will not seek to escape nor even to approach the watch- men's huts.

Gayest Season St. Louis Has Known for Many Years, Is Unanimous Prophecy of Society Folk Now Harrying Back From Summer Homes, Ready to Welcome the Large Class of Debutantes and Enjoy Excep- tional Musical Pro- gram. . 7

| yiTH the advent of cool W ‘' weather society {is return-" ing to town—bag and baggage. Every incoming train for the past week has been crowded with St. Louisans who remained away later than usual this year. All through the fashionable residence district houses long closed are be ing put in order. Through open windows you can see decorators and cleaners busy with the last touches before the family arrives and by the end of the week almost every one will be at home—every one but a few wanderers who are still abroad and will not turn their faces home- ward another fortnight. One subject seems to be of equal interest to all, no matter where you go it greets your ears. “The season, will it be gay?’ The general opinion of those who should know, is that it will be the gayest winter we have had for years. - To begin with, there is an unusu- ally large number of debutantes. Unlike the last two seasons, they are very representative of St. Louis so- ciety in general and not just 12 or 14 girls brought up together and brought.out together/and who formed a Mttle coterie dominating everything because of their number and wealth. This year so many attractive girls, some alfeady pronounced beauties, belo to families of equal prom- / Amence, will start in a fair field that ft. will be, difficult for any one set, «beginning of the season moctety iss :diyided between the ‘autumn. bride informal teas to the debutantes who have made their frat formal bew at “The Ball.” But with November comes the balls, din- ners, .¢ aces and reception# that keep ‘up the whirl until Lent, when away society goes in search of sunshine; South, West, to the far East and Southern Europe, not to meet again until gext autumn, excepting where traveling parties meet for a brief while. Much good music will be inter- spersed with balls and teas this season, and the operas and concerts of all kinds—even the Pops—have become occasions when society ap- pears in full force. The affair worthy of note fol- distinction than formerly to the royal 3 — VIvrRILLo Port RAITT. 5, besides our own Symphony Con- certs directed by Max Zach, which will be given in pairs, Friday after- noon and Saturday evenings this year and 20 Sunday “Pops.” All of these affairs will be at the Odeon, Then there will be the Morning Choral concerts, the Liederkranz and Apollo Club concerts, during the height of the season, and the Kneisel Quartet at the Wednesday Club auditorium Feb. 19. Taken all and all, the musical affairs, | a bachelor’s ball, two imperials,. the monthly dinner dances at the Woman's Club, and the first Saturday in the month dinner dances at the St. Louis Club and a number of debutante balls that will soon be planned, the winter will indeed be gay.

The four Nubian men will stand at the corners of the rug hold- ing four poles between which will be stretched the royal rods enclosing the space for the royal set. This plan will; protect the Veiled Prophet, the High Priests, the Queen and three maids of honor from being crowded. It will also serve to focus the attention of the spectators and enable them to judge*of the Queen’s grace as* well.as her beauty. [-) grows longer and to the names published last Sunday have been added Miss Laura Gore, the pretty dark-eyed daughter of Mr: and Mrs. Charles H. Gore; Lortia Doone Carr, Mrs. John R.

Erwin, U. & A.— known as “Beauty” Erwin in his cadet days—and Mrs. Erwin, who was Miss Isabel Doan, one of St. Louis’ belles of two decades ago. Major Er- win is stationed in Chicago and Miss Erwin will doubtless spend much time here with her sister, Mrs, Ed- ward J. Walsh. George Warren Browh's niece, Mrs. Ruth Brown, will make her bow, and Mrs. Brown's popularity assures her success. Miss Katherine Gatch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elias 8S.

! 41 ; ; Mil OKLAHOMA CITY, Oks, Sept. 23.— When Gov. Lee Cruce got back to Ok- lahoma from his recent trip to Eastern States, where he enjoyed his:first vaca- tion since he took his oath of office, he found that a lot of things had happened during his absence. And all of them direct'* involved the exercise of the executive power. In the absence of the Governor from the State, the Lieutenant-Governor dis- charges the duties of his superior. Now, it came about that the present Lieutenant-Governor, Co]. J. J. McAles- ter of McAlester, had looked forward as in a dream to the day when he could gay that he had served, if only for a little while, as the governor of Okla- hema. No sooner had Gov. Cruce checked his baggage and departed for alien terri- tory, than McAlester betook himself to the gubernatorial office, and began looking around to seé what he could do to better conditions in Oklahoma. McAlester is. an old-fashioned man with a big heart. He made a fortune selling merchandise in Indian Territory long before Oklahoma was opened to settlement. He married a woman of Indian bloed and in that way became a participant in the tribal affairs of the Choctaw Nation. His first job in In- @ian Territory, as a young Man, was that of a bull-whacker on a wagon train. @ne «-* his pleasures is to pull off his ghoes in. ‘**« hot summer time and, sit in his office smoking a cob pipe and eccasionally drinking cold buttermilk. He doubts that the gods themselves ever drank anything so ~ as cold, fresh buttermilk. He Bought a Gold Srick. A cardinal precept or virtue of Mc- Alest-~ is his absolute confidence in the jitegrity, straightforwardness and ve- racity of everybody who in one way or rene gh ay Rage Raprridans "ince IIIIIII lt ui HALA MLM Lis, PSS * 5°33 > e:: x* ar ote ce — Le Ne SA Ee — * side,” an’ it has.cost him money 4s ox ——— — >"> —— — yy =" and SALE $9 oot tt — tee when Gov.

Elis, former Secretary of the State Poord of Agriculture, editor of a farm taper and considered Missour!’s leading agricultural expert, takes issue with Fresident Taft on the latter’s state- ment that, the United States is out- grcwing its farm acreage. “Why,” says Ellis, “theré is enough waste land in any Middle Western agrl- cu'tural state, like Missouri, to support tha. state, if methods of intensive ag- a es - * «* * —22 —

There is enough unoccupied land in the country to support the country’s” population, while if the land which is now being culliyated in loose and expensive fash- ion should be cultivated under intensive scientific plan, the surface of the United States would support many times its present population.’’ How. Crops Are Increased. Having disburdened himself of these strictures of the President’s statement, EF! 4s proceeded to expound the method 1.e- would use to make the soil of the Lin‘ted States support a population as @ense as that of certain crowded Euro- rean countries. ‘The amount of any crop can be in- creased without increasing the acreage or perceptibly increasing the number of farmers’ required to raise the crop. Within the last 26 or 30 years the prod- uct. Of the individual farmer has in- creased several times. Under the sys- tem in vogue 2% years ago, it wwuuid take seven men one day to narvest 15 acres of wheat. With the self-binder three men and three mules can do the work in one day. Similarly, the gang plow was unknown during the last gen- ertion. At that time it took one man and eas two horses an entife day to break two acres.

IS SENTENCED T0 INL AND FINED Arkansas Judge Holds Interview Is in Contempt of Dignity of Office. — — * IS —— — — CarlLee Admits Some of State- ments Printed, but Denies Others to Court. — LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. Unless the Supreme Court intervenes In the sentence of the lower court. Arkansas will soon have the spectacle of a member of the Staté Senate. Elmo Carlee, serving a jail sentence of six months and paying a $6500 fine for contempt of Judge H, N. Hutton, for causing to be published an inter- view derogatory to his dignity as a presiding judge. The case is the outcome. of one of the bitterest political controversies in the State in recent years. CarlLee and J. Emmett Smith were candidates for the Democratic nomination for State Senator from the Seventh Dis- trict. The election was stubbornly contested in the party organizations and the court, Carllee winning the seat. An interview appeared in the . Arkansas Gazette, ascribed to Carl- Lee, in which he made a vigorous attack upon a ruling that had been made by Judge Hutton. The city edi- tor. of the Gazette testified that he had taken the alleged interview by long distance telephone from Augus- ta, on the night of publication, and that it was given to him by a man who sald he was Elmo CarlLee. Denied Part of Interyiew. Senator CarlLee admitted having made some of the statefhents con- tained in the interview, in substance, and strenuously deried others. He further declared that he did not talk with the city editor but with a re- porter ‘who is a personal friend of his. After having beard all the evidence and arguments, Judge Hutton passed sentence upon the lawmaker, scoring him severely for the offence of which he had adjudged him guilty. “Senator CarlLee has never until today disclaimed responsibility for this published atatemept.” said Judge liutton. “His silence is a virtual confession. That he should have allowed his pas- ’ giors to take such a course is aston- ishing. There was no excuse what- ever for giving out this article for publication, This is not a pleasan: proceeding for me. It is not a per- sonal matter. I have always been able to care for myself in personal matters. But an attempt has been made to degrade — defame the posi- tion I hold. | “Should I ever 2 so craven that I cannot defend and sustain the honor and dignity of the position I hold, I will surrender it within an hour. I have considered the matter at length and consulted the authori- ties carefully. I have not allowed personal feelings to enter into the -case and have acted upon a firm de- termination not to pass the bounds of reason. In cases of this character punishment should be inflicted only for the purpose of preventing the degradation of justice. I am going to inflict a fine in this case, firm in the belief that I am acting within my authority.” Hold Sentence Too Severe. The attorney for the defense con- tended the court exceeded its author. ity by imposing a fine. greater than $50 and 10 days in jail, An effort will be made to have the Supreme Court act upén this case at once, Senator CarllLee .was known as one of the belligerent members of the last session, having gained a reputa- tion as a political fighter. In a spir- ited controversy, over the St. Francis levee he and Senator Turner of Jones- boro came to blows. He was one of the active leaders of the effective minority which organized an insur- went movement to attempt to oust the President of the Senate because of alleged arbitrary rulings.

Before a general strike is ordered, however, every miner in the district must vote his sentiments on a contro- versy at the Excelsior mine. The Exec- utive Board will be guided by the ac- tion of the miners. It has not been de- cided in what manner the sentiment of the miners shall be obtained. DUT-OF-ORDCR STOMACHS FEEL: FINE AFTER TAKING A LITTLE QIAPEPSIN. As there is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of Indi- gestion or some form of Stomach trouble, why don’t you keep some Diapepsin in the house handy? This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightost discomfort, and overcome a sour, gassy Stomach five minutes after. Tell. your pharmacist to let you read the formula plainly printed on these 50-cent cases of Pape’s Diapep- sin, then you will readily see why it makes Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heartburn and other’ distress go in five minutes and relieves at once such miseries as Belching of Gas, Eructa- tions of sour undigested food, Nausea, Headache, Dizziness, Constipation and other Stomach disorders.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.— That Iowa cities on the west bank of the Mississippi River are being discrim!- nated against. in freight rates was a charge referred to the Interstete Commerce Commission today by the Board of Railroad Commissioners of Iowa. The petition was filed on behalf of the State of Iowa and alleged that betwe all points in trunk line and central fréight association territories and the Iowa cities west of the Mis- sissippi the rates are grossly exces- sive -and unreasonably discrimina- tory. , The rates affected by the complairt are practically all in effect east, of Iowa ta the Atlantic seaboard. The complaint was directed. against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway and approximately 160 other carriers. It requested that the rates be so adjusted as not to be higher than those concurrently in effect to and from Quincy, IIL, and St. Lou's. More Sales in West Walnut Manor. The David P.

GIRLS PLANT AND ~ HARVEST CROPS Teacher and High School Pupils Take Care of the Farm When Men Are Scarce. TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 23.—Maud Mul-| ler was regarded as a pretty smart girl as she raked her father’s hay and led the Judge to make love to her, but Kansas has some real smart girls, too, and they can do other farm work than anake hay. In the southwest part of Kingman County there lives a German farmer, Rennie Griem. Griem has been in ill health the past year, and his family consists mostly of girls. One is a school teacher and two are pu- pils in the Kingman High. School. Hired help has béen hard to get the past. season, and the father, not being able to attend to his farm work, the girls concluded to do it, and last spring as soon as the eldest daughter’s school closed, she went home, “hooked up” Ahe lister and working early agd late planted in 70 acres of corn. As soon as the other two girls were home from high school they “turned in” and helped cultivate the corn crop, with the milking and care of the stock—soild and delivefed the milk to the creamery. harvested hay from 27 acres of alfalfa, a large crop of prairie hay and other forage crops, and attended to the multi- farious duties: on the ‘farm, all by themselves, receiving no assistance from a man during the entire season, The result is a field of corn which competent judges say will yield an av- erage of 50 bushels to the acre, and all the balance of the farm work up ir ship shape and the girls having: attend- ed to the pressing duties of the farm ind their father being in better health, they will resume their places’ in school for the coming term; the eldest daugh- ter teaching and the two younger ones returning to high school.

MEN ARE LONG SUFRERING Number of Children Affected by Wives’ Actions Is Three to One Greater. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 23.—Wom- an, not man, is the real home-wrecker, according to statistics being compiled from the divorce court records hére. So far, the statistics show practically 80 per cent of the divorce suits now on the Circuit Court docket are brought by centage of the suits are brought on so- called trivial charges. By trivial charges is meant incompatibility of temper, quarrels and charges which do not charge infractions of moral or civil laws. Previous statistics showed that in Jackson County,.in which Kansas City is, there were three suits for divorce filed to every five issued and this startling percentage prompted an investigation. It is found that while 380 per cent of the plaintiffs are brought on trivial charges, less than 10 per cent of the suits filed by the men are based on trivial charges and 9) per cent are charges of desertion, im- moral conduct, refusal to perform mari- tal duties or neglect of the home thequgh a desire to work elsewhere. ‘ R Men Are Long Suffering. Men, too, it is shown by the suits, are long suffering, the average duration of husband is the plaintiff being, twice the duration of marriage,in suits where the wife is plaintiff. Women, too, the statistics show, have apparently less regard for the future of their children. Whereas, in the suits filed by men, the average number of children to the family is about one, while 300 suits taken consecutively from the docket, in which women are plaint- iffs, show nearly 1000 children, or a little more than an average of three to the family. Two deductions are made from this fact, but the investigators have not gone deeply enough to determine which is the more nearly correct. On the one hand, it would tend to show that the husband is disposed to endure longer the marital infelicity in his capacity of a father than the wife is in her ca- pacity of mother. On the other hand, it would tend to show either that the mother has less regard for her children or that she is more confident of the future with them under her sole care, that she is braver in gding forth into the world to make a home for them than the father. The father naturally looks to a woman to care for his chil- dren, and hesitates in taking them from their mother, even where the mother is gravely derelict. The mother, on the other hand, being the children’s nat- ural protector, believes that she can do as well or etter with them without a man. Mother-in-Law Much Maligned. Incidentally, the statistics show that the mother-in-law is a much maligned in-law has taken the son-in-law’s part against her daughter, or daughter-in- law's part against her son, are just as ers-in-law have taken the part of their own child. Furthermore, it is shown, | that mothers-in-law figure actively only ‘in about 2 per cent of the divorce com- plaints. Father-in-law is even more peacefully inclined than that, for he is the sinister figure in only about one- half of 1 per cent of the cases. Gossipy friends, wholly women, are more serious causes of marital infelicity than mother-in-law, father-in-law and all the other in-laws put together, for they are found to have figured prami- nently in'10 per cent of the suits. While Catholic church members make up 20 per cent of the population, they

divorces, and there doesn’t appear to be anything at all in the old saying about “marrying in haste and repenting at leisure.” It is found that long court- ships result in just as many divorces as the love-at-first-sight kind.

Any child will gladly take Cascarets, which act gently—never gripe or produce the slightest uneasiness—though cleanses the little one’s system, sweetens the stomach and puts the liver and bowels in a pure, healthy condition.

After trouble with the postal authorities, Flagg desisted from general use of the mall, and the bulk of his business has been obtained by the system commonly described as the “Suckers endless chain.” Each investor, so far as possible, has been made an agent for Flagg'’s business, lured by the possibility of earning large commis- sions in addition to the 1 per cent dividends. The.weekly checks were sent out with unfalling regularity.

Albert von Hoffman of the Million Club Balloon Committee and his two sons, Albert Jr., 14, and Bernard, 10, with Capt. John Berry as pilot, “took ee trip in a balloon yesterday afteznoon from University City to Madison, III. ; Ten minutes after the passengers dis- embarked from the balloon it was boarded by Paul J. McCollough, who had. followed it in an autemobile. He sailed away alone with the intention of remaining in the air all night. Mc- ] Collough required one trip without com- panions to qualify for a pilot’s license. The balloon was inflated at Univer- sity City and was launched at 3:30 p. m. It shot 1500 feet inte the air, floated westward a few minutes, and then sailed steadily to the northéast. At an altitude of 6000 feet, it passed over League Park, where President Taft was attending the game between the Cardi- nals and the . Quakers. The balloon crossed the river over the McKinley Bridge*and sank gently to the earth in Madisen, without the sacrifice of gas. THOUGHT HE HAD SAVED TAFT’S LIFE U. S.

Regenhardt was standing at the en- trance of the Coliseum prior to the President’s arrival,- when a messenger boy, carrying a cylindrical package wrapped in white tissue paper and adorned with blue ribbun, inguired for “William F. Taft."’ “A lady told me to deliver this pack- age to him,” the boy explained. The Marshal cautiouslytteok the pack- age from the messenger and, carrying it at arm’s length, walked gingerly around to Jefferson avenue, where Secret Serv- ice Operative Edward J. McHugh was stationed. ~- “I won't Tét this get near the Presi- dent,”” said Regenhardt te. McHugh. “Maybe it's a bemb.” . . McHugh took the package to his of- fice and tenderly opened it.'

The sons received a wireless message Friday afternoon that their mother was seriously ill and yesterday morning they got another saying she had died.

J. A. HOLMES’ AUTO RUNS OVER A BOY Accident Opposite Police Station, , but Officers Do Not Know - of It Until. Told. The auto of John A. Holmes of Pertland place was in an accident opposite the Magnolia Avenue Police Station yesterday afternoon, but the officers in the station did not know of the accident until a boy who was hurt had been taken’ to a dector and then to his home. ; About 3:30 Holmes, John Robb, also of 9 Portland place, and the chauffeur, were riding south on the west side of Grand avenue.

METHODS EXPOSED Prosecuting Witnesses Tell Sto- ries—Their Attorney Once Vette’s Counsel. HIS John od Vette, wealthy money lender, pleaded not guilty yesterday to the charge of usury, made against bim in a warrant sworn out by Mrs. Sallle Cromwell of 2837 Washington avenue. The case was set for trtal Oct. 6, and Jeptha D. nnd Alphonso Howe will defend him. Vette has twice before been ar- raigned in the Court of Criminal Cor- rection on charges growing out of Seven years ago he was charged with usury, but a demurrer to the charge was su3- teined by the court. Feur vears ago he was accused of assault and battery by a woman, but that case, also,. was, dismissed. He has twice been security on a for- fcited bond, and in one case escaped payment through a_ technicality, while in the other instance he carrie4 his resistance to the Supreme Court, but had to pay. Difficult to Reach Lenders. The pending charge against Vetta has aroused interest in the subject of loan agencies which, like Vette’s, profit by the urgent need of the poor. It has also called attention to the difficulty of reaching them through the usury laws. Mrs. Crom- well, the plaintiff, has no receipts to show for her contention that she paid Vette $i4 as four months’ inter- est in $35 loan, without reducing the principal. It is not customary for loan agencies to give such receipts. Another means of evading prose- cution is to take notes for amounts much larger than ‘that. actually loaned, so that no evidence of usury wil appear itn. writing. With one possible exception, Vette considered the busiest and weal- thiest of St. Louis’ private money lenders. He is middle aged, stout, with silvery hair and florid counte- nance. His upstairs office on Ninta strect, near Pine, is plainly fur- nished,: but two girls are constantly busy with his ‘beoks and with tele- phone calis and the inquiries of cus- tomers, while five men are employed in outside work. Thought Husband Dying. Charles M. Reeves, attorney for Mrs. Cromwell; on whose complaint the warrant for Vette’s arrest was issued, gays that her case is one of the many that have come to his at- tention that is peculiarly pathetic, she having obtained her first loan from © Vette on a day when she thought her husband was dying. | “The second time she borrowed,” said Reeves, “wae when she needed: coal one freezing day last December and for both of thesé loans she has had to pay Interest’ at the rate of more than 150 per cent annually.” Reeves says that he knows all tho ins and outs of the loan shark busi- ness because several years ago he was attorney for six of them, doing all of their legal work —— gave it up when he became disgusted with it. “John Vette,” said Reeves, “was one of the men whose legal business I used to do. At. that time, seven years ago, I was doing all the legal work: for six of them and if there |!s anything I don’t know about their business I would like to know what it is. I saw them break up homes, Griving people to desperate deeds, Finally I poulé not stand it any is cured by Pyramid Pile Cure.

FLORENCE PORTER. more and left them, but I made up my ming then that if the chance ever came I would go after them and drive them out of st. Louis.” Have a Daily Meeting. The money lenders, according to what Reeves learned, have almost daily meetings at a clearing house of their own and if a man or woman has made a loan during the day that night they all know it. * “The easier a man is the higher rate of interest they charge him, and they have a regular credit system among themselves,” said Reeves, “Usually it is hard to win a case against these people on. account. of lack of witnesses as to what inter- est they are charging, and what was the original amount of the loan and such points, but with the assistance of the City Prosecuting Attorney I am forearmed this time. Mrs. Crom- well has a witness who went with her to Vette’s office and heard his exact words as to the amount of the loan and the interest to be paid.” Vette Defends Business. Vette stoutly defended his business in an interview with a Post-Dispatch re- porter who called at his office. The in- terview took. place in an inner private office, after the proprietor had, with some difficulty, got away for a few minutes from @ line of would-be- bor- rowers in the main room. “I’ve been in this business 32 years,’ he said. : There are people doing busi- ness with me now who were among my first customers. That looks as if I'd treated them right, doesn’t it? “The risks are big and the profits, portion, or the business wouldn't pay. I'l) venture to say that, considering the greater risk and the comparative re- sponsibility of the borrowers, my rates on loans are as fair as those of any bank in St. Louls. | “Then, too, lots of people get away, furniture and all. They could be follow- ed up and prosecuted, but it’s cheaper to let them go. Those losses have to be -figured in. at Grew Out eof HRealty Business. “I was originally in the real estate business, and this business grew out of it until it took up all my time and capital. I haven’t any monopoly. Therg’s plenty of competition in this business, and no one is compelled to borrow from me. | “As I say,. I've treated people right, but you can’t please everybody, and there have been a few complaints to the prosecuting authorities. Usually I've been notified, and have been able to explain everything, so that a warrant would not Be issued. I’m not acquainted with the present adminis- tration in the warrant office, and they didn’t extend me that courtesy. But it will be all the same in the end, fer I will show the court that I charged Mrs. Cromwell only 8 per cent. “The loan came to me from another party, ang all I charged on it was 8 per cent. I will prove that itn court. She was mistaken in saying that I claimed any such amount as she says for interest. But my lawyer has told me not to discuss the case, s0 I mustn’t say any more about that.” Didn't Kuow Vette Loaned to Her. Mra. Florence Porter, a widow, of 1103 Gouth Highteenth street, to whom Circuit Judge Grimm last week grant- ed an injunction against Vette to re- strain Vette from foreclosing a chat- tel mortgage on Mrs. Porter's house- held furniture, told a Post-Dispatch y that she did not know. it was Vette she had borrowed money from until she trieq to settle {ter @ loan of $76. ' “T thought {t was Mrs. Howard C. Lunt who had loaned me the money,” said Mrs. Porter. “I had seen an ad- vertisement, in a newspaper of a Howard C. Lunt, offices in the Ful- jlerton Building, who had money to } loan. I have sinco learned that Mrs. Lunt is Vette’s daughter. “With my mother I went te the offices in the Fullerton Butlding, at Seventh and Pine streets, as the ad- vertisement directed, and there met a woman who said she was Mrs. Lunt. I told her I wanted to borrow $75. She said ‘Well, if you want te get the money we will have to hurry up, or we'll not be able to get inte the bank.’ “That surprised me. as it was then near 6 p. m., and I didn’t think there were any banks open. But she talked 14 great deal as she made out 15 notes for $8 each, and had me sign them as she made them out. I never stop- pea to think what I was doing. But when I had signed the last one she picked up the telephone and when she got her number said: “Hello! Is this the bank? All right. Don't close up until I get over there, I have a woman here _who wants to get some money.’ ” oo eee —— — —— ⸗ *«* Clty and Btate,. cases ee Pe eee ee eee © me, ‘or we will be too late, Hurry “I lett my mother waiting * me there and went along with Mra.

JOHN HH. varia Mrs. Lunt introduced him to me as Mr. Vette.’. Vette bowed and waveu us to a young woman that Mrs. Lunt said was the cashier. The cashier had me sign two more papers and then she gave me the $75.” Mrs. Porter says that when the first note became due she was ill and sent her mother, Mrs. Nettie Herzog, who lives with her, to pay it. The mother say she had to pay. $8.10 to cancel note. When the second note came due Mrs. Porter was still ill, but in the meantime Tad come into a sum |\of money that would enable her to discharge the debt. She sent her mother to learn what kind of @ set- tlement might be arranged, “I went to Mrs. Lunt,” said Mrs. Herzog, “and asked what a settle- ment could be arranged for. She di- rected me to. Vette'’s and the cashier there told me that my daughter was indebted itn the sum of $132. I told her I could not understand that, as she had only signed notes to tho amont of $120 for the $75 that she had porrowed, and $8.10 on the debt had already been paid. “The cashier then called up Mrs. Lunt on the telephone and told her I was in the office and wanted to settle.

I told her that once we had $500 in the bank for a year and we only got $7.60 for it. She said: “Well, it’s different with us. We sell money. You know some persons when they sell a farm make a profit out of buying it and another profit out of selling it.” “I left the office then and when I! went home and told my daughter, we | Chief decided the best thing to,do was to see a lawyer.

Wyatt had been paroled because of a plea. by. his mother. It was the first time he had been arrested. When he was brought in yesterday he said he had beerr unable to find work. but the police said he had been so Wusy joy riding and Grinking that he had no time to look for work. When he was searched, $45 was found in his pockets. He had tried to hide the money under the seat of the auto, but Campbell had prevented this. Assistant of Detectives. Smith asked him where he got the money. He said he had cashed a check at noon at Grand ayenue and Arsenal street. Consulting @ memorandum book, he said the man who had cashed it was Angelo Devoto of 8553 Arsenal st. Complaints have been received by the police from [4 persons who claim to have cashed Wyatt checks since Sept. 8.— His usual method, it is alleged, is to order something to be delivered, tender a check for an amount in excess of the bill, then decamp with the change.

Sumptuous Luncheons —— A distinctive fea turo of Flage’s op- erations has been the social allure- ment held out to prospective custom- ers especially to widows. Every week tRere has been a sumptuous luncheon in the large private dining- room of the Cafe des Beaux Arts, Fortieth street and Sixth avenue, across the street from Flage’s offi- ces. Covers usually were laid every Saturday for 35 guests. Flagg paid the bills and his agents invited pros- pective customers to attend these functions whenever they might be in town. If the “prospect” was a resident of New York he or she was free to eat Flagg’s food and drink his cham- pagne just as long as there was any hope of obtaining business. The luncheon table wag laid today. The waiters were just icing the water glasses when the postoffice inspec- tors came over from the offices and notified the proprietors of the cafe that the guests had been unavoidably detained. The raid was made by Postoffice Inspectors Kincaid, Reddy and Ma- hew, with 10 plain clothes men from police headquarters. A Ralf dozen stylishly dressed wom- en, seated about in comfortable chairs in the reception room, sprang up screaming and started for ad- joiniig rooms as the officers came in the door. All exits were quickly barred and the women told to resume their seats. In rooms leading off from either side of the reception room were a dozen men, all attired in the latest fall fashions. The younger men, for whom the postoffice inspec- tors had no warrants, quickly col- lected in Flagg'’s private office. Flagg, an anemic iooking man, seemed to grow even whiter as he realized the situation that confronted him. He whipped a big black cigar from his vest pocket, sank his teeth through the end of it, touched a match to it and demanding in a rasp- ing voice: “Well, what's it all about?” He didn’t. wait for an answer before exclaiming: “A conspiracy. That's all itis. A con- spiracy on the part of certain influen- tial brokers and certain high officials.” Flagg soon calmed down, tried to smile and summoned to his room several. of the men who are alleged to be con- cerned in one way or another in his ‘“‘get-rich-quick’’ operations. The, first to enter the room was Dan- iel N. Morgan, who was United States Treasurer under President Cleveland. Morgan, short, bespectacled and griz- zled, whispered a few words to Flagg, then took a seat near him. Fifty Deakg im Offices. Meanwhile the inspectors and detect- ives were making a tour of Flageg’s sev- en otfices. They were amazed at the luxury of the rooms’. furnishings. Fully fifty typewriter or flat-topped office desks in quartered oak were scattered

jabout. Filing cases, index systems, tele- 'of the

phones and other office furnishings clut- tered up the spacious rooms. Masses of ‘literature’ were confiscated, together with mail. Flagg and some of his ass0- clates protested in vain. The few employes “still in the offices when the raiders took charge grudging- ly assisted in the search. for evidence. Inspector Kincaid walked among the throngs in the offices, taking the names men first. “Now what's the charge against me?’’ snapped Flagg irritably. “Using the mails to defraud,’’ an- swered Kincaid. ‘‘The same charge !s brought against the other men we hope to apprehend here.” Minister Partner Dejected. Morgan gave his name to the inspec- tor without protesting. The most de- jected-looking man in the place was the Rev. James T. Schock, who is alleged to be a special partner of Flagg and one of the latter’s most engaging selling agents. Schock, a little man, well on in years, waa dressed entirely in gray. His right hand plucked nervously at a scant beard as he steadfastly refused to make any statement other than to admit his identity. “An outrage,” his exclaimed, his head dolefully. Others who gave their names were Henry A. Jackson, accused of being @ former specia] partner of Flagg and one of his selling agents; Edward L. Schiller, Flageg’s office manager, and Joshua Brown, believed to be a selling agent. Jackson, a short man, of dark com- plexion, with a shock of jet black hair, walked nervously from room \to room. Even the purple aster in the buttonhole of his immaculately pressed brown coat seemed to wilt. Schiller, the office manager, remained composed. He told some of the others shaking that the Government had nothing on him—that -he was merely an employe, working for wages. Joshua Brown, past sixty and a bit stooped, appeared crushed. «He sought consolation in the reception. room, sur- rounded by indignant women. Women Beautifully Dressed, None of the women so far as known gave fictitious names. The first ap- proached by Inspector Kincaid was Miss Josephine Anderson of 102 West Fifty- eighth street, a tall, graceful blonde woman, who spoke with a slight French accent. Miss Anderson, like the other women, is one of Flagg’s customer®. She wore a satin and Irish lace gown, under a beautiful kimona coat of black satin and a large black and white hat, pro- fusely trimmed with aigrettes. “This is a shame and an outrage to arrest Mr. Flagg,’” she exclaimed. “The other brokers who are jealous of him are doing this.. Those powers of Wall Street don’t want to let him exist. Mr. Flagg is absolutely honest. He has in- vested my money.” “How much?” “Well, I won't say; considerable, at any rate, I’ve received my interest and am ready to testify * the honesty of his business dealings.’ “Have you received back from Mr. Flagg, in interest the amount of the principal that you have permitted him to invest for you?’ Miss — was asked. —_ =

“Oh, my. no,” was the answer, “but ‘I have received my interest just as it was promised to me, and. I have the greatest confidence in Mr. Flags.” Mrs. Lillian Gibbs Keys, who stuck to a seat off in @ corners Ised any one who approached. Of motherly appear- ance,s her eyes were trained on Flagg whenever he entered the room. “A Shame, a Shame,” Sa ye Woman. “A shame, a shame,”’ she mutt several times. A Mrs. Williams, plump, matronly looking and about forty, who seemed to, be a newggmer at Flage's of- fices, remained speechless. There were other women, some of whomiecame to the door of the offices only to turn away when they learned of the raid. ‘What,’ exclaimed one of them, “‘is the luncheon off today? Isn't that too awful for anything?” The luncheon referred to had been ar- ranged for in accoruance with the weekly custom. .wo o'clock care and went and when the “Viagg party’ didn’t arrive there was a scurrying about of waiters to learn what was detaining the guests. They were not long in learning the news of the raid. Insbector Kincaid hed gone to tne B. ux Arts expecting that Frank Ten- nyson Neely, supposed special partner and agent of Flagg, would ge directly there, not having appeared at Filags’s office. ‘KF. Tennyson Neely Arrested. Neely drove up to the restaurant in company with two stylishly dressed women shortly after 2. He was arrested and with his women companions, taken down town to the office of the United States District Attorney, Federal Build- ing Neely protested vehemently against ar- rest. He denied at the outset,that he was concerned in any way with the doings of Flagg. He said he had re- cently ‘been introduced to the parties that lunched,every Saturday at the Beaux Arts and that he was merely going there to fill the juncneon engage- ment. » At about the same time that Neely was taken by Kincaid, Alvin M. Higgins, lawyer, of 200 Broadway, was arrested at his office by Postoffice Inspector McQuillen. A tall young man of very serious mein, Higgins seemed overcomé by his arrest. He was taken to the Fed- eral Bullding to wait there until the rest of the party arrived for arraign- ment. Newspaper men began to flock in. To- all requests for a statement Mr. Flagg at first shook his head. “Did you guarantee to pay $2 per cent on investments? Were you conducting another 520 per cent Miller scheme?’ Flagg was asked. He responded quick- ly to this. “I guarantee no percentage of returns on investments handled by me,” he snapped. He dived into a drawer and tossed a pile of blank contracts on the table before him. “There’s the contract my customers sign with me,” Flagg exclaimed. “It's open and above board and refutes the charge that I guaranteéd fabulous in- terest. Flagg Says He Is Solvent. “T can pay every dollar I owe,” Flagg continued, glaring at Inspector Kincaid, “I can pay 6 per cent in- terest on every dollar I owe, too, and have a fortune left when I Go. I have handled $1,500,000 during the three years or more that I have been in thia business and I can account for every cent of it, every transaction. I have nothing to fear. y This is all a vile conspiracy, cooked up by big brokers and Wall street interests that ar jealous of me. I'll show them all be- fore I get through.” Flage’s “system” {s set forth to prospective customers by Alvin M. Higgins, his attorney, who represents himself also as a customer who has received most satisfactory returns from his investment. Following is the most recent exposition by Hig- gins of the Flagg method of beating the stock market: Flage’s Methods. ‘Flagg buys and sells only through brokers on the Stock Exchange, buy- ing 10 shares of ai tleading stock when it drops 1 point or more, and selling short 10 shares when it goes up 1 point or more, closing out either the purchase of the ‘short’ sale when a profit of 1 point or better is made. “The market price for standard stocks goes dowp about as often as it goes up, or rises about as often as it falls. As we buy on a scale down each share costs less than the pre- vious share bought. As we sell short on a scale up, each share sold short is sold at more than we pay for it later. For example, if one share is bought at 5, ome at 4 one at 8, one at 2 and one at 1, and sold at 8, and the share bought at 4 is sold at 5 we make $4 profit on the wdy up as well as make good the shrinkage, the temporary paper loss which occurred on the way down, “We pay no attention to rumors or tips. When others buy stocks in.10 or 1009. share lots just because stocks are going up, we sell short th 10 share lots that same stock, because we believe it will later on come-down. And when others get panicky and throw overboard stocks .in 500 or 1000 share lots, we buy little 10 share lots on the scale down. Then when the-reaction sets down we unload as carefully as we bought or went short. 4 Profits Paid in Cash, “Profits are paid in cash each week. We find it safe to take about 1 per cent each week, holding back any excess of that to support our open trades and strengthen our margin. “Each customer enters into a written order contract directing the operation of his account along the lines indicated, specifying the stocks to be bought and sold in accordance with the contract. No account is accepted for*less than $1000. “The recoris in the office of our agent show what we have done for nearly four years during times of panic

FACE TO FACE WITH THE F ACTS Any system of personal cleanliness is incomplete that does not include a sanitary hair-dressing. Don’t neglect the hair. Its proper care is far from being the-least. important part of the toilet. There is no portion ot the person more liable to accumulation of germs and dirt, yet the hair is most frequently neglected. People eonsider ——— es modelssu i Ledily neatness when they bathe regularly, clean their teeth diligently, de- vote hours to manicuring and industriously conserving their complexions while they. seldom or never pay any attention to the condition of ‘the hair and scalp. Besides being open to the charge of uncleanliness, these people are still more un- fortunate because by ‘their carelessness they are really aid- ing time in the destraghng of their beauty and youthful ap- pearance. . & Newbro’s Herpicide Adds a sense of refresh’ng cleanliness that * is extremely comforting. Thé conséiousness of having the hair and scalp sweet and clean brings a feeling of pleasing self-assuranee. HERPIOIDE is a real scalp prophylactic and its use produces one of the most apparent evidences of personal cleanliness, Besides keeping the hair and scalp in an absolutely clean and highly sanitary condition all the time, NEW BRO’S HERPICIDE eradicates the dandruff and prevents its accumulation by destroying the germ that causes it. It is also'an effectual check to falling hair. The delightful and exquisite odor of HERPICIDE without regard for its sanitary and hair-saving qualities, appeals to all persons of refing- ment and taste.

MISTAKES ACID FOR CAMPHOR AND BURNS HER GrilLD Mrs. Apple Rubs It on Boy’s Body for Cold, but He Is Expected to. Recover. Mistaking crude carbolic acid for camplor, Mrs. Esther Apple of 1418 Franklin avenue, applied some of it to the body of her baby, David, four months old, and the child was burned so seriously that he is under care of physicians at the Children’s Hos- pital, Jefferson avenue and Adams street. It Is believed by the doctors that the child will recover. Mrs. Apple ‘arose at five o'clock yesterday morning to treat David for a cold before going to the synagogue to keep the Jewish New Year. cabinet she found a bottle, which she handed to her husband, N. Apple, ask- ing him to read the label. Apple in bed sleepily looked at the label and told his wife the bottle contained camphor. With her hand Mrs. Apple appHed the liquid to the baby’s skin. She felt no pain, but the child began to scream. His cries awakened Anna Apple, 18 years old. Anna discovered her mother’s mis- take.

ST.LOUIS WOMEN CCE MODELS IN LATEST FASHIONS At the Golden Butterfly Tea Room Styles Are Dem- onstrated,

— — — The Golden Butterfly Tea Garden, a replica of the garden of the same name in Tokio, Japan, proved the one great attraction at the opening of the Stix, Baer & Fuller Dry Goods Co, last week. The tearoom proved a mecca for hundreds of women and men, who saw for the second time in St. Louis the display of costumes. from the etyle centers of Europe and America on living models. Seven models, brought here from New York, together with the Grand- Leader’s regular force of exhibitors, paraded the tea garden at regular in- tervals, while customers leisurely made selections, -The innovation— which was adopteg by the Stix, Baer & Fuller Dry Goods Co. last year— caught on immensely and became so popular toward the end of the week that ropes were stretched within the store to keep those interested in the display moving in the proper direc- tion. While acute interest focused at tne tea garden, the entire store proved a show and took on the appearance of an international exhibition, The show windows were a revelation to all who beheld them, the display of gorgeous raiment being accentuated by mural panels which formed the background and brought out the beauty of the things displayeg in a marvelous way. The paintings were by A. A. Feind, whose work is known in Europe and America, The paintings represented Progress, Industry, Fashion, Agrioul- ture, Commerce and other subjects. . Throughout the week most enthusi- astic expressions were heard on all sides from visitors, and employes were kept busy explaining the won- drous display. Much credit for the success of the opening was given to partment, and Miss Amy Nalkie. Cos- itumes shown were all their individual selections. This year a greater number of Stix, Baer & Fuller buyers went to Europe than in previous years, and a closer relationship between them and the foreign manufacturers has been es- tablished which will result beneficial- ly to the trade in the future. In anticipation of the crush which crowned last week’s efforts, the man- agement rearranged the frat floor with broader aisles and “improved showcasing and shelves, as well as improving lighting conditions, On Monday the “model home,” a six- room apartment furnished to show that exquisite taste is not a matter of dollars and cents entirely, will be opened for the admiration. of visitor’ BERNHARDT TO TRY GOLF

President Stays Until Final Play of 3-2 Struggle, With the Cardinals Victors

S BASEBALL the national game? not cast an eye on one William Taft President of these United States, as he sat watching the Cardinals-Quakers baseball game at League If you had, you would have observed the man who is supposed to be representative of all that is NATIONAL about us (in theory at least), beat a handclapping indorsement throughout nine intensely exciting innings of the great American sport. Park, Saturday afternoon. By way of lagniappe to his appre- ciation, the chief executive added a loug guffaw as Oakes cracked out the single which scored the winning run, Wilie, trotting for Bliss, tallying the concluding count. Score, St. Louis 3, Philadelphia 2. ‘ Well-crowded stands, the occupants of which had been lured to the park partly by the rivalry for fifth place between the Quakers and the Cardi- nals and partly by the announcement that President Taft would be on hang to witness the contest, cheered what was a contest well worth seeing, at least as to the closeness of the strug- gle. — Tragedy in Retrospect. There was an atmosphere of tense expectancy about the game, for previ- ous meetings between these teams have been fraught with incidents akin to tragedy, in a baseball sense, It was in games between these clubs that Titus and Dooin of the Quakers sustained broken legs, that Bresna- han of the Cardinals was cruelly spiked when Hans Lobert leaped feet foremost into the plate trying to score a run, that Sherwood Nottingham Ma- gee horrified baseball good taste by battering Umpire Finneran to the Cardinals Get Busy When Moore Succeeds Chalmers on the Slab A GAIN, in the second, a fumble gave the Cardinals a chance which they Evans got a The lit- ¢ould not improve. life and was forced by Hauser. _tle fellow stole second and went to third on Mowrey’s infield out.: Bliss walked, but Geyer was not up to the Dode Criss stunt. The second chance again vanished, In the meantime Philadelphia had been rather easy for Geyer, but the fielding behind him saved him on one or two occasions, especially when Oakes, in the fourth, made a beautiful catch of Magee’s driver to Fog center. Bliss Caught Nap But in the fifth it — that the Quakers were going to do something for their first divisioi followers. With Walsh down, Doolan walked, and the cub .receiver, Cotter, singled. ,Doolan pilfered third on Bliss, while the Card’s catcher was trying to pick Cotter off first. Chalmers struck out at this junc- ture; and then Philadelphia tried to force matters with a double steal. Cot- ter was caught, and the opportunity was lost. . In their half the Cardinals started to get busy, and it was with two down that they began the plays which re- sulted in the first tally of the game. | Elli Oakes walked and stole second, Cot- ter muffing the pitch. Chalmers was growing unsteady and walked Koney. Ellis bounded one over second and Walsh and Doolan tried to telescope each other flelding it.. Oakes scored on the play. Evans fouled out. It was not until the eighth inning that the fireworks began, and then the Quakers applied the fuse. With Cotter down, Beck was walked by Geyer. Titus and Lobert singled in succession and Beck scored, Titus nalting at third. “Magee’s long fly scored him, Lobert stole second and with the ball-murdering Luderus up, the Cardinal fans drew a heavy in- take of atmosphere, But Luderys, the mighty, lifted a fly to Evans, and the Phillies were but one to the good. Moore Is Easy. This was made all square in the Cardinals half. Moore went in to take Chalmers’ place. Moore has been an’ easy mark for Bresnahan’s men this season, and the move : appeared |

| IS it? Evidently ye who ask did g@roundg with a terrffic smash in the face, and it was following a series in the East against Philadelphia that theeCardinals went through the nerve- racking railroad wreck that cost them their poise and a higher place in the pennant race, Add to these recollections the feeling that on the present series hangs the oc- ceupancy of fifth place, and the note of suspense in the air during yesterday’s game can readily be seen. , But the tragedy was left out of the playing. In fact the game was almost funny, at times, for the team which lost appeared to be playing the: best ball, while Dame Fortune danced just out of the Quakers’ reach. Chalmers, who pitched splendidly against the Cardinals his last trip here, was in the points for the Quakers, and Geyer for the Cardinals. Chalmers had Koney and company swinging hard at wide balls and, for a time, it appeared that he ,would get away; with it, al- though the Cardinals were going after him in the very first round, Wit. one down Oakes got a lift when Walsh handled his roller badly. He stole sec- ond and all looked lovely, when Koney drew a pass. But Ellis crabbed the

chance by hitting into a double play. @ poor one on the part of Acting Manager Doolan. And so it proved. For, with Ellis down, Steve Evans singled to right. Clarke was put in to run-for him. But Hauser popped out. The speedy néwcomer, Clarke, stole second and the move proved a winner, for Mowrey’s single sent him home. Then Mowrey had to try a steal and get nipped for the third out, Philadelphia tried hard to take the lead again in the ninth. Two were down .when Doolan singled through Geyer. On the hit and run Cotter singled and Doolan chased to third. But Moore was unequal to the emer- gency and the ‘rally failed. The Cardinals put one through that won the game in the final half of the ninth. Bliss had doubled. Geyer sacrificed him to third, and Huggins walked. Bresnahan then sent in Wilie to run’ for Bliss. But the sprinter was not needed, for Oakes’ single scored him with the winning tally. Score: ST. LOUIS.

Russell’s name has been left off the list of players eligible to take part in the sertes which Manager Mack of the Athletics has sent to the National Commission. Although no officlal announcement Was ever made of the fact, it has been suspected all season that Rus- sell was under suspension for failure to get into condition, “Lefty” made a bad start with the club by trying to hold up Manager Mack for more money than he was offered, and he appears to have been ill-advised in his dealings with the club. Had Russell been in condition thig year and taken his regular turn on the rubber he would have drawn down from $2000 to $3000 out of the world’s geries. Dae ee ee CRARLUE “WI¢TOR” FAUST W. wha

Comedian Still Bobs Up Dodged, Side-Stepped, Left Behind, the Marion (Kan.) to Tell the Giants How to Play the National Game.

Friseo to find Lulu. so, maybe, To yours truly the gentleman Marion (Kansas) drawl. Of course, fellow fans, you have doubtless observed the grotesque vaude- ville stunts that were pulled by Mr. Faust dally as he cavorted on the dila- mond here with the New York Giants, giving correct, life-like impersonations of Christy Mathewson, Ty Cokb, Honus Wagner and other great stars of the diamond, and doubtless you have laughed heartily. Everyone does who has seen the gentleman sliding bases. But aside from being the greatest clown in baseball (and, by the way, our hero takes himself seriously), Charles ‘“Wictor” has a “purpose” in life; or, rather, two or three purposes. Teo be- come a great baliplayer, to marry Lulu and to stop only at hotels that fur- nish apple pie are three things from which Charlie will not be sidetracked. But, to begin in the front of this story: FORTUNE TELLER TIPPED CHARLIE TO HIS TALENT. ~ BOUT six months ago, away out in A the corn belt of Kansas, a young man was busily engaged in tilling the soil, or killing potato bugs, I don’t remember which. At any rate, he was associated with others in agricultural pursuits. Now, whether Charlie was called from the plow, a la Cincinnatus, or. not, the “dope” sayeth. little At any rate, he was “called”—and called good and plen- ty. Dropping the plow handle and giv- ing the old gray hoss a kick on the shins, Charley hied himself straight for Wichita and a fortune teller. And, believe me, Chas. ia husky for that clairvoyant stuff. Firmly convinced is he of her prophecy that he would join the Giants and would help win the pennant for McGraw must, as he puts it, *“‘come to pass.” At first Manager J. McGraw enjoyed the joke immensely, when Charlie pre- sented himself here in St. Louis, armed with his fortune-telling credentials, and he smilingly consigned him to the ward- robe-keeper of the Giants, who rigged out our six-foot-two-inch recruit in a costume that would have cramped Wil- lie Keeler when he was a boy. And everybody laughed. It was great sport, and the boys from the “Great White Way” fell for the fun in bunches. All sorts of tricks were. played on Charles, such as telling him to ley his arm in the sleeper hammock at night, that that was the way Christy Mathew- son and other great pitchers did; or little things lke filling his grip with pig iron and telling him, as he stag- gered under it, that it wasn’t heavy, but that his arm was weakened from riding in a Pullman all day. To see him car- ry the load to the depot kept the boys in good humor all the trip. On the ball field they've had their

well, you know Charlie, don’t youf Charlie ‘‘Wictor’’ Faust? told me, was spelled with a ‘‘Wee’’ (V), like Sam Weller spelled his surname. But I forgot te tell you who Charlie is and why. OW: I helped New York win the pennant, and now I’m going to ‘‘The lady fortune teller told me both would come to pass, I’ll get married this winter.’’ spoke quietly, but firmly, in his Charlie also spoke with great feeling. Charlie— Wictor, he third. But the third baseman never seems to hold the ball. When Charlie pulls the squeeze play, the throw home to catch him is always wild. Great sport, and the boys have long since forgotten ‘“‘Bugs’’ Raymo: ” MR. FAUST HAS IT ON THE “COME-BACR”’ CAT. UT after awhile, MeGraw tried to K shake Charlie. When the players gathered at Union ‘tation to de- part for Chicago, Charley came running up to McGraw and asked for his con- tract and railroad ticket. “Oh, didn’t you get them?” said Mack. “Why I left them at the hotel for you.” This was 10 minutes before train time and Charlie hiked back to the hotel and as the train pulled out Mack and the boys had a good laugh. But in Boston, -when they went up to register at the hotel, who.was there to bid them welcome? Why, Charlie Faust, of course! Because Charhe is the “‘come-back kid.”” After trying the shaking business two or three times, McGraw gave it up and now the New York club pays for Chariie’s “eats:” and they do say that he can smother a planked steak in three bites—in fact, can go the whole route from soup to nuts without show- ing the least fatigue. The club also pays his railroad fare and other incidental expenses. So far, Charlie has not signed a gen- uine contract from. McGraw, although he has signed a great many others with fancy red xt etc., furnished by his

brother ballplayers. But we are of the impression that he will not have to sign one. In fact, we think it would be hard to pull Charlie loose from the Giants at the present writing. Why? Because Charlie has the hoodoo sign on the other members. He is the mascot. He has thd@ir goat strong, and they are now as superstitious as he is, and dislike to play when Faust is not on the bench. The reason, plain- ly, is that, with one exception, here in St. Loufs, they have never lost a game while Charlie was on the bench. And then Dame Rumor hag it that McGraw has a weakness for comedians, as it tends to keep the club in good humor. Thus doth Charlie tarry with “Gi'nts.”’ Put maybe Charlie is not cognizant of the side show stuff he is pulling—and then, again, maybe he is. He's as big a mystery as our friend George Kimmel. “Did you ever play in the minors, Charlie?” I asked: “No.” “Then where did you learn to play ball?” “Oh, I played a liddle tn Wichita, and the | books.” then, besides, I bought a couple of “Books?” I chirped. “Yes; Spalding’s Guide and Reach’s book, too.” HE’S BATTING .800 NOW IN THE TIPPING CLASS. ITH the above answer Chariie W slipped me the smile which you see depicted in the drawing above. “How do you find it League?” “Oh! Id taigs more hade work,” said Charlie, as he passed that smile around again. “Then you have absolute confidence in the fortune teller, have you, Charle?’’ Mes.“ And after a pause and some more smile, “It must come to pass.” “How about finding Lulu? What's her last name?’ ‘I don’t know, bud I'll find her and may be ve'll ged married dis vinter.” All the while Chariie is there with that awful semi-toothless smile. ‘Tell me—how did you help McGraw win the pennant? You were not in a in the big

game?” It Was a Fortune Teller Who Jackson COBB STILL IS — — ——

BENDER PLEASED WITH FOOTBALL TEAM S SHOWING Louis U., Without. Practice, Runs Over Shurtleff Col- lege Men. St. FINAL SCORE WAS 1i—o Substitutions Keep Eleven From Running Up Tally on the Ministers.

Magner May Join -Bender’s Football Hopefuls Monday e ‘SOHN MAGNER, probably as J good a halfback as St. Louis ever developed, is expected out for practice at the St. Louis U. campus Monday afternoon. Magner returned to St. Louls from his summer trip Saturday and was present at the Shurtleff football game at the campus, “I may matriculate at school Monday, but it’s not positively settled. I think I will attend the local school, however. I would like to complete my education a’ near my home as possible.” Coach Bender was asked as to the possibility of Magner enter- ing school. I understand he expects to do so Monday. If so, he likes foot-

ball too well to stay out of fhe game. I hope he comes—he's @ great card, from what I hear.”

After watching his St. Louis Univer- sity regulars and scrubs, sans scrim- mage practice and sans condition, play Shurtleff college’s veteran football eleven to a standstill at the cellege cam- pua Saturday afternoon, winning by @ 11-0 score, Coach John Bend-r remarked: “Well, the makings are there, any- how.’’ Questioned further about the team’s display of football ability, he said: A guess it doesn’t mean much to you, These boys have had Uttle signal practice and virtually no scrimmage. I have “not even had eleven men lined up as a regular team, so far. All are out of condition, “When that sort of an outfit shows ability to run over a veteran bunch like the Shurtleff aggregation, which is reported to have had at least two weeks of preparation, it means there is a good chance for the eleven to de- ¢ viop, “I am entirely satisfied with the show- “Ing of the team.” President Taft in a Hurry.

SCIENCE. T is quite possible for lovers of bos: ing to get a run for their money without being treated to a slaugl:- ter house episode. Witness the bout between Abie Attell and Matt Wells of Great Britain last week. Here was a match that seemed unequal. Wells, a heavy lightweight, was opposed to a boy who is a featherweight in a strict sense—122 pounds. Yet such was the skill of both men that there was n.* a drop of gore spilled through the con- test; and the spectators, to a man, io- clared it a great shew. * a e NO CHANCE ON COAST. HIS, however, was possible only in T the East, where they have been treated to the logical sparring bout—short, fast and scientific, and where enthusiasts have been educated to look for skill. In the Middle West, where the game has been dead for a long time, and on the coast, where a contest Is not worth while unless it goes to an exhaustion point or to a finish, they want other stuff. Men of the mar- Velous skill of Attell are secondary at- tractions there. For a Iqng- time this same Abraham, then the greatest little man in the world, was no card at all compared to the bruiser Frankie Neil and that stripe, even in his owt? Golden Gate commonwealth.

HOKE SMITH ENTERS GLIDDEN TOUR Gev. Hoke Smith of Georgia has made entry ef a %-horsepower Maxwell car in the Glidden Tour to be held in October and will ride over every foot of the 1369 mues from New York %o Jacksonville, Fla. Mr. Smith will be the first Gov- ernor or public éfficial to participate in an automobile contest and he will un- doubtedly be the most distinguished en- trant in the tour. He will invite the Governor ef each state through which the teur passes to be his guest en the trip, riding from one state boundary te the other. With ten Eastern ané Southern states in the territory to be traversed and several ef the governors practically certain of ac- cepting the invitatien, the Glidden Tour takes on a new and mere important character. Gov. Smith's Maxwell will be the fourth car of that make to cempete in the tour, a team of three cars having been nominated by the United States Motor Co. The car was tendered te the Governer by Benjamin Briscoe, presi- dent of the United States Motor Co., through Maj. John 8S. Cohen of the At- lenta Journal, who has always been a conspicuous advocate ef good roads. A. L. Westgard, using a landers ‘oy? as a pathfinder, made the run from New York to Jacksonville in 10 days. The distance to Jacksonville preved to be 130 miles greater than was at first figured by the contest board. This must be distributed through the dally runs or the entire tour. The actual reading of the speedometer when the little Flanders “20 reached the city was 1496 miles. Mr. Westgard states that six miles of this should be deducted for side trips in some of the cities and towns. The variation in distance, ho ever, will make no material change in the plans fer the teur. — —— — NATIONAL WAS SPEEDY Few motor car manufacturers have so consistently supported the automo- bile racing game as the National Motor Vehicle Co., and fewer still can claim the number of places won in competition. . Since January 1, up to date, the National has won 70 firsts, 42 seconds and 89 thirds, a total of 141 places. These victories were won in contests of every kind, on hill, speedway, beach and roed. ‘AB CONCERNS IN PURCHASING COMBINE A purchasing power amounting to many millions of dollars annually was pooled last week by the fermation of the International Motor Service Associ- ation in New York City. Charlies Cc. James, a ploneéer in the taxicab industry in this country, who is the founder of the association, said that the primary purpose ef the company will be to con- centrate the purchase of S¥Pplies by all the taxicab, touring car, parcel delivery, motor truck and motor public service companies in America. These purchases exceed $12,000,000 annually. ⸗ Approximately five hundred firms throughout tpe United States, including many of the most prominent motor service companies in New York City, have banded together and it is not un- likely that the scope of the association will be extended to include companies of the same character in Europe. Mr. James was formerly president of the St. Louis Taxicab Co., vice-presi- dent of the Chattanooga Taxicab Co., founder of the Little Rock Taxicab Co., vice-president of the Joneg Taximeter Co. of the Southwest, and general man- ager of the taxicab division of the United States Motor Co.

—— eye tr Ee. , — 7 > s rt S STORY IS FOR THOS WHO TAKE AN INTEREST IN FINE MOTOR CARS — N wient of unusual interest has — happened A in St. Louis Motor Car History Three months ago, I was pokite for the | of a medium-priced automobile Then the Indiana Four- State Tour came to St. Louis. [ae AO ee ee were here. One machine in the lot struck my fancy be- cause of the immense value given for the price.. Before. closing the agency for this car, however, I visited fac- tories making medium-priced cars throughout the country to see if it was possible to find a better value car, Finally;I decided that I could find nothing in the automobile line that could compare with the * in value for the price, so I went to Anderson, Ind., and ordered 100 cars of the thake for the people of this vicinity. The Nyberg ‘‘35,”’ one-of the cars in the line, sells for $1250. This car has a Rutenber, 41% by BY, motor, 116 inch wheel base, 34 by 314 wheels, multiple disc clutch, dual ignition system, Warner Transmission and Gears, and Hess Axles, Springs and Bearings. Where else can you get such value forthe money, or such value for even $500 more? There are other Nybergs, a ‘‘45’’ with 127-inch wheel base, that sells for $1650, and a “35 —— wagon for $1250. I have a “35”’ here. Call me up or write me for the most convincing ride in.a medium-priced car you have ever had. It will make you certain of Nyberg values, that they are greater per dollar than —* of any other auto on the mar- ket. I don’t care what car you compare with the Nyberg I want agents in Illinois and Missouri in —— near St. Louis, so you dealers in the small cities who want to make some money, write me sure.

Statistics prove tliat in 25 per cent of all ruptured eases, the father or mother had been eon lu rly afflicted.

In children, severe crying or a coughing spell may, by its intra-abdominal pres- force the bowels sufficiently finally to break through. SYMPTOMS. Ameng the chief symptoms of this piflictio., we may mention PAIN, al- ough in some cases, this is entirely it.

| practice of medicine and surgery have discarded this practice to a great ex- tent, and taken up one from which operative procedure and the use rch the knife has been eliminated. This Method, gentlemen, first practiced by Dr. George Heaton of Boston in 1840, consists, then, briefly, in applying such remedies direct to the ruptured parts as will, by virtue of their chemical ac- tion upon the tissues affected, and by the lymph thrown out, produce new tissue, mending, so to speak, the torn parts, filling in the , and creating thereby a new, health , solid tissue, holding the bowels with their diverse coverings in their proper position. This Method, gentlemen, has been advocated and practiced in European | as well as American Hospitals, as stated before, for more than twenty ears. All these of the medical pro- fession who have carefully investigat- ed this method have become firm. be- lievers in it. Thomas H. Manly, Ph. D., M. D.., Professor of Surgery of the N. Y. School of Clinical Medicine, speaking on the subject of this treatment, says: ‘*This simple method has much to commend it. There is no division of the tissues; no loss of blood; no need for an anaesthetic; no confinement in bed. A suitable truss must be worn during the treatment until the adhes- ive processes are completed, and there is no tendency to relapse,’’ ‘*My experience with this treatment is such as to warrant my recommend- ing it, before resorting to’a more for- micable operation. It mav be em- ployed at any age from infancy on.’’ Reports of many other investigators could be cited. We shall only mention authorities like Prof. Henry O’Marcy of Boston, and the Clini¢al reports of the Surgeon of the Maine Hospital, who says: ‘*T have personally had some experi- ence with this treatment. When in the Maine Hospital service, I had a number of cases treated by this meth- od. In these cases we employed only one injection, applied a compress and bandage, and kept the patient in bed for three weeks. . ‘ ‘The present method of employing the injection treatment is a decided improvement upon the old procedure. The patient is given an injection, the truss is applied and the man sent about his work. At the end of a week he is given a second injection, and this is repeated until a cure is ef- fected. | . ‘*T have seen a great number of cases so cured. There can be no doubt of the value of this treatment. Dan- ger, there is none, if employed by in- telligent hands. The treatment gives the patient little inconvenience and is producing a large percentage of cures. This treatment requires time, patience 4 careful study and skill, and should be regarded as a STANDARD proced- ure.’’ Gentlemen, you may ask ‘‘ Why then i: this method not practiced by all those who devote their -time to the treatment. of Rupture?’’ The answer is easily found—Two very important factors are essential to the success of this practice: firstly, a competent knowledge of the anatomy of Rupture, and extreme skill in applying the med- icine to the ruptured parts; and sec- ondly, a chentical compound which wil) reunite the rended tissues. Many compounds have been employed—some of fair, others of indifferent benefit in their action. No wonder then that some surgeons have discarded this method, pronouncing.it a failure, they ascribing their ill succéss to the Meth. od, instead of, as they should, to their lack of ability in applying the remedy and te their failure to procure the nec- essary chemical compound. In advo- cating and teaching you this injection method, I stand before you, prepare to show, by clirical results, that this method is not only to be preferred to the doubtful surgical procedure, but. that it is ideal. ter many years of experimenting, I have not only found a chemical composition which wl! unite the tissues and hold them united. but will demonstrate to you, my ‘met> od of application which differs so ma- terially from all others previously practiced, as to be called the Lewin Method. With this compound and the correct application, we may practically pronounce & cure as always certain. As the hour is about drawing to a close, we will take up the method of application of this treatment, as well as the description of the medicines used to produce these results, at our next lecture, and will conclude this morning’s lesson, admonishing you to try to prépare yourselves in’ such a manner by the study of the ana- tomical condition of Hernia, and the application of this method, so that you can discard the operative procedure in the cure of Hernia, and dismiss the idea of usin

FOLLOW OLD SUPERSTITION

Of Party of Twenty Who Got Beyond Their Depth Only Two Are Saved. _.STEBDPNBURGEN, Hungary, Sept. 2. throughout this River while following the ancient folk- lore superstitition that any female who bathes in that river on Sept. 28 will be married within a year. It was a happy, hopeful party of 2 young women who left their home early this morning to defy the treacherous currents Of the river and insure the ful- fillment of their love affairs and their future happiness, which to a Hungarian girl means much, as the spinster has no recognized place in society. The gayety of the party increased after they had entered the water and their enjoyment partook of the charac- ter of a merry-making at their wed- dings—for they regarded the nuptials as sure to come. It was in this merry-making that the young women forgot their caution and followed a daring leader into the river bed farther than any had ventured, and before the shouted warning of expe- rienced swimmers on shore warned them, 18 of the party had plunged into deep water and were swept downstream by the swift current. Work of rescuers soon establisned that only two had escaped. ROCK HILL SCHOOL BOND ISSUE DEFEATED Another Election Called to Vote on $20,000 and Change to a Village District.

The proposed bond issue of $12,000 |- for the Rock Hill school district, St. Louis County, was defeated yesterday by a vote of 165 to 37. Since the schoolhouse was burned the first day of the school year there has been a movement toward creat- ing a village district instead of a common school district. The village district would admit of as many school# as are needed being built, while the common school district lim- its the school officers to the erec- tion of one. school building. As the district now exists some pupils live three miles from the school. J. J. McCloskey is chairman of a committee appointed to sound the sentiment of taxpayers and _ school patrons. Another petition has been circulated and another election called for two weeks from Tuesday. At that time voters will ballot on a $20,- 000 bond issue and a change to tha village district. From insurance on the burned building $10,000 ig’ on hand and this with a $20,000 bond issue would enable the district to build three schoolheuses instead of one. , INRUSH OF PUPILS RAISES SCHOOL COST Boarding ‘Schools Not Only In- crease, but Tuition Is Sharp- ly Advanced. NEW YORK, Sept. 23—The schools of the country are opening this nionth and next to an increased attendance which shows that the American thirst for education has kept ahead of the growth in population. This was said

today by a manager of the largest teach- ers’ agency in the country. The last schoo] census showed 20,000,- (00 pupils enrolled in the various institu- tions of the country. While no figures for the present year are obtainable, it is estimeted that ¢«Oommon schools alone}. have at least 18,000,000 pupils. At the teachers’ agencies here it is said that the demand for more and better teach- ers ig. accompanied by increases in the cost of tuition. This is especially true of the private schools, especially the boarding schools. “Two or three’*years ago,’ said one’ teachers’. agency manager, “a boy could be sent to a very good boarding school for $500 or $600 a year. Now the aver- age at such institutions is $700 or $800. The private boarding school business

I. 1S A LIFB-SIZE ONE Picture by Carl Melchers Shows Former President jn Hunt- ing Costume. The annual fall exhibition of ‘Amer- ican paintings is now open at the City Art Museum, in Forest Park. Many notable artists are represented. Some rof the canvases come from the artists’ studios, others from prominent Amer- ican collectors. In all there are about 150 in this exhibition, and four galleries are oc- cupied, Nos. 18 and 18, 80 and 31, in the west wing. Roosevelt's Portrait There. One of the notable paintings in this collection is the portrait of President Theodore Roosevelt by Carl Melchers, one of the mest-talked-of of recent American works of portraiture. The figure of Mr, Roosevelt is standing, in hunting costume, in vigorous poise. Though Melchers has done most of | his-work abroad, especially in France and Holland, he insists strongly upon his position as an American artist. Melchers has another life-sized painting, of his wife, in Dutch cos- tume and setting, a vigorously paint- ed and’ brilliant Colored werk. John W. Alexander is represented by one of the best of his figure pieces, hgautiful in color. Regarded as Masterpiece. A painting by Childe Hassam, the American impressionist, is regarded by many as his masterpiece. It took two prizes this year, the third Clark prize and the Corcoran bronze medal The title is “Springtime,” and the painting shows an outdoor scene in @ park, with children and other figures. Other paintings represented include Horatio Walker, Winslow Homer, D. W. Tryon, Cecelia Beaux, Mary Cas- satt, C. M. Chase, William Ritschel and Charles H. Woodbury. Several St. Louis artists are repre- sented, including Dawson-Watson, Edmund H. Wuerpel, Gustave Wolff, Fred G. Carpenter, Fred Gray, Oscar E. Berninghaus, Gustav. Waldeck and Mrs, Samantha L. Huntley. Another special exhibition ef inter- est to St. Louisans and everyone who likes. American art, is a joint collec- tion’ of paintings and sculpture by Frederick Oakes Sylvester and Rob- ert P. Bringhurst of this city. Sy!- vester shows nearly 100 pictures, many of them large and all showing the Missfssippi River and its shores and skies under varying conditions.

PINELSSSIR Tc DROWNS UNDER ASSUMED NAME For Years She Was Known as Miss Palmer and Friends Thought Her Dead. VAIN ATTEMPT AT RESCUE Woman While She Is in the Surf. Copyright, 1911, Press ——— (New York World.) — LONDON, Sept. 23.—It was Cather- ine Anna Parnell, sister of the late Charies Stuart Parnell, the famous Irish Nationalist, who was drowned Wednesday while bathing at [Iifra- combe, a noted Devonshire watering place. “The most brilliant member of the family,” all Parnell called her, had assumed the name Catherine Anna Pa)- mer and had effaced herself for so many years that even those who had been her friends thought she was dead. Hid Her Identity. The Coroner's inquest revealed the | -ontrasts in her life and that she was the victim of the pastime ad ex- ercise of which she had been fondest. She bathed even when the sea was very rough, and always remained’ in the water an extraordinary long time. Before she: entered the water Wednesday a bathing attendant warned Miss Parnell not to go out far, for it was dangerous, as a heavy sea was running. Some time afterward the attendant saw Miss Parnell drifting far out. He went out to his armpits with a pole and line and threw the line to her, but she made no move.to seize it. Then, others helping, he launched a rowboat and brought in the bedy, which had been floating face up. Artificial respiration was performed vainly for more than an hour. The unfortunate woman had been seized with cramps, it is believed. Miss Anna Parnell resembled her brother, the latter, in looks and tem- perament. She was handsome, a great speaker, extremely reserved: and quite eccentric. In 1898 she threatened to sue the Sat- urday Review for alleging, in a notice of Barry O’Brien’s “Life of Parnell,” that theré was a hereditary taint ef in- sanity in her family. When the Land League was suppressed Miss Anna Parnell formed the Ladies’ Land League and showed wonderful ability as its president. She caused a sensation by a series of articles she wrote fer William O’Brien’s paper, “The Irish People,” attacking her brother because, as she charged. he was not extreme enough and con- stantly made mistakes. By a ceincidence, the Parnell monu- ment will be unveiled in Dubin today. John Redmond, the present Irish Nation- alist leader, will preside.

Last Monday morning Earl Ward, 15 years old, who lives half a mile from the Bradrick home, saw three men dressing some chickens in @ rude camp near a creek on his farm. He thought the fowls were turkeys. He went to the Bradrick home and asked Melvin Bradrick if he had missed any of his turkeys. He then told him of the men he had seen.

Melvin Bradrick took his shotgun. Robert put an automatic revolver in his pocket. Ward went home and got his shotgun and met the men near the camp on the creek. Charles Bradrick, a cousin, was unarmed. When the four men reached the camp Melvin Bradrick turned over a paper on the ground and. uncovered three chickens. Two men sat on a log, and another was 60 feet\away. “Where did you get those chickens?’ asked Melvin Bradrick. “Over there,” one answered. ‘‘Has the other fellow got any more’ Bradrick asked as he started towards the thir@® man.

House Wren, Robin, Catbird. and Oriole are Prominent Among the Feather- ed Aids to Park, Garden and Farm, Says St. Louis Naturalist HE protection of vegeta- tion from the ravages of insects is one of the greatest problems with which the modern orchardist and agricul- turalist have to deal. On its solution depend alike the beautiful parks and driveways of our cities, and the pro- ductive gardens, or- chards and farms of our rural districts. Among the natural forces which work for mankind in this direction, the greatest are our insect-eating birds. Their keen eyes, swift wings and lance-like beaks make constant war upon the useless parasites which devastate vegetation. Given proper protection, they would effectively combat the common enemy with almost no direct assistance from man. How we may distinguish the insect-eating birds from those of less worth to us is told here for the Post-Dispatcn readers by Gustav Pauls, a St, Louis naturalist who lives among the birds and studies their habits. He lives in a big house on the South Broadway bluffs, overlooking the. Mississippi River and shaded by a forest of grand old trees. Walking through that greve and through his well-kept garden; he described to a representative of the Sunday Magazine the birds that work for us. “Here,” he said, stopping beside a little shrub that seemed to be dying, “is an arbor vitae from which ' picked more than a gallon of bag- worms. This pest gets its name from the fact that it sews or weaves a bag about itself. It is one of the worst enemies of our trees. Two Sorts of Insects That Defoliate Trees. i COVERS the bag with bits of twigs, foliage and the bark of the tree it feeds upon and the bag so nearly assumes the color of the plant that only the sharpest eye can detect its presence. The male bag-worm dies in the fall. The female lives and produces a mass of eggs, which become caterpillars that defoliate the tree. The leaves of a tree are its lungs, and when stripped of its breathing apparatus it sickens and dies. “Birds are natural enemies of this parasite, and it also is warred upon by the chelsea fly. The best way to destroy it, however, is to pick the bags off the trees. Burning the nests will Ki the millions of eggs and thus prevent trouble. ““Pefore we talk about the birds, I want to tell you something about caterpillars. One of the worst is the tent caterpillar, so called because of its manner of building a great web of silk in which thousands of the parasites live. “There are two kinds of tent caterpillars, the spring and the fall varieties. Either kind will defoliate a tree in short order if left undisturbed. The parasites move about, gradually enlarging " thatr nests and ay ravenously eating the leaves of the trees. They attack a large variety of trees, but are especially fond of apple, pear and osage orange. “The bag-worm and the tent caterpil- lar are the most injurious insect with which we have to deal in this section. The canker worm is destructive, especial- ly to fruit trees, and there are many other ‘8 ¢ - pests. None of them, however, are as bad as the caterpillars. We hear a great deal about the seventeen-year locust, which was sipposed to visit us this vear. Yet I have not seen more than two or three locusts this summer. The reason is th&t civilization drives them out, just as it did the Indian and the buffalo. Birds That Should Be Protected From Cats. | 66 OW, in destroying insect pests we are N assisted by al] our native birds, al- though some of them are more valu- able than others. The English sparrow was brought to this country to’ destroy destructive insects, but we found out too late that he is ‘purely a vegetarian, living wholly on seeds and other vegetable foods. We could forgive him for that, however, if he would mend his ways and not persist in being a nuisance. He is so dis- agreeable, pugnacious and quarrelsome, that he drives away many of our own useful and beau- tiful birds. Given half a chance, he will steal a.wren’s nest and drive out the tiny birds that are among the best insect eaters in this country. “Perhaps our greatest ally in protecting our trees against the onslaught of the caterpillars and other worms is the Yellow-Billed Cuckoo, often called the rain crow, because of its habit of calling loudly in damp or cloudy weather. It is the only cuckoo in this section, and is one of our handsomest birds. “It has a graceful, long, slender body, and a rapid, noiseless flight. Its beak is long, powerfu! and yellow. Its wings are bright cinnamon; th: tail feathers are long, the middle one of olive color and the outer quills black. When the bird is in filght there are four white circles on the underside of his tail. This bird will fly throug! the thorny osage orange without making thi faintest svund. “The yellow bill cuckoo is one of the few birds that will eat the hairy caterpillar—such as the destructive tentworm. It seems to have an in. tense hatred for this particular caterpillar, fo: it destroys many more than it can eat, by tear ing the web apart and squeezing the worm in if beak. The yellow bil] is not a shirker. He do: his work thoroughly. He is invaluable to th horticulturist. — “Audubon gives this cuckoo a bad character. He says that he robs smaller birds of their eggs. Perhaps he does, but even so he is the patron bird of the orchard and of our lawns and parks, and aids mankind the most. His good deeds “Extra” Sunshine Aids English Strikes NE interesting possible explanation of the recent epidemic of industrial troubles and * strikes in England is offered by the Lan- cet. If what this dignified medical journal says is true, the serious development of the strikes was due to too much sunshine. The British Islés have been getting more than their average share of heat and sunshine this summe. and the over- dose of labor troubles has been equally as large. “It is an interesting coincident,” says the Lan- cet, “that labor troubles of -o mean magnitude have broken out during an unwonted spel] of sunshine. Of course, we are not regarding the strikes as caused by the heat, as the reason for the prevailing unrest has, for many of them, been obvious for many months. But it is not at all improbable that the heat has played its part in the form which the matifestations have tak- en. Let us remember that: the failure of the white races to colonize certain tropical tracts has been attributed to the excess of light which there prevails, and not to the heat or humidity. The - white man in the tropics gradually becomes dis- inclined to work under the influence of the actinic agencies of the sun; he grows neuras- thenic and finally breaks down. “The widespread discontent of the laboring classes reached an acute stage during a period of excessive and -intense light which promises to break al} existing records. Have the forces of the potent sun, consequent upon a long period of chemically active sunshine, altered the energies of the body and mind of the worker, as in the case of the would-be colonizer in the unsuitable tropics? In so admittedly bad state of affairs, has an overdose of sun proved a poison? In oth- er words, should sunshine, like so many egnod \ Excessive Light Causes Discontent. things, be doled out on patholog'cal lines, lest it poison the individual? When the dark days of winter: come we.shal] yearn again for some of this “poison,” knowing, however, full well that then the doses, even when continuous, are less potent; but it is quite possible that the instinct is a sound one which makes many of us, inhabi- tints of what should be a temperate zone, almost resent unbroken heat.”- — eee —L ik 7 a : Hii — — ——— ——— J il — — ;. — — BAG - - WORM. ovérshadcw his shortcomings. are good parents. They teaclL thei: young to destroy the enemies of our trees. They come tc us early and remain late. While their song is not melodious or even tuneful, they are bene- ficient to man. They a.e ever on the lookout for the hateq tentworm. ‘“‘Ghen there are the Brown Thrashers, the most exultant and dashing of our song birds. They build and breed here, frequently rearing two.broods a season. They build in shrubbery or thickly leaved trees. Their nest is a bold structure of bark, grasses, twigs and rootlets. Their young play like young fox squirrels. I lie in my hammock and watch them, for they »re very amusing and become quite tame, perching upon the end of the hammock and looking at me with questioning eyes. “It is impossible to estimate the value of the brown thrasher as an insect destroyer, as he is constantly on the hunt for them. It is impos- sible to mistake this bird from his habit of twitching and thrashing his long tail as he feeds, and his bold swinging flight are unmistak- able marks of identification. A rusty brown cévers his entire back, growing darker on his wings; beneath yellowish white with brown ar- row-shaped spots on his breast, the wings have two white bands. “As a songster he is unequaled. He arrives in April _and for a week or so he pours forth an ecstacy of uninterrupted song. Then he set- tles down to preparing his home. In the morn- ing he sings his hymn from the shrubbery, but later in the day he perches on the topmost twig of a tree, and with swelling breast and drooping tail he sings as if mad with melody. He never sings near his nest. “The cheery little House Wren is one of our greatest ‘insect-destroying birds. She is contin- ously hunting over the ground like a mouse, singing all the time.

Her son told her they were around Howling Crane’s neck un- der the suit. The strong, handsome, silont face lay framed in his shining black locks braided with a piece of beautiful soft otter skin, one of Howling Crane’s own trapping, and beaded bands bound the ends of the long hair. His turquois- beaded moccasins were works of art, made by his daughter. The elder wife then turned-to place in the cas- ket the articles she had brought, but her son had slipped the rattle away and concealed it in his coat. She made no complaint, but placed the’ cup and sticks near her dead chief's hands. Her lord and master was faring forth on a long journey, and she would not be there to attend -to his wants. Perhaps he would be journeying across broad deserts and would be athirst, therefore she placed the cup close to his hand that he might have drink. In the wild, vast regions his spirit would have tc traverse before it would reach the happy hunt- ing grounds he would be sure to meet countless enemies—the spirits of his old, unforgiving foes, strange and frightful beasts and birds that ate the souls of men, and unimaginable threatening forms that would strive to block his way.

[It is true that he will do us harm during the breed- ing time if he is short of food, but one cannot blame him for that, He frankly and merrily tells us that he is fond of ‘cherry-cherry-cherry.’ What if he does help himself to the ripest cheek of his favorite fruit? Who would want to do without him? Spring would be less gladsome without his cheery song. “The catbigd loves grapés, but he does us a great deal of good. During the breeding season he feeds largely upon insects, and particularly upon many of the injurious kinds than in the moth stage, seizing them adroitly in the air and when near the ground.

He was led to the casket and, after giving away to intense grief, he stepped back from under the canopy, raised his eyes to the sun and, with most graceful, expressive gestures, he seemed to ad- dress his dead nephew. He was Old Big Baby, more than 86 years of age. He said in the Chey- enne tongue::“You have lived a useful life. You have raised good children and been a kind, good father. We say good-by and know that you go to a happy home for a long rest. Good-by.” Ev- ery Indian head was bowed, and his drapery drawn over his face. Then came the mother from her tepee, oid Elk- Woman, more than 90 years old. She stood at her dead son’s head, moaning and fondling h‘'m much as a woman would her baby. She spoke endearing words, she kissed hia hands and she wailed out-in her anguish. Then her old sisters, none less than 75 years old, Little Woman and Skunk-Faced Woman, joined her, and all the squaws of his blood circled around the casket and gave away to deepest grief; while the men stood back with streaming eyes and bowed heads. The funeral service was preached when the sun was in the zenith. Shortly before Howling Crane’s white friends had come out from town with the minister, who announced that the serv- ice would begin. Chief Old Crow passed the word in the Cheyenne language down among the tepees, and the Indians came troopimg forth, draped in their white sheets, and squatted in a half circle about the tepee containing the cas\et. The white friends stood outside the canopy. The minister told the story of the brave Howl- ing Crane’s 67 years, of his five wives, two of whom were living, and his 20 children, 12 of whom were waiting for him in the Great Beyond.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Sept. 18. IKE Byron’s Manfred conjuring the secrets of life from the Spirits of the Alps, puny but scientific man has tak- en his stand upon the summit of Pike's Peak, the majestic sentinel of the Rockies, Ap order to elicit from the elements some pro- founder understanding of his most destructive scourge — tuberculosis, er the white plague. Consumption, causing one out of every ten deaths, slays 1,000,00) of the human race annually, of whom 100,000 die in the United States. It is well known that cases of tuberculosis are bene- tited by a transfer to regions of higher altitude. It was supposed that this amelioration was due mostly to the greater infrequency of disease germs upon the heights. The “Internationa) Labora- _tory,” which was conducted this summer upon _Pike’s Peak, has established another factor of ‘equal importaace—the organic change in the com- _ Position ef the blood which is wrought by at- i pherie conditions upon the mountain tops. ummer Spent Above Clouds Solving Respiratory Problems. HH “International Laboratory,” so called because Bagland and America were both represented, was composed ef Dr. John 4 Haldane and Dr. ©. Gordes Douglas, Fel- Tows of the Royal Society of Lendon and mem- ‘bers of. ie Oxford University Faculty; Dr. Yandel { ¢ ferson of Yale University and Dr. ~ B.C. 8e sider of Colorade College. Miss Mabel | Fitzgerald of New York Clty was their associate, but made her observations upen the lower levels of Colorado Springs, Leadville, Cripple Creek and other cities. The men ef the expedition spent practically the entire summer upon the ‘ mountain, literally above the clouds, and more than two and one-half miles above sea level. The scientists not only tried bleed experi- ' ments on themselves at the summit of Pike’s Peak, but had ample bases of comparison, owing | to their experiments at varying levels before tak- '. ing up the work on the mountain. : On the peak they found a very interest{ng sub- | ject in EH. A. Robison, who is in charge of the

son living at Colorado Springs, an altitude of 6000 feet. Hemoglobin is the red substance which forms about nine-tenths of the dry -conStituents of the red corpuscles and serves as a carrier of oxy- gen into the circulation. Mr. Robison, whose blood is the richest examined by the scientists on the peak, holds the walking record from Mani- tou, at the base of the mountain, to the summit, a distance of eight miles, which he covered in 2 hours and 31 minutes. Combustion of Products of Lungs Measured by Machine. HE scientists took blood tests every day, T and not only devoted much attention to the subject of the oxygen-carrying ma- terials in the circulation, but have tried to solve some of the problems of the white blood corpus- cles which have baffled science for years. Sam- ples of blood from each of the scientists have been sent every day or two to Dr. Gerald V. Webb of Colorado Springs, an expert in the study of white blood corpuscles. The question of circulation at high altitudes is being studied in a thorough manner. Last win- ter Drs. Henderson and Schneider at Yale tried to determine the rate of flow of blood through the lungs per second. They reached a method that does this approximately, through the administra- tion of what is commonly known as “‘laughing gas,” and noting the rate of absorption of that. The test was made on top of the peak, and care- ful comparisons with the deductions at lower lev- els were also made. Data were secured, also, on the output of blood at each beat of the heart. This was ascertained by a syste parisons of observations at low and high altitudes are made, In order to determine the difference in the cofisumption of oxygen in the lungs at work and at rest the most strenuous exercises were taken by the scientists. This brought into play a unique device invented by Prof. Douglas for determining the combustion products of the lungs. This is a knapsack-like affangement which is fastened over the scientist’s back. A tube connects the scientist’s mouth with the bag. A “hike” of a mile is taken at top speed up a 25 per cent grade of the cog road just below the summit of the peak. During the walk the lungs have been working at four or five times their normal speed. The scientist takes the bag into the laboratory and not only determines the combustion products of the lungs, but is able to figure out the exact number of breaths he has breathed into the de- vice.

The faintest breathing ise recorded by this delicate instrument. It has been shown that breathing at a high alticude is marked by curious irregularities, even when the subject is asleep. In general, one’s breathing on * of recoil, and com- - a place like Pike’s Peak consists of a series of short breaths, fgllowed by a rest. This, stated, could not be done at sea level if one tried. The five experts have completed their actual tests and are nOWw engaged in embodying their findings in a series of articles for the publications of the Royal Society. The articles will proba- bly appear within the next half year. Lungs Do Volunteer Extra Duty in Oxygen Production. RIMARILY, the errand of the scientists P was to investigate the various phenomefia of breathing in high altitudes, but this inquiry led at once to a consideration—of the ef- fect of rarefied alr upon disease, and particu- larly consumption. The chain of causes and effects which they constructed is, in a nutshell, as follows: a" At sea level, the air pressure, 15 pounds to the square inch, forces oxygen through, the lungs into the blood. In higher altitudes, as the air pressure de- creases, the lungs are compelled to do its work and to exert themselves in pumping oxygen into the blood. The exercise of this augmented labor strengthens the lungs, just as exertion of the arm strengthens it.

His belief, based upon his tests made on Pike’s Peak, is that the lungs, in high altitudes, do act as pumps; and his proof is that he found, upon the mountain, a larger proportion of oxygen in the blood than was present in the suriounding air. At sea level, the proportions of oxygen in the blood and in the air are evenly balanced. But in high altitudes the quantity of oxygen to the volume of air rapidly shrinks below the supply normally. required to maintain combustion in the body. But the body, in order to exist, must by some means obtain the necessary oxygen, although the air pressure on the heights is inadequate to supply it. In this emergency, according to Dr. Haldane, the lungs volunteer for the extra work, actively suck from the air such provisions of oxy- gen as the system needs, and pump it into the blood.

Its first effect is to explain, in part, why high altitudes are favor- able to the recovery of tuberculosis patients. Of course, germs are rarer in the mountains. Besides, the red corpuscles are not the active vigi- lantes of the body whose function it is to attack and destroy. the tubercle bacillus. This police duty belongs to the white corpuscles. But the red corpuscles, as the commis-. ariat of the body, keep it in strength, and its tiny warriors, the white cor- puscles, in fighting trim. The ef- fect of the increase of red corpuscles induced by high altitude is that of advancing an underfed clerk to the rations of an athlete’s training table. The scientists had been upon-the peak but a few days before they were able to detect a decided increase of red corpuscles in their own blood; in some instances an increase of 40 per cent over the red corpuscles of the average man at the sea level. In Dr. Henderson's case, his increase was 133, as compared with 100 at sea level, and this additional richness of blood was the result of only three weeks’ residence upon the moun- tain. “The body is like a gasoline engine,” said Dr.

“Many millions of new red corpuscles are thrown into the blood, enriching it and enabling it the better to withstand disease, as the red corpuscles are the nourishers, or food carriers, of the body.”

Their lips are blue, showing that their blood was not circulat- ing properly, because of the decreased atmospher- ic pressure. Like the gasoline engine when not running properly, their systems “smoked” and gave off poisonous combustion products, causing headache and mountain sickness. “But when these newcomers walked about a bit, exerc'se brought the wealthy color back into their cheeks; for their exertion had stimulated the lungs to begin their new function of pumping oxygen into the arteries. In several cases we have administered oxygen to persons who had walked up the peak and fainted, and in each in- stance they were quickly and compietely restored. “Another line ofour investigation concerned the action of the heart. We found that, in high altitudes, the organ accelerates the speed of its beats, but not the force. At sea level the neart beats about 70 st.o.es per minute; up here, 90. “The Royal Society of London was anxious to know how a man becomes acclimatec. in high alti- tudes, and our Pike’s Peak expe:imehts were the result. We also took up the questions: Why do persons who ascend high mountains breathe faster and often become faint and sick, and why is the blood richer and more capable of resisting disease in high altitudes than at sea level? | “Persons become acclimated in mountain re- gions, we decided, when their lungs save mas- tered the new function of secreting oxygen from the air and feeding it in proper quantities to the blood.

To begin with, one must always have something new for the first cool days, either a suit, because last year’s is seldom good enough to last through the second season, or a cloth dress for street wear if one is the happy possessor of a long coat of fur or cloth. These little dresses of serge and velvet that the French call trottier frocks are one of the most popular garments this season. They are trim- : med with wide Hercules braid, soutach, buttons and sometimes fringe, and with their large turned back cuffs and collars, short skirts and simple lines are immensely becoming and suitable for all-day wear and quite warm enough, with the addition of muff and scarf, to be comfortable until late into the autumn. Blue serge, two-tone worsted, silk serge, velvet and corduroy make these frocks. The picture on this page is of one made of navy blue serge with collar, cuffs, girdle and long end of broad lines and is about two and a half yards around. . cf the serge set on which hangs free the high waist line and ends with a bend of the braid a Httle above the bottom of the skirt.

The short sleeves were plain and widened just above the elbow, where thev showed an undersleeve of white lace above which were two ruchings of lace about an inch and a half wide. The neck was cut out in a deep circle and filled in to the base of the throat with white net trimmed with flat folds of blue satin about an inch apart.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. DISCOVERY of = tre- mendous import to the human race has ju been disclosed by Louis A. Bauer of the Carnegie Institution, Washington. Its con- sequences are so star- tling that no scientist has yet dared to pen his conclnsions, and the astounding facts now reach the public for the first time, , The world is slowing down in its daily rota- tion and the days are getting longer. Magnetic storms are puiting a magnetic brake on the earth, and if they continue to constrict this brake, at the rate measured for the past 18 years, in just 3320 years this good old earth will no longer be turning like one of Mathewson’s | ~ Xcurved balls, but will settle down, with one side in perpetual sunshine, blasted by withering heat, and the other side in endless darkness and cold, corresponding to the extreme frigidity of inter- steller space. Observe, it is not claimed that the earth posi- tively will come to a standstill in chis year 5231 A. D., but simply that it is being subjected to a brake that may stop it by that time. Probably most scientists would argue that magnetic storms will be less violent in future; that other forces will intervene, and that the stopping: of the earth will be postponed a great many years beyond the date named. But all actentists will acquiesce in the state- ment that the earth is slowing down and sooner @r later will come to a stop. When the earth stops turning the side toward the sun will become overheated, and water will dry up and blistering deserts will cover the sur- face. Near the edge of the sunlit side there will a a temperate zone, where the sun wil] always one hour high or thereabouts, remaining at the same height above the horizon year in and year. out. Every hour will be like six o’clock In the morning of a-summer day. To this de- lightful region the world’s population will flock. A little removed from the hot area will be the twilight zone, also quite habitable, with ‘the Sun unending at the horizon. Time With No Seasons und a Day a Year Long. HOUGH life in the torrid or hot zone will be insupportable, as a rule, yet on the outer | @dges, where the sun is but two or three hours high, people may live in a temperature of 100 to 140 degrees by means of various cooling contrivances. On the dark, cold side of the earth all the water will be frozen solid—even mercury will freeze in that awful chill. It will be impossible for human oeings to penetrate more than three or four hun- dred miles into wie dark and frigid zone, which will be far more inaécessible than are now the polar wastes. The fact that all the water on the cold side of the earth will be frozen and all the water on the hot side dried up and evaporated will tend to c@use a great disturbance of the continents and eceans of the globe. There must be some sort of rearrangement, and it would seem that the oceans would tend to seek the habitable temperate zone, which would then be the equator’s equiva- lent. Since the earth's surface contains very much more water than land, it is extremely prob- able"Wjat the temperate zone will not contain nearly enough land to satisfy the population and that there will be contittuous strugsies for pos- session of valuable soil.

When the days get to be 40 hours long it will surely be necessary to arrange for a period of rest and sleep in the middle of the day. Think of a long day in which it gets light only at 10 o’clock and we arise and go to work at 12; at 16 o’clock we are allowed a recess and lunch. At 20 o’clock we stop and dine and take a nap. At 22 we go to work again; recess at 24, with more lunch. At 29 we quit—and this is the rush hour for street cars. At 30 o’clock we are home for our night dinner; at 32 we go to the theater. At 36 o’clock the people begin to go to bed, and by 38 or 39 o’clock the last night prowler should be tucked in his little couch.

If the speed of the earth’s rotation on its axis continues to decrease at its rate of de- crease during the past 18 years, the earth will cease to revolve in 3231 A. D., according to PROF. LOUIS A. BAUER of the Carnegie Institution. — ), As the days lengthen until they exceed a week’s duration all sorts of complicattons will en- sue and the days, weeks and months will become hopelessly mixed. Scientists agree that the lunar month will lengthen as the day lengthens, though the day will increase the more rapidly. Accord- ing to Prof. Ernest W. Brown of Haverford Col- lege, who has given special attention to this sub- ject, there will come a time when the month and the day will both be of the same duration of about 1300 hours, or 55 of our present days. As the earth’s day gets longer and longer, the time will come when.a day is a year long. Then there will be no more days and nights, no weeks and no months. The earth always will have one side to the sun and the moon will have one side to the earth, and the two will turn around the sun once a year as if fixed on a rigid bar. There will be no more seasons on the earth—no spring, summer, autumn or winter. The weather of the several seasons can be experienced only by traveling to and fro between the hot and cold zones, for one-half will be perpetually hot, dry and parched; the other will be like the polar regions during the long Arctic night. It is clear that property values in more than half the planet will be wipéd out. Cities and farms throughout the dark half of the globe will be buried under perpetyal glaciers. Correspond- ingly values will rise enormously in neal estate on the habitable strip that les just on the cool edge of the hot hemigphere. No one knows, no one can calculate at this time, what part of the earth will be included in this habitable strip or belt any more than they can predict which half of the world wil] be hot and which cold. All that

selence can forecast is that men wil) migrate to that rim. : Most of che facts here outlined have been ¥x j es 4 te — ez far * —— — ig an ea” ee , ee ii ua pape aes 8 ee —— ey bi - HOT ZONE OF ENDLESS SUNLIGHT THE EARTH AS IT MAY APPEAR WHEN IT HAS CEASED TO ROTATE ON ITS AXIS, PERPETUAL DAY ON ONE SIDE. PERPETUAL NIGHT ON THE OTHER known to scientists for tnany years; the fact they have not understood is that these changes might come within a short time from an astronomical point of tiew. Prof. Bauer’s recent researcnes indicate that the slowing down of the earth and consequent lengthening of the day may come much sooner than had been supposed. Heretofore it has required several millions of years to lengthen the day one nour; and although trades unions may arbitrarily shorten a working day on a month’s notice, they have no power over the magnetic influences that put a brake on the globe and thus~ lengthen the 24-hour day. The researches of Prof. Louis A. Bauer have been rewarded by the discovery that the magnetic moment (or electrical rotary motion) is dimin- ishing so rapidly that if the past 18 years’ rec- ord may be taken as a guide, the rotation will be seriously affected. Curiously enough, the mag- netic moment is being lost at the same speed which radium decay progresses, and the startling query is at once forced on the mind whether it be possible that the loss of the earth’s magnetism and of the earth’s supply of radium will not bring to a standstill the earth’s rotation on its axis within the comparatively brief period of three and a third thousand years! Prof. Bauer does not suggest this; neither does Prof. Shuster nor Prof. Darwin; but read their utterances on this page and put them together, and see if they do not all point to the same star- tling conclusion that our fair earth is bastening thus rapidly to transformation. Only 3320 Years Before Earth Will Stop Still. H. DARWIN, professor of mathematics G at Cambridge University, is authority ® for the statement that a hundred million years ago the earth was revolving at a speed six to eight times faster than now; so that its day may fairly be reckoned as one of three hours’ length. At that time the moon swung in a cir- cle very close to the earth, making her journey in three or four hours’ time, or about two hun- dred times as fast as she now travels. Coming so near the earth, the moon had a tremendous iufluence on the water, and her journey was fol- lowed by tides fully 600 feet in height, which swept completely around the planet in the moon’s wake in four hours or less. As millions of years passed the earth's rota- tion slowed down, probably mainly from the tidal friction, and the day lengthened, while the moon slipped further and further away, until at last the day increased to twenty or twenty-one hours. Rer- haps at this period the conditions of climate and temperature on the earth were such that life ap- peared and was slowly developed during more mil- lions of years, until the earth became as we know it. As these conditions existed in the past, it fol- lows that conditions such as have been suggested must come in the future, . How did Prof. Bauer get at the germ of his sénsational discovery? It was this way: The pro- fessor is undoubtedly the most enthusiastic living student of terrestrial magnetism. For years he has edited a quarterly magazine devoted to mag- SUNDAY MAGAZINE- ST.

“We can only think of the Earth's rotational energy as the source from which it (energy of .a great magnetic storm) may come.’—DR. ARTHUR SCHUSTER, F. R.S. University of Manchester, Chairman of the Executive Committee of In- fernational Union for Solar Re- search.

netism and studied all phases of the subject. He knew, as we know now, that the earth was noth- ing but a big dynamo whirling around in space, just as an electric dynamo whirls on its axis, and that the earth sets up strong electric currents similar to those of the dynamo. These currents were first. utilized for the return in a telegraph circuit. Later the trolley railways were con- structed, the electric current running on the over- head_ wires and returning through the earth. As the telegraph increasdd in use it was dis- Covered that occasionally the wires were thrown out of commission by magnetic disturbances that took place apparently all over the earth at the Same time, and that these times were identical with the activity of spots seen on the sun. The conclusion was irresistible that the sun’s spots were caused by great electric storms; that the magnetism shot across 92,000,000 miles of inter- vening space and affected the earth’s currents. So strong is this interference at times that the compass has been turned five degrees from its correct direction and telegraphic instruments have ° been put out of order for a whole day, while gi- gantic sheets of magnificent auroral flames have decorated the northern skies. Was Eruption of Mont Pelee Caused by Magnetic Storm ? STRONOMICAL observatories possess in- A struments for recording variations of terrestrial magnetism and for about twenty years most of them have kept records of magnetic disturbances. It has been Prof. Bauer’s self-appointed special] task to study these records. He has felt that if he could understand what caused the earth’s magnetism to vary so much— sometimes 20 per cent in intensity—the: laws governing the earth's magnetism could be learned. In the course of his studies he became impressed with the fact that the terrible volcanic eruption of Mont Pelee May 8, 1902, was almost identical in time with a great magnetic storm The old town clock at St. Pierre stopped when Pelee’s head blew off and that city of 35,000 souls was wiped out. The reports of the observatories indicated that the world-wide magnetic storm that followed started about 7:54, or two minutes after the Pelee explosion. Was there not some connection be- tween the two?

A hundred million years ago the world revolved six to eight times faster than now, and a day was but three hours long, says PROF. G. H. DARWIN of

Cambridge University.

ge ® Prof. Bauer wanted td know more So he sent for all the magnetic storm records of that date and secured the original records from instruments in 25 observatories. By studying these different records and insti- tuting the most careful measurements and com- parisons, Prof. Bauer was able to prove that the Pelee magnetic. storm did not begin at the same instant at every point on the globe. All the text- — 4 — — booke state that the magnetic storms, which seem to come from sun spots, appear on the earth in- stantaneously at all points. Prof. Bauer was not only-able to disprove this, but he proved that the magnetic storm went whirling around the ea:th in this case at a speed of about seven thousand miles a minute, making the circuit in three and a half minutes. He also proved that it must have struck St. Piere at about 7:53, or a fraction less than a minute from the time the o.d town clock stopped. It is fair to presume that the clock, like most town clocks, was not quite accurate, and that this tremendous magnetic wave. sweeping around the earth at a terrific speed of 7000 miles a minute, upset the delicate balance of boiling lava under Mont Pelee and drought on the ex- plosion that devastated fair Martinique! gaptu 100.00Q000 TEARS AGO WHEN Tue Daes WERE THRTE HOURS LONG. This discovery Bauer-s was published in his —- Terrestrial Magnetism, last year. And it is now generally accepted by scientists that the magnetic storms start at some point on the globe and travel around, or partially around, at& speed that varies from three to seven minutes in making the entire circuit of the earth, and that in thus circling the globe they act like the band- brake of an automobile wheel—they constrict the earth and slow its motion. | Magnetic storms, so far as we observe them, interfere principally with the magnetic currents that circle the earth in the atmosphere. It has been learned that the higher the currents the greater is their speed, and Prof. Bater has calcu- lated that a magnetic-storm current that circles the earth in four minutes exists mainly at a height of about fifty miles from the surface. The tend- ency of these currents coming from the sun is to work downward to the earth, and as they come lower their speed of rotation is reduced. It is these singular disturbing currents issuing from the sun when sun spo are active that interfere with the norma] magnetic currents circling ebout the earth, causing magnetic storms, turning the compass out of true and interfering with the tele- graphic service. They do not seriously affect the telephone, as that is less sensitive to their in- fluence. Sun spots are believed to be vast whirlpools or vortices in the outer envelope of the sun. Some- times they are of enormous size, one great spot What It Cost to Build the Pyransida FAMILIAR‘ question, and one frequently asked by “personaly eonducted” tourists visiting Egypt and the great pyramid built by Cheops is “I wonder how much it cost to build it?” A buflding contractor with a head r figures and building estimates has estimated that the Cheops pyramid could not be duplicated today for less than $190,000,000. With modern machinery and the employment of 40,000 stone cutters, haulers, quarrymen, mascns and laborers a duplicate of the pyramid could be erected in two years. ‘ It has been calculate* that the work really having been described as large enough to permit two planets of the size of Jupiter to be driven in abreast! The magnetic or electrical energy p:0- duced by such a whirlpool is beyond our ability to estinate, but some idea may be gained by an observation made on the spots in 1%59 which — moved along the sun’s surface at the yrodigious speed of 35,000 miles in five minutes’ dme. This is just about the speed of the magnetic brake cur- rent which passed around the earth and cause the St. Pelee eruption. Curiously enough, when the moon comes be- tweer the sun and the earth it shuts off the mag- netism from a sun spot and the interference with the earth’s currents is “eclipsed.” Various scientists have suspected the influence of radium in the cyclonic action accompanying the sun’s spots. One reason for this is the prof- inence of helium lines in spectograph of the sun’s spots; another that the earth’s magnetic moment - diminishes at the same speed as radium decay progresses. of all magnetic storms for the past 18 years, an he finds that these disturbances of the earth's magnet'sm projected from the sun tend to check © or diminish the earth’s magnetic moment; or, to express it in po, ular English, they tend to put a brake on the wor'd, checking iis mag ‘ic ro- tation at the rate of one 24-100th part an ally. ‘It is almost impossible to believe hat the speed of rotation of the magnetic currents circling the earth car be reduced without causing a cor- responding reduction in the rotation of the earth itself around its axis. A dynamo without circling electric currents must come to a standstill, and so it must be with the earth if her circling mag- netic currents are slowed down and diminished until they have no more rotary action. Prof. Bauer’s own words are: “Whether the earth ever recovers completely from a magnetic disturbance is questionable.” This is strong lan- guage for the scientist. 3

There will come a time when the month and the day will be of the same duratién, says PROF. ERNEST W. BROWN of Haverford College.

Dr. Artnur Schuster, F. R. & who has won considerable reputation among students of mag- netism by mapping and charting the regular di- urnal variation in the earth's magnetism, makes . the statement that “We can only think of the earth’s rotational energy as the source from which : it (energy of a great Magnetic storm) may come.” Certainly it must follaw that Dr. Schuster believes the rotating magnetic currents of the earth are so. connected with the earth's own rotation that when one ceases the other must also stop. If these conclusions be correct we are reaching the astounding fact that the length of the earth's day will steadily lengthen for the next 3320 years or some such period, and that eventually our day will be exactly a year in length, producing the — conditions we have attempted to describe in these pages. 3 required the sé. \ces of 100,000 men for thi years.

I wasn't one of the cafe art critics that always looked at the oil painting over the bar when the waiter is around taking the order, or one of these conservative spenders who ignore al] the drink checks but are perfectly willing to take you over and introduce you to the party in charge of the free lunch counter, who, a close personal friend of theirs, will treat you right on their ac- count. No, sir, I was free-bearted as long as I had a cent and everybody in Rome said so. Just point to a single rea] blotch on my escutcheon, will you? “Well,” I ventured, “there was the fire. There’s been considerable talk about that, one way and another.” “The which?” demanded Nero. “The time Rome burned,” I explained, “and you were accused, you know, not only of apply- ing the match, but of playing the fiddle while the flames raged?” “Well, what if something of the sort did hap- pen?” countered the Emperor with a violence which shook his double and triple chins until his face looked as though’ it were melting in layers and running down on his clothes, “What if I did?

You sit down an’ wait,” and she was gone before I could say another word. I sat down in the great room, as if at the portals of judgment day, every fiber of me kKeenly alive, and yet my mind knowing no particular focus of thought. The future gaped before me like eternity, something too vaguely laige for definition or comprehension. I remember that I kept whispering Grvly to myself that a man was master of his fate, and feeling infinitestimally comforted by the sophistry. The curtains at the door parted, and Lady stood look- ing into my eyes. I saw before she spoke that she knew why I had come. “Tl was sure that it was you,” she said at last. ‘“Sheiia told me that a young man was downstairs, and that she could not get him to go away.” “She told me,” I said, “that you did not wish to see me. Was that true?” Lady sank wearily into a chair. “Sheila should not have let you in,” she said. “I was afraid that yeu might come here; and you know that it was wrong of you t9 come. You know that as well as I do.” | She spoke monotonously, with pauses between the words, leaning back along the deep chair. The last few days must have been hard ones for her. She was very pale, the little blue veins im her temples distinct and clearly lined. It tore me to see her so; and for a mo- ment I wondered if I had done well to come, and felt a wave of that uncomfortable reaction which meets one on the threshold of a test; for a moment only, then I knew that even though. I tire@ her the more it was a price that we must. pay for her sake as well 4s mine. No gzood ever comes of half. understandings. : “No, I don’t know that,”I said siowly. “You don't be- licve that I'm altogefher selfish, or that I would’ come now, when I know that many things have distressed yor, to give you any further reason for distress.” * She leaned: forward, one: white hand raised: “Please.” she said, “I'm not sure—not really sure—why you. hav- come. But I am certain of this, that you’ have made a mistake. in ‘coming... There’s nothing on earth that yor. can do toe help us just now—there’s nothing anybody cas do—there’s nothing anybody can do.” “Oh, things arent so bad as that.” I knew I was only tempcrizing, ard raged inwardly at myself. Lady's eyes drovoped, and one hand played nervously with a loop of the chain that hung about her neck. “I don’t believe you can understand just how bad they are The worst of it is that I can’t tell you—oh, it wasn’t fair of you to come today’’—her voice broke ever so little, and her eyes brimmed with unshed tears—‘“‘I'm tired and disheartened, and I want advice and comfort— no, don’t come near me—I can’t tell you anything—there’s nothing I can tell t@ anybody in the world.” I wags standing before her. “No, I can’t comrort you now,” I said. “I’m here to ask you things, and perhaps to hurt you very much. But you mustn’t think I've come carelessly. I came because I had to—because there are things I have to understand to go on living.” Her eyes were frightened, but she settled herself back as if to meet whatever blow my questioning might give “f don’t think that you are very genérous today,” she said: and her voice grew harder than I had ever heari it. . “Neither shall I answer anything that I may nor. But—but perhaps you are right—perhaps there are some things that you should know. Please say what you have to say and have it done.” “You told me once,” I began gently, “that: your name was Margaret.

Why should you ask these things again?” I paused. Certainly she was not.to Near that ugly story if it were not true and I could in any way pre- vent it. “It may seem very strange to you,” said I, “but som? day I will tell you all about it. I have to know this now: Do you mean that it is true that you have a sister, that her name is Miriam, and that she is—that she was Dr. Reid's wife?” The question was out at last, and my heart stopped for the answer. “Why, yes,” she answered, in the same disinterested tone, as if she were telling dry facts in distant history—- ' “Miriam married Walter when he came back from studying abroad. She only lived about a year. They had a little girl, you know, that lived not more than about an hour. I think that if she had lived, Miriam would have lived too. But it was too much for her to bear. She died three days after her baby died.” The unshed tears were falling now, falling quietly in the mere physical relief of tender sorrow. Every rigid lime of tragedy and pain had disappeared, and her trou- ble came upen her naturally, lke sleep, a-_relaxation. andi a rest after hot-eyed days. I did not evem feel any -sor- row for her, so full was 1 of the mew certainty that. we were free. Very reverently I came. closer to her, and like a child she turned to me and hid her: face against mv shoulder. ‘So we rested for a space. I do not. think that either of us had any. definite thought—only that peace wrapped us like a garment and: that the: tension of the past few weeks had somehow vanished away. At last Lady drew herself quietly -‘from me; half smiling as she brushed away her tears. i 7 “IT have been very silly,”” she whispered, “but it’s ail over now. It was good of you-to let me cry,” and she reached her hand toward me with a gesture so intimately grateful that my love fairly broke its bounds; and I © caught it almost fiercely in my own. “Lady, Lady dearest,” I cried,. “can't you see what it all means? Oh, my dear, you must see. I love yo% That.is all I know in the world, and nothing else mat- ters or can matter.” “No, no—you must not” she drew back from me frightened. “You must not tell me that. You Nave no right—and you are spoiling it all.” “Don’t you love me?” I persisted, Lady raised her eyes sadly. “There can be no such thing for you and me. I have told you why.” “What have you told me?” “I've told you that even if I. did—care for you—that T could not let myself care—that I can only see you even when you treat me as a friefid, and only ag a friend.” “You told me once, I remember, that there wag some one else. I think now that you were mistaken. Thera neither is nor can be anyone else.” ~ “But there is.” The words were scarcely audible, and her @yes were turned away from me. “I know perhaps what you mean. I didn't know at the time—but I think I do now. Do you mean that the somé one else, the person who stands between you and me, is your mother?” FICTION SECTION- -ST.

If you feare’ that my intimacy would betray this trouble you all guard as a secret—whky, you see I know that now; and surelv you can not doubt it in your heart that 1 would guacd ‘any secret of yours more sacredly than anything in the world. Why has it anything to do with us?” 1 was speaking eagerly, with that feolish burst of argumenta- tive logic which a lover fondly imagines potent. burlins, breathless words against the impregnability of convic- tion “No,” said Lady softly. “You are wrong, because you still dv not know There is no taint: of insanity in the family; we are not afraid gf that.

' “You see, it is no question of the truth.” She went on at last, in that terribly distant and even voice. “It is trve to her—and very dreadful—so that it is dangerous for her even to remember. That is why she shrinks from Walter: that is why I keep her wedding-ring.” She touched the chain that hung about her neck, “And that is why—do you understand now?” I nodded wordlessly, for the world seemed coming ta an end. Then, thank God, I looked into the eyes of my love; and behind their despair I read appeal, the ayeless call of a woman's heart to the one man of her faith And then I had taken her in my arms. I held her close and the fragrance of her hair was in my nostrils, an) sofi arms had crept around my neck, bending my hea. to meet the upturned face. “Oh, Laurie, you wil! be kina to me,” she said at last. “I can never de it all alone. You must help—voh, my dear, 1 have n2eded you xo.” “It will be right. You know that it is right,” 1 whis- pered. * L0u must mind the way. then, dear—I have thouwiit so long that it was wrong to tell you that even now I can’t tell what is right. Gnly-—-God doesn’t let some things be unless He means them—bnut I can’t see the way. You must mind it now, for her aid us, too.’ What feeling I had of another presence I do not know. but half uneasily I turned. Between the curtains ‘of the docrway stood Mrs. Tabor, her hands raised above her head gripping tive curtains as if for supp@gt, So that she seemed rather te hang tlere than to stand: her eyes looked through and beyond us vacantly, and the pretty old young face.was twisted tike a tragic mask. Then the curtains dropped before her, and from the hall came the gasp of a stifling sob. Lady was out of my arms an: away as if I had not been there. Her cold voice pleaded for a moment with the rising hysteria without. Then etl sound died, and I was left utterly alone; the silence of the great room about me, and before my mind the world of reality and the battle still to fight. CHAPTER XXIII. I STAND BETWEEN TWO WORLDS. NX FTER a tew empty minutes, | went quietly out of A the house, and af the end «f the drive paused to look back over the sunlit t.wn with tts bright flower-beds ¢nd heavy trees. My work was plain enough before me now; I saw what I had to do? pnd the only question was my method of approach, The impossibility of it somehow did not interest me. I did not want to think the situation over, but merely to de- cide at what point I should first take hold ‘upon it; and I was eager to begin. As I stood there, I saw. Dr. Reid, in loose flannels and with a tennis racket in his hand, come in the side gate and walk jerkily toward the garage in the re@r. Here was one thing to be done at least, and I might as well attend to,it while I was on the ground. His springy step was on tie stairs as I entered tho building after him, and I overtook him at the top, shuf- fling from one foct to the other before an oaken door, while he hunted throuhg his pockets for a key. He turned sharply at the sound of my coming. “What are you doing here?” was his greeting. “Reid,” said l. “I have to say to you that I regret. forc- ing that matter on you the other night: and if you'll give me a little time, I want to tell you why. It will en: in our pulling more or less together, instead of fighting each other.” His face s=t for an instant then he made up his mind “Very well. i'm free for awhile. Come in. No ocvasion perhaps for an apology: spoke too hastily myself. No sense in being emotional.” He threw open the door an‘i stepped back. “My digestion wasn't norma}! that day, you see. Fermentation. Generally a physical basis for those tlings. Alc ‘hol besides.” I preceded him into a sudden blaze of air and sunlight, a first impression of wide space and staring cleanliness. While I blinked, Reid swung a leather-covered chair to- ward me, with @ word of hasty excuse. : “Just been exercisirg, you see, and I've got to take my shower. Great mistuke sitting down without. I'll be with you in half a moment,” ahd he vanished beling a rubber curtain that ran on a nickeled rod before an al- cove at the back, leaving me to look a‘ out the rvom. Then Reid issued forth from his bath, glowing ana alert with vivid energy and contagiously alive. “Pretty com.iortable place, eh?” he burst forth ‘Fine Fine. All my own idea. Fitted it up wceording to my own notion. Everything [ need right here, nothing use- less, plenty of light and ventilation. Have a cigarette” I don't smoke often myself, but I keep ’em at hand. Best form to take totacco, if you don’t inhale.

And 1 under- stand why.” : ‘“I told Tabor you’d ba at the bottom of it eventually. As for the other matter-—- well, it has to be reckoned with. Strongest motive we have. The race has got to go on.” He frowned suddenly: “How much do you know?” “tt know that Carucei lied; I know that Mrs. Tabor is out of her mind; I know that her delusion takes: the form of a horror of marriage, because” I stopped, _ Searching for a softened form of words; but Keid took up the broken sentence and went evenly on, as imper- sonatiy scientific us if we had been speaking of strangers, | *Reeuse of my wife’s death Hysteria aggravaied by ; Fixed idea of Miriam's continual presence _o—What'’s that line?—‘the wixh father to the thought’— The psychic element in these things. you know, dues re- act on the physical, Whole thing moves aa circle.

You're & layman, you know, and you look at it with the simplicity of ignorance. No offense meant, but that’s the plain fact, you know. Paulus doesn't call it hopeless, but Rome wasn't built in a aay. Nothing to do but wait.” “I'm going to find something to do,” I said, “because something has to be done.” “Right spirit. Right way to face a difficulty. Always best to be optimistic. But of course, you mustn't risk any private experiments. You understand that Might do harm. Hell's paved with good intentions, -ou know, and we've got an expert on the case. Where there’s any work for you, we'll count you in, but you mustn't butt in.” I rose from my chair. “Of course I've no idea of put- ting in my oar without authority. Give me credit for that much sense—and thank you for making ma under- stand the facts. Tell Mr. Tabor of thig conversation will you? I'm off to New York.” “Certainly. Certainly. By the way, Crosby, I suppose { ought to congratu‘ate you. Fine. Fine. Well, we've got to be patient and hope for the best. It’s hard, of course. But li‘e’s a hard struggle. A hard struggle Good-by. Can vou see your way down?” As Reid had intelligently observed, it was hard And the hardest part of it was the waiting. I saw Maclean that same night, and without evincing more then an ordi- nary curiosity about spiritualism arranged to be taken to the next of the seances. After that, there was noth- ing to do until one Should be held. The slender thread of coincidence between Sheila’s ghost-stories and my experi- ences at the last one wag my single chance of discover- ing a remedy of which the doctors did not know. Prob- ubly I should discover nothing of any use; but until J could contribute some definite help, I would not go back to Stamford. I had made more than enough trouble there already. a ae — It was another wegk before the chance came. And l was a little surprised when Maclean conducted me not to the cinsed house we had before visited, but to the house on Ninety-second street to which 1 had followed Dr. Paulus on his way home. I had my first good look at the medium before the pro- ceedings began: a fattish, fluffy woman with large eyes, pale-haired and slow-moving whose voluble trivialties of conversation and dress exaggerated both vulgarism and convention. For a moment or two, I wrestied with ap uncanny certainty of having seen her sOmewliere before groping about among my recollections. Then all at once I remembered; she was the woman who had been with us on the trolley accident, the woman who had so cu- riously discovered the whereabouts of the chain. As before, tne circle formed about the center-tabls consisting of only a dozen or so, and the rest of us were left sitting about the walls. The doors were vlosed, and the extinguishing of the lights left the room in almost utter darknes. The greenish pallor about the edges of the windows made it possible to imagine rather than to see. The gloom had the solidity of closed eyelids; and perhaps because of the sudden transitien from brillian: light, it had the same fullness of indefinite color and movement; as when one suddenly buried one’s face in the pillow with the light still burning. I caught myself un- consciously straining my eyes to observe these half-im- aginary after-images. And despite the difference of en- vironment the sitters had hardly begun their tuneless crooning of old songs before I felt the same breathless closeness as before, the same saturated oppresion, the same feeling of uncomfortable and even indecent over- crowding. I steadied myself with long breaths, bracing involuntar- ily against the tension. Then all at once, the door opened Silently and softly closed; and ag I turned to look some one rustled past me, yisible only as a solid shadow in ths gloom, and without a word slipped into a chair at the table. The others made room, and the chair was moved up quietly, no one speaking or even pausing in the song. But my heart pounded in my ears and my hahds heatei as I clenched them, for somehow 1 knew as certainly as if I could have plainly seen that the newcomer was Mrs “Tabor. , A chair creaked softly. and | started, while the skin tightened over my cheeks &nd my tongue dried and tasted salt. The medium seemed to be writhing about, making little soft urging noises, like muffled groans or the nameless sound that goes with lifting a heavy burden or suddenly exerting the whole strength of the body. Then the peculiar padded rapping began. The incon- gruously matter-of-fact voice -of the professor asked: “Are the hands all here?” and the circle counted in a low tone while the raps went irregularly on. Some woman across the room giggled nerveusly « Why these trivial . details did not interrupt and relieve the tension, | do not know; but their very absurdity seemed to intensify it: I was hot and puffy and a ‘trifie faint. Suddenty Maclean gripped my Knee, and muttered: “Look at the table—My God, look at.the table—’” * I do not know just how to describe it; to say that I saw is not literally accurate; for it was really too,dark to see; the table and the group around it were no more than a bulk.in the midst of darkness. But as I gtrained my eyes toward it, that blur of unconvincing cloudiness which I had seen or fancied before swelled into mid-air, showing against the dark like black with light upon it against black in shadow. And illuminated as it were by that visible darkness, the table beneath it rose up from its place under the circle of hands, wavered as though afloat upon the rising stream of a fountain, then settled with a thud and a ereak down again upon the floor. There was a momentary silence, full of crowded breathings. While I was wondering confusedly how much of-it I had only imagined, Prof. Shelburgh said calmly: “That’s the best levitation we've had so far. Who did it? Who is there?” “{ did. Miriam. Do you Want any more?” Another man somewhat in the circle stammered uncom- fortably: “I—well—er—I beg your pardon, but—could you mdye something quite beyond our reach? One of those things on the bookcase, for instance?” “What for?’ whined the voice, “you wouldn't believe it anyway—I don't want to talk to you—Is mother there” Maclean's hand relaxed upon my knee, and he snifted audibly. But the answer brought my heart in my throat, for I knew who made it, beyond the possibility of mis- take. “Yes, dear.” Mrs. Tabor said quietly. “What fs it?’ “I wanted—to see you—Why didn’t you come last time? —I get—lonely sometimes”— * And the throaty, querulous contralto answered; -SEPTEMBER “I couldn’t come before. Arent you happy?” ise might have been speaking to a child crying in its bed. “I want to—come back—I want—you, mother dear— I'm very happy, but I—went away too soon.” “But I've seen you every day at home, dear child.” “It isn’t the—the—same—I can’t talk—to—you—there —You're afraid of—something—I see fear—in your heart —and—that frightens me.” | “You musn't be afraid, Miriam; you musn’t. Nobody shall take you away!” A flush and a wave of nausea went over me, and I felt my hair bristling, not with nervousness, but with a kind of anger. The unwholesomeness of the whole scene was too sickéning—the poor mother’s hysterical fondness, the utter sincerity of her emotion, and the sentimentalism that whined in reply, so perfectly calculated to irritate and control the crippled mind. And the element of dis: torted love made it all the worse, a beauty turned sour. I thought of the dainty little lady that had fenced with words so deftly; and only the need to understand once for all made me endure to listen, “Ask something that no one but yourself can know,” the professor put in. Perhaps even he felt some em- barrassment. Mrs. Tabor hesitated. “I wonder if I ought.” she said, half to herself, “I do so want to know.” rhe voice grew steadier: “Ask me what you will— mother darling—I know already—what you fear.” “Miriam, did I understand what—what I saw the other day?” I grew suddenly cold, and felt as if the floor were sinking under me. “The other day?—- Fix your mind upon it, mother dear—I see you now—I see you very much frightened— You thought a new trouble was coming—Another trouble like the first—not for yourself—but’— ~ “Oh, it wasn’t myself!” The dry terror of the tone was dreadfully like something I remembered. “It was for her—you know it was for her. They looked as if— Does she love him, Miriam? Does she love him?” That was more than I would bear. The whole un- natural dialogue had been profane enough; but this new sacrilege—The switch of the electric light was in the wall behind me, and before the spirit voice could speak again, my fingers had found and pressed it. The medium gave a tearing scream that was horrible to hear, twisted herself out of her chair, and jerked and wrigzled on the floor, choking and gurgling. In the sharp: yellow giare, the whole room was one hysterical confusion, men and women scrambling to their feet, or sitting ‘dazed, their hands before their eyes. The professor cried angrily: “Confound it, man, you're crazy! You're crazy! You may have kiled her. Don’t you know how -dangerous it is to turn on light that way?’ and stooped over the struggling woman on the floor, with scowling side-long glances back at me. A couple of other men came forward threateningly. and a bejeweled woman, who seemed to be the hostess, eried acidly: “Mercy on us, who is the fellow? One of those reporters?’ “Madam, I can promise you ao publicity,” said I, and I strode over to were Mrs. Tabor hand sunk forward on the table, her head motionless upen her outstretched arms. Maclean came to my rescue just in time. “One moment, ladies and gentlemen! Look there—the lacy had fainted, you see? Faintec. before the lights went on, you see? My friend did exactly right. Now let’s keep this all as quiet as pessible-——-we don’t want a sensation in the papers.” Then as he helped me to raise Mrs. Tabor from her chair, he muttered: “Darn you, Laurie, what in blazes was bitin’ you anyhow?” , Between us, we half carried her from the room, while the others were attending to the medium and at cross- purposes among themselves. “he had not actually faint- ed away. and in spite of her shock was able to walk downstairs with a little-help. The doorbell had been ringing violently as we came into the upper hall: and we were still upon the .stairs when a flustered maid opened the door upon Mr. Tabor. “Is Mrs. George Tabor”’— he began. Then he caught sight of us and sprang past the maid with a growl. “It's LI, Mr. Tabor—Crusby. She’s been to an enter- tainment here, and broken down, [I'll tell you later.

Mr. Tabor did not say a word as we led his wife across the sidewalk and into the palpitating car. He motioned for me to fullow her. “Not if you can spare me, sir,” I said. “I'll be out early tomorrow. I think I've found a key to the whole trouble, and I’ve got to see about it.” He tu#ned, frowning into my eyes under the white bristle of his brows. “Crosby,” he growled, “either we've-a good deal to thank you for, or else—or else you'd better not come to- morrow.” Carefully, carefully, THE CONSULTATION OF AN EXPERT AND A LAYMAN.

Are you ready?” Dr. Paulug did not say another word until we were safely aboard the train and out of the tunnel. Mr. Tabor met us at the door, and as we came up the steps Reid slipped eagerly past him. “Splendid!” he exclaimed, wringing the great man's hand. “Splendid! Hoped it would be this train, but hardly dared think so. I kn@®w how important your time is. Very good of you to come out, very good, indee4. Now as to the case; manifestations unfortunately very clear just now. Very unfortunate, but I’m afraid we have been right all along. Come out to my rooms a moment, and I'll give you the whole matter in detail. Better to run over the wholé thing scientifically.” Dr. Paulus smiled at me dryly: “I shall be most happy,” he shrilled, and after a formal word or two with Mr. Tabor, stalked soberly around the house, Mr. Tabor and I went into the living-room without speak- ing. ? “Has Lady told you?“ He nodded. “I hardly know what to say to you, Crosby. I feel very sorry for you both. I am sorry for all of us. Mrs. Tabor has not been herself at all since the other day, and, of course, for the time everything else is secondary to her. But don't think that I'm amy thing but very glad personally.” He held out his hand, I took it in silence, and a moment later, Lady came in, greeting me very quietly, as if my presence at this time were entirely a matter of course. Father and daughter evidently understood each other. We sat almost in si- lence until the two doctors returned, Paulus frowning downward and Reid more jerkily busy than eyer. The scene had the air of a deliberate family council, “Mr. Tabor,” Doctor Paulus began, “I have thought better not to disturb our patient by an interview just now, since she is asleep after so long a wakefulness. Dr. Reid besides has made the conditions very clear. Only on one point he has not been able to inform we wholly: It appears that Mrs. Tabor has attended meetings of spiritualists habitually in secret, which accounts for those excursions of which we knew lately. How long ago may we possibly date the commencement of this practice?” “She was interested in spiritualism carelessly and 4$ a sort of fad before riam’s marriage,” Mr. Tabor an- swered, “but so far as I know, she never actually at- tended any sittings then; and she hasn't spoken of ‘t for years. She might, of course, have kept it secret all _along; it’s only within the last few months that we have tried to follow all her movements.” Dr. Paulus settled heavily into a chair, and fell t» drumming on the arm of it. Lady stood beside her father, her arm resting upon his shoulder; and Rei paced nervously up and down the room. A chirp and a rustle made me notice the canary nanging in the far- ther window. Finaliy Paulus leoked up. “De you prefer to have my opinion in private?” he asked. Mr, I began. Tabor was lovking older than I had ever seen him. “Your opinion means a great deal to all of us, Doctor,” he said. Reid stopped a moment in his pacirg. “Well, my opinicn is not quite positive, because I have not certainly all the facts. That is the fault with all our opinions, that we never can base them upon wholly coinplete data. Mrs. Tabor we have thought insane, and there was much to bear that out. So if I had been cer- tain that al) her illusions proceeded from within her own mind, I should have said that it was surely so. But now Mr. Crosby makes known to us this external sug- festion of the spirits, with its continual reminding of her trouble and the unnatural strain. -He argues also— #'d iam not at all certain but that he argues rightly— thet Ahis. practice, this superstition of hers, may he the ease of her deterioration, so that by removing it she will grow better or perhaps well. ts it so far clear?’ “Quite go, exactly,” Reid broke in. “Perfectly clear, Decter, perfectly.

Fixed idea, unnatural crav- ing for communication with the the other world, because the mind is unbalanced by loss.” “! think that is to place the horse after the wagon, as we say It is certainly a vicious circle, put still” de yee exclaimed Reid, “but the impulse comes” — Ir Paulus hgld up a white hand. “Wait a little. I do fet come to conclusions hastily. Now I conclude that Mrs..Tabor is thus far no more than hysterical, and what we have to do ig first to remove entirely from her this ruperstitious influence.” The shrill voice took suddenly ‘a Sharper edge. “Moreover, Dr, Reid, I will say to yu tiat only two other men in the world know more than ] knew of my specialty, and of those unfortunately neither one is here.” He waited until Reid subsided ints a seat, then went slowly on: “Now the quistion is how this harmful belief is to be remaoyed, and that is the dif- ficult matter.” “If she were in a scanatorium”—— Reid began. “She'd worry herself to pieces,” Lady interrupted; and Dr. Paulus nodded ‘heavily. She’d feel imprisoned, an? imagine and brood and worry, and the atmosphere of impersonal restraint would make her worse. We can «ut least help to keep her mind off herself and make her cheerful.” “We can prevent from now on, communication,” said Mr. Tabor. “But the trouble’s inside her own mind,” Reid snapped; and the shrill voice of his colleague added: “That is partly true, so far as she has now hallhucina- tions and re-creates her own harm. held her from seeking harm elsewhere, that is somthing; but still even so she feels restraint, and still her misbe- lief goes on. If we could reach that—but how to make her not thus believe?’ He fell silent, and the white hand began its drumming again. I felt irritably that he was I think, any further Suppose then we be a shock, a violent shock, a dangerous shock. N° sense at all in it. Melodrama isn’t medicine.” “I am not so gure,” said Dr. Pauius. “It is unusual and what you call theatrical, but my work is unusual and many times theatrical also. I have need fo act much of the time with the patients. With the individual mind one must use each time an individual cure. This at least strikes at the cauSe of the trouble, and might succeed. With your permission, Mr. Tabor, we will try it.” “But her heart, man, her heart,” objected Reid, “what about her heart, and the shock?” “Well, we can dare, I think to risk that. Every opera- tion ig a risk that we judge wise to take, and this is a malignant misbelief to be eorgeee, There will be no unreasonable danger.” “If we can somehow get this medium out here’— said Mr. Tabor. “That I shall manage, to bring her tomorrow afternoon, telling her perhaps of a private sitting in the interest of science. I am not often so mucn away, but this case is of importance.” He rose, and looked at his watch. “Is not that the motor-car now at the door?” On the step he turned to me with his quizzical smile. “It is perhaps well for us all to have your mind stimv- lated, Mr. Crosby. young lady.” He looked abruptly from me to the mid- night sky. “It appears, if I do not mistake, that we shall have rain,” he chirped. “Good night,” and he stepped gravely into the limousine and closed the door with a slam, CHAPTER XXV. FIGHTING WITH SHADOWS. \ HE morning came dark and stormy, with a Septem- ber gale driving in from the Sound, and the trees | lashing and tossing gustily throvgh gray slants st rain. It was so dark that until nearly noon we kept the lights burning: and through the unnatural morning we sat about Hstlessly, unwilling to talk about the impending crisis and unable to talk long of anything else for the unspoken weight of it upon our minds. Mrs. Tabor kept her room, with Sheila and most of the time Lady busy with her. night before, save as a vague shock; and physically she was less weakened by it than might have been expected; but her mind wavered continually, and she confused with her hallucination of Mariam the identity of those about her stared restlessly out of the rain-flecked windows. Tabor and I began a game of chess. It was well on in the afternoon when the automobile came in sight, swishing through the sodden grayn.’ss with curtains drawn and hood and running-gear splashed with clinging clots of clay. None of us knew who saw it first; oniy that we three men were at the door tcegether encouraging one another with our eyes. The medium greeted us with a gush of curessing politeness, glancing Mr. “covertly among us as she removed her wraps, and brac- ing herself visibly beneath her unconcern. It was she who made the first move, after Dr. Paulus had introduced us and we were seated in Mr. Tabor’s study behind closed doors. —* “Mr. Crosby is the genticman who turned the light on me last evening,” she said I wish I could express the undulating rise and fall of her inflection. It was aimvst as if she sang the words, “Of course with him present I would not be willing to do anything. It was very ,ainful, besides the risk. a dreadful shock like that.” “I shall not be in the room,” I answered, “and I'm sorry to have caused you any discomfort, Mrs. Mahl. We needed the light, I thought.” “Oh, it wasr’t the pain;” she smiled with Jifted eyes. “We grow :o used to it that we don’t consider suffering. It was very dangerous, waking one out of control sud- denly. You might have killed me, but of course you weren't aware.” She turned to Dr. Paulus: “You under- stand, Doctor, how it, is, how it strains the vitality. The gentleman didn’t realize.” mS We had become, at the outset, four strong ren leagued against an appealing and helpless woman Perhaps I should say three; for Dr. Paulus did nog seem impressed. “Yes, I know,” he chirped. “We need not, however, consider that. You are here, madaim, as 1 have told you, for a scientific experiment under my direction Mr. Cros- by will not be in the room. With your permiss on, I will now explain the nature of that experiment. ‘There is in this house a lady, a patient of mine, Mrs. Tabor, who has for some time frequently sat with you. She has on these occasions habitually conversed, as she believes, with the spirit of her daughter Miriam that is some years dead.” * “That is our greatest work.” She was not looking at Dr. Paulus, but at the rest of us. ‘To be able to soften the great separation. You others hope for a reunion be- yond the grave, but we ourselves know. If you could only believe—if you could realize how wonderful it is to have communion with your’— “We shall not go into that,” said Dr. Paulus. “Mrs. Tabor. as I said, believes. She is therefore in a hysterical condition to which you have largely helped to contribute. I do not say she is insane; she is not.. But I do say she stands on the parting of the ways, and that, to save: her find, or as it may be, her life, it is necessary that these unhealthy conversations shaN cease.” The medium looked now at Dr. Paulus. “The poor woman! Isn’t it terrible? But you know, I can’t be- lieve. Doctor, that the sittings do anything but soothe and comfort her. It can’t be that you think her insane just because she believes in spiritualism? You believe too much yourself for that.”7 Dr. Paulus looked at her steadily. “I have told you plainly that she is not insane yet,” he said. He had been shuffling his That is a beautiful and intelligent She seemed hardly to remember the . The rest of us talked and read by snatches, and lousness in it, for with her mind clean ef euch pileaiit she shall recover.” “Would you M&ve me lie to her even for her good The woman was either a wonderful actress or a more wonderful self-deceiver. She turned to Mr. Tabor ap- pealingly: “How can I deny my own faith? Do you think the truth can ever be wrong?” Mr. Tabor went suddenly purple. “If it ts the truth,” he growled, “it's a truth out ef hell, and we're going to fight it. But it isn’t.” — Not in. the least disconcerted by her false move, she turned back to Dr. Paulus. “Doctor,” she said, dropping her air of martyrdom and speaking more incisively than I had yet hedrd her, “you are the one who knows. These gentlemen do not understand. You know that there are mysteries here that your science can’t explain, what- ever you think about them. You khow the difference between my powers and the fakes of a two-dollar ctair- voyant. You know it in spite of yourself. Now tell me how you can reconcile it with your conscience, to bring me up here to listen to such a proposal as this?” The alienist’s Napoleonic face hardened, and. his volce took a shriller edge. “We shall not go into that,” he gaid. “And now we will make an end of this talking. You are partly sin- cere, but you are charlatan also. I have seen all the records, and I have attended your sittings, and I have all the data, you understand. And I have my position, 80 that people listen to me. You have done tricks, once, twice, many times, and I have all the facts and the dates. So. You will do as I say, and I will remember that you are part honest. Or, otherwise; if you will not, then I expose you altogether, publicly.” “You can say anything you like,” she retorted coolly. “I don't care a bit. Just because you're a big doctor, you needn't think I care. Folks are so used to you scientific men denying everything, that when you sup- port us it helps, and when you attack bs it don’t matter. }:u think your little crowd of wise ones is the whole carth,. My clients have faith in me. Go ahead, and ex- pore all you want to.” “Wouldn't it be wiser to make friends of wus?” Tabor asked slowly. “well make you a by-word.” sputtered’ Reid. wwe’ 1 run you ow! ot the count: That’s what we'll do, we'll rum scu cut of the cami > She smiled: “All right, Doctor. Run along.” Then rising to her feet again, with a sweeping gesture, “Say what you will, all of you,” she cried tragically, “ I defy yeu!” And she marched over to the door. “One moment, Mrs. Mahl,” said lL “The man who was with me at your sittings was a reporter, the only one there. If I say so, he'll scare-head you as a faker—in letters all across the front page. You won't be a serious imposter, or have the strength of a weak cause. We won't attack you and give you a chance to defend your- self, but we'll trake a nation-wide mock of you. You'll be a joke, with comic drawings.” “You're trying to biuff me,” she sneered. Then al) at once, her coolness gave way, and she flung herself around upon us in a flood of tears: “You're a nice crowd of men, aren't you?” she sobbed, “to make a dead set on one woman this way!” She came swiftly up to me, and caught my hands, leaning against me with upturned face. “Did you see anything wrong at my sittings? Have you nvthing against mie, that you'd swear to, yourself?” “Not a thing,” I answered. “What of that?” “Then you'd lie about me?” I could feel the hurry of her breathing, ‘I would,” satd I, “with the greatest pleasure, in every paper in New York.” I stepped back. “Excuse me, I'm going to telephone.” ⸗ She looked around at the others with the eyes of a cornered cat. Then she dropped back into her chair. “Very well,” she sniffed, “I'll do it. I'll deny my faith to preserve my usefulness. And God will punish you.” The granite face of Dr. Paulus relaxed into a grim smile. “The press, weapon.” Mrs. Mahl, having finally yielded, was not long in re- covering from her emotion; and while Mr Tabor went to bring his wife, the two doctors rapidly discussed the precise needs of the case, and with the medium's asg- sistance formulated a plan of action. I am bound to say that she entered into the scheme as unreservedly as though it had been from the first her own: suggesting eagerly how this and that detail might best be managed, and showing a familiarity with Mrs. Tabor’s trouble, and with nervous abnormality in general, hardly less complete and practical than theirs. Presently we heard the voices of the others in the hall, and she went quietly out to meet them. Then came a confused blur of tones, Mrs. Tabor’s in timid protest and Sheila and Lady in re- assurance; then Mr. Tabor, a little Jouder than the rest: “Not in the least, my dear. Way should I? You should have told me all about it from the first.” Then the voices grew quieter, and at last blunted into silence be- hind the heavy curtains of the living room. We waited ah interminable five minutes gazing into one another's rigid faces, and hearing .only the restless movement of Reid. At last, Dr. Paulus nooded at us, and we tipt«s:4 noiselessly across the hall to where around the edges of the close-drawn curtain we could hear and see. At a little card table, drawn out into the center of the floor, sat Mrs. Tabor and the medium, face to face. Be- tween them and beyond the table was Mr. Tabor; Lady sat on her mother’s nearer side, and Sheila, with her back to us, completed the circle. They were all leaning forward intently, something in the attitude of people saying grace befor’ a meal. The wwindows were not covered, but the dull light of the late and stormy after- noon came inward only as a leaden grayness, in which faces and the details of the surroundings were heavily Mr. in America,” said he “That ig @ fine the most deliberate man in the world. : “See here,” snapped Reid.

That's the whole question.” The medium had risen, and was lookfng for her hand- kerchief, eyeing Reid with meek fearlessness. “Of course, I'm used to this,” she murmured, “but not among educated people. A few centuries ago, Doctor, your pro- fession was regarded tn the same light. I don’t imagine we can have anything in common.

It was so terribiy important and at the same time such a tawdry practical joke. “Miriam, what are you saying?’ Mrs. ‘Tabor was lean- ing forward toward the sound, her face tense and fright- ened. — “Oh, anything I please—it's quite easy—Don’t yeu be- gin to understand?” “Ch, what do you mean? herpening?”’ The medium never stirred, nor moved a muscle of her face, as the spirit-voice replied: “Just the same thing that’s happened right along, Mrs. Tabor. Don't you see row? You were always so sure that any voice could do four you to recognize. You've laid yourself open to it.” Mrs. Tabor looked for the first time as one might who lisiens to the dead. Her voice frightened me, it was 30 ealin. * “What do you meant“ she said monotonously. I saw Reid move as if to part the curtain, glancing sherply at Dr. Paulus as he did s0; but the older man’s mouth was a bloodless line, and he ghook his great head, whispering: “Not vet, Reid; not yet.” os “Listen,” said the voice. “Here's what you call Miriein talking.” Its tone changed abruptly: “Now here's m2 I’m Going it.” The medium rose quietly from her chair, .and stepped out iato the room: “The whole thing's just —a trick,” she said, shifting from one voice to the other In alternate phrases. “You believe in—ghests—and so t rave you—what you believe.’’ She came around the table. “Do you understand now?’ Sheila was sebbing aloud, but none of the others seemed to notice her. Mrs. Tabor sat for an instant ase if fresen, staring vacantly in front of her. Then as the medium ap- proached, she shrank away suddenly with a childish cry .f fear. “It isn’t trvwe'” she cried. “It isn’t true!’ an] the swung limply forward upon the little table, and lay still. , Lady and Mr. Tabor were beside her in an instant, as ‘ve three sprang forward into the room. Sheila wae on ‘ier feet, muttering, “You've killed her, ye brute beasts’’— Liut a look from Dr. Paulus silenced her, as we waved the rest of us back and bent over the unconscieus wom- an, his broad fingers pressed along the slender wrist. For a moment we watched his face in silence,‘as if it were the very face of destiny. Then the canary gave x sudden shrill scream, and fluttered palpitating into @ cor- ner of its cage, beating So violently against the wires that tiny feathers floated loosely out and down. Th? medium whispered: “Oh, my God!” and scringed side- long, raising her arms as if one struck at her. And my hair thrilled and my heart sickened and stopped, for even while she speke, a voice came eut of the empty air above eur heads; a voice like nothing that I had heard befors. a woman’s voice t!in and trem::lous, with a fragile reso- nance in it, as though it spoke into a bell. “Oh, mother, mother,” it wailed. “Why dont you Ie? me go and rest?” * Miriam! Mrs. Mahl, what is CHAPTER XXXVI. AND REDISCOVERING REALITIES. THINK Lady clutched at my arm, but I can not re- remember. The.one memory that remains to me of that moment is the face of Dr. Paulus. His color had “turned from ivory to chalk, his mouth was drawn open in a snarling square and his eyes shrank back hol- lowly, glaring into nothingness. For a second he stood s0, clawing in front of him with his hands, a living hor- ror. Then with an effort that shook him from head ¢ foot, the strong soul of the man commanded him.. “It's nothing,”” he whispered, “I understand it. Take hold of yourselves.” The hands dropped, and he bent over Mrs. Tabor. The next“mement Sheila had sprung out in front of us, and was speaking to the voice that we could not Bee, “Miriam Reid.” she eried, in a high chanting cadenc« between song and speech, “if it’s yourself that’s here, lis down to your rest again, an’ leave us. Go back to your place in purgatory. darlin’, till the white angels come to carry ye higher in their own good time. In the name av God an’ Mary, in the name of the Blessed Saints, go It is better that at first she sees only her own.” * -back! Go back to your home between heli an’ Heaven, an’ come no more among us here!” 4 “Get some water, Reid,” snapped Dr. Paulus. “Quiet that woman, some of you.” But Sheila had done before we could move or speak to her. With her last words, she flung her arms wide apart, above her head, and brought them inward and dewnward in some strange formal gesture. Then as swiftly and certainly as if she had planned it all frem the beginning, she caught a lHttle botcle from her breast, and sprinkled its contents in the upturned face of Mrs. Tabor. We caught hold of her just as she was making the sign of the cross. But she was perfectly quiet now, with nothing more to say or do, and steod mo*ionless like the rest of us, breathing deep breaths and watehing. The cool shock of the water did its work. Mrs. Tabor’'s eyelids quivered, #nd she gasped ‘fairtly. Reid came hur- rying back with a glass of water, «nd stood at the side of his superti«r. leoking foolishly; disappointed as he realized the anticipation of his errand. “She comes out of it all right,” Dr. Paulus muttered. “No harm. It is more the trance condition than an er- dinary faint.”” He looked up ai ~heila with a grim smile. “Superstition is a fine thing-—sometimes, wnder medical direction. Now I leave her to you, Reid, a few minutes. He to the medium, and the two went out of the Then as we stood about, Mrs. Tabor caught another breath, and another. Her hands greped a moment, ard her eyes opened. “She looke? around at us wonderingly. as we raised her ur: in her seat. “Theak Coed,’ said Lady softly. And Sheita answered from the other side: “The Saints he praised.” She sat quietiy for a litile time, l-oking about her. Lady had wiped the water from her face, and she seemed her naturel self again, the girlish color returning to ker cheeks and a certain bird-like vivacity._in her whole pose. Then, as if memory of a sudden returned te her, she crum; led over, hiding her tragic little face in her hands. Ste tezvan te ery softly at first in little sobbing, heart-broken gesis, which teek on gradually a weiling iptensity very dreadful to hear, ‘ Oh, my dear, my dear, my dear!” she repeated ever and over again, in a desolate and ceaseless iteratioa that grew into a horror and which alone we dared net stop. Pr. Paulus. we knew, must be within call eaaé li8tening. I think that all of us wondered why he dia net return; we resented this permitted continuance ef suffering. Finally it was Lady who made the first move amorg ws. She dropped -on her knees beside her mother, putting her arm tenderly about the convulsed littie form, and pressitg her check close against her mother’s own. “Mother, dear.” she whispered very softly. - A peuse care in Mrs. Tabor’s sobbing and she stretched ene hand half x= if to push Lady away, half as if te hold her as someithing real and tangible. “Where is the doctor” she asked. Evidentiy Dr. Paulus had bern listeniag, for at the murmured question. he stepped in and came across the room to Mrs. Tabor. She faced him shrinkingly, but nerved herself for the question. “Why have you taken her brokenly, at last. : Dr. Paulus’ face was very kind and very serious. he answered, “‘but all beckoned room together. from me?’ she aeked “I know that. now it seems 30,” that will for you pass away. It is not that we have taken the daughter that is dead away. For you see now, and you will understand how all that came only out of yourself, like a pictuie that you made of your own sor- row. It was in a circle, how you made by griv»ving this grief like a thing from outside coming to make you grieve the more, A circle that seems as well to begia at one point as at another, is it not so? And this cruel light so suddenly has made you see the tru> becinniag. So now it is all gone because you have known that it was never there at all.”” He moved his broad hands sud- denly as one waving away smoke. “There is not any longer for your that other world which never was, whick was a burden and a trouble always to you because it was made out of trouble. But this good worid you ‘heve again, and of that only the.gonod part, all your dear ones‘ here truly returned becauSe that evil nothing is gone from between. Is it. not so?’ She had been facing him like a creature at bay. silent and resisting, the horror in her strained little by little into desperation as he spoke. I do not know what he!lé us from interference, for the man was blindly totter'ng on toward a precipice, clumsily ignorant of the condition he must face; and every fatvous word grated like sana between the teeth. One hada desire to lay physical hands upon him. — “Doctor,’ Reid broke out, “for Go@s sake’— Dr. Paulus never turned his head. “Be still, man,” he said quietly, and Reid's voice died stammer as he went steadily on. “Tf it was cruel, this way to show you wholly the truth, so we must hurt once not to have te hurt more. young inte a alone. of the me ‘But it is better to have the truth now, it js not you have all thése that are living, and you will be again. @h, there is no miracle; all does not in a momen change. Now and then still you will hear the voices and see these things which are not. But you will know now that they are only of yourself, and so they will go away. This we understand in the good old story of casting out devils. And it is good to be sure that the daughter is at rest, from the beginning. I want you to understand it all very clearly. You have been sick, but yeu are going to’ be well, not well at once, remember but better day by day, and when discouraging days come I want you to remember this; that even when things seem confused and unhappy and unreal, yet it does not make any difference. For you have your loved ones about you and they will help and when things are bad ané@ you are a little afraid, you can cali for Dr. Paulus. I have never given my word falsely or for encouraging Time and these loved ones will help, but most of all your.ewn will will make your life what it should be, will bring you back to happiness.” It is impossible to describe the convincing strength as he stood towering among wus; the very cemapetient ferce of his individuality was reflected in the dawning belief in Mrs. Tabor’s eyes. Like a child she laid her little hand in the doctor's great one. *T am going-to try, Doctor,” she said. “I see that I have been sick, but with all you dear people [ shall get well.” And for the first time her eyes left the doctor's face aad turned te the rest of us who had drawn a little apart, but as they met mine their expression changed and a flicker of the old terror came into them, a terror that was refiected in my own heart. “Geerge,” she asked sharply, ‘‘what deing here?’ “Why, my dear’— Nr. Tabor stammered. “f! knew. I rememiader now.’ She struggled to her feet, and the old terror was upon her face. “I meant te telf you about it. Mr. Crosby has not been honest with us. I came into the room awhile ago and found him with Lady, and” She broke off suddenly, looking quickly from one to another of our startled faces. “What is the matter with yeu all?” she cried; then in that level, hollow tone we had learned to fear, “I see now. You know—you have known all along; and that was the se- cret you were keeping from me.” Me ome spoke. She looked downward at her hands, then gtanced again in a puzzied way from one to another ef us. Mr. Tebor was the picture of despair, old and white and worn, his whole strength shaken by the vision of eue final failure. Lady stood erect, her color coming and going, tragedy in her eyes: and near her Sheila, a gauat ad sturdy comfort, sure in the inherited wisdom of homely faith. And as I looked at these two women. each in her own way upheld beyond her strength of her understanding, I made my resolve. I glanced at Dr, Pan- lus, but he made no sign. If I must take the responsib‘- ity of an answer upon myself I determined that at the werst I would leave no issue of the fight unknown; if we had failed, we must measure the whole depth of our failure. “Mrs. Tabor,” I said, “there is no secret any more. Lady is going to marry me.” She gave me one look. “All that I had left,’ she whis- pered; and then again she began to cry, but this time softly, turning away from us toward the window at the end of the room. Sheila followed and put an arm abo:it her, and the two stood together apart from us under the fading light, while above their heads the canary burst out into a mockery of song: No one knew what to say or do; but after a little, Reid's itech for efficiency drove him into speech. “It all comes right down to this, mother”——— he be- gan. A look from Lady dried the words upon his tongue, and the silence fell once more. Then slowly and confi- dently Lady came over to me and slipped her dear hand into mine. “You are right, Laurence,” she said, “the truth is best for all of us now.” | “Mrs. Tabor,” said Dr. Paulus, “you do not lose your daughter, but gain, I think, a very good son. Indeed ‘t is Mr. Crosby who has helped us much_to our knowledge that you were going to be well and strong again.” The calm strange voice broke in at just the precise in- Stant to relieve the tension. Mrs. Tabor looked up. “Oh, you needn’t be afraid, Doctwr,” she said as she wiped away her tears, “but you do well to remind me. I know there's nothing really the matter with me except that I’m a little tired, And goodness gracio's, what are yon good people standing there so stiff and solemn for? It's all right! you’ve made me understand. Turn the lights on, Steila—and—Lady, what have you done with my ring?’ She came across to where we stood together, and tcok a hand of each in her own. She glanced over her shoulder at Paulus, “And you mustn't any of you think of going away this weather. The house ig big enough to hold us—and, Mr. Crosby, Im going to put you in Miciam’s room.” & THE END. is Mr. Crosby find the story that most astounding gentleman burglar, whose only e Sherlock Holmes of Conan Doyle.
