En1ierants
From Bohemia
BY EPES W. SARGENT

Jack Thurston gazed curiously across
the little table at the young woman
that Carl, the presiding genius of the
Skye Terrier, with muttered apology,
had seated opposite him. Time was
when the Skye Terrier could afford
table to every guest. Now it was diff
cult to get even a seat.
1t was the first time that Thurston
had ever seen really pretty woman at
the Terrier. 1t was novelty. His
soup grew cold as he watched and adj
mired. She was clearly timid, but bore
herself SO well that even with the IL
cense afforded by the supposed boz
hemian tendencies of the place she was
well on toward the quarter section Of
Ice cream and he had lit his third
cigarette before he spoke.
She regarded him with absolute ter
ror for moment when he made some
trivial remark, Tipping the ashes from
his cigarette as he did so to cover his
own confusion, but Thurston had a
face to inspire confidence, and falling
into the spirit of the thing commu-
nifty Of interest soon ripened the ac-
quaintance.
Both had come from small country
newspapers to engage in Journals

What Pipe smokers nave 10 rear
Those who use the pipe have to fear
epithelioma, otherwise called the can
Ger of the lips and Of the tongue. The
first Of these is particularly common
among those who smoke short clay
pipes. The cancer Of smokers shows
itself generally at the point where the
stem Of the heated pipe is carried upon
the lower lip. That of the tongue ap-
pears on the side where a stream OF
smoke Is likely to strike the tongue at
each inhalation. These two forms OF
a horrible disease are without doubt
the most serious that smokers can meet
with. It ia the fear Of these formida-
BILE accidents that has converted many.
The frequency Of them, however,
should not be overrated Statistics
alone can give us an idea Of the truth.
Those Of the city of Paris show that
there are 1856 cases each year OF deaths
caused by cancer OF the mouth, while
the number Of smokers In Paris itself
estimate to be at least e55,00O. Ad-
hitting that half Of these make use OF
the pipe and that all Of the cases OF
cancer can be attributed to them, there
IL but one victim to every thousand
pipe smokers. Revue des Deuz

stroll hcmeward the best promise
Thurston could get from her was that
when fortune came to both she would
marry him.
Beyond a warmer handclasp when
they met and parted no allusion was
made to the incident for several weeks.
Jack was polite and saw that cam
palgn was necessary. A coup would
not avail. The forces were too evenly
matched. According to military STRAIT
egg, siege was necessary.
He induced her to change their res
taurant. The society people and those
who constitute the under crust had fol-
lowed the space writer's to the Ostrich.
The nanny had grown rich, and with
her increased position came the belief
that she was losing money, running
accounts which never would be paid
by those who had virtually created the
place.
The new Bohemia was located In
Blocker street. The proprietor had
an Italian name, and they drank log
wood Chianti at 10 cents pint and
tried to like it. At the Ostrich the
cooking at least was clean. Here moth
ing was. The hot summer days had
come. Luigi was fighting the ice trust
ut the expense Of his patrons, who ac-
counted themselves fortunate II half
the dinner was eatable.
Mabel wanted to change, but the bo-
hemians had not yet moved on. Thurs
ton noted the fact with satisfaction
and encouraged Luigi to persevere,
even going to the extent of writing up
the place while he paid his bill.
One August evening the revolt came.
| The soup was thinner than Croton wa
ter. The fish fairly appealed to the
board Of health for investigation. The
entree was worse, the roast hut little
| better, while the inevitable ice cream
was half melted and utterly without
flavor. Mabel's best story had come
back that afternoon. She was sick and
discouraged.
Their table was in little nook free
from observation. She let her head
drop forward on her hand. Thurston's
hand stole softly toward her own. II
was convulsively clasped as a tear
dropped on it.

it about time you gave this sort OF
thing up? You have lived eight months
in Bohemia. You see what an empty
farce it all is. Let's 60 out and gel

we will have real breakfast. W.

credit. We aren't real bohemians
dear. Let's go back home"
An energetic nod Of the head al
swered the question, and Mabel locke
up, smiling through her tears.

scented by a fifteen dollar week job

Both had decided to become bohe-
mians, and as all the newspaper art-
Giles they had ever read located Bohe-
mia in the cheap table d'hotes they
had picked out the Terrier, which just
at that moment was affording free
food to the space writer's who gave
their attention to establishing reputa-
tons for tenth rate cafes. This was
located on the east side and was sufti-
GENTLY dirty to commend 1t to the
seeker after the unreal.
Her name, she told him, was Mabel
Evaline Manton, but she signed M. z.
Manton in q mannish hand to the tales
she submitted to the magazines and
sought to be mannish, as all bachelor
| girls should be.
She fairly hungered for companion
ship, and each evening (Thurston
worked on an evening paper and was
off the early shift at o'clock found
them at the same table In the Terrier.
Here she brought her manuscript for
revision. here he told his hopes and
fears. When the influx of novelty seek
ing society grew oppressive, they
moved on to the Blue Ostrich, In
Thompson street, conducted by an old
! black nanny, who gave them Mary,
land chicken instead Of goulash and
corn pone instead Of bread sticks.
They were going home one night
about six months after their first meet
ing when Thurston proposed. His sal
ary had been raised So week, and II
the pride of wealth he told her that III
thought that with economy he coult
undertake the support Of family, Il
only she would consent. He was |
manly, straightforward fellow, and hi
avowal of love was the sort that woult
appeal to any good woman. They hat
been walking uptown and were resting
on one Of the benches in Washington
square.
She regarded him wistfully TO
awhile Her face went first white
then red. Thurston, eagerly studyin
!. her expression, was torn between es
| ultation and fear. A tremendous VI

' struggling with some intruder, and tn
J conflict was sharp.
