Err SEAT.
and Marion had played tennis and golf
together for two seasons. He had been
tempted to propose to her on the bay
itself one moonlight night, but Marion
was nervous and would not permit his
attention to stray from handling the
tiny sailbOat. And then he had put off
the proposal week after week. He felt
somehow that such a moment came
but once into a mans life, and he
dreaded to think Of the day when the
tender ALticipations would be a thing
of the past. Now he almost wished he
had let it end in happy dreams, for the
reality was stern beyond description.
The cause of their trouble seemed
serious enough to Marion, but from
Walters masculine viewpoint il was
ridiculously trivial.
The cousin of his roommate at col
lege was playing soubrette roles in
light opera. simultaneously with the
arrival of her company in Detroit came
a note from her cousin in New York
begging Fleming to be "kind to the
kid" while she was in town.
Fleming read the letter through sew
eral times and wondered what in the
world dear old Tom meant by being
kind. He couldn't invite t.N girl to
stop up at the house because it was too
far from the theater, and he had vague
ideas that theatrical folk preferred to
flock together. His mother and sisters
should go to CALL of course. Anyway,
he'd take Marion the first night. Even
a busy sOubrette ought to appreciate the
opportunity of meeting such a rarely
charming girl as Marion. SO he sent
''the kid' roses exactly like those
Marion was to wear, and did not notice
the expression in his fiancees eyes
when the flowers were passed over the
footlights. There was a little supper
after the performance, chaperOned by
Mrs. Fleming, at which the little
actress wore a very plain black gown
with a very long train and carried
Walters roses.
The next day was set aside for o
drive through the parks, followed by
luncheon at a fashionable cafe. "The
kid" who had never seen the beautiful
city of Detroit before, waxed enthusi
astic, but Marion remarked that she
had an engagement and would have to
be excused. Mrs Fleming, who was a
busy woman, told her son next morning
at breakfast that an actress did not
require a chaperon.
So the little soubrette, who was really
a Woodworking. ambitious artistic and
was likewise engaged to a young stock
broker in New York, "did' Detroit in
Walters company for five brilliant
winter days. They talked of their re-
spective fancees and each decided that
luckier mortais did not breathe. And
when Walter had done his duty like a
man, even to seeing the little actress
off on the midnight train for Mime
apolis, he sighed relievedly and never
dreamed Of the awful fate which his
next interview with Marion held for
him.
There was only one floor between
him and the girl who was leaving
town today with bitterness in heI
heart, yet there seemed no way OF
passing the barrier.
"Going DOWN. yelled the elevator
ooy.
Walter, hat in hand, made a dash
fer the corridor. AS the elevator dool
slammed shut he found himself face t.
face with Marion. She was pale, plain
ly tired from the exertion incident t.
moving, but she looked over his head

Now and again there is an item in the

of a mother who in weakness and misery

the Americans.
The whole trouble in the Phil

harsh enough with the natives" he
said. ''rhe Filipinos cannot under

Rice said that he never heard of
cases in which he considered that
cruelty was shown by the American
soldiers or officers. He also says that
the famous water cure is nothing
particular terrible and that he has
seen II administered in fun to friendly
natives about Manila who took the
proceedings in good part and cher
ished no anger AGAINST the doctors"
