Which Kind of an ASS,

Dean Van Amridge is one of the very
oldest of the old school and the sternest
figure in the Columbia faculty. A schol-
ar by profession, he was born soldier.
and the CLINT of his eye is in perfect ac
cord with his martial bearing, which
cap and gown can not wholly conceal.
The other day student, in the height
of freshman idiocy, burst into the
deans office with some request or other
on the end Of his tongue. The dean was
deep in work on philosophy, but the
verdant youth, without removing his
hat from his head, his cigarette from
his lips, or even his hands from his
pockets, kicked the ponderous door shut
with bang that ratified the windows
very much and the dean some. The
young mans name was Thomas.
"Sir!" cried the dean, "do you know
you're an ass?'
Eyes, sir-Thom- responded the
youth, suavaly.
mo, sir-jack-ass!' roared the dean.
and he turned again to his books.-New
York Times.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Pace slackens.

Steel lay s!eepily back in the cab,
not quite sure whether his cigarette
was alight or not. They were well in
to the main roa1 again before Bell
spoke.
"It is pretty evident that you and I
are on the same track" he said.
II am certain that am on the right
one" David replied; "but, when come
to consider the thing calmly, it seems
more by good luck than anything else.
I came out with you tonight seeking
adventure, and am bound to admit
that found it. Also, I found the Lady
who into rviewed me in the darkness.

suggestion of a laugh.
ooh! Case of the wrong room over
again. I was ready to swear to 1T.
was it that was so very much like
hers?"
"The lady's sister. Enid Henson was
not at 21s, Brunswick Square, on the
night in question. OF that you may
be certain. But It's a queer business
altogether. Rascality I can under
stand. I am beginning to comprehend
the plot of which I am a victim. But
don't mind admitting that up to the
present I fail to comprehend why those
girls evolved the grotesque scheme for
getting assistance at your hands. The
whole thing savours of madness"
IT don't think So" David SAID,
,houghtfully. 1.-The girls are romantic

The German "advanced" women de.
sire to follow the example of their col
leagues in Paris, and to break down the
barriers of custom in regard to the dcs-
ignation of FRAU" and ''Fraulein.' A
meeting was held last week in Berlin,
under the auspices of the association
for promoting the Education and Stud
les of Women, 20 discuss the knotty
question. A lady, who is doctor Of
law, defended the proposed innovation,
namely, that after certain age wo-
men. whether married or single, shall
be entitled to call themselves Frau
tMrs.) She insisted that it was unne-
cessary to ticket a woman with de-
scription Of her condition-as to wheth-
err she We're married or a spinster, espe-
cially seeing that, leg lilly speaking,
there was nothing to prevent q "Frau-
LEM calling herself Frau" The
speaker did not like the diminutive
form. "Fraulein,' for an elderly lady,
deeming it disrespectful to her advanc'
ing years, and cited the example of the
Et lin municipal council, which ad-
dresses a school mistress on her adj
vancement to the rank Of a first-class
teacher (Ober-Lehrein) as Frau" The
result Of the meeting was that all those
present We're requested to exert them
selves to the utmost to get the designa-
ton Frau" accepted among their ac-
auaintanoes as the rightful form Of adj
dress when speaking to lady of years
1t will be interesting to learn what is
the limit of age at which a Fraulein
ceases to be a Frau, irrespective of
marriage. This side of the topic was
wisely dropped, doubtless for fear Of
divergerces of opinion.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

close the window and regret that HE
i,npetuosity had not been more judi
ciously restrained.
Now, what particular thing was he
after?" he asked himself. "But had
better defer any further speoulations on
the matter until morning. After the
fright he had, my friend won't come
back again. And Tn just as tired as o
dog"
But there were other things the next
day to occupy David's attention besides
the visit of his nocturnal friend. He
had found out enough the previous
evening to encourage him to go further.
And. surely. Miss Ruth Gates could not
refuse to give him further information.
He started out to call at 219 Bruns-
wick Square. as soon as he deemed 1t
excusable to do so. Miss Gates was out.
the solemn butler said, but she might be
found in the square gardens. David
came upon her presently, with n book
in her lap and herself under shady
tree. She was not reading. Her eyes
warm greeting there was a tender
bloom on her lovely face.
''Oh, yes. got home quite right" she

And you?"
1T had a night thrilling enough for
yellow covers. as Artemus Ward says.
I came here this morning to throw my
self on your mercy, Miss Gates. Were
I disposed to do so, have information
enough to force your hand. But I pre-
fer to hear everything from your lips"
Ibid Enid tell you anything?" Ruth
faltered.
'Well. she allowed me to know great
deal. In the first place, know that she
had a great hand in bringing me to 2lS
the other night. know that 1t was you
who suggested the idea, and it was you
who facilitated the use of Mr.. Gates
telephone. How the thing was stage
managed matters very little at present.
1t turns out now that your friend aud
DR.. Bell and myself have a common
enemy"
Ruth looked up swiftly. There was
something like fear in her eyes.
"Have-have you discovered the name
of that enemy?" she asked.
Yes: know that our foe is Mr.. Reg.

"A lawyer, with penchant for bill
iards, had occasion recently to visit a
small town. While there, seeking to
pass his time, he found in his hotel a
new and excellent billiard table. Upon
inquiring If there was anybody about
who played, the landlord referred him
to one of the natives, who may be called
John Jones.
They played several games, but the
result was always against the lawyer.
He couldn't win.
"Mr. JONES'" he remarked. II have
quite reputation at home. They con-
slider me a good billiard player. But I
am far behind you. May I inquire how
long you have played:"
ooh. not long" replied the native.

CHAPTER XVIII.

David idly mixed himself some whisky
and soda water in the dining room,
where he finished his cigarette. He was
tired and ready for bed now. so tired
that he could hardly find energy enough
to remove his boots and get into the big
carpet slippers that were so old and
worn. He put down the dining room
lights and strolled into the study. Just
for a moment he sat there contemplate
ing with pleased, tired eyes the wilder
hess of bloom before him.
Then he fell into a reverie, as he fire.
quently did. An idea for fascinating
story crept, unbidden, into his mind.
He gazed vaguely around him. Some
little noise attracted his attention, the
kind of noise made by a sweeps
brushes up a chimney. David turned
idly towards the open window. The top
Of it was but family illuminated by the
light of the conservatory cleaning DULY
on the transparency over the glass.
But Davids eyes were keen, and he
could see, distinctly, mans thumb,
crooked downwards over the frame of
the sash. Somebody had climbed up the
telephone holdfasts, and was getting in
the window. Steel slipped well into the
shadow, but not before an idea had
come to him. He removed the rolledup
Rembrandt from the table and slipped
it behind row Of books in the book
case. Then he looked up again at the
crooked thumb.
He would recognize that thumb again
anywhere. 1t was fiat like the head Of
snake, and the nail was no larger
than pea-a thumb that had evidently
been cruelty smashed at one time. The
owner of the thumb might have been a
common burglar, but, in the light of
recent events, David was not inclined
to think so. At any rate he felt dis
posed to give his own theory every
chance. He saw a long, fustian-covered
arm follow the SCARED thumb, and a
hand grope all over the table.
Course mel" & foggy voice whispered
roarsely. 1T amt here. And the bloke
told me"
The voice said TO more. for David
grabbed at the arm and caught the
wrist in a vlcc-like grip. Instantly an
other arm shot over the window and an
ugly piece Of iron piping was swung
perlously near Steels head. Unfortun-
ntely, he could see no face. AS he
jumped back to avoid blow his GRASP
relaxed there was n dull thud outside
followed by the tearing scratch OF boots
ngairst wall and the hollow clatter OF
