The name of Alan Dale is so we'll

Girl Who WROTE is one of the
strongest stories of newspaper and
theatrical life that has ever been
printed It throbs with the actuaIi-
ties of life and the characters stand
forth as living and breathing human
beings in sharp contrast to the usual
creations of latter day authors.
Mr.. Dale has been so long familiar
with the doings of newspaperdom
and. the actor-world that he knows
whereof he writes, and it is with no
uncertain hand that he paints these
startling pictures of realism. His
plot finds its motive in the strongest
. Of human emotions and passions.
There is not a page where the inter
est is allowed to flag and his work
has this additional charm that it
gives a striking pen picture of a
phase Of life known intimately by

not merely of her husband but also of

law sits you should stand Obey her
orders quickly. Rise early in the morn

care to make no noise to waken her.
Hasten to prepare her toilet articles
retire and prepare for tea. Take 1t to
her quickly and cheerfully, and then
arrange the breakfast table. Place the
chopsticks straight, boil the rice soft,

great one desires to sleep, spread the
bed, when she may peacefully rest and

"Name it.

"Done."
They Immediately set out. The tor
toise knew that If he gained the victory
it must be by great diligence; he must
never pause or turn aside; he must
strike a bee line and not permit himself
TO be distracted. SO he crawled along,
intent only upon one thing
the goal
The hawk, on the contrary, knowing
what an easy task was before him,
made sport of the contest. He circled
in the air, ascending into the clouds,
descending TO earth again, sailing, soar
ing giving himself up TO the pleasures
of flying here, there, everywhere. He
visited one acquaintance after another
and had good laugh ut the tortoise
Finally so much time had been wasted
that when he came within sight of the
winning post the plodding, earnest tor
toise had just reached the goal.
Moral.-Tbe tortoise won the race
but the hawk had all the fun.
