Is woman allowed a voice in this discussion
about charming women? n I should like 10
take exception to your correspondents statement
that good women are not charming ones. I know

that she is not a rule. charming; but his

high ideals and earnestly strive 20 live up them
is thew take life too seriously, and In SO doing

She was in fact Il mystery She ar

maid came 4 few hours later by Il

was coiored woman of middle age

1t was "Whitey' Bowen. As ever. he
mad taken her advice by contraries. He
had walked back along the rails in the
drenching rain because she had told him
to go on.
At sight of him Mrs. Lorne screamed,

had narrowly missed the fatal gift OF
beauty spoken of by the old romancers.
Her face was spoiled by high. prom-

lips. She was not past thirty and
might have been believed had she
called herself twenty-five, except that

of only Il single serious falsehOOd in
which she was detected, yet long be

as | am aware, it was the same with
all who became acquainted with her i'll
Carlton, and this was no secret from
herself. She used to make a jest of it
while declaring that she was the most
truthful of women. Even Whitley"
Bowen, who was in love with her,
could not take her word
We called him Whitley" because of
his pale yellow hair and very light
gray eyes. He was Il handsome fellow
and wonderfully well built. His father
was Il Kansas farmer and was called
well to do, as we learned from the son,
but later developments proved that the
elder Bowen must have been bit OF a
miser and extremely reticent about his
affairs, for he was worth five times as
much money as the members of his
own household supposed. He had sent
Whitley" to the Ohio State university.
and the boy had made an excellent rec
ord in scholarship and athletics. The
father and son quarrcled in the sum-
mer following the young mans gradu-
alton. and Whitley admitted to me
that it was because he knew too much.

said he. Il couldn't he satisfied with
him as lie was"
Upon another occasion he was more
explicit and stated that the first grave
quarrel arose from his attempt 10 re-
form his fathers table etiquette. 1t
appeared that Bowen senior had the
knife and that he bitterly resented any
interference with his liberty in. this re
spect There were some hasty words
and suggestion that Whitley" would
better learn how to earn his food he
fore he set himself mp as an authority
on feeding, ana this was the trivial be-
ginning Of much sorrow. Whitley"
went forth from his fathers house;
but, unlike the prodigal of Scripture,
he carried no portion Of goods with
him. After brief wanderings he came
10 Carlton. where he eventually found
employment as Il brakeman for the
Santa Fe railroad
The schedule Of his toll gave him
most OF his leisure In Carlton. which
was not a good place for q young man.
Whitley" Bowen brought few bad
habits with him. II was indeed quite
unnecessary, for they could be acquired

TANGIER. MOROCCO, May 10
News reached here to-day that lon
Perdicaris and Cromwell Varley have
been kidnapped at their home three
miles west of Tangier by a band OF
Raisuli mountaineerS.
Perdicaris is the richest and most
influential man in Tangier- lie is
an, American citizen who studied art
in Paris, London and America. His
father was at one time American con-
sui at Athens.
Perdicaris is the leading member of
the Sanitary Board at Tangier which
is composed mainly of foreigners who
are trying to encourage attention to
public health He has been instru-
mental in securing many reforms,
including the betterment of the
prisoners and the reduction of the
practice of manning prisoners. He
has gained great power among the
Tancerine masses, so much so that in
many quarters he is called King OF
Tangier.s'
This popularity has reused the jeal-
ol1sy of government officials who may
have facilitated the kidnapping. Var
ley is an English friend who has been
associated with Perdicaris in several
enterprises.
varley is the step-son Of Periicaris-
This is but another instance of Mo
rocco,lawlessness Sucn acts are not
astounding, inasmuch as the ilidnap-
pers of Journalist Harris and the muir
derers of the servant of leading
European traveller at Tangier year
ago, still swagger through the Tangier
market place. Inc officials dare not
punish them.
