Saturday Evening Post-In his
Autobiography Herbert Spencer tells
how his friends picked out a girl fol
him TO marry, and how he was not at
tracted TO her because she was ''toc'
intellectual" He goes on to explain
that by this he means she had "a
small brain in a state of intense
activity" What an admirable descrip-
ton this is of many tiresome and re-
pellent wonderland men. The
physically fussy are bad enough; but
those little-minded people with few
facts, usually not especially interest
ing, sizzling and bubbling-how we all
fly from theml They are the people
who take a course at college to heart.
If they are women they do not marry
easily, and, when they do, their hus-
bands have an expression that moves
their friends to commiseration. II
they are men they move through life
viewing the backs of their fleeing
fellows. The moral of this is-if you
know that you are very, very wise and
superior have pity on the ignorant and
common herd of your fellow-mortals
and keep your knowledge a profound
secret

He made application to enter a cavalry
regiment. The authorities at the War
Office have refused his request. The
reason given is that Stern has only
one year to serve and that it is i'm
possible to form an efficient cavalry
man in less than three years. This
incident is believed to establish new
record in the working of red-tapeism.

CHAPTER Viii.
young girl,

The face at the window as that Of
a young girl of about two and twenty.
Ii would be hard to say whether
Stephen Davenant was pleased or an
noyed by this apparition. That he was
surprised there could be no doubt, for
he almost dropped the candle in his
establishment, and fumbled at the lock
of the window for some moments be-
fore he could open it.
Laura" he exclaimed, "can it be
you? Great Heavens! Impossible!"
With a little gasp of relief and sup
pressed excitement, the girl stepped
into the room, and leaned upon his
arm. painting with a commingling OF
WEAKNESS and fear.
my dear Laura" he said, still hold
ing the candle, "how did you come
here? why"
ooh, Stephen, is it really you? l
was afraid that had made some mis-
take-that / had come all this way"
'You do not mean to say you have
come all the way from London alone
alonei"
Yes, I have come all the way
from London. Do not be angry with
me. Stephen IL could not wait any
longer. 1t seemed so long! Why did
You leave me without a word? I did
not know whether you were alive or
dead. Three weeks-think, three
weeks! How could you ID it?"
Hush! Hush! Do not speak so
loud" he whispered. Did anyone

tonight. l can't tell you all,
but will soon. Sit down, my darling;
I will not be gone a moment II any
one comes to the door, step through
the window and conceal yourself"
Unlocking the door noiselessly he
went out, turning the key after him.
Barely a minute elapsed before he
was in the room again.
Warm though the night was he put
on an overcoat and turned up the col
lar so that it hid the lower part of his
face.
Locking the door after him, he
came up to the table, poured out an
other glass Of brandy-and-water and
got some biscuits.
Come" he said, you must eat some
of these. Put some in your pocket.
And you must drink this, my poor
darling, or you will be exhausted"
She put back the glass and plate
from her with a gesture of denial.
81 could not eat" she said. Il do
not want anything, and | shall not be
exhausted. Let us go; this house
makes me shudder," and she moved to
the window and passed out
Laura, my dear LAURA" murmured
Stephen, in his most dulcet tones" why
are you angry with me?"
81 am not angry with you" she
said and the voice cold and con-
strained, did not seem the same as that
in which she had greeted him a quar-
ter of an hour ago. II am angry with
myself; | am filed with self-scorn."
my dear Laura" he began sooth-
ingly, but she interrupted him with a
gesture.
"You are quite right; / was wrong
to come. You have not said so in so
many words but your face, your eyes,
your very smile have told me so plain
ly."
"What have | said?''
Nothing" she answered, without
hesitation, and with the same air of
cold conviction. eff you had said
angry word had been harsh and an
noyed openly, and yet been glad TO
see me, could have forgiven myself
but you were not glad to see me. II
had been in your place-but I am a
woman. Don't say any more. Is the
station near?"
my dear Laura" murmured Stephen
for the third time, and now more
softly than ever, more must be said
I am anxious, naturally anxious, to
learn whether this-this sudden jour
ney can be concealed"
II was quite true he was anxious-on
his own account.

THE international TYPOS
ARE NOW IN CONVENTION
President Lynch Urges the Union to Stand for
the Eight Hour Day...Membership
of Union Growing Rapidly.

Especial Telegram TO Evening Teller)
ST. LOUIS Mo-, Aug. 9-The Inter-
national Typographical union, whose
fiftieth annual convention was formally
opened yesterday in the convention hall
at the worlds fair, got down to bust
ness in earnest today Officers reports
were presented and various questions
Of Importance to the craft were intro
duced and referred to the proper COM
mittees for consideration and action.
The reports Of the officers show that
the last year with the organization has
ben one of fair progress, marked by
three disastrous strikes but at the same
time by decided gains and successes.
OF the latter President Lynch said in
his annual report to the convention that
hours have ben reduced wrong elm
mated and difficulty avoided through a
careful observance of the law, patient
negotiation and international assist
ance."
President Lynch urged the union to
stand for the eight-hour day and sug-
gested that the present convention
take some decided action looking
toward the establishment of the eight

hour day. The president also called
attention to the arbitration agreement
between the International Topographic
cal Union and the American Newspa-
per Publishers association. entered into
at a joint meeting of representatives in
New York last October,an d recon-
mended that "if the agreement is to
live it's acknowledged shortcomings
shall be remedied.'
The report of the president also set
forth that not so much attention has
been paid in the last year to the or
ganization of new unions as has been
devoted to strengthening those in the
field. In spite of that fact, the report
showed that with one exception-the
fiscal year of 1902 19O3-the member
ship of the union has grown more rap
idly during the last twelve months
than ever before in it's history. The
average paying membership during the
year was 1928 more than it was in the
preceding year. The union had at the
end of the fiscal year, a cash balance
on hand of $36,357.62, as against a
balance of $49,17O for the preceding
year.
