Springfield Republican: 1t is when
the pocket is touched that things be-
gin to stir. We might have gone on
kicking and abusing the Chinese to
the end of time, but for the iustitu-
tion of a retaliatory boycott in China
against American goods. Then our
business interests concerned In the
export trade to the Orient suddenly
falls under the dominion of humani.
tartan impulses, and appeal to the
President, and he becomes equally
stirred and turns to the secretary In
charge of immigration stations who
at once takes steps to soften the ad.
ministration of the exclusion laws.
What is now done is something which
ought to have been done without
waiting for the compulsion Of imme-
diate and pressing consideration of
business interest. The Chinese may
now conclude to give this weapon of
proved effectiveness wider swing
against the American exclusion pol
icy.
DRUNK FOR TWO YEARS.
Chicago Chronicle: 1t is interest.
ing to learn that the late Mr.. Gaskill
of Philadelphia, in his memoirs, de-
clares that he conceived his financial
coups when drunk and was absolutely
without intention when sober. AS
Mr.. Gaskill managed to steal $500, 900
in the course of two years we may
justly conclude that he was drunk
most of the time, circumstance
which will obviously offer encourage
ment to ambitious young men of bib
ulous tendencies.

SOCIAL IDEAS.
Contemporary Review, London :
The extravaganza and vulgarity of
modern society are due to many
causes, but none of them can be trac-
ed to the influx of colonials, at any
rate, from Canada to Australia. Of
South. Africans and Americans as
much cannot be said. The latter, in
particular, hold perhaps the cheap
est social ideal of any great people
of whom we have any record, for it
aims at nothing higher than "having
good time" Moved by it women
strive only to outdo one another in
dress, inventiveness and display.

Helena replaced the trumpet care
fully in its bracket, then leaned her
elbows on the table and laughed. The
one sensation Of which she was def
nitely conscious for the moment was
genuine amusement. She recalled her
dreams, her picture life with Give. and
felt fool; but she had always been
able to laugh at herself, and she did
so now. In little while she went into
the corridors where the guests were
dawdling after their morning drive.

been a vagary Of the fancy to this. Her
brain and her woman's instinct told
her unerringly that she had found the
man. Every part of her went out to
him. A faint sweet something tipped
her pulses. 1t is possible that passion
was regnant at this time; that she was
possessed by the savage primitive de-
sire of the first woman for the first
man; so far she had come in contact
with little beyond the mans powerful
personality and responsive magnetism.
Nevertheless there had been spiritual
recognition, blind and cropping as it
may have been; certain torpid instincts
stirred. and she OWNED vaguely what
a woman might be TO her husband
She had known many married women
more or less intimately, been the con-
fdant Of more than one liaison; and
with intuition fostered by such knowl-
edge and her own strong brain, she re-
joiced that she had met him in time,
divining something of the bitter sad
ness which companions woman who,
The San Francisco call., 1905-03-05

meeting q man too late, must be one
thing to him, instead Of twenty; his
wife would still have the better part
Of his life. his higher nature, his duty,
the supreme happiness Of making his
home.
She dreamed dreams Of her future
with Give; the love and the art by
which she would hold him, the COM
panionship. She forgot Mary Gordon's
would have imperiously dismissed the
very thought of her. She had obtained
what she wanted all her life and rec
ognized no obstacles.
She went up to the log by the creek
and touched caressingly the tree
against which he had leaned, gathered
some Of the ashes from his pipe and
held them in the hollow of her hand
She smiled as she did so and wondered
that clever women and silly women
should be so little dissimilar when in
love.
It was on the morning OF the third
day that the Chinese butler tapped at
her door and said
Mr.. Lollins wantee you at tele-
phone, missee.''
"Oh, tell somebody else to answer
him. / am tired Of the very sound of
that telephone. Some one is at 1t all
day. I've a great mind to have it

''Allight, missee',
A few moments later he returned.

room by the front door sacred to the
telephone. The fear shook her that

and assumed any attitude conducive to
comfort. Give tipped his chair back
against a tree and felt that 1t was his
duty to rejoice that Mary was not
present. Every man waited on himself
and on the guests of honor. Helena,
at the head of the table, had the one
servant constantly at her elbow. 1t
was her tendency to spoil the men she
liked, and she encouraged the Bohe-
mians in all their transgressions;
which was one of the many reasons
why they liked her better than any
other woman in California.
A course not pleasing her taste, she
called for her guitar and sang for them
a rollicking song of the bull-fight.
Give leaned forward on the table and
watched her: her nostrils expanded as
il they had the scent of blood in them;
She curled her lips under, clicking her

of the time in the forest, the rest in

the bare floor, table and several up

We're paneled with the beautiful deli

The ceiling was arched and heavily
beamed. The curtains OF doors and
windows, the deep chairs and ccuches,
the rugs on the dark door were OF
Smyrna stuffs whose only tangible
color was a red that was almost black.
A redwood mantel was built to the
ceiling; a large table Of the same wood,
heavily carved, was covered with books
and costly trifies. The deep window
seats were also upholstered. The Cas-
tilian roses nodded against the pane,
but Helena could look ABOVE the gar
den wall into the forest on the noun

And here Helena sat for hours. She.
was profoundly stirred and touching

She ruff1ed her hair with tragic lit

disappeared
1t was not long before the humor
died out of her. In its wake came the
profoundest depression she had ever
known. She looked into a blank and
colorless future, realizing that a wo-

hope, but that when her great joy has

Give drove over the next afternoon.
He sat some distance from Helena at
dinner, and afterward she and Mrs.
Lent played billiards with himself and

rest Of the evening was passed IN the
large liying-room, where Give listened

That is her affair. Besides, no one

The Chinaman left Give at the door
of the boudoir. The room was empty
and dimly lit The air was heavy with
the scent OF the roses beyond the win

The aisles were too black for shadows,
although the huge trunks were defined.
The mysterious arbors above sang
gently.
Helena came out of her bedroom
