home telling of the glories and the pos
sibilities of the country, he ended up by
expressing the hope that his father would
send him enough money to buy ranch.
The delighted father complied at once,
and the next letter made a further re-
quest for cash to stock the ranch with
cattle.
After the industrious son had with his
companions got away with $4,000 the
father sent a cable dispatch saying that
he was coming to look over the ranch.
There was a lively time among the re-
mittance men when the dispatch reached
the son. He hesitated for a long time be-
tween flight and confession, but at last a
happy thought struck him.
He borrowed the use of a ranch from
friend for three days and awaited his
fathers arrival with the greatest equa-
nimity When the old gentleman came he
was driven out to the borrowed ranch
and entertained for the three days, his
devoted son never leaving his side
On departing the father gave the son
an order for $4,000 to show his appre-
citation of his reformed life. There was
general rejoicing as long as the money
lasted, but it went speedily in the usual
ways.
There are not wanting men who get al
lowances from home and who work hard
at ranching the year round save on the
day and the few days following the ar
rival of their money. Then they go to

ABOUT GORKY'S NEW NOVEL

THE mother sighed. He was right. She
herself knew that besides the tavern
there was no place where people could
enjoy themselves; besides the taste of
whisky there was no other qualification.
Nevertheless she said: But don't you
drink. Your father drank for both of you.
And he made enough misery for me. Take
pity on your mother, then, will you not?'
Listening to the soft, pitiful words of
his mother. Pavel remembered that in his
fathers lifetime she had remained UNI
noticed in the house. She had been silent
and always lived in anxious expectation
of blows. Desiring to avoid his father, he
had been home very little of late; he
had become almost unaccustomed to his
mother, and now as he gradually sobered
up, he looked at her fixedly
She was tall and somewhat STOPPING
Her heavy body, broken down with long
I years of toll and the beatings of her hus-
band, moved about noiselessly and in
clned to one side, as if she were in con-
slant fear of knocking up against some
thing. Her broad oval face, wrinllled and
puffy, was lighted up with a pair of dark
eyes, troubled and melancholy as those of
most of the women i'll the village. On her
right eyebrow was Il deep scar, which
turned the eyebrow upward a little; her
right ear. too, seemed to be higher than
the left which gave her face the appear
glistened in her thick, dark hair, like the
imprints of heavy blows Altogether s,
was soft, melancholy, and submissive
Tears slowly tricllled down her cheeks.
"Wait, don't cry!' begged the son in a
soft voice. Give me drink
"She rose and said, I'll give you some
ice water But when she returned he was
already asleep. She stood over him for
a minute, trying to breathe lightly. The
| cup In her hand tremltled, and the ice
knocked against the tin. Then setting the
cup ON the table. she knelt before the
sacred image upon the wall, and began
to pray in silence. The sounds of dark,
drunken life beat against the window
panes; an accordion screeched in the
misty darkness of the autumn night some
! one sang a loud song some one was
swearing with ugly, vile oaths, and the
excited sounds of women's lrritated,
weary voices cut the air.
From such dark beginnings the story
climbs to lofty heights with the growth
of a new soul in the boy and his mother,
the coming of a beautiful young revolu-
ZIONIST into her life, and tl.s entanglements
with the police and their spies. Altogether,
it is plainly to be one of the truly great
books of the year.

silly Society Customs.

The editor of Harper's Bazaar is dis
gusted with some of the foolish fads
which are creeping INTO society Writing
of them in the current Bazaar she says:
Society usually has for its small or
large social eXactions excellent reasons
founded on good taste and consideration
for others. Occasionally, however, there
are exceptions to this rule, and a por..
ton of the social community will take
up with zeal worthy of a better cause
absurd fads of conduct which not only
have nothing to recommend them, but
which may be positively mischevous in
their effects. The present fad of dis
pensing almost wholly with introductions
is one of these Recently it was carried
to such a degree in New York home
that not one of the guests at a large
luncheon was presented to the guest of

Immediately he writes out a prescription,

it will no doubt lose it's attraction for

There are a good many remittance men
