IND Loder dined with Lillian
IA Astrupp. We live In an age
H when society expects, even ex-
acts. much. He dined, not
through bravado and not through cow
ardice, but because it seemed the OBJ
vious, the only thing to do. To him a
scene Of any description was distaste-
full. To Lillian 1t was unknown. In
her world people loved or hated, were
spiteful or foolish, were even quixotic
or dishonorable, but they seldom made
scenes. Loder tacitly saw and tacitly
accepted this.
Possibly they ate extremely little
during the course of the dinner and
talked extraordinarily much on sub
jects that interested neither, but the
main point at least was gained. They
dined. The conyentionalities were ap-
peased. The silent, watchful servants
who waited on them were given no
food for comment. The fact that Lo-
der left Immediately after dinner, the
fact that he paused on the doorstep
after the hall door had closed behind
him and drew a long. deep breath OF
relief. held only an individual signifi-
canoe and therefore did not count.
On reaching Chilcote's house he pass

Loder rose and took the letter,
quick thrill of speculation and interest
sprinGing across his mind. During his
time of Punishment he had followed
the political situation with feverish at
tention, insupportably chafed by the
desire to share in it, apprehensively
chilled at the thought of Chilcote's pos
sible behavior. He knew that in the
comparatively short interval since par

had marked the Russian occupation Of
Meshed, but he also knew that Fraide
and his followers looked askance at
that great powers amiable attitude.
and at sight Of his leaders message his
intuition stirred.
Turning to the nearest lamp, he tore
the envelope open and scanned the let

Toned writing and opened with kind
~ rebuke for his desertion of him since
the day OF his speech; then hmm ediate-
~ and with characteristic cIearpess it
opened up the subject nearest the writ
er's mind.
Very slowly and attentively Loder
read the letter, and, with the extreme
quiet that with him invariably covered
emotion. he moved to the desk, wrote
note and handed it to the waiting
servant. As the man TUNED toward
the door he called him

many indolent people, she possessed q

triumph over Chileote was obtained,

How Williams Got a Gift.

A quarter of century ago there
lived in a Western village a gentle
old man subsisting on a meagre sala-
ry. One day he learned that his BROTH
er had died in San Francisco and left
him fortune Of $50,000,000. The
transition was staggering, especially
so since it was followed by a shower
Of appeals for money from every
quarter of globe and from persons
known and unknown to him.
His son, who acted as his secretary,
noticed with regret that the father
seemed unable to grasp the meaning
Of his new power, and was glad to
have him at last evince little inter-
est in one Of his begging letters. It
proved to be from Williams college,
asking an endowment on the plea that
the old mans birthplace was near the
institution.
''I'd like to do something for that
school," said he, meditiatively.
''Well, I would, father, if I were
you," his son encouraged him.
~ believe I will.' The old mans
ardor kindled. II believe I will give
them something handsome''
$50 you should," the son pursued.
"Why not?" !
II will. I'll give them''-he
thought for a moment-':I'll give
them $1OO.'

Senator Foraker was contradlctlng
certain statement.
"Though this is firm contradic-
tion," he said, II want it to be a
pleasant ard polite one. It is not
necessary, when men tell falsehoods,
to call them liars and club them over
the head. Their error can be pointed
out in neater and more graceful ways.
For instance:
"In a small town in Indiana a
group of drummers were assembled.
They sat in the reading room Of the
country hotel. On the aimsy hotel
paper they had finished writing to
their firms with the lumpy ink and
the rusted pens which the hotel man
agement provided, and now, with
newspaper reading and desultory talk
they whiled away the tedious evening.
