Besides, we have our own duties to
get through" She smiled again and,
touching Loder's arm, indicated the re-
ception rooms.
When they entered the larger of the
two rooms Lady Bramfell was still
receiving her guests. She was tall
and angular woman who, except for
certain beauty OF hands and feet and
certain similarity of voice, possessed
nothing in common with her sister Lii
iian She was speaking to a group Of
people as they approached, and the
first sound OF her sweet and rather
drawing tones touched Loder with a
curious momentary feeling-a vague
suggestion of awakened memories.
Then the suggestion vanished as she
turned and greeted Eve.
How sweet Of you to conner she
murmured And it seemed to L0der
that more spontaneous smile lighted
up her face. Then she extended her
hand to him "And you, tool'' she add

turned from Eve to him and noticed a
colder tone in her voice as she address

exclaimed. "You defending your So
cial reputation" 2"
Loder laughed little. "The smaller
it is the more defending it needs" he
replied.
Another stream of arrivals swept by
them as he spoke. Eve smiled at their
hostess and moved across the room,
and he perforce followed. AS he gain
ed her side the little court about Lady
BramfeIl was left well in the rear, the
great throng at the farther end of the
room was not yet reached, and for the
moment they were practically alone.
There was a certain uneasiness in
that moment of companionship. 1t
seemed to him that Eve wished to
speak, but hesitated. Once or twice
she opened and closed the fan that she
was carrying, then at last, as if by an
effort, she turned and looked at him.
"Why were you SO cold to Bobby
Blessington? she asked. Doesn't it
seem discourteous to ignore him as
you didg'

ever become intimately close. He had
used the place for years, but he had
used it as he might use hotel, and
whatever of his household gods had
come with him remained, like himself,
on sufferance. His entrance into Chill
cote's surroundings had been altogeth-
er different. Unknown to himself, he
had been in the position of a young
artist who, having roughly modelled in
clay, is brought into the studio of a
sculptor. To his outward vision ey-
erything is new, but his inner sight
leaps to instant understanding. Amid
all the strangeness he recognizes the
one essential-the workshop, the atmos-
phere, the home.
On this first night of return Loder
compfehended something of his posi-
tion, and, comprehending, he faced the
problem and fought with it.
He had made his bargain and must
pay his share Weighing this, he had
looked about his room with a quiet
gaze. Then at last, as if finding the
object really sought for, his eyes had
come round to the mantelpieee and
rested on the pipe rack. The pipes
stood precisely as he had left them.
He had looked at them for long time,
then an ironic expression that was al
most smile had touched his lips, and,
crossing the room, he had taken the
Oldest and blackest from its place and
slowly filed it with tobacco.
With the first indrawn breath OF
smoke his attitude had unbent. With
out conscious determination he had
chosen the one factor capable of cas-
ing his mood. A cigarette is for the
trivial moments of life; cigar for its
ful6llments, its pleasant, comfortable
retrospections; but in real distress-in
the solving of question. the fighting Of
dificulty--a pipe is mans eternal
golace.
So he had passed the first night Of
his return to the actualities OF. life
Next day his mind was somewhat set
lied and outward aid was not so essen
tial: but. though facts faced him more
solidly, they were nevertheless very
drab in shade. The necessity for
work. that blessed antidote to ennui,
no longer forced him to endeavor. He
vvns no longer penniless, but the money

sires. When man has lived from

was the explanatory tone one might
adopt toward an incorrigible child.
Loder felt this, but the gist of a re-
mark always came to him first. its
mode of expression later. The fact
that it was Blessington whom he had
encountered-Ble Blessington to whom he
had spoken with vague politeness-
came to him with sense of unpleas
antness He was not to blame in the
matter, nevertheless he blamed him
self. He was annoyed that he should
have made the slip in Ewes presence.

her from every side; one woman lean

the sensation of futility and vexation

world. Then, as his feelings reached

The little man came up smiling and
with an outstretched hand. There's
no penalty for separating husband and
wife, is there, Mrs. Chilcote? How are
you, Chilcote?v He turned from one
to the other with the quick, noiseless
manner that always characterized him.
Loder turned aside to hide his vexa-
tion, but Eve greeted their host with
her usual self possessed smile.

had been dispersed, never again to re

He realized with bitter certainty
that his was no real home coming. On

mans character that sentimentalities
found no place in his nature. Senti-
ments were not lacking, though they
lay out of sight, but sentimentalities
he altogether denied.
Left alone in the sitting room after
Chilcote's departure, his first sensation
was one of physical discomfort and
unfamiIiarity. His own clothes, with
their worn looseness, brought no sense
of friendliness such as some men find
in an old garment. Lounging and the
clothes that suggested lounging had no
appeal for him. In his eyes the garb
that implies responsibility was SYM
bolic and even inspiring.
And as with clothes SO with his

IS a simple one of the punishment Of an

first time in fifty years the United States
has felt interested. but has allowed Mary

Of exercising its jurisdiction.
The action Of Attorney General Bona

absurd in attacking small community
Ike Glen Echo and putting it 10 the
expense Of defending itself in a case that
may drag through. the courts for three
years. This case Of Mr.. Lutz Is not a
Collins case, but Of the whole people of
this community. A dozen OF more citi-

as Mr.. Lutz made no defense l fined him
so, as It did not appear to me like a
case calling for leliency.
THE Maryland legislature and the Con-
gress of the United States will both be
In session in few weeks. Why not let
the legislature and the Congress pass
joint resolutions that will settle forever

Rockhiu has officially notified this gov
ernment of the appointment of Wu, but
no reply has been sent. indicating
whether the former minister is accept
able to this country or not Nor will
such message be sent until President
Roosevelt has been consulted on the sub
ject.
Strong influences have been brought to
bear to prevent this government accept

department itself hesitates. st is believed
In receiving again minister who, it is
considered, was almost asked to with
draw at a previous date
The Chinese government has never
asked a foreign government If a proposed
minister is acceptable. Such questions
are always asked by other countries in
the appointment of ambassadors. and
most countries do so in the appointment
Of ministers. The United States does not
ask for approval by the Chinese govern
ment of its minister TO China. Several
years ago, after Senator Blair had re-
signed from the Senate TO accept the ap-
pointment as minister to China. this gov
eminent was put into a dilemma by be-
ing notified that Blair was not accept
able. SO It Is urged that the United
States can object to WI without being
asked as to his acceptability. placing the
objection on the ground that he was the
father Of the boycott movement, just as
the Chinese objected TO Blair as being
the father of the Chinese exclusion law.
