10 dine with Mrs. Blake and Isabel
and go with them afterWards/ under
The escort of Mr.. Richard Blake, to
see the new morality play, Of which
everyone was talking. Louise had
first met Mr.. Blake last June, when
she and Isabel, after a long, happy
season together as classmates, had
said good-by to the school and to the
school life, and returned, the one to
her home in a little Vermont town to
lake her place as eldest daughter in
d doctors household; the other to
come out in Boston society. The
cng-promised visit to Mrs. Randolph,
an old friend of Louise's mother, af-
Forced the girls many opportunities
for renewed companionship.
You do not wish to decide at pres

send the hat to Mrs. Randolph's adj

suggested Nine. Lear, noting the
young girls hesitation.
1T is not that began Louise, and
was about 70 add, frankly, that the
hat was beyond her means; but as
she turned for one last look at the
"distil guished" reflection in the mir
ror, the words were stayed upon her
lips. The next instant another GUS
toner entered. and Nine. Lear, ap-
parently regarding the interview with
Louise at an end, turned her atten-
ticn to the new arrival, and Louise
had no further opportunity for speech
at least, so she told herself as she
went slowly down the steps of Nine.

By-and-by her hostess retired to
Ter own room, preparatory to round
OF afternoon teas. 1t had been ar
ranged that the maid should escort
Louise, later, to Mrs. Blakes. 1t was
still early to begin dressing for the
evening, but Louise was not loath to
prolong the preparations. Ere long
there was tap at the door and the
maid appeared bearing a bandbox of
portentious size inscribed with the
name, in modest gilt letters, of Nine
Lear. 1t was too late to send the

LOUlSE'S
TEMPTATION
By EDITH ROBINSON

(Cepyright, by Joseph B. -Bowles.)
Just the thing said Nine. Lear,
adjusting the hat on Louise's head,
and with few deft touches rear
ranging her hair, SO that it fell more
softly about her temples and forehead.
SO distinguished" she murmured,
stepping aside to allow Louise full
siew OF her reflection in the mirror.
Louise's heart sank
of course I should have known
that a simple thing like that would
have cost fortune. while those elab-
orate affairs of yesterday could be
bought for ten cents" she thought,
OF course it is not quite impossible,
butt would be reckless extraVa-
gance.'
But even as she turned away, the
,ast word aroused some definite echo
n her mind, and the thought of the
check that Uncle Robert had given
aer at parting. Extravaganza money"
ae had called it. The journey to Bos.
:on had been delightfully."- beguiled in
making list Of the things that Won
1erful cheek would buy. It was the
argest sum Of money that Louise had
ever had Of her very own, and by the
time she reached the city, not only
he dear home people, but her friends
In the vilage Her father. too, had
given her FIVE dollars for pocket
money, and that sum, also, was intact.

play in the show windows and on the
shop counters had come the indiffer-

was the first real temptation that had
presented itself Tonight Louise was

Once there was a "fair FOUL hit, by
which ball was considered fair if it
struck fair, no matter if it rolled out
afterward. First three balls gave a
man his base, then gradually the num-
Der went all the way to seven, only to
come back to four.
One year the game was played
with four strikes, another year play
er was credited with a hit every time
he got a base on balls. The base for
hit with pitched ball was abolished,
and then later restored, and finally
came the foul-strike rule, the most
important piece of modern baseball
legislation.

she had intended doing; after all, such
a course would have seemed unneces-
sarily decided. 1t could do no pos
sible harm to let the bandbox remain
where it was till the morrow, when
rshe, Louise, would have time to write
polite little note of refusal.
The last pin was in place, and it
still lacked half hour Of the.appoint-
ed time. Louise glanced longingly to-
ward the bandboX. After all, what
harm would it do to try it on once
more. Swift upon the thought follow
ed the act.
Why not wear the hat this evening,
sending it back as she proposed on
the morrow? Surely, there could be
no harm in that. Had not Nine. Lear
expressly said that the hat was to be
''sent on approval?" The proposed
test was not to be a mere cursory
"trying-on" in her own room, but only
by the flare of many lights, by con-
tact with other hats
Between her emotions and her hat
Louise had strenuous time The hat
was large and wobbly, and at any un-
guarded moment it slipped from it's
prec>i1ous position on her lap. Sev-
eral times Mr.. Blake had saved it from
falling to the floor only by a des-
perate lunge. The seat on her other
side had been vacant throughout the
performance. It was unlikely that it
would be occupied now, when the cur
tain was going up on the last act.
! Louise hastily placed the hat on the
Blake's watchful care.
Even seasoned theatergoers were
not proof against the emotional strain
! of the final act-that she neither heard
| nor saw that some one had fumbled
| his way in through the darkness and
sat down by her side
The lights were turned on. There
was a sigh and a rustic Of relief
| throughout the hall. Louise was star
| ing in Mortified dumbfoundedness at
| her unexpected neighbor-a fat man
of stolid composure.
Incapable of speech, she could only
gaze at him with tear-flled eyes. Her
neighbor, however, displayed no con-
Germ for her agitation, nor any ap-
| parent intention Of moving, but con
tinued mopping his eyes, winding ul
with a dolorous blast on his nose.

! ly, IF you don't mind, you're sitting

Slowly the fat man arose. There
was the brown hat, crushed to the
thinness of sheet Of paper, the feath
er fiat as though passed through the
mangle.
Dear me, who would have thought
that it would have squashed SO cas-
ily!' puffed the fat man, embarrassed
| at the situation.
On arriving at Mrs. Randolph's that
night, Louise went directly to hel
own room, where she put the un
fortunate hat into her deepest bureau

Stray Dog Has Sparrow Associate.
A curious sight in one of the prin-
cipal streets is a stray dog whose
constant associate is sparrow which
seems to- have acquired the absurd
habit of perching ON the dogs head.
The amusing feature of the thing is
the solemn quiet with which the dog
receives the attention of his feathered
friend, turning its head only when the
bird gets upon the end Of his nose

sensitive. - =. .F$,'*> g.

of Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, when the
latest phase of the divorce case was dis
cussed, it was decided to make prepara-
tions at once for extrsditing Tom Ma
dine, the coschmsn correspondent, from

as soon as Msdine's alleged confession is
spread on the court records by Augustus
Hariie's attorneys. He will be charged
with perjury.

for Mrs. Harije, gave cut a statement in
effect that Mrs. Hsrtje's side would
prove that the more recent letters al
legged to have been written by Mrs.
Hsriis from Paris and London to Ma
dine ara forgeries, as other letters in the
care were declared to be.
Augustus Harije, the libellant in the
divorce suit, wept yesterday afternoon.
He expressed the most fearful regret
that the names of Mrs. Hsrje's two
sisters had been brought into the case.

with Scott Ferguson, his leadiog attor-
ney. 'It is sin. 1t isa't right that

introduced them. He knows l want my
divorce and will have it."
