TRUE TO HER FEARS THE OLD
LADY MET HIM At LAST.
True Story Of Case Of Superstition
Which Ended Not as DlsastrousIy
as In Some instances Il
Might Have Done.

Even the tweatieth century, with
all its civilization and enlightenment,
has not succeeded in hanishing super /
stituton. Not only does It exist, as Is
only natural, among the most ig-
norant, but even among the most in
telleotual 1t has its ievotees.
Now, the elderly lady who is TO be
the heroine Of this story must be re-
garded neither as ignorant nor yet as
intellectual Yet for all her kDowl
edge Of Paris, she was ever haunted
with the idea that enc day she would
meet In the streets a man with an
evil eye. What precisely her concep-
ton Of the evil eye was or how,
when seen, It would be recognized, Is
impossible to tell: still, the old lady
was perfectly assured that on the day
that she encountered the horror she
would not be deceived. and that mis-
fortune would befall her.
One morning a few months ago
the old lady, who, here let il be said,
succeeded in keeping her name q
secret, went down TO her bank There
she spent some time in transactlng
her business, and in the end emerged
with some ESQ IN notes and gold,
and securities worth e400.
Then it was that the adventure be-
gan. A young man was standing out
side the bank. The old lady glanced
at him anxiously, and at once became
conscious that the man was looking
at her. No doubt thoughts Of the
money that she had just withdrawn
awakened her suspicious Then a
peculiar expression In one of the
young mans eyes sent a thrill Of hor

her body. She had met the evil eyel

Orthodoxy Economy.

We have been brought up TO bow
before the fetch Of competition. In
our economic ritual we are aecus-
toned to such antiphonal responses
as competition is the life OF trade,
business is business" ''let him get
who can and keep who is able" That
expresses the economic faith Of most
Of MS or the service we render in lieu
Of faith. There is another economic
shibboleth, the Anglo-Saxon idea Of
liberty. It has run riot with us. It
means the right. seemingly, to do as
one pleases, and most OF us live by
this faith. We DO not, perhaps, rob
great corporations or break into
banks or steal from our neighhor, but
we fail to pay our taxes or we beat the
railways or the custom house. What
is the use Of paying the full rate when
other people are paying one-half or
one-ffth? There is no justice in a
mans laying on himself these uanec-
essary burdens. But II the law is un-
just it should be modified. To disobey
the law Is to demand personal liberty
against social welfare. Until we can
get our practical ethics attuned 10 fine
moral determinations we are still
orthodox economists.
