presentable fit.
Before the curtain was rung up Ben
ton found time TO go over some of the
more important scenes of the play. He
was very much relieved to find him
self quite at home in both lines and
situations
A short time later he stood in the
wings listening to the announcement
of the accident and the request that
the audience would kindly overlook
any lack of smoothness in the part of
Henry. as the gentleman who was to
play it had stepped into the breach at
moments notice. Then, after few
hurried words of direction from the
stage manager. two very Hurried
young people took their places for the
opening scene and the curtain went up.
Now. there are certain psychological
processes which prevail under certain
conditions. We are mystified by their
apparent unaccountability. We raise
our hands in helpless incredulity and
exclaim. How inexplicablew when
there is nothing strange about it if we
remember that youth and propinquity
work hand in hand to carry out the
universal behest. One each at least of
these processes and conditions con-
eronted Benton as he stood on the lawn
before the clubhouse an hour later.
He had done WE'LL and he felt strange
ly exalted. He knew he was John
Benton, but it was a new personality
that cloaked him. He was in love-in
love with girl whom he had met YES
terday for the first time-or was it to-
day? He was waiting-waiting impa-
tlently and giving voice to his inmost
thoughts in words that were strangely
familiar. He saw her coming SLOWLY
through the trees and started forward
to meet her. They seated themselves
on the clubhouse steps, They fenced
with each other lightly, but with an
undercurrent of feeling. He loved her
-he loved her-and in a moment he
would tell her so. His heart bounded
for he knew what her answer Would

She arose. and he followed her. Her
eyes were cast down. and her hands
hung limp by her side. He seized
them in his own, and his comnelling
gaze forced her to raise her eyes to

Little did Gabrielle, who was making

Gabrielle fastened to the room. Ma

"She has the hat! All. you wretched

She snatched the hat from the head

From The, World Of Thursday:
Last night a new era was ushered

United States and Great Britain and

two cents an ounce went into effect
for letters although the rates on other
kinds OF mail matter will remain az

Hitherto. since the act OF congress
OF March 3.1S51. the rate on lettera

has been Ave cents for the first ounces
and three cents for every ounce there
after. Before that time the rate RAJ
much higher. and Americans will now
enjoy % privilege for two cents that
once cost 40.

IS DUKE GOOD
ENOUGH FOR KATE
Believe Senator'S Daughter Should
Msrry Straight Forward
American.

Now that the objections OF Queen
Margharita Of Italy to the wedding of
the Du-e of the Abruzzi to Miss
Katherine Elkins, daughter of the
ssniae ssngtor FROM west Virginia,
seem in a fair way to being over
ridden and the marriage looks like
an assured thing the American pao-
pie are beginning to talk about it SER
iously. 1t is really a more serious
thing to West Vii g~inians than any
body else on this side of the water
for Miss Elkins Is a West Viz giniai
girl. Therefore West Virginians take
issue with the friends of the Italian
Duke who assert that that scion of
the ancient house of Savoy is to
marry beneath himself
Some of the comments which are
being made are very interesting. One
we'll known man said that no body
looked as good to him as a straight
forward, upright American and that
he would see the most betitled fore
igner in Europe in a much hotter
climate than that of sunny Italy before
he should marry his daughter. t
might, however. be interesting to
state that his daughter has not yet
arrived at a manageable age.
