A SIiqht Interruption


The young officer passed SLOWLY
down the dark staircase. his mind stiIl
bewildered by the result of the inter.
view. His feelings toward Hampton
had been materially changed. He
found It impossible to nurse a dislike
which seemingly had no real cause for
existence.
Yet Brant was far from being salts
fed. Hampton had not even. advanc-
ed a direct claim: he had lodged the
real issue, leaving the soldier in the
dark regarding his relationship to
Nadia, and erecting a barrier between
the other two. II was a masterpiece
of defense, puzzling, irritating, seem
ingly impossible. From the consid-
GRAFTON of it all, Brant emerged with
but one thought clearly deined-who-
ever she might prove to be, whatever
was he present connection with
Hampton. he loved this d%ark-eyed, au-
burn-haired waif. He knew it now,
and never again could he doubt it. He
paused, half inclined to retrace his
steps and have the matter out. He
turned just in time to face a dazzling
vision of fluffy lace II tlossy hair
beside him in the dimly lighted hall.

"Oh, | am so glad; and Nadia will
be, too. l must go right back and tell
the poor girl. for she is nearly dis

most romantic situation that ever
was? And he is such a mysterious
character"

Feeling somewhat doubtful as to
what might be the result. Brant
knocked upon the door he had lust
closed, and. in response to the voice
within, opened It. Hampton sat upon
the chair by the window. but as his
eyes caught a glimpse of the returned
soldier with a woman standing beside
him, he Instantly rose to his feet.

Mustard is the most ancient of
condiments. The Egyptians re-
garded it as an aid to digestion.
The Asians ate it freely. 1t was
sold by peddlers in the days of
King Solomon. Christ likened
the Kingdom of Heaven toa mus
tard seed. The Normans and the
Anglo-Saxons i'll the earliest times
never went to war without an am
,ple supply of prepared mustard.
1t was their food and medicine.
The plant seems to thrive in all
parts of the world and is eaten by
every civilized nation and many
heather tribes, either as a spring
salad (the young leaves are most
delicious) or a seasoning prepared
from the ground seed.

From Wife 20 widow.

Recently a man bequeathe1 snug
sum of money to each of his sons
wives IN the general principle that
husbands are little disposed to provide
for their wives. At first this indict
ment of American husbands appears
to be.a little sweeping. This is Il land
of life insurance which is supposed to
he a guarantee for the future Of wives
portars There were over 100000
policies alive in 1905, but it Was shown
during the life insurance Investigation
that the great rush for policies in re-
cent years has been for insurance On
the endowment plan. The policies were
expected to mature during the lifetime
of the insured. and they carry much
heavier premiums than straight life
policies.
In Europe daughters of thrifty par
ents bring a dot into the marital
partnership, but it is usually secured
for the benefit of the wife and children
in case of the husbands death first.
In this country, aside from the life In
surance system. which protects only
about one-fifth of the wives. this mat
ter is left almost entirely to the good
fortune and good faith of the husband
and the laws governing the wife's

where there is a considerable estate

ow's burden is UNNECESSARILY increas-
ed. She has the care of the estate
added to her care of the growing chill
dren bereft of father, Even during
the life of the husband the wife is
often only an adjunct in the family
affairs. not an equal partner. The hus-
band follows the line of his own am
bition. His reward is his own success.
The peculiar needs of his wife'S ma
ture, something entirely different from
his own and not comforted by the
stimulant which sustainS him. are too
often ignored. In the early days of
woman's suffrage agitation here the
speakers based their pleas upon the
unfair position of the wife in domestic
partnership The force Of the argu-
ment was recognized, and the pleas
carried weight There has been i'm
provement, some laws having been re-
modelled to this end. What injustice
there remains in individual cases is
probably due to the thou ghtlessness
rather than the selfshness of the hus-
band. A little jarring now and then
along this line can do no harm.

The Future Canal traffic.

the Panama canal is to begin to make
a return on the investment during the
lifetime of the generation which builds
it the government must prepare to
meet the competition which will enter
the field The noise about the canal
has been a great advertisement for the
regions whose trade will be affected by
it. An immense volume of traffic will
be required to meet the bare expenses
of operation and maintenance.
1t goes without saying that If any
part of the trade which would natural
ly move through the canal as matter
Of convenience can be diverted to other
channels other nations will be wise In
advance and have their pipes laid, even
though 1t require heavy subsidies to
keep them In the field. Great Britain
