HIS DECISION.

copyright. 1905. by American Press Asso-
ciation.l
Critical periods come to all OF us IL
which we are called upon to decide
ome question vltally important to the
rest of our lives.
Theodore Cook was graduated with
honor at the scientific school and en-
tered upon his profession of ciyil engi.
neer with high hopes. He at once
found employment as one of the sub
ordinate engineers constructing sys-
TEN of water supply for a great city.
A valley was being damned, reservoirs
constructed and aqueducts built
Cook rose rapidly. lie was not only
competent, but ambitious 1t was his
determination to make bis every act
count for his advancement not only In
his present position, but through his
whole life. Before his graduation at
college be had formed the acquaint-
ance of, Evelyn knight. the daughter
of wealthy capitalist, with whom he
contemplated marriage. She was as
pleasing to him as most of the girls Of
his acquaintance. and be believed the
alliance would be of great advantage
to him. The young engineers promi-
nence among bis fellows and in his
profession caused Miss knight to look
upon him as desirable partl.
All this was very well. very sensible
and very desirable for both parties
When asked by chum IL he was much
in love, Cook replied that he did not
consider an emotion fit reason for
taking so important step as mar
riage: that he was fond of Miss
Knight, but was practical sort Of 0
fellow, and IL there was any good rea-
son why he shouldn't marry her he
would forbear.
While he was engaged on the water
system there was nothing more than a
hypothetical understanding between
him and the daughter of the capitalist
Notwithstanding his practical nature
he came very near doing what he
would have considered very imprac-
teal thing. A telephone system was in
operation from one end OF the water
system to the other, and he was
thrown or his balance by one Of its
''hello girls" Madeleine Trarers pos
sessed only a fine name. SHE was not

stamped something-cali It character
or what you will-that impressed itself
very sensibly on Cook. Since the CEN
tral office Of the telephone and that Of
the engineers were in the same build
ing he saw more or less of her. There
was sterling worth In her that show
ed itself Notwithstanding her common
place vocation that attracted Cook to
her The girl was equally attracted to
Cook.
One evening after a conversation
with her on other subjects than practi-
cal topics Cook went to his room
tempted to yield to an emotion and
ask Miss Trayers to fight the battle of
life with him. Indeed, so moved was
he that he walked the floor all night
celebrating between her and Miss
knight. The result was in favor of
Miss Knight He wrote her PROPOSE
ton, and as soon as the work on
which he was engaged was finished he
married her.
Cooks next professional engagement
was as chief engineer on a work own
ed principally by his capitalist father
in-law. This was step upward, hut
he paid a large price for 1t. In this
age Of the big fish eating up the little
fish how could he fail to be absorbed
by the knight family? He was so alb
sorbed. When his second work was
finished the next offered was located
several thousand miles away. The
Knight family would not consent to
his accepting 1t. Instead they took him
to Europe.
The rest Of his life was miserable
failure. Within few years of his
marriage his wife inherited large
fortune and used 1t to make her hus-
band feel uncomfortable. He could not
get away from it. and he could not
master II. 1t swallowed him.
One morning after a "scrap" with
his wife he took up paper and saw
large headlines announcing that the
dam OF the water system on which he
had found his first employment had
given way In the night, the water had
swept down the valley, and many peo-
pie had been borne away in their sleep
to an awful death.
But far above the siekening details,
like a bell ringing soft and melodious
above a storm, was an act of heroic
sacrifice. A telephone girl while en-
gagged at her duties got word of the
breaking of the dam. She was In the

Element OF the Bankan qustion. This
proposition, of course, must meet the
approval OF the other triple alliance and
Turkey before II can be put into effect.
In brief. the plan is to recognize the
accomplished facts" in the present
situation-the independence of Bull.
garia, the annexation. of Bosnia and
Herzegovina by Austria, and the union
Of Crete and Greece. Montenegro and
Serria are to be placated possibly By
territorial expansion, at the expense OF
Austria's annexed provinces. Montene-
gro also is given, virtually. complete
independence. Russia is likely to real
ize in a measure her ambition in regard
10 the Dardanelles. BY direct nego.
tation with Turkey backed by the
benevolent interests of Great Britain
and France, Russia expects to secure
the right of free movement of her war
ships through the straights, tee same
rights however applying to those of
other powers not at war with Russia.
Turkeys eompensations are largely
moral and some OF them will not be inn

certain cash in relation to Eastern Rou-
Inelia and the Oriental railroad. Greece
will make financial arrangements in re-
lation to Crete. The powers promise
to watch with sympathetic interest the
reform movement in Turkey, and when
the lew government has shown itself
to be capable, the restrictions now
limiting Turkey in Macedonia and Ar.

nations in regard 70 capitulations, mails
etc, will be withdrawn.
