SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with a scene at a box
party. Miss Henrietta Winstantley, sis
ter of Bishop Winstanley overheard
Banker Ankony propose to Barbara Hem
1Dgray, whose brother Dan was in his
employ. Dan was one of the towns pop
ular young men. He showed some nerv-
business when Attorney Tom Twining told
MIN Barbara refused Ankony. Ankony
the following day, summonlng Twining,
accused Dan of looting the bank. Twin
Ing refused to prosecute. Barbara per-
suaded Ankony to postpone starting
prosecution. Twining learned of the en-
gagement of Ankony and Barbara. He
congratulated both. He visited Miss
Hemingway and found her almost in
tears. He told her he had loved her, but
feared prematurely announcing his af-
lection. By actions alone she told him
she reciprocated. Mrs. Arson Dimes,
wealthy widow, proposed n marriage by
proxy with Bishop W~instanley. The lat
ter. consulted with Twining. The bishop
had been paying attentions to Miss
Streeter. Dan consulted Twining, say
dng his sister was determined to marry
Ankony, declaring she actually loved the
banker, though he could not help believ-
Ing she was making a sacrifice to save
him from Jail. Miss Winstanley, find

BABY's COMING MEANT MUCH
japanese Rejoicing over Incident
Somewhat Hard for American
to Understand.

Some years ago, an American
friend and ! we're passing through a
street In the city Of Tokyo" says
Adachi Kinnosuke. we came upon a
gateway which smiled like a May-day
festival, and, like It, was full of peo-
pie.
What's all this fuss about?" my
friend asked me. Have they hit a
gold miner"
No; they had not. To the good peo-
pie the occasion meant a deal more
than the discovery of gold. 1t was the
coming of a baby. The proud parents
were sending out messengers into the
four n Of the city announcing
the glad tidings Of exceeding great
Joy. And l told my American friend:
d your people make such a fuss
about a baby? Babies are born every
day In this country, aren't they?"
Which was true. But we look upon
this matter entirely in a different
way. 1t may be that this is one Of
the relics of the past, but we put en-
phasis upon the continuation of a
family line. Confucius, whose ghost
Is much more powerful in Japan of to-
day than all the prophets and philoso-
piers nov living put together, made
childlessness a just ground for d.
vorce. The coming of the baby mean
to a mother more than a fashionable
garment. 1t Is the social insignium
with the Japanese mother; nothing de-
fines her social rank as finally ag the
baby.
The Nippon society is heartless to
the childless mother; 1t brands her as
'the stone-woman;" it exposes her to
the calling pity of all her more IA
vored sisters. In the sterner days of
the samural ideal, she was an object
to be Stunned, like a leper. The
childless mother did not dare to i'm
pose herself upon society. A rather
far cry, this, from the fashionable
Fifth avenue atmosphere, isn't it?

Grace,

A paper out in northwestern Kansas
tells of a pious old farmer who has
the habit of gazing at the rafters in
his dining-room when saying grace.
One day while so engaged he for
got himself. and his grace sounded
something like this: I'VE thank thee
for this food andy Joe! there's that
darned gimlet I've been looking for for
the last six months. I'll have Jim
go up there and get 1t. Thou hast
been gracious to US, o Lord, and
again we thank thee. A~meni"-Kan-

As to Five Feet of Books.

What won't fat will fill, saith the
adage, and filling it is that chiefly
concerns us, not only In respect of
f~oodstuffs, but literature as well.
That's why five feet of books won't do.
The amount of 1t is, we've got to be
pleasantly engaged, and with our ad.
vance in culture chewing-gum isn't
enough-hence the need of books, and
plenty of them.
Half the meat, masticated fine,
would afford twice the nutriment, but
nutriment is about the last thing we
think of. Five feet of books means
mental Fletcherism, and any kind of
Fletcherism is a bore.
No, we shall still demand our yards
and rods and miles of books hat swal-
low easily and keep US comfortably

to believe in Mrs. Dimes, even as Hen
rietta Winstanley did. There was that
about her which seemed to denote GER
tain victory.
Poor Miss Winstanley, however,
looked decidedly uncomfortable, in
spite Of the, fact that she felt she was
about to witness the elimination of
this engagement which she held to be
so monstrous. She too was o gen.
eral, and a good one-one whose rec
ord one could assail-but her mode
of attack differed widely from. that
OF her friend Mrs. Dimes. She was a
stategist, pure and simple, while one
could see with half an eye that Mrs.
Dimes had been born to the hammer
and-tongs method. She scorned STRAIT
egg as some illustrious generals scorn
latter-day war tactics.
She leaned toward Ankony across
his wide desk.
Il have come from Africa to tell you
that you must break the engagement
at once" she said, making no pretense
at lowering her full. steady voice.
Over the gray of his face a dull red
spread and his lip curled slowly into
an ugly downward curve.
THE statement is amazing, as well
as amusing, madam" he observed,
meeting her eyes steadily enough.
But she refused to skirmish. Her
attack was to be open and direct, with
no foolish beating about in the
bushes.

After being bitten by dogs 5000
times or more, according to his own
assertion, David Steinfeld, Montclair's
dog catcher, has solved the problem of
a future scathless official career by
training a big st. Bernard, which he
impounded, to capture the stray can

American.
Steinfeld appeared recently for the
first time with his trained st. Bernard.
