"I always pay my bills" he said, haughtly. Then
he took hold of my hand. Now, Minnie, dear"
he says-just as in novels-"you misconstrue my
actions. am not at all ashamed of being seen
with YOU"
At that moment out came the old man, and Barton
just twisted himself around the balustrade and
disappeared upstairs. It's awful to ones ideal
act like that AS l watched him l knew my heart
was dead.
II understand your actons-they aren't hard to see
through" says to him, when he got back and the
old man had gone proudly on without glance.

'Mr. Barton Fordham Jones'" says I, please give
me back my hand when you are quite, quite done
with it. And your father, am sure will understand
my feelings His father had up the stairs and
had stood there and heard every word and 1 let him

Invited to Sit Down

Perhaps you asked me to take seat, I says, "but
I'm little deaf this A. NJ. 1 climbed all those old
stairs of yours give you this chance-not that |
wouldn't rather be sleeping calmly in my bed this
moment. But I'm Babe from the beauty chorus of

hasten and we all giggled. l told them how glad [
to have met them in this pleasant informal way,
and if any of them happened to be out my way my
day at home hoped they'd call, and as I knew this
wasn't their day at home I'd be going on, l didn't
want ntrude upon their grand work for humanity.
Everybody laughed and by this time had two or
three young fellows going along with to what
Id say next | was having more fun than crate OF
chickens. Then all of sudden something happened
just like that A street organ playing tune OUT
side that they'd played Rectors last night, when
sat at supper with Mr. Jones, and remembered just
how nice he'd been to me. And how sweet the flowers
smelled he'd sent me, and how it seemed if life
never was so much worth living as when you're
young and you thoroughly respect looks into
your eyes and says he-loves you.
Well, don't allow no nonsense, but had just felt
If life awfuly good to let such lovely, kind
hearted, good looking man as that care for me-and
felt If he wanted me to give up the stage-we, he
the only man I'd ever seen who as good
So when the grind organ began that long,
slow wailing song it has 1 leaned my elbows the
window Sill IN the hall minute, ten stories, and
my thoughts went back to Rector's-I remembered
the look in Mr.. Barton Fordham Jones' eyes and how
he seemed somewhat delicate in spite of his SIZE and
just said to myself, Anyway, hope no harm won't
come to him-he's too good a to have to
suffer in any way, and l know he's not unsincere"
Come on, Miss Higgins" says one of the men in
that light way they all have, but-Mr. Jones. "You
seem in maiden meditation fancy free
"Oh, I'm fancy free, all right l laughed. ITS
pooh, pooh for mine. And for the little newsies
l never shirk my job, hike on" says l, and we
into Office, and when they knew who we were,
though didn't give names, they had us ushered
into inner Office. There two old men there
and three young ones and one of the young men was
Mr. Barton Fordham Jones, looking lovely in pale
gray suit, with lavender necktie. He was just
lighting cigar and looked up when we came in.
He didn't move l was so glad to see him I went
right over to him.
"Oh, didn't know it was your Office" put it
to him. "But I'm glad it is You never told me
you would take ticket last night at supper
didn't think I'd find one of my best friends here I'm
afraid of strangers, though don't look it." smiled
One of the old men Strengthened up and looked over
at Mr.. Jones' and else spoke.
"Of course you're mistaken about knowing me-" he

Are We All Crazy?

-HE remark that every one is little crazy on
some subject is a familiar one Dr. Ralph
Reed of Cincinnati, in recent medical adj
dress, that it is not true and that
the man who makes it confuses eccentrcities or fads
with true disease of the brain
This is comforting, but only to the reader who
stops at this point for Dr. Reed goes on to put the
matter in another light that is possibly even more
disquieting. Few of u.s. he says, escape during our
whole lives or less mental arrangements of
the time There is little to choose, one would say be-
tween being told that he tiny bit crazy and being
assured that he is either crazy at some
time in the past will be some period in the
future
Speculation as to whether the inevitable wave of

over his brain would be likely to mental dis
turbance in one who had it Any way told
that the majority of the victims of mental disease
not behind asylum walls.
Is there any hope for u.s. Dr. Reed thinks it lies in
prevention rather than in cure. If will improve
public school system, substitute instruction
along temperance lines for the frantic actions of
of text books, encourage clean and quiet modes
of life, cultivate frank and free emotional expression
and take ourselves less seriously insanity will in
future be confined to the we'll defined cases under
formal treatment.

Then bowed to them, very elegant, indeed, and
the old glared at Barton, and Barton gared at
me- but went downstairs and climbed into auto

the girls, though the Purple Stars away ahead

looked over the old gentleman and smiled and the
old gentleman smiled back again, and understood
just like tIat He wasn't more perfect gentle
man that Mr.. Bowsox was, for even Mr.. Bowsox
wasn't ashamed to say he knew me- and whatever
Mr. Jones reasons for pretending he didn't know

"Of course case of mistaken identity said with
my nose UP. "My acquaintance among millionaires
is SO extensive that of course sometimes get them

one of those intense swell teas where they gabble

you know / can hardly tell stage gentleman from a
real one" And Mr. Jones just sat there looking at
me and smoking Well, they all bought tickets and
we went out and let the others go ahead and just
stood at the window, listening to that organ grinder
play and wiping the tears from my eyes. It's
hard to see ones ideals fade
Somebody touched my 1t was a man-rather

kind enough open door for lady even if his

wipe tears like a greenie. The stage is a great
career amt it?"
We'll, l don't know about it being so grand he
laughed, "but it's the greatest fun Say come
around and act, won't you? I've seen you
and at least you ought to do much for me" and
he gave me dinky matinee ticket for certain
date, and then he went. I'm to their ways of

laid eyes you before" And turned my profile
toward him, because he once said he liked it.
Now, Minnie" he says, Sbe good girl. l do
like you awfully, but how's the governor to know
what sort you are? You don't want me to be cut
off without cent, do you?

.IICOLN CENT
WORTH NICKEL
CAN BE USED N SLOT MACHINES AND
MS0N TELEPHONE PAY
STATIONS.

LincOlen pennies, being about the
size and constituency of the ordinary
nickel, it is said, are being used for
the 1--WE cent piece on slot machines,
and in telephone booths, to the an
noyanee of the owners of the ma
chimes and the phone lines. While
the coins are not exactly alike in any
especial material feature, the differ
ence in weight is 50 little that the
Lincoln penny Will work the ordinary
game that calls for fve times the
amount. The sizes, while also not
the same, are sufficiently similar to
permit of using the penny in FIVE
cent machines. 1t is said that at
several places where there are toll
stations on the phone lines the pen
mics have turned up and that when
the new penny comes into general
circulation it will be necessary to re-
arrange the mechanism.
