The Van Decides
By Con SG''nit.


.Oh, I didn't know it was 80 late.
We must go home," the girl ex-
claimed. Pushing back their chairs
as they arose from the table, the
man assisted her with her wraps.
Night life in the Chinese restau-
rant was taking on its usual activ-
ity. The curtain was Just about

"Yes;I think we had better &C"
agreed Hudspeth. He paid for
the tea and toast they had ordered.

They had begun the evening at
the theater and we're now ending
it after peep into the less rep
rehensible corners of Chinatown.
They were both alone in the city.
and, untrammeled by conventional
observance, they had enjoyed such
sightseeing expeditions without
further consequences than the dis
approving frowns .of the two old
ladies at their boarding house.
With the man purpose lay at
the bottom of their wandelings.
He was seeking to solve problem,
to see his way. Did he love the
girl? The question was constant
ly with him, struggling for solu-
ton. He could not afford to make
a misstep.
He had not lacked opportunity
for studying the girl. Their var
ious journeys, in search of the odd
and unusual, furnished the ideal
condition-to be alone with her.
Yet he confessed himself baffled.
The girl, conscious of dealing lax
ly with the conventions, was not
without her resources. She had
presented, on some occasions, an
exterior just short of GOODNESS; but
still bearing an inexplicable charm
which served as an effectual screen
to the probing eyes Of the man.,
vino would see beneath to the real
woman.
Tonight, however, he fancied she
had melted somewhat. Her laugh
ter had been less guarded, her
words not 40 cautious, and as they
emerged from the restaurant she
sent delicious thrill through him
by drawing his arm closer within
her own, as if grateful for his pro-
tectIve presence.
The glow of the conqueror, the
JOY of her first move Of surrender
went to his head, and perhaps his
decision had been formed as he
leand toward her and said tremu.

He felt her arm straighten ever

Then her arm again weighed upo,

"And for me, jack" she said.
They had reached ssthe Bowery

Diverse Reflections
By Erid.

The ideals of many persons are
too fanciful and feeting to be real
lied.
Pausing to consider the source
saves considerable worrying over
trihes.
The foot prints of time beet re-
lentlessly for the race OF men.
Revolutions in South America
are mostly of the smoke order,
with little fire.
Many barrels of powder have
been used in worldly battles es-
pecially by the fair sex.
The inmate who defers counting
days in prison until be is dis
charged snves mental energy.
There is 1T last one place most
any adult can enter and where no
one wants to stay-in "durance
vile"
New Years Day will undoubtedly
be a good day to mske new reso-
lutions. Succeeding days will SUI
fee to break such resolutions.
When saloons have beeu exter,
minated in the Indian territories
the bootleg brand Of snake juice
will undoubtedly fire up many
red skin.
The saddest days OF man are
umbered by the manner in which
he learns to accept life. Taking
every day with glad feelings elm
mates days Of sadness.
The recent unwilling of a monu-
ment by President Taft's daughte,

few words, that have ever been de-

by men who are doing their tLire
