Yet the man will speak on the one

American etiquette roes not permit
the individual American father to take
aside the youth who has been haunt

young man, are you looking for wife,
or pleasant place to spend your
evenings, where there is free light
and heat, comfortable Morris chairs.

No, there probably are not six Amer

breadth Of the land who would have the
courage to make such a remark as
that to any nice Mr.. Smith who came
and came and never popped the
question.
That there is a great need for such
a vigilance committee no one wil1-dis-

men who might be called old maid

very good looking, very fascinating,
exceedingly skilled in the art OF cap

Such q man will attach himself to
debutante, and become her shadow al
most. When other men go to call they
find him installed in her parlor. When
she takes q walk, he manages to meet
her. At dances he fills up her cards,
and he literally crowds out everybody
else so that other men drop out Of the
race. People begin TO say that the man

herself is always expecting him to pro-
pose, but he never does
He hangs around her until her youth
is gone, her beauty dim, her chances OF
making a good marriage lost, and then
he fits away to another bud that is

This document is interesting, as it
shows that American parents are at
last waking up to their long neglected
duty to their daughters, and are about
for the first time, to take a hand in
the courtship game.
Heretofore there has been no time
limit on the attentions Of men without
intentions. To girl, and her father,
and her mother, a beau on the parlor
sofa was a beau, and hence welcome.
Any man who had the nerve to do it
might camp On papa's best chairs, run
up the electric light bill. and monopo-

A Terrible Plot
By Hans Schumacher.

to listen, and it was not his
fault that the bench on which he was
sitting was so completely hidden from

walked by had no suspicion of his
presence.

the little gentleman said mysteriously.

The other shook his head.
TOO risky" he said. she pours out
her tea herself, but always lets me
open the beer. and I can pour it into
her glass without her knowledge.
Has it had any effect so far?"
Not enough to be noticed, but it
works slowly and surely, and IN

The voice was now so low that Jor-
dan could hear no more no matter
how hard he strained his ears.
He felt very uneasy. What kind OF
chastity plot was this? What would
happen within a week? He must act
quickly, so he got UP and followed
the plotters. They had stopped at the
cate of the park and as Jordan saun-
tered by ne discovered that he knew

His name was Eide He lived at

"One cannot be too careful Eide
replied Slowly and surely is the best
way. In a matter like this
He stopped and looked angrily at
Jordon, whose excitement had made
him come little too close. The tall
\ entleman looked at him. too, and there
was an expression in his eyes which
made Jordan hurry away.
Greatly excited he rushed to Gar
tenstrasse. He stopped at the little
papershop at the corner to buy pen
Gil he did not need at all, and was
told that Eide lived at No "a.
His resolution was made up. Nobody
should say that he had left defence

at the door in No "a, which was open

immense figure filled the whole door

taking hold Of Mrs. Eide's arm as she
took the glass from her husband. Il
saw him pour something into it"
What do you say? Pour something

you do it?"

srowled Eide.
Mrs. Eide tasted the beer and made
4 face.

Immediately, Nathaniel Eide. what kind

Never in the presence of a stranger"
said Eide with an angry look at Jor-
dan. You would not like it, no more
than I would myself"
Give me the bottle" Mrs. Eide re-
peated.
Her husband at last gave her the
bottle. She looked at the label,
screamed and collapsed in her chair.
The bottle fell from her hand. Jor-
dan picked 1t up.
On the yellow label was printed:
