DecentIy.
Special oablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS. December 90.-Strange light is
thrown today on the remarkable suicide
of the French socialist, Paul Lafargue,
and his wife. by the injection of poison
which Lafargue himself had distilled.
The story is told in the socialist journal
Humanite. by DR.. Longuet. the nephew
and executor Of Lafargue. For years it
had been supposed that the socialist was
a very wealthy man, and he was also
credited with being more or less a miser.
The very opposite was the truth. La
fargue and his wife were almost penniless
at their death They left behind for
tune Of less than 500.
What they did is an astounding revela-
ton Of some of the wild theories Of So
cialism. Ten years ago Lafargue was
well-to-do. but he was sixty years of age,
and he decided that ten years ahead his
life would not be worth living. Husband
iStence must come to an end.
Lafargue therefore divided his fortune
into len parts, one part of which was to
be spent each year. He declared that ten
years of life in plenty, free from all pc
cuniary cares, was preferable to q longer
life with more economy and with possibly
failing health and strength at the end.
DR.. Longuet points out that this resolu-
ton was arrived at when Lafargue was
in possession of health and vigor.
So Lafargue spent his fortune deliber-
ately, almost to the last penny, mort
gaging his estate as he went along. And
when 1t was gone he carried out his orig
inal plan: he and his wife injected the
poison which he himself had made for
the purpose.

English Nerves.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
Britons have long been temperamentally
contrasted with the gay Spaniards, the
''excitable" Italians and the "mercuriar'
French. It is still the fashion to regard
them as easy-going. stolid, phlegmatic
and what not. Transatlantic slang calls
them "a bit Slow and many q hustling
American adventures to Albion in the
settled conviction that he will find there
a restful haven of refuge from electric
cars, from the stock market and from the
fierce democracy"
But that traditional idea Of a reStful
England will have to be given up. The
British are already beginning to murmur
over our unwillingness to let ourselves go.
Some Of them think us too deferential to-
ward constituted authority" Our au-
diences are too decorous. We cling to the
strap 100 meekly. We are not strenuous
enough for woman suffrage. Our en-
thusiasm flags when it is a question of
municipal ownership or old-age pensions.
We even refuse to fight tooth and nail
for the blessings of socialism. Now. II
the British go on piling up nerves In this
fashion the time may very well come
when the current of reSt-seek1ng tourists
will flow the other way-when to many q
harassed Briton our own city shall seem
like some quiet tarn among the lonely
hills. and even rafting New York will
offer to the world-worn LOndoner all the
advantages OF q nerve-restorinS sana-
forum.

CHAPTER III.
The HOLY Yhiordes.

George drank his burgundy perfume
torily. Had it been astringent as the ma
tive wine Of Corsica, he would not have
noticed it. The little nerves that ran
from his tongue to his brain had tempo
rarily lost the power of communication.
And all because Of the girl across the
way. He couldn't keep his eyes from
wandering in her direction. She faced
him diagonally. She ate but little, and
when the elderly gentleman poured out
for her a glass of sauterne, she motioned
it aside. rested her chin upon her folded
hands, and stared not at but through her
vis-a-vis.
1t was a lovely head topped with coils
of lustrous light-brown hair; an oval face,
Of white and rose and ivory tones; scarlet
lips, small, regular nose. and a chin the
soft roundness of which hid the resolute
lift to 1t. To these attributes of lowell
ness was added perfect form, the long.
flowing curves Of youth. not the abrupt
contours of maturity. George couldn't
recollect when he had been so impressed
by a face. From the moment she had
stepped down from the carriage his inter-
est had been drawn, and had grown to
such dimensions that when he entered the
dining room his glance Immediately
searched for her table. What luck in
finding her across the way! He ques-
toned II he had ever seen her before.
There was something familiar; the deli
cate profile stirred some sleeping memory
but did not wake 1t.
How to meet her. and when he did meet
her, how to interest her? II she would
only drop her handkerchief. her purse.
something to give him an excuse, an
opening. All, he was certain that this
time the hydra-headed one should not
overcome him. To gain her attention and
to hold it, he would have faced lion. a
tiger. a wild elephant. To diagnose these
symptoms might not be fair to George.
Love at first sight reads well and
sounds we'll. but we hoary-headed philoso-
pliers know that the phrase is only poeti-
cal license.
Once, and once only. she looked in his
direction. It swept over him with the
chill of q winter wind that he meant as
much to her as a tree, a fence, q meadow,
as seen from the window Of speeding
railway train. But this observation.

SOLDIERS TO DO FARM
WORK IN SPARE HOURS
Austro-Hungarian War Office Plans
Vegetable Gardens for Bar
racks Yards.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
VIENNA. December 3O-By a special
decree Of the Austro-H Hungarian war Of
fice fruit and vegetable gardens are to
be set out on waste plots Of ground
around barracks. drill yards, rifle ranges
and other military places. The soldiers
will be encouraged to cultivate these in
their spare time, and any profits derived
from the work will be shared among the
men.
It is believed that the plan will have
many advantages. The soldiers will be
provided with some profitable and inter-
esting occupation In their leisure time,
and will also learn much that may help
them when they return to civil life. And
by the cultivation of the waste spots
around the barracks and military build
ings the general appearance of these
places Will be greatly improved.
A somewhat similar idea has proved
very successful in Germany. There the
soldiers took UP the work with much in
terest, especially in the cultivation of
fruit trees near the walls of the bar
racks. The different companies entered
into friendly rivalry over the fruit-grow-
ing, and the trees did much to relieve
the dull monotony of the ugly bare bar
rack walls.

transient as it was, left with him the in
delible impression that her eyes were the
saddest he had ever seen. Why? Why
should young and beautiful girl have
eyes like that? 1t could not mean physi-
cal WEAKNESS. else the face would in some
way have expressed it. The elderly man
appeared to do his best to animate her;
he was kindly and courteous, and by the
gentle way he laughed at intervals was
trying to bolster up the situation with a
jest or two. The girl never SO much as
smiled, or shrugged her shoulders: she
was as responsive to these overtures as
marble would have Deen.
Georges romance gathered itself for a
fight. Perhaps it was love thwarted, and
the gentleman with the mustache and i'm
perial, in spite IF his amiability, might be
the ogre. Perhaps it was love and duty.
Perhaps her lover had gone down to sea.
Perhaps (for lovers are known to do such
things) he had run away with the other
girl. If that was the case. George did
not think highly Of that tentative gentle
mans taste. Perhaps and perhaps again;
but George might have gone on per-
hapsing till the crack o. doom, with never
a solitary glimmer Of the true state of the
girls mind. Whenever he saw an I'M
known man or woman who attracted his
attention, he never could resist the I'M
pulse to invent romance that might
apply.

BoYhood.

F. p. Dunno In the Metropolitan.
No man. young or old, knows what is
in a boys mind. Once he knew. Once
he was familiar with the ritual, free of
the fellowship, understood the degrees
and administered them to others. Sud-
denly he was expelled and he has never
been able to get back in again. His
mind, ruthlessly deprived Of the memory
of passwords and grips and observances.
he beat forever on the door, it never
will be opened to him. Nothing is more
remote from the mind of the grown-up
person than the apparently simple mat
ter of the division of the boys year. Phi
losophers have studied and guessed, but
they never have been able to explain
why at one time boys play marbles,
at another time spin tops and at still an
other time fly kites. and why In every
part of the world they abandon one
pastime in body and take up another.
The boys know. They all know. But
the rigorous freemasons won't tell Are
they bound by some frightful oath not
to reveal the secrets of their caste? Do
traitors and infOrmerS among them Suf-
fer dreadful penalties? Is it possible
that the sad little boys who are some
times seen gloomily treading their way
through the winter streets. wearing low
socks and French berets or the velvet
clothes of little Lord Fauntleroys, with
curls hanging down their lace collars
is 1t possible that these are the Morgans
of this freemasonry, that this Is their
fate because they have communicated
the secrets Of their order? 1t must be
true. for no mother in her right mind
would SO punish her offspring. He wears
the uniform Of the Outcast. Every boys
hand is raised against him. But If it is
a punishment the punishment is excessive.
No boy could If he would communicate
these secrets to the mature
It would be more difficult for a boy of
ten to explain what he knows and
thinks to a man of forty than it would
be for a Tfbetan priest to elucidate in
his own language the mysteries of ESQ
teric Buddhism to a Wall street broker
at a quick-lunch counter.
