at Jean MauvieT's features and became
more and more convinced that he must

and the public alike.
Though he was now rich and ia
nous, the first hard years had left
their marks on him. He was always
rather shy and melancholy, his whole
character stamped with a sadness he
could never entirely shake off He
had seen many tragedies close by and
the memory Of these he could never
get rid Of
one day in May, however, he was in
better spirits than usual as he entered
Ledayens restaurant. It was the
opening day Of the salon and the many
groups of artists, critics and newspa-
permen were eagerly discussing the
pictures. Hector was received with
great enthusiasm as he sat down at his
usual table. with the two painters
Paul Niesseury and Charles Zfrtins
who had been waiting for him.
Hector was very often seen together
with these two, for he admired their
love Of their art and the contempt they
felt of everything that tasted of the
philistine.

saw Hector, you look positively ra-

The Silver Coin
CBy Victorian DevaI.)

T WAS at the beginning OF the win
ter and cold biting wind was
- blowing. While Hector Merot was
walking along Rue Montmortre on his
way toward the boulevards he felt
desire for glass of something hot. He
sat down at a table outside cafe
and while slipping his punch, watched
the passing crowd. When he had fin
ished he put a silver coin on the table
for the garcon and turned to take his
cane Just as Hector stood UP a hand
suddenly appeared, snatched the silver
coin and like a flash the thief disap-
peared around the nearest corner. Hec-
tor quickly threw another coin on the
table, called the waiter and started
after the thief.
Tt was plain the thief knew he was
being pursued and equally plain that
he was novice, for he darted through
one street after the other and at last
came out about 100 yards from the
place where he started, with Hector at
his heels.
Both stopped and Hector said
roughly: Hard back that money"
The light from an archlamp fell on his
face and fllumined the saddest human
features Hector had ever seen.
The man was very young, his face
was thin and pale, and his black hair
and mOuSIacne maze MIN look almost
like q ghost. His clothes were thread
bare and barely covered his shivering
emaciated body. At the sight of his
miserable condition Hector almost felt
as if he were the sinner himself and
when the man silently handed him back
the silver coin. he could not speak a
word.
He took the coin. replaced it into
his pocketbook. and handing the thief
pocketbook and all rushed away as If
he were the transgressor.
After 10 years hard work Hector had
at last made q name for himself as
journalist and art critic. and his opin-

Married Life the Second Year
Mabel Herbert Urner On DehEa O'Donahue

IT ELEM was anxiously watching
the clock. It was half-past
10, and Warren had said the
new maid would be there at 10. He
had gone to the employment agency
the day before and had come home tri-
umphant-said he had secured q
treasure"
And now Helen was impatiently
awaiting her coming. The breakfast
dishes were unwashed and the apart
ment in a state of confusion. She had
managed to give Warren a cup of cof-
fee and a roll; but with the baby de-
handing attention she could do moth
ling more.
Eleven o'clock and still no maid. At
half past II Helen went to the tele-
phone.
1925 CORTLAND Hello! I'd like to
speak TO Mr.. Curtis. Yes, this is Mrs
Curtis"
A moments wait.
ooh. Warren, didn't you say she
promised to be here at 10? Well. she
hasn't arrived yet And are you sure
she got the right address? Did YOU
write it down for her yourself Shall
I? All right. Goodbye"
Then she took down the telephone
book and turned hurriedly to the Re
lance Employment Bureau.

ment bureau?"
Helen Grows Impatient.
We'll, the maid my husband en-
gagged yesterday hasn't arrived
Mrs Curtis impressively Mrs.
Warren Curtis. Very well. TIL hold
the phone" A long wait in which
Helen fmpatiently tore tiny strips from
the cover of the telephone book.
You can't? She hasn't been there
at all this morning? No, I don't want
you TO send anyone else-I want the
one my husband engaged. You think
she may be here after lunch2 Well
I'll wait until then"
Helen Strengthened and busted the

had her lunch-a glass of milk and
some erackers-from corner of the
table in the untidy kitchen-but still
no maid
Again she telephoned to Warren, and
then again to the employment bureau.
They would be glad TO send her an
other maid but they really couldn't
tell why the one her husband engaged
hadn't reached them. Helen still per-
sisted that she wanted no other-she
would walt little longer
AT nail past three, when, in despair,
Helen was about to gein at the
kitchen herself. the door bell rang. A
tail Irish girl, with shaggy black furs
and an immense hat with huge feath-
er confronted her
Enter Della O'Donoghue.
"Oh, are you the new maid?"
I'm Della O'Donoughue."
But 1 thought you were to come

calmly. offering no explanation as to
why she couldn't
Helen led the way into the dining
room.
7 suppose you have references?"
The girl took from her hand bag
several letters. Helen glanced over
them They were the same meaning
less letters of recommendation that
all servants, no matter how incompe-
tent manage to havel Before Helen
realized it, she found that herself, and
not the maid, was being questioned.
What afternoon does you give OFF,
Usually Thursday"
And every other Sunday?"
Unless we have company. you can
get off at half-past three every Sun
day"
And there's no washin'?''
Except a few things for the baby

We'll. If there's to be any washin'
