Too Much Printed Matter2

There never was time. at least
during the last 200 years, when the
difficulties in the way of making an
efficient use of books were greater
than they are today, when the obsta-
cles were more real between readers
and the right books to read, when it
was practically so troublesome to find
cut that which is of vital Importance
to know; and that not by the dearth.
but by the plethora of printed matter.
For it comes to nearly the same thing.
whether we are actually debarred by
physical impossibility from getting the
right book into our hand, or whether
we are choked off from the right book
by the obtrusive crowd of the wrong
books; so that it needs a strong charac-
ter and resolute system of reading
to keep the head cool in the storm of
literature around us.-Frederick Har-
rison.

CHAPTER K.
Dorothy March Talks.

Matinee girls in the Forrest Theater
differ from their sisters of other New
York playhouses in that they are far
more serious than anybody in the eve
ming audiences. Caramels, marshmal-
lows, chocolate creams are forbidden
by the unwritten law of their cult.
The utmost nOurishment one of them
can allow herself is a sailed almond
nibbled surreptitiously between de
corous little outbursts of kid-gloved
applause. 1t is not the sort of gather
ing in which one would expect to find
the busiest sleuth of the Headquarters
staff, especially with a great diamond
mystery on his hands. Yet, on one
of those warm January afternoons
that make the metropolis wonder If it
is being metamorphosed into a winter
resort, one of the most interested aud
itors in the select little theater was
Detective-Lieutenant Britt, of Man
ning's staff
Britt found the somebody he sought
when his gaze fell on slim little fig
ure in the trimmest of dove-colored
gowns, sitting in the fifth row off the
center aisle. Instantly his last pre-
tense of attention to the play van
ished. Keeping his eyes on the gray
curves of the girl in the fifth row, he
quilted his post at one side Of the
house and walked slowly to the main
exit, whence he watched her until the
curtain fell on the first act. Mean
while, he scrubbed on a card. slipped
liberal tip into the receptive hand
of an usher, and indicated ths object
of his interest. When the cuYtain fell
on the first act, the usher hurried
down the aisle, and presented the
card to the girl in gray.
IF Miss March," read the young
woman. will spare a few minutes TO
Britt, OF Headquarters, she will con-
fer favor and serve her friend, Mrs.
Missioner"
Dorothy gathered her wrap, glasses
and program quickly apd followed the
usher TO the back of the theater. The
youth led her to the famous detective,
whom, though she hsd heard of him
through Doris Missioner, she beheld
for the first time.
you wished to see me?" inquired
Dorothy 1t was a banal question, and
a flush tinged her cheeks as she re-
allied its superfuousness could not es-
