When it came to me the first thing
saw was-Laurette' crucifix.
I stared at my host
Where did you get this?" said in a
loud voice
The conversation Immediately stopped.
The baron started to answer, but he
could only stammer a few confused
words and turned pale as ghost.
DO you know that 1 have been look

said as calmly as 1 could. Fifteen
years ago my sweetheart, Laurette Fer
rari, was found murdered near Pisa and
this little crucifiX, which / had given
her, was missing"
After a short pause I stood up, point
ing at the pale, trembling baron and
said:
Il remember now you told me you
once stopped at Pisa for some time. 1t
was you baron LaumOnt, who murdered
my sweetheart because she refused to
listen to you. Deny II if you dare"
The baron had fallen back into his
chair.
Il did not know did not know
that you were" he gasped.
NO. of course, you did not know, or
you would have taken care to destroy
this proof of your crime I interrupted
him coldly, but the blood of the limo

Again he attempted to answer But
his voice failed. He stood UP and left
the room
The door had barely closed before
they all began to question me, but
remained silent until a servant entered
pale and trembling and haaded me a
letter in the baron's handwriting

confession Laurette had turned him
away several times and he had killed
her in a fit of anger. When he after

the servant.

of a responsible faculty.
Learn to Produce Newspapers.
MANY schools and colleges have had
courses of lectures on journalism, out
the new movement in journalistic edu-
cation has for its fundamental and dis
1nctive feature the application of the
laboratory principle Of teaching The
students in the present day schools Of
Journalism learn to produce neWspa-
pers by producing neWspaL ers IN
nearly every college or university
where journalism is now taught the
students issue, under faculty supervis-
ion and direction a neWspaper-usu-
ally daily eWspaper-the work on
which, other than mechanical is done
entirely by the journalism students.
In some cases even the mechanical
WOrk-typesetu and press work
the entire production, is by the stu
dents. AS the hospital supplies bed
side instruction to the student of med
icine, the training school practice in
teaching to the student OF education
and the moot court a laboratory for
the student of law, so the newspaper
office affords actual laboratory prac-
tice for students in journalism Many
OF these newspapers aren OF mere col
lege journals but are general news
papers, giving the news of the com
munity in which they are published
They carry advertising in their col
umns and have regular subscription
table business enterprises These
new schools of journalism are not the
oretical, they are intensely practical
The Final Test.
The final test of the success Of
these schools Of journalism must come,
OF course, IN the success Of those who
are graduated from them This test
has been successfully made in many
cases by the scores Of graduates and
former students who have taken work
in journalism in the new schools and
VINO are now holding responsible posi-
tons in American journalism.
1T is not expected to make journal
lists in these new schools any more
than lawyers can be manufactured in
a law school or doctors in a school OF
medicine. 1t is expected. however. to
train for journalism by adding to the
Intellectual training and resources and
the professional equipment of the stu
dents. 1t has been said that journal
lists need no training The claim is
made that the reporter is born, not
made. 1t has been urged that there is
something mysterious about neWspa-
per work which only those dirineIy
Inspired may know. This was said
formerly about lawyers and doctors
and preachers and indeed the followers
of every vocation 1t is no more true
Of Journalism, the teachers say, than
Of any other occupation
He who has a pronounced natural
bent toward any particular work viii,
Of course. dc better work than he who
is not so inclined by nature and tenn
permanent. 1t does not follow, how
ever, that training is unnecessary to
the highest equipment 1t is absurd to
suppose that an unframed, uneducated,
unequipped man may be as successful
in Journalism as one whose training is
broad, whose knowledge is large,
whose clearness Of vision has been in
creased. and whose equipment in gen
eral has been enlarged by training in
a school"

D0rothy Dix. o. "a. Ar At 5ss. 5.:5
Things to Avoid if You Would Be Popular.

b6TF THE first aid to popularity IS
to- refrain from talking about
yourself. the next step in the art
OF being liked is to lend an interested
and sympathetic ear while other people
discourse endlessly about themselves
and their affairs"
This is hard saying, and probably
the reason that more OF Us never have
loving cups presented to US by an ad-
miring public is because it takes a cour-
age that is nothing less than sublime to
keep silence concerning our own per-
fectly fascinating selves, the while we
listen to some deadly dull bore mauneer
on about his miserable belongings ana
tWO-penny achievements and stupid
children. Carnegie hero medals are dis
tributed for less cause. But the reward
of the patient listener is an almost sla-
wish alteration from his fellow crea-
lures.
Self is a harp of a thousand strings
upon which we can always play with
a sure hand, and that evokes a music
that will make everybody we meet 90
up and follow US as long as we sing
the saga of their own performances
The Pied Piper of Hamelintwas a piker
compared to a talented listener.
Be a Listener.
Therefore. if you wish to be sought
after YOU have only to lead people to
talk about their own affairs Just ask
Mr.. Man to tell you the details of that
coup he made in the stock market. or
how many miles day he averaged on
the automobile run from here to Chi
cago, or about the pedigree of his dog.
You will see a joyous light leap into
his eyes, and he will want to take YOU
out and buy YOU food and drink, and
he VIII follow you down the steps. and
hold. you by the buttonhole and chant
your praises from Dan 70 BeerSheba-
More; He viii be convinced that YOU
are one Of the most intelligent and
level-headed men he ever met with the
best Judgment and the sOundest taste
and the most brilliant conversational
powers.
If you are woman and want to be
popular with other women the short cut
to their liking is through the same
door Ihus, lead Mrs Woman to tell
you all about her clubs, and her clothes.
and her children, and her servants. and
say nothing at all of your own any
more than If you were a hermit IN the
wilderness, with few fig leaves for q
gown instead of an imported Paris
frock, and you win find yourself so
oveTrun with invitations for dinners
and luncheons that you could live on
them If necessary.
Of course, i am not denying that to
sacrifice the superlative JOY of blowing
ones own hOrn-Which is without doubr
the most unalloyed pleasure on earth.-
IS terrific price to pay for popularity
merely state 1t as a fact that popu-
larity can be bought at this price and
you can take it or leave il. as you like.
Besides the policy of keeping silent
about yourself because IL bores people
TO hear about you. and listening to them
talk about themselves because IT tickleS
their vanity to do So there is a very
tender and human side to this phase OF
the subject
1t is the friendIiness. the humanity.
