Itch and I began to scratch. For

the blood would soak through my un-

I was very much ashamed. The itch

Marathon between the Office, the dress

ter, the supper, then home, writes
Kate Masterson in Lipincott's Maya
zine.
Life to us takes on the guise of
press. Houses, humans, cows, sheep,
flash by in confusion. We get imprcs-
sions rather than clear views. Even
our friendships, our loves and our
hates are misty, indistinct affairs. that
come and go and become dreams.
Our memories are blurs, for the
rush of today IS upon us, and tomor-
row is treading upon our heels. A
hand-clasp and good-by, and we part
from a comrade, each hurrying on his
own way, for there is no time for
cronyship. Our national gait and our
quick lunch system have made count
less thousands merry. We are the
push!

gardens and stopping an hour each
day for tea, though the heavens fall.
"And the Parisians with their
grand dejeuner, their coffee under the
trees on the Bots, their hour for the
aperitif-so many pauses, in fact, for
pleasure, that the business day is cut
to few hours, and it suffices. The
speed maniac may call upon us to OBJ
serve our own achievement, our prog

lot Of other things. But is the art of
living rightly not worth while? Are
we getting as much out of life as we
might if we stayed our pace and
went more slowly down the path that
leads into the sunset?

Sunchinq the Germs.

In an office building whose seventh
floor is occupied largely by doctors
one elevator displays the sign:
Take this elevator for doctors
Offices"
"Why are doctors callers restricted
to this one carr" asked a passenger.
Germs" said the operator. "a lot
of the tenants in this building are
more afraid of germ than of gat-
ling gun. Most people who visit a
doctor are supposed to have germs of
one kind or another, and the regular
tenants object to riding in the same
elevator with them. They raised big
row when the doctors moved in and
threatened to leave, but the trouble
was finally settled by making the sick
folk stick to one elevator"

Last Colds All Take Honors.

The passing of co-education at Wes-
1eyan University Is made notable by
the fact that every young woman IN
the graduating class this year, which
is to be the last class of women to re-
ceive diplomas from the university.
has been awarded honorary member
ship in the high scholarship society of
Phi Beta Kappa. Only a small proper
ton of the men received this honor.
One of the arguments which the
men students have advanced against
co-education, which becomes extinct
at Wesleyan this year, is that the
young women have taken scholarship
honors which otherwise would have
gone to men.-Washingto Evening

for couple of days, and | got the
money back and more with it. { | had
many a talk with Temple, and found
that he lived in Dobbs Ferry, in a
splendid mansion. / judged that he
was the black sheep in the family,
for his brothers were all in business,
he told me, and he did nothing but
blow in an allowance which he re-
ceived from his father.
During one of our chats he told
me that his father kept a big bank
roll in his safe at home, and the only
reason he gave for it was that the
old man was getting cranky. | be-
came deeply interested in the story,
owing to the hard times that had
struck the firm Of Wooley & Spengler,
and tried to get Temple to fix limit
On the old mans pile. He couldn't
or wouldn't do it, and l sent Andy up
to Dobbs Ferry to take look at the
Temple mansion, to find out what
sort of prospect there was for an
exchange Of the Temple bank-roll.
The house was far in the country and
about on the dividing line with Hast
ings. Andy came back with a report
that the game was as easy as the
kick Of a goose, and the coin-box was
like finding it in the street. | did not
exactly relish going back to old
tricks, but something had to be done,
and that was all there was about it.
The plan of the house showed that it
was adapted for second-story work,
and there were only two men who
lived in it. One was my young friend
Temple and the other was the old
man. The other inmates were women;
two or three daughters and domes-

so as to know what tools could best
be used to open it.
eve picked out for our visit very
stormy night, when we knew that
young Temple was in the city blow
ing in his allowance. This left us
only the old man to deal with and the
women. We went up the river on an
early train as far as Yonkers and
there I got carriage from solid
friend of mine who knew enough to
keep his mouth shut and ask no
questions. We reached the Temple
house before midnight. All the lights
were out and Andy went up a pillar
on the back piazza to the roof and
fastened rope ladder for future use.
We got into the house in about five
minutes. We went to the different
rooms on the second floor and found
old Temple alone in bed asleep.
There was no one in the adjoining
rooms, and I woke him up. l made
things plain to him: 1t was simply to
give up the safe combination or lose
his life He was badly scared, and
said that he would open the strong
box. He got up, shaking like leaf,
and took us to an Office off the dining
room. I made lights in several rooms
so that the light in the office would
not attract attention, while Andy had
the old man working on the lock.
When l returned to the Office the old
man groaned suddenly, placed his
hand over his heart and fell heavily
against the safe door. He was UNI
conscious, and we carried him into
another room, opened the safe and
cleaned it out. We reached New
York before daylight with big roll
of securities and $4,000 in money"
