Development of international Law.
The division of international law is
headed by James Brown Scott, former
solicitor for the state department This
division is charged with the duty of
aiding in the de selOpment OF lnterna-
tfonal law and with e encouragement
to the acceptance Of its rules among
nations. 1t has undertaken to work in
the direction of the establishment of a
better understanding of international
rights and a better appreciation Of IN
ternatiOnal justice. 1t also VIII strive
to propose peaceabIe methods for the
settlement of all international disputes.
1t is proposed to make collection OF
all the international treatles OF the
world a collection Of all the laws, Or
dfnances and DEGREES of the various
countries. relating to aliens and inter
national law, and a collection OF ali
judicial decisions calculating these
treaties, laws, ordinances, etc Sena-
tor Root has proposed the making OF
an abstract of the provisions contained
in all the treaties of the world IN
which there are to be found interna-
tfOnal agreements which would, If gen
orally assented to, constitute lnterna-
tional law. 1t is proposed to call con-
ference of the international lawyers
of the world at some early day to con-
slider the common problems of the
countries they represent, and to secure
a working cooperation with the instl-
tute of international law, an organiza-
ton which has in the past been the
pioneer in the field of international
agreement on points of worldwide law.
Financial assistance will be given to
those journals of international law
which have proved their worth in aid
ing the peace movement. The estab-
Hshment of a school of international
law at the Hague probably will be I'M
dertaken by the foundation at no dis
tant date, and something like S40,O
year will be set aside toward its main
tenance. 1t is also proposed to pub
lish all known arbitration treaties, in
ternational and otherwise, and DR..
John Bassett Moore will prepare
paper covering the history of all known
arbitratiOns in the history of interna-
tiOnal relations.
Secretary Is Administration Officer.
The general offices Of the foundation
are located in Washington The ad-
ministratiye official of the organiza-
ton is the secretary. who holds that
position in conjunction with the di-
rectorship of the division of interna-
tional law. The foundation has an
annual income Of half a million dol
lars. For the present fiscal year its
appropriations amount to 1872 OF
this over $4,000 goes to the general

"THE ROMANCE OF 1O1"
By MOIIie Kennedy.

Stemplemayer's was a very smart
west end tea room, and the young Ia
dies who cOndescended to hand round
dainty cups of tea, thinly rolled bread
and butter, and mpting-loOking
cakes, would have been annoyed to have
heard themselves described as wait
reSSes.
There was just one thing. Each girl
had to wear a round silver badge in
the form OF breach, and on this was
a number so that every girl in the shop
became known by this. Her little roll
of tickets carried the same significa-
ton. and there was schedule hang
ing below. stating the time of duty of
of fines, but in no case was she called
by her name. At Stemplemayer's she
lapsed into a number.
A 101 was not the hundred and first
employe; it was simply a matter of
chance, that her badge contained this
number; but all the other girls thought
1t matter of joke and the latest mem
Der of the staff should receive this as
her Specification, so took opportunity
of addressing her by this title.
1t was this, no doubt that caused
Stephen Pagget to look on her with
sudden interest. He glanced up from
his book, pushed aside the plate OF
eclairs, and surprised q look strangely
akin to tears in the eyes of the wait
ress who had charge of his corner OF
the room Now, stephen Pagget hated
tears, but in this instance he was in
terested, not annoyed. and a sudden fit
of chivalry took hold of him.
He gave his order, the girl noted it
down; then. as she returned, he point
ed to the book.
Have you read this?' he asked. ITS
rather good.
She started, colored. hesftated, and
set down her tray. 1t was not wholly
unusual for the girls at Sremplemay-
er's to receive attention from custo-
much older than the rest, and up till
now she had never been spoken to be-
yond receiving the usual curt order
NO. sir" she said as she arranged
his tray. 4 do not read much now"
Her voice was cultured in tone,
evenly mOdulated, and stephen Pagget's
silent comment was "a lady"
Aloud he said, Would you like to
take this and read it? I've just fin
ished it. You can let me have it back
in a weeks time. I'll drop in a week
from today"
The sudden light in her eyes almost
startled him. She must have had but
little, very little kindness showed her.
he told himself. to be so grateful for
little thing like that Thanking him in
the same low tone, she told him she
would be very grateful to accept the
loan of the book, and put il carefully
away. Then she was busy with other
customers until, as Stephen Pagget
finished his tea she came with the
ticket.
Il shall be very interested to hear
your opinion of that book he said

it,
Il wonder what old Bergerson would
say If he knew I'd been lending his
precious book to a tea-shOp girl he
said "Lor'! I don't believe he'd feel
flattered. Yet the girl is a lady; any
body can see that"
Yet he would have been surprised
could he have seen A-101 at that mo-
ment. She stood looking down at the
title page of the book he had lent her,
her eyes big with feeling; yet the curl

Gus look of concentrated hate was
strange to see. Suddenly she put down
the book with a gesture of disgust.

whisper. He has done this. 1 hate

found me out. and this is his way of
letting me know"
Her pale cheeks flushed. and as she
went back to her duties more than one
Of her companions looked at her in
surprise.
Stephen Pagget did not enter Stem
pdemayer's until the day he had st1pu-
lated, and A-1O1 did not take the book
back with her until that morning. In
stead she read it through again and
yet again a third time At the third
reading her eyes were a little puzzled.
Austin must have grown different. =
she said to herself, else he could
never have written this book"
But when stephen Pagget asked her
what she thought of the book her
mouth grew d little hard She vouch-
safed scanty Ifaise.

what seemed to her his thunderbolt.
Have you read his other boOks?'
he queried.
She hesitated. colored. then shook
her head.
I don't think I should care for
them" she said. I don't like books
which pretend to be just clever and
nothing more"
He smiled. took back the book and
said no more. But the next day he came
again and came to the same corner OF
the tea room. For a few weeks at
more or less irregular intervals he was
there, and A-1O1 grew almost to expect
his coming Then one day he did not
come alone. A tall, stoop-shouldered,
gray haired man accompanied him, and
for a minute or two A-I01, who had
seen them both enter, stood as though
frozen to stone. Yet she had all along
expected this to happen, and after a
pause of a minute came forward with
her usual claim. The gray haired man
took little notice or her-indeed he
might be said to take no notice at all
but Stephen Pagget fidgeted about as
though he had something to say. She
gave him little chance, slipping away
