atty was expected. She insisted upon
his waiting while she demonstrated
to him the correct way of dealing with
broken collar-bone. A pad being
necessary to place beneath the pa
tents arm, and her father being in a
very great hurry, Elizabeth could
think of nothing better suited to her
needs than sponge. She accordingly
fetched one, and placed it beneath
her parents arm, and, unfortunately,
she realized too late that a sponge
should be carefully squeezed before
being placed upon court suit of vel
vet.
But even if Elizabeth's zeal did at
times Outrun her performance, her in
tentions were undeniably good, and
her family, though not well versed
themselves in the subject Of first
aid" was justly proud of their patri-
otto daughter.
The first course of lectures was
drawing to close, the examination
was at hand, and what Elizabeth felt
she most needed was practical expe-
rience.
She roamed the park daily in search
Of accidents. She frequently visited
the Rotten Row, and found herself
fervently longing that some unfortu-
nate individual might see fit to break
a limb. Elizabeth's search, however,
remained for many weeks unrewarded.
She became quite Respondent, and in
deed almost lost her faith in the dead
Illness Of motor buses. Had she been
able to drive her own car, doubtless
her efforts would have frequently met
with success; but Richards, the chauf-
feur, who had suffered acutely in
Elizabeth's hands more than once, was
wise enough to drive even more pru-
IDENTIFY than ever.
Elizabeth now never left the house
without pair of scissors and a box
of safety pins in her pocket. She
relied upon her petticoat, or even her
skirt, for bandage, and carried an UNI
brella in all weathers, which in an
emergency could quickly be converted
into splint.
At last the great day came: but UNI
fortunately 1t did not come at time
when Elizabeth was entirely prepared.

seQuently was magnificently clothed

How tho AIsatian Was Saved.

The kaiser's thunderings against Al
sace-Lorraine recall a story illustrat-
ing the state of feeling between the
French and Germans in Alsace. An
Alsatian fell into the Rhine. He was
unable to swim, but he managed to lay
hold on log and screamed out in his
native French for help. A German po-
liceman standing on the bank regard

strangling his native pride, repeated
his cry in German, but still the police
man stood coldly watching him. Then
an inspiration came to the man In the
water. "Vive la France!" he cried.
And the policeman Immediately
plunged into the river and arrested
him. -------.------

Tobin Plans
a Holiday

Tobin Oliver, the artist, lived with
his mother and little sister Clarissa In
a rather nice boarding house; so nice,
indeed. that in order to meet the
board bill the divers had to tuck
themselves away in two tiny rooms ON
the fourth floor back.
Tobin was patient, kindly person.
with hair thinning on his temples and
q stoop to his shoulders which made
him look very much older than he
should, for he was still very young.
When he was a boy he had had
dreams, even as other young artists
have, of painting pictures that would
astound the world; but now that his
father was dead and he had his moth
er and sister to support, he chiefly
! dreamed of lodging the laundryman,
and spent his idle moments in figuring
how to pay for Clarissa's schooling.
These calculations allowed of no
margins for expensive recreation, yet
Tobin was contemplating piece Of
wild extravaganza. Thus it was par
ticularly disconcerting when Clarissa.

turned her pleading eyes upon him.
please, Tobin, can't go to the
circus?"
Clarissa was an uncomfortably clev-
er child, with pretty. eager face,
and frightfully long legs. She was
Tobin's only model, and posed for
everything he did, from fat policemen
and colored mammies, to fashion
plates and soothing syrup babies. She
was draped over a chair now, with
mirror and powder puff in hand, and
Tobin was drawing her as an adver-
tisement for American Belle Beauti-
tying Cream. He had no intention Of
taking her to the circus, so he pre-
tended to be very busy with his pic
ture, and assiduously splashed the
paint on the highly colored cheeks Of
the American belle.
But Clarissa was not thus easily ST.
, fenced. She squirmed around in her
j chair and repeated insistently:

Because 1t was a moonlit summer
evening and they were young. happy
and courageous, they bore the inflic-
ton Of Billy's music without throwing
things at him. They liked Billy 80
much that even his joyous rendition
Of "Juanita" In q sweet but hardly &C
curate tenor voice to the twang OF
his guitar was received with patience,
albeit neither man nor girl on the
wide, cushion-strewn veranda ceased
talking or laughing or flirting. They
knew Billy would not expect that even
from guests.
Billy looked out on the little lake
to a boat that driftad in the white
path made by the moon on the water,
and wondered what James STAFFORD
was saying to Stella. The wonder
made him so wretched that he began
an agonizing improvisation on the
Spanish Cavalier" with one Of the
guitar strings bit fiat. Then he nc
ticed that Norma Main had come near
to him, the only silent one there, sit
ting on the top step, her fair head
on her hands, her elbows on her
knees.
1t struck him that Norma, poor
child, needed comfort, too. By some
sixth sense he knew that Jimmy
should in decency be saying to her
whatever he was saying to Stella. He
pondered miserab,y as to the reason
Stella might have for suddenly evad-
ing him, Billy, and being ceaselessly
with the other man. She knew, too,
that Norma and STAFFORD were lovers,
If not actually engaged. That made
her behavior worse
Then, to relieve his own pain, and
add to that Of those who had to
listen. he sang "The Spanish Cava-
ller." and then "In Old Madrid" and
then "Juanita" over again. He knew
only the three songs, which was for
tunate, for had he known another he
would have rendered that also. As
it was, he finally put down the long
suffering instrument and tried to talk
with Norma.
The girl answered briefly in such
queer, half-choked little voice that he

mored, so Tobin answered discreetly:
81 don't know whether you can or not.
I'll think it over and see if it can be
managed"
THAT quoted the trusting Clarissa,
but Tobin began to feel shamefupy
deceitful. He knew that he was not
going to take Clarissa to the circus,
as he had already planned to take
some one else, the most precious per-
son in the world. For in the front
room of Mrs. Bosey's fourth floor lived
Tobin's inspiration, she who would
have been the lady of his dreams If he
had ever had time for dreaming. This
Diana Garland was an energetic, hap
py little woman, with red hair and
snappy eyes, and though she smiled
very often in public Tobin wisely sus-
pected that she cried rather often in
private. Teaching music in third
rate boarding school is not the ideal
existence for girl, and whenever an
anxious quicker appeared on Diana's
white brow, Tobin knew that she was
feeling rather forlorn.
There was trouble at the boarding
school one week and the quicker stayed
so long on Diana's forehead that To
bin feared it was becoming permanent.
He longed to comfort her, but there
was nothing he could do until Diana
remarked quite casually one morning
that the circus was coming to town
and that she would like to see the
baby giraffe. That gave Tobin his OPP
portunity. He knew 1t was a reckless
waste of money, but what cared he
for filthy lucre? He was too poor to
offer Diana his hand and heart, but he
could at least offer her glimpse of
the baby giraffe
One wild act brings on another, and
having determined to take Diana to
the circus, Tobin found himself still
further involved In financial embar-
easements. The American Belle did
not bring in as much as he had expect
etd, and when he went to buy the
tickets he found that he would have
to use Clarissa's commission. AS he
supported Clarissa and willingly sac
rificed his life to hers, there seemed
no real reason why he should pay her
for posing, but it had been his invari-
able custom to give her a fragmentary
share of all that he made on his pic
lures. In keeping back Clarissa's
earnings Tobin felt a. guilty a. Il b

word she sauntered beside him down
to the beach. He took her hand and
put it on his arm. He had known her

talked on, and until he actually heard

brella would be decidedly in the way.
Elizabeth was not so fully equipped
for emergency as was her custom.
+; 1t happened in this way.
AS Elizabeth passed the park gates
In her motor, a young man rode out in
to the road. His horse was nervous,
and chose to take fright at the big
car. Elizabeth did not see clearly
just what happened, which was not
surprising, as she shut her eyes and
placed her fingers firmly in her ears
as the horse began to plunge.
To be quite fair. however. Elizabeth
recovered quickly, and dinging open
the window, ordered Richards to pull
up instantly. She then dismounted.
splendidly Directoire as she was, and
ran quickly through the mud to where
the young man lay in the midst Of Q
swiftly gathering crowd.
Forcing her way to his side, she
took in the situation at glance.
Pushing away the policeman who was
supporting the boys head, she pulled
of her Directoire jacket, and rolling
it into a ball with fine carelessness.
she placed it in the mud as a sup
port to the young mans shoulders.
Imagine her surprise when, as she was
about to make an elaborate Uranium
bandage" upon the Esmark basis, stall
wart young woman forced her way
through the crowd and knelt down at
his other side with look of great
determination upon her stern features.
Elizabeth was nonplussed, and regard
ed her rival with annoyance, which
became more acute as she watched
and pins from her pocket and an i'm
mense handkerchief from her sleeve.
Elizabeth got up from her knees and
looked round her in dismay to have
her lawful prey snatched from her
thus was too much. AS she stood
there in great indecision, her eye fell
upon another female form forcing It,
self to the center of the crowd. The
newcomer, fair girl of seventeen or
so, advanced rapidly and with a bust
ness-like air, rolling up her sleeves as
she came. The sight of another in
possession did not seem to disturb her
in the least; she knelt also in the
mud, and for lack of something bet
ter to do, fell to hopping the brow
of the PROSTATE young man with two
inch handkerchief. Elizabeth's gaze
grew wilder, she took step back
wards and turned to flee. AS she did
so, she collided violently with a girl
who, armed with rolls of 'Esmark,"
was flying towards the scene of action.
Elizabeth pressed her brow in an
guish. She caught the policeman's
eye-even he was was smiling, and
subdued litter went round the
crowd.
With shudder Elizabeth gathered
up her clinging skirts, now decorat-
ed with huge patches of mud, and
fed away through the press. With
cry of joy she saw the motor drawn
up beside the curb, and with a sob
she flung herself inside and slammed
/ the door.
1t was only when she had left the
scene of action far behind that Eliz-
abeth thought of her Directoire jack
ct lying in puddle beneath the young
mans shoulders The thought was
too much for her and she dissolved
into tears.
