their devastating way through the
world, breaking hearts and running
homes, and who think they have suf-

at their feet to bring the dogcart back.

again toward the moor. There was
little conversation. The driver was tao

by the dark loneliness.
At the Grange House they were met
by Philip Anson. He stood in the open
doorway He held a handkerchief to
his lips and spoke in a husky voice,
the voice of one under the stress of
great agitation:
That you. Green? Just give my bag
to the driver and return TO the village,
Here is a FIVE pound note. Pay your
bill and go back to London by the first

days"
The astonished servant took the note.
Before he could reply his master
turned, crossed a room feebly lighted
by dull lamp and passed through a
curtained doorway
Green was staring perplexedly at the
house, the kitchen, his ill-favored com
panion carrying Philips portmanteau
within, when he heard his masters
voice again, and saw him standing be-
tween the partly drawn curtains, with
his face quite visible in the dim rays of
the lamp.

| there was, when the keeper finally
found it, scarcely more than half of 1t
left. The raven had gobbled down the
rest.
Next morning the snow, after fall
ing all night, drew off with the sun
white in a fresh and deeper mantle
Both ravens were awake before dawn
and very hungry; for birds require a
lot Of food to keep them going, much
more than animals do by comparison.
The First Find.
The old cock raven set off at once,
with a mighty rustic Of wings for the
lowlands, deciding that there was
nothing left on the mOors to die, or
to help to die. His first find was a
doe red deer in a sheltered pine wood.
She had got into a deep drift OF
snow, and was unable to get out
again. The raven perched on the bare
branch of a tree nearby and waited
for her to freeze He was used TO
this kind Of waiting by the way.
Unfortunately, however, the deer
would not freeze TO death She con-
tinued her struggles to get out and
that kept her warm.
He flew down and beat the doe
about her defenseless head with his
big pickax shaped beak; and even as
he did so, silently as little boys steal
ing apples leave when the farmer
comes in sight, all that company OF
gathered bandits slipped away
There came a short sharp report
and a rife bullet spat the snow up
directly under the ravens breast; and
the bird, looking up, beheld ~ LA

Green got down, unfastened the port

greatly by the unexpected developments
of the last few minutes, but he was
discreet and well trained.
He liked his young master, and would
do anything TO serve his interests.
Moreover, the ways of milllonaires were
not the ways of other men. All he
could do was to hear and obey.

don't know that my tango move
ment is so very different from that
of other people, but l will try to
give a very lucid description of 1t

At the end of the third movement

position is of course maintained for

People who haven't enough brains to

intelligence to keep them from wound

A Parallel.

What reason. that anybody ought to
be expected to accept can an intelli-
gent human being give for not think
ing? 1t always reminds me of a COL
ored philosopher once knew. who
melted out a stern justice TO her off
spring, and who was particularly Sc

the excuse, 81 didn't think" by way of
a panacea for their shortcomings.
Didn't think, didn't think" she would
exclaim, wrathfully. "whut's de good in
havin' thinker eff you don't wuk it7'
So say we all. brethren and sisters
what's the user
To take the matter up in It's most
practical aspect is to recognize the fact
that IT is other peoples carelessness
that lays our heaviest burdens upon
us. This is especially true as regards
women, and there isn't a mother, and
wife, and housekeeper in the land who
doesn't know that 1t is because her
family don't think that she must slave
at a never ending job, that has no let
up from years end to years end.
Even more to be deplored than this
is the lack of thought we show in our
conduct to those of our own household
and whose happiness or misery lies in
our hands. l often think that when
the great judgment day comes for each
Of us, and we must answer for the deeds
done in the flesh. we shall not be so
appalled, by the one or two great wrongs
we may have committed as by the thou
sand little acts of criminal carelessness
that darken our past.

thors OF our own scandals, and that
our own servants are the dissemina-
tors. They get a word here and there,
and put their own Interpretation on it,
and the result is that regulations are
ruined.
Mr.. and Mrs. X discuss family
finances at the table, and Mr.. x. re-
marks that they can't afford so and so.
Listening Mary Jane, bringing in the
dinner, picks up few sentences, and
by the time she has confided what she
thought she heard to Mrs. Jones cook,
and she has passed It on to Mrs. Browns
nurse, all the world Is aware of a r,l-
NOR that the KS are topping on the
verge of bankruptcy and can't pay their
servants. We despise the base rumor
we call kitchen gossip, but we listen to
it. 1t makes and mars characters, and
the pity of the thing is that 1t is our
own criminal carelessness that lays its
foundations.
There are also the crinntnally careless
people who terrorize society with the
malapropos remarks. forbidden sub
iect draws them on to their doom as
surely and irresistibly as the magnet
attracts the needle. II there is a tender
spot in your soul they put their finger
right on 1t. Let an old maid be present
and they get funny on the subject Of
women who are trying to marry. Is
there divorced person IN the company,
wild horses couldn't draw them away
from a discussion of marital unhappi-
ness. Has somebody a son who is a
black sheep and who has brought shame
and sorrow on his family, they dis
course on forgery and betrayed trusts
and prisons.

The Saddest Sight.

What, for instance. are those hus-
bands going to say who took the jewel
of a womans happiness in their keep
ing and then we're so careless that they
threw 1t away? The world is full of
heart-hungry wives, who are starving
for a little appreciation. little love,
little praise. We don't recognize It as
a tragedy because we are too familiar
with II; but there is really no sight
sadder than Of the woman who spends
her life trying to please a husband who
accepts her labor without thanks, who
passes over her achievements without
commentator, and who growls and
grumbles over every mistake.
Another place where we deserve to do
time for our criminal carelessness is
in the way we talk before servants.
We discuss the most intimate. matters
before them. We hazard guesses at
peoples motives We repeat rumors of
intrigues. We talk as If the maid who
was waiting behind our chair we're as
deaf as the adder of the scriptures and
dumb as a coffin nail, instead of be-
ing an elongated ear and a talking ma
chine combined.
Then when a distorted and garbled
report goes forth of some family hap
pening we wonder how on earth It got
out. Perhaps it is not far short of the
truth to say that We are all the au-
