The rain dripped necessarily. At In

half-peeled limbs of eucalyptus tree
AGAINST the windows in weird taps and
thumps. 1t was the kind Of night when
one feels thankful for shelter and
warmth and Graves company.

street lights and pulled rocker close
to the hearth. The glow of the Goals
was so cheerful that she wanted nightly

awhile. then lost interest
The stiffness finally wore on her nerves.
She got up and moved about, arranging
and rearranging the furniture OF her
small parlor. But time seemed to stand
still The evening had begun early. and
was not half gone.
At last in desperation she got out her
typewriter and set herself a task To be
sure, there was no hurry. She had taken
the work that very day with the under
standing that she had a week in which
to do it. And she had meant to put it
off till the last day. She dSiked tipping

loved. Invariably the nice things went
to the gay, worldly Marys.
With sigh she evened the edges of the

The wind had gone down. the rain seemed
to be over. The house was deathly Still.
Suddenly she was conscious of the ad-

and spent the body.

Pneumonia had been too quick.
Since then she had been afraid of a

be a boy-evidently did not realize his
danger. Dare she wait tin morning? She
went to her medicine case, took vial

HEARD AND SEEN HERE AND THERE.
BY Earl Goodwin.

Aloyos Malovicz wins by a headline!
He comes to America for the second
time, having been exactly balanced be-
tween a successful entry and deportation
at Ellis Island. and 1t was the weight of
a headline in a Milwaukee paper which
tipped the beam on which Aloyos waited
Had 1t not been for that headline Aloyos
would have been shunted back to Austria,
where he would have been deported again
as a religious persona non grata. and in
that way he would go back and forth
across the Atlantic forever and ever, like
shuttle.
People rave and swear at headlines,
just like cowardly men in public life
blame it on the reporter when they are
accurately quoted in something which
makes the wrong impression on the pub
lie, but here was a case where a head
line helped preserve the tradition OF
Americas asylum for those who are OPP
pressed because of their religion. Aloyos
was oppressed. An Austrian cop had
heard him preaching a strange brand OF
religion in an Austrian religious gather
ing.
Where did you get that stun?' he
asked. or words to that effect.
I'm the Milwaukee German Baptist
Church." responded the truthful Aloyos.
And straightway the Austrian police
man arrested Aloyos and tossed him into
an Austrian Jail. While he fingered there
Aloyos thought of the Huguenots. the
martyrs. the massacre of St Bartholo-
NEW, Martin Luther. the Pilgrims and a
large collection of successful persons who
had found America a good haven for
their religious troubles. and he resolved
to come right back to this land, where
he had lived for six years before be-
coming a missionary to the Austrians.
He had lived In Milwaukee and remem-
bered that, taking the beer. dialect and
names on the stores into consideration.
one could almost believe 1t was Germany
or Austria anyhow. He resolved to go
back.
As soon as they decided not to burn
him at the stake. Aloyos bought a third
class ticket to Broadway and Bowling
Green, New York city. L. S. A.. tucked
his savings of $40 in a belt and set his
face westward with firm resolve never
to leave Milwaukee again as long as the
Hobson resolution for nationwide pro-
hibition did not prevail. To all intents
and purposes he was then an American
citizen. He had at one time given notice
that he wanted to be naturalized while
in Milwaukee.

Mr.. T. w. H. Crosland. the author. who

once asked by a certain rather economi-

her to play in during a music hall tour.
Mr.. Crosland said he was prepared to
entertain the idea, subject to terms
being agreeable.
What are you prepared to pay?" he
asked.
.'Oh. wouldn't mind giving a guinea"

Mr. Crosland gasped. When he had

to see him escort Aloyos right in Mil

of the headline took on weight. Stafford
buckled down to work harder than ever,

drew one which gave him the first news

the picture of those big black letters in
the Milwaukee headlines.

told him the names of a lot Of people in

But 1t made no difference. The husky in
