He had found the women Of his high
official world-a narrower world than
he realized-much alike. Striking GER
tain keys, certain chords responded.
He could probe the depths of their
minds, he thought, in a single evening.
Then he passed on, unless 1t was in
the interest of pleasure or of his ca
reer to linger. This meeting had left
his curiosity bafied. He understood
how Marta's vitality demanded action,
which exerted itself In a feminine way
for a feminine cause. The cure for
such a fad was most clear to his mas
culine perception. What If all the
power she had shown in hey appeal for
peace could be made to serve another
ambition? He knew that he vas a
great man. More than once he had
wondered what would happen If he
were to meet a great woman. And he
should not see Marta Galland again
unless war came.

TOOK AWAY HIS APPETITE
Lover Of Minee Pie Had Decided OBJ
lection to Sharing the peIicaey
With Restaurant Cat.

Until recently Detective Sergeant
Tim Bailey was a lover of mince pie.
Today II anyone offered him a bakery
full Of mincei pies he would turn on
his heel and do a quick countermarch.
F~iguratiyely he has had his fill Of the
good old pastry.
At dinner time one day not long
ago Bailey went into a little restaurant
near the Hall Of Justice. Three
boiled eggs. a cup Of Java and a 10 by
IA wedge Of mince pie" he told the
waiter.
Bailey polished OF the eggs and
coffee in great shape. and then at
tackled the pie. He had just begun
when a big black cat that had been
reposing on the counter a few feet
away awoke, stretched. struck at a
vagrant' fly with a chubby paw. and
then leaped into the display window
of the place. The window was laden
with delicacies to allure the hungry
passerby.
The. first thing that Tabby made for
was the remains Of the pie that had
been cut for Bailey. Kitty's first bite
was Bailey's last. He dropped his
fork with a bang. reached for his hat
and rushed up to the counter.
"Sa-a-y." he cried. what are you
running here, a restaurant or q ken;

away down the street before the
dazed keeper Of the place could catch
his breath.-New York Times.

A man living on the West side has
not been feeling very well recently
and after much urging from the wife
consented to sleep in a couch ham

The first night his wife made up a
nice little bunk for him in the ham
mock, and in q few minutes he was
sound asleep.
He had slept about an hour when he
was awakened by his anxious WIFE
who came out to see II he was sleep
ing all right. Being assured that sleep
and the man we're bosom friends, the
wife withdrew and once more the man
slept. This time he rested a little
over an hour before his wife once
more appeared on the scene and anx'
iously inquired how hubby was sleep

time over being aroused from a good
solid sleep twice, and curtly Informed
the wife that he was doing all that
could be expected In the sleep line.
WHEY again retired into the house,
and hubby was soon snoring and en-
joying his rest.
Wiley stood It as long as she could
but shortly before midnight she again
tiptoed out onto the rear piazza and,
after rousing hubby from his sleep for
the third time, sweetly inquired II he
was sleeping all right. Hubby didn't
