''Her Fighting Chance"
American

| Jim Corbin came into the breakfast
| room. propped a book open against
| the sugar bowl back of his grape
fruit, and devoted himself to fruit
and fiction without even a nod of
greeting for the pretty woman seated
opposite to him. She toyed with her
breakfast, seemed about to speak
! several times, and finally. in a timid
voice, did remark, Jim
Edith, can't you see I'm busy" he
snapped shortly. II have to wade
through this thing of Anstruther's,
and then I have a full day of writing
ahead of me besides | wish you

how Interruptions upset me-
Edith shrugged her shoulders and
said no more, but the atmosphere of
the room was of the flavor of grape
fruit seeds and segment fibers. When
the children came romping in Jim
was ready to go, but he stopped to
give each good morning kiss, and
then hurried away to his work with
out a glance at his wife This sort
of thing was not EXCEPTIONAL it had
come to be the customary routine in
the home that had started ,out so
happily. At first Edith had Joined in
the coddling process her rising novel
list husband had believed essential to
his mental efficiency, but in time
as book followed book, and the habit
strengthened, she grew tired of the
lack of companionship and the re-
straint to which she was subjected,
through his selfish absorption. For
an outlet she flung herself into social
interests and became a tango tea and
bridge fan. This her husband resent
ed, though he did not tell her so, and
they drifted farther and farther
apart, their only common. interest
finally becoming their children. Jim
concluded his home was too uncom-
Portable for him to work in, so he
transferred his workshop to an office
at the top of the skyscraper.
One day in his mail there was a
letter expressing appreciation of his
work that struck an especially re-
sponsive chord in him. 1t was from
girl Nell Dare. and it took hold |
of his imagination to such an extent |
that he answered il, beginning q |
correspondence that led to an epis |
tolary mountaineering in which he |
learned OF the girls literary ambi-
lions, and took it upon himself to |
place some of her stories with his

she herself took some OF the short
stories down to her publishers. The
work bore fruit, and soon the name of
Edith Corbin appeared in periodicals.
The novel was accepted, and its pub
LEGATION date was almost coincident
with that OF Corbin's return home.
When they went back 10 town Nell
gave UP her old apartment, without
leaving her new address, and took
the train for a distant city.
Jim's first move, on reaching his
rooms, was TO telephone to Nell, but
he was met by blank unresponse. In
his mail there was a note from her
saying that though she loved him she
had gone away, feeling that he owed
himself 10 his wife, to whom he had
never given a chance, Angry at her
decision, he went off TO his club,
where he found a group of fellows
collected around a table discussing a
book one of them had. On the jacket
of the book were the words, by
Edith Corbin.n That evening he went
home. Together he and Edith visited
the sleeping children in the nursery.
He kissed them, and then she laid her
hand on his arm. Jim" she said.
He hesitated a moment Edith,
we'll begin over again" he answered
softly as they left the room.

THE AWAKENING OF BARBARA

Barbara Dare was a stern. stiff

could not understand her clergyman S
sons marriage with a daughter OF
the south, and who could not tolerate
the girls bubbling lightness of spirit
when her husband brought her home.
In time Barbara chilled the girls
spirit by her constant attitude of dis
approval, reducing her to a shadow
of her former self.
The crisis came one day, when John
Dare, as he was boarding a train for
the city. met an old Southern &C
quaintance getting off. and told him
to go and see Dorothy. Moreland' s
visit and the flowers he brought were
misunderstood by Barbara, who
makes the situation very unpleasant,
telling the girl in her wrath that she
was running her husbands reputation
by her light goings-on.
Dorothy, keenly hurt by this idea,
decides to so away, and set out, but

REVENUE STAMPS ON
BILLS OF LADIMG

Effective December 1st, a one
cent revenue stamp will be re-
quired on all bills of lading is
sued to shippers by the railroads,
under the provisions Of the Acy
of Congress to increase the in
ternal revenue of the United
States.
This means that every shipper
who secures a bill of lading for
goods shipped by rail must at
tach to such bills of lading a one
cent stamp. This applies also to
baggage other than regular bag
gage, and will therefore apply 10
excess baggage, bicycles. tricyc-
les, baby carriages, dogs, milk,
etc.
Realizing that some of the
shippers may fail to provide
themselves with the necessary
stamps. the traffic officials of the
Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis Railway are sending out
instructions to agents over the
system advising them of the
matter and instructing them to
secure a supply of such revenue
stamps for the accommodation of
the shippers. Such stamps are
to be regarded as cash, however,
and the shippers will pay for
same just as though they were
secured from the government
authorities.
