clothed the question with contempt,
but she instantly forced a smile to
neutralize the effect. Concerned with
her own defined conclusions, she lost
the fine ironic bitterness that was in
the mans voice.

questions. If she has sent you after

She did not answer at once. Pres

held out her hand for the banknote

gave her. She folded the note and
slowed 1t away with the pencil.

"Ah. l understand. You copy music"

This time the nervous flicker of her

please? Your messenger gave me

III" There was no impeaching her
astonishment.
"Yes, madame"

the last man in all the wide world

Time to Chanae.

Charlie had been born in the city
and in all Of his four years had never
worn overalls until they went to
country place for the summer. AS he
came out of the house wearing them
for the first time and gazed down at
them obviously a horse in a nearby
field lifted his head and neighed Back
to his mother he rushed, exclaiming:
Take 'em off, take 'em off They

was going deeper than she cared to
go. She gave the address and added:
Tonight she sings at the Austrian am
bassadors. give you this information
gladly because / know that 1t will be
of no use to you"
Then l shall dispense with the for
mality of thanking you. / add that l
wish you two-fold the misery you have
carelessly and gratuitously cost me.
Good night" Click! went the little
covering of the tube.
With the same inward bitterness
that attends the mental processes of a
performing tiger on being sent back to
its cage, Courtlandt returned to his
taxicab. He wanted to roar and lash
and devour something. Instead, he
could only twist the ends of his mus
tache savagely. 1t did not seem pos
sible that any woman could be so full
of malice. He simply could not under
stand. 1t was essentially the Italian
spirit; doubtless, till she heard his
voice, she had forgotten all about the
episode that had foundered his ship
of happiness.
Her statement as to the primal cause
was purely inventive There was not
a grain of truth in 1t. He could not
possibly have been so rude. He had
been too Indifferent Too Indifferent
The repetition of the phrase made him
sit straighter. Pshaw! 1t could not
be that. He possessed little vanity;
If he had not, his history would not
have been worth scrawl. But he de-
MED the possession vehemently. as
men are wont to do.
Too In lfferent Was it possible
that he had reused her enmity simply
because he had made 1t evident that
her charms did not interest him? Be
yond lifting his hat to her, perhaps ex-
changing a comment on the weather,
his courtesies had not been extended.
Courtlandt was peculiar in some re-
spects. A woman attracted him, or
she did not In the one case he was
affable, winning, pleasant, full of those
agreeable little surprises that in turn
attract a woman. In the other case,
he passed on. for his impressions were
instant and did not require the usual
diminishing

Not Quite lnsoIvent.

Abraham Lincoln Carter appeared
before the bar Of justice in Staunton,
Va, charged with stealing $3.50. Evil
dence was strong against him, but the
young lawyer appointed by the judge
to defend the prisoner put up strong
plea and Abraham was acquitted.
A little later counsel and client met
outside the court house. 81 worked
hard for you this morning, Abraham"
said the lawyer, "and the court pays
me very little. There is a big wood
pile out behind my house and you had
better work on 1t two or three days
and pay your part"
Eyes, suh," replied Abraham, "but
couldn't pay you in money stead of
work."
Money? Where will you get any
money, you rascal?
well, boss. reckon I still got dat
$780,"

passed on into the coy dining room.
The maid had arranged some sand
wiches and bottle Of light wine. She
ate and drank. while intermittent
smiles played across her merry face.
Having satisfied her hunger, she
opened her purse and extracted the
banknote. She smoothed 1t out and
laughed aloud.
ooh, II only he had taken me for
ride in the taxicabI" She dubbed
again with merriment
Suddenly she sprang up, as II in
spired, and dashed into another room,
study. She came back with pen and
ink, and with a celebrity that came Of
long practice, drew FIVE straight lines
across the faint violet face of the bank
note. Within these lines she made lit
tie dots at the top and bottom of
stubby perpendicular strokes, and
strange interlineal hieroglyphics, and
sweeping curves, all Of which would
have puzzled an Psychologist If he
were unused to the ways of musicians
Carefully she dried the composition,
and then put the note away. Some
day she would confound him by re-
turning it.
A little later her fingers were NOV
ing softly over the piano keys; melo-
dies in minor. sad and haunting and
elusive, melodies that had never been
put on paper and would always be her
own; in them she might leap from
comedy to tragedy, from laughter to
tears, and only she would know. The
midnight adventure was forgotten, and
the hero of 1t, too. With her eyes
closed and her 1.-the body swaying
gently, she let the old weary pain in
her heart take hold again.

about all she cared for was coffee and

might live for a short time in that

Avoiding War
From the New York Evening Post.

There is no use i'll trying to escape
the hard facts, or in seeking to sprinkle
rosewater over human shambles. Gen.
eral Sherman's definition cannot be
amended so as to read that war is-a
place we do not like to mention. Aud
ii the nature of var is what we know
it., acts of wal ale acts of war. no
matter what We fastidiou sly call them.
1t is in this form, unpleasant but un-
escapable, that the problem forces itself
upon President Wilson. Others may
Stalk loosely; he cannot. Impulsive gen.
tlemen III Congress OIL out of it may
propose fantastic schemes to settle Mex
ico's hash, all OF them implying armed
correction, though all Of Them are de-
scribed as not at all tantamount TO war,
but the President has TO look at things
as they are
In this attitude President Wilson Is
clearly right. His Mexican policy, asa
whole and up to the presen'. cannot be
called a success in the sense that 1t has
achieved the result desired. That any
other peaceful policy than the one he
has pursued, however, would have
worked any better, it would be imposs-
ible to prove. But MI Wilson's course
with Mexico has at least been highly
successful thus lar in IN important re-
spect. 1t has avoided wal. 1t has
tended to calm and not mfuriate the
American people. 1t has brought the
country into close and good relations
with European powers, and paved tie
way for a perfect understanding as to
the intimate steps TO be taken, when
the time comes to take them. And ac-
cordingly the President is wholly correct
in refusing to c~ountenance proposals
which blunder into wal. If War must
come, as a last dread resort, it is for our
Government to face it with open eyes.
