\N/ ing home Unexpectedly to
w his bachelor apartment
after a long absence, met
a girl coming out Of the front door
OF the building he was somewhat
surprised. He was more surprised
when he saw the impression of q
woman's iand in the dust of his
library table. To preserve the print
for future reference, he inverted
brass bowl upon 1t. and gave strict
instructions to his valet that the
bowl should not be touched on any
consideration. That evening Matt
land dined at his club with his at
torney. During their discussion Of
Maitland's suit against man
named Graeme. the attorney strongly
advised the young man to bring his
jewels from his country house into
the city. The impulsive Maitland de-
cided to bring them in that very
evening.
On his way to his country place
Maitland came upon stalled auto
mobile containing the girl he had
seen on his apartment house steps.
He helped her start the machine.
and discovered that she thought he
was Handsome Dan Anisty, no.
torious cracksman. When he arrived
at his house, he found the girl en-
gagged in opening his safe. Acting
in the assumed role Of Anisty. ne
offered to go halves with the girl.
While they were talking. the real
Anisty arrived. From this point ON

merous adventures due to his re-
semblance to the master crook. the
result of which leaves the audience
IN doubt until the end of the play.

with character. 1t INDUCES In droii-

full thoughts.
"Great wits are sure to madness near
allied,
And thin partitions do their bounds
divide"
Ye, a man who is out Of his wits
is unbalanced. Men must often de-
pend upon their wits. when their
strength fails. When you come TO
your wits end you are. forsooth. In
a bad way.
Serious wit is after all only alert
wisdom. The mental efficiency Of a
man Is increased by winding up the
watch of his wit. Wit Is that pre-
cious vehicle OF sense which is the
antidote and preventive of dire dis
ease. False wit abounds when sep
arated from wisdom: true wit Is
eternally linked with 1t.
The pseudo wit OF the wine cup,
of madness, of passion Is not like the

Wit is Usually suggestive of deli

effervescence of the stiff and rigid

Prof Sigrnund Freud explains Wit
as the unlooked-for appearance in

LONDON. Nov. 2S.-(5:05 p. M
Since the United States indicated 1t
vas willing that England should deal
direct with Colombia and Ecuador
concerning alleged violations of neu-
trality the British foreign office has
taken no further action Neverthe-
less denials that a German wireless
station is being operated in Colombia
and that islands belonging TO Ecuador
are being used by the Germans for
naval operations are not accepted as
finally disposing Of the case.
The suggestion Of South American
governments that the belligerents
withdraw their warships from South
American waters is declared by Eng
lish officials to be impracticable. The
same view Is entertained concerning
the plan for the creation Of a neutral
zone off the coast of South America.
This, it is contcnded. would afford an
even better chance to warships to lie
In wait for steamers engaged in the
overseas trade.
The foreign office is eager to take
action which would relieve South
