Reasons for Its Opposition to

/. Because pockets are not natural

2. Because the great majority Of
women do not want pockets. II they
did. they would have them.
3. Because whenever women have
had pockets they have not used them.
4. Because women are expected to
carry enough things az 1t is without
the additional burden Of pockets.
8. Because 1t would make dissension
between husband and wife as to whose
pockets were to be filed.
6. Because It would destroy mans
chivalry toward woman II he did not
have to carry all her things in his
pockets.
Z. Because men are men and women

face Of nature.
8. Because pockets have been used
by men to carry tobacco, pipes, whisky

ing letters. We see no reason to sup
pose that women would use them
more wisely.-New York Tribune.

She started suddenly, then for o

Tenth street slouched q tall, STOPPING
figure. The man wore a shabby over
coat which covered his body almost
70 the feet; Its collar was turned high
about BIS neck and an old SLOUGH hat
shadowed his face. Dorcas could see
little between but o bristling beard.
The keenest detective searching for
Andrew Merry would not have glanced
twice at the figure; Dorcas' eyes fol-
lowed It with grave perplexity. She
had been startled into recognition the

shabby hat down over his face. She
caught a glimpse Of Merry's long,
white, slender fingers and noted an
impatient, peculiarly graceful gesture
which was characteristic Of him. Dor

when he was on the stage. sometimes
while he had talked with her.
He paused before facing the glare
OF Broadway and pulled the hat brim
carefully about his face; It might have
been for shelter from the singing
blasts Of sleet or for better conceal
ment. Then he seemed to gather him

had been lowering for hours. and just
before midnight the first storm OF the
winter came down. 1t began with keen,
tiny needles Of ice, but they stung and
froze, for the wind drove them in
merciless, piercing flurries. The loi-
tering men crowded together and
turned their faces sullenly from each
furious cloud Of sleet. Hunger was
bitter enough without the storm.
Dorcas watched through misty eyes.
She wondered at the still patience Of
the throng. Below her in a basement
a warm red light burned. and through
an open door the wind blew the fra

The girl paused for minute before
she answered. II thought you were

Weak" The man repeated the
word as II trying to comprehend its
meaning.
You should not have allowed
Enoch to stand as the author OF your
play, no matter what the circum'
stances we're. He is not happy over 1t
today. His nature seems to have
changed. He is not easy to live with
even. oh, wish 1t had never hap

Merry waited in silence.
Things must come right, even If
this lie has been told" She pointed at
the paper which lay at her feet.
There is one, way. You can play the
convict so wonderfully that people
must realize that you yourself created
the part"
Il shall never play, the convict"
Merry's voice was slow and resolute.

Again there was silence. Dorcas
was trying to understand. trying to be

heart, aching with unspoken sympathy,
turned to Merry.

"Oh!" cried the girl aghast. How

II have" Merry spoke IN a hoarse
whisper. He returned to his chair by
the fire and bent to warm his fingers
by the blaze. There was another long
silence. Dorcas was the first to break
II.
Even If It we're against your inch-
nations, would you do something to
make some one very happy, some one
who believes in you-who cares
great deal for you and about your fu-
ture?"
Merry spoke gently. Miss Dorcas,

She rose to her feet and, leaning on

He read on down through the col.
umn. Fellow journalists had banded
together to give Enoch a royal intro
duction. Merry's name was not men,
toned, though there was frequent ref
erence to q famous star, who had the
leading part in consideration. Oswald
was referred to as a newcomer in the
ranks Of New York managers. His
lavish production Of Wentworth's
drama was described in figures ap-
preaching prodigality. Merry read 1t
through to the last sentence, then the
paper fell to the floor and he buried
his face in his hands.
While Dorcas watched, her heart
ached for him. II was hard to hold in
check the soothing touch she would
have given to a woman or to q child.
"Oh!" she said in n piteous whisper.
