said, coldly.

Yvonne was piqued, even angry. she
deliberately crossed the room ana
threw herself upon the couch, an act
so childish, so dlsdainful that for a
full minute no one spoke, but stared
at her, each with a different emotion.
Lydia's eyes were flashing. Her lips
parted, but she withheld the angry
words that rose TO them. Brood's ex
preston changed slowly from dull
anger to one Of incredibly, which
swiftly gave way to positive JOY, His
wife was jealous!

softly, his cheek flushing.
She went quickly from the room.
Later he stood in her sweet, dainty
little bedroom and looked about MIN
with a feeling Of mingled W and
wonder. All of her intimate, exquisite
belongings, the sanctiied treasures OF
her most secret domain were about
him. He wandered. He fingered the
articles on her dressing table; smelled
of the perfume bottles and smiled as
he recognized the sweet odors as De

themselves; grinned delightedly at his

The Day Between.

Frederic opened his eyes at the
sound of a gentle, persistent tapping
on the bedroom door. Resting on his
elbow, he looked blankly, wonderingly
about the room Aforementioned. It
was broad daylight. The knocking
continued. He dreamed on, his blink
ing eyes still seeking out the dainty.
Lydiallke treasures in the enchanted
room.
Frederic! Get up! It's nine
O'Clock. Or will you have your break

spoke, assuming a fine Irish brogue In
imitation Of their little maid Of az

He sprang out of bed and bounded
across the room. She passed the gar

door. Ig gz%
He was artistic, temperamental.
Such as he have not the capacity for
haste when there is the slightest op-
~portunity to dream and dawdle. He
was a full quarter of an hour taking
his tub and another was consumed in
getting into his clothes. He sailed
forth in great haste at nine-thirty-fve
and was extremely proud Of himself,
although unshaved.
His first act, after warmly greeting
Mrs. Desmond, was to sit down at the
piano. Hurriedly he played a few

Costs 70 Gents to Be an
American in Mexican Town

It costs 20 cents, gold. to be an
American automobile owner in JuareZ
For the past week the Juarez officials
have been collecting 20 cents from the
driver Of each American auto which
crossed the information bridge.
This charge is not the usual bridge
toll charge as il is collected in addi-
ton to the assessment of 90 cents
levied by the officials on the Mexican
side The excuse given for this as
sessment is that il is used for keeping
up the roads in the Mexican town The
little round ticket, which resembles
the stopper Of a milk bottle. reads:
"POr Piso 20 cents-AmericanOs" The
back side announces that it is good
for "one American" One American
who crossed the bridge with his car
recently was forced to pay the head
tax twice.
The Electric Railway company IS
now collecting street car fares from
Juarez i'm Mexican silver or American
gold at the rate OF 10 cents Mexican
silver or cents, American money for

This started Monday and no more Villa

The Unity of Life.

There is nothing, l think. that
brings home to one more conclusively
the unity of life, and therefore the
unity of knowledge of that life, than
the attempt to study any particular
subject by itself and confne yourself
to it alone You find very soon that
you cannot do so. No aspect of life
can be separated from the rest and
understood even in any small degree
without some knowledge of the rest
of life. No part Of life stands alone.
Every phenomenon Of life is the re-
suit, not of one or two causes alone,
but of the interaction Of innumerable
causes. To get near the understand
ing of only one item you must be able
to estimate more or less truly all the
forces that make life, and the objec-
tive of life AS with the eddy of a
river, to estimate it you must know
not merely the eddy, but much also
of the river its volume and its speed.
the density of its waters, the configu-
ration of it's banks and its general
direction The observation of the
eddy only would lead you into the
widest fallacies.-The' Atlantic.

What War Babies Mean.

War Babies" says the New Repub-
lie, should be legitimized, but for the
babies sake, not because they fill the
gaps made by war. "a race cannot
be strengthened by mere multiplied
ton. Only the wholesale barbarism
of war and capitalism and imperialist
expansion would ever have made mere
quantity a standard of morals. That
is why the sentimental appreciation
of war babies is so disheartening. 1t
is not a fiare-up of liberalism, not
new sense of the sanctity or life, but
worried and careless attempt to re-
coup the losses of war.
Against the proposal to drop the
savage punishment of the illegitimate
no humane person will say a word.
But against the idealization of hap
hazard, unwanted and promiscuous
childbirth all decency rebels. 1t as
serts that the way to replenish the
race is not to stampede women into
collaborating, but to acquire a fresh
sense of the terrible wastage of life
in the normal pursuits of peace.
England or France can make up
the losses of this war by dealing with
their slums and their factories, their
poverty and their disease. They can
make permanent additions to their ra-
cial strength by a regard for the quail
ity of births and the opportunities of
children. But they are baling out the
ocean with a sieve if they try merely
to make up for wholesale destruction
by indiscriminate propagation"
