CHAPTER ".
Two DAYS of Paradise.

At first Elsa did not know whether
she was annoyed or amused. The
mans action was absurd, or would
have been In any other man. His ad.
vice to her to go home was downright
impudence: and yet the sight Of the
parrot cage dangling at his side niaaa
It impossible for. her to take lasting
offense. Once upon q time there had
been q little boy who played In her
garden. When he was cross he would
take his playthings and go home. The
boy might easily have been this man
Warrington, grown up.
OF course he would come and apollo
gize to her for his rudeness. Perhaps
he had resented her curiosity; perhaps
her questions had been pressed too
hard; and perhaps he had suddenly
doubted her genuine interest. At any
rate it was novel experience. And
that bewildering likeness!
She returned to her chair and opened
the book again. And as she read her
wonder grew. The diction was ex.
quisite; there was style; but now as
she read there was lacking the one
thing that stood for life-blood. II did
not pulsate In the veins of these
people. Until now she had not recog.
nized this fact, and she was halfway
through the book. What had happened
to her since yesterday? To what cause
might be assigned this opposite angle
Of vision, SO clearly defined?
The book fell upon her knees and
dreamily she watched the perspective
open and divaricate. The low banks
with their golden haze of dust, the
cloudless sky, the sad and lonely white
pagodas, charmed her; and the Ian
guor Of the East crept stealthily into
her northern blood. She was not con
scious of the subtle change; she only
knew that the world of yesterday was
unlike that Of today.
Warrington, after depositing Rajah
in the stateroom, sought the bench on
the stern deck. He filed his Guilty
with purser-loaned tobacco and roundly
damned himself as blockhead He
had forgotten all the niceties Of civil
lization; he no longer knew how to be-
have. The first young woman in all
these years who had treated him as an
equal, and he had straightway proceed
ed to lecture her upon the evils Of
travelling alone in the Orient!
And yet he had told her the truth.
It was not right that young and at
tractive woman should wander about
in the East, unattended save by a
middle-aged companion. It would pro-
woke the devil in men who were not
wholly bad. Women had the fallible
idea that they could read human ma
ture. and never found out their mis-
take until after they were married.
He knew her kind. IL she wanted to
walk through the bazaars in the. eve
ming she would do SO. II 3 man fol
lowed her she would ignore the fact.
II he caught up with her and spoke she
would continue on as il she had not
heard. If q man touched her she would
rely upon the fire OF her eyes. She
would never call ont for help. Some
women were just that silly.

stories like that, but I'd rather hear
them told firsthand."
Elsa was not romantic in the sense
that she saw heroes where there were
only ordinary men; it was the OBJ
scure and unknown hero who appealed
to her: such a one as this man might
be.
"Oh, there was nothing splendid
about the thing. I simply hung on

"It isn't a question of bravery" he
explained, bit of color charging un-
der his skin. This world is not like

Oh, I've lost the art of saying things

barrassedly.

"But you are not"
He recognized that 1t was not a
query; and a pleasurable thrill ran
over him. Had there been the least
touch Of condescension in her manner
he would have gone deep into his

tent. But everywhere, on boats. in
the hotels, on the streets, are men
who have discarded all the laws of
convention, of the social contract. And
they have the keen eye of the kite and
the vulture."
To Elsa this interest in her welfare
was very diverting In other words,
they can quickly discover the young
woman who goes about unprotected?
Don't you think that the trend Of the
conversation has taken rather re-
markable turn, not as impersonal as 1t
should be?'
II beg your pardon! Shall I go?"

He inclined against the rail and
stared down at the muddy water. "Ad-

lures. There's no glory in being a

Work and Study United.

CAMBRIDGE, Jan. IA new sys'
TEN of prevocational work, along lines
which have been successful in Cleve-
land, has been inaugurated by Prin-
cipal John w. Wood, Jr., Of the Ridge
Technical school.
Boys are given an opportunity TO
attend the regular courses of the
school. and at the same time work
during certain hours OF the day in
Cambridge stores, factories and in
dustrial centers.
II is argued in favor Of this plan
that the boys not only receives money
for the work which he performs out
side the schoolroom, but at the same
time secures practical experience in
the regular workshop. In the line
which he is studying in the school.
A system something along these
lines is already in use in the Latin and
English high schools and the Girls
trade school,
In the former the head master
maintains a sort of employment bu-
reau. Through this medium one may
employ high school girls. Miss Maude
A, Reehan, principal, has her girls
trade school course so arranged that
the girls may secure work.

% Yenrs spent In Prison.

HARTFORD. Conn. Jan AIRS.
Kate Cobb. OF Norwich. who has been
confined in the state prison al Weth-
ersfield for nearly SO years for the
murder Of her husband. was granted
pardon recently by the state board
Of pardons She was sentenced TO life
Imprisonment in 1879.
The pardoning Of Mrs. Cobb. who Is
sc years old. recalls one Of the most
noted crimes in the annals OF Con-
necticut courts. Her husband, Charles
Cobb, was city tax collector OF Nor
wich. He was found dead in January.
1879 Soon afterward Mrs. Wesley
Bishop. a member OF another promi-
nent Norwich famidly. also died sud-
denly The families were intimate.
The coroner's inquest showed that
both Cobb and Mrs. Bishop had died
of poisoning under suspicious circum-
stances. Mrs. Cobb and Bishop were
arrested and II developed in the evi-
dence. after a remarkable trial, that
the two had planned separate muir
ders. that they might be free to marry
The evidence. however. was circum-
stantial mostly and it was not unit!
Bishop had turned states evidence
that the motive and details were
brought out. Both were sentenced to
life Imprisonment. Bishop died in
prison two years ago.
Although they were confined in cells
not many hundred feet apart, the two
never saw each other from the day
they we're sentenced. II is said Bishop
had requested that he might see Mrs
Cobb before he died, but she declined
TO see him.
Mrs Cobb. although in prison more
than half her life retains traces Of
the beauty for which she was noted
in Norwich. she has two children
living.

mules are Joining the armies Of Great
Britain weekly. according to stock
yards experts today. Already for to-
tai "enlistments" OF mules in this
country exceed 1000, and there Is a
probability that the record exports OF
more than 10000 of these animals
during the Boer war will be broken
II the European war is prolonged.
Inspections Of mules are being held
by British government nearly $780,
600 weekly. Her purchases to date
represent an expenditure of more
than $1,250.O Great Britain has
been able to raise billions Of dollars
in special war loans. but dealers in
mules declare that her enormous ex-
penditures for their animals prove
that she considers them Indispensable
in war.
While Great Britain is the only En-
ropean belligerent now buying mules
for her armies, negotiations are be-
ing carried on with agents Of the
French and italian governments by
missouri mule dealers. and IL is prob
able that these countries will place
contracts for mules in the near fu-
ture. A lack Of appreciation of the
great value of mules for war pur-
poses, dealers Of Missouri say. is the
reason for the failure Of the French
government, which is buying thou
sands of cavalry and artillery horses
weekly in the United States to take
mules.
Many mules which earned retire
ment on pastures long ago are being
enlisted by the British army buy
ers. This is due to the fact that the
British contracts call for mules be-
tween six and ten years old. As
many mules II to 20 years old have
teeth as good as those of their 10
year old brothers not a few of
the animals accepted on the army
contracts have already served on
farms more than a decade. The ola
mules bring the same prices as the
young animals, and as the latter are
