Miss Dale, this is a pleasant surprise.
What brings you back? Looking pros

Yes. thank you, Papa Warner an

roared with delight.
But / guess you're married now
he suggested.
Not yet" said Cynthia.
Really, now? Well, that's a pity.
I'm sorry for someone, Miss Dale"
He beamed and smiled after her,
and she found the welcome of the lit

lowness of European cities If |

Somehow Cy's words had reminded
her OF her earliest sweetheart, Joe
Byrnes. How many times she had
promised TO marry him when they

gasped in amazement Leaning

stylish clothes, was Joe himself,
Their recognition was mutual Joe
lifted his hat. rot with the old awk-
wardness. but with a flourish redolent
OF fashionable society
And Cynthia, shaking hands with
Joe. found herself positively blushing
again. like a schoolgirl.
Ii was odd. too. but after their first
embarrassment wore off. they found
themselves chatting in much the old
style. as they leaned over the gate.
Joe had at last succeeded. He was in
business. according to the impression
he gave Cynthia. and he was in a fair

The Monkey and the Dolphin.

A Sailor bound on a long voyage,
took with him Monkey 10 amuse him
while on shipboard. As he sailed off
the coast of Greece. a violent tenn
pest arose. in which the ship was
wrecked. and he, his Monkey. and all
the crew were obliged 10 swim for
their lives. A Dolphin saw the Mon
key contending with the waves, and
supposing him to be a man whom he
is always said TO befriend), came and
placed himself under him, TO convey
him on his back TO the shore. When
the Dolphin arrived with his burden
in sight of land not far from Athens,
he demanded Of the Monkey If he
were an Athenian, who replied that
he was. and that he was descended
from one of the most noble families
OF that city. He then inquired if he
knew the Piraeus (the' famous har-
Dor OF Athens). The Monkey. suppos-
ing that a man was meant. answered
that he knew him very we'll and that
he was an intimate friend. The Dol
pnin. indignant at these falsehoods,
dipped the Monkey under the water
and drowned him.-From Aesop's Fa.

that I hadn't any talent myself. But
how about you?" he added, looking at
her keenly
And somehow Cynthia blurted out
the truth. Joe took her statements
with surprising caimness. though he
shook hands with her again cordially.
Its shame you should have to
use a professional name, Miss Dale
oh, hang it, Cynthia. May | call you
that as | used to do?" he added, red
dening.
And their talk drifted into still
more intimate things. Somehow the
illusion persisted perfectly. Cynthia
was conscious of being a little girl
again, with her first beau.
Cynthia said Joe, later. do you
know, in spite OF the world, and its
ups and downs, I've always felt that
I'd like TO come back TO the old place
and settle down here again."
so have t. said Cynthia.
''Tll be in position TO do so any
time, as soon as | can get rid of my
obligations" said Joe. Listen, Gym
thia. Suppose / did come back, and
found you here, and-oh, Cynthia,
dear, you know | haven't changed in
all these years.
Cynthia let her hand rest in Joe's.
You're DEAR she said But you're
part of the illusion. I've never cared
60 c,y Y
riously. But, Joe, | don't think
should feel that when I got back to
the big world Joe, dear if were to
meet you then-well, Il don't know.
That's hope enough for me- said
Joe. as he left her at the end of the
village. Somehow Cynthia had felt
that Joe would be out of place at the
hotel
On the morrow she returned to
New York. firmly resolved to break
away from the life she hated, as soon
as the dreaded Muzzini contract
closed. At thirty dreams of happy
life, with husband and children, had
become more real to her than the ap-
plause of the audience and the CLAM
our of the footlights.
But when she was back in her
apartment in the great city the
glamour once more took possession Of
her. She hardly slept that night.
Il don't know she said to herself
the next morning, as she dressed to
go to the interview with Muzzini.
Muzzini's office was crowded. Even
she had to wait, though she was to
have the precedence over the crowd
of nondescripts that haunted the
place. They looked at her with envy.
and once again distaste for this life
came over her She recalled the time
when she, too. had begged for inter
views with impresarios, and she pic
tured Muzzini as just such man as
these--a pompous, underbred Italian.
How she hated her contract,
"Signor Muzzini will see Madam
Alloni,' announced the office boy.
Cynthia followed him into the little
room. She looked into the face Of
Joe
Joe" she gasped, and suddenly
she understood
II am Signor Muzzini,' said Joe
"Ah, Cynthia, if | had known it was
you before yesterday. | heard you
had gone North, and / went after you,
in fear that you were going to break
your contract. Cynthia = Cynthia,
darling, this is going to be your last
contract but one. And the last, the
very last, will be with me. too.'
"The very last" murmured Cynthia,
in his arms.

At RUSSIAN rear
Heavy Forces Under Archduke Joseph
Ferdinand Press Forward
Against Tarnow.

Vienna. Jan. 3o.-An Austrian army.
supported by heavy artillery and COM
manded by Archduke Joseph Ferdinand,
is pressing in the direction of Tarnow
in an effort to get in the rear of the
Russian forces in GaIicia to cut its
communications This information was
contained in the following statement
given out today.
The present phase Of the war in Gal
icia is proceeding favorably for us. The
attepmts Of the Russians TO outflank
the Austrian army near Nowy Sandec
in order to open the way for another
attack against Cracow has led to a
counter offensive by Archduke Joseph
Ferdinand. The army Of Archduke
Joseph Ferdinand supported by heavy
artillery is pressing in the direction of
Tarnow to get in the rear of the Rus
sian army in Galicia to cut its commu-
nications."
Equally ineffective was the Russian
invasion of Hungary and the attempt to
invade Pennsylvania from Bukowina, to
isolate the army of Gen. Fischer, and
isolate our troops in the Carpathians
While in Poland the Germans are push
ing their trenches nearer and nearer to
Warsaw, the Teutonic allies also are
gaining ground in the Carpathians. We
are in possession OF the ground from
Macy Valley to Luwikowna and again
hold Toronya Pass In Bukowina the
enemy has retreated to Kimpolung, fol-
lowing the victory OF Gen. Fischer's army
near Kirli Baba. Great transports Of
Russian prisoners are being conveyed
into Central Austria from the Ruzsgisej
district"

CUT OFF GAS To make
Wife Leave, She SAYS
Mrs. Schellhorn Also Tells of Night
Raid in Which Hubby. 63. and
Companion Fled.

Jersey City, n. J., Jan. 30.-Charging
cruelty, inhuman treatment and improp-
er conduct, Mrs. Sarah G. Schellhorn, OF
Weehawken, today filed a suit for abb
solute divorce against w. Schellhorn, a
wealthy real estate operator, who has
been more or less prominent in Hudson
County politics for a number of years
She is siXty-two years old: he is sixty
three. They have two sons.
In her complaint Mrs. Schellhorn sets
forth a remarkable series of unhappy
domestic Incidents Her alleged persecu-
tions are Climaxed by a night raid made
on a cottage in Allendale one cold night
this month, when her husband and an
other woman made their escape by means
of a back door and a swift automobile.
The couple was married in st. Louis in
1881. They went to Little Rock, where
Schellhorn rose to be one OF the directors
of the Iron Mountain Railroad. They
came East in 1891. In 1900 the complaint
alleges. he began his cruel treatment.
The complaint charges:
Her husband wished her to die SO that
he could marry again.
Determined to shun his wife, he kept
two rooms 10 himself and gave orders
that neither his wife nor sons were to
enter them.
Ordered the water and gas compa nies
to remove the meters of their Weehaw-
ken home, so his wife would suffer. Also
had the steam pipes disconnected.
Two sons and three detectives made the
raid on the Allendale cottage. The father
was found with a woman. They were in
negIgee. They made their escape with
few clothes on.

Epicopalans from throughout the dio-

took on the appearance of a talk
against time.
Senator Smoot was followed by Senator
Sutherland, who in turn gave way TO
Senator Lodge. The Massachusetts Sena-
tor made a brief, but earnest protest,
against the bill, and was succeeded by
Senator William Alden Smith, of Michi-
gan. who was talking when Senator Stone
proposed an executive session at II
o'clock last night, one hour before the
time agreed upon for the recess.
The arrangements for the all-night ses-
sion Friday night, no less than the
appearance Of the Senators early yes
terday morning, were reminiscent of re-
cent refugee stories. While a few
members on both sides dozed in their
chairs, those others who did not evade
the sergeant-at-arms and crawl between
sheets, made the best Of their situation
on couches and other improvised beds in
the cloakrooms and committee rooms.
The cloakrooms resembled domitories.
with staid and portly Senators, fully
dressed, stretched out under white
blankets requisitioned for the night.
Some Took Catnaps.
Some managed to command a more
or less continuous sleep. Others took
catnaps and wandered aimlessly and
the unhappy expression peculiar to
swollen feet and aching joints. The
padded leather cOuches which line the
back wall and sides of the Senate
chamber were occupied throughout the
night by Senators in varying stages OF
consciousness, either sitting propped
up against the back in fitful slumber.
or stretched full-length in temporary
surcease.
In anticipation of a second all-night
session, several of the Senators ar
ranged for more comfortable sleeping
quarters yesterday, planning to inferno
in nearby committee rooms upon cots
procured for the purpose. But even
with these arrangements in prospect.
they do not relish the thought OF a con-
tinuation of the grind this week.
