We are not sure of sorrow
And joy was never sure;
Today will die tomorrow;
Time stoops to no mans lure;
And love, grown faint and fretful,
With lips but half regretful
Signs, and, with eyes forgetful
Weeps that no love endures.

her steamer rug; listening to the thready,
music-box strains in the chilly social
parlor'; watching boys running, babies
stumbling; specializing about conva-
lescent who lay shawl-wrapped in the sun.
1t was JOY to read, to watch the sea, to
hear the silvery bells give the hour. There
was romance merely in sitting at the table
with lot Of strangers.
WHILE she was part of the scene she
was yet utterly separated from it. A
big, kindly pity for the human vanity that
makes the nothing of Importance pervaded
her. Conventions that were stone walls
to these others were as paper to her. The
shutters that each put up before his soul
she viewed as puny, ignoble, and she de-
family peeped through them. She opened
conversation with the convalescent, she
played with the children, and when
she saw tears in the stewardess's eyes, she
made her sit down and confide her sorrow.
She understood well the reason for this
larger vision, this comprehending but de-
tached attention. She was different from
the people about her. The desire to live
was their most passionate instinct She
had let 60 of life, had waved it farewell,
was pledged to death.
1t was this difference that made
her do an astounding thing when she
turned from her reverie above the waters
bewildering color. A man had drifted
near her. He too was dreaming, but with
the look of one whose mind was plunging
like boat without ballast from one point
to another in effort to elude an enemy.
Dora had noticed him as she came aboard.
He was possibly thirty-fve; but stress
and bitterness had ravaged his face As
she turned from the sea she saw his
shielded eyes,-contemptuous, desperate.
Under the peak Of his steamer cap they
flared lonesomely. She leaned on her
elbow and studied him in the supreme,
leisurely way of one privileged. She heard
him mutter something.
"Did you speak to me?" she asked.
That she should address him evidently

ened with yearning to see. She would 90
from the bitter cold, the roaring, cutting
winds, to the wonder and the glory of
some island sparkling in turquoise seas.
She would die there, without expense, a
stranger, and the shade of palm would
cover her. But first, for little while, she
would really live,-be idle, warm, peaceful,
and fill her thirsting senses with the beauty
of the world.
When she left her clearinghouse few
days later, taking only small trunk, the
old Scotswoman with whom she had lived
for years held her hand kindly.
"I'm glad you were able to save enough
out of the sale to take this holiday, Miss
Cothren. You need it. You'll come back
from Bermuda with rosy cheeks"
Miss Cothren fondled the veined, harsh
hand, her eyes drenched with farewell.
Il wish every one were as kind as you,
Mrs Murdoch! Good-by! f-and things
wiH happen, you know!-anything goes
wrong with me, want you to keep what
I've left for yourself my books, even my
mothers portrait"
Don't say such things, Miss Cothren,'
the old woman chided, and patted her
shoulder. "Never fear; you'll come back"
"Good-by," said Miss Cothren.
so there was water so blue? No, not
- blue: bright translucent purple? The
stories of its color had not been fiction!
Miss Cothren was standing in the bow of
the boat, her arms crossed on the rail, her
drowsy, intoxicated eyes fastened on the
crystalline sea, while the ship danced on.
1t was the morning of the second day
out. The ship was full. The passengers
were perhaps a little less interesting than
a collection of people coming together by
chance from various environments usually
are. The life of the ship was not marked
by anything distinctive. But to Dora
Cothren this first happiness after long
meagerness had made an electric change in
her. Everything interested her. There
was pleasure in merely watching sailor
coiling a rope in helping the steward find

looked, and found it kind. A feeling of
peace came over her. She dropped in
the twilight, questioning, weighing. To
cease to be? To anticipate by fraction
of time the destination that all were
travelling toward? A morbidly sweet
thought! She tasted it, tested it, drew it
into her heart, while she searched at the
same time for the faintest shrinking
When, instead, she felt excitement, buoy
ancy, she drank more deeply of the dark
intoxication. Peace at the thought of
death changed to longing for it. She had
been religiously trained to view self
murder as sin, as cowardly. Somehow
these commands had lost their force. She
felt quiet, unreckoning decision to rely
upon the Understanding that has pity and
mercy as it's greatest attributes. No need
to think of other battling years, like so
many gone. They were not to be! She
was to die!
THE small Canadian city was in the
grip of zero frost. AS she went home,
her empty hands, within her old squirrel
muff, were clutched as if she held gift
She did not look to right or left. The
streets, ravished by icy gales, were as
lonely as a prairie. There was nothing to
see. No one was thinking of her. No one
was waiting for her. No one would miss
her.
These facts did not hang upon her to-
night with their accustomed weight. A
resolve that had followed her decision to
die was warming her. On this last mile
of life she would satisfy an old, heretofore
hopeless hunger. She would take a holi-
day. Although to pay her debts she had
sold out her school furnishings, she still
owned one hundred dollars. 1t had been
nonresident for ordinary use, while she
struggled to live; for it was held by
beneficent society as guard against ill
ness, or as a life insurance policy. She
would draw it out.
The thought ran through herewith this
sum in her hand she would go away to one
of the summer spots she had so often sick

CORNERS were SOllu Dlack; the silence
had become assubstance. Arealintruder-
a gray passer-by from the gray streets
seemed to have come in to sorrow with her.
She had put on her outdoor things
The framed portrait of her mother-the
one thing that would not 20 into the sale
of the furnishings for the rent-lay upon
her knees. She had been ready to go for
an hour, and it was time to go. The
Janltress, waiting to take possession of the
key, must have become impatient; for she

cook. Yet the teacher stayed on, her
dull gaze travelling from one to another of

accustomed circle.
and future. 1t was stock-taking of
brain and body assets for the fight to live
which must be begun all over again.
She discovered that she was not suffer-
ing as she had expected; that, indeed, she
was not suffering at all. A few years be-
fore, in such dire moment, she would
have been as full of panic as a distraught
animal flying before its butchers. Now,
when she was just so much older, more
lacking in friends, the binding headaches
that had tortured her from childhood
coming more frequently when there
was more exacting demand every day
for specialized labor, she could sit, at
twenty-six, bankrupt in her collapsed
school, Indifferent to what other calam-
tiles might be waiting for her.
She wondered family what was the rea-
son. Her aching muscles, her empty eyes,
seen like ghosts in the mirror, gave her
the reply. She was tired to the uttermost
limit of fatigue. She had suffered until
she was beyond further suffering. She had
ceased to care what might happen to her.
And behold-she had ceased to be afraid!
This indifference to life became a mag
netic hand that led her in friendly way
to look into Deaths face. She looked and

No obligation held to exist TO pre-

wholly on belligerent. To prevent
such shipments. on the contrary It Is
held would be an unneutral act.
Free use OF cables permitted while
wireless is censored because belllger-

wireless, on neutral coast to commu

makes neutral territory base OF belli-
gerent operations.
Both sides have censored private
letters, and in so doing acted within
rights under international law.
Allies did not exceed rights in
searching American vessels In bellig-

two cases OF search on high seas have
been protested vigorously. Impress
ment OF seamen by another nation In

No general agreement exists as to
what constitutes contraband and no
