dienation meeting was held here last
night by travelling men when the Is

Inc united States will not be drained

There is extreme reticence in all
quarters when the subject of NUM-

to be a general disposition to leave
thar business to separate arrange
ment between the countries at war
and the American manufacturers.
Many are In favor Of having the pres
ent method of paying in gold contin-
ued. put there are surmises that per-
maps an arrangement may be made

readily negotiable. In any event once

all, recklessly, joyfully, she went to live
in the tiny apartment he called their
home
Waiting. Waiting
That's what the life of Mrs. Ida Sniff
fen Walters, who now added Rogers to
her name, became in the tiny apartment
Rogers called their home. After her di-
vorce, when she lived only for love, she
was happy. But with what should have
been the deepest of all happiness-that
of holding in her arms her first born
came doubt.
Because she was a woman giving, she
had given all, recklessly, joyfully. Old
friends and relatives she could see no
more; they wouldn't understand. New
friends there couldn't be, for they might
discover, and not understand. So she
stood alone, in vast, awful solitude, ex-
cepting for the one all-sufficing being.
But the baby; the tiny, helpless, sep
arate entity to whose life she bore a,
responsibility that no passionately de-
Tended law unto herself could deny;
was the baby to live in its mothers
wastes, nameless?
'I have the right" she whispered,
terror-stricken. But when the baby's
father came she told him the doubt.
Then for the first time he spoke of
an agreement he had made with his
wife before their marriage; that should
either wish to be free a divorce was
allowed without contest. He had asked
his freedom, he said, and It was to be
given him in a year, though she wished
him to live in her home meanwhile.
They would marry then, he promised,
and together they marked of the day
on the calendar when the year would
end.
Little John was born in August, 1912,
at Tarrytown Hospital. The strange lit
tie household afterward moved out to a
cottage in the Bronx
The neighborhood looked with inter-
est on the beautiful young mother and

the handsome young father who came
only every two or three days.
I'VE all knew her but she seemed
never to know u.s." one of them COM
planned. "She was always ready to
smile, but never talked. She adored the
little boy"
And for the little boy and the hand
some young father who came only oc-
casionally, the beautiful young mother
lived, waiting, waiting. For at the end
of the year Rogers wife refused to re-
member her agreement, though she knew
of the cottage in the Bronx.
All of her courage, all the faith in
the law she had set up for herself, all
the love that her life was built upon
she needed now. Hers was the right,
she told herself, over and over. Yet
why had this other woman, though priv
ileged to condemn the principle of the
right, refused to recognize it? Why?
After baby Lorida was born eight
months ago, the fear-gripped little
mother went to the wife, to make her
appeal. The wife heard the story of
love and renunciation and hope and fear
and sacrifice; heard and smiled, the gen.
tie, helpless, meaningful smile that Satan
sends out of hell to the lips of women
for other women who have broken the
seventh commandment.
He is mine," the wife answered sim
ply.
But mine is the right-mine!" the
mother sobbed.
who will recognize it?" quoth the
wife. Your finger bears no wedding
ring!"
"But our two babies; the years
have lived for him; the love that is
between US mean more than the ring!''
"The law gave him to me-" the wife
replied And the mother went away.
After that Rogers moved to the little
cottage in the Bronx; he visited the pala-
tial establishment on Riverside drive
only occasionally. From one OF the oc-
casional visits he returned to say that

um, ploBed along the scalp. He died
nine days later, much to the surprise
Of the surgeons, who thought he ought
to have lived. A post-mortem was held
which showed that whilst the outside OF
the skull had resisted the shock, the
Tower table, as anatomists call 1t, had
been fractured. and it had injured the
brain.
But such great strides have been
made in surgery and such a high pitch Of
safety reached, that II soldiers can only
get inside a hospital they have fifty
chances to one Of coming out more or
less whole The recent triumphs Of
surgery border on the miraculous.

ing smile and turned away; while they
waited together in the twilight he turned
away. She saw the vision of the world,
a vast, dreary waste. where she was to
walk with bitter memories and desola-
ton. And with white lips she begged
him to stay.
Love grew suddenly wan, as though
weary and i'll with age. Take care lest
am slain," he warned, "by daggers of
exaction, demand, duty. For my soul
is the freedom of all the ages of all
the worlds, and - though this be the
tragedy of Nature-bound by even SO
small bond as thin gold ring, die!
For under the rolling skies only one is
greater than DEATH"
So with shining eyes the woman
watched him go. But though her heart
was a dumb thing, her lips smiled, for
had he not said?-there was one greater
than he.
To the One who was greater than
Love the woman turned And Death
laid cool hand over her eyes.
Mrs. Caroline Giddings Rogers was
to visit the millionaire uncle in Chi
cago; she had wished her husband to
accompany her; it was unlikely that he
would remain away long.
The gray cloud that for weeks had
hung on the little mothers sky dropped
round and closed her in. He was go

stood out In the fog of her awful be-
wilderment. She was indeed alone! She

tie third child that was to come.
Would he return? When? Now after
he had left the other home, would it be

what she had believed him in her blind

The scorpion-leashed whip Of the
Fury, Despair, cut her bare heart with
every thought.
