THE MAN WHO DARED

ing when ] came home from work
to the simple meals of her un-
skilled cooking did she don the
dainty finery which she loved like
all normal women, and which SO
became her.
Despite these yearning appeals
to my manhood, to my love and
pity, the twin monsters continued
to writhe within me. A few weeks
later | found myself again wan
dering along Pacific ST., suffering
torment like that of a man who
annoys an aching tooth.
Into one dive and dance hall
after another l drifted. And Bar
leycorn had me familiarly by the
arm.
My head was swimming
when a bedizened woman
sided up to the table where 1
sat and placed her arm famil-
iarly about my shoulders. In
my stupor l didn't resent the
approach. Several minutes
later my mind cleared again
and knew that had danced
with her. 1 rose to take an
other turn when a looming
figure lunged against me.
Before stupor finally set
tied down i'm a cloud i recog-
nized Big Martin. He brushed
my painted companion aside
and had me by the arm with
a painful grip. Cursing i'm
my ear, he hurried me to the
street.

lily. We were in darkened
street. Martin was bending over
me with look of flaming fury;
then blackness.

lazy interest a warmed-over yarn
about the clever gentleman-thief who
had bafTled the metropolitan police for
nearly a year. A well-known amateur
detective was giving the reporter an
exposition OF his views. Here was an
artist. Forbes cracked the news

circles 1.-TWO more words Forbes
hated) from which the jewels had been
purloined. Even the police admitted
that he possessed an intimate and ac-
curate knowledge of the habits of his
victims. But the genius of the man
was made manifest in his ability to
wait. Was there n woman? Was there
unlucky speculation? Horses and
cards? Or was 1t what he (Mr. ANA

simply a brilliant hoax. practical

At the exact moment when J. Nor
timer Forbes was being apprised of
the fact that this was an amazing
world and that previously he had been
meandering only among the foot-notes
of the Great Story, an elderly gentle
man and very handsome young wom-
an sat in a subway train which roared
emptily on its way downtown. The
elderly man was gray haired and he
wore closely cropped gray mustache,
style much affected by Americans
living in New York. He possessed all
the hall marks of a prosperous club
man. The spats spoke eloquenrly of
the reading room and of moderately
heated political arguments. Attached
to his eyeglasses was a heavy cord
up and down which he continually ran
his fingers; to those who knew him.

1t very often happens that the auto
mobile owner is responsible for freez-

get cold enough tonight" and keeps
it up night after night until finally
a night comes when it does get cold
enough, and the result is his cylinders
are bursted. Freezing water is NJ.

The beautiful young lady shrugged.
She had gone over the ground so often
that the subject wearied her. She
loved her father. but she could not
understand his utter lack of apprecia-
ton for the wonderful curios her un-
Gle had bequeathed her. with the sim
gle stipulation that she should use
them.
That the girl in the sables was un-
happy was quite apparent. 1t was not
a petulant sadness, as in having had
her will crossed, as in having STUN
bled over some temporary disappoint-
ment. Her face reflected deep sor-
row from within; of kind for which
money at her age is no balm. Great
peace and great sorrow have the same
brushes in limning in n face; the re-
suit is generally beatific placidity.
II you looked at the girls eyes they

and yet the ensemble produced a

Sacramento, Cal. May III have just received your telegram asking a brief despatch from, me giving the sentiment of the people of the State of California regarding the sinking of the Lusitania. I feel the situation presents such grave and delicate in- ternationaI problems, with which the federal government must deal that I would not wish to express any views which might embarrass the national administration or might be at vari- iance with a, definite national policy. I may add that personally I believe in an absolute strict and real attitude of neutrality for our country in the pres ent world conflict.
