TOKYO, May 6.-notwlthstandins that the time limit given China by Japan in It's ultimatum has about expired and notwithstanding that tho preparations for striking the first blow have been adequate, Japan still hesltates. The explanation ls that the United States is endeavorlns to mediate, and is us- ing all it's influence, backed by that Of Great Britain, Russia and France, to prevent the attack on China. While there is no attempt to disguise the fact that Japan is seeking an opportunity to evade American diplomatic inter- vention 1t is conceded that 1t ls im- possible for the Japanese government to refuse to give respectful hearing and great weight to the wishes and representations Of the United States and to preserve for herself the good will of the world.

Still They Wonder Why.

The two women were discussing
that never failing theme-the incom-
potency of domestic servants. And
the bit of the conversation we over
heard gave US line on possible rea-
son for many a disappointment in
that line.
well, am looking for new cool" "
said one of the women, "and l am at
my wits end. They come to you as
experts, well recommended and all
that, and they turn out to be lazy and
incompetent. declare l can't under
stand it,"
What became of the cook you had
last week." asked the other
my dear, she was positively the
limit She couldn't cook, she broke
dishes, she wasted food. she wasn't
neat and she was impudent. I have
reason to believe that she drank. Oh,
I had to get rid Of her. Honestly, she
was so bad in every way that could
hardly think of a thing to say when
wrote a recommendation for her!"

er. ignorant of life though she was.
and lonely had come to realize that.
She pitied the big man without a
woman to take care of him, to take
charge of his life. His coat was al
ways so dusty. She was sure he ate
things that were not good for him.
But since Crashaw had received six
months notice. according to contract,
Miss Thatcher had been worried about
her own future. At thirty a woman
of Miss Thatcher's type finds it diff
hcult to start at the bottom again;
and she saw no prospect of ever re-
ceiving twenty-five dollars to start.
What would her ability count against
the magic of personality?
That she lacked sorely, and she only
waited while the inexorable months
few by. She was too honest to look
for another position until Bryant &
Co dispensed with her services. So
she did nothing, and it was week
before Crashaw was to leave that the
blow fell
It came in the shape of curt official
letter, intimating that her services
would be no longer required one week
from date.
Little Miss Thatcher had not nerved
herself for the blow, though she had
expected it so long. She cried az
night and went down to the office
the next morning with a red nose.
All that day Crashaw kept her
buster than ever before in his private
office. 1t was not until five o'clock
that he leaned back in his chair and
watched Miss Thatcher attentively.
He was chucking to himself. kindly
man that he was. He had known
that Miss Thatcher would be dis
charged, and he had arranged to take
her over on his staff with the original
Bryant. who was starting another
business. He knew that the new peo-
pie. with their tricky ways, would
eventually have to go under, and per.
init Bryant to buy back the control
But he needed Miss Thatcher. and he
had always felt sorry for her.
Somehow her clothes seemed old
maidish; and he was sure that she

was a devotee OF the chatting dish.
He wished she had some good man to
take care of her.
She was never pretty, and not In the
least degree so at the present time,
with her eyes swollen from weeping.
and her nose decidedly pink. The
treasurer knew that she was worried
over having to go.
AS a matter of fact, Miss Thatcher
was almost equally worried over their
impending separation. Six years Of
Office companionship cannot but mean
a good deal And though she knew
her day-dreams were foolishness. still
they persisted, even though this cata-
clysm that had come on both of them.
well, Miss Thatcher, have given
you lot of work today" said Ora
shaw. But there will be very little
more And now | have a great and
trust pleasant surprise for you. Miss
Thatcher, there is something want
to tell you
Little Miss Thatcher was totally I'M
able to prevent the electric thrill that
ran through her. The very words! 1t
was coming at last! Amazed at her
prescience, she only stared at Ora
shaw with her weepy eyes.
Since you have been here" he re-
sumed, your work and your devotion
have inspired me with the greatest ad-
miration. Miss Thatcher"
The treasurer broke off in astonish-
ment. Miss Thatcher, always so staid
and self-possessed, was weeping open
ly. More, she was weeping on his
shoulder. And then she looked up at
him with a face that was so radiant
that the treasurer was no longer as
tonished-only glad.
He did not know how 1t happened,
either, but his arm had fallen about
her in the most natural way in the
world. Mr.. Crashaw was so very big,
and Miss Thatcher so frail that there
was one position toward which they
inevitably gravitated. In fact, if any
office boy had happened to enter at
that moment he would have seen Miss
Thatcher seated almost-not quite,
for the chairs edge did interpose a
tiny edge-well, on the treasurer
knee.
my dear faltered Crashaw, won
dering how such g wonderful piece Of
luck had come to him, and whether
he had blurted out anything which
might have been construed as a dec
laration.
That was the time when Miss
Thatcher altogether forgot the rest Of
the day-dream. For she only raised
her eyes to Crashaw's and whispered:
Eyes. l will. OF course, l will"
And Crashaw found himself gladder
than he had ever been in his life.

KURDS AVOID MOUNT ARAFAT
Believe That Peak on Which Ark IL
Said to Have Rested Is Guard
ed by Evil Spirits.

Every one of US knows that Noah's
ark f1oated 40 days and 40 nights
through the flood, and then came to
rest on the top of a tall mountain,
but it was surprise to me to learn
that the mountain rises above the
plain where the Garden Of Eden is
supposed to have been. And to me it
was a still greater surprise to learn
that the Kurds, who live in that dis
trict, never will climb the mountain,
because they believe tina: it is guard
ed by evil spirits.
Although have been close to Mount
Ararat | have never made the ascent.
1 have seen its twin peaks, Little Ara
rat and Big Ararat, rising purple and
crimson in the dusk of twilight as our
train shrieked its way close by its
foot, and | have listened to the
stories of the Jinns and Fiends and
Giants that guard its summit, with
some amusement and much sympathy.
But when I think of railway train
running through the Garden of Eden
l can understand how the supersti-
tious Kurds can believe in evil spirits
that guard the mountain where the
ark came to rest.
Ararat is in Caucasian Russia be-
tween the Black and Caspian seas,
close to the borders of Persia, where
all our fairy tales originally came
from: therefore it is really not amaZ-
ing that the Kurds will carry you back
down the mountain in your sleep, If
they can, to keep themselves safe
from the spirit guards, and blame
your transportation on the spirits.
But IL you persist you will reach the
top as James Bryce and others have
done.-Temple Manning in Washing
ton Times.

DREAMS COME TRUE
BY ELEANOR w. ATWATER.

Crashaw was leaving Bryant & Co.,
and little Miss Thatcher was in de-
spair She had worked for the big,
blond treasurer for nearly six years
and she could not bear the thought OF
working for anyone else.
Crashaw was to leave because the
firm wanted cheaper man. Besides,
the new management was little
crooked, at least, in comparison with
the rigid standards of the original Bry-
ant & Co. The name was to remain,
but the new blood" was not blue
blood It was not good blood. Miss
Thatcher knew that, as everyone did.
She knew, too, that her position was
shaky. The new people were drop
ping the old staff. They had the new
blood" mania. Besides, they wanted
people with the crooked streak in
them. Of course, it does not matter
what a plain stenographer's princi-
pies are, but the new people did not
like the "ladylike" atmosphere of the
correspondence department. 1t wanted
cheap, slangy girls who chewed gum
and made mistakes, thereby being
worth seven or eight dollars a week
only Miss Thatcher was getting
twenty-five
Miss Thatcher was thirty She lived
alone in a boarding house, and had
lived there, in backwater of the city,
since she came to the metropolis, at
twenty-three. And, living alone, she
had INDUCED in day-dreams
OF late months Crashaw had fig
ured largely in these. The big, sim
pie treasurer was a bachelor He was
the best man on earth, in Miss Thatch-
er's opinion. Because one is very
daring in day-dreams, even a mouse
colored individuality like Miss
Thatcher's, her day-dreams had taken
this form:
Miss Thatcher, there is something
want to tell you Since you have
been here your work and your devo-
ton have inspired me with the great
est respect for you. Can l venture to
hope that some day you will honor me
by becoming Mrs. Crashaw?"
why, Mr.. Crashaw, never dreamed
of such a thing Give me a little
time to think it over OF course, I
utterly reciprocate your sentiments,
but I am not sure whether I love
you"
Nothing like that had happened.
Crashaw's unfailing courtesy betrayed
no tender feeling. And Miss Thatch-
