CHAPTER XI
Tears From the Gaiety.

Friday morning found Mr.. Minot
ready for whatever diplomacy the
day might demand of him. He had a
feeling that the demand would be
great. The u~nheralded arrival of Mss
Gabrielle Rose and her packet OF let
tiers presented no slight complication.
Whatever the outcome of any suit she
might start against narrowly, Minot
was sure that the mere announcement
OF 1t would be sufficient to blast Jeph-
sons hopes for all time. Old Spencer
Meyrick. already infiamed by the cpl
sode of the elder brother, was not like
ly to take coolly the publication of
Harrowby's discriminating letters.
After an early breakfast. Minot
sent a cable to Jephson telling of Miss
Roses arrival and asking for infor-
nation about her. Next he sought an
interview with the Gaiety lady.
An hour later, in a pink and gold
parior OF the Hotel de la Pax, he stood
gazing into the china-blue eyes of
Miss Gabrielle Rose. 1t goes without
saying that Miss Rose was pretty; III
hocent she seemed, too, with a baby
stare that said as plainly as words.

He removed the copy from O'Neill's
hand. and glided with it into the 9TH
or room. Scarcely had he disappeared
when the door was opened furiOusly
and a painting man stood inside. Mr..
Henry Trimmer's keen eye surveyed
the scene.
"Wbere's Mears-Elliott?" he cried.
"You're not the cashier, are your

Don't try to be funny" roared
Trimmer. I'm looking for the editor
Of this paper"
"Your search is ended" O'Neill re-
plied. What is it?'
"You mean you-Say. I've got a
front-page story for tomorrow's issue
that will upset the town"
"Come to my arms" cried O'Neill.

"The real Lord narrowly has been
kidnapped"
O'Neill stared at him sorrowfully.
"Have you been reading the
Duchess again?" he asked. who the
hell is Lord Harrowby?"
do o mean to say you don I
know? Where have you been buried
alive?"
Out of the inner room glided Man
uel Gonzale, and recognizing him, M.
Trimmer poured into his ear the story
of Georges disappearance. Mr.. Con
yale rubbed his hanus.
"A good story" he said. "A vecy
good story. Thank you, a thousand
times. | myself will write it,"
With a scornful glance at the two
strangers. Mr.. Trimmer went out, and
Manuel GonZale sat down at his desk.
O'Neill and, Howe returned to their
encyclopedia dispatches.
There you are" said Gonzale at
last, standing. Put an eight column
head on that, please, and run it on the
front page A very fine story. The
paper must go to press"-he looked
at a diamond studded watch-"in an
hour. Only four pages. Please see

ton" At the door he paused. ut oc-
ours to me that your e%xchequer may
be low. Seventy-five dollars a week
for the managing editor. Fifty for the
city editor. Allow me-ten dollars
each in advance. If you need more,
pray remind me-"
Into their hands he put crinklinS
bills. And then, gliding still like the
fox he looked, he went out into the
night.

fairies are abroad tonight. l hear

look a gift bill in the treasury number.
Don't try to penetrate behind the be-
yond. Say nothing and let us eat. How
are you coming with the mushroom
, seriel?"
An hour later they sent the paper to
press, and sought the grill room of
the Hotel Alameda. AS they came
happily away from hat pleasant spot,
0'Neill spied a fruit-stand. He
stopped and made a few purchases.
Nov" said Howe, 'let us go over
and meet the circulation manager.
Here-where are you going. Bob?"
"Just a minute" O'Neill shouted
back. Come along, Harry. I'm go

to feed that alligator"

Has Christianity Failed?

In the presence Of wars revolving
realities mems thoughts turn from
idealistic theory to the concrete fact.
The suggestion Of a German writer
that Christianity should declare a
moratorium. Il suspension of the obi
cations Of conventional faith, arrests
the attention of distressed humanity.
1t is a serious, a sensible inquiry, that
should not be too readily accepted or
rejected.
CHRIST can have no blessing for

hearts to approach the table OF the

Of "A whole panoplied vocabulary of

Will faith be destroyed, or purified?

The financial advantage OF thus
diminishing the much regretted high
cost of living is enhanced by the re
cent view of the United states Public
Health Service with regard to the prob
ability of the Increased prevalence OF
fatal diseases that are ph~ysiologically
due in the latter years of life, fifteen
to twenty years earlier, being due to
the fact that people now food
too rich in elements not required in
the latter half of life by those whose
occupations do not necessitate eXer-
else. 1t is thought that imperfect dis
posal or oxidation of these superfiuous
nutritive elements results In the pro-
duction and retention of decomposing
material which handicaps the climi-
mating organs. giving rise to harden.
ing of the arteries and other ills.
Whether this explanation is correct
or not, the saving of money and vital
ity by proper attention to food values
Is obvious.

Wanted, an Avenue Of Exit.

One of the possible advantages to
automobile traffic would he IN avenue
of exit from this city more slightly and
pleasant TO traverse than the routes
that are now avoldable In whatever
direction the traveller goes. The on
vlrons Of n great city are rarely beau
tiful. Those of New York are esle-
cially destitute Of charm. 1t is neces-
sary to ride for half an hour before
anything is found approaching the
sort of scenery for which tourists by
automobile are usually seeking.
1t matters not whether the traveller
starts toward Westchcster or New
Jersey, there Is little difference in the
d.sagreeable nature of the scenes
through which his road lies. In the
direction of Long Island the situation
Is the same. When the country is AT
last reached the traveller is eager for
It's appearance after the sights evil
IDENTITY inseparable from all the out
lying districts of our cities.
SO 1t would be a blessing to auto
mobilists could there be arranged AT
least one avenue destitute of the
sights which It IS necessary To en-
counter now in leaving or entering the
city by motor car.
