strange gentleman. Whereupon Far
quhar turned in his tracks and drove
straight to Preston's lodgings His
purpose was now twofold, and fred
by white-hot fury Of indignation. In
the strange gentleman" he had rec
ognized Lowe, and Preston was a fool
with a following of other fools. For
in that moment Farquhar had ceased
to be a man overshadowed by his own
black destiny. He was once more and
for the last time the officer upon whose
shoulders rested the honor of a regi
ment, the great unity which he served
1t was a curious group Of men that
confronted him as he hesitated on the
| threshold That which he had expect
ed was not there. Evidently a caro-
game had been in full swing but hao
been violently interrupted. The card:
lay scattered on the square, green table
beneath the electric light, and there
was a. pile of untouched, apparently
forgotten money. Both Sower anC
Lowe were present, together will
Preston and one other man, whom
Farquhar did not recognize. They
stood far apart from one another, a'
though divided by some hidden antag
onism-Sower by the fireside, wher,
he maintained an attitude of easy good
gret; Lowe and the stranger kept t,
the shadow on opposite sides Of tn,
room. Preston was standing next tn,
table, his hands resting clenched OIL
the polished edge, his boyish face gra,
and drawn-looking. AS Farquhar saw
him the spirit of tension became def
mite, an almost visible occupant of tn,
quiet room. And yet 1t was Arnaud

violent emotion had made Temporal
rily old and haggard. He had been
seated by the card-table, but now
looked up, and for an instant they
watched each other in open hatred and
distrust
Farquhar came forward and his
eyes passed swiftly from one silent
figure to the other. And again 1t was
Arnaud's face which fascinated him.
"What has happened?" he asked.
No one answered for a moment.
Preston drew himself up.
"We were having a quiet game" he
said, as though each word were torn
from him by force-"Arnaud, Lowe

tain Sower arrived. 1t seems there's
been a leakage somewhere. 1 can't

The man addressed bowed. His
clean-shaven face was expresslonless.
"The duplicate plans OF Captain
Sewers new aero-gun have been sto-
len," he said tersely. "They were in
Captain Sewers possession, and he
was instructed to give full information
to the younger officers under his COM
mand. Various incidents led him to
believe that the secret had not been
properly kept. He put the matter into
my hands, and I've followed the clue
he gave me-here." He paused, sto-
ically unconscious of the almost the
atrical tension which his silence
caused. Farquhar glanced about him
His own pulses were beating faster.

A suit that is recommended by its
quiet Interpretation of the new modes
is sure to be approved everywhere.
Those who demand strictly plain and
wearable things for the street will
like it and it will bear the scrutiny of
those who insist upon its being up to

pears in the picture above.
This skirt and coat are adapted to
any of the accepted spring suitings-
serge. gaberdine, whipcord, ETC., in
plain cloths, and the shepherds

equally popular. its skirt is very full,
with a panel effect down the front,
having inverted plaits at each side

each side of the back. 1t is one of
the longest of the new models and
might be shorter with good effect
Rumors of skirts considerably length

are not quite so short as those of the

VIII the World Be Better7

Those not merely hoping and mean
ing to try for better world after the
war, but expecting one almost as a
matter Of course, forget that tho devo-
tion of unity which men display under
the shadow Of great fear, and the
stimulus of that most powerful and
universal emotion, patriotism, will slip
away from them when the fear and
the emotion are removed. If before
the war men were incapable of rising
to great and united effort for their own
betterment out of sheer love of per
fection, are they even as likely to be
able when. after the war, economic
stress puts greater strain on each
individuals good will?-John Gales.

ACTOR WANTED THE MONEY
Right at That Time Appeared to the
Stranded One to Be the Psy-
Geological Moment.

II you've stopped to count them,
probably upward Of one army corps Of
actors have been unwillingly involved
in one or another Il the various f.
nancial flops which have momentarily
saddened the CHEEKY managerial ca
reer of e. E. Rice, says the New York
cor; er7ondent of the Cincinnati Times
Star. Mr.. Rice has probably owed
more actors money than any other
manag who ever took a chance with
an eigh.-ounce bank roll on a ten-ton
prospect. Yet you will not find an in
dividual along Broadway who inspires
more kindly regard among his fellows
than the creator of "Evangeline." /"
There is a positively affectionate tone
in discussions of his personal affairs
and "reminiscences of his picturesque
managerial mishaps. Even now. many
actors would rather take the chance
of going stranded with Ed Rice than
accept a guaranteed engagement with
'me manager who has scads of
m 1ney in the bank and ice water in
hii arterial system.
Collectors of stories about Ed Rice
almost constitute a cult Therefore
whel it is possible to produce one that
has never been in print the matter is
Of a certain degree of importance
This now one came to the surface in q
popular cafe, and Walter Jones, the
actor, tcld it:
A leading man who had Saliantly
stuck to the ship with Manager Rice
until the inevitable finish came, with
several weeks salary unpaid, secured
another, but even less fortunate, en-
gagement. The second one left hin
stranded in a small town in Michigan
He telegraphed to Mr.. Rice, urgently
requesting a settlement of the salar,
claim.
Dear boy" Mr.. Rice telegraphed
impossible now Don't worry. YoI
Vii get it when you least expect it.
Sitting penniless in the grimy tele
eaaph office of an inhospitable hamlet
the leading man penned a bit of pa
thos. He wired Mr. Rice: Il least ex
pect it right now"

The fullness of the peplum is placed
in positions corresponding with those
that dispose of the fullness in the
skirt. The panel front of the skirt is
also repeated in the coat. The shaped
coatsleeves are perfectly plain and
the coat is fastened with cloth-covered
buttons, a little to one side of the
front. A small cape and narrow stand
ing collar acknowledge the strength
of the cape idea in spring fashions
and make the best possible finish for
the plain neck.
The leather-covered sailor hat with
leather ornaments worn with this
suit is strictly in keeping with it,
plain and up to date, made for utility
without neglecting style. Gloves and
shoes bespeak the same ideas as gov
erning their design. In this outfit one
may be conscious of being correctly
turned out as to tailored clothes.

shown. They are made OF Russian
calf, in either black or brown. and are
cut with a seam up the back and no
other seams except those where the
sidepieces are stitched to the toe
piece. The tongue is sewed to this
piece. The narrow perforations are
merely decorative and they also serve
to give graceful lines to this marvel of
smart comfort. The shoe has a low
and broad heel and an inconspicuous
extension to the sole. This is a sensi-
BILE and intensely practical shoe, quite
as smart as this more spectacular
shoes of buckskin IN which white and
tan, white and bright green, and white
and black are combined.
The beautifully finished high after
noon boot is made of black patent
leather and white kid. 1t is also
shown with uppers in light gray and
in putty color. Neat rows OF machine
stitching prove an adornment, as the
eyes for lacing do, because of the quail
ity Of workmanship evident in them.
The low shoes of black kid, with
kid-covered buckle at the front, are the
last word in that elegance that fash
ion demands-at any price. They
may be taken as criterion, and sim
liar styles measured up by compari-
son with them.

Announcement has been made of q

graduate study OF tuberculosis. 1t is
to be a memorial to the late DR.. e.
L. Trudeau, who was the first to put
to practical use the present rational

ton. The school will probably be To-
Gated at Saranac Lake. N. Y, where

In strength of fascination the mil
liners window displays have always
held first place, but now they have no
advantage over the displays of new
footwear. Throngs of shoppers seem
more eagerly interested these days in
the dainty and really wonderful shoes
that they study earnestly and with
much enthusiasm, than in any other
item Of apparel. 1t is a fact that in
stead of buying her shoes to match her
gown many a careful dresser now buys
her gown to match her shoes, and
she was never quite so exquisitely
clad as to her feet as she is today.
There are shoes for morning wear,
afternoon shoes, sports shoes, and eve
ming shoes. There are hign-very
high-models, and plenty of low shoes
for summer wear. Perhaps the most
novel Of all the new footwear is to be
found in the displays of sports shoes,
where comfort and "class" are so ef-
fectively combined.
This specializing in shoes means
that women will spend more on foot
wear and wear 1t with more discrim-
ination as to style than ever before.
The story of spring shoes is long. and
the three examples of new models pic
tured here will only serve as little
introduction to it. They are elegant and
authoritative selections, made by the
head of a house of national reputation.
