depths of the secret, but not before she
had said by way of apology:
"a week, my dear, is very short
time to be ignored with a suspicious
looking envelope of this kind" and
this remark was thoroughly appreciat-
ed by Violet Faith Charity.
my dear" said Violet, SIT all hap
pened because 1 attended services on
Christmas eve, but to begin at the time
when l last saw you, the one day L
most distinctly recall was the day L
met Frank. He was on the stage, and
believing him to be q regular actor
dared not mention him to Aunt Agnes.
For years l suffered the annoyance Of
entertaining her choice acquaintanceS
and met with her disapproval for my
utter indifference. You can imagine my
relief when the second appearance of
Frank in our little city showed him
in the light of a chautauqua singer
consequently eligible to admittance to
the best circles. He sang some of your
compositions, won my aunt, took his
bride, and here I am. Suppose you take
glance at the other envelope that
came by the same messenger"
Mae, speechlessly, laid down the
'story of my life" and fingered the
small envelope, which held another sur
prise; silently reached for her letter
opener, and inside of another minute
check for $1,000 fell into her lap.
When she could pull herself together
sufficiently she read the little note ac-
cOmpanying:
Dear Miss Hope-I sang your songs
at Edgewood and they made the hit
we have both been waiting for. 1 won
bride and you win the cash. Merry
Christmas.

made us both happy. He has given you

@HRISTMAS eve had come and the
long, busy day was over at last.
The toys were not sorry, for they
were quite tired out with the hustle
and noise, though they Rad enjoyed the
company of the crowds of children,
who had been about all day. But you
see even engines and trains, ener-
getic though they are, like to stop a
minute after they run down; jumping
jacks want to catch their breath be-
tween jumps and dogs that bark and
sheep that bleat and lions that roar
enjoy little spaces of silence just like
other folks.
But every one of them had done his
best stunt over and over all day and
now, in quiet and darkness, they could
go to sleep-all but the dolls, who had
been left standing bolt upright and
who couldn't shut their eyes in conse-
quence. So they stood up without a
wink and used the night to think and
think, when
Mamma, mamma" came from some
where Had some child been left in
the toy shop by mistake and locked in?
Mamma, mamma, mamma" The
sound was familiar, when the toys
walked up enough to use their minds.
They had heard that squeaking call
all day.
Dear me, child" exclaimed the big
doll from Paris-the doll with the
beautiful face and delicate nerves, who
stands right behind the mamma doll"
"Stop that crying Take off that pla-
card !" you've seen the sign on dolls,
II can say Mamma Fanchon was
cross indeed, but wasn't she beautiful
4ou see her in the picture at the left
of Charlie Chaplin. She is in street
dress with mole-colored corduroy coat
and hat of the same material with pink
velvet facing. She has real lace at
her wrists and ermine furs.
''Maybe it is time for first aid to
hurt feelings" thought the boy scout
who stood near, so he said, "Never
mind that French lady; she doesn't
know what it is to be afraid of the
dark. You'll find mamma in the
morning." and the boy scout who was
covered with 'merit badges" turned
back to his particular charge. You
see, he had picked up an Indian pap
poose as he came through the wood,
and there she hung in her funny bark
cradle on his arm-little Owaissa, the
bluebird.
Meanwhile Emil and Katrina Kru-
sen, who didn't understand English
very well, kept to themselves and
spoke in German. They were, many
people thought, the prettiest dolls in
the shop. (You should have seen the

seems to me since he held my manu-
script for six weeks, he could have
given it desk room for another day,
thus permitting me to live up to my
name today of all days"
After this outburst, Mae Hope, a
would-be song writer sank into
chair, thrust bulky envelope from the
Frank Charity Music Publishers into
her desk, and sat hopelessly gazing at
the small epistle from the same office
and with a slight touch of humOr and
a faint suggestion of a smile, recited
the contents of that letter-not
through the envelope, which she had
not opened, but from memory:
"Sorry, Miss Hope, that this is not
yet quite up to the standard, but sin
cerely trust you will not be discour-
aged, ETC., ETC."
For three years Miss Hope had been
receiving these distressing notes from
the genial young publisher, who could
not summon the courage to advise her
to give up. Perhaps he realized it was
merely a case of humoring an mag
mary talent rather than attempting to
earn a living as the young lady's in
come was sufficient to keep her alive
flashing on the public her picture serv-
ing as a cover over some sentimental
verses accompanied by music.
1t was the morning of the last day
of the third unsuccessful year. Mae
Hope was interrupted at breakfast by
the sound of the door bell.
"A lady to see you, Miss Hope"
spoke the maid.
The name on the card seemed to add
insult to injury.
Mrs. Frank Charity never knew
he was married. Maybe it is someone
else. Probably somebody knows l need
charity. Tell her 1 will be down i'm
mediately."
One glance at her visitor assured
Miss Hope it was no stranger, but an
old school friend.
"Violet FAITH You? The card reads
Mrs. Charity"
"Why, Mae, you seem surprised"
How should know you were mar
ried?"
"Violet, stealing a glance at the dis
orderly desk, remarked tartly:
perhaps it would be a good idea
to read your letters if you want to
keep up with the parade"
You don't mean," picking up the
bulky envelope from the Frank Char
ity Music Publishing company, that
this is letter from you. 1t looks for
all the world like manuscript"

painters call flesh tints," and saw to
it that there was pleasant expression
on 1t. Katrina looks troubled in the
picture, but that is because she is a
little homesick for the kind of Chris
mas they have in Germany. She says,
"Ach! Emil? 1 want to be in the lit.

in the Jester, over at the left, who
never would let anybody be sad if he
could help it. 'When it's a doldrum !"

FISH SALES HEAVY
EGGS. IN STRONGER DEMAND,
DROP IN PRICE IN FIRST
WEEK OF LENT.

During the first week of Lent
Madison has consumed between coo
and 700 pounds of fresh, sailed,
smoked and canned fish. according TO
estimates made today by dealers.
The amount of fish sold here since
Ash Wednesday is more than double
that ordinarily purchased in a similar
length of time. it is said. 1t is pre-
dicted that the heavy demand for
fish will continue right up until
Easter Sunday.
Fresh fish on sale includes salmon,
pike and halibut. from the Great
Lakes and the Pacific coast. Fresh
fish ranges i'm price from 10 cents to
20 cents a pound.
Despite the fact that there has been
a steady increase in the demand for
eggs since the beginning of Lent,
eggs have dropped in price during
the week from 20 cents to II cents
a dozen.
The interspersing of the usual
meat courses with fish and eggs, how
ever, has not had the effect of re-
ducing the price of meat. The com
parative scarcity of live stock, and
the recent increase in wages given
the tens of thousands of employees in
all the larger packing houses has re
suited in the wholesale price of meat
holding firm at a high level rarely
before reached, it is explained.

VILLA is Played
MEXICAN NEWSPAPERS DISCUSS
THE RAID BY THE BAN
DIT GENERAL.

Mexico City, Mex, March l5.-The
news of the attack on Columbus by
Villa and his followers was first
made public here Sunday morning,
when the official organ, Ell Pueblo,
published the text of the note of the
Mexican government asking the gov
eminent at Washington to permit
the passage of Mexican soldiers into
American territory if such became
necessary in the pursuit of Villa and
at the same time granting to the
United States the reciprocal privilege
of entering Mexican territory for the
same purpose.
Under the caption The Columbus
Case; Roguery of Native and For
eigners," Ell Pueblo says editorially
The infamous. t%raitorous work Of
the Villa band in the United States
has finally reached its most abhor-
rent strength. Because they were
impotent to stem the military tri-
umphs of constitutionalism they have
tried to force armed Intervention by
the United States in the affairs in
Mexico in an endeavor to gain the
most advantage.
"These enemies of civilization and
liberty conspire against the harmony
and peace that ought to prevail be-
tween the two peoples, who, because
of their inclination. culture, ideals
and geographical position. are called
upon Jointly to share the task of
working out the destiny of this west
ern hemisphere.
The invitation Of the Mexican
government, founded as il is in inter
national practice. is the most eff
cient means of satisfying public ven
geance.
we profoundly are convinced
that the American government main
tanning that scrutiny and judgment
so necessary i'm this unhappy event
will follow its initial policy of respect
toward the Mexican government and
will combine with it to take such ac-
ton as such circumstances warrant.
In this way the misery of war
thus provoked by the criminal ma
neuvers of the enemies of both gov
ernments and both peoples viii have
been averted. At any rate, we can
assure the whole world that Mexico
will never lose her international citI-
zenship. but because she would pre-
fer to suecumb gloriously in the
rough sea of heroic struggle-the
supreme recourse of a people born
never TO be slaves
