Dick Finds Margie Among
Her Books on the Eve
Of Her Operation

l asked Alice to take the key that
L always wear on the chain around
my neck and bring me all the "little
books from the secret drawer at the
back of the bookcase.
She had to make three trips, for
have filled good many of them
since that "last night of my girlhood."
All about me on the bed she put
them, and I picked them up, one af-
ter another, and almost Rugged them
up close to my heart.
Alice, who is very understanding
person, left the room and I was alone
with my dearest of confidants and
friends. ag.
As l held the one to which I had
confessed my Righteousness when
Sonny died, ! wondered II my dear
little red books were not my best
friends. They had never obtruded
themselves on me and yet they had
always been near when I wanted
them. They had let me run on with
my confessions of pride, of sorrow
of longing for things that perhaps
was better off without. They let me
make up my own mind without advice
and never said, Il told you so," when
found I was all wrong.
Just then Dick came in. His face
changed as he saw the books piled
about me, but he tried to speak nat
urally as he said: $50 you have de-
termined at last to let Pat publish
all these little books, Margie?"
mo, DEAR" l answered, II just had
them brought out here to try to help
me decide what I should do with
them"
"Shall I take care Of them. Mar
gie?" and Dick made as II to gather
them up.
Now isn't it queer, last little book
that some way, of all the people
knew l simply knew that Dick was
the very last one I wanted to take
care of the record of my soul?
"No, please don't touch them, DEAR

to take care of them until after |

Dick softly put his hand over his
mouth
Don't, Margie-you know nothing
is going to happen to you!"
His voice trembled little in spite
Of his effort to keep it perfectly nat

Canalized Emotions.

The world seems to be full of what may be called canalized emotions. One IS supposed" to love ones aunt or ones grandfather in certain defl- nite way, at the risk of being "un- natural" One gets almost sense of the quantitative measurement of emo tion. Perhaps the greatest tragedy of family life is the useless energy that is expended by the dutiful in keeping these artificial channels open, and the correct amount of cur rent running. It is exactly this that produces most infallibly the rebellion of the younger generation. To hear that one ought to love this or that person; or to hear loyalty spoken of, as the older generation so often speaks of, it, as if it consisted in an allegiance to something which one no longer believes in-this is what soonest liberates those forces of mad ness and revolt which bewilder Spir- itual teachers and guides. It is exact ly those dry channels of duty and ob- igation through which no living wa ters of emotion flow that it is the ideal of the. younger. generation to break up. They will have no network of emotional canals which are not brimming, no duties which are not equally loves.-Randolph s. Bourne in Atlantic

The Monkey and the Dolphin.

A Sailor bound on a long voyage, took with him Monkey to amuse him while on shipboard. As he sailed off the coast of Greece, a violent tenn pest arose, in which the ship was wrecked, and he, h1s Monkey. and all the crew were obliged to swim for their lives. A Dolphin saw the Mon- key contending with the waves, and supposing him to be a man (whom he is always said to befrienO, came and placed himself under him, to convey him on his back to the shore. When the Dolphin arrived with his burden in sight of land not far from Athens, he demanded of the Monkey if he were an Athenian, who replied that he was, and that he was descended from one of the most noble families of that city. He then inquired if he knew the Piraeus (the famous har- Dor of Athens). The Monkey, suppos- ing that a man was meant, answered that he knew him very well and that he was an intimate friend. The Dol phin, indignant at these falsehoods dipped the Monkey under the water and drowned nim.-From Aesops Fa- bles.

Young Bilkins is an enthusiastic de votee of amateur photography. He al- ways insists upon taking his family and friends posed in more or less ar tistic attitudes.
 Not long ago there was an exhibi- tion of the work 8 local photograph ic club to which the young fellow be- longs, and where were displayed the results of certain of his efforts to im- mortalize his family and friends. In one corner hung group of figures twisted into the most extraordinary positions, the general effect being that of persons in various stages of par alysis.
 ''Who in the world are those queer looking people?" asked someone.
 "Oh, those are some of Bilkins' strained relations" said bystander.

SAVED HIS JlTNEYS

Billy Hart, who recently re- signed as a National league um- pire, has lived frugally in his 30 years of baseball and as close guardian of his jitneys he is said to have rivaled Sam Leever. Umpire Charley Rig Ter had a lot of fun with Hart while paired with the veteran. While in Pittsburgh they stop ped at the Seventh avenue, but Hart preferred to get his little noon lunch at five-and-ten.
 Say, Bill," remarked Rigler to Hart one monday, the hotel is serving some fine clam chow der with a plate of toast for a dime. Try some of it."
 "A dime, Charley, are you sure?" exclaimed Hart.
 "Surest thing you know" re- piled Rigler. Just had some of it."
 Hart changed his mind about the beanery and returned to the hotel for his clam chowder and toast. He enjoyed it, but was handed a check for 40 cents. From that time on Hart ignored any tips handed him by Rigler.

vile club. With the compression of the old twelve club circuit into an eight team affair the Louisville nine was transferred to Pittsburgh and Clarke was placed in charge. That was in 1899, and ever since that time Clarke has been a factor in National league >pennant races.
 With Frank Chance of the Cubs and John McGraw of the Giants Clarke formed the Big Three of the senior circuit, and until Chance re- tired several years ago it was the Pirate chiefs boast that he had never finished out of the first division.
 The Pirate chief not only was a wonderful batter and fielder himself, but he had the knack of knowing ball players when he saw them, and time and again he successfully rebuilt his club when Father Time slowed up cog after cog in the machine.
 During twelve of the sixteen years he saw active service in the National league, Clarke hit in the neighbor- hood of 1925.
 Fred was born in Madison county, Iowa, October 3, 1872. He joined Louisville in 1894 after successful season in Memphis the year previous. From 1894 until 1912, when he volun- tarily retired from active work, Clarke was rated as one of the bright. est stars in the game.
 Fred announced in the spring of 1912 that he was through as an active player, and he did not again appear in the lineup as a regular.

Warrior of Today.

George Wharton Pepper said at . luncheon at the Plattsburg training camp for officers:
 'The methods of warfare have changed enormously in the past year The sword, for example, is no longer carried. The sword has quite disap- peared from war.
 "A story comes from the Argonne about French chasseur who took German officer prisoner. The chasseur, a boy, a tyro, said to the officer:
 "'Give up your sword
 But the officer shook his head and answered.:
 "I have no sword to give up. But won't my vitriol spray, my oil projec- tor or my gas cylinder do as well?'"

Manager Fred Clarke of the Pitts burgh National league baseball club has retired from baseball. Clarke has been in baseball for twenty-four years with Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates for twenty-two years, and manager of the Pittsburgh team in the National league since 1900.
 Clarke haa been anxious for some time to give his entire attention to his business interests in Kansas" said Dreyfuss in announcing the res ignation, land while he hates to leave the game he feels that continuance in it would involve too much of sac rifice."
 With the passing of Fred Clarke baseball will lose one of it's greatest managers and most brilliant outfield- CTS. Clarke was ranked among the leading players and managers through out his career of more than twenty years on the diamond. He will leave the game with enough of this world s goods to make him independent, for conservative estimates place the value of his farm lands near Winfield, Kan, at $100,000 and besides these he has a ranch in Idaho and investments in the Texas oil fields.

Cynthia's Contract
 t@ BT HAROLD CARTER

 Copyright, 1915, by w. G. Chapman.)
 The hotel register had her name Madame Alloni, but the hotel stood two miles from the village, and the moment she had passed the patch of woods that separated it's grounds from Meadowdale she became Cynthia Dale again. Insensibly she seemed to shake off the cosmopolitan airs that had attracted attention at the hotel the moment she set foot inside it. Her gait grew free, her step assumed the elasticity of girls. And, in fact, at thirty the famous opera singer had resolved to become girl again, just for one day." as she phrased it.
 Nobody in the little village would recognize in her anyone but the Cyn- thia Dale who had gone to New York and then to Munich to study music ten years before.
 But a year later her father had died, bankrupt; his wife had fol- lowed him within three months, and world, helpless.
 She had never permitted herself to think of those dreadful days of pov- erty and temptation. Gradually she had won out. For two years she had been one of the most famous of Muz- zini's opera singers. His companies were already famous throughout Flu rope Muzzini she had never met, but he had persuaded her to come to America, at fabulous salary. The contract had been signed abroad, and she was to meet him in New York in two days time.
 Suddenly homesick, the girl had de- cided to pay a visit to her native town. It had changed little. How every recollection came back to her as she set foot within it's limits. Cy Warner, the blacksmith, was still at his forge. He looked up as the styl- ishly dressed woman passed him, hes itated. and then beamed on her as she stopped to shake hands with him.
 Its Miss Dale," he roared, grasp ing her hands gently in his huge, hammer-hardened paws Well,
Williams news., 1916-03-30

Miss Dale, this is pleasant surprise. What brings you back? Looking pros porous, ain't you, now?"
 Yes, thank you, Papa Warner an- roared with delight.
 But I guess you're married now," he suggested.
 Mot yet" said Cynthia.
 Really, now? We'll, that's a pity. I'm sorry for someone, Miss Dale."
 He beamed and smiled after her, and she found the welcome of the lit tie town grateful to her after the hol- lowness of European cities. If l could really be a girl again!' she thought. If I hadn't signed that con- tract with Muzzini. fd-Td settle down here and-and perhaps get mar ried,' she ended. with blush.
 Somehow Cy's words had reminded her of her earliest Sweetheart, Joe Byrnes, How many times she had promised to marry him when they swung upon the gate together, or, boy and girl, strolled down the lanes, dDlOOm WlLn WllQ roses. Joe 6yTnoS, who also hoped to be a singer, and had never succeeded in anything!
 Unconsciously her feet were lead ing her in the direction of Joe's old home. Suddenly she stood still and gasped in amaZement Leaning thoughtfully over the gate, dressed in stylish clothes, was Joe himselfi
 Their recognition was mutual Joe lifted his hat, not with the old awk- wardness, but with a flourish redolent of fashionable society
 And Cynthia, shaking hands with Joe, found herself positively blushing again, like schoolgirl
 It was odd, too, but after their first embarrassment wore off, they found themselves chatting in much the old style, as they leaned over the gate Joe had at last succeeded He was in business, according to the impression he gave Cynthia, and he was in a fair way to become a rich man. He laugh. ingly admitted that he had abandoned his musical hopes forever. No, Miss Dale," he said, I've mixed a good deal with musical peo. pie. but I had sense enough to see

that hadn't any talent myself. But how about your" he added, looking at her keenly.
 And somehow Cynthia blurted out the truth. Joe took her statements with surprising ca1mness. though he shook hands with her again cordially.
 Its a shame you should have to use a professional name, Miss Dale oh, hang it, Cynthia. May 1 call you that as I used to do?" he added, red dening.
 And their talk drifted into still more intimate things. Somehow the illusion persisted perfectly. Cynthia was conscious of being a little girl again, with her first beau.
 Cynthia said Joe, later, do you know, in spite of the world, and it's ups and downs, I've always felt that I'd like to come back to the old place and settle down here again?"
 "So have I,' said Cynthia.
 "Tll be in a position to do so any time. as soon as I can get rid of my obligations" said Joe. Listen, Cyn- thia Suppose I did come back, and found you here, and-oh. Cynthia, dear, you know I haven't changed in all these years.''
 Cynthia let her hand rest in Joe's. You're dear" she said. 'But you're part of the illusion. I've never cared for anybody since I knew you-not se- riously. But, Joe, I don't think I should feel that when I got back to the big world. Joe, dear, if 1 were to meet you then-well, I don't know
 That's hope enough for me-" said Joe, as he left her at the end of the village. Somehow Cynthia had felt that Joe would be out of place at the hotel
 On the morrow she returned to New York, firmly resolved to break away from the life she hated, as soon as the dreaded Muzzini contract closed. At thirty dreams of a happy life, with husband and children, had | become more real to her than the ap- | plause of the audience and the glam- | our of the footlights.
 But when she was back in her apartment in the great city the | glamour once more took possession of her. She hardly slept that night. T don't know" she said to herself the next morning, as she dressed to go to the interview with Muzzini. Muzzini's office was crowded. Even | she had to wait, though she was to have the precedence over the crowd l of nondescripts that haunted the place. They looked at her with envy, and once again distaste for this life came over her. She recalled the time when she, too, had begged for inter- views with impresarios, and she pie tured Muzzini as just such a man as these-a pompous, underbred Italian. How she hated her contract!
 "Signor Muzzini will see Madam Alloni!" announced the office boy. 1 Cynthia followed him into the little room. She looked into the face of | Joe!
 Joel" she gasped, and suddenly she understood.
 q am Signor Muzzini,'' said Joe. "Ah, Cynthia, if I had known it was you before yesterday! I heard you had gone North, and I went after you, in fear that you were going to break your contract. Cynthia - Cynthia, darling, this is going to be your last contract but one. And the last, the very last, will be with me, tool"
 "The very last" murmured Cynthia, in his arms.
