to pour out his impassioned words-had
started, only to be be stopped by her
gentle refusal to listen, the choking
words that had sounded like the pitiful
cry Of a soul in distress-T have no
right to a good mans love-I am not
worthy Of it," And then she had led
him back to the hotel, had sung this
song for him and had rushed. sobbing,
from the piano, with the heart-broken
strains still ringing in his ears.
He cursed at his own memories and
stopped the machine
damn that cutters song, anyhow"
he muttered. "Tve got no more gump
ton than a school boy. I'm going to
bed"
But he had scarcely started to take
his clothes off when the telephone on
his wall rang sharply.
Hello" he called.
It was Capt. CraigmOre's voice that
answered him. 1t sounded tense,
strained. with a nervous choke in it,
"SayviIIe." it said. Come down right
away. Something terrible has hap
pened. I'm in the drafting room"
Some unfamiliar note of helplessness
in the officers usually snappy tones
made Sayville hang up with an excla-
nation Of puzzled establishment In
moment he had resumed his coat and
had rushed downstairs, all thoughts of
girl-faces and heart broken songs and
moonlight and tapping waves driven
from his mind by the urgency Of the
summons. He threw open the door of
the drafting room unceremoniously but
paused in surprise at the threshold.
Capt. Craigmore was not alone, as he
had expected. A dozen or more Off
GERS of the station were in a group at
one side of the room, their faces white,
awed, horror-stricken as they turned at
the sound of his noisy entrance. There
was an ominous silence, broken at
length by the half-sobbing voice Of
Craigmore.
Come over here, Sayville," said the
captain. Look at this"
Sayviue followed the shaking index
finger and recoiled at what he saw. 1t
was the body of young ensign Allen.
1t lay. face upward, on the floor. the
staring eyes fixed classify upon the
ceiling. a great. purplish blotch on the
left temple, blood smeared and sunken
where the skull had caved in, showing
that he had gone down under a terrible
blow. Beside it lay a heavy iron poker
from the fireplace, the ornamental han
die clotted and horrible with its evil
dences of brutal murder. Again Capt.
Craigmore's voice cut into the sitting
silence.
And look there"
This time his fingers pointed to the
steel case of drawers built into the
wall of the room. One Of them had
been battered and pried until it's locks
had given way. It hung half out OF its
opening now, crumpled and-emptyI

shook il in the air-"there are ways of
settling this score unknown to anyone
outside that will be swifter and surer
and more satisfying to us than any
that the courts would provide"
Sayville looked from one to the other
of them questioningly but encountered
nothing but blank helplessness.
But surely there is some way of
knowing who did this-some clue, isn't
there he demanded.

Sayville felt a chill of apprehension

He rushed from the room, purposely
Ignoring Capt CraigmOre's petulant de-
mand for an explanation. Warner was

his ears as Sayville burst in upon him.
The wrinkles on the young operators
brows showed that he was puzzled. He

GGN ONT talk about being master
II in your own house You may
be while you are there, but
you have to go out"
A man friend voiced this advice to
husbands some time ago. In his view
the correct one?
1 do not think it is. I maintain that
it is the wife, not the husband at ALL
who is master of the house all the time
There is no may be" about it.
I am speaking domestically, of course
and take 1t that my friend was speak
ing domestically also. 1 do not see
how any sensible thinking man may
be" master of the household, even while
there.
The house and all that in it is. is
emphatically the wifes province The
mans duty begins and ends in paying
the rent and taxes and providing the
housekeeping money. He has no more
right to boss the house than his wife
has to interfere in his business at
fairs.
Of course, the husband comes after
the wife. 1t must be so. In a sense
a husband is privileged lodger: he
has rights that no ordinary ledger has,
but there is a limit to his rights.
So long as a man has a capable wife,
the control Of servants the condition
Of the house Itself. the provision of
meals, and the ordering OF domestic
affairs generally is entirely and COM
pletely her affair.
The man who does not let his wife
run her house in her own way is re-
ducing her to the position Of a paid
housekeeper. and no woman Of spirit
should submit to that, her very pride
ought to prevent her allowing her
rightful position to be usurped.
Seldom n Success.
There are, il may be argued, GER
tain occasions when it is necessary for
a man to interfere. That is true. But
he should only do so at his wife's re-
quest Servants often take more no
tice of what a man says; but that is
because. if he is sensible, he rarely
says anything to them A husband who
has to dismiss or reprimRnd a maid
should always do so to save his wife
the diss greeable task. and not for any
other reason.
A household that is bossed by the
husband is seldom success. No mat
ter how domesticated and fussy man
may be-and most domesticated men
are fussy-he cannot run things as
smoothly as can a competent woman
He is attempting to perform work that
Nature never intended him to perform.
1t is faulty argument to say that
because the husband pays he should
be the master. Before he married,
whether he lived at home, in lodgings,
or in a clearinghouse, he was more
or less under feminine rule in house,

great finesse are shown, and there is

this specimen a great deal of emotion,
passion and sensitiveness in the slant

one quality that viii carry you

There is more potency in it than there

Who are the people that we like best
and for whom we will do most? Those
who, in the homely old phrase, rub our

Who are those who succeed? The
people who knew how to get along

Of course there are a few fortunate
people who are born diplomats and
know instinctively just what to do or
say. Theirs is the superfine brand of
tact. but the balance OF US can acquire
a very useful, working variety of tact

much thought and care in avoiding

The fascination.
Yet we all know the woman for
whom forbidden topics seem TO have a
fatal fascination. She always talks to
Divorces about domestic scandals, and
discusses penitentiary reforms with the
wives Of bank embezzlers, or tells
stories about deformed people to
hunchbacks, or she abuses suffrage to
BuffragetE, or ridicules some particular
RELIGION to a devotee of that faith.
Don't be like these tactless ones,

the weather or some equally innocuous
topic until you can get your bearings.

Finds Why Zinc Lining
In the Ammunition Boxes;
Was Custom for 90 Years

Paris. France. March 1.-THE parliament
airy committee on economy which has been
investigating ways and means Of saving
money in the public service, tells in its lat
est report how a member OF the committee
was one day struck by the fact that all the
ammunition sent TO the front was packed in
zinc-Iined boxes. The attention Of NJ
Thomas minister Of munitions was called
to the fact, and he suggested that inquiries
should be made at the front II the zinc
was superfluous It would be suppressed
Two members Of the committee accord
ingly followed a box Of cartridges from
Vincennes up to the front trenches but
failed TO find out where the zinc was nee
essary. They consulted everybody en- route
from generals and colonies down to privates
but without result. AT last the general
commanding the Fifth army solved the
puzzle: the zinc was used. he said merely
because It had been used for the last so
years.
The committee communicated this infor-
nation to minister Thomas who at once
issued instructions that no more nc-lining

saving will amount to million and a half
dollars a year.
