HIDE THEIR REAL FAVORITES
Claim Made That Few Literary Men
Tell the Truth When Asked
Leading Question.

Now and again men of letters and
other persons more or less in the pub
lie eye are requested to put them
selves to the question and to write
out a list of their fayorite characters
in fiction. Sometimes they are hidden
to stand and deliver the names Of
stalwart heroes, and sometimes they
are desired to lisp lovingly a list of
loves herones.
And as these men of letters and 9th
er persons more or less in the public
eye are human, after ALL and therefore
hypOcrites, they are likely to go on the
stand with no intention of telling fhe
whole truth, says Scribner's Magazine.
Their secret delight may be in the
mysterious vengeances of Nick of the
Woods yet this is what they would
never dare confess, so they get out u
search warrant and they take up a
collection of their thoughts in order
to produce rs their first choice Achil-
les or Ulysses, Gargantua or Marius
the Epicurean.
They are equally lacking in frank
ness whore they volunteer to name a
bevy of hcrolncs. They may make a
bluff of indifference to beauty by put
ting In Jane Eyre; but no one Of them
would be bold enough to acknowledge
his sneaking fondness for Becky Sharp,
that most fascinating vilIaincss.

Mrs. RaWdon Crawley, thereby incur.
ing the reproach of Taine-tO the eff
feet that her creator did not love
Becky as Balzac loved Nine. Marneffe.
Yet, try as hard MS he could, Thack-
cray failed to arouse in the average

GOOD AND EVIL IN JEALOUSY
All Right When IL Spurs to Greater
Efforts; Wrong When II Be-
comes Unreasoning.

Jealousy develops very early in our
lives. In fact, even as children, we
felt Jealous of other children--Of their
pretty clothes, their toys and play
things.
In our schooldays, because of jeal-
ousy over the rapid advancement of
other pupils, we have worked harder
perhaps, so that we, too, might reach
higher marks In our studies; thus we
have gone ahead of our schoolmates.
Because we have been jealous Of
our npighbor's prosperity, we have de-
veloped ambition; because we have
been Jealous of wife or husband, we
have tried more strenuously to please
them; because we have jealousy
guarded our country's honor, we have
secured place second to none among
the nations of the world.
jealousy is subtle passion, and
must be carefully analysed. We must
never lose sight Of the fact that 1t Is
a devastating monster, which If al
lowed to fasten itself upon our lmagl-
nation too strongly, will grow to ter
| rifle proportions.
! The force that Is expressed In 1eal-
ousy may If wisely governed and
guided Into helpful channels, become
the source Of achievement that shall
upllft and aid In the worlds work,
while IL left to take Its destructive
course II may bring down the walls
of the temple about the ears of an EN-
bryonic Samson.
unreusoning jealousy is blightins

and consider whether he's going to get
his clothes mussed up and his arm dis
located and maybe his neck broken. Or
he can rush in. That's fair comparison,
Matt! Amt it?"
The metallic voice seemed to batter
against Matthew with ponderable force.
He shrank in his chair, one fist lying
against his chest, the other hand clasped
over it, and his chin sinking to the clasp
ing hand
aYes," he said, very low; "it's fair
comparison"
IN the same bowed, shrunken attitude,
he was silent long time, as it seemed
to Mark. 1t may have been whole
minute, or two minutes, while his fasci-
mated mind explored the situation.
"Yes," he repeated looking up at
Mark; "it's fair comparison. Yet
don't see how can do it. It's the same
situation over again-Tm afraid. The
idea paralyzes me. You see, Mark, I've
told them the report was forgery. I've
said l never made it. To father that
report now-it simply appals me, Mark.
He was pleading with him. He pleaded
yet more earnestly:
al acknowledge my debt. I know I
owe it to you. owe you-anything that's
mine to give. But l must try another
way first. Let me try for compromise"
he begged. at may work. I'll take it up
with the inspector as soon as he comes
back. He's coming soon, you know. I'll
buy back every share of stock that's been
sold. I'll replace every dollar that's been
lost. If haven't enough money of my
own to do it, can borrow it. John Meyer
will lend me what need. I'll pay back
every dollar! Let me try that, Mark. 1t
may work. I'll do it gladly!"
A dull flush of anger spread over
Marks face; his dark eyes burned.
@Hell!" he cried scornfully.' aYou know
we'll enough the government never COM
promises! When did they ever compro-
mise case like this? Never! You know
they'll laugh at you. You can save me,
Matt, or you can throw me over Which
is it going to be? You know what did
for you. You can look the inspector in
the eye and say Il find was mistaken.
l did make this report Maybe my judg-
ment was bad, but made it. And that's
the end of it for you. Or you can throw
me overland look my children in the eye
when I'm in the penitentiary, If you can.
You've got to decide, Matt! Which is it
going to be?"
The tormented man at the other side
of the desk had no chance to answer just
then. The door at the right opened, and

full, her lovely Jewess face quite COM
posed, but her eyes at the moment as
dark as her hair. She carried double
handful of papers, and at sight of Mark
Stein murmured:
"Oh, pardon my coming in. Good
morning, Mr.. Stein"
Composedly she stepped over to the
desk, upon which she deposited the
papers, arranging them in a neat stack.
The uppermost document consisted of
several long sheets of typewriter paper
with a sheet of heavier pink paper on the
outside as binder. An inscription, type
written in black ink, appeared on the back
of the pink sheet.
Il thought you might be wanting these
papers" she explained apologetically to
Matthew. inspector Maxwell has tele-
phoned that he is on the way up here to
get them. Would you mind looking over
that letter to Denver now?"
He looked blankly up at her, amazed at
so discourteous request at that moment.
at will take you only couple Of min
utes," she pleaded in her low, rich voice.
II am very anxious to get away to-day as
soon as possible. If you don't do it now,
l shall have to wait until the inspector is
through. It's lying on my desk--if you
will give me only couple Of minutes.
Amazed at her, and rather helplessly,
he got up.
3Will you excuse me minute, Mark?"
he asked, embarrassed.
am sure Mr.. Stein will, said Ruth.
Turning her head, she looked down into
the face of the man on the other side of
the desk with the faintest smile-an odd,
meaning kind of smile. Her eyes, with
the odd little smile in them, were upon
his for moment. Then she turned to
Matthew with more open smile, repeat
ing, "Just minute!" and, so to speak,
fairly compelled him through the door
way into her room.
LIE stood there, just over the threshold,
while she picked up two typewriter
letter sheets from her desk. He had got
them i'm his hand when he heard a slight
sound behind him, and turned in time to
see Mark darting into the ante-room.
For an instant he gaped; then his eye in
stinctively fell to the neat little stack of
documents on his desk. He saw that the
top one, bound in pink paper, was missing.
"Stop! Stop!" he cried, and ran
through into the ante-room, which was
echoing with the slam Of the door to the
corridor.
"Mark! It's not minel" he shouted,
and ran on into the corridor.
Evening star., 1916-08-06

But Mark was not in sight. Whether
he had dashed down the stairway or
caught an elevator, Matthew did not
know. He stared along the corridor;
then slowly, in a daze, returned to his
own Office, went quite mechanically into
Ruth's room, and dropped into chair.
"Why, he's stolen the report, Ruth, he
gasped, dumfounded. 3He will destroy
it! 1t isn't mine! Oh, he shouldn't have
done it! What can l say to the inspec-
tor?n
Aghast, he drew his hand across his
forehead.
CHE looked down at him with that sub
tie lowering shimmering in her deep
eyes, touching her lips, and spoke low and
softly as to child:
"You've known him all your life, Mat
thew. You've always known him for
liar, haven't your"
"Oh. yes," he replied, surprised at so
useless question. Mark has always
been fearful liar"
She laughed little.
"You've always known him for fearful
liar; but you didn't know he was lying
to you in there
He looked puzzled.
"Of course l listened she said. @As
for Mark. could hear we'll enough with
out listening. All that stuff he told you
about reforming-paying his debts, not
drinking or gambling for ten months
was lie. He said you could ask Thad
Meyer if you didn't believe it. Well, I
didn't believe it: l asked Thad Meyer
called him ON the private telephone. OF
course. every word Of it was a great lie.
He's been just as bad as ever. AS for
Rose and the children" Her eyes spar
kled and dusky tinge Of wrath went over
her face.
"You mean" said Matthew, under
standing with astonishment, 3he just
came up here to gull me-
Certainly he did!' she replied prompt
ly and with some sharpness. "He meant
to climb out of his trouble over your back.
What else would Mark Stein mean?
Would anybody who knew him, except
you, suppose he meant anything else?"
81 see-I've been gulled,' he said de-
jectedly, sitting rather Imply in the chair.
"It's perfectly true, what they all say.
They. all say it-Emma and Sara and
Gus. Thad Meyer. Uncle Emanuel--all
of them. They say l need a guardian.
It's. perfectly true" he muttered humbly.
Ruth then glanced down at her desk

She made no reply, and for moment
he room was silent.
4Of course, shall have to tell the in

,onor bound not to let that report get
way from me-"
And at that he sprang up, startled.
@Oh, should have telephoned!

lifting still-as if I wanted him to get
away! look like an accomplice! Get

Here is Marks report. What he
ran away with was only dummy

with it.
, From drawer in her desk she
drew pink-bound document.
He seized it half incredulously,
glancing at the superscription on
the back.
@You, RUTH" he cried. aYou
knew? You knew me as well as
him! You did this?'
She looked him steadily in the
eye an instant, and flushed, say
ing low:
ayes, Matt; held the horses
that time" 1,
The words mysteriously agitated him,
rs if they had meaning he could not
quite make out.
aOf course you didl" he exclaimed.
4Why, it's you, Ruth, who are always
taking care of me! Yes, you're my
guard"
THE word was not finished. A meaning
suddenly came to him. In the middle
,f the word something pierced the shell
of abstraction, inattention, aloofness
which his spirit had built around itself
lefensively from the shocks of the world,
rs snail builds its tough sheath. Alb
.uptly he saw quite anew this gracious fig
ire beside him-always Heretofore taken
'or granted, like the air and sunshine. He
sat down without knowing exactly what
ne did, and stared at her.
eWhy. Ruth, couldn't get along with
out you,' he said. aYou mustn't expect
ne to. You can see I need you more than
else possibly can.' He smiled
'aintly. Somebody must hold the horses
'or me- 1t rust be you.
She cut in quickly, her voice vibrant
with emotion:
