good taste In reading. He had made
money all his life, and he had come to
realize with bitterness how it newt
ably ate into their happiness.
Three years before Nita, tired of
their friends, had surrounded herself
with literary haEgers-on, including a
few embittered women who wrote
upon their wrongs and their seX's
wrongs for the press. Now all their
guests discussed things which he had
q vague idea even Il married woman
should know nothing about. And they
talked Of literature till his head
ached.
They despised him, the pack of
them, especially since Nita had at
tanned fame with her first novel,
'Woman or ManW Ten thousand cop
les had been sold, and the press had
published extensive criticisms about it.
1.-THE Sentinel of Lone Peak" his
wifes latest, was not a romance, as
the name might imply. The sentinel
was woman and Lone Peak was the
position OF the lonely woman (Nita),
too advanced for her age, and misun-
derstood, also bound down by domes-
tic ties.
George was spoken of as "Mrs.
Latham's husband" He was an out
cast in their own home. Long haired
poets trampled upon him, metaphor
ically speaking and made love to Nita
under guisc of sympathy.
There was worse than that. Nita
had grown tired of him. She had
limited at divorce. She said that she
wanted to find her soul.
The quarrel was renewed on success
sive days. 1t was the old story of the
drudging husband and the brilliant
wife. Mia knew that she must take
the step-he never would.
"You ought to leave that man. He's
just dragging you down." said Miss
Tasseler, author Of "The Conquerlng
SeXW Il delicate satire which some
had pronounced indicate. "Come
with me to the lecture tonight, by Mil
dred Burns. She has been married
five times, you know, and she says
there's no possibility Of real woman
living happily with man. 1t will
open your eyes"
Mia went. George stayed ut home,
smoking, and dreaming of the things
Mia had refused to like. He didn't
want literature In his home he wanted
pair of childish arms about his neck.
The lecture had been advertised eX-
tenslvely, and TO the disgust of Miss
Tasscler, the back seats were filled
with motley crew who had come to
scott. They were not ut the rear, eX.

Too Much for Baggage Master

The day was hot when q small Pole
came into Jersey City baggage-room
and asked for job. Not looking strong
enough for heavy lifting, he was turn
ed down without ceremony, and went
away bewailing his fate and the fact
that he and his race were downtrodden
and oppressed. Next morning a two
UNDERGROUND six-footer of the same
nationality numbered into the office,
asking for trunks to handle, and was
turned over to the baggage master.
Approaching this dignitary, he gave
smiling information: II wan job here.

"Yep. What's yer name"
The big fellow smiled with conf

The "boss," himself a red-headed

"You'll stand more show o. landin'

The big head was shaken, with a
negative grin. "My cousin come yes

actly, but behind the elite, and the
seats about them were filled with the
souliess crowd, who passed audible re-
marks about the lecturer and the COM
pany.
Presently, to her intense Indignation,
two fat men in the seat behind began
talking of Nita.
"That's the woman, sitting in front
of u.s." said one, in a loud whisper,
which Nita heard perfectly. "She
writes, you know, and leaves her hus-
band to stay home and nurse the ba-
bies."
81 guess there aren't any," said the
other fat man. "That sort of woman
won't raise 'em. Say, that husband of
hers is miles too good for her, any
way"
Mia wanted to turn round and glare,
but an Unsuitable curiosity held her
silent and motionless.
"Shes just fake" said the fat
man. do you know what her hus-
band does? Buys all her books, by
heck! Pays for their publication, has
an enormous edition brought out, and
hires the critics to write puffs about
them"
Lord, I'd send her to the dishes
with flea in her earl" said the other
fat man. "How do you known
"Her publisher told me. Anyway,
it's an open secret. Banks said he hest
tated to bring out her latest book, The
Sentinel of Lone Peak Said it was the
worst rubbish he had ever read, and
that to publish 1t meant the literary
disgrace of his firm. He made George
Latham come across stiftly, l hear.
Made him put up the price of twenty
thousand copies"
Lord, amt he fool !" muttered the
other. "What's that woman saying
about influencing men? The only way
to influence men is to feed the
brutes."
Nita sat Mortified In her seat. She
glanced at Miss Tasseler, but that lady
was leaning forward, intent upon Mil
dred Burns speech, and had not heard
a word of the dialogue behind them.
Nita felt sense of disgust thrill
her. SO that was what the covert sar-
casm of the criticism had meant
George had put up the money, and the
publishing world was laughing at her
George, staying at home, had effaced
himself, to become the husband of a
celebrity whom he himself had made !!
The tears came into her eyes; and
at that moment the real soul of Mia
Latham was born.
She slipped out of her seat. I'm
going home," she whispered. Il don't
feel we'll"
"She certainly is overpowering," an
swered Miss Tasseler.
Mia hurried home. As she neared
the apartment house she realized, with
a deeper pang, that she had never
made George home. This was not
the sort of home she had contemplated
when she walked out of the church
beside him.
She opened the door and ran sobbing
INTO the living room. Sle kneeleu De-

he muttered. "Your stuff's too good
for 'em, my dear, that's the trouble"

as am" answered Nita, penitently.
"It's you who are too good for me.
Forgive me, my husband, and let me

"Why, Mia" he protested.

And George saw his dream suddenly

The days of another year are mum
bered ana a new year is about 10 greet
us. The year that is passing has been
one Of peace, plenty and prosperity for
this country. While crops have been
short compared with bumper" years
of the recent past, there has been a
plenty to feed our population ana some
TO spare for less fortunate lands. Inc
money value OF this years crops has
been fully 81, 7j0,ODO,o0O more than the
value of the same crops last year, rms
has spelled prosperity for the farmer;
prosperity which happily has been
shared by the majority OF other class
es. There has been little suffering
among our people. Work has been
plentiful aud wages nigh. Business
has doomed as never before. The gold
Of Europe has poured into our Golfers
and the gold Of America has circulated
freely. There has been plenty OF mon
ey on easy terms for needs of growing
business and the rural credits Iegisla-
tion has lifted the burden Of inadequate
credit facilities from the shoulders OF
the great agricultural class. The gov
eminent OF our country continues IN
safe hands The people have voted
their approval of the policies, foreign
and domestic, which have kept US at
peace while Europe was at war,
Such rosy picture Of the year that
is passing Of course cannot be painted
for the Old World. Europe has CON
tinued TO be drenchcd in blood. The
waste, want and woe Of war are still
desolating fourteen great or lesser ma
lions. The pinch Of hunger is being
felt in all oftnem Even England, with
its mastery Of the sea, has been obIig
ed TO undertake government supefyI'
sion Of the tables Of the people After
another year Of hard lighting and the
sacrifice OF probably millions OF addl-
touai lives, victory for either side OF
the great war still seems as elusive and
distant as ever. The year mat is clos
in has witnessed shakeups in OId
World cabinets, muttefngs OF reyolu.
tions and various mantle stations Of dis
satisfaction Of the people that does not
bode well for rulers and others in high

What Of the future? None OF course
can tell. But may we not hope that
the new year will usher in the dawn
Of better day-'hat the close OF 1911
will have witnessed the restoration OF
peace in Europe and the work we'll I'M
