cal people to the flar. Their ways of
speech, their views Jared upon Les
ter, and he made no attempt to con-
ceal his dislike for them. Angry re-
ordinations followed. Finally Rae
announced her decision to go back to
the stage. Lester forbade it.
For the first time since their mar
riage he realized how greatly the fault
had been his own. He had done moth
Ing to accustom his wife to her
new life, while he had denied
her her own. He spent the better
part of week searching for her.
Finally he was driven to admit that
she had carried out her threat; she
had gone with the intention of never
His obstinacy aroused, he went back
to his parents arms. 1t was not long
before the insdiOus suggestions OF
q divorce, coupled with the eager well

q man who had made Il fool of himself,
but had repented, worked upon Les
ter. He sued his wife for divorce on
the ground of abandonment. The
case was not contested; Lester
thought Rae was ignorant of it.

aii, levy tribute and dispense bounty
like real king. and get away with it
for so years? Yet that Is what the
celebrated FOUNDER" Beau Nash did
at Bath, the Hot Springs of England,
in the days when England was suffer-
ing from the early Georges, the South
Sea bubble and other foreign afilic-
tions in the first half of the eighteenth
century There must have been some
quality in man that could do the
things Nash did. Success doesn't sue
ceed for any length Of time unless
there are reasons or conditions that
support it.
In the first place, whatever else
Richard Nash was, he was no beau.
A good dresser he very emphatically
was not. Beau Brummel laid down
the dictum that man who would be
well dressed should so dress as to
attract no attention. Beau Nash's idea
was just the reverse of this. He
dressed to advertise himself; he want
ed his devoteeS at Bath to turn and
look. He discovered the virtues of the
hat as stimulator Of curiosity, and
early adopted a big white one Of
peculiar style as his official headgear.
He was a "tawdry" dresser, says Gold
smith. In the second place, he was
not a wit, although he set up for one.
His jests were very trough stuff" the
sort that hurt. Here's sample: A
lady who had very crooked figure
came to take the waters, and the
Beau greeted her thus:
"Whence do you come, madamf"
straight from London" replied the
dame.
"Egad," said Nash, winking at his
courtiers, "you appear to have warped
considerably on the way down."
And, in the third place, he was not
polite. For instance, he asked a lady
of quality to dance with him, and on
her declining the honor, Nash replied,
with some spirit:
'Why, dTn you, madam, what do
We come down here for? | must needs
believe ye have handy legs"

come my wife as the first step, and
after that-well, guess you'll be able

The girl hesitated, and the fight
was won. She loved Lester, and at
twenty-four love seems the most pre-
cious thing in the world. Before they
parted at her door that evening she
had promised to marry him.
Even in the intoXication Of his hap
piness the young man felt the difficulty
Of making a satisfactory explanation

and revolt have come thick and last
from the southern districts.
Yuan had expected 20 proclaim the
monarchy and ascend the throne before
the beginning Of the new year. When
the time came, however, X vas an

postponed indefinitely. and unoffcially
IL was stated that there would be 10
change m the government until the
war was ended. Il was understood
that the prospect Of having China
barred by the Allies from the peace
negotiations. in which the final dispo
sitiou Of Kiao-Chau will be determined,
was an important factor in influencing
the postponement.
Since Yuan dissolved the Assembly

BEECHER, IN COURT,
ACCUSES FERGUSON
HilliS's Opponent Gets More
Time to File Accounting.

Justice Scuddcr, IN the Supreme
Court Of Brooklyn, yesterday allowed
Frank /. Ferguson fifteen days more
in which TO file mis- accounting Of bust
ness transactions for the Rev. Dr..
Newell Dwight Hills, pastor Of Plym-
outh Church. An argument took place
IN court between Colonel William c..
Beecher and Mr. Ferguson.
In the course Of the dispute Colonel
Beecher threatened 20 send Ferguson
before the grand jury. and Mr.. Fergu-
son replied that he was not afraid OF
the colonel. The battle Of words con-
tinued in the hall outside the court
room.
Insisting that he had thousands Of
vouchers TO verify and check up and
that the work was only half completed,
Mr.. Ferguson asked more time. Colo
mel Beecher said that the former presi-
dent Of the board Of trustees of the
church had already handed in one
memorandum Of account, although that
memorandum had been objected TO as
false by Or. Hills. and he opposed the
motion. The colonel then charged Mr..
Ferguson with fabricsting and falsify-
ing the account.
Colonel Beecher sad: We believe
this man has stolen thousands Of dol
lars. and We believe that he wants time
for any purpose than to make true
accounting
In granting the motion for an extern
sion Of time. Justice Scudder said: at
seems that the accounting Mr.. Fergu-
son gave was rejected because II did
not suit. Therefore I should say that
he ought 10 have time to prepare an
accounting that will be suitable for the
court. The extension is granted
After the judges decision Colonel
Beecher gathered his papers and fol
lowed Mr. Ferguson into the hall. Com
ing face to face with Mr.. Ferguson.
Colonel Beecher said: you'll get your
DAY in court But be careful VIC don't
bring you before the grand jury Mr..
Ferguson again repeated that he was
not afraid of the colonel.
