OF mornings that had broken life in
two. Some of its phrases, conned
over and over again in his struggle
with the half-forgotten idiom, came
back to him. LA parole est du temps,
lie silence de l'eternite." He smiled to
himself at the twisted meaning the
long silence of his companions gave to
the words.
Then the smile left his face. He re-
membered the argument. The instinct
we all have for superhuman truths
tells us that it is dangerous to be si-
lent with those we would keep at q
distance, for words pass and are for
gotten between men, but silence-ac-
tive silence-is forever ineffaceable.
True life-the moments of life that
leave trace-is made up of silence.
Not passive silence; that is but anoth-
er name for sleep. But the active ST.
lence that breaks down barriers.

cry day into life where all is in
tense, where there is no ban-nothing
forbidden-where laughter dare not
enter, where subjectlon is submerged
and where all-all. Is remembered
Gerry felt that this active silence
had come upon them. These men were
being borne into the silent sphere of
his own soul. He felt restless-afraid.
He decided to speak. He was on the
point of spcaki"~ "hcn Lieber let

down his chair softly, clasped his
hands and broke the silence.
Last night I dreamed I heard the
blast of steamers horn and when
woke up the cold sweat was on my
forehead because I know that there is
no desert, no wilderness, so far from
the things you would forget that
dreams cannot follow you to it."
He stopped and silence fell upon
them again. Lieber stared straight in
front of him, out into the night His
face worked as though he We're strug-
Cling to keep his lips closed. When he
began to speak again, the words were
scarcely audible. 81 don't know why

OF life suddenly became big and hate

That dry season saw the beginning
of a drought that will long hold the
blacklist page in the annals of the San
Francisco basin. It seemed but days
after the rains when the sparse grass
and new-leafed bushes of the wilder
ness began to shrivel up. Day after
day the sun leaped brazen, from the
horizon to the sky, his first level rays
searching out the scant, stored mois-
ture of whiting foliage, and the very
sap of the hardy brush. While the cat
tie were still fat they became weak
and turned to cactus for nourishment
They broke down the sickly branches
with their horns and rubbed them in
the sand to free them of the worst Of
the th0rns. Herders rode the rounds
on weakening horses and dismounted
time and again to pull out spines from
the snouts of passive, painting cows.
Bulls died of broken pride. They
would not subject themselves TO the
pain of eating cactus. The river-the
great river-was no longer great. 1t
grumbled with a weak voice from deep
down in the gorge. Gerry watched its
falling level with anxious eye and one
day sent an urgent call to Lieber for
help.
Lieber came. He brought with him
an army, every man bearing with him
the tool that had come soonest to his
hand. Spades were few and hoes; the
bright shares of pick or two caught
the light like lances. Most of the men
depended on the heavy sheath knives
they carried at their sides. They
looked like an army of sansculottes
as they swarmed into the ditch and
began to dig. In two days they had
sunk 1t to the required level. When
they finished Gerry rode back with
them to help bring down Liebers
weakening stock.
Kemp had stayed in sole possession
at Lieber's. Digging was not in his
line, so he had volunteered to hold the
fort against the return Of the garri-
son. He welcomed Leber and Gerry
to supper of his own making in APP
proved cowboy style: sour-dough bis
cults made by a master hand, steaks
cut from n freshly killed calf and fried

creamy mashed spuds. There was a
LONELINESS about the meal that made
them eat in silence. They felt as
though for years tlsey had been wor-
Shipping false culinary gods. The pile
of steaks. the heaped potatoes, the hot
biscuit, were exotlcs, strayed into
land of pepper sauces and garlic. The
supper seemed to heNthree men to
take on a personality and to be i'll at
ease, but 1t was they that were Ill at
ease for the supper reminded them
that they were exiles.
The silence on the veranda that
night was even longer than usual. Ger
ry's mind went back to a French book
that he had bought in desperation at
Pernambuco. He had ploughed through
half of it and with a catch in his
thoughts he remembered that it lay
open on the table when he left his lit
tie room in Piranhas on the morning

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
A Little Harmless Gossip

/ q woman.
Mrs Y is walking up the avenue
and meets Mr.. 2. He suggests they
lunch together instead of each hav-
/ ing a lonely meal. Harmless enough
but Mr.. Y is in a far Instant city
and Mrs z is in the country for the
summer. And a little harmless gos-
/ sip" so magnified the event of the
| luncheon that it grows from "a harm
| less indiscretion" to an outrageous
Haunting of a shameful infatuation." "
And it actually brings about divorce
in one family and a life clouded by
suspicion for the other.
1t is exactly this type of thing that
"a little harmless gossip" causes.
l wonder why so few of us remem-
Der that the way we interpret other
peoples actions has to be based on
/ self knowledge. If we know each IN
our own soul that seemingly inno-
cent thing would mean ignoble pur-
! pose in our own case naturally we
must conclude that it means the same
! in another case.
Each of us takes ourself as the
standard of measurement. Each of
us interprets other peoples actions
in terms of what we would mean If
we did the same thing. Each of us
must look at life through his own
eyes. A little thought and every one
Of us viii grant the truth Of this
statement.
Then here is the thought that
ought to make us all tremble at the
( thought of gossip. II we sneeringly
and suggestively comment on the ac-
tion Of another we are only confessng
that in like case we would not be act
ing dcCently and disinterestedly.
So against gossip there are three
great arguments: In talking about
people we acknowledge ourselves too
stupid to conceive of life impersonally
in terms of things and ideas, we do
irreparable harm to innocent people;
and by malicious Interpretation of
simple acts we confess ourselves prac-
tically incapable of acting with sim
pie decency.

Boys are sure to like this overcoat.
Whether it is made plain and without
the pockets, or with a yoke and applied
box-plaits, it is essentially boy-liLe in cut
and in style, it is thoroughly comfortable
and has every condition to commend it.
On the figure, it is made from one of
the new plaid cloths, with the patch
pockets arranged above and below the
belt. In the small view, it is made of
plain material, with the yoke and applied

quite different, yet the one pattern suf-

I. BRIEF FILED IN
OPPOSITION TO BRANDEIs
Asserts That He Has Violated Ethics
of American Bar Association.

Washington, March 2S.-Counsel for
the opposition to confirmation of Louis
.. Brandeis as an associate justice of
with the senate judiciary sub-commit-
ee asserting they had proved that Mr..
Brandeis had violated the canons of
professional ethics of the. American
Bar Association, had made false and
misleading statements, had been guilty
of duplicity in the performance of his
professional duties, had represented in
isrests opposed to the public welfare
and had been guilty Of sharp practices.
The subcommittee probably will vote
Saturday on it's report,
The attorneys who signed the brief,
which purports to summarize the 1900
pages of testimony heard by the COM
mittee, were Austen Fox and Kenneth
M. Spence of New York.
The standard of professional ethics
which they charge Mr.. Brandeis with
having violated is one which fcrbids
a lawyer in whom confidence has been
reposed by a client thereafter accept
ing employment from others in matters
adversely affecting any interest of the
client with respect to which the conf
dence had been reposed. The attorneys
say they proved Mr.. Brandeis violated
this canon by his conduct in the bank
ruptcy affairs of James T. Lennox, the
Warren will case, the United Shoe Ma
chinery company, Equitable Life AS
lurance society and the Gillette Safety
Razor company.

dor Gerard to inquire of Germany
whether any of its submarines torpe-
doed the British channel steamer Sus-
sex. upon which 25 American citizens
were travelling near the British coast,
or the British vessel Englishman
which went down with the loss of one

in failure and with heavy losses to the
Germans.

FEAR OF BEING FORCED
INTO WHITE SLAVERY
Caused Bessie Reimers of Cleveland
to Set Fire to Apartments.


Cleveland, Ohio, March 2S.-As a re-
suit of the confession of Bessie Rel
mers, 10, waitress, that driven by fear
she would be forced into white slav-
cry, she set fire to the Foster Apart
ments this morning, causing the death
of two persons and injury to eighteen,
the girl was arrested today on the
charge of manslaughter and arson.
George Hanson, waiter, 25, and
George Bauman, 26, were also arrested
