observed 4 lady standing. Tie moved 10

him, breaking the %lattcr'S eve gla,~e, w

magistrates court. ~ which Mr.. Schwartz
WIS fined -. and a newspaper story of
the event headed Ills Etiquette Cost Him
So
Funny. isn't IT.. how differently people
IN different sections view that sort of
thing! N that incident had happened i'll
Tcxa~. for instance. Mr.. Schwartz would
not have been fined. on the contrary. the
other fellow would have been informed hy
the magistrate that ~ had gotten off
chcaply with mo- worse than n broken eve
glass. And the city new~ editor would
not have allowed that head to 20 into his
paper either. for IN Texas We would call
Mr.. Schwartz kindness in making room

"a hurtiing down the steep bank 10
thy railroad tracks.
They were stiIl battling when the
engine roared past. The trainmau,
leaning out Of his window. stared up
nd them in amazeIncnt. They We're
sin struggling when the last coach
flashed past.
Ii was only then, when her weapon
of suicide was zone from her reach,
that Lois gave up the fight. She fell
~ the ground weeping. She was more
afraid " facing life than death. and
She sobbed with terror il not with re-
morse.
Gloria knclt hy her. begging her not
tu cry. AN last She offered the final
bride IN her power. she drew the en-
vcIope of letters from the bosom Of
her gOwn and held II ont 10 Lois. say
ing:
Il forgive you. dear. | nave no
right Ia Judge YOU. | can't take that
responsibility. Keep your life and your
past and make what YOU will III them"
Lois rather saw the prize than heard
the counsel ami She snatched al the
letters with the instinct Of a child.
Gloria felt her heart harden again.
She could not keep back a feeling of
contempt for the selfish pettiness Of
Lois.
Glcria was afraid ~ speak lest she
waste further rchUkeS ON q soul thar
could not profit ~ any other chaStiSc-
ment than sacrifice and fear. So Gloria
left her and climbed the terraces. She
noted with relief that no one had seen
the brief drama that might have star
tied the whole nation. She was afraid
that she had done everything she
ought not 10 have done.
As she was entering the house ~ 20
~ her room the boy StaS called her.
lie was Juggling Il picture book of for
eign paintings. He knew nothing OF
any Of them and he asked Gloria many
questions she could not answer. One
of the pictures represented Christ
kneeling and writing on the ground.
Near him lay a contrite woman in
shame and tears. In the background
u number Of men were turning away
shamefaced. The picture was labeled.
Neither DO / Condemn Thee, Go and
Sin No More"
Now, Gloria felt that she was justi-
fled in laying aside her impulse TO X
net Il penalty from Lois. She told Stas
that the picture WAS beyond the IN.
~hcrstanding of a child. and that he
was lucky To be n child. She wished
that she had never grONn up. Then.
She went Ia her room. Looking from
her window. She could see the embank-
ment where she had won a double vic
Tory over LoiS and herself. Lois was
tearing the bundle OF letters 10 bits
and scattering the pieces upon the
railroad track, where she had nearly
becn torn u pieces herself.

When Lois finished her story and
told Of Freneau's plan to elope with
her. Gloria's heart was hard as marble.
Lois made her ina plea:
II have sinned. but 1 have atoned.
and David trusts me. Give me back
the letters and LET our lives 20 on in
peace"
Gloria looked ut her In wonder, and
sneered:
You don't ask MEh OF life, do you?
You have the love of two men bring
one to death and one perhaps to crime.
and then you say Don't let ans harm
befall me-. / must keep everything 7.
You act "A little too much. Lois"
Lois stared at her In Amusement.
You don't mean that you are going
10 tell David what / have told your"
"YeS."
And wreck our lives together?"
THAT il for him 10 decide. He
shall have the truth, and then he can
do what he p~leases."
You will give him the letters?"
Gloria nodded grimly. Lois stood
wavering In despair. The silence was.
pierced by the distant cry Of a locomo-
tive's whistle. An express train was
coming round ii far-off curve. II would
sweep down the tracks that ran al the
foot Of the Stafford estate, along the
edge Of the river.
Lois hardened a moment. then the
engine ShrIeked again She made her
wild decision.
Give him the letters, then. II won't
matter to me"
She turned and ran down the long
terraces sloping 10 the embankment
that hid the trains from view. Gloria
had often paused on the edge Of IL to
watch he train rush terribly past. She
understood Lois full purpose. What
ever and whOSes1ever the guilt. there
had been tragedies enough. Lois must
not die.
She ran after her calling. calling.
But Lois was FAR ahead of her and the
train was rushing with terrible speed
to the mccti.

The War Map.

1t has been said that if the war
were settled by a peace based on to-
days war map the Germans would
gain immensely. A French authority
takes exception to this view. He points
out that if Germany We're granted the
territory she has seized, she would
hold Belgium, Serbia, Poland, the sew
en- northern departments of France
and probably Monrenegro-a total
area of 800, 400 square kilOmeters. The
allies on the other hand have taken
from Germany Togoland, Kamerun,
German Southwest Africa German
East Africa, the Bismarck Archipel-
ago, the Caroline islands, the German
islands of the Samoan group, Kiao
Chao, and territory in Galicia, Bu
kowina and Armenia, a total area Of
3,228,341 square kilometers, or ten
times as much territory as Germany's
seizures amount to. While the French
man is not in favor of any settlement
on the war map basis, he holds that
Germany could not afford such a set
tlement, because she cannot exist
without colonies.
