the cave in front of him, his mouth
working as if he were biting bits Of
vengeance off for future use.
Write thy letter, thou! Write thy
letter! Here is paper. There is a
pen-take it! Sit! Yonder is ink!
Write, now, write!'
King sat at box and waited, as if
to take dictation, but the mullah. tug
ging at his beard, grew furious.

So King began to write. in Urdu,
for reasons of his own. He had spok-
en- once or twice in Urdu to the null
lah and received no answer. At the
end of ten minutes he handed up
what he had written, and Muhammad
Amin made as if to read 1t, trying to
seem deliberate, and contriving to
look irresolute. 1t was a fair guess
that he hated to admit ignorance OF
the scholars language.
Are there any alterations you sug-
gest?" King asked him.
NAY, what care what the words
are? If she be not persuaded, the
worse for thee!"
He held it out, and as he took it

trived to seem ashamed Of his own

tured with Are and thorns--and her,

Now he had said that, or something
very like it, in the first letter. There
was no doubt left that the mullah was
trying to hide ignorance, as men of
that fanatic ambitious mold SO often

ment. If fanatics were all-wise, 1t
would be poor world for the rest.

Mr.. Stokowski has rarely shown so nice

Casuals of the Days Work
XVIII


TN THE passing of Philip Boileau those
/ of us who care particularly for the gentle
in art-whether in painting or musc-have
lost certain definitely defined friend. 1t
Is more than probable that his pictures had
a wider vogue than those of any other
illustrator of these days. There have been
more widely celebrated. but with the vast
distribution of the reproductions of his pic
lures there has been no man whose sheer
art has carried into far places so great a
feeling of genteness and sweetness. There
was and still is, n haunting quality about
the pictures he made which brings memory
of the delicacy of jasmine or or Niolets' But
it was his music which appealed most def
nitely. In 1t he had the spirit Of his beloved
Italy--transplanted to studio In New
York. There, with his friends about him,
he would sit for hours at his plano impro-
visng, smoking, talking, Jesting-some-
times in bathrobe and slippers-but always
with the air of the nobility which was his
by right
And he played TO us--melodies long for
gotten--and songs came-not as those of
the singer in concert-but the songs which
come unbidden from the deeper heart of
men who feel deeply and who say little.
He painted pictures of women and children
always with the haunting eyes and the
droop of lip--always the eternal woman and
child spirit-and in his music he showed
that delicacy a understanding that only
can come to such gentle souls as his.
Philip Boilleau may be remembered for
the pictures he has drawn for the covers
of enthusiastically the Saturday Eve
ming Post-but it Is through the spirit OF
them-the mere JOY they have given untold
thousands of people-that his influence lives
and will live.
Yet he will be remembered for his loyalt,

OUR AFFAIR. NOT THE ALLIES

YTNHE cause of America is not the cause
this nation is forced into war, it will not
be forced into "the" war. We will not be
concerned to restore Alsace-Lorraine to
France or to drive the Turk from Europe,
and never will be. The entangling aili-
ances which Washington warned against
are not to be entered into. Even in war
this nation would fight only for American
principles. The President in his address
to the Senate urged that all nations avoid
entangling alliances, and if that is our
desire for Europe it is infinitely more our
desire for America.
Somewhat the same position is taken
by Japan, which is nominally one of the
Allies and committed to make peace only
in accordance with their terms. But it
has not sent it's legions to the land bat.
ties. II has been content to maintain
what it deems to be japanese interests in
the Far East and in the eastern seas.
The proof that avoidance of entan-
Cling alliances is not only our traditional
but also our present policy lies in the
patent fact that If Germany now aban-
dons ruthless sea warfare there will be no
possibility of America being involved in a
! war. If we are to be at war, that war
will cease when our rights are again re.
spected and when what reparation may
be demanded by us. and not by others,
