Janet's mind was of the sort that seeks simple solutions. Like most wo-
 men, she was guided to a great extent by emotions, munitions, instincts. She "felt things" And so strong were l these feelings that they served her in the place of logic: often in the place of analysis. In other words, she had the feminine trait of living in the ! moment. Things WE'RE, to Janet, largely what they SEEMED to be. She didn't stop to consider what they had been in the past, or were likely to be again in the future.
 She therefore did not see deeply in 1 to the workings of Roy Nicoll's mind. Not that Nicoll's mind was a hatchery of deep, dark plots. But it was a l mind that worked more completely than Janet's. It was not always di- rect. If Nicoll desired to buy another mans business, he did not always go 1 to. that man and make him an offer. He approached the man by rounda- about route. He worked upon him 1 subtiy, allowing hints to reach him, seeing that rumors of a decline in bus l mess came to his ear, etc. He studied I the man and was guided by his type. So it was in the case of Janet SteG- man. Roy Nicoll desired Janet Sted- l man sufficiently to marry her, al 1 though he detested marriage as a , form of spiritual imprisonment. Hay ] ing made a few attempts at the coars- 1 CT expressions of admiration and had ] his belief confirmed that she was not 1 a woman to be won by direct attack. l he now laid a careful campaign, based 1 as in his business methods, on the l type of person he had to deal with. No man could be more charming ! in more ways than could Nicoll when l he bestirred himself. He had an un- l erring instinct for taking the right l course, which amounted to absolute l artistry. A touch of it was shown in | his prompt calling up of Walt Sted- man as soon as Nicol1 reached the l city, to tell him his wife was comfort 1 ably located for a day or two, and l likely to make big hit with the wo-
 mems convention" from all appear l ances.
 { The message was charged with just 1 the right amount of enthusiasm; ex-
 actly the proper proportion of per- 1 sonal solicitude for Waits own work, which Roy made it his business to l keep posted on; the wise flavor of

Why He Went Blind
BY RUTH CAMERON

Something was said about Milton s blindness the other night and the Man Who Thinks contributed the in teresting information that it was caused by his persistence in writing the Defense of the People, a poli- ticaI document The doctors told him, said the Man-Who-Thinks, that he would lose his sight if he went on with the work at that time, but he thought it was his duty to finish it for the sake of the people. And so he finished it and went blind.
 Molly, the little Stenographer- Lady, heaved an estatic sigh. Wasn't that terrible, but wasn't it splendid 9" she said.
 How Such Things Thrill You.
 "It's wonderful how the thought of men living up to their convictions like that can thrill you, even when it all happened two or three centuries ago" said the Who Thinks

 "Mr Cosgrove. is there an attorney9 anywhere in the county who can get3 here by auto in record time if hen doesn't have to consider expense? ?"
 "Not a Man,,
 MT Cosgrove moved to the tele-ss phone, took down the receiver and gave a number to the operator.
 Jack Lewis can be here in 20 min-@ utes if he's at home," he said over hiss shoulder. M

But an instant'g reflection convinced mesthat the nHM was bluffing, that he was simply type of the Insect authority of Mark Twain's unforgettable phrase.
 You'll get there before noon," in-d terposed MT. Cosgrove, after a briefs coloquy with the man at the other end of the telephone wire. "Jack Lewis is coming right away in his de-s pendable old flivver, and he'll whisk you all over there in no time. Better leave your roadster here, Drake, go over With Lewis, and then come back here for dinner We're going to haves some fine young ducks, baked afte8s one of Mrs. Cosgrove's pet recipesHs
 The su'ler look of th warted authori-s ty faded from the warden's face. He grinned sheepishly.
 Cant resist that com mbination," he said. "But I won't leave the roadster bere You come along over with me, and Lewis can bring these folks.''
 "Now you've said it!'' MT Cos- grove returned jovially, skipping the ether man on the back. I'll be glads to go over. I want to find out whQs the lad is that's been circulating lies like this around,'' l

And We spoke of other things. But I for one, felt as if something mean and ugly had come into view in a very beautiful landscape
 Why Some People Sec Mean Motives,
 What a terrible thing it is to always see mud in humanity, and what a self-revelation!
 Mean minds look for mean motives because they cannot comprehend fine motives.
 To show by always being on the lookout for the less commendabl ble motive that you do not believe in high motives is to show that you have not found the one person with whom you are best acquainted capable of acting upon them.
 I leave you to guess who that per- son is.
 With My Letter Friends. Sometime ago young lady who : signed herself M. P. asked me for ad- vice. l was to write to General De- livery. I wrote her a, long letter which was returned Unclaimed" If she will send me her real address I will be glad to send it to her again.
 Question-Could you tell me through your column where the say ing "Cleanlincss is next to Godliness' . originated.
 Answer. In a sermon on dress John Wesley said: Certainly this is a duty not sin. Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness." He may have been quoting from Bacon who said "Cleanliness of body was ever dis covered to proceed from a due rever- ence to God.'

What Happened When the Warden
 Came,

Dismay, chagrin, terror, all these swept over me in rapid succession as I listened to the fish warden declare his intention of arresting Dicky and me for violating the state fish and game laws by trouting out of season.
 I knew that MT. Cosgrove had pur- posely delayed the man in the hall and talked of the matter in loud tones to give us a warning of what was com ing, but even that preparation did not still the trembling of my limbs, nor enable me to whip any color into my face. To think that I, with my life- long reverence for the law, should face arrest!
 must have been an abject looking object, indeed, for Dicky, as he heard MT. Cosgrove's words. took one swift warm hands to my cold ones, gripped them protectingly, possessively, and then swung me behind him, releasing his right hand, but holding me in his left as he faced the warden.
 I'm sorry. MT. Graham" MT. Cos grove said, as he entered the room with the warden, while the two young men, our fellow-b w-boarders, scuttled out of the living room and up to their own chambers, 'this is our fish war den, MT. Drake, and he seems to think you've been casting for trout. l told him he was mistaken, but he's per sistent sort of cuss, always ha to have the last word."
 "sorry to trouble you," Mr. Drake said perfunctorily, but the cynical gleam of his eyes belied his words. 1T have warrants here for you and your wife I suppose the lady behind you is Mrs Graham. You won't do her any good by standing In front of her. I have to serve my warrant on her, and I certainly can't do it through you."
 q Wish You Joy"
 "Just leave Mrs. Graham out of it if you'll be so kind,'' Dicky retorted hotly. "I'll answer for her appear ance of any fine that she may have to pay, if it goes that far. It surely isn't necessary to trouble her now, and, besides, as my friend MT. Cos grove informed you, you are barking up the wrong tree. You can have no possible proof that we have been breaking the fish laws"
 Don't take things so much for granted, young fellow. you'll live longer drawled the warden in a tone that I knew must irritate Dicky almost to the breaking point. AS it happens, we have the evidence of very re- spectable person who saw you both catching trout, and says you are old offenders at it, so you both just put on your things and come along with me-"
 T wish you joy of your unknown in forrnant," Dicky said coolly. "He has given you choice collection of mis- information which I am afraid you

THEO'S LAST FLIGHT
 TONIGHT AT KEENEYS

Theo, the Balloon Girl. who has created a sensation during the week by her novel ascensions in the Keeney theater, will make her last New Brit ain flight tonight when she closes her local engagement. Theo has one of the prettiest and most novel acts seen here in many months and she has been in a large measure responsible for the regular appearance of the IS. R. O." sign during the week. The two young men singers who are as- sociated with her are entitled to con- siderable credit for the success of the act. They contribute a pleasing pro- gram of popular songs and the au- dience likes them.
 Selmo, the contortionist, twists his body into almost every shape con- ceivable. He works like a boneless wonder and accomplishes tricks that seem impossible.
 Armstrong and his banjo also find place in the affections of the Keeney patrons. This talented musi- clan fairly makes the banjo talk. He also plays pleasingly on number of other instruments.
 The Lasky feature, 'The Golden Chance will be shown this evening for the last time. It is a great pho- toplay and we'll worth seeing.
 The next big film attraction is scheduled for the week of January 22 when the sensational photoplay fea- ture, War Brides will be shown. Nazimo ova and 8 great company are cast in this wonderful film.

1t was year in which twice every
power of the German war machine was
twice concentrated-and unavailingly.
Verdun survived despite all Germany
could do. So did the Chemin Des Danes.
France bore both these shocks.
The year has likewise witnessed the
practical abandonment of one of the
weapons which three years ago Germany
boasted would win her the war-the
Zeppelin dirigible. In her "baby kill
ing" expeditions over England now,
Germany uses aeroplanes. The Zepeplins
proved too unwieldly.
In the year just passed, hunger was
enlisted as war weapon by both sides.
1t was to "starye England out" that
Germany invoked the submarine piracy.
It was to draw closer the blockade ar
ound the Central Powers that America
soon after he's entrance into the strife,
adopted stringent plans to prevent her
foodstuffs reaching the enemy.
