The CLOSED DOOR
Rv GEORGE ELMER COBB.

I had not friend in the city. had
not a dollar in my pocket. Everything
in the way Of honest employment had
failed me. That is how came to be
a burglar, or rather came near to be-
ing one. Let not the superman de-
spise me for this confession. My
theme will show how erratic is the
whirligig Of fate, how at the brink OF
temptation and sOrdid crime an in
stinct of innate sympathy came to a
wayward, erring one and redeemed him
at the crisis of destiny.
1t was by haphazard that I became
visitor to a den where thieves and
cracksmen congregated in their idle
moments. 1t was through curiosity,
watchfulness and keeping my ears
open that l gathered up a knowledge
Of the clever ways Of the crook, that
l realized how easy it was to make
enough at one big haul to start life
anew in some remote community, for
get the incident and acquire a new
plane for honest existence. All this
was a fallacy, for my deviation from
the path of rectitude would have sure
ly held me in the tolls that never let
free a criminal once started on the
downward path. In my case peculiar
circumstances operated to lead me
back to the path called Straight.
To my story: l had found in the
den one night a small, neat-lOOking
case someone had neglgently left
there, and when l got with it to my
own room l found it to contain
superb kit Of burglars tools. The
modern cracksman no longer carries
clumsy bag AS inspected the choice
collection Of jlmmies, picklocks and
skeleton keys, | COmprehended their
utility. l gratifed my vain thought of
expertness by prying my room window,
by locking and unlocking my room
door without a key. My attire was as
yet respectable. My face was not un-
prepossessing. The police would
scarcely suspect that l was other than
respectable clerk or professional
man. / started forth on my mission.
| had selected a superior-looking
apartment house as my point Of as
sault. It was three stories in height,
and the top floor was lark, so far as
could make out, and the presumption
was that its usual tenant was away
from home. / had no difficulty what
ever in turning the spring lock Of the
street door. A very simple skeleton
key did the business. 1t required a
little more ingenuity to use the nip
pers in turning the key In the door of
the top suite of rooms, but l made 1t.
l entered the darkened apartment war
| ily. | closed the door after me ana
stood still, the tool case in my hand,
listening intently. I was about to
advance, when I distinctly traced foot
steps behind the draperied doorway Of
the adjoining room. Then / was daz-
zled by a binding flash Of brllllancy.
The electric lights had been switched
on from the next room, the draperies
parted, man stepped into view.
"Ahw he spoke with quite a well
coming nod, as though expecting me,
"the doctor2 The door was unlocked2

managed to preserve my nerve and
composure. / sank to chair, compre-
hendlng that this man had sent for a
physician and mistook me for one.

Fable Of the SCOffer Who Fell
Hardandthe Woman SittingBY
By GEORGE ADE

By GEORGE ADE
Coopyrish, BY the Mcclure Newspaper syndlcats)

The latter went along, just out of
Politeness, but he was a good deal dis
appointed in his Friend. 1t certainly
did seem trifllng for a Huskie weighing
one hundred and eighty to pick on
something about the size Of a Robins
Egg.
Mr.. Pallzey played Gallery all around
the Course. He would stand behind
them at the Tee and smile in a most
arid and patronlzing Manner while
they sand-shuf1led and shifted and jig
gled and jOggled and went through the
whole calisthenic Ritual of ST. Yitus.
He was surprised to note how far
the Ball would speed when properly
spanked, but he thought there was no
valid excuse for Overrunning on the
Approaches.
Mr.. Pulizey found himself criticizlng
the Form of the Players. That should
have been his Cue to climb the Fence.
All of the Mashiemaniacs start on
the downward Path by making Mind
Plays and getting under Bogey.
Back on the sloping Sward between
No. IS and the Life-Saving Station, the
two Contestants were holding the usu-
al Post-Mortem.
LET me see that DewfiCker a min
ute" said Mr.. Pallzey, as he carelessly
extracted a Mid-Iron.
He sauntered up to the silly Globue
and took an unprecedented Swipe.
The Stroke rang sweet and vibrant.
The ball rose in parabolic Splendor
above the highest branches of a ven
cradle Elm.
Just as the Face of the Club started
on the Following-Through, the Bacil-
lus ran up and bit Mr.. Pallzey on the
Leg.
He saw the blinking White Spot far
out on the emerald Plain. He heard
the murmur of Admiration behind him.
He was sorry his Wife had not been
there to take it in.
"Leave me have another Ball." re-
Quested Mr.. Pallzey.
The Virus was working.
He backed up so as to get Running
Start.
"This tlme," quoth Mr.. Pallzey, .
will push it to Milwaukee"
Missing the Object of Attack by
scant six inches, he did Genee toe
spin and fell heavily with his Face
among the Dandelions.
The Host brushed him off and said
'Your Stance was wrong; your Tee
was too high; you raised the Left
Shoulder; you were too rapid on the
Come Back; the Grip was all in the
Left Hand; you looked up; you moved
your Head at the top Of the Stroke
you allowed the Left Knee to turn
and you stood ahead Of the Ball. 9th
erwiSe, 1t was a LOo-Loo."
"If come out next Sunday could
you borrow me Kit Of Tools?" asked
Mr.. Pallzey. He was twitchlng violent
ly and looking at the Ball as If it had
called him a Name. 81 got the first
one all right, and l thinB-"
So it was arranged that the poor
doomed Creature was to appear on the
following Sabbath and be equipped
with a set of Cast-offs and learn all
about the Mystery Of the Ages be-
tween II a. m. and p. m.
Mr.. Pallzey went away not knowing
that he was a Marked Man.
On Monday he told the Stenographer
how he stung the Ball the first time
up. He said he was naturally quick
at picking up any kind Of a Game. He
thought 1t would be Lark to get the
hang Of the Whole Business and then
get after some Of those Berties In the
White Pants. He figured that Golf
would be a Pipe for anyone who had
played Baseball when young.

VEND back around the Ears and
XENJ the usual Blood Pressure,
'pH& m was whizzing through a
eGA<lB suburban LOnesomeness on
a teetering Trolley. The name Of the
man was Mr.. Pallzey. He had desk
with q Concern that did merchandising
In a large way.
Mr. Pallzey feared Socialism and
carried his Wife's Picture In his Watch
and wore Piasters. In other words, ne
was Normal, believing nearly every
thing that appeared In the Papers,
While the DOg-Fennel was softly
brushing the Foot-Board and the Motor
was purring consistently beneath, Mr..
Pallzey looked over into ciOse-cropped
Pasture and became the alert Eye-Wit-
ness Of some very weird DOings,
He saw pop-eyed Person in soiled
Neglige, who made threatening move
ments toward something concealed In
the White Glover, with o Weapon re-
sembling the iron Dingus used in gOug-
ing the Clinkers from a Furnace.
"What is the plot of the Piece" he
inquired Of Grand Army man, sitting
next.
81 think" replied the Veteran, 81
think he is killing a Garter-Snake."
"Oh, no." spoke up the conversation
al Conductor. 'He is playing Golluf,"
giving the word the Terre Haute pro-
nunciatioR.
Mr.. Palizey looked with pity on the
poor Nut who was out In the Hot Sun,
getting himself all lathered up with
One-Man Skinny.
He said to G. A. r. that 1t took all
kinds of People to make a World. The
grizzled Warrior arose to an equal At
titude by remarking that If the dag
goned Loon had to do it for Living,
he'd think it was Work.
Mr.. Pallzey had heard Of the new
Diversion for the Idle Rich, just as
people out in the Country hear Of
MlTk-Sicslness or falling Meteors, both
well authenticated but never encoun-
tered.
While rummaglng through the Sport
ing Page he could come across cryp-
tic Reference to MacFearson Of Drum
tochtie being up and 2 to play on
Hargis Of Sunset Ho, whereupon he
would experience a sense Of Annoy
ance and do a quick Hurdle.
He had seen In various Show-Win-
dows the spindly Utensils and snowy
Pellets which, he had reason to be-
lieve, were affiliated In some way with
the sckening Fad. He would look at
them with extreme Contempt and rath-
er resent their communicating contigu-
ity to the Mask, the Shin-Guard, and
the upholstered Grabber.
Mr.. Paflzey believed that Golf was
played by the kind Of White Rabbits
who march in Suffrage Parades, wear
ing Gloves.
The dreaded Thing lay outside Of his
Orbit and beyond his Ken, the same as
Tatting or Biology. His conception of
keen and sporty game was Pin Pool
or Jacks Only with the Deuce running
wild.
One Sunday he was invited out to
Food Saturnalla at a Country-Place.
The Dinner was postponed until late in
the Day because they all dreaded 1t so
much.
Friend Host said he had a twosome
on at the Club and was trying out an
imported Ceek, so he invited Mr.. Pail
zey to be n Spectator.
II he had said that he was going up
IN Balloon to hemsttch a couple Of
Clouds, 1t would have sounded just as
plausible to Mr.. Pallzey Of the Whole
sale District.

Paul and Great Northern Decline.

CBy the International News servlee.)
New York, May 1A-Stocks closed strong
today after a session Of great Irregular
ity. but extremely dull The opening
was strong. so strong that professionals
were surprised. The Improvement, how
ever, served only to attract fresh liqui-
dation with the result that within an
hour or 50 several new low records had
been made. These records were in stand
ard issues as for instance st. Paul, and
Great Northern. both of which went
down to prices not equalled In 20 years
The closing rally was due entirely 10
short covering.
United States Steel was the strong fea-
ture OF the market throughout the ses-
sion. 1t really held the whole list steady
while cautions liquidation was indulged
IN elsewhere Bethlehem Steel. Repub-
lie and Gulf States Steel were other
strong features. The extra dividend on
the last named. which has been expected
for several months was finally declared
and was a disappointment, because II
was l per cent for the first half year,
whereas per cent had been expected.
But even this puts the stock on a 10
per cent basis.
So duh was the market that the street
had to invent stories to wake up the
market, and one Of the most absurd OF
these was that a member Of the National
ROuncll OF DeIenSe was DACh u enc 81

war began Buruch announced that so
long as connected directly or indirectly
with the government he would not buy

the use of his name makes II look as
IL a pool in Crucible has become des-
perate and is willing to do anything TO
unload Crucible shares were advanced
sharply and the whole market had the
appearance Of good team work among
brokers, pool managers and some puo-
hcity agents.
In the last hour Of trading the pools
tried to divert attention from Cruciole
by talking of favorable developments to
come from Russia. That Is all that can
save the market at this time for the IL
quidating movement is still unchecked.
