'Entirely So" I nodded, With a truly

Then she would know that he had

She could read him like Barometer.
IF he and Mr.. Hilgus, the Real Estate
Man, came home together fifteen feet
apart, stepping high and looking
straight ahead, she would know it had
been a Jolly Day on the Links.
BY the second summer Mr.. Pallzey
had worked up until he was allowed to
use a Shower Bath once hallOwed by
the presence Of Jerome Travers.
He was not exactly q Duffer. He
was what you might call a sub-Duffer,

School. The tender Cadet nursed MIN
along to an even-up at the Punch-Bowl
and then proceeded to smear Ills VITAL

That evening Mr.. Pallzey told Mrs.
Pallzey she would have to cut down
on Household Expenses.
Six years after he gave up the busl-
ness Career and consecrated hlmself TO
something more Important, Mr.. Pallzey
had so we'll mastered the battling 1ntrl-

who mooches around Country CluD

Fourteen years after Mr.. Pallzey
threw himself into it, Heart and Soul,
and when the Expenses approximated
100000, he earned his Halo.
One evening he came back to his
hacgard Companion chortling infant

looked like an Eye-Cup with Handles

He said it was a Trophy. 1t was

After that their Daily Life revolved

Mrs. Pallzey had to use Metal Polish

THE CLOSED DOOR
BY GEORGE ELMER COBB.

I had not a friend in the city. had
not dollar in my pocket. Everything
in the way of honest employment had
failed me. That is how I came to be
burglar, or rather came near to be-
ing one. Let not the superman de-
spise me for this confession. Ny
theme will show how cratic is the
whirligig Of fate, how at the brink OF
temptation and sordid crime an in
stinct of innate sympathy came to a
hayward, erring one and redeemed him
at the crisis Of destiny.
It 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 I gathered up a knowledge
of the clever ways of the crook, that
T 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: I had found in the
den one night small, neat-loOking
case someone had negligently left
there, and when got with it to my
own room I found it to contain a
superb kit Of burglars tools. The
modern craftsman no longer carries
clumsy bag. AS inspected the choice
collection Of jimmies, picklocks and
skeleton keys, I comprehended their
utility. I gratified my vain thought Of
experiences by prying my room window,
by locking and unlocking my room
door without key. My attire was as
yet respectable. My face was not I'M
prepossessing. The police would
scarcely suspect that was other than
a respectable clerk or professional
man. I started forth on my mission.
I had selected a superior-looking
apartment house as my point of as
sault. 1t was three stories in height,
and the top floor was dark, so far as
I could make out, and the presumption
was that its usual tenant was away
from home. I had no difficulty what
ever in turning the spring lock of the
street door. A very simple skeleton
key did the business. It required a
little more ingenuity to use the nip
pers in turning the key in the door OF
the top suite of rooms, but made it.
I entered the darkened apartment war
lily. I closed the door after me and
stood still, the tool case in my hand,
listening intently. I was about to
advance, when distinctly traced foot
steps behind the draperied doorway of
the adjoining room. Then I was daz-
zled by binding flash of brilliancy.
The electric lights had been switched
on from the next room, the draperies
parted, q man stepped into view.
"Ah!" he spoke, with quite well
coming nod, as though expecting me,
''the doctor? The door was unlocked?
I did not know it. Be seated, please"
I was quite taken unawares, but l
managed to preserve my nerve and
composure. I sank to chair, compre-
hending that this man had sent for a
physician and mistook me for one.
My host had the most villainous face I

He still had good many supertluous
Hands and Feet and was bleeding free

Sometimes he would last as far as
the Water-Hazard and then sink with
a Bubbling Cry.
Notwithstanding which, he kept on
trying to look like the Photographs OF
Byers.
If he spun into the High Spinach of
at the Right it was Tough Luck. If he
whanged away with Niblick down in
a bottomless Pit, caromed on a couple
of Oaks, and finally angled off toward
the Cup, he would 60 around for Days

AS his Ambition increased his Men-

"WalIflower" Fighting Term.


If one man refers to fellow worker
as 'wallflower'' is it sufficient provo
cation to strike him?
This is the question that Justice
Packard in central police court at Bal
timore was called upon to settle when
Henry Katz, an official of the Midcity
garage, faced the magistrate on
charge of assault. The complainant
was Samuel G. Fernheimer, manager
of the supply department.
Fernheimer was walking through the
garage when he saw Katz standing a
short dis nee away.
IF there were not so many wallflow-
ers here, there would be more work
DONE" remarked Fernheimer to no one
in particular.
DO you mean me?' shouted Katz.
= IF the shoe fits you, wear it," retort-
ed the supply man.
Then the blow came.
Magistrate Packard thought the re-
mark was sufficient to justify the blow
and dismissed Katz.

became instantly excited. He hurried
from the house with the words:
"Sir, I fear to leave my daughter

AS learned later the man I had
met was the disowned husband of my

was returned to prison that night.
I never told the true story of my

The latter went along, just out Of
Politeness, but he was good deal dis
| appointed in his Friend. It certainly
did seem trifling for 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 most
| arid and patronizing Manner while
they sand-shuff1ed and shifted and jig
gled and joggled and went through the
whole calisthenic Ritual of st. Vitus.
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.. Pallzey found himself criticizing
the Form of the Players. That should
have been his Cue to climb the Fence.
All Of the Mathematics 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 Dewflicker min
ute," said Mr.. Pallzey, as he carelessly
extracted Mid-Iron.
He sauntered up to the silly Globule
and took an unprecedented SWipe.
The Stroke rang sweet and vibrant.
The ball rose in parabolic Splendor
above the highest branches of 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 time," quoth Mr.. Pallzey, II
will push it to Milwaukee,"
Missing the Object Of Attack by
scant six inches, he did q Genee toe
spin and fell heavily with his Face
among the DandeliOns.
The Host brushed him off and said:
''Your Stance was wrong; your lee
was too high; you raised the Left
Shoulder; you were too rapid on the
Comeback; 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, it was LoO-Loo."
eff I come out next Sunday could
you borrow me a Kit of TOols?" asked
Mr.. Pallzey. He was twitching violent
ly and looking at the Ball as if it had
called him q Name. 81 got the first
one all right, and think"
So it was arranged that the poor
doomed Creature was to appear on the
following Sabbath and be equipped
with q 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 it would be Lark to get the
hang Of the Whole Business and then
get after some of those Berries in the
White Pants. He figured that Golf
would be a Pipe for anyone who had
played Baseball when young.

/[4M\G the usual BlOOu PRESSURE,
'1CTDl &l was whizzing through a
eAlA1AW suburban Lonesomeness on
a lettering Trolley. The name of the
man was Mr.. Pallzey. He had a desk
with Concern that did merchandising
in large way.
Mr.. Pallzey feared Socialism and
carried his Wife's Picture in his Watch
and wore Plasters. In other words, he
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 a close-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 Clover, with a Weapon re-
sembling the iron Dingus used in goug-
ing the Clinkers from Furnace.
"What is the plot of the Piece?" he
inquired of Grand Army man, sitting
next.
II think" replied the Veteran, II
think he is killing a Garter-Snake."

giving the word the Terre Haute pro-
nunciation.
Mr.. Pallzey 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 it took all
kinds of People to make q 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
Milk-Sickness or falling Meteors, both
well authenticated but never encoun-
tered.
While rummaging through the Sport
ing Page he could come across cryp-
tic Reference to MacFearsOn Of Drum
tochtie being 3 up and to play on
Hargis of Sunset Ho, whereupon he
would experience 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-
lleve, were affiliated in some way with
the sickening Fad. He would look at
them with extreme Contempt and rath-
er resent their communicating cOntigu-
tty to the Mask, the Shin-Guard, and
the upholstered Grabber.
Mr.. Pallzey 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
4 keen and sporty game was Pin Pool
or Jacks Only with the Deuce running
wild.
One Sunday he was invited out to a
Food Saturnalia at a Country-Place.
The Dinner was postponed until late in
the Day because they all dreaded it so
much.
Friend Host said he had twosOme
on at the Club and was trying out an
imported Cleek, so he invited Mr.. Pail
zey to be a Spectator.
If he had said that he was going up
in a Balloon to hemstitch couple of
Clouds, it would have sounded just as
plausible to Mr.. Pallzey of the Whole
sale District.

DEAD BY A WOMAN;
FROM ANCHORAGE

CASPER, Wyo., Nov. 3-Lawrence Barrett former
y of Anchorage Alaska, killed in local restaurant
as the climax to dramatic scene between himself and
the woman who is reported to have shot him. Mrs BeS-
sic Fisher is the name of the woman.
Barrett and his family were at dinner when Mrs
Fisher entered the dining and going up to their table
entered into conversation with the man. She appeared to
be very much excited Before anyone present was arous
ed to any suspicion of her intent she pulled revolver and
fired at Barrett.
That the act was premeditatedis the conviction of the
witnesses as after the shooting Mrs Fisher declared that
she was glad she had killed him. Jealousy is the motive
assigned the muderess having made the dramatic asser
ton: IF can't have him, his wife can't either"
1t believed that Mrs Fisher followed the man here
from Alaska.
