Crows Ho,dino Their Own.

There has been hostility between the
farmers and the crows ever Since there
were farmers In New England, but the
number of crows, so far as anyone
knows, has not decreased. They are
efficient, they are able to care for
themselves and are likely to hold their
own, no matter how much the popula-
ton may increase. More than that,
despite the severity of winter, each
crow looks sleek and well-fed, perfect
ly at home and contented with Its sur
roundlngs. The English sparrows and
the starlIngs may seek shelter during
severe weather, but, no matter how
cold or stormy 1t may be, one finds
the crow doing business as usual. II
the quail and ruffed grouse were as
hardy and intelligent and possessed
with an equally catholic taste for food,
a whole volume Of game laws might
be done away with.

.You,u have to wait I'll he's through

you'll have to wait I'll he's through
rehearslng." said the young man, and
then he came over to Rose.
The vestlges of the smile the duch-
ess had provoked were still visible
about her mouth when he came up.
"May walt and see Mr.. Galbraith
after the rehearsal?" she asked. III
I won't be In the way"
"Surc," said the young man. "He
won't be long now. He's been rehears-
ing since two" Then, rather explo-
sively, "Have chair"
He struck Rose as being a little
fiustered end uncertain somehow.
1t was a long hour that Rose sat
there In a little folding chair-an hour
that, In spite of all her will could do,
took some Of the crispness out Of her
courage.
When at last, little after six
o'clock, Galbralth said: "Quurter to
eight, everybody" and dismissed them
with mod for scurry to what were
evidently dressing rooms at the other
side of the hall, the ship Of Roses
hopes had utterly gone to pieces. She
had plank to keep herself afloat on.
1t was The determination to stay there
until he should tell her in so many
words that he hadn't any use for her.
The deprecatory young man was
talking to him now, about her and the
duchess evidently, for he peered out
into the hall, then vaulted down from
the stage and came toward them.
The duchess got up, and, with q
good deal of manner, went over to
meet him. Rose didn't hear what the
duchess said. But when John Gal
braith answered her, his voice easily
filed the room; "You tell Mr.. Pike,
IL that's his name, we haven't any
vacancies In the chorus at present. Ii
we find we need you, we can let you
know"
He said II not unliindly, but he ex-
erclsed some power of making 1t evil
dent that as he finished speaking,
the duchess, for him, simply ceased to
exist. Then, with disconcerting sud-
denness, he looked straight at Rose
and said: "What do you want?"
Shed thought him tall, but he
wasn't. He was looking on perfect
level into her eyes.
81 want q lob in the chorus" said
Rose.
"You heard what said to that 9TH
er woman, I suppose"
"Yes," said Rose, "but :"
"But you thought you'd let me say
1t to you again."
"Yes," she said. And, queerly
enough, she felt her courage coming
back.

lowed a porter to carry her bag into
the waiting room. There she tipped
the porter, picked up the bag herself,
and walked out the other door; crossed
over to Clark street and took street
car. At Chicago avenue she got OF,
and walked north, keeping her eyes
open for placards advertising rooms
to let. 1t was at the end Of about half
a mile that she found the hatchet-
faced landlady, paid her three dollars,
and locked her door, as a symbol, per-
haps, of the bigger, heavier door that
she had locked upon her past life.
Strongest among all the welter OF
emotions boiling up within her, was a
perfectly enormous relief. The thing
which, when she had first faced 1t as
the only thoroughfare to the real life
she so passioBately wanted, had
seemed such q verltable nightmare
was an accomplished fact. The week
of acute agony she had lived through
while she was forcing her sudden res
olution Upon Rodney had been all but
unendurable with the enforced con-
temptation of the moment Of partin
which they brought so relentlessl!
nearer. There had been terror, too
lest when the moment actually came,
she couldn't do 1t. Well, and now II
had come and gone! The surgery OF
the thing was over.
Rose busted the mirror with a towel
"A reckless act, as she saw for her
self, when she discovered she was go
ing to have to use that towel for q
week-and took an appraising look at
herself. Then she nodded confidently
there was nothing the matter with her
looks-and resumed her ulster, her
rubbers, and her umbrella, for 1t was
the kind of December day which called
for all three. Then, glowingly con
scious that she was saving nickel by
so doing, she set off downtown afooi
to get q job. She meant to get II
that very afternoon. And, partly be
cause she meant to so very definitely
she did.
On the last Sunday before Rose wen
away she had studied the dramatic
section of the morning paper witt
good deal Of care, and was rewarded
by finding among the news notes
an item referring to a new musica

CHAPTER XIV.
The World Alone.

Here's the first weeks rent then"
said Rose, handing the landlndy three
dollars, "and / think you'd better give
me receipt showing till when It's
paid for"
The landlady had tight gray hair
and a hard-bitten hatchet face. She
had no charms, one would have said,
of person, mind or manner. But 1t
was nevertheless true that Rose was
renting this room largely on the
strength Of the landlady. She was so
much more humanity possible than any
of the others at whose placarded doors
Rose had knocked or rung =. i
The landlady went away to write out
a receipt. Rose closed the door after
her and locked II.
She didn't particularly want to keep
anybody out But, in sense in which
It had never been quite true before,
this was her room. a room where any
one lacking her specific invitation to
enter would be an intruder-a condi-
tlon which had not obtained either In
her mothers house or In Rodney's.
She smiled widely over the absurdity
of indulglng in pleasurable feeling of
possession in squalid little cubbyhole
like this. The wall paper was stained
aud faded; there was an iron bed--the
mattress on the bed was lumpy. There
was dlngy-looking oak bureau with Q
small mirror; marble-topped blacl
walnut washstand and pitcher stand
ing In q bowl on top Of 1t.

SINGING CALLED LOST ART
It Is Now Confined Chiefly to Profes-
sionals, Drunkards and Phono.
graphs, Says Writer.

Singing, as far as most people are
concerned, Is lost art. Thousands
attend operas, recitals and muslcal
comedies, tens of thousands wind up
monographs; but as for singing them
selves informally at their work or play
they have forgotten how. In times
past people OF all ranks sang together
as matter of course. Sailors sang at
their work, peasants, Shepherds cow
boys-all had their favorite and ap-
propriate songs. The songs of chill
dren at games, the lullabies of moth
ers are In the collected ballads and
folklore of many peoples, says the In
dlanapolls News.
"The pastimes and the labOrs OF the
husbandman and the shepherd" says
Andrew Lang, "were long ago a kind
of natural opera. Each task had Its
own song; plowing, seeding, harvest
burlal-all had their appropriate bal
lads or drges. The whole soul OF the
peasant class breathes In their bur-
dens as the great sea resounds In the
shell cast up on the shore"
Nowadays the whlrl Of machinery
makes all the noise. The workers In
mills might find 1t unsatisfying to sing
at their work, but 1t Is doubtful II they
would sing even If their voices could
be heard; while singing In an Office OF
store would pretty surely be stopped
by the "boss" or the police. Thou
sands congregate every night in the
silence of moving picture theaters, ant
even in the churches where singing by
the congregation used to be customary
the attendants now usually listen II
silence to paid singer.
Singing in this age is largely con
fined to the professional performer
drunken men and gramophones.

comedy which was to be produced
at the Globe theater Immediately
after the Christmas holidays. "The
Girl Upstairs" was the title of 1t. 1t
was spoken of as one Of the regular
Globe productions so 1t was probable
Jimmy Wallace's experience with the
production of an earlier number In the
series would at least give her some-
thing to go by.
Granted that she was going to be
chorus girl for while, she could hard
ly find better place than one Of the
Globe productions to be chorus girl
in. According to Jimmy, 1t was de-
cent enough little place, and yet 1t
possessed the advantage of being,
spiritually, as well as actually, west OF
Clark street. Rodney's friends were
less likely to go there, and so have
chance of recognizing her, than to any
other theater In the city.
The news item in the paper told her
that the production was In rehearsal.
and It mentioned the name of the direc-
tor, John Galbraith, referring to him
as one Of the three most prominent
muslcal-comedy directors In the coun-
try.
When she asked at the box office at
the Globe theater where they were re-
hearsing "The Girl Upstairs" today,
the nicely manlcured young man In
side answered automatically, "North
End hall"
I'm afraid" said Rose, smiling a
little, "Pll have to ask where North
End hall Is"
"Not at ALL" said the young man
idiotically, and he told her the adj
dress-only a block or two from Roses
room.

"Grantw said John Galbraith again
and this time his voice had a cutting
edge. "Will you take your place On
the stage, or shall suspend rehearsal
until you're ready?"
For answer she turned and began
walking slowly across the room. She
started walking slowly, but under Gal
braith's eye she quickened her pace,
involuntarily, 1t seemed, until 1t was a
ludlcrous sort Of run. Presently she
emerged upon the stage, looking rath-
er artlficlally unconcerned, and the re-
hearsal went on again.
But Just before he gave the signal
to the pianist to go ahead, Galbraith
with a nod summoned young man
from the wings and said something to
him, whereupon, clearly carrying out
his orders, he vaulted down from the
stage and came walking toward the
doorway where Rose was still stand

RESURRECTION
 IN SWITZERLAND

the police have arrested over eighty persons charged with anti-military activities and with melting soldiers to diSobey the orders of their supe- Tiors and to insult their officers. Although the little republic has stcercd clear of active oarticipa- ton in the world war there has been from the beginning of it a severe line of cleavage between the miltarist and anti-militarist advo- cateS. On the one hard it is claim ed that Switzerland's neutrality has been respected becau.c of the efficiency of her military system while the disarmament advocates point out that she in fact has no military efficiency in strictly mo- dern sense, and that her immunity from the war comes because of the fact that unlike the belligerant na- tiOns at war she is not an aggres- sive inter-tra ding nation, content ing herself with the foreign trade that comes to her for such goods as are wanted of her.
