CHAPTER X-Contirued.

She got MP quickly, and, trailing her
tong satin train ucross the floor, bolted
tile door. Then from inside her cor
sage she brought out and held to Sid
ncy a letter. Special delivery. Read
It."
1t was very short: Sidney read 1t
at a glance:
Ask your future husband If he knows a
Eirl at 2iJ --~ avenue,
Three months before, the Avenue
would have meant nothing to Sidney.
Now she knew. Christine, mere So
phisticated. had always known.
"iou see" she said. "That's what
Im up against"
Quite suddenly Sidney knew who
the girl at 213 ---- Avenue was. The
paper she held in her hand was hospi-
tal paper with the heading torn off.
The whole sordid story lay before her:
Grace Irving, with her thin face and
cropped hair, and the newspaper Oh
the floor OF the ward beside her!
Size picked up her vel! and set the
coconet OH her head. Sidney stood
with the letter in her hands. Ono of
KS answers to her hot question had
been this: "There Is no sense In look
ing back unless 1t helps us to look
ahead. What your little girl of the
ward has been is not so important rs
what she Is going to be-"
Even granting this to be true" she
saiG TO Christine slowly--'and it may
only be malicious. aitsn w .Ga,;s
tiaa--it's surely over and done with.
Its not PaImer's past that concerns
you aow-it's his future with you, isn't
it2"
Christine had finally adjusted her
veil. She rose and put her hands on
Sidacy's shoulders.
''ghe simple truth Is" she said quiz
city, that I might hold Palmer if l
cared-terribly. l don't. And I'm
afraid he knows 1t. It's my pride that's
tiuct. nothing else.
Aad thus did Christine Lorcnz go
deHp to her wedding. .
sidney stood for u moment, her eyes
on The letter she held. Already, In
her new philosophy. she had learned
ma@y strange things. One of them
was this--that ON like Grace IT.
viag did not betruy their lovers; that
the code of the underworld was death
to the %squealer:" that one played the
game, and won or lost, and II he lost,
to,s his medicine. If not Grace, then
who? Somebody else In the hospital
wha knew her story. Of course. But
wkoy And a%gain-why?
Before going downstairs, Sidney
placed the letter In a saucer and set
Are to It with a match. Some Of the
raaiance had died out Of her eyes,.
Tc X, sitting In the back Of the
Sharch between Harrlet and Anna, the
wedding was Sidncy-SIdney only.

Would Get Him Out.

A school-inSpectof, who was eSamin-
ing a class Of boys in arithmetic, set
the following question:
IF a cat fell into u bottomlcss pit,
and climbed up two feet for every
three IT fell, how long would it take to
get out?"
This proved a regular puzzler to the
lads, and one little fellow vent at the
problem with Il Will. and covered both
sides of his slate with calculations.
'IHerc!" exclaimed the inspector, rs
he noticed him hard Mt work. "Stop
doing that. Haven't you the sense 10
see that the cat couldn't possibly get
out?"
"Oh, yes, he could. sir" replied tho
boy, brightly. If you'll only give me
time III bring him out mt Australia"

A Tale Of Trieste.

The Italians are fighting to get back
Trieste. How some of the inhabitants
of that city feel toward their Austrian
masters Is shown by the following
story: A traveller went into d church
there and noticed among a large NUM-
Der Of votfve offerings Il silver mouse.
This, he was told, was presented by a
lady whose house had been oyerrun
with these little pests. After her gift
to the Madonna, the mice entirely dis
appeared from her place.
"You don't believe that yarni" re-
marked the skeptical traveller.
"Of course not" replied the sacris.

on the whole. the DISTINGUISHED observer must adulge victory to our deep
seated democracy which makes it really unsuitable that the White House
should ever be exactly fashionable.
We never forget not only that the presidential residence is u home, but
that The president in it is oar man. The almost utopan democracy of public
receptions at the White House is both engaging and picturesque. In the
early days congressman used to come to them with bowie knives in their high,
cowhtde boots. and in Jacksons time, guards with stout sticks beat back the
guests while the food was being fetched from the kitchens. Then an eve
ming party had all the charm of a riot. A diplomat complained not so long
ago that even at the exclusive receptions for the corps. the American young
ladies surreptiuousy cut an the buttons off his clothes for souvenirs.
Another diplomat new to these democratic shores. arriving late for Il
New Years reception, was astonished to find that the negro haclnan who
