The Daily Story
A Florentine Episode-By Elinor Marsh

Arthur Hanlstreet, q rich young
American, before settling down to a
career, concluded to spent season in
Europe He sailed from New York
to Naples, thence proceeded TO Rome
and later TO Florence.
1t is supposed by persons who have
not been in italy that one sees every
where relics OF the ancient Romans.
There are comparatively few such
relics, but there are many Of mediaey-
al Italy. The most costly dwellings
are "palazzos," built several centuries
ago Hemstreet took q fancy TO Flor
ence and concluded 10 spend some
time there so he rented a palazzo, or,
rather, half a one, and, hiring SER
wants, settled himself down, as it were
in the middle Of the sixteenth century
The building had been divided into
two parts, the part that Hemstreet did
not occupy being occupied for a small
family hotel, or rather what in Eu
rope is called a pension, which is mid
way between a hotel and a boarding
house
One rainy afternoon Hemstreet, who
had spent most of the day in the pic
ture galleries for which Florence is
noted, came 10 his palazzo. 1t was so

tered the hall on which his bedroom
was located. he was astonished to see
that the hall was double the length he
had supposed it to be. At any rate,
he saw double the lights, but they
were dim, as were the objects they
lighted
Hemstreet was very much puzzled.
Going into his. room he threw of
his wet oVercoat and rubber shoes,
then went out with the intention of
exploring the hall He was surprised
TO see that it ended as he had under
stood it to end with a picture
Hemstreet was frightened. Surely
something had broken loose I'm his
brain. He went to the picture, exam
med it, saw that ii was what he had
supposed it was and went away resolv-
to watch himself closely for other
symptoms Of a disordered mind. But
be felt as well as he had ever felt,
and after awhile he ceased to worry
about any supposed disorder
However. he never went upstairs TO
his room without looking as soon as he !

more than his previous unexplained
one. A young girl stood in the han
facing the picture. laughing and beck
oning She was all aqWver with exc
citeraent though she did not speak
except in pantomime
Thunderstruck, Hemstreet turned
from the door, felt in a closet for
dressing gown. then hunted for a pair
of slippers beside his bed. for he dare
not strike a light for fear OF soaring
the apparitiou without, then returned
to the door. threw it open and went OUT

The hall was empty
He looked 10 the end toward which
the girl had beckoned. There was the
picture, it's figures immoyable as ever.
Hemstreet went back 20 bed in won

that he had seen a ghost He felt no
terror, though he began 10 worry anew
lest there was a hitch in his brain lie
lay awake most Of the night trying 10
solve the problem. but finally went to
sleep thinking of IT,
He arose the next morning shortly
before time for luncheon and stood
looking out on to the street A cab
drove up TO the pension, next door. and
q party alighted, which included sew
eral girls Hemstreet was thunder
struck to recognize in one Of these
girls the one who had stood in his hall
way the night before.
It was now evident that the appari-
ton was flesh and blood and doubtless
on q lark Hemstreet went next door
and asked If there was any passage

that the two wings had been thorough

Compulsory Military Training.
One OF the many good things done by
the American Union Against Ailitar-
ism is publication in pamphlet form
the entire testimony Of Philip Schae-
fer CT Chicago. formerly of the Swiss
army before the senate committee on
military affairs Senator Cham beTlain
and other miIifarists are trying TO
suEar-coat their compulsory service
propositions with the statement that
they want to introduce the Swiss mill
tary system, not the German. Mr
Schaefers testimony shows the Swiss
system TO be both oppressive and OBJ
jeCtionabIe. and useless for any pur-
pose other than strjke-bTeaEIng.
American militarists have stated that
the Swiss army is all that has saved
Switzerland from the fate OF Belgium.
Mr.. Schaefer makes clear the absurd
ity Of that claim They have repre-
scented the Swiss system as democrat
ic Mr.. SChaefer shows it, to be arlsto-
cratic The militarists have said that
the Swiss system is physically benef-
cial to the recruits. Mr. Schaefer tells
how ii. promotes drunkenness and vice.
The pamphlet should be distributed
widely. The American Union Against
Militarism is furnishing them from its
headquarters i'm the Southern build
ing at Washington for five cents each,
which barely covers the cost OF pro
duction. The American people should
