Since the first of the current month
new business has been appearing in less
volume than in the corresponding two

manufacturer says operations of German
raiders in the Atlantic and uncertainty

have held up some business. Naturally,

"On the contrary, If l thought for one

never practice again. Come, make
your mind easy and sit down in that
chair. Now fold your hands and COM

Clough took his seat and Emmanuel
went to a chest and brought back a
small instrument consisting of kind
of glass ball, suspended from a chain.
The chain terminated in a common
corded wire and socket, which he at
tached to the electric light fixture.
He turned the switch and instantly
the ball began revolving with tremen-
dous rapidity.

ARE MORE INDEPENDENT NOW
One Effect Of the War on the Women
OF France Is to "American-
ize" Them.

In general way one might say that
the war has to some extent American
lied the women of France. That Is.
In the sense Of our current expression
"a PAmericaine," it has given her more
freedom Of action, more independence
in manners and spirit. 1t has elm
inated-especially as far as young
girls are concerned-many little con-
ventions which really tended to become
less rigorous anyway, but which the
strong winds Of the last two years,
happenings have entirely blown away.
Some twenty years ago the daugh-
tiers OF good families began to acquire
the right to take a walk without a
chaperone, something unheard-of. I'M
imaginable, to their mothers. Now
they fare forth unattended to the hos
pitfalls, to their works of charity. which
have multiplied greatly during the
war.
But 1t Is their relations to the young
men that have undergone the most
radical changes. Mademoiselle keeps
up correspondence with her "god-
sons" and with her childhood friends
IN the army. The ever-present thought
tnat these young men may at any mo-
ment vanish out Of the world has rem
dered them inexpressibly more dear to
everyone. and so parents have accord
ed this liberty which tradition up to
now had refused.-Cartoons Magazine.

But, looked at in another, 1t Is q mod
ern miracle. Emmanuel gave me his
version the next day, when called to
question him and found Tarrant al
ready there.
my explanation is" said the Doc
tor, that the one was all soul and
the other all body. And Clough, by
reason of his great love for her. did
what Orpheus is tabled to have done
for Eurydice; he went down into hell
and found her again. You know, those
myths all have some psychological
meaning. / imagine that he got to
that region where all souls are merged
in the world-soul, which we call God,
and that there he gave her, what she
lacked, out of his superfiuity. That's
all; as you know, it got beyond my
control"
"Or," hazarded Tarrant, perhaps
the power Of imagination stirred her
better nature into activity"
IF you prefer to put it that way"
replied the Doctor.
And they were married, Of course.
and lived together with mutual devo-
ton. AS Tarrant says, Nature knows
her own purposes and usually man

Clough. I must correct it. It was
more like an equalization, sort OF
eQuipoise between two unequal ma
lures which found their own level.
But then. as Tarrant says, you never
know just how much Of a part imag-
nation plays.

There was no answer, but suddenly
Clough pitched sidewise out of his
chair. The Doctor caught him. He
held him under the arms and raised
them. The arms remained in the air.

and deepest hypnotic state, the cata-

mind it had taken on somehow, in
some measure, the aspect of the
woman's.

suddenly.

the Captain. and there came no an

he repeated 1t. Emmanuel got up and
stood staring at him in perplexity.

said, in tones which indicated some
thing like terror. 81 never had this
happen before" He turned to me.
What would you adviser" he asked.
He shook him. "Clough! Clough!" he
called. Wake up!" But there was
no response.
I took the Captains hand in mine
and felt his pulse. It fiuttered with
alarming irregularity and it must have
been hundred and forty. I rushed
over to the woman. She was in the

moribund.

at the revolving ball. My own grew
heavy; I was becoming hypnotized

them and watched the Captains face.
Emmanuel drew nearer and held the
ball within q few inches Of his fore

soothingly. ''Now, do you notice how

Clough's eyes closed. He did not

Doctor. "Your mind Is active but
