Two Views of the Case.

while In the parlor waiting for the APP
pearance Of the family the broker drew
the young mans attention to a glass
closet containing handsome silver set.
"Just look at these things! he said.
"You can see how wealthy these peo-

"But is it not possible that these arti-
cles were borrowed for the occasion"
inquired the suspicious young man, $50

rested on the cue.
isn't billiards very difficult to
learn ?" asked Miss Welland.
"Why?"
'It takes so long to learn how to
hold the cue!" The lesson progress
ed better after that--for a time.
It came Carrick's shot. The
balls had stopped in the form of a
triangle: A clever "draw" earned
him the billiard. Miss Carrick ap-
plauded. ct came as though a
magnet were attracting il" she said.
s0That being my ball." expounded
the teacher, "the same forces act
upon it as act on me. A magnet has
been drawing me for about two
years now. And doesn't the red
ball remind you Of some one? See
how closely it has stayed near your
ball sine. we've been playingp
"Why Shouldn't it?' queried Miss
Welland saucily as she shot and
missed. "And, anyway, resemblances
have nothing to do with the game.
You're teaching me billiards, re-
member"
'sBilliards-and something else, "
said Carrick. "See how the red
ball sulks at the lower end of the Ia
BILE. I'm going to stir it up"
His ball clicked Miss Welland's
cue ball gently and doubled the
corner just in time to be stopped by
it. They met square on its return
from the cushion and stopped, a few
inches apart.
"See how near they are" said
Carrick-"no chance for a misun-
derstanding, no opportunity for
theater tickets to get lost en- route
fromcone to the other. The red ball
is the length Of their world away.
That's the way they belong, side by
side, always"
"What is it called" asked Miss
Welland hurriedly, "when one ball

his cue with a certain fnality and
advancing around the table, els cali

Billiards and
Something Else
His Chance Came With Lesson
In the Game.
By M. ]. PHILLIPS

The trouble was that, while Car
rick admitted his offense and was
anxious to present his excuse, Miss
Welland by her manner ignored the
existence Of an offense~ and SO made
excuse impossible. At first blush that
sounds all right, but it wasn't.
For how could a fellow secure free
dom from his grievous dungeon
when the pardon board publicly and
officially pretended to believe that
he was enjoying the sweet atmos-
phere Of liberty? That was the
question which bothered Carrick.
He felt that five minutes talk
with Miss Welland would set every
thing right. But she was graciously
and firmly unapproachable. She in
sisted on treating him just the
same as ever, only more SO. And
Carrick ratified his dungeon chains,
while Miss Welland smiled sweetly
on Purves Bland.
Carrick wasn't really to blame.
They had been going to the theater
Wednesday evening after having
waited three weeks to get tickets
because everybody else seemed to
want to 60 too. And that very
Wednesday afternoon the manager
had sent for Carrick.
"Be here at s o'clock tonight"
he directed. "There will be spe-
cial meeting of the board for the
purpose Of discussing your carbon
improvement plan. If we take it
up His pompous smile was rich
with promise.
For a young man whom opportu-
nifty had seized by the nape of the
neck and was thrusting headlong
into prosperity Carrick was singu-
larly unappreciative. He knew how
Miss Welland was anticipating see
ing "What a Woman Would Do
and the impossibility Of securing
other tickets during the5remainder
of the run. Miss Welland's slight
est wish was more important just
then than a good many other things,

If THERE ever was a man that was

If THERE ever was a man that was
right with the people of Wisconsin
that man is Irvine L. Lenroot, con-
gresham from the i tn Congressional
District, and we would like nothing
better than to see him elevated to
the place of United States Senator
to fill the vacancy caused by the
accidental death of Paul Husting.
Wisconsin should be represented
in the Senate by true American
and there is no other man in Congress
to whom this term better
applies. During the past two years
Lenroot has won great credit for
himself by his clean-cut splendid
Americanism which he has shown at
all times on the floor of the House
of Representative and his stand is
one that has been backed up by
people throughout the state of Wis
consin and the United States.
Irvine Lenroot of the 18th Dis
trict is one of the states really big
men in Congress and he is one of the
big men OF the nation. He has de-
monstrated his ability during years
in Congress and he would be the
logical choice for the position of
United States Senator.

An editor of Jersey newspaper,

have received this query from a
reader: "Please advise me how to

The Dominant Air.

AS through an opera runs the
rhythm of one dominant air, SO
through mems lives there rings a
dominant note, soft in youth, strong
in manhood and soft again in old
age. But it is always there, and,
whether soft in the gentler periods
or strong amid the noise of the peri
helion, it dominates always and
gives its tone tt the whole life.

The Word "sIave."

The word ''slave" is word Of bril-
liant historical antecedents. Its orig
inal, the Russian "slava," means glori-
GUS and is the title Of that race which
includes the Russian people. But
when the Germans reduced hosts OF
the Slavs to servitude their name, from
malice or accident, as Gibbon says, be-
came synonymous with "servile."
