"And you don't know OF anyone who

with o face white as ashes. Pauline
rose from her chair. "You must ex-
cuse me, Mr.. Stone. / am I'LL don't
feel we'll. Really I must beg to be
excused"
Almost before he realized what she
was doing, Pauline had left him, glided
to the elevator, and he heard the door
OF the cage clang to, even as he fol-
lowed her.
Poor child" he said to himself,
poor dear little grill" and going in
quest Of Mrs. Macdonald, he asked her
to go to Pauline.
"You will perhaps find her greatly
disturbed" he said, ''but I assure you
It is nothing that can be avoided or
remedfed. Please, Mrs. Macdonald,
just try to comfort and cheer her,
without asking the cause of her sad
ness"
After q straightforward look into
Stones eyes. which was as frankly re-
turned, Mrs. Macdonald nodded her
head and fastened away. ss..
AS Stone had predicted, she found
Pauline sobbing Historically.
What is It, dear?" she queried,

at least tell me what I can do for you.
Don't don't cry sol"
But no words could she get from the.
sobbing girl, except an insistent de-
mand for a telegraph blank. This was
provided, and Pauline wrote a message
to Carr Loria telling him that Elem.
ing Stone had come to Cairo. This
she ordered dispatched at once. Then
she begged Mrs. Macdonald to leave
her, as she wished to 60 to bed and
try to forget her troubles In sleep.
Meantime, Fleming Stone left the
hotel and proceeded straight to Carr
Loria's rooms. He expressed surprise
when the janitor informed him of Mr..
Loria's absence.

The janitor hesitated, but after a
transference Of some coin Of the realm
effected, he cheerfully unlocked
the door and Stone found himself In
Loria's apartment. 1t was a comfort
able place, ven luxurious, in a man
nish way, and the detective looked
about with interest. AS he had pro-
posed, he went to the writing table
and, taking a sheet Of writing paper
from the rack, wrote a short note.
But instead Of leaving it, he put it in
his pocket, saying to the watchful jan
itor that perhaps 1t would be better to
mail 1t. Then he stepped into Loria's
bedroom, but so quickly did he step
out again, that the janitor hadn't time
to reprove or forbid him. .
"AH right" he said, as he started to
leave. when Mr.. Loria returns you

This permission went far to allay
the janitor's fears that he had been

man who brooked interference with his

The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
OURSELVES AND OTHERS

| she would nave made them a hundred
times happier thar she did by staying
on and doing the mental services lot
! them that any hired girl could have
done just as well.
Sometimes we see a young man who
is shouldering the burden that his
shiftless and worthless parents rave
shunted onto him. He tolls like a slave
Ito support and educate his little broth
ers and sisters and to give them the
advantages Of education and such
clothes as he never had. He denies
himself ali thoughts of love and estab-
fishing a home of his own. Every, day
of his life he is the goat offered up
on the family altar.
And the result Of his sacrifice gen.
orally Is that he turns the younger
brothers and sisters into leaners n
loafers, who depend on somebody else
to give them The things they want in
stead of working for them themselves;
There Is no reason why the able bodied
man or woman should be supported by
another, and If the older brother had
taken his own and forced the younger
brothers and sisters to SHIFT Tor mem,
selves as far as they could, he would
have saved both himself and them.
Often we see a woman who has rare
yifts-Who could win fame n fortune
as a singer, or an actress, or a writer
or whose executive ability. would en-
able her to rise high in the business
world. but who has to bury her talents
in the home circle because her rs
bands vanity will not brook a wire
who is more important in the pubic
eye thar he Is.
Often and often we see a man whose
career Is blighted by a silly little wife
whose extravaganza keeps him tied IKE
a slave to his job: or who refuses to
let him go to the place where MS
fortune lies; or whose selfish demand
on his time leave him no leisure In
which to study and keep up with MS
profession, or whose love Tor pleasure
drags him about half the night &c
places of amusement n SENDS MN &c
work nerve tagged and weary.
Certainly no one can think that the
superior wife or husband should sac
rifice herself or himself to the inferior
one. and yet 1t Is the tragedy of mat
rimony that 1t is almost invariably
done, for it is only the big-brained
and the great-hearted who are unselt-
ish and who see anything except thelr
poor little pitiful selves.
That is why the question OF what
we owe to ourselves and owe to others
can never be settled. Those who fee
within themselves the possibility OF, DO
ing great things, know that they owe
everything to themselves, but they car
never collect the debt. 1t Is only the
mean-spirited and self-centered who
take everything that Is due them. Ant
