and from the shop.
She walked rapidly along Fifty
ninth street, but not rapidly enough to
escape one or two murmurous gal
lants.
She found Patterson quarreling with
a property man. over the responsibility
for a broken vase. He ignored her till
at length she ventured to stammer:
"Here / am, Mr.. Patterson"
$50 I see. Well. sit down some
where"
Finding a seat was no easy task.
Every piece of furniture she selected
became at once the object Of the
scene shifter's attack and she had to
take flight.
Members of the company strolled in,
paused at the mailbox and went to
their various cells.
Eventually Patterson found that all
the company was on hand and in good
health. He said to Daphne, Every
body is here and nobody sick, so you
needn't stay after the curtain goes
up"
But she wanted to learn her trade,
so she loitered about, feeling like an
unlimited poor relation. The members
Of the company came from their lairs,
looking odd and unreal in their paint.
They seemed to be surprised that
Daphne was still in existence. Eldon
gave her a curious smile Of greeting.
She heard the call boy crying "Over-
ture" about the corridors. She heard
the orchestra playing s'the kings
piece" Then it struck up march
that sounded remote and irrelevant.
There was a loud swish which she sup
posed to be the curtain going up. An
actor and an actress in white fanneIs
with tennis rackets under their arms
linked hands and skipped into the well
of light. They banded repartee for
a time.
Eldon, speaking earnestly to Mrs.
Vinlng, suddenly began to laugh soft

SEEM TO HAVE HIDING PLACE
Just Where Do Facts Go That One
Knows, Temporarily Forgets and
Afterward Remembers?

One of the odd things about what
we call loss of memory is that it is
catching. How often when one
person forgets a name well known
to him does his companion, to whom
it is equally well known, forget It, too
Why is that?
The other day ! had an excellent
example of this odd epidemic. 1t was
necessary for the name of certain
actor-not star, but versatile
repertory actor Of much distinction
to be recalled in order that letter
to him might quickly be dispatched.
I had forgotten his name, but l de-
scribed him and his methods with
sufficient accuracy for every one
(there were about six of us) to recog-
nize him. Some of us could even say
in what parts we had seen him and
compare notes as to his excellence,
and vet his name absolutely eluded
one and all. Why7 We all knew it;
why did we unanimously fail to know
it then?
We parted intent upon obtaining
this necessary information. On meet
ing again the next day each of us had
it pat enough, and it had broken upon
each, more or less suddenly, during
the night.
The great mystery to me is,
where are the things one forgets, but
suddenly will remember again, while
one is forgetting them? Where are
they lurking? This problem Of their
whereabouts. their capacity to hide

fate but not knowing what the verdict
was. She felt sure that it would be
not guilty of dramatic ability. She
was worn out with the exposure of her
own faults and uncertain which she
reared the more-to be dismissed or
to be accepted. The latter meant I'M
ending trials.
At the elevator she found Tom
duane. He had just telephoned up
to the apartment to ask if she were in.
There was welcome fiattery in his
frank delight. She asked him up. Tom
Duane was electric with cheer. He
praised Daphne with inoffensive heart
mess and insisted on hearing the his
tory of her progress. She gave the
worst possible account of her stupid
ity. He would have none of her self

SEyerything's got to begin,'' he said.

There was fine reinsurance in that

go to the telephone and call up Reben.

His solicitude pleased her. She
smiled palely: ''Mr. Reben told me he
was afraid I'd better give up the job.
He was very polite and awfully sorry,
but he said he didn't think I was quite
suited to the work. He said that later,
perhaps, there might be another
chance, -oh-oh-oh 70
She was crying with all her might.
Gradually she realized that Duane's
hands were on her shoulders. He was
squeezing them as If to keep her from
sobbing herself to pieces. His face
was close to hers, and he was muir

She stared at him through her tears.
They blurred him in dancing flashes
of light as if he were sun god. She

CHAPTER XII.

She woke early next morning. It
was just six o'clock. She rememberesl
that her father would be arriving in
two hours. She decided that it would
be a pleasant duty to surprise the
poor, old. neglected codger by meeting
him.
At the Grand Central station Daph-
ne found that she was nearly an hour
too early for the train. 1t amused
her to take her breakfast at the lunch
counter, to Chamber on the high stool
and eat the dishes of haste-a cup of
coffee and ham sandwich. It was
pleasant to wander about alone in this
atmosphere of speed the suburban
trains, like feed pipes. spouting
streams of workers, the outbound
trains drawing their passengers to far
off destinies as if by suction.
At length it was time for the train.
Daphne went to the rope barrier OPP
posite the door of entry and waited
in ambush for her father.
At length she made out a rather
shabby man carrying his own luggage.
1t was her father. He looked older
and seedier than she remembered. He
did not expect to be met. He was
looking idly at the new station. He
had not been to New York since it had
been thrown open.
She ran to him. He dropped his old
suitcase on the toes of the man follow

fervor. He deyoured her with his eyes
and kissed her again and told her that
she was prettier than ever. All about
them there were little groups embrace
ing and kissing. There was wonder
full business in reunions.

This amused him enormously. $50

"Where did you get all the money 2"
'I'm working lady now
He laughed again and shook his
head over her.
"What did you mean by saying you
were working lady?" said Wesley
when they were seated at the table
and breakfast was ordered. 'sYour
mother wrote me something about hav-
ing a little disagreement with you.
She seemed 10 be right worried, so /
thought I'd better run on to see if

can talk without interruption for once.
Tell me all about it,
She told him the whole story Of her
decision to join the great social rev
olution that is freeing women from the
slavery of enslaying the men. Her
peroration was her new watchword !:

From the Ancient Greeks.

"To throw dust in ones eyes" is a
saying derived from the ancient
Greeks. Epaminondas, wishing to sur
prise the Lacedemonians, is said to
have caused 1000 cavalrymen to ad-
vance in front, kicking up great dust
which the wind blew into the faces of
the enemy, thus binding them to Il
flank movement he was executing with
view to taking the coveted heights
in the rear.

but she had to hold them in hers. She
was drowning, and she must cling to
whatever arms stretched down to her.
She must not question whose they
were till she was safe again on the
solid earth.
Duane was laughing now and pat
ting her on the back as if she were a
frightened child. She felt no right
to rebuke his caresses. They were
such as brother might give sister.
His arm about her was that of a com
rade, sustaining another in a battle.

who offered her courage and praise
and help in her need.

ministration.
The question of mandates for
various parts Of Turkey is before
the council of four and has not
been finally settled British and
French sentiment is favorable to
the United States taking the man
date for Constantinople and a SINH
lar movement is apparently gaining
ground in the American legation.

a decision must be conditioned on
the submission Of the question to
congress.

ministration of Turkey is occupy

conference and it appears to be a
desire on the part of the powers

been advised by Henry Morgen-
thau, former American ambassador
to Turkey, that the administration

ceptance Of the responsibility of
