"The Beautiful Californian" was not beautiful that night. Instead she was unbeautiful, for no woman is good to look upon when she is weep ing. And Barbara was weeping, all alone in her room.
 At first she had been shocked by Mrs. Sheldon's dreadful news of John De Haven. It impressed her with a sense of disaster for him, though she reflected that he would meet the trial with superb courage when it came. But would that Dr. Hill be able to rectify the mistake the country prac- titioner had made?
 "That little beast of sawbones,' she found herself thinking as she bor- rowed the phrase from the indignant Mrs. Sheldon.
 Her question remained unanswered She did not know and only could hope for the best for him. He had seemed so strong, so straight of limb, so 1.-the and graceful that it would be pity for him to be crippled. That was unthinkable-John De Haven a cripple. How he could dance, how vault into the saddle of his hunter disdaining the stirrup when he chose How vigorous and virile his step All these things she recalled as she cried silently, compassionately be- cause of her sympathy for him.
 Her tears were flowing freely when there came knock at her door. It was little tentative tap, tap, tap as though a visitor was not sure she was in.
 She kept still and the tap, tap, tap was repeated. Then Barbara heard the tapping no more. Had she lis tened she would not have heard foot

steps either, for none was made.
 Now Barbara erred. She stole to the door and opened it. She thought to look out to see who it was, wonder ing a little if it were Mrs. Beckley Hewitt's maid who sometimes knocked that way.
 There stood Mrs. Harvey Sheldon undecided whether to knock again. It had not been long, really, since she had knocked though it had seemed d long time to Barbara.
 ooh, you are in!" exclaimed Mrs Sheldon, her sweet voice expressing the pleasure she felt at the discovery May I join you?" she asked, smiling at Barbara.
 The door was opened by "The Beau tiful Californian" and Mrs. Sheldon and the two women were alone 3togeth- CT. Barbara had said nothing, fear ing to trust her voice. though she felt that she could trust Mrs. Sheldon That lady saw at a glance that Bar .bara was in distress. And at once she was sympathetic.
 Mrs. Harvey Sheldon was as clever and tactful as she was sweet and gen. erous. She did not allow Barbara to utter a word for long time, but launched into description of hel motor trip from New York that gave Barbara splendid opportunity to re- cover her composure. Then, when the girl was herself again, her guest drove at once with surety but remark able gentleness straight at the point she wanted to reach. "Poor John De Haven" she began "is in such wretched plight. de clare his misfortune has upset me

 About 5000 men are affected by the strike, according to union leaders. William Fish, general manager of the street car lines, said an attempt would be made to continue operation of the cars on all lines but admitted it would be difficult for the company to handle rush hour traffic.
 The elevated lines are not affected. The strike of l92 employed in power stations from which current is sup piled to the car lines was the devel- opment which actually created the tie up on the lines.
