CHAPTER XIV.

As DR.. Durant, having already given
counsel this morning to seven patients.
appeared at the door of the ante-room
to signal to the eight, he was pal
pably astonished at the presence Of
the young man who sat next to the
door. The Doctor was very human !;
the Doctor was very adaptable; but for
thirty years he had managed to keep
the social and professional phases of
his life entirely apart. and at the very
first glance he was aware that Hill
lard hadn't come to consult with him
professionally. Nevertheless, he raised
his finger in the usual sign; Hilliard
followed him to the inner room.
1t was Hilliard's introduction to the
Doctors morning manner; and even
In his own exalted spirit, he yielded

house on James street. He seemed de-
tached from the hampering littleness
of n household; there was no air Of in
territorial repose about him. Hllliard,

sion. felt apologetic; he felt as though
he were unwittingly robbing science
of its most valuable asset, which is
time.

"What seems to be the trouble? 2"
The Doctors tone was mild invita-

naries.
"Mr. Cullen and I are running down

"Partly. and partly not The whole

Picts and Scots.

In his Dictionary of Phrase and
Fable, the learned Rev. DR.. E. Cob
ham Brewer. writes upon Picts and
Scots: "Plct is not the Latin picti
(painted people). AS Picts and Scots
are always mentioned together, there
is no reason why one name should be
Latin and the other Gaelic. Scot is
the Gaelic 'sgod { a dweller in woods
and forests), and Pict is the Gaelic
pict-ist (freebooters), the two being
equivalent to foresters and free
hooters"

Proof That Quality Counts.

Bischoff. the great Russian scientist
and naturalist, once said "women are
inferior to men because their brains
are smaller and lighter" But when
that man died his brain was weighed
and found to be lighter than the aver
age woman's. So it is not weight or
size or sex, but quality, that makes
superiority. as the presumptuous Bis
choff proves.-EXchange.

THE PALACE.

Taking us back to those days in Ken
lucky just before the Civil War, a
period rich in romance, "The Little
Shepherd of Kingdom Come" by John
Fox is considered one of the best tales
laid in this interesting section of
Dixie" This story has been made
into a strong, realistic picture, one of
finest released in months, and the visu-
alization will be the steller feature of
the Palace screen for Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. Headed by
Jack Pickford, the big cast in 'The
Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come" has
been selected with the view of clearly
rejecting the very look of daily life
-three-score years ago in the mountains
and bluegrass regions of "OId Kahn
tuck" Like many stories of the south
land "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom
Come" sees brother pitted against
brother, father against son and whole
families divided. Touches of humor,
notes of tender pathos, quaint charact-
CREATIONS of both whites and darkies
and moments of heart-breaking woman
ly sacrifices are all woven into strong,
interesting and gripping fabric of the
finest fiction.
The vaudeville headliner for the first
half is new vehicle by Aaron Hoff-
man, "And Son" is the title of this
clever comedv playfet and it is pre-
sented by the very clever young actor,
Paul Decker, supported by company
of merit. The story is that of the son
of practical, hard headed business
man who proves to be much more at
home in the cabarets than in the Office

MANY men WALK OUT
IN WATERBURY SHOPS
New England Workers Associa-
ton Surprised at Leaders
Attitude.

Waterbury, April 23.-The action of
the New England Workers Associa-
ton in finally voting to strike in sup
port of the strikers organized by the
Connecticut Federation of Labor in
creased the number of men out of the
local factories by about 1000, yester-
day. -
. it is stated that the strike of the
New England Workers Association
was opposed by some of their leaders
who have hitherto been opposing the
Connecticut Federation of Labor's
campaign of organization on the ground
that the latter was not radical enough
to get the men anything. When it came
to a show down, however, these leaders
appeared to be anxious to prevent
strike if possible. The men were I'M
able to reconcile this attitude with the
leaders previous demand for decisive
action and some of the workers ex-
pressed considerable suspicion as to the
motives which, might possibly actuate
the leaders in question.
: AS a result the men voted to go out
in spite of the circumstances otp the
leaders who had so suddenly become
pacific in their attitude and out they
went. They are demanding IS cents
an hour. At present they are receiving
on an average of 40 cents.
The plants affected chiefly are the
Waterbury Brass and the Benedict &
tBurnham plants of the American Brass
company, the Scovill Manufacturing
company, the Chase Rolling, Mills, the
Plume & Atwood company and several
smaller factories.
It was stated by officials of the Amer
lean Brass company that about SO per

Boston, April 23.-Rai1road workers

has been advertised as a series of edu-
cational rallies throughout New Eng

the need for organizing under one
union. It was open to the public and
agents of the department off ustice and
private detectives were present.
