you could do or say would raise one

But you could weep with pity for
the girl whose dreams were to. be
swept away so soon. They might
have left her her illusions. They
might have let her hide the sordid-
ness of everyday living even from
her own eyes with her cloak of ro-
nance, but no one took the trouble
to do it. They walked her from her
dream, and life became ashes and
The girl you left behind you was
so full of faith in all that is fine
and high, and she had ideals that
reached to the stars. She trusted
life and was unafraid. She believed
in humanity and ached to be of serv-
ice to it. Her faith and love was
a religion.
1t sears your soul to remember
how the years and experience took
one. and changed her into the sus-
picious, cynical. selfish, wording you
| have become. Sorrowing and suf-
fering taught her fear. Ingratitude
made her distrustful. She saw love
taught her that only the selfish and
self-seeking can hold their own in a
| self-centered world. 1t was when
she had learned this lesson that the
girls face lost forever the soft look
it wore in the picture.
Oftenest when we meet again the
| girl we left behind US we ask her
wistfully where it was, along the
years, that she lost the high inten-
| lions with which she so confidently
started out. She was going, to do
great things. She was going to
write book, or compose music, or
interpret play that would be an
! inspiration to humanity.
I When she married she was not
going to sink into the rut of small
domestic interests that other women
broad, free life full of intellectual
and artistic interests. She was go
ing to be a wife who would keep
her husband keyed up to the best
that was in him. a mother who would
develop her children into super-men

as our neighbors are, vexed over the

At an early age the pretty torera
was taken to Portugal to witness a
bull fight. Her feminine susceptible
tiles, far from revolving at the spec

and determination to emulate the
prowess of the toreador.
A teacher of the art was so struck
with her keenness, physique ana
beauty that he offered to become her
instructor. She made her first ap-
pearance at Oporto recently, where
she quickly laid out two ferocious
bulls and rode off in triumph amid
thunders of applause.

state conventions of the political

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK ON
THE GIRL LEFT BEHIND ME
Poid
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer
BY DOROTHY DIX

~ o YOU, o middle-aged woman
ever meet that person, who is
/ y the strangest person in all
the world to you, the girl
that you were when sweet-and-
twenty, and whom you have left so
remember how she looked, or what
manner of creature she was?
sometimes you come upon her pic
ture in an old album, and you look
at it curiously. How pretty and
fresh the face is! How serene and
= look out upon the world! What a
bloom of rose was in those cheeks!
What gold was tangled in that hair!
How 1.-the and slim, as a willow
wand, that girlish figure!
1t is like the portrait of one long
look from it to your reflection in a
mirror, and see yourself stout and
grizzle-headed, with tired eyes and
with lines Of care and suffering on
your face, you can scarcely believe
that you were ever she.
Sometimes the girl you left behind
you comes and sits beside your bed
in the silent watches Of the night,
and you marvel at how gay and light
hearted she is. Laughter ripples
forever over her lips, and her heart
sings with just the joy of living. She

possible worlds, and that her path is
going to be streWn with roses with
never q thorn among them, and that
the sun is always going to shine for
her.
1t has been years and years since
you really laughed or thrilled to the
ecstacy of being. The path you have
trodden has been hard and stony,
with few flowers blooming along it's
arid way and your sky has had so
many more clouds than sunshine
that you have learned to be fearfully,
forever expecting storms.
But as an echo of the girls gay
laughter fits back to you you are
filled with a furious anger against
those who robbed her of her joyous
ness, who stif1ed the song in her
heart and wha blotted out the sun
shine from her.
And as YOU look into the eyes of
the girl you left behind you, you see
that they are filled with dreams-the
beautiful romantic dreams of maid
enhood that always end, like the fairy
tale, with "And so they were married
and lived happily ever afterwards,
She dreamed of a lover as hand

southern Florida and the west coast as well,
through that States system of highways"
With such opportunities and incentives the
counties north of the links for which pave
ment already is provided may be counted
on to perfect their own part of the great
chain, so that highway comparable to the
best in America, and in some respects SUI
perior to any other, will result.
Such an inducement to motoring tourists
and seekers of opportunity is we'll
worth heralding to the world. The asso-
citation has wisely provided for commit
tee on publicity, of which iditor ]. l.. Her
ring, of the Triton Gazette, is chairman.
There is no more helpful service in the
whole great enterprise than that which
this committee can render. One of it's early
duties will be to have the highway between
Macon and Jacksonville properly marked
and to see that it is listed in all road guides
and advertised in motor journals. Beyond
this lies an almost unlimited field for sea-
sonable publicity strokes that will direct in
terest to the highway and to the promiseful
country it traverses.

New Haven, April 2g.-Any under graduate would concede the point that the Yale faculty baseball team is a min or sport Prof. William Lyon Phelps, captain and manager. declares that the prospects for the team are unusually good this season. The worst feature of the batting, he says is a tendency to fly out, most of the men having been in the hot-air service. This fault is. however, confined to the younger men. who, dis satifed with their salaries, go on strikes. Nearly all the colts are suffer ing from charley horse. Prof. Tinker has been moved to center field because he has made a special study in English of Fielding. The game with Phi Beta Kap- pa will be played on Decoration day. and there will be a good deal of bunt- ing.

Now that there are rumors of Jack Dempsey fighting again, Fred Fulton has begun to press his claims to a match for the title.

It was one of the new Winchester bolt action box magazine rifles which made their first appearance at Caldwell when twelve of the twenty members of the Interna- tional small bore team used them in their successful contest with the Eng fish team.
 Firing at a sighting bull of 3 3-S inches and a counting bull of inches in the prone position and using the regular sights with which the rifle is equipped, Captain Ashley started in to test his skill and the rifle simultan- eously and when he had had enough he had annexed remarkable run re- cord. Sixty eight bullets in succession made the center of the target and it
 was not until his 69th shot that Cap tain Ashley got out of the center of | the target enough to lose the bull. The n he hung up a close four. Captain Ashley's shooting was done
 from a prone shooting table used for regular indoor prone shooting gallery work without any artificial rest, arm clear and using the sling on the rifle. l Indoor rifle shooting has been in-
 dulged in quite vigorously this winter 1 in many sections of the country and some fine shooting has been recorded
 but it is a question whether any bet
 ter record than that of Captain Ash | ley will be made under the conditions which he shot.
 Such shooting requires wonderful control an accurate eye and remark able holding qualities. The least flincl
 or failure to hold perfectly during tha long string of bullseyes would hav
 broken the charm and sent one of tn bullets outside the little two inch cir cle. Captain Ashley's record gave remarkable example of fine holdin
