Reports of banditry, but on a
somewhat reduced scale, continue to
filter In from Mexico. On the other
hand come reports that Francisco villa
has entered into an armistlce with the
new government and agreed to cease
attacks on trains, garrisons and towns.
This Is in direct cOntrayentlon Of a
manifesto issued a short time ago by
ten Of Villas generals, including his
chief Of staff, and number OF civil

would be continued. The burden of

AS a winding up Of one of the prob
lens growing out Of the war, over
$150,000,000 of property seized as en-
envy owned during the conflict, is now
ready to be returned under qualifca-
tons provided for in the amendment
to the trading with the enemy act,
passed during the closing days Of the
last congress. Among those who may
obtain the release of their property
are American women who married
alien enemies, enemy diplomats,
aliens who were informed, citizens Of
new nations created from enemy terri
tory by the treaty Of peace, women Of
allied or ueutral countries who mar
ried enemy subjects, and Americans
who were forced TO remain in Ger

UTILIZING THAT HALF HOUR
Average Person VIII Be Surprised at
the Amount of Reading Which
1t Can Contain.

What I do venture to press upon
you is, that it requires no preterhu-
man force of will in any young man
or woman-unless household circum-
stances are more than usually vexa-
tious and unfavorable-to get at least
half an hour out of a solid busy day
for good and disinterested reading.
Some will say that this is too much
to expect, and the first persons to
say it, venture to predict, will be
those who waste their time most. At
any rate, If I cannot get half an hour,
will be content with a quarter. Now,
in half an hour I fancy you can read
Is or 20 pages of Burke: or you can
read one Of Wordsworth's master
pieces-say the lines on Tintern; or
say, one-t hird-if a scholar, In the orig
inal, and If not, in translation-of
book of the niad or the Aeneid. I
do not think that I am filling the half
hour too full But try for yourselves
what you can read In half an hour.
Then multiply the half hour by 365,
and consider what treasures you
might have laid by at the end Of the
year.-Lord Morley.

Starched fOrmality she he'd deemed
sufficient to crush the presumption of
any man wilted before his steady gaze,
his calm sternness. She turned APP
pealingly to her husband, who, hav-
ing held very unwilling silence at
her prior behest, came gladly to the
rescue.
81 had best deal with this man
alone, Elizabeth" He waited until she
left the room; then he blazed at Fitz-
hugh: "Your wife, whom you desert
ed, was here today"
"The woman is not my wife,"
s'Not your legal wife, you mean."
'sNor any other kind"
Scarcely had Fitzhugh uttered the
words, advancing with he knew not
what rash design, then he stopped,
turned back, and stood listening in
tently. Otis, thoroughly alarmed, rang
frantically for servant.
Fitzhugh crossed to the hail-door
and listened.
From somewhere above, unbridled
and spasmodic, though faint by the
distance, came the hysterical sobbing
of a girl. Kathleen
With an imprecation on his tongue,
he bounded up the staircase-just as
Noonan appeared In answer to the
summons. His coat clutched from be-
hind, Fitzhugh turned, jerked free and,
with single push of his fiat hand,
sent the butler reeling backward to
the hall below. He leaped up the few
remaining steps to the second floor,
strobe to door standing ajar and
knocked. The girlish weeping in the
room beyond was muff1ed. He knocked
again. The sobbing abated, stopped.
A third time he knocked and, receiv-
ing no response save silence, thrust
the door open, entered, closed the door
behind him.

seated in chair, weeping, with her
hands Historically covering her face;

Jumped up and started for an adjoin-
ing room, calling hastily to her maid.
And the next instant she was held,
struggling, palpitating, in the hot en-
brace of his arm, and his kisses show
cred upon her lips with a delirious
passion that scared as heated metal.
"Kathleen-sweathea you don't
believe-,Y You don't want me TO GO"
She squirmed in his arms, striking
at him with her fists, uttering inc0her-

The finger on which the engagement
and wedding rings are worn is anatom-
ically the weaker OF the ten. Pr
anists have to give the third finger

extensor muscle of the third finger is
attached by cross-slip to that of the

Thanks to the dexterity of his
French chauffeur, Fitzhugh was at
tacking his morning mail at twenty
minutes past ten. When running
through the fourth letter of the heap
his secretary had opened and laid out
for him he paused suddenly, then sat
violently back in his chair.

He meant the first million. While
with Kathleen that morning the
thought of it had occurred and re-oc-
Cured to him. but always at inoppor-
tune moments, and when finally the
right time had arrived it slumbered in
the ineshes of his mind.
"'I'll tell her on Wednesday," he con-
cluded and promptly was swallowed
up in the rush of the days business.
The boy handed him scrap of pa
per on which was written with lead
pencil:
st must see you at once.-Esther."
'sTell her 1 can't see her! - and he
erunched the paper between his fingers
and shot it angrily out an open win
dow. Before the lad reached the door
he checked him, less harshly, with:
iExplain to her. Tommy, that am ex-
Eremely busy, and ask her to call
again"
Dismissing the incident completely
from his mind, he gathered up the
kheaf Of letters. An alteration arose
IN the outer office. The door was flung
open. Esther entered.
Seeing the stenographer, she held
the door open.
Il want to see you alone, Daniel"
said Esther quietly.
