FATAL FLAW IN HER BLUFF
Dllatory Young Woman Had over
looked One important Point, and
II Spoiled the Whole Thing.

She had Just discovered u new way
10 fix her hair, way that took at
least half an hour longer than usual,
and the result wns that she was un.
usually late that morning. All the
way down on the eur she cudgeled
her brain for satisfactory excuse.
but all the stock phrases sounded too
wenk, No she finally gave up In de-
spair. Halfway down, however. she
saw two fire.ruined houses with one
lone hose wagon standing In front and
crowd Of curious visitors gazing ut
the wreck. "Ahw she thought, "this
IN good enough excuse for anyone !"
Arriving at the office. she did not
even give the boss time to comment
on her late arrival, but burst excited.
ly In the room crying: "Oh. | saw
the biggest fire Two or three houses
were burned down clear 10 the ground
und the people We're standing around,
aud the hose was across the track"
etc, etc. etc. As she saw u strange,
incredulous look on the boss face she
elaborated the story until one would
think Il was a second Chicago fire.
At last when she stopped for breath,
aud started to take her hat on with a
sclfsatished. well.fooled- look. the
boss picked up the morning paper and
quietly said: "Yes. that happened

BLUFFED HIS WAY H0MEWARD
War Veteran, Stranded In China, FL
nally Got Back 70 the States
on His Nerve.

Earl Stanley, young American war
hero and world traveller, walked boldly
up the gangway leading to the China
mall liner, China, while the vessel was
at Hongkong, presented his passports
TO the proper authorities, picked out
convenient officers stateroom and
deposited his two sultcases. This
done, he picked out a deck chair
where he could take In his new sur
roundlngs and proceeded to make
himself at home and comfortable.
For a period Of 4s hours young
Stanley enjoyed the hospitality Of the
vessel without any interference from
the officers Of the China. Then he was
asked where his ticket was, who he
was, whittier he was going and lot
OF other questions
To the first interrogation he non
chalantly told his interviewer that
he did not have ticket calling for
his passage, what his name was, and
that he lived In Pasadena, Cal, with
San Francisco as his port OF bidding
adieu to the China. He also yolun-
teered the information that he was
q student at Occidental college before
the travelling bug entered his head.
Stanleys chances Of reaching his
desired destination were slim, as he
would be elected from the vessel at
one Of the nearby ports, when Capt
J. q. Daily and Robert Pitt, travel
ing on the craft. appeared as happy
mediums. After hearing Of Stanley's
embarrassment they quickly settled
the matter by arranging to pay his
passage.
Stanley was with the aviation corps
during the war aud later started ON
his juunt around the world. He suf.
fered financial reverses when Hong
kong was reached and was forced to
make the last link Of his trip by the
method described.-San Francisco

II Is strange, yet stimulating ex-

had made the two provinces n Relsch-

Today Blsmarck's work is undone
gone, even from Germany Itself, is
the black-whlte-red flag; gone are the
Prussan officers and officials, the red

mans now call II, Wnhelmlan) scale,
In the familiar square blue German
letter boxes, I'm the neat blue street
signs which have been left standing
with neat new French sign affixed
above or beneath. No doubt the minor
officials have been but little changed.
The village station master and the
postman have but doffed their German
insignia TO don It's more easy-flttlng
