and Omaha. As l recall it now, it was
after the train had passed North
Platte that first became sensibly con-
sciOus, as you might say, of the fact
that the man in the opposite section Of
the sleeping-car had a little Pullman
table set up in front of him, and was
studying maps-and blue-prints. He
was rather efficient-lOoking fellow of
maybe thirty-twO or three, with dark
hair and eyes, and what Lisette would
have called a determined nose, and he
sported a beard and mustaches, nut
brown as to color, and neatly trimmed.
Farther along we met in the smoking
room, at a time when the stuffy little
den had no other occupants. Mr.. OPP
pOsite Sections only cigar turned out
to have broken wrapper, so natural
ly rendered my own pOcket-caSe. That
served to break the ice and we talked,
dribbling along from one commonplace
to another until finally BrOwn-beard

Now, ordinarily I'm apt to talk lot
too much about my own affairs-Tl
admit it; but this was one time when
l had a sort of hunch not to. So l
merely said:
81 saw you doing the same thing"
"Sure you did," he admitted cheer
fully. Then he told me his name
which l got as Bullion, or Bulletin, or
something like that-and said he was
a mining engineer, which was the rea-
son why he had asked me if wasn't
one.
Past that, the talk ran mostly upon
his profession, and since the mysteri-
Gus hunch was still nudging me, let
him have the floor, so to speak, 1gur-
ing chiefly myself-as u good listener.
Yes; We do run across some rather
queer propositions in our trade" he
said, after he had given me some sort
of an idea of what a mining engineers
job is like. I'm my own experience,
for example, the only sufe shot have
ever had-Or possibly ever will have

1t was up to me to bite, and, of
course, 1 did it.

his father and mother watched
tenderly by his bedside, hoping

changeable. The night before
he died he threw out his arms to
his loving mother and said: Il

was this way: A little over a year
ago l was on my way to Chicago with
a report that l had been making on
some properties in the Cripple Greek
district. In the Denver-Omaha Pull
man l fell in with a nice old gentle
man who had been buying himself a
gold brick in the shape of a flooded
mine. The mine had at one time been
a producer though not by any means
what you'd call a :bOnanzG' After a
rather extended dividend-paying period
Il don't know just how long, though
1t was some yearS-the luck changed,
as sometimes happens. In sinking and
drifting the operators had uncovered
another vein which was exceedingly
rich. Don't let me talk your arm Off"

swell, at about the time that they
stuck this new underlying vein, they
also struck water; so much of it as to
lead them to suspect that they had
tapped an underground lake. The old
gentleman wasn't exactly a wOOlly
sheep-in the Wall Street sense of the
term. He had owned stock in the mine
for long time, and it had been pay
ing him dividends, right along. So
naturally, after the new strike was an
nOunced, he was perfectly willing to
own more. l don't know what his in
vestment was, but he gave me to I'M
derstand that twas something like
half a million. In less than a month
after the deal was closed the mine was
drowned and went out of business"
"Still, 1 don't see your lost oppOr-
tunity," l threw in.

This appeared to be the end of our
rather lukewarm lOve-dream, and to
be really honest and abOveboard about
it, l am obliged to confess that it
didn't break as many bones for me as
| suppose it should have. Anyway, a
half-hOur or so after l had said good
by to Lisette 1 met Jack Downing;
and when he asked me if didn't want
to go with him and a bunch of the
fellows for little spin down the coast
of Maine In his motor cruiser, l fell
for the invitation so suddenly that he
hadn't a ghost of chance to back out,
If he had wanted to.
So, few hours beyond that touch
ing little scene at 1.-The ROckerie," you
may figure me, If you please, spinning
the wheel of one of the nattiest little
boats on the North shore, with a fresh
nor'easter blowing and the sea getting
up to give me the time of my young
life to hold the Guinevere to her
course, nor nor'east, half point east,
as we lifted the Shoals on our port
bow.
In such jolly good company as we
had aboard the stout ship Guinevere,
three full days elapsed before a
thought Of Percy or his joke ever en-
tered my head again; and it's a ten
to-One shot that / wouldn't have

mainder of the cruise if we hadn't

grel cur that followed the motor re-
pairman down to the wharf; a most
disreputable looking mongrel, at that,
but-by JOve! he had the magic mark
ings! Half of his face, measuring from
a line drawn straight down over the
tip of his nose, was black, and the 9TH
er half was dingy, dirty white.
So then l did little rapid figuring
on train schedules. If Percy had left
Washington as 1 knew he was plan
ming to, my diplomatic cousin should
have been, at that figuring moment
just about due in San Francisco. That
being the case, or the likelihood, I tod
died up to the telegraph Office and sent
a message, addressing 1t in care Of the
captain of whatever might be the next
steamer due to sail for ports in China.
All l said was: "Your letter was as
funny as an hour in a dentists chair.
Bon voyage to you"
Night found US still tied to the
ROckland wharf; and just as we were
getting up from dinner in the yachts
saloon, here came a boy with a tele-
gram. The wire was from Percy, and
1t said:
Don't be complete fool. 1t was
no joke at all. Ask my lawyer"
Even then, didn't go off at half
cock, though 1 have often been called
an impulsive jackass. The thing was
still too ridiculous to bite very hard.
But farther along In the evening, when

especially when it was showed in upon
me that l really did owe it to Lisette

we have paid little or no attention to the DEGREES
of the Paris dressmakers," observes the New Haven
journal, 'that longer skirts must take the place of
the short skirts this winter and spring. We have la
bored under the mans notion that these were things
beyond the ken and business of the sterner sex. and
were strictly matters to be determined in the sewing
room and at the tea table.

suits and gowns under the new styles. Expressed in
terms of dollars and cents this runs up into multi
millions in trade, and starts things all along. the line,
down to the farmer, until the picture conjured up Is
one of joyous contentment and happiness all over the
American lot.
-Thus mere RAN finds his faIlacious notions of life
corrected at the spigot and bung, and, more than that,
he finds that the short skirt is not after all evidence
of thejr new found independence. While men have
been wondering where the rising skirt and the lower
ing bodice were to stop, conjuring pictures of an
earlier and simpler Japan, as a sort of study in fem
mime eccentrcity, economic law has been at work
upon fashion and subjecting it to cold philosophy. As
the years roll by, it will be comforting to know that
high or low skirts will reveal the law of supply and
demand at work as it operates upon the habits of the

He is unique in that he will not rent his flats to fam
lies without children Balsley has gained reputation
and blessings wherever his policy Is known. River
side mothers call him the most human, landlord in
Ohio.
While Balsley has received gratitude in the form of
words, for several years past, from mothers VINO nave
children, reward has come to him in more substantial
manner in the testimony Of one grateful mother who
planted ten perfectly lovely soul satisfying kisses. five
upon either cheek of the confused and blushing land
lord That was testimony Of approval worth while.
Balsley was electioneering in behalf of his candi-
dacy for the local city council when the experience
occurred, and appealed to a strange woman voter for
her support. When she learned that Balsley was the
famous friend Of the children, she told him he was a
great and good man and kissed him for herself and
nine other mothers who were not present but would

This is the first landlord to be thus honored for dis
