parliamentary committee of foreign af.

Italian foreign minister, at London
The note says that Italian public
opinion and the Italian parliament
look with disfaYor on the share of 10

an injustice and contend that the Ital-
ian share should not have been less
than % per cent, as England. which
was not invaded by the enemy and had
no greater losses than italy, is to re-
ceive % per cent. - ~
1t is further contended that Italy's
share should come Immediately after
that of France, which receives 50, per
cent, as France alone exceeded Italy's
losses. The note considers 1t absurd
to grant a share to Eefbia, whose
damages were. Jess than the value of

The note explains the Italian oppol

says, compete with Germany in the

soon joined Mrs. Grey and Charles,
who were on their way to the village
church.
Massive oaks lined each side Of the
drive, and had they tongues, they
could tell of many happy hour spent
beneath their knarled old arms, and
as the gray Spanish moss swished
back and forth it seemed to mourn
those by-gone scenes.
The sermon was not grand and elo-
Guent, but it went straight to the
hearts of it's hearers and never truer
hearts beat beneath the brOadcloth
coats of English lords, than did in
the breasts of these southern gentle
men.
A few days spent in roaming over
their childhood haunts, many promises
exchanged and Charles Winston turns
his back on his childhood home.
A cold, rainy season had set in, and
as short as our southern winter is,
and as mild as we are accustomed TO
think it, it soon makes itself felt per-
cerptibly Irma and Mrs. Grey had
exhausted all the reading matter with
in reach, had sewed till eyes were
heavy and read, and each was secretly
glad when night came, Mrs. Grey glad
for her early nap, and 1rma glad to
steal away to her room and lie awake
for hours, thinking of her young
friend, trying to picture his bright
face among those of the rough miners
and Mexicans.
Driving to the postoffice few days
later, Irma was handed a letter, on
opening it she found an urgent request
from her mothers sister to visit her
in distant state.
Irma was 10th to leave her happy
home and her mother, but both Mrs.
Grey and Miss Harper, her former
governess, insisted she needed the
change.
The next few weeks were Spent in
shopping and sewing and he village

CHAPTER II.
Mrs. Sheldon sat in her easy chair
before bright coal fire awaiting the
arrival of her niece; many things had
happened to-day to veX her; her
trusty old servant, David, had failed
her to-day, having a sudden attack Of
rheumatism, so she had no coach1nan;
and Roy, her incorrigible son had also
failed her, having gone off with a
hunting party, promising to be home
in time to meet his young cousin, now
night had fallen, train almost due, and
no one to meet the young stranger.
In the midst of such serious di-
lena, Mrs. Sheldon had actually been
bold enough to ask favor of one Of
her best friends, yet. the last one on
whom she would ordinarily have call
ed. DR.. Fitzgerald did all that was
needed, he administered dose of
antikamnia, and a promise to meet the
"dear child,' and bring her safely to
Mrs. Sheldon's arms. Her reveries
were soon broken by the sound Of
voices.
"Mrs. Sheldon, allow me to present
your niece" and turning she looked in
to the wistful eyes Of Irna.
DR.. Fitzgerald remained standing
and would have retired Immediately,

CHECKERS Of FATE
(By Virginia Bransford.)
CHAPTER I.

1t was a golden October evening,
though late in the year it was still
warm; the woods we're alive with
feathered songsters who had sought
refuge in this more southern cline.
Cape jessamines, and stately magnol-
las lent to the air perfume that was
delightful.
Here in this fair spot lived wealthy
planters with their queenly wives,
daughters and worthy sons. Fore
most among them being Captain Ed
ward Grey; here in his handsome home
he lived with his cultured wife, and
only child, 1rma. Like an old Feudal
Barron he lived, and his humble re-
tainers looked upon him more with
love than fear.
Here the family lived in comfort and
ease till yellow fever, the dread enc
my of our fair southland, took from
the home the fond father and hus-
band.
Retaining the services Of her trusted
overseed, and Irma's governess, Mrs.
Grey managed to live, hiding in her
heart the grief that time alone could
'assuage; and Irma, how shall best
describe her? Will description of her
golden hair, and deep violet eyes, and
queenly carriage suffice? l think not,
her principle charm lay more in the
expression Of her noble soul, than in
her physical charms; she was,
"Not warped by passion, awed by
rumor,
Not gay through pride, nor gay
through folly,
An equal mixture of good humor,
And sensible soft melancholy.
Has she no faults, Envy says, Sir?
Yes, she has one, I must aver, Sir,
When all the world conspires to
praise her,
The woman's deaf and does not
hear"
1rma's life had been an uneventful
one; her chief pleasure had been her
young friend Charles Winston, son of
her mothers dear old friend, who had
always been her neighbor.
1rma and Charles had been compan-
ions in merry escapades since their
early baby-hood days, had read to-
gether, and formed many plans for
the future as they reached youth and
she looked to him for the fulfillment
of her girlhood dreams.
Now dark cloud hung over the
horizon; Charles had become tired Of
the monotony of his quiet southern
home and was going West to seek his
fortune, and had come over to spend
the last Sunday with his friend.
Sunday morning dawned bright and
clear, and as lrma opened her eyes it
was with dull sad feeling, Of which
she could not account, but as Charles
whistle resounded through the hall,
she remembered with pang Of regret
this was their last Sunday together,
for many days.
Breakfast over, she went to her
room, and hastily donning dark blue
dress, which was easy to adjust, she
Woman's enterprise., 1921-09-16

placed for her in the bay window, and
he equally glad to act as her nurse.
He read himself hoarse while 1rma
scarcely heard a word he said.
That night she retired early, and
spent miserable night tossing from
side to side, dreaming wild dreams OF
her home in wreck, and of dire disaster
to her mother.
Mrs. Sheldon, going to her room
next morning, found her with fever.
Once more DR.. Fitzgerald was needed,
but 1rma pleaded so that old DR.. Sid
ney be called that Mrs. Sheldon con-
sented, and for several days his buggy
could be seen tiwce a day at the gate
Of the Sheldon home.
"Roy, how is your cousin this
morning?" asked DR.. Fitzgerald one
morning.
"She is very i'll, and am surprised
at mother with her usual good sense,
should have sent for that old fogy,
but it was all 1rma's doings, but she
is too i'll now to know anything that is
happening, and l am miserable about
her."
Long after Roy had gone, DR.. Fitz-
gerald sat buried in thought: 1rma
Grey had, by her proud Indifference,
attracted him more than the dozens
Of women who had courted his atten-
tions. in vain.
Polite, and courteous at all times, he
had managed to make many friends,
but had been dubbed woman hater,
a name he certainly did not deserve,
for he entertained the very highest re-
gard for women.
! He avoided 1rma as much as possi-
BILE, recognizing in her his ideal Of
perfect womanhood, and he was afraid
to trust his own heart.
One by one, the varying scenes of
his life came up before him, and he
groaned aloud over the great trouble
that had come so near wrecking his
life.
He called so vividly to mind the
morning, when boy, he had guided
his baby sisters footsteps to the
lawn, that she might be amused while
his mother was busy with some house.
hold task; he could plainly see now,
thru the vista Of years the lawn,
could recall just the position he had
placed the little Gypsy whole he stole
, off to a distant part of the lawn, in
answer to the call of some play mate,
and when his mothers voice was
heard calling them into tea, the child
could not be found.
Never would forget the terrible
days that followed; every means that
love, patience, and money could de-
wise were used, and yet no trace Of
the child could be found, she was as
completely lost as if the earth had
opened and swallowed her, and the
years had crept by with still no trace
of her.
! Judge Fitzgerald, holding court at
that time in the adjoin'ng city, was a
terror to evil doers, and no fear Of
any thing wrong happening to his wife
and children in their suburban home
occurred to him.
The news of his baby's sudden dis
