MRS. GROUSE GETS INTO
TDnItnI


Mrs. Grouse is one OF the little
people of the Green Forest who al
ways mind their own business. She
never interferes with other people,
and so she is very much respected
and very much liked by her neigh
bors. But Mrs. Grouse has her trou-
bles. oh, my, yes. Most of us do.
In the summer she has to watch out
for her large family, and a large
family always means a great deal OF
worry. In the fall, men with dread
full guns are forever hunting for her,
and she has to be always on the
watch to keep out of their way. In
the winter food is sometimes scarce
and she has to go hungry. And sum-
mer and winter she had always to
watch out for Reddy and Granny Fox,
Mr.. Goshawk and Hooty the Owl.
All OF them are very fond of grouse
for dinner. The coming Of Old Man
Coyote to the Green Forest had
added to her troubles.
But Mrs. Grouse is very smart, and
none of them ever had got more than
one of her tail feathers. She felt
quite able to take care of herself so
far as they were concerned. The
thing that troubled her most just now
was getting enough to eat. You see,
the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows were covered deep with
snow, and food was very, very scarce.
She was able to get about very well,
for Old Mother Nature had given her
q splendid new pair of feather snow
shoes, so that she could walk on the
snow much easier than some of her
neighbors. In fact, Mrs. Grouse
rather liked the snow when it was
not so deep that she could find moth
ing to eat.
You see, Mrs. Grouse is not at all
lond of sleeping in trees. She much

could crafty her whims, until she
had disposed Of every piece. He knew
because he knew Marcia.
He heard the click as she switched
off the light after gloating over that
rug. He visioned her satisfied smile,
the pleased look in her eyes-the look
she always had when she had circum-
vented him. He heard her step. 1t

Still John Aldrich did not speak.
although he wet his lips and they
moved soundlessly. But after a mo-
ment he rose heavily, like a man
lifting a burden, and with bloodshot
eyes and sagging shoulders followed
her into their sleeping room.
Il think you are bad to your wifey
o act like this" Marcia said as she
cuddled down into the bedclothes,
shivering a little. DO hurry! I'm
SO sleepy" A long yawn testified to
the truth of her remark.
John felt as if he never could speak
TO her again. He visioned his price

his cabinet, the plans she had laid
to dispose of it, the purchase Of the

He took her hand In his, but when
she pressed his fingers there was no
return and she pettishly drew hers
away.
In the morning John still kept
silence. He did not dare speak. He
was afraid of what he might say in
his anger. The iron had entered his
very soul. Yet the thought that per-
haps he had been the one at fault
persisted. Marcia's good-by kiss was
not returned, neither did he reply to
her "good-by," repeated twice:
Good by, John, good-byl"
All day at the office he argued
with himself He had married Marcia,
he had promised TO make her happy
to the best of his ability. to love and
cherish her, to endow her with all
his worldly goods-did that mean his
china almost Historically his mind
considered the question. He had tried
to be a good husband, but had he
tried hard enough? Was it not
sign OF selfishness that her act. the
selling of his precious cup, should
make him feel almost a murderer?
Was she right? Had he no license
to care for little Kenneth, educate
him, if to do so he had to deny her,
his wife? Were all his ideas, his
promises wrong? Had he a distorted
idea OF life. not she?
Marcia loved pretty things, but all
women did She loved a nice home
nicely furnished And Marcia was

and speak, of goodness. There was

other when they walked. A royal
proclamation was issued that no man
could wear a shoe with a toe wider
than six inches. This stopped many
fights.
The way fashions "catch on" shows
how strong the follow the Header in

Men are poking lot Of fun at
women's styles. But men have the

A HUSBAND TO MARCIA
By CAROLYN BEECHER

In his den John Aldrich looked
things squarely in the face. He had
told Marcia that selling his precious
cup was the last straw" He felt
that it was and that never again
could he go on as he had for all the
years he had been married to Marcia.
After bit he wondered if by any
possibility he had been at fault
wholly at fault, and Marcia guiltless.
He wondered if all his ideals of living
were wrong; the distorted ideas of a
man whose nerves and overwork had
left him with blurred vision, unable
to see things clearly.
For hours he sat there, his head
buried in his arms. Marcia raped,
he made no answer. After a while
she called sharply. Still he made no

GRIFFITH TO DRAFT
IRISH CONSTITUTION
Returns to Dublin for Meeting
of the Dali Eireann
To-day.
TO TEST PARTY STRENGTH
Cabinet Will Remain in Power
Irrespective of Results
of Ballots.

! Dublin, Feb. %.
| Arthur Griffith, President of the Dali
Eireann; e. ]. Duggan, Secretary for
| Home Affairs, and Mr.. Kennedy. who
will help draft the Irish Constitution,
returned from London this morning ap-
parently pleased with the results of
net on the three months truce decision
of the Ard Fheis. Mr.. Griffith later con-
ferred with Michael Collins, head of the
Provisional Government and this after
noon the Cabinet was in session, with
Mr.. Collins attending. Tomorrow s
meeting of the Dali, which ostensibly
will be concerned with the semi-annual
appropriations, is more likely to be the
scene of discussion bearing on the visit
to London, the coming elections and the
Constitution.
There are indications that a test of
strength between De Va1era's followers
and the Free Staters will occur during
the session, the Republicans seeking for
campaign purposes to nullify the pro-
visionalists' small majority on some
question, though the Griffith Cabinet will
remain in power for three months ir-
respective of the results of any ballots.
To-day the Republican army formally
took over the guarding of the Bank of
Ir eland. which British soldiers have done
for several generations. 1t was another
outward sign of the crystalization of
Ireland's statehood. Shortly after noon
great crowd filled the College Green,
highly representative of Ireland. and
watched the newly outfitted soldiers in
their green uniforms. carrying rifles with
fixed bayonets, take the places Of the
British troops who left earlier. The
incident harks back to Grattan's parla-
ment, which for the brief spell from
1888 to 1901 held sessions in the build
ing.
Another incident Of the day was the
seizure of many rifles, revolvers and
rounds of ammunition from the Clonmel
Constabulary barracks. in the district
where brigade commandant recently
repudiated the Dali. A large number
Of persons participated, apparently with
no opposition, and blocked traffic, broke
down telephone communication and
helped themselves, forcing the con-
stabulary to help load the cars and
trucks.
THE NEW YORK HERALD correspondent
is informed that the. army chiefs en-
gagged actively in countering the Clonmel
disloyalty expect to be able to publish
the results of their investigation shortly.
The area which lies to the south OF Tip
perary is called the BLACK spot of the
army. 1t is obviously part of a compre-
hensive scheme to equip a large group.
John p. Hayes of the Cork Mems So
ciety, 30S West Fifty-ninth street. New
York, has cabled his felicitations to Mr..
Collins, urging the support of all Irish

PLAN TO CLEAR CITY'S

Moses Fl. Grossman Suggests
Creation of Judicial Reserue.

ALBANY, Feb. 27.-Creation OF "judi-
cial reserve" to try criminal cases in
Greater New York with view of clean
ing up over crowded court calendars was
suggested to Gov. Miller to-day by for
mer Judges Moses II. Grossman, mem
ber Of the committee on criminal law Of
the New York County Bar Association.
Under Judge Grossman's plan the Gov
ernor would be empowered to appoint
from fifteen to twenty-five leading law
yers, who are now Officers Of the court.

emergency and try criminal cases.
The plan proposes passage by the Leg
islature of an act giving the Governor
power to make such appointments.
With such q judicial reserve as
suggest" said Judge Grossman. "The
criminal community will know that 1t no
longer can have a free hand"

GOV. MILLER AGAINST

Foreshadows Veto of Measure

Albany, Feb. "a.
Gov. Miller is not prepared to accepi
for this State the principle of an indus
trial court as outlined in the Duell-
Miller bills before the Legislature. He
said to-day the proposal goes too far.
These are the anti-strike measures that
have stirred labor.
While the Governor did not indicate
what action he would take il the bills
are passed by the Legislature. his state
ment made it pretty clear he would veto
them. In view OF his antagonism there
is not much hope that favorable action
will be taken in the Senate and As
sembly.
The Governor said he had no hand in
the preparation of the bills and was not
consulted about their introduction, but
he has given much time to their study
and If sent to him by the Legislature
he would feel compelled to examine them
with great care.
II have no hesitation" he added. "in
saying that from the examination which
am of the belief-and the more study
them the more my conviction grows
that they go great deal farther in the
direction of establishing State control
over labor and industry than the people
of this State are prepared to accept.
"One of the fundamental objections
to the bills is that they undertake to
set up judicial machinery to adjudi-
cate on questions which do not think
are subjects of adjudication: for ex-
ample, the question of wages. That is
4 matter of contract. 1t can't prop
erly be made the matter of judicial de-
termination according to any settled or
known principles of law.
II doubt very much that the State
can undertake to compel people to
work for less wages than they are will
ing to work for and do not think that
a judicial tribunal can adjudicate the
kind of questions which must neces-
sarily be left to contract.
What the State can properly do, it
seems to me, in the way of helping in
the settlement of industrial disputes,
is along the line of endeavoring to Sc
cure fair dealing to prevent abuses, to
set up machinery for mediation and
arbitration, and / think perhaps the
greatest thing II can do is to secure
exact information OF the facts involved
in these disputes 80 that the public may
know what the facts are"

Union Head Says Employers
Refused to Meet Men.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 27.-John L..
Lewis. international president Of the
United Mine Workers of America, to-day
notified President Lee Hall OF the Ohio
Mine Workers that the joint wage con-
ference. scheduled for March 2 at Cleve-
land, had been called off.
The proposed conference, for which
invitations were issued to operators OF
tie central competitive field by the
United Mine Workers. was abandoned
because the operators refused to par
ticipate.
1t Is unlikely that another attempt will
be made by union officials to confer
with the operators. Hall declared. as
the unions had twice sought conferences
and each time met rebuff.
