 As he descended the stairs and reached the main floor of the station his glance caught the gaze of a man starring at him intent1y. The man was slender and dark, dressed de- gently enough in a gray suit and soft hat and wore a small black mustache. All of these facts Peter took note of in the one glance, ar rested by the strange stare of the other, which fingered while Peter glanced away and went on. Peter who had an excellent memory for faces, was sure that he had never seen the man before, but after he had taken a few steps it occurred to him that in the strangers eyes he had noted the startled distention of surprise and recognition. And so he stopped and turned, but as he did so the fellow dropped his gaze sud denly. and turned and walked away. The incident was curious and rather interesting.
 If Peter had had more time he would have sought out the fellow and asked him why he was staring at him, but there were only a few mo- ments to spare and he made his way out to the concourse, where he found his gate and descended to his train. Here he ensconced himself comfort ably in the smoking car, and was presently shot under the Hudson river Gas he afterward discovered) and out into the sunshine of the flats of New Jersey.

 After a while the mood of depres- sion, recurrent moments of which had come to him in New York with diminishing frequency, passed into one of contem plation, of calm, like those which had followed his nights of passion on the Dnieper, and at last he closed his eyes and dozed. Visions of courts and camps passed through his mind-of brilliant uniforms and jeweled decorations; of spacious pol ished halls, resplendent with ornate mirrors and crystal pendant chande- Hers; of diamond coronets, of silks and satins and powdered fiunkies And then other visions of gray fig ures crouched in the mud; of ram coming out of the dark and of onin- ous lights over the profile of low hills; of shrieks: of shells and cries of terror; of his cousin, a tall, beard ed man on a horse III d rdFlne way ing an imperious arm: of confusion and moving thousands, the creak of sanitars, the groans of men calling upon mothers they would never see And then with a leap backward over the years. the vision Of a small man huddled against the wall of a court war. being knouted until red stains appeared on his gray blouse and then | mingled faintly in the mist and the rain, until the small man sank to the full length of his imprisoned arms, like one crucified.

advice, attentions and gifts on folks who may be longing for just the op- posite from what we give them?
 If we would stop making gestures and do a little investigating, tflings might easily be better. If we would only remember that those we most love and adore are still separate en- titles and distinct individuals, we might make things easier not only for them but for ourselves.
 Since we cannot thoroughly know others, we must cultivate tranquility and tolerance. We must be calm enough to let each person work out his own salvation and tolerant enough to believe that he is trying to do it. And then if we have in our hearts the tender, self1ess devotion which is ready at call, we shall ap- proximate the understanding for which we all long.

 It is indeed a grim thing that we humans are so hidden from each other by our own impotence to put out in action our impulses of kind ness.
 With all the best intentions in the world, we hurt those we would give much to protect and fail those we long to aid.
 There isn't much malicious cruelty in the world But that doesn't pro- tect us from the stings Of the unin- | tended arrow.
