Long ago Mir. Shaw had left the 6eld to Violet and with a curt shrug had turned his back and stood look Ing out over the cove, stroking his chin collectively.

 At these significant words the agita- tiOn of Aunt Jane was extreme. Was it possible that Mir. Tubbs was 'declar- ing himself in the presence of others and was a response demanded from herself-would his sensitive nature, so lately wounded by cruel suspicion, in- terpret her silence as fatal to his hopes? But while she struggled be- tween maiden shyness and the fear of crushing Mir. Tubbs, the converse tiOn had swept on.
 "Mr. Shaw" said Miss Browne. you have heard Mir. Tuhbs, in the interest of the expedition, literally consent to reduce his claim by one-half. Doubt less, if only in a spirit of emulation, you will attempt to match this con- duct by canceling our present agree ment and cOnsenting to another cred iting you with the former sixteenth share of MT. Tubbs."
 Don't do it, Shaw-hold the fort, old bOy!" broke in Cuthbert Vane. T say, Miss Browne. this is a bally shameT
 Miss Browne had always treated the prospective Lord Grasmere with dis tinguished pOlitenesS. Even now her air was mild, though lofty.
 'Afr.

Your devotion to Mir. Shaw has a romantic ardOr which 1 cannot but admire. But permit us also our enthusiasm for the perspicacity of MT. Tubbs, to which we owe the wealth now within our grasp"

 Imagine the young man lowing first to mother when asking a girl to dance.
 We'll, that's what they do in Italy. according to Miss Margaret Reilly, of Kansas City, with her mother, Mrs. Matthew Reilly, who has just return ed from f1vemonths' tour of eleven European countries
 Miss Reilly was tremendously inn pressed with the manners of the young men of Italy. She said:
 "Of course, I don't think the ItaI- ian men or boys-or any of the Euro pear men-are equal to ours, but the men of Italy certainly have wonder full manners.
 ''The young Italian men show so much respect to the mothers of the girls they ask to dance. They always rise and bow in the presence of older women.
 "They also show deference to the older men.
 'T think the continental custom of men tipping their hats to each other is a very fine form of courtesy.
 ''The European man, however, lacks many things the American possesses and, after all. the American really is the best type"

POPE SEES NO REVOLUTION
 ONLY CHANCE
Policy of Holy See Will Not Be Affected By Italian Government Change.

Rome, Nov. 3-(By the A. P.)
 Pope Plus gave intense interest
 to every phase of the armed but
 eaceful revolution in Italy which
 brought the Fascist into power.
 During all the recent exciting days
 in which the older politicians
 passed from the scene and the
 black shirted followers of Musso-
 ness received information every
 hour from the Vatican secretaries,
 ever repeating the desire that
 bIoodshed might be avoided.
 A prelate, who upon viewing the Rome remarked that '''the revolution had been successful was rebuked by the Pope.
 "It is not a revolution, it is merely a change of government" the Pope is reported to have said.
 While no official comment is ob- tainable at the Vatican regarding the advent of Mussolini to power those close to the Pontiff say that the policy of the Holy See will not be affected by a change in the political life of Italy The Vatican policy remains one of dignity, silence and aloofness.
 Pope Is Interested.
 The interest of the Pope in the poli- tical crisis was quickened when the Fascistic adjourned their campaigns at Milan. The resignation of the Facta government was SurpflSe to the Holy See, which had only little while before received with approval the information that a state of seize in Italy had been promulgated. In the Vatican this was taken as an indi- cation of the governments strength. The Kings refusal to sign the decree was said to have caused disa ppOint- ment to the Holy See, which inter preted Victor EmmanuePs action as a sign of weakness.
 As the Fascist movement gather ed force opinion in the Vatican was modified and it was recognized that the importance of the movement had been estimated.
 His Holiness manifested great con- cern last Tuesday when groups of Fas- cisti and Communists c.ashed near the Vatican gardens.
 That afternoon when the victorious black shirts swar1ned in triumph over the city the Pope stood at a window at the extreme lett corner of the Vatican, from where he could see thousands of Fascist descending Pin clan hill He watched the vast nov ing concourse only a few minutes and then returned to his study
 The Pontiff looked with satisfac- ton upon the recent speech deliver ed at Naples by Mussolini in which what authority and power the church wielded throughout the world and what a benefit it will mean to Italy that Rome is the seat of the Holy See. Another source of contentm ent to the Vatican is the fact the six members of the popular party, gen. orally known as the Catholic party are included in MussolinIs cabinet. These six are two ministers and four under secretaries Of state
