out so much as a look Every time
the bell rang she thought it might be
the florist, though she did not admit
this to herself. Evening found her a
little blue. She had not even had d
telephone message from Tom. 1t was
the first Valentines day in her life on
which she had not received some sort
of gift. s-@,
When Tom arrived she admitted him
with her usual CHEEKY smile, but In
her hand she held, open al If she had
been studying, a volume Of DR.. LIE
Bon's psychology.
"You're lucky to be sitting by a com
fy fire and not have to go out to
some silly party or other the way every
one else is to'ight," said Tom as he
put down his coat and hat.
That was another Of Pegy's inner
most grievances today. Tom had
asked her to 60 to the valentine hop
at the club. Every m was going and
the girls had all been discussing their
frocks-and their beaux. Peggy had
just held aloof and seemed bored.

she said, not too convincingly, the
young man thought. Without the aid
Of books. he was able. reasonably ae-
curately, to analyze Peggy's moods.
An Unusual silence had fallen be-
tween the Two. The logs cracked On
the hearth. The wind whistled about
the easement windows. The big clock
licked.
Il see you are still enjoying your
studies, Peggy" Tom observed after
a bit.
"Oh, I'm just crazy about it. I am
thinking Of going to Doctor Burton to
have him tell me what l am best suit
ed for in the world. He is a marvel
ous psychologist and can tell at a
glance what you are suited for in the
world Peggy said, her eyes begin
ming to dance.
Il can tell you with my eyes shut"
Tom ventured.
"Oh-Tom, you are always so frivo-
lous. | know what you think all WON

individual. l will not be herded with

Hear! Heart" Knocked Tom.
Peggy did lot seem to have her
usual spontaneous enthusiasm for the
subject in hand. Tom saw 1t.

Indeed not. Mothers friend, Mrs.
Armstrong, had a party this afternoon
and gave mother a bunch of the floral
decorations to bring home with her."
There was a touch Of asperity In
Peggy's tone at the mention of valen-
tine.
"Oh, Of course, 1 forgot for the mo-
ment that you could not accept any
thing O. common as q valentine. I'm
sorry"
Tom you annoy me with your
sarcasm" Peggy told him, pouting.
Tom arose and deliberately sat down
close beside her On the great couch.
"And you amuse me by your effort to
be an individualist all of q sudden,
Peggy"
Peggy moved a little away from him.
"Oh, I amuse you, do IT.
Tom followed her. He took her
hand in his. Yes, you amuse me,
You interest me-you make me adore
you and love you beyond my power to
keep it from you any longer, Peggy"
He held her hand and compelled her
to look at him.
Her eyes dropped under his deter
mined expression.

What Happened When tho Scrap

To THE New YORK HERALD: Your
correspondent "a. II. j." is a bit hazy
in explaining what happened when the
Junkman's iron tires stood in the brook
that drained the copper smelter.
1t Is not melting point that determines
what happens when a metal Is i'm
mersed in a solution OF the salts uf
another metal. 1t is, on the other hand.
the characteristic known as solution ten
sion. II melting point alone determined
the action of metal where would mer-
curry be found7 Every one knows that
mercury is molten at ordinary tempera-
lures Zinc, for example. is far moro
easily attacked by reagents than mer-
curry. and yet 1t has a melting point
of 415 degrees centigrade. according to
the Encyclopedia Britannica.
am very much afraid that II Mr..
Parry tries to get copper by dipping
the blade of knife into oil of vitriol,
according to "A. III. J.'s' suggestion, he
will get only stream OF hydrogen bub-
bles and not trace OF copper. In
fact. II he finds how to get copper In
that way and he can get 1t in any
quantity he can make far bigger for

Of vitriol Is just plain sulphuric acid

1t makes stern demands for integrity
and precision on the part OF the
judge in tournament contest. Pre-
eminently country game, it should
be better known in the city. because
1t takes SO little room to play and
because the expense attached to 1t is
Insignificant.
Men seem to get most enjoyment
out of games in which the arm and
eye work together, the eye Judging
and the arm executing. That is all
there is to fielding and batting and
pitching in baseball, all there is to
golf and tennis, and all there is to
quoits. 1t may not have the elab-
crate technic which belongs to the
more widely followed games, but
quoits has the natural interest which
goes with all contests in which a
high degree OF skill and muscular CO.
ordination is possible.

To THE New York HERALD: The
speech OF Timothy Healy Of the station

American. Attacking and belittling the
President Of tho United States Is going

Horseshoe Pitching.

Horseshoe or quoit pitching has
been played In the United States
since Colonial times; 1t has kept a
steady popularity, and when the
national tournament opens on August
% at Des Moines at the Iowa State
Fair contestants will appear from
almost every State in the Union.
1t will not matter IL they have not
taken part in tournament for
twenty years provided their arms
and eyes have stayed in training.
Horseshoe pitching Is probably the
most conservative, unchanging game
that Americans play. AS in the case
Of cricket, an old timer can 60 back
to II and be sure that the lapse Of
years has not developed new game
the rules'of which confuse him.
There are variations in the game,
to be sure. Some players will have
nothing to do with the iron casting
properly known as a quot; they in
sist the game should be played with
tctual horseshoes. And quoits as
played at the Scotch games is a
strenuous affair, in which heavy rings
are thrown over a long court.
In its essentials, however, the game
Is always the same. It's whole OBJ
iect Is accuracy Of pitching. It's
chief excitement is the ringer, and

DR.. Sun Again Power in China.

Two official announcements received
PROMISING indications of the end of
the period of turbulence in that coun-
try. Indeed, they contained the best
news that has come out of China
since the outbreak OF the civil war
precipitated by the clash between
the armies of General WI PEI-FU Of
the central provinces and General
CHANG Tso-LIN, the military leader
Of Manchuria. In one OF these an
nouncements DR.. SUN YAT-sEN says
that peace reigns again between the
North and South, and in the other the
Republican Cabinet at Pekin declares
that President Ii YuAN-HUNG is will
ing to resign in favor of DIR. SUN
YAT-sEN IL the Parliament will ap-
prove such action.
The forces of DIR. Sun YAT-sEN
were practically the only army that
remained active in China after Gen
eral WI had driven General CHANG's
disorganized forces back into Man
churia. DR.. Suns army was de-
feated by the North China troops
under General WI some time ago.
When 1t failed to hold Canton 1t re-
treated into southwestern China and
carried on a guerrilla warfare in the
avowed interest OF the South China
republic. DR.. SUN himself fed to
Shanghai and his army Seemed lead
erless. From his announcement,
however, 1t would appear that he re-
tained sufficient control over 1t to
bring about it's rehabilitation.
The rather remarkable feature OF
the situation is that DR.. Sun, the
fugitive, should again become the
central figure in the plans for the or
ganization Of united China. Despite
the fact that DR.. Sun championed the
cause OF the Manchurian leader,
CHANG Tso-LIN, 1t appears that Gem
eral WI now favors DR.. Sun for the
Presidency In preference to Ii YUAN
HUNG, whom he practically inducted
into Office. General WIS split with
the President is due to difference Of
opinion regarding patronage and the
QUESTIONED a. /strong central govern
ment. H grees with Or. SrN's
present pd( Is because they repre-
sent the principles for which he en-
tered the civil war; these are Par
lament free from outside interfer-
ence, government for the prov
inces and the conversion OF the pro-
vincial armies into labor battalions
that will put aside the sword and
WELD the hoe.
The point is that General WI has
discovered that the Pekin Govern
ment cannot survive with III YUAN
Buro as President. Moreover, he
secs that real union between the
North and South cannot be brought
about under the present conditions;

A New Senator Starting Right.

Senator REED of Pennsylvania, an
ex-service man, just appointed to the
Senate, made speech in the SEN
ate yesterday afternoon in opposition
10 the bonus. He said that while he
sympathized with the soldiers with
whom he served in France he did not
believe the country was in position
to stand for bonus at this time. He
has been counted for the bonus right
along.
Senator REED closed by saying that
he was unwilling to pass the buck TO
President HANDING and therefore took
occasion to say at this time that he
desired to announce his position on
the measure without waiting for any
action on the part of the President.
This new Senator from Pennsyl-
vania shows that he has a sensitive
appreciation of the country's flnan-
cial situation and sets fine example
tc the older Senators who in their
own political selflshness show no con-
sideration for the President.

His Hundredth Birthday.

OF all the Americans who have
lived to be 100 years old we doubt
whether any in our history has a
better record for work, service and
versatility than JOHN A. STEWART,
who begins his second century
to-day
As youth Mr.. STEWART attended
Columbia College, but he left there
in 1S40, without finishing the course,
to take part in the great adventure of
building the Erie Railroad from Pier
mont to Goshen. After two years as
an engineer in the construction corps
Mr.. STEWART became clerk in the
New York city Board of Education
and remained there until 1850, when
he joined the New York Life Insur-
ence Company as an actuary.
He organized the United States
Trust Company in 1853 and he has
been with it as secretary, president
or chairman of the board for sixty
nine years! 1t was as head Of this
company that Mr.. STEWART, In the
second Cleveland Administration. or
ganized a syndicate for the purpose
of replenishing the Governments
gold supply by taking s50,ooo,oO0 of
rev bonds.
In his spare time, besides serving
on half dozen important boards,
Mr.. STEWART has acted as a trustee
of Princeton, and he was Its presi-
dent in the period between WOODROW
WILSON'S resignation and DR.. HIB-
pEN's election.
AS Mr.. STEWART attended his Office
faithfully until year ago he has
record OF eighty-one years of work,
beginning at Is and ending at 90.
This is a score that should satisfy
almost anybody. The question Is:
Did Mr.. STEWART accomplish so much
because he lived so long. or did he
live so long because he did so much?
Every reader who wonders should
try century Of activity.

Rarest Rug in the World.
Earliest Piece Of Pile Weaving tc
Como Out Of Asia.
From Arts and Decorations.

A rug that Is dated Is more valuable
than one that is not, and because o'ss
knowledge OF early weaving is so meager
the earlier the date the more valuable
the rug. A date subsequent to 1850
does not add much to the worth OF a
rug. while a date In the eighteenth CEN
tury might double Il; seventeenth
century date would be sure to do so.
and IL we could find another rug OF the
sixteenth century earlier than the Ar
debiI Mosque carpet its value over an
undated piecs OF equal merit In other
respects might easily be threefold.
Inscriptions add to the value Of a rug
in proportion as thcy give information
concerning tho place or character OF the
weaver: but as most inscriptions are
merely verses from the Koran or more
often from some Persian poet we do
not often get much help from that
source.
More important still as source Of
historical information Ia the character
OF the design. To the practiced eye Il
can tale unfold and sometimes ele-
vate an ordinary looking rug TO peak
of eminence For example. there is In
the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Berlin
a little rug that would not get bid OF
$40 II displayed for sale IN the window
OF a New York department store. Yet
II Is beyond price, and the museum att
thorities even refused TO allow II to be
loaned to the Metropolitan Museum. the
