The Pope took occasion on numer-
Gus instances to express his view
thoroughly on some political and So
cial questions. EARLY in 1890, he sent
a letter to an Italian bishop urging
the Catholic priests to work intelli-
gently and energetically against what
the Pope characterised as the dan
gerous doctrine of the socialists" He
repeatedly denounced immodesty in
indecency OF fashion. On another oc-
ca sion q circular was issued by his
direction to diplomats accredited to
the holy see asking them to add to
the invitations to oficial receptions
note requesting women toavotd ex-
cessively decolete gowns.
The Pope declared in an address to
the sacred college that the world waa
amicted with five great plaques
vhich he enumerated as the negation
Of authority. hatred among brothers
thirst for. pleasure, disgust for work
and forEetfulness Of the supernatural
objects Of life. These evils, he as
serted, could be overcome only by the
aid Of the gospel.

gaining the wish nearest to his wicked
heart, Prince Carlo stopped.
How do you know what wishY
he asked.

replied Thorny Witch. "You would
wed the Princess Della, and you wish
TO obtain the diamond star that be-
longs to your brother, and both OF
these you may have if you will do as

"Gold?" repeated the crafty Prince
"How much gold do you want?"
"Half Of that which is stored in your
fathers stronghold" replied the greedy
Witch.
"But it is not yet nine" replied the
Prince; not until my fathers death
shall I come into possession of his
wealth. What you ask is impossible"
"Not if you listen to me-" saic
Thorny Witch. "In two days you
brother will not only possess the dia

That night in the big hall wher

THE SCENE ALLEN DRAKE
CAREFULLY STAGED

Even Allen Drake, with all his ar
rogance, does not dispute Lillian when
her tone holds the fnality which we
heard in it as she asserted that l was
going into the library with the rest OF
them. That he was furious guessed,
but his answer was icily Indifferent.
'As you WISH" he said curtly. Then
he turned and walked down the stairs
without waiting for the rest OF us. My
father followed with a troubled look at
me, and | knew that he had read
subtle hint of danger for me IN Allen
brakes demur at my presence. But
Lillian put her lips to my ear and
whispered gleefully:
That's one for Mamas darling pet.
And isn't he biting the atmosphere
/ could not suppress a chuckle at the
characterization, though | was panic
stricken for fear Mr.. Drake had heard
it. But if his ears had caught the
sound, he gave no indication of it. In
deed, when we entered the library he
seemed to have shed all temper and
pettiness. He was once more the keen
eyed tracker of criminals and their
deeds, with no apparent thought for
anything else in the world save. the
task in hand.
Madge Braces Herself.
The chilled sensation which had come
to me at the sight of Smiths bound fig

| to me intensified, as, crossing the
threshold OF the library, found myself
directly facing him. The secret service
operatives had placed his bound figure
in a big armchair, which-whether by
accident or because of their sense o.
the dramatic was placed in the center
of the room.
His feet, resting upon the floor, were
strained as far apart as the bonds which
had been loosened for walking woule
permit, and there was the same effect o
struggle against his shackles in every
line Of his limbs and torso. And in hi
eyes, blazing with futile anger, ther'

HEAVIER TO keep the conversational ball
rolling.
Women are taught from their cradles
up that their chief end in life is TO glve
the glad hand to man and act A. an
applaudinp chorus while he talks about
the things that interest him, but thero s
nothing that women like a. much a.
little reciprocity along this line. They
want chance to say few things about
the things that interest them
Women also like man who knows
how TO pay compliments. Thus doesn'st
mean hurting fattery at them with
trowelf Few women are vain enough 70
believe the man who blurts out the bald
statement that they are second Venus,
OF an understudy to Minerva, but there
is delicate way Of insinuating these
things that is like Whit OF incense, and
intoxicates one.
The most subtle compliment OF all,
however, and one that, strangely
enough, very few men ever think OF pay
ing woman, is 10 affect interest in her
views OF life and desire to know her real
thoughts. 1t is here that clergymen
make their innings Other men flatter
woman for her looks, or her vivacity.
The parson talks TO her about her soul,
and the compliment is so unusual that II
goes to her head
Women like bold men, but they hate
the man who acts as If he was good
thing that every woman was trying TO
get. Although man loses the sweet
heart he is counting because he lacks
the courage 10 ask for what he wants,
many another is refused because he looks
so certain the girl will jump at him, she
cant resist the pleasure Of calling him
down.
Women like generous men, but they
have a contempt for the chuInp who
: spends more than he can afford upon
them. No man ever really bought q
,womsn's love. Every girl has what she
calls candy beaux and theatre beaux,
but she seldom marries them. The man
who curries favor with woman by gifts

Holmes looked at Blessington in his

Holmes turned on his heel with a
gesture of disgust. Goodnight, DR..

"And no advice for me?" cried Bless
ington, in a breaking voice.
''My advice to you, sir is to speak
the truth"
A minute later we were in the street
and walking for home. We had crossed
Oxford street and were half way down
Harley street before l could get word
from my companion.
"Sorry to bring you out on such a
fools errand, Watson" he said at last.
1T is an interesting case, too, at the

"Well, it is quite evident that there

All men desire 10 please women, and
most OF them succeed, because so far as
men arc concerned, women are easy to
please, as the marriage statistics show.
Still, 1t is hard to say Just what qualities
the gentle sex finds most attractive
IN the other, for there are many women
Of many minds, and each woman has a
different mind about men.
OF course it is the conventional thing
TO say that what woman adnires most
in man, is Truth, Honor, and Virtue,
but no woman ever fell in love with q
man because he was good, any more
than a man really fell in love with q
woman because she was domestic. We
both marry for these qualities Just as VIC
buy homespun instead Of silk, because
IL will stand the wear and tear Of life,
but it isn't the thing that fires our fancy
II is significant, though, that the
thing that man most values In woman
beauty-woman cares nothing for in
man. The excessively handsome man
seldom attracts women, and Charlotte
Bronte knew her business when she
painted Rochester as an ill-favored
villain, with dark scowl that only
turned into sunshine for one woman.
| That type Of man always has and always
will be able TO make hair mattresses out
Of the love locks that girls send him.
Secretly women feel that they possess
monopoly Of beauty, and they resent q
mans infringing on their patent rights.
| Besides, q handsome man always ex-
poets 10 have bouquets thrown at him,
and in the game Of life it is much more
agreeable TO be the catcher than the
pitcher.
When Titiania fell in love with the
creature with the head of an ass, II was
not as crazy a thing as the poet would
have us believe. The ass was not such Q
donkey as he looked AS they sat upoT
the fowery bank he sang her charms
instead Of posing, so he was bound u

Your face, does it wear the contented
expression of good health, or are the
features drawn and pallid? In the latter
case, your story is read by all who see
you, and what woman of spirit wants
to be pitied for her physical condition.
There is way to get the nervous, tired

out of your body. The use of that
