THE LAST FILTRATION

The last filtration comes before tn real sweetheart At times some young people imagine it may lead to matrimony, but as a rule, there is nothing sentimental or sweet about filtration. The young man. who deliberately flirts with girl he meets at a mutual friends home, at a party, a dance. Or perhaps at the seashore, always wonders if she wouldn't flirt with the next fellow. And the girl who flirts with a man to whom she has not been properly introduced seldom thinks of him as a prospective husband.
 The average young person is nat urally conventional at heart. Older people may scoff at "our modern young people" and the way they dance and pet and joy ride, but down in the average young mans or wom- ans heart there is a desire to meet the right person in the right way and be married according tG the latest form of etiquette. Therefore a fir tation may be diverting. a summer pastime or just lark. but the choos- ing of wife or husband means something more serious and con Nentional.
 The young man who boasts about his "bachelor girl friends" and likes to dance with the Greenwich Village set is the very chap who marries the

this new service out of nothing, with no facilities at hand and every odd of money and of influence against him, and-he was going to see it through.
 He knew at what cafe on the Bou- levard some of his newspaper friends would gather, that night. They were good fellows, and while swapping stories would drop hints. He might No, he wouldn't. His pro- gram had been wholly prepared and he wasn't going to be rattled by foolish telegram.
 Nevertheless, when the crucial mo- ment came, at Versailles next day, he caught his breath as if for a cold plunge. He had staked everything upon psychological observation a a famous trial on whose verdict he had beaten the world to his own surprise. If the same law failed to work now he was done. But then, human na- ture was the one thing on earth re- maining progressively constant in it's peculiar, cratic way.
 From gallery, Gareth watched the crowded Congress Hall, tense with passions and heavy with breathing. The speeches, heard in scattered portions. reused the fer vor of partisanship on benches where senators and deputies sat with a common rank. Then came the vote cIu tilc uSH AOT lHe IOOIu where ballots were counted.
 Gareth knew his ground well, hay ing paced it in advance. So he pro- ceeded quietly to the vast hall serv- ing as antechamber to the secret room. The most brilliant and emi- nent figures In the life of Paris social, diplomatic. political, intel lectual--were pressed and packed against the forbidden door like shoal upon shoal of herring. What did they expect to gain by being there, and-how did they hope to get away? Gareth, alone, fingered at the remote end of the hall,
 Wearily, the minutes dragged on. Gareth found himself repeating the hackneyed joke of his school days: Would he rather look a bigger fool than he was, or be a bigger fool than he looked? And he answered him self that either way he could not. In the distance blurred by fatigue and by the overcharged air. he rec ognized familiar faces writhing in the efforts made by their respective bodies to work in still closer to that door. What did they think to gain? Yet what if they were right?

every soul was on deck, and the boats crews at their places and ready Jem Mace and his crew were off the port bow, and he backed water and swung around, so that when the Old Man from half way up the rigging caught through his glass the far, faint glint of the whales white breath across the glassy swells and waved the boats away, the mate had long start on the rest of us.
 As the senior officer, he had prece- dence in any case; but I was always wishing to get an iron fast, and I bumped my men along best I knew how. The second-mate's boat was abreast of me, and we made pretty race of 1t at first. But lacking wind, our sails were no manner of good. and with straight away row of eight or ten miles ahead of us, our pace soon slowed down to reason. We'd made three or four miles, and I could catch sight of a spout now and then ahead of us, when from the mates boat came Jem Mace's hail;
 Thar she goes"

So we went ahead till we figured to be near him when he should come up again, then laid on our oars waiting for old bludder to finish his last supper down below us somewhere and come up to the irons.
 You can most generally figure pretty close on the whale Let him alone and he'll come up. regular, for his breath of air, and go down again. He'll make about the same numbe of spouts every time he comes up. and he'll stay down about the same length of time while he's down. This period under water runs from 45 minutes to twice that. Likewise, a whale under water usually moves straight ahead on the line he took when he went down, and when he's feeding that way he travels about two miles on hour. So it's straight off mathematics to work cut where or whereabouts awaiting for him.

Honest John Atkins

meeting. Someone had called him Honest John Atkins" The name had fitted him like an old hat and had stuck to him like a poor rela- . tion. Ever since he had been Honest John Atkins" and to preserve that title for himself had become some- thing as near as he ever got to a religion.
 So much for reputation, he thought, shifting his cigar to the ether side of his close-cropped gray moustache and turning the corner at Wall street on his way to the post office. Now for the ultimate morality inherent in a five dollar bill
 Consideration one: Did he need the money? Answer: He did not. Consideration two: Did the old woman need the money? He re- membered that the installation of the little shop had been under the super vision of hard faced. flashily dressed, old-young man, who had ordered the old woman about like a slave driver, making her more trem- ulous than ever. The flashy old young man seemed the power behind the throne, and the loss therefore would fall upon him, The old wom- an, consequently, might be dismissed. The question became: Did the young man need the money? Apparently he did not. Therefore the matter of human need-the emotional phase of the subject-had been disposed of and the problem now pivoted upon the purely moral and intellectual question:: Shall l return this five dollar bill; and if so, why?
 John Atkins was rather plea sed with his analysis of the matter so far. With an amiable smile on his ruddy face, he patted the small package tf bonds in his pocket. He had told a customer in Boston that he would address, register and mail this package with his own hands," and he always kept his word. It was such little personal touches that showed John Atkins a master crafts man.
 And if so, why?" John Atkins could think of no reasCn why he should return the five dollar bill. Of course, it would be the conven- tionally honest" thing to do. But rules-he reflected-are made for people unable to guide themselves.
