AUSTRIA.-Much bad blood has re-

Indifferent to Benefits.
But the Oriental mind is so different

ferred by British rule and to be whole

of races and languages more different
from each other than are any OF the
European races or tongues, and with a
continent as big as Europe west OF the
Vistula, il was an ideal place for petty
syrants, cruel generals. deadly epidemics
and wanton oppression.
This does not seek to imply that the
Indians enjoy tyranny or cruelty or op-
preston, but 1t does mean that there
was change and excitement in life, thai
there were opportunities for wiic
stories, romanceS and fables which law
and order have removed. The riots
some say, are an outlet for the ad
venturous side Of Indian temperament
which law and order have cramped.

There are not many people in the

as she did so, she cast glance back to
see that busy young man had gone
back to his legitimate work
After her apology was disposed of to
her satisfaction, Mr. Daner suggested
that, If she would wait little while
he would take her out to an early
luncheon, as he had breakfasted unusu-
ally early. Corinna agreed and asked
If it wouldn't be nice to take Mr.. Mar
ley with them. Mr.. Marley had been so
very kind while she was waiting.
Mr.. Daner shook his head. He had,
some people said, an exaggerated sense
OF social values. He was socially ambi-
tious.. Whereas Corinna, like so many
OF her generation, was utterly without
social ambition. She merely wanted to
be amused. She knew that her fathers
secret ambition was that she should

the second he came into her fathers
room while she was there, bowed, smiled
pleasantly at her, delivered a message to
her father, and went out again.
In month her original interest had

She thought Of nothing else, compared
every man she met with him, and asked
herself If any other sort of woman

She tortured herself by imagining that
he was already involved with some one
else and could not respond to her ad-

imagined explanations in which it would
appear that only her money was a bar

Ter that, when Mr.. Marley came that
evening, he was to be shown at once
into Mr.. Daner's library, and she was
to be notified.
She devoted a great deal of thought
to her dress and chose pale teagoWn,
hoveing between gray and blue, with
one pure pink rose on 1t. She choked
down few morsels of dinner, little
before 8, and then sat for an hour, with
hands going from cold to icy, and wait
ed. BY 5 minutes to she had abso-
lutely given up hope, when suddenly
the butler opened the door of her little
sitting room and said, as he might have
said that man had come to tune the
piano: There's young man here

Did she wish to see him? She got

hands behind her back, leaned upon it

head to foot.
Marley was standing at the table, idly
glancing through a magazine. He looked
up at her, full and clear, not angry. not
surprised. The look told her nothing.
Good evening. Miss Daner," he said,

stroked the back of his head an instant
and then spoke:

Mr.. Daner. 1t would be a waste of his
time and yours. It's waste of my

she asked. She said 1t so nicely that
she was surprised to see him get to
his feet.

expected door into the outer hall of
the building. Corinna didn't move.
She was enjoying herself enormously.

jealous abuse Of discarded admirer,
which is in a way more flattering still.
This cool appraisal of her was some
thing new, rather terrible, but very in

herself as an able person, a gifted per-
son, a person who could do great things,

BY WEARE HOLBRoOK.

TT was a fortunate coincidence that
Prof. Einstein's Coherent Field
Theory was broadcast to breath
less public last month, just at the
time when most of us were pre-
pairing to file our income tax returns.
With five pages of formulas, Prof.
Einstein proved that gravity and an
electromagnetic field are the same. The
formulas looked like the sort Of hero
glyphics a person might draw on the
cover of a telephone directory while
waiting for the wrong number, but they
were the result of 10 years Of intensive
calculation.
It is said that there are only five per-
sons in the entire world who can under
stand the Coherent Field Theory" and
four Of them will probably have pyor-
rhea before they reach the age Of 40.
So the rest of us aren't missing much.
But the principle of the thing-the
inscrutable workings of the laws of
higher mathematics.-must appeal to
every one who has attempted to fill out
the blanks furnished by the United
States Department of Internal Revenue.
If Prof. EinStein can prove that gravity
and an electro magnetic field are
equal to the same thing, 1t ought to be
possible for us to prove that our ex-
emptions are equal to our incomes.
Before opening negotiations with the
income tax collector it is advisable to
a rnnN1ni0Tf
come-preferahly one with good round
numbers like ] 900 or 100000. An in
come of $5,28953 looks very convincing
on paper. but as soon as you try to find
out what Il per cent OF it Is you be-
come involved in eighth grade arith-
metic. Unless you are one OF those
sharks who enjoy figuring out how
much wallpaper a room 8x17x22 will re-
quire, stick to the round numbers.
When you have chosen your income
for the last year, you are ready to be-
gin work on the blank provided by the
income tax collector. The motto OF the
income tax collector is "One return de-
serves another'-and he seldom fails
to send his old friends an annual re-
minder in the form of great big blank.
But If you have never before paid an
income tax you cannot expect the COL
lector to send you a blank, for the
chances are that he does not even
know your name, although your face
may be very familiar. 1t is up to you
to make the first advances. The best
way to do this is to write him brief,
informal letter, as follows:
Income Tax Collector,

Dear Sir:

she said.

you" he answered, and, as she protest.
ed, he went on: Il had one with for
lorn child looking for job
Il waited almost an hour for you"
Really? I'm so sorry" But he did
not sound very sorry.
She knew now that, although she had
thought out long speech, what she had
really hoped was that, in the first mo-
ment of meeting, he would show an
emotion that would guide her. She had
nothing to do but begin her speech.
Mfr. Marley" she said, "I don't meet
nobody does-a great many people,
men or women, whose friendship they
really desire, whom they thoroughly ad-
n1ire and respect. When do, won't
give them up. Why don't you want my
friendship? What is there about me
that makes you decide so positively that
you never want to see or speak to me
again? have been saying to myself, as
you told me, I'm no good, but I'll do my

shaking his head.
"No, no, no." he said. That's all

circumstances No one. perhaps. had
ever talked to you in the tone that I
did, because you had never been in just
the position that I imagined you to be
in. That interested you. The fact that
have not been willing to see you again
interested you more. 1t is, am sure,
an unusual attitude for q man to take
in regard to you. Also it gave you a
sense of safety-that you did not have
to be as much on your guard as usual"
But why didn't you want to see me?"

gesture toward the opened mail.

"Yse," he returned, 1T is a little on
the loathsome side, as you would say.
But her father doesn't care. He says
women haven't anything else to amuse
them, except spending other peoples
money"
Did he pay even that one?" said
Corinna family.
Yes, even that one, so you see it
isn't really the girls fault"
Her relief was so pronounced she was
afraid of showing it, and she said
hastily:
And yet you would not want to

Certainly not. If I married, I'd
marry a pretty. charming creature like
you, who would make me feel strong
and competent and never suggest that I
