Let Age and Youth Agree to
Differ: A Form Of Agreement

keynote to the lack of harmony be-
tween the two generations when he
says that youth fails to consider how
much more crowded the pigeon
holes of age are than its own, and
how much more irksome it is to ar
range their contents, and that, in
conjunction with the proverbial
egotism of youth, is the whole cause
of the difficulties that arise
A case in point is the talk between
the aged Belarius and the two sons
of Cymbeline before they learn of
their princely heritage. Belarius tells
at length about the charms of noun
tain life in Wales, adding that it is
nobler than attending for a check,
richer than doing nothing for a bau-
BILE, prOuder than rustling in unpaid
silk. They listen respectfully and
reply:
HAPPY this life is best
If quiet life be best, sweeter to you
That have a sharper known, we'll cor
responding
With your stiff age; but unto us it Is
A cell of ignorance, travelling abed.
What should we speak of
When we are as old as you? when
we shall hear
The rain and wind beat dark Decem-
Der, how
In this, our pinching cave, shah we
discourse
The freezing hours away? We have
seen nothing.
How hard it is to hide the sparks
of nature, says Belarius to himself!

Schoolmistress Had Class
That knew" the Answers

An education officer of Sofia, in
specting the first class of school,
was very much impressed by the
alacrity with which all the children
held up their hands when their
schoolmistress asked them a ques-
ton; and whenever she singled out
a child to give the answer, that
child invariably knew it.
He congratulated the schoolmis-
tress upon the success of her teach
ing. Thereat she blushed and hesi-
tatingly explained that she had
taught all the children to hold up
their right hands when they knew
the answers to her questions and
their left hands when they did not.
Of course she had only asked for
answers from children who had
held up their right hands as a sign
that they knew.-New York Times.

Conclusion of Sage on the
Problem of Life's
Contrasts.

One Of the most serious of lffe's
contrasts is the continual misunder
standing which arises between old
age and youth. It is trite but true
that from time immemOrial age has
been dissatisfied with youth and
youth has resented the Implication
Though we ourselves had no such
temptations as beset the young
people of today, nevertheless our
parents were just as anxious about
our dOings as any parent now could
be. To us, their children, the prob
lens of this perpleXing day seem in
tricate in comparison. r. L. s..
thought it out in this fashion: Let
them Gage and YOUTH agree to differ,
for who knows but what agreeing
to differ may not be form of agree
ment, rather than a form of differ
ence?
Lady Slane, in her attempt to live
her own life after fifty years of be-
ing a satellite in the wake of a dis
tinguished husband, is criticized by
some as devoid of maternal love in
wishing to live apart from her fam
fly. But is not life in most families
proof of the saying that prophet
is not without honor save in his own
country? The desire to explore
ones individual country becomes
rather important as life recedes with
all passions spent.
So much is now being written
about flaming youth that it will soon
believe that the whole stage of life
was meant for the presentation of
its own play and the foOtlights sole
ly to exhibit its own charms. Well,
so be it, since upon its shoulders
must fall the work of the world. Sir

son whose attitude toward life had
changed. Stevenson's comment upon
the book helped to smooth over the
harshness of such criticism when he
said that it was very delicate task,
very delicately done. Published in
1907, it was, to use the authors
words, a record of a struggle be-
tween two temperaments, two con-
sciences, and almost two epochs.

Buckles Bad Break

COWBOYS who rode the Mon
~ tana range knew him only as
Buckle. That nickname is explained
by the fact that he was just about
the best rider that ever forked
bronc. Plenty of the wild ones had
tried to pile him but he just re-
marked sadly "B d horsey,
shouldn't go bucky buckyw and
stayed right in the saddle. But
even the best of riders is likely to
hit the dirt when his horse steps in
a prairie dog hole.
That's what happened to Buckle
one day when he was out riding the
range alone. His horses neck was
broken so the animal didn't move
after it fell. Nor did Buckle move
much. Just his leg was broken
and it was pined under the dead
weight of the horse. Whenever he
tried to wriggle it free, a sicken-
ing pain almost made him faint. Of
course, he shouted for help. But
there was no one within 127 miles
so his shouts weren't heard.
Night came and with it a chill
wind that cut to the bone. Not far
away a wolf howled and a moment
later it was answered by another
and another and another. Buckle
knew what that meant. He decid-
ed it was time to do something. But
what? Let Buckle himself answer:
"What did I do? Why, 1 finally
had to walk eight miles to find a
pole thick enough and strong
enough to pry that darned hoss off
my leg"

The Duel That Failed

n S. CLARK of Attica, Ind,
". went to the Texas Panhan-
die when it was wild and woolly.
There he met Clay Allison, a fa-
nous gun-fghter who told him
about the strangest duel he'd ever
seen. 1t was between two frontiers
men who didn't like the color of
each others hair. So they agreed
to fight it out with long rifles
stand back to back, then each take
ten long steps, turn and fire.
The duel began. Each with his
right eye drew a bead on the 9TH
er's left eye-it wasn't sportsman
like to shoot out the other mans
right eye and thus spoil his aim.
They fired at the same instant but
neither bullet took effect.
They shot a second time-a third
"a fourth-and a fifth. Still moth
ing happened. In fact they kept
shooting until each man had used
up 20 cartridges. "There's some
thing spooky about this" said one.
"Shore is" said the other. May
be we amt supposed to kill each
other"
Reckon we'd better call it off
and shake hands," suggested the
first. "Suits met" said the second.
They started toward each other,
each one taking ten long steps so
they would meet face to face where
they had parted back to back. AS
they met and clasped hands, one
exclaimed "Ouch! Something's
burnin' through my boot!"
They looked down. There on the
ground was pile of melted lead.
The mystery of the bullets that
failed to kill was solved. SO ac-
curate had been their aim that
their bullets had met midway with
such terrific force that they melted
each other and dropped to the
ground. Clay said he knew this
was true because he saw the place
on the ground where the melted
lead had been and there wasn't a
speck of grass growing there.

ed out, they had been nearing Coco
Solo.
His heart was suddenly as cold as
ice. perhaps they were in the back
seat of the car" he thought "Per-
haps Judith passed out, as Bennington
did, and 1, still Supplied by the drug,
took the Wheel" Had the two been
lying in the tonneau certainly these
policemen would not have seen them
as the car shot past in the dim light.
The thing to do was to go ahead
on the assumption that they were
alive. He must find them. He must
find out what had happened.
Hawley turned to the two policemen
and thanked them for saving his life.
He took soggy bill-fold out of his
pocket and passed them each a bill.
They accepted the money AMI folded
it and tucked it into their respective
pockets. Then one of them took Haw
ley's right arm, the other took his
left, and the small fellow said:
"You will have to see the captain,
senor."

law to drive automobiles off of the

"The hell I was"
"Come, senior. We go now to the
captain"
He went along docilely enough.
They crossed the open dock and start
ed up the street. AS they neared a
cross street the lieutenant stumbled,
deliberately and then broke away. He
ran as fast as he could to the corner
and then turned to the left.

He turned the car toward Coco Solo.
If Captain Whalen still insisted his
daughter was sound asleep in bed,
he'd tell him a few things! And make
him believe 'em too!
Two blocks below the Palais Roy
ale he passed the lighted lobby of
the Hotel Graystone. He recalled a.
gain that Bennington lived there and
and almost mechanically he drew up
to the curb, although he had almost
no hope of finding the other in his
room.
The lobby was empty save for the
sleepy-eyed clerk at the desk.
"Has Mr.. Bennington come in?''
Hawley asked.
"Mr. Bennington The clerk look
ed Hawley over obviously, evidently

create a disturbance, and said, eyes,

MRS. JOHN N. MACKALL
DIES LAST WEEK IN BALTIC.

Mrs. John N. Mackall died Wednes-
day of last week in Baltimore after
short illness. Mrs. Mackall was
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Frank
Turner and a sister of the late Henry
P. Turner. She leaves husband and
one son. At this time no information
as to the funeral had been reported.
Mrs. Mackall, known before her mar
riage as Florence Turner, was most
attractive woman. The Turner FAM
lily played an important part in the
life of the State and of Talbot County.
Her father was States Attorney
of Talbot County, was State Comp
troller and Clerk of the Court of APP
peals. Her brother, Henry P. Turner
was Treasurer of Talbot County for
many years and very prominent fig
ure in the State. Her mother was
member of the Powell family of that
county, one of the distinguished fam
lilies of that county. Mrs. Mackall
was an accomplished woman, highly
esteemed and one who emphasized
the higher values of life, but always
in modest way. Her death is uni
versally deplored.

the swinging door. He came back in
few moments and said:
"Georgette gone"
"Gone! Where has she gone ?
When?"
The Chinaman shrugged and start
ed to break eggs into brown bowl.
The swinging doors flew aside and
Kate O'Brien, the owner of the Pa
lais Royale came into the kitchen.
Kate was big and blonde and good
natured. Hawley had known her for
more than a year.
"Hell, big boy" she greeted him
breezily. "What have you done with
my little dancer? And what have
you been doing yourself? Swimming
at this time of night? Shame"
"Where is Georgette?"
Don't you know"
"How should 1 know"
Somebody brought her a note a
while ago and she showed off in a
hurry. 1 just assumed the note was
from YOU"
"Where'd she go?"
"She didn't leave forwarding ad-
Dress"
Haven't you any idea where
could find herr"
"Not the slightest" She regard
ed Hawley with quizzical grin.
"Why all the excitement, sonny? Jeal-
ous?"
Kate gave him a quick look. "Phil,
I'm going to pour you a drink. You've
got to pull yourself together, boy"
81 don't need drink" he snapped,
and turned and STROBE out the door
and down the steps.
Doc Meyers car was still parked
in front of the Palais Royale. Haw-
ley got in and drove around the block.

The policemen shouted at him to
halt and he heard their feet pounding
the sidewalk behind him. Luckily,
they were either poor runners or they
were too lazy to exert themselves. By
the time Hawley had covered three
blocks he had lost them.
Putting and blowing, he dropped
into walk and thought the situation
over. He refused to consider the pos
sibility that Judith and Bennington
had been drowned when he drove the
car off the dock. He'd have to find
them, but where would he look? With
all of Colon about him, most of it in
darkness, how could he locate them?
He recalled that Bennington had
been stopping at the Hotel Graystone.
There wasn't chance in a thousand
however, that he would be in his
room now.
The Palais Royale. Of course!
Hadn't Bennington said that Geor-
gette was involved in the affair :?
And then he wanted to see Georget-
te. He wanted to be assured that
she was safe. For, unaccountably,
there had been born in the last few
minutes the horrible fear that she
was in trouble and needed him.
1t didn't dawn upon him until he
was almost in front of the cabaret
that his clothes were wet and smeared
with oil, that he had lost his hat, that
he was too disheveled to appear in
even a second-rate cabaret. Accord
ingly, he went around to the rear,
climbed flight of rickety stairs and
found himself in the kitchen with two
Chinese cooks who regarded him with
aloof disapproval. Just another drunk
en- American!
Haw.ey said briskly: 81 want to see
Georgette Immediately"
The Orientals shrugged and turned
back to their cooking. He caught
one of them by the shoulder and whirl
ed him around.
"Unless you want a husky boot
, where it will do the most good, get
cut of here and call Georgette."
The Chinaman scurried through

His head ached abominably and it was
hard to think. The nights events
were so disordered in his mind, so
completely unexplainable, that his
brain reeled whenever he dwelt on
them.
Of one thing he was sure. He was
no longer in any condition, either
mentally or physically, to cope with
the situation. A clearer brain than
his was needed to figure out the puz-
zle and he was ready to call for help.

against him.
Answering her testimony yesterday

The defense today sought to prove
Kid Cam innocent of killing Liggett

killing.
Policeman Richard Miller told the
jury that Mrs. Liggett was more or
