“I
CALLED on a girl a number of
times." a young man writes, “and
I found her very agreeable, and
l admit I made love to her. I had no
intention of being serious, and now find
that ahe Is desperately In love with me.
Vs I do not want to marry her, what can
I do?"
But that Is the very thing you must
do. A man so fascinating as your
self, who calls on a girl a few times,
and lo, the mischief Is done, must be
safely corraled within the bonds of mat
rimony that this needless slaughter of
'emale hearts may cease.
Safely married to a woman who real
izes what a dangerous person you are
to be at large among weak, fluttering
female hearts, you will never again have
opportunity for making, few passes at
a girl with a wave of your hand, and re
duce her to a state of paralytic adoration
in doing it. So long as your wife lives,
no girl will again be deaperately In love
with you If she knows it.
So long as you remain single this
trail of women's hearts strewn crush
ed and bleeding In the path you have
trod will continue to grow. For the
sake of the women helpless before your
oharma; for the sake of a nation whioli
nan not prosper with all Its womankind
dying of love, you must marry, and mar
ry at once.
Many Sacrifice*.
1 admit that you will make many sac
rifices It will be a hardship to a man
ef your temperament to confine all your
lovemaking to one woman, and many,
many times you will be sghast at the
sacrifice of limiting all your fascina
tions to the four walls of your own home,
but it must be done and I hope you are
sensible to the neocselty It Is your
misfortune to be fascinating, but no
obe will hold you to blame If you hold
those powers within some restraint.
When holding to car strap: when en
gaged In your daily occupation, if It be
that of Interpreting the law or selling
muslins; keep your mind on the task
in hand and don't raise your eye's to the
face of any woman. Remember alw r ays
your fatal power of rendering the wom
en desperately in love with you, and
have mercy on my sex. If you are en
gaged In an occupation that throws you
in contact with the silly creatures, quit
It. and go to digging trenches where
your living will depend on keeping those
fascinating eyqg on the ground.
Some Simple Rules.
Never leave the house in the even
ing or or. a Sunday without your wife
by your side, and when you feel that
you can no longer exist without some
display of your fascinating power, try
them on her lUpke love to her, though
you may not mean it; make e5"es at her.
squeeze her hand, and endeavor by every
ajt of which you are master to cause
her to love you desperately.
Having renewed the flame of her love
to such bounds, she will double her
vigilance over you, and reduce to a
minimum the dangerous Influence you
may exert over other women.
Perhaps you may argue that you in
tend to marry, but would rather wait till
vou have made love to a girl seriously.
That, most irresistible of your sex, is
something you will never do. To be se
rious in love is something beyond you.
darry the girl wlio thought you were
serious, and in her hands entrust your
future.

A that I should under ordinary

merely training for the autumn sports
—for. you see, he was in a running
costume of white cotton stuff and his
legs were bare from the knees down—
but as he shot past me in the moon
light I canght sight of something like
a huge splash of blood on hi? clothes,
and coupling that with the rest I
nearly went out of rny senses. It
wasn’t until long afterward I recol
lected that the badge of the County
Club is the Winged Foot of Mercury
wrought in brilliant scarlet embroid
ery. To me, just then, that thing of
red was , blood—my uncle's blood—
and I ran and ran and ran until I got
back here to the house and flew* up
the covered passage and burst into the
Round House. He was sitting there
still—just as he had been sitting be
fore. But he didn’t call out to me this
time: he didn’t reprove me for dis
turbing him; didn’t make one single
movement, utter one single sound.
And when I tlew to him 1 knew why.
He was dead—stone dead! The face
and throat of him were torn and ren'
as If some furious animal had mauled
him, and there were curious yellow
stains upon his clothes. That’s all
Mr. Headland, that’s all. I don’t know
what I did nor where I went from tin
moment I rushed shrieking from that
room until I came to my . vi enses and
found myself in this one with dear,
kind Mrs. Armroyd here, bending over
me and doing all in her power to
soothe and to comfort me.”
“It Is Better.’’
“There, there, cherie. you shall not
more distress yourself. It is of a
hardness too great for the poor mind
to bear.” put in Mrs. Armroyd herself
at this, bending over the sofa as she
spoke and softly smoothing the girl’s
hair. “It is better she should be at
peace for a little, is it not. mon
sieur?”
“Very much better, niadame.” re
plied Cleek, noting how softly her
hand fell and how gracefully it
moved over the soft hair and across
the white forehead. “No doubt th
major part of what still remains to be
told, you in the goodness of your
heart will supply ”
“Of a certainty, monsieur, of a cer
tainty.”

gave his shoulders an eloquent
Frenchified shrug, looked up at her

men and let the rest of the sentence
go by default.
“Madame” looked at him and gave
her little hands an airy and a graceful
flirt.
“Of a certainty, monsieur,” she said,
with charming grace. “Cela m’est

remarkably light anti remarkably
graceful for one of such weight and
generous dimensions. *
A Private Talk.
“Miss Renfrew." said Cleek, sink
ing Ills voice and looking her straigril
in the eyes, as soon as Mrs. Arraroya
had left them, "Miss Renfrew, tell me
something, please. Have you any
suspicion regarding the identity or
the purpose of the person who mur
dered your uncle?"
"Not in the slightest. Mr. Headland.
Of course, in the beginning my

It is to think that such as he ”
"1 am not even hinting at Sir

"Mr. Headland!”
“Gently, gently, please! I merely
wished to know if in your heart yoii

You see, one has to remember that
the late Mr. Xosworth is said to have
made a will in your favor. The state
ment is correct, is it not?”
“To the best of my belief—yes.”
“Filed it with his solicitor has he?”
“That I can’t say. I think not. how
ever. He was always sufficient unto
himself and had a rooted objection to
trusting anything of value to the care
of any man living, riven his most
important documents—plans and for

the very lease of this property—have
always been kept in the desk in the
laboratory.” v
“Hurn-m-m!" said Gleek—and
pinched his chin hard. Then, after a
moment. "One last question,” he went
on? suddenly. "What do you know,
Miss Renfrew, of the recent move

“Nothing, nothing—absolutely noth*

I a mistake.
I have trained all sorts of beasts
from fleas to elephants. I’ve taught
horses to dance on their hind legs,
dogs to act music-hall sketches, ele
phants to play the barrel-organ and
do all sorts of tricks; but not one of
them showed such Intelligence as my
educated eel.
“I picked him out of the water one
day, and was attracted by his cute
brown orbs. He looked at me in a
sort of friendly, knowin’ way, as if to
say: ‘Let’s be friends, guv’nor—real
pals.’
“So I picked him up and put him In
my pocket. Then a bright idea struck
:ne. I would train him w’ith the other
animals and let him take pa.rt In my
show.
Was a Winner.
“Talk of the intelligence of animals.
That eel simply beat the bunch. He
guessed what I wanted him to do be
fore I’d thought it out myself. He
had the true spirit of the artist, too,
he ’ad. He performed because he loved
to act.
“The first tricks I taught him he
took to as mere -child’s play. In a
few T days be could put his tail into
lis mouth and roll round the room, pre
ending to be a hoop. He would smile
when I said ’Smile’ in the cutest way,
and, what is more, he would often smile
on his own without being told, as If
tickled at the humors of this funny
world.
“Then I taught him to wiggle him
self into the shape of letters. Soon
he could twist himself into every letter
n the alphabet and spell words as easy
as you please. This beats science,’
hought I, when one day he actually
spelt my nairte; so I formed the idea
of inviting some of the greatest scien
tists in the country to witness the
feats of my marvellous eel.
“As the day of the private view
drew’ near I put him regularly through-
lis tricks, and that marvellous animal
seepied to guess exactly w'hat was in
store for him. He got nervous, excit
ed. and vain. too. If he had been a
eacock I can just imagine him spread
ing his tail. Hut he merely blinked
his eyes ip the cutest, knowin’est way.
He Broke Down.
"Then all of a sudden the excite
ment began to tell 4 upon him, and he
showed signs of a nervous break
down. He took trembling fits, which
nigh scared me to death. 1 dosed him
with spirit, which seemed to do him
< d for a time, but he got weaker an’
weaker until at last one morning I
found him stretched out stiff and stark
j upon the floor.
“If ever a human being died of brain
fever, that poor beast did. I never
j trained another eel again. He died
1 about this time last year, and I would
1 give anything to have him by me now,
j with his * ute little smile and his ' We’re-
pals-guv’nor’ look.”

Pa
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
P A brought a book hoam with him
last nite A he was showing It to
me It was called How a Husband
A Wife shud act to Avoid Quarls. It
was a big book, about a foot thick
Tlila book Bobble, sed Pa, Is a book
that was wrote by a very wise guy. He
was married three times A his first two
wires left him beefoar he reellsed that
he was hard to git along with, ao wen
he married the third time he made up
his mind to study the fair sex A find
out what wud humor them. Thle book
is the result of yeers of paaljunt watch
ing & experiments on his part. Pa sed
I think that it ought to keep yure Ma A
me from ewer having a other unkind
word. Here Is sum of the rules, Bob
ble, ao wen you grow up A git a wife
of yure own you will be abel to greet
her right at all times A salv quarls.
Good Rules.
Rule 1—The husband ahud never be-
cum angry at the salm time that the
wife is angry. One angry person in a
fambly Is enuff at a time.
Rule 2—The wife shud newer stay
angry'after she has gone to sleep. She
might have a nitemare.
Rule 3—When a husband is contra-
dickted by a wife he shud smile sweetly
A say, wen his wife gives him a chanet,
" I dare say you are right.” That In
the greatest sentence that was ewer
Invented for making matrimony pos-
sibel.
Now, Bobbie, sed Pa. there is a good
point right thare. Let us go in the
other room A I will ask you to notls
how yure Ma acts wen I answer her
that \vay. “I dare say you are right.”
So we went in the living room A Ma
was thare. She was kind out of aorta
aboiit sumthing. I guess, beekaus she
looked at Pa & me kind of cross wen we
cairn in. Well, I suppose you want yure
supper, Bed Ma. Yes, deerent, sed Pa.
It is a wonder that you A our son dident 1
fool around in the library until it was
time for brekfust, sed Ma. The men
nowadays, aed Ma, act for all the wurld
as if wimmen was made to wait on them
A newer give anything else a thought.
I dare say you are rite, sed Pa.
Of course, I am rite, sed Ma Now
thare Is Missus Norris. She jest left a
few minutes before you got hoam. She
toald me that her husband reefused* to
buy her another frock until next month
and then went to his dub and lost four
dollars bowling ten pins. Think of it,
sed Ma, unable to buy liis little wife
another frock when she only had three,
and then going and losing four dollars
bowling. That is the man of it for you.
How much was the frock? sed Pa.
Very Cheap.
Only sixty dollars, Ma sed. Thay was
eighty dollars last, but you know wlm-
men’s clothes has went down a whole
lot fn price this season.
Maybe he cud afford to spend four
dollars bowling A cuddent spend sixty
dollars for a other frock, sed Pa.
Thare you go, sed Mat deefending
him. Of course, man can do nu wrong.
The men want to be the lords of cre-
ashum.
I dare say you are rite, sed Pa. How
about dinner?
It is on the table waiting for you.
sed Ma. Oh, dear, it is the saim old j
story, Ma sed. Qlt the dinner A then
put away the dishes. A man’s work ’
is from sun to sun, a woman’s work I
is newer done.
Pa sed "I dare say you are rite” wen
he had a peece of staik In his mouth &
he nearly choaked.
Thar you go faffing at me, sed Ma.
you are a brute.
Poor Pa, I guess he will have to read
sum moar rules ,in his new book.

“Woman’s Work Is Never Done”
By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER
“M
AN’S work last* from sun to
sun,
But woman s work is never
done.”
And one reason why it is never done
is that she is not allowed to do it.
Men can understand that other men
have necessary work to perform; it is,
however, hard for women of leisure to
understand how busy a busy woman
may be. And until they do understand
this it will not be easy for any woman
to labor as steadily and satisfactorily
as does a man.
A man who is an author said to me,
“From the time that I go into my study
after breakfast in the morning, until I
am ready to come out it luncheon, l am
not disturbed.”
I gasped with envy and also with a
little incredulity, for l know that his
study is in his apartment and that he
has a wife and children.
“I mean it,” he said. “If I would do
good work. I must be left alone.”
“But your telephone?” I queried.
That is right on your desk.”
Should Be Unmolested.
He smiled in a superior kind of way.
“Ah. yes. but that is only a switch from
the instrument in the hall, and my wife
or the maid answers the main phone.
If I am asked for the reply is that I am
‘engaged and cannot be disturbed.
I do insist that when the man has
gone to business, and the children to
school and college, when the orders have
beeai given to the maids, the butcher,
grocer, etc., that even a woman might
have three or four hours each day in
which she need not be disturbed—or,
at least, that she might have her morn
ings unmolested.
“But she should explain lo her
friends,” says someone. “They would
understand and not call on her or tel
ephone to her in the morning."
Her friends! Does anyone fancy It is
one’s close friends that disturb one? No,
indeed!
Who is it then who interrupts the
woman and ignores the fact that she is
"engaged?”
Kirst of all. it is next to impossible
to make a maid understand that when
a woman would write a story, paint a
picture or give a music lesson she has
in view’ any object except that of amus
ing herself for a little while when she
has nothing else on hand. Therefore, in
spite of interdicts, she often interrupts
any one of these occupations to deliver
some message that could wait, without
injury, for a half day. But if she is so
well trained that she does not do this,
she seldom has strength of mind to say
to thoBe who would reach her mistress
hy telephone or in person that the busy
woman cannot be disturbed.
What Is Another Way?
I remember that when I flattered my
self that 1 had at last drilled one maid
into doing this. 1 discovered that her
answ’er for week« had been the same,
namely, that I wus gone away and that
nobody knew when I would come back.
When I learned of this and protested to
her, explaining that her statement was
an untruth, she said with a knowledge
of human nature at which I could not
sufficiently wonder—“Indade, ma’am, if
1 said you was engaged and couldn’t see
’em, they’d not be satisfied. But if T say
you’re away, sure what is there for them
to do but lave you alone?”
No, it is not one’s, own friends who
will not accept the “engaged” statement,
for they love one enough to let her alone
during her golden morning hours. But
there are a plenty of other people who
lo not love one Among them are the
casual acquaintance, who wants to ask
one to subscribe to a certain pldlantrop
1c movement; the woman who tele
phones to ask about S maid who was
once in one’s employ and who querist
“must engage immediately if at all.”
and who talks for at least ten minutes
about her past experiences with “help:”
the book agent—for whom one cannot
help being sorry—the former schoolmate
who has not seen one for years, but
who, in passing through the city, has
“looked one-up,” and insists to the hes
itating maid that she knows her mis
tress will be displeased If this “friend
of her girlhood" is turned from the
door; these are among the hundred-and-
dhe people who would be wounded by
that "engaged.” Yet we are told that
it in not honest to send word that one
is “not at home.”
Is there not some way in which the
members of society who do not have to
be let alone to accomplish their work
can be made to understand that even a
woman may need time and quiet in
which to do the task laid to her hand
And yet. what woman calling on an
acquaintance, does not feel rebuffed b>
the message that “Mrs. Blank is en
gaged, and begs to be excused?”

T HEY were on parade when the
Irish drill-sergeant stopped
dead in front of the newest re
cruit and eyed him steadily from top
to toe before he burst out:
"AiTah! an’ here's a nice state of
affairs. How dare ye come here and
stand before a dacent man loike me-
self covered in dust from head to
foot? Answer me when I spake to
ye!"
With knocking knees the now thor
oughly wretched recruit endeavored
to squeeze in a few W'ell-chosen words
of explanation, but his attempts were
rudely overborne by a further torrent
of words from the sergeant, who fair
ly bellowed:
"Ye would answer me, would ye?
Spake at your peril! Now, tell me, ye
spalpeen, what have ye been doin’ to [
yer nice new uniform?”
Again the bewlledered recruit i
opened a capacious mouth as a pre
liminary to speech, but tile violent |
voice of his superior broke In one;
again:
"Take care!” he shouted. "Oi can
hear ye. If ye answer me when I
spokes to ye. I ll, hare ye arrested for
insolence. An' if ye don’t answer
when I spakes to ye. I’ll send ye to
the guard room for disobedience. So
moind, I'll have ye both ways.”
Distinctly Suspicious.
It was when on maneuvers, and a
soldier was being tried for the shooting
of a chicken on prohibited ground.
“Look here, my man,” said the com
manding officer to the farmer who
brought the accusation, “are you quite
certain this in the man who shot your
bird? Will you swear to him?”
"No, I won’t do that,” replied the
canny yokel, “but I will say he’s the
man I suspect o’ dole* •*t.“
“That’s not enough to convict a
man!” retorted the C. O., considerably
nettled. “What rained your suspi
cions?’’
“Well, sir,” replied the sturdy farmer,
as he slowly mopped hi* forehead with
his bandanna, “it was this way: I see
*im on my property with a gun: then
I heered the gun go off. then I see ’lm
putting the chicken Into his knapsack;
and it didn't seem noho* to think the
bird committed suicide.”

A FTER a colliery explosion nt
Llanbraduch, Wales, one of the
rescue parties made a surpris
ing discovery. Perched on a tub in
the mine was a robin! Now, most
colliers regard the presence, of birds,
particularly those with white plum
age, about pits as a "token,” and the
•flre” which had occurred was there
fore attributed to the Intrusion of
the perky little stranger!
Rats are not uncommon about a
pithead, and some of them reach the
<p.pths beneath, occasionally with fa
tal haste. . ,
One, during the process of falling
down a riiaft, acquired such momen
tum bv the time it reached the bottom
that when it struck o collier there
was a loud report as of an explosion,
and the man was knocked to the
ground with great force.
In warm mines, too, mice ..re nu
merous. A few reach a new pit in the
trusses of hay and bags of corn that
are taken down it for the ponies, and
these, notwithstanding the strange
ness of their environment, multiply "■>
rapidly that,cats have to be installed
in the stables.
It might be supposed that "inous-
ers," at any late, would not take at al!
kindly to the subterranean world: but
they soon become used to their sur
roundings.
In one mine a fine tabby used to
knock off with the men on Saturday,
but, unlike them, she did not start
again on Monday morning. She was
always missing till Wednesday or
Thursday, when she returned from
the old and disused portions of the
mine.
Bad For Mice.
A strike, however, piay.s far greater
havoc with the mouse population of
pit than any number of cats, because
the food of the ponies an(| of the men
and boys is ncr longer available for
the unfortunate little creatures.
When, bv way of example, the Dur
ham colliers joined in the general
strike laBt year many of the pits in
thnt county were overrun with mice;
and for some time after Vork was
resumed not one was seen.
Dogs also are among the animal
trespassers in mines. By tome means
a terrier entered a disused pit in
Swaledale, and for eight days it roam
ed about the workings, apparently
without anything to eat.
More remarkable was a dog's in
trusion into a South Wales pit which
has the reputation of being haunted
The animal in question was seen
prowling about the workings, and, as
it seemed to vanish when an attempt
was made to catch it, a number of
colliers at once “downed tools” and
went home.
Some of them then consulted a lo
cal wise woman, telling her of the
“vision” they had seen earlier in the
day, wh- reupon she predicted a dis
aster. Ah a result more than 200 men
refused to go down the following
morning, and. though the manager did
his utmost to induce them to resume
work, they obstinately determined to
remain idle.
And. what is more, it was not until
three days later that all the men were
at work again.
’Fheie were two curious sequels to
this Incident. One. which took place
about a week afterward, was the
prosecution and conviction of the for
tune teller for causing the miners to
absent themselves from work.
A Gruesome Discovery.
The other sequeal happened much
more recently, and was the discovery
of the skeleton of a dog-doubtless
that which had been seen by some of
the miners—in tlie workings.
The most singular trespassers in
( oal mines, perhaps, are w orkers from
