T HE following story of an English
nobleman now.deceased was re
cently told In a West End club:
"The Duke was once in church when
a collection was announced for some
charitable object. The plate began to
go round, and the Duke carefully *put
h1s hand Into his pocket and took out
a florin, which he laid on the pew be
fore him ready to be transferred to the
plate
"Reside him sat a little snob, who,
noticing this action, imitated it by os
tentatiously laving a sovereign alongside
the ducal florin. This was too much for
hie Grace. who dipped his hand Into
his pocket again and pulled out another
florin, which he laid by the side of the
flrat The little snob followed suit by
laying another sovereign beside the first
His Grace quietly added a third florin.
Which was capped by a third sovereign
on the part of the little snob Out came
a fourth florin to swell the Duke’s dona
tion. and then the little snob triumph
antlv laid three sovereigns at once upon
the board The Duke, not to be beaten,
produced three florins
"Just at ihls moment the plate ar
rived The little snob took up his hand
ful of sovereigns, ostentatiously rattled
them into the plate, and then turned
defiantly toward his rival, as 1f he would
mv 'I think that takes the rise out

“Fancy his chagrin when the Duke,
with a grim smile, put one florin Into
the plate, and quietly swept the remain
ing six back Into h1s pocket!”
T HE “I C U" waist, the very
latest In feminine apparel, has
reached the United States from
Paris. With it came the modified
split-skirt—second cousin to the mod

peek-a-boo so faded that even the
"peek” was taken out of it. imagine
the fame of the dressmaker that
could claim the reputation as being
the one that had taken the peek out
of "peek-a-boo."
We were told In the dispatches that
the new waist "had a transparent

mousseline de sole, the only opaque
material used being a silk sash
around the waist; the rest, sleeves

On one occasion a well-known man
ager went to the theater for the ex-
preps purpose of encouraging a young
actor who had shown signs of ner
vousness in a new part. When the
promising young man made his exit
into the wings perspiration was
streaming down his face. The man

then said, in tones of intense admira

A funny mistake occurred lately in
printing labels for a meat preserving
company. The printer had been in
the habit of labeling tins of beef or
mutton, as the cast' might be, with
the words “without bone” prominently
displayed. The company having add-
i d kidney soup to its list, the new ar
ticle was duly ticketed as "Kidney
soup—without bone."

A.—You don’t seem to have any life

TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT.
Hr would not believe that the girl
did not liar© for him. Whatever had
been her first purpose of using him
only as an Instrument through which
to strike against his father, whatever
might be her present plan of elimi
nating him from her life In the fu
ture. he still was sure that she had
growm to know’ a real and lasting af
fection for himself. He remembered
startled glances from the violet eyes,
caught unawares, and the music of
her voice In rare Instants, and these
told tym that love for him stirred,
even though it might as yet be but
faintly, in her heart.
Out of that fact he drew an Imme
diate comfort in this period of his
misery. Nevertheless, his anguish
was a racking one. He grew older
visibly in the night and the day. There
crept suddenly lines of new feeling
into his face, and, too lines of new
strength. The boy dJea in that time;
the man was bom. came forth In the
full of h1s steadfastness and his cour
age and his love
The father suffered with the eon. He
was a proud man, intensely gratified
over the commanding position to
which he had achieved In the com
mercial world, proud of his business
integrity, of his standing in the com
munity as a leader, proud of his social
position, proud most of all of the son
whom he so loved.
Realized His Son’s Love.
Now. this hideous disaster threat
ened his pride at every turn—worse.
It threatened the one person In the
world whom he really loved. Most fa
thers would have stormed at the boy
when pleading failed, would have
given commands with harshness,
would have menaced the recalcitrant
with disinheritance.
Edward Gilder did none of the»e
things, though his heart was sorely
wounded. He loved his son too much
to contemplate making more evil for
the lad by any estrangement between
them. Yet he felt that the matter
could not safely be left in the hands
of Dick himself.
He realized that his son loved the
woman—nor oould he w onder much at
that. His keen eyes had perceived
Mary Turner’s graces of form, her
loveliness of face. He had appre
hended, too, in some measure at least,
the fineness of her mental fiber and
the capacities of her heart.
Deep within him. denied any outlet,
he knew there lurked a curious, subtle
sympathy for the girl in her scheme
of revenge against himself. Her per
sistent striving toward the object of
her ambition was something he could
understand, since the like thing in
different guise had been back of his
own business success.
He would not let the Idea rise to
the surface of consciousness, for he
still refused to believe that Mary Tur
ner had suffered at h1s hand unjustly.
He would think of her as nothing else
than a vile creature, who had caught
his son in the toils of her beauty and
charm for the purpose of eventually
making money out of the intrigue.
Gilder, in his library thl* night, was
pacing Impatiently to and fro, eagerly
listening for the sound of his son s re
turn to the house. He had been the
guest of honor that night at an Impor
tant meeting of the Civic Committee,
and he had spoken with his usual clarity
and earnestness In spite of the trouble
that beset him. Now, however, the re
generation of the city was far from his
thought, and his sole concern was with
the regeneration of a life, that of his son,
which bade fair to be ruined by the
wfie.T o' a wicked woman He was anx
ious for the coming of Dick, to whom
i he would make one more appeal If
that should fall—well, he must use the
i influences at his command to secure the
forcible parting of the adventuress from
hie son.
' ‘ Dick at Last*’ ’ He Muttered.
j The room In which he paced to and
1 fro was of a solid dignity, well fitted to
serve as an environment for Its owner.
It was very large and lofty. There was
massiveness In the desk that stood oppo
site the hall door, near a window This
particular window itself was huge, high.
! Jutting^ln octagonal, with leaded p«nee.
In addition, there was a great fireplace
set with tiles, around which was wood
work, elaborately carved, the fruit of
patient questioning abroad.
On the walls were hung some piece* of
tapestry, where there were not book
cases. Over the octagonal window, too,
such draperies fell in stately lines. Now,
as the magnate paced back and forth,
there waa only a gentle light in the room
from a reading lamp on his desk.
The huge chandelier was unlighted.
. . . . It was even as Glider, In an
Increasing irritation over the delay, had
thrown himself down on a couch which
stood Just a little way within an al
cove, that he heard the outer door open
and shut. He sprang up with an ejacu
lation of satisfaction.
“Dick at last!’’ he muttered.
It was, in truth, the son. A moment
later he entered the room and went at
once to hie father, who was standing
waiting, facing the door.
"I’m awfully sorry Tm so late. Dad,”
he said simply.
“Where have you been?" the father
demanded gravely. But there waa great
affection in the flaeh of his gray eyes as
he scanned the young man’s face, and
the touch of the hand that he put on
Dick’s shoulder was very tender “With
that woman again?”
The boy’s voice was disconsolate as
he replied:
“No, father, not with h$r She won’t
see me.”
The older man snorted a wrathful ap
preciation.
Glider Was Impressed.
“Naturally?’’ he exclaimed with ex
ceeding bitterness in the heavy voice.
"She’s got all she wanted from you—my
name!” He repeated the words, with
a grimace of exasperation “My name!"
There was a novel dignity in the son’s
tone as he spoke
"It’s mine. too. you know, sir," he
said quietly.
To Be Continued To-morrow.
A N old bachelor, who in an un

on the hook and has appealed to me
for assistance in getting free again.
He w’riteg a doleful letter in which
he says that although the girl to

nice and charming and would make
some other man an admirable wife,
he doesn’t want to marry her or any
other woman, because it will Inter
fere with all of his old bachelor ways.
H© is settled In his habits and he
doesn’t, feel that he could change
them to please a wife. For Instance,
it upsets him for the entire day to
have anybody alter the position of
his brushes on his chiffonier. And
what h© should do if he found a long
hair In his comb he trembles to con
template.
Also of an evening he likes to sit
bv himself and smok© his pip© In
silence, an amusement which in his
opinion is a million times more
pleasurable than listening to the
chatter of any wife. He dreads to
think of this unsociable custom be
ing broken up, and he palpitates with
horror lest he should not only get a
wife who would want to talk and be
talked to of an evening, but who
might put the taboo on pipes al
together.
Wants Advioa.
The poor fellow Is In a terrible
dilemma, and he asks me what I
think he should do under the circum
stances.
My advice to him Is to break off
the engagement, not for his own
sake, but in common humanity to the
girl He has become fossilized, and
fossils have no business getting mar
ried. Their proper place Is on a shelf
In a museum, or at a seat at a club
window, and not In cluttering up the
holy estate.
What would a young and blooming
girl, full of vitality and enthusiasm,
brimming over with Interest In life,
do with a man who was nothing but
a bunch of peculiarities and cranki
ness? A woman with “ways” Is bad
enough, goodness knows, but heaven
help the poor girl who marries a man
with “ways.” There are many men
who are hard to live with, but the
sissy man with all sorts of little fln-
nteky habits has gotten all the bal
ance of them beaten a city block.
However, I commend my corre
spondent for one thing. He Is can
did and honest with himself and with
the girl. He knows he wouldn't
make a good husband, and he warns
the girl of his cantankerousness be

This is, at least, playing the game
squarely, and it’s a pity that more
men don’t show the same sportsman
like attitude toward matrimony. If
they did, there would be fewer mar
riages. but happier ones
For example, the man who is stingy
and who feels as If he were parting

miracle in him that will make him
generous. He Is perfectly aware of
how grudgingly he is going to pay his
family expenses. Why shouldn't he
emulate the example of my corre
spondent and be frank with the wom
an he asks to marry him? He might
say to her when he popped the ques
tion, "I love you, kid, but oh, my
pooketbook!”
That would give the girl a chance
to know the difficulties she was sure
to confront In matrimony, and If she
thought she would not enjoy cork-
husband, she could decline
But the man never says a word to har
concerning his miserly habits, and ao
the poor, ignorant girl goaa blunder
ing along Into a lifetime of begging
and coaxing for pennies, and of get
ting scolded because she can’t run a
house on air.
Certainly the man who doe* not Ilka
to talk, or to be talked to, and who
has the fixed habit of spending Ms
evenings In solitude over pipe and pee
per, Is In honor bound to warn th*
woman he marries that that Is what
she has got to expect If ahe becomes
his wife. And. believe m*. there’would
be a mighty falling olT In the ringing
of wedding balls If girls knew how
often they were getting a dummy in
stead of a live husband.
You see the poor things marry fee
companionship. They dream at the
jolly times they are going to have go
ing about with their husbands, or th*
dear heart-to-heart talks thay ara
going to enjoy across their own drop
light, and when they find out that
hubby 1s always too tired to go eot to
any place of amusement, and that his
entire stock of domestic conversation
consists of a few grunts, they gat the
jar of their lives and wonder why
they left their happy homes for this.
Nor Is 1t very lively for a woman to
spend the evening at home aloa* be
cause her husband has the club habit
and prefers to play poker With a let
of men to making himself agreeable
to his wife. Few girls have to merry
in this day for support. They have a
good home, or else they can make on*
for themselves. Also, they have their
friends and amusements, and there 1#
nothing meaner, nor crueller, for a
man to do than to take a young wom
an out of her own gay and pleasant
environment and dump har down In a
strange place and leave her by her
lonely. Unless be mean* to bear her
company and to make her Iff* happy
and cheerful he has no right to merry
her.
Another Don’t.
Likewise, the man who knows him
self to be fickle, and that his errant
fancy is snared by every pretty faoe
that passes, ehould give himself the
benefit of the doubt and stay single.
He shouldn’t marry to tear his wife's
heart with Jealousy
And no man ehoUM marry until he
has finished sowing his wild oats
crop. As long as jnan wants to run
with the boys, and com«^ home at all
hours of the night, he fAould be hu
mane enough not to infifet on an In
nocent woman the ea.d lot of the
drunkard’s wife.
In a word, unless a man can make
up his mind to change his habits. If
they are bad one*, and adapt his ways,
to those of the woman He marries, he
should stay single.

“Money? He can have as much
money as he wants for all I care.”
“Come, sit where Grannie and I
wer© this morning. It Is so cosy
talking across her dear little, round
breakfast table—sugar and cream,
sir?” She laughed at h©T merry
fancy.
“Don’t Charlotte—that hurts.” he
said, In a voice that he tried to keep
smooth and impassive. But the
thought of pretty Charlotte in the
gentle intimacy of the breakfast hour
waa almost more than hls heart couiti
bear.
Charlotte dismissed her game, since
it appeared, for some reason which
she could not fathom, to be most un
welcome. “Then If the Duke i* wel
come to our money—’Which is most
important, I should think—what Is It
you object to?” There was a long
pause—Jacob wondered dully ho v
much a man might bear. "Oughtn’t I
to ask? Dear Jacob, shall we forget
I tried to pry into your private—
and, no doubt, very good—reasons?”
Jacob laughed roughly and uneven
ly—a laugh In which there was no
mirth. “ ‘My reasons.’ I must tell
you—I must. Little Charlotte, your
fate Is being sealed In that room up
stairs. Now you know.”
“My fate! But I do not understand
How does it ooncern ms?”
“The Duke will ask for you in mar
riage—he Is to tnarry you as part jf
the bargain—In return for the ser
vices our family is rendering him. It
is all your father’s clever idea. He i3
the cleverest of us all. He can turn
almost anything to good account.
Even hls own daughter.” So flowered
the seed of bitterness Solomon had
sown in Jacob’s heart.
Charlotte answered with gentle ear
nestness: “You must not speak liko
that of my father. Remember that I
love him—and although you and even
I may not understand all he does—he
loves me and he tries to do hls best
for me.”
“So you will marry the Duke?”
Jacob in turn questioned gently—
but he had not dreamed that her love
for her father would carry, the girl
so far—where, in truth, was her re
sentment at being the puppet for
for use in her father’s tremendous
schemes? Charlotte did not an
swer.
Jacob spoke again: “You like him,
don’t you ?” Masculine jealously sug
gested a solution of Charlotte’s
strange attitude. She must like the
man, else how coud she so calmly
take the great news of how her fate
was being settled In the room above.
"I like him—yes. He Is clever—
more so than he pretends to be. And
he has a kind heart, too—though he
likes to appear bitter sometimes—but
he ought to outgrow that. He is quite
young.” Charlotte spoke her thoughts
aloud, in calm consideration of this
most unexpected turn of events. But,
after all, she waa accustomed to her
father’s wizardry.
Life Had Been Easy.
" ’Young’—'And handsome.' ’’ said
Jacob.
The arlrl continued in her train of
thought. "Yes, He la handsome and
he Is not conceited.’
"In fact, he has a perfect character
—as well as a grand position. What
more could a girl of my people—-of
ANY people—want?"
Charlotte answered dreamily—the
bitterness of her cousin's tone had not
yet echoed Its way Into her conscious

life from what I hays always pie
