Their Married Life By MABEL HERBERT URNER. M the top of the ete#»p flight of I tables were arranged along the walls, teps Helen looked down Into 18 Ht Maxim’s, but here the noise and F ^ROM ' steps the dingy, dimly lit basement known as the “Chat Nolr"—the fa mous "Black rat." "Not a very cheerful looking Joint,” commented Warren. “Dear, do you suppose it's safe?” she said nervously. "Baedeker says some of these place* are regular dens of thieves and outlaws.” "Rot!" Warren started down the stepa "Come on.” Inside was a long room with low wooden rafter*, a sawdusted floor, rough, bare tables and benches. Over an old brick fireplace *at a huge blacu cat, whose yellow glasa eyes were Jit up by a lamp or candle. Around the wall ran a shelf on which was a curious collection of cats, all of them black. As the only lights In the place shone through the bulg ing eye* of these animals, the effect was most weird. At one of the tables, three long haired, velvet-jacketed men were sip ping beer To Helen's amassment and embarrassment they rose as ahe entered, bowed, waved their glasses toward her and called out: “Volla la petite dame en blanc— and Bohemians of Montmartre was What They Meant. "What do they mean?” whisperco Helen, drawing closer to Warren. "Your dress 1* white, and they’re calling out a welcome to the ‘worn..a In white.' But it's all a part of the fake. Those guys are hired to pose as Bohemians—to g eet the people and give the place atmosphere. ' Helen remembered that her guidr book said that at the Black Cat the cabaret had originated, but that now this once favored resort of the artists and Bohemians of Monir.nrtre was frequented only by sightseers. Warren wus right. These velvet- coated men were evidently hired to fake the former spirit and atmosphere of the place. An attendant now appeared an 1 suggestively wiped off the table be fore them. Warren ordered some beer, which seemed to be the drink then*. Prom somewhere came a shrill tin kle of a bell, and a white curtain was dropped before a miniature stage in a recess of the wall. One of the long-haired youths, a stick In his hand, a slouch hat on his flowing locks, now arose and began to sing. He stood by the toy stage, which re minded Helen of the Punch and Judy theaters of her childhood. With the second verse of the rol licking French song, the black shad ows of tiny marionettes were thrown on the small curtain. *'lf this is a real shadow play. It’s good fun,” exclaimed Warren, leaning forward with Interest. The emu it figures were cleverly ma nipulated, and their black shadows danced across the white sheet In comieai pantomime. When they finally flashed off, the tiny stage dark-* ed and everybody applauded. hilarity were unlike anything they had seen. The diners were throwing confetti, singing, cheering, and the air was thick with smoke and heavy with the odor of champagne. There seemed not a vacant place, but at fat, red- faced Frenchman in tight-fitting evening clothes, evidently the pro prietor, found'them two seals near the orchestra "Will we have to order cham pagne?” demurred Helen, who strong ly objected to paying a high price for a wine that she really dMiked. "That's all right here They're giv ing you something for your money. Pretty gay, eh?" as a girl in a red spangled skirt frisked by, her skirts so stiff and short that they brushed a match-safe from their table. Felt Nervous. Advance Fashions for Fall Wear Fully Described by Olivette The man who waj fitting nwxt to Helen had his arm around the pratty French girl with him. Another girl had tied her pink chiffon hat with lta velvet streamers on the head of her black-miiatached escort. Helen was not sure that she want ed to stay. She felt Just a little ner vous, the gayety was a bit too loud and too hilarious. But Warren w*e enjoying It hugely. At a high desk In the comer sat a stout Frenchwoman, probably the wife of the proprietor. It was she who checked off the bottles of cham pagne as they were carried out, made change for the waiters and kept a general shrewd surveillance over everything Plainly it was her policy to keep up the gavefy, for the greater the vayety the more frequent the orders for wine. And now, when for a mo ment the merriment flagged, she beckoned one of the dancing girls and gave her a large paper filled with colored halls. With a shout, the girls tossed the balls among the guests. Then fol lowed a fast volley of Are hack and forth. The gay little balls, about the size of a walnut, were light enough to be thrown freely without harm "Why, T believe that girl's trying to swat me," grinned Warren, as he dodged the third hall thrown direct ly at him hv a pretty girl sitting with a French officer across the room. "Watch me give her one,” hut he succeeded only in hitting the bald bead of a passing waiter. The girl threw another which War ren caught and tossed back with better aim. For the next few mo ments they pelted each other until the balls were all broken. Helen could not help thinking it rather un dignified. Warren did not often un bend like this, but perhaps it was the spirit of the place. When this diversion had died out. the Ingenious madame produced a bag of toy balloons and later another of confetti. "They know how to make the thing pay here,” declared Warren. "But that's all right, they're working hard to give the people what they think they want.” ~n the next lull the orchestra rose en - . f , — "Well, let's move on." euggestel and marched gayly, In single flic, Warren "We've seen about all that s around the room.

Berlin Knfliah UuultOon an* fomi llat'i-n by A VERY unusual suit is this, * — with its bretelles extend ing down to form the outer stripes of the muff, which is fashioned of the same silky zibeline used for the suit. The skirt is a simple circu lar affair, with a slight up ward draping into a narrow, half belt at the back. The coat is cut single- breasted, and fastens down the center front from throat to hem with large crocheted buttons. The collar is a Robespierre, with tiny cords extending from its front corners and ending in balls of the astrak han or Persian which is used to trim the bretelles and muff. The feature of the suit is, of course, the combination collar and muff. This collar starts from a deep yoke-like point in the back, crosses the shoulders in six-inch bands, whose inner edge is in turn banded with the fur, and down the center of which is an applique braiding in applied points. A crossbar extends across the chest, and joins the two sides of this unique cloth “chain.” The muff is made in five panels—the outer ones being the continuation of the shoul der bands, the next repeating the motive and pattern of the outer band, with the braiding and fur slightly wider than that used in the bretelles. For the center panel of the muff the zibeline is used. The woman who likes novel ty in her costumes will find this a most useful if unusual way of having her muff ever safely at hand. —OLIVETTE.

On one occasion when a certain Parliamentary candidate, known as a clever .speaker and very effective in dealing with a hostile audlnce, was ad dressing a meeting in his constitu ency, he had no sooner risen and said, "Gentlemen,” than someone threw an egg at him. Quite unperturbed, he turned to the offender and said: "I wus not speaking to you, sir.” "Well, did you discover anything in Stump's past life that we can use against him?" Detective—Not a thing. All he ever did before he came here was to sell awnings Election Agent—Why, that’s Just what wo want. We'll say that he has been mixed up In some decidedly shady transactions. HE’S engaged and she has a good- loking cousin. When she meets the good-look ing cousin he kisses her. and when he leaves her he kissee her again. The fiance say* the cousin has got to stop kissing ills sweetheart or there will be trouble, and now the sweetheart writes mo a letter to know what to do about it. "I like my cousin, and I don’t want to hurt his feelings," says the girl who gets kissed; "but I love my sweetheart and don’t want to make him really an gry Still. 1 don’t think he ought to be so bossy, do you and Isn’t It all right for cousins to kiss?

And then your sweetheart doesn't be long to your family- and never will— you will belong to his family, and per haps they don’t klsa—in that circle— not cousins, anyhow and so you'll have to think It over and do what sweet heart wants you to do about the kiss ing Why not* What la there so entrancing about kissing that cousin that you even hes Itate a minute about turning your cheek the other way when you see him com ing? Silly—your sweetheart’s Idea about it? Well maybe and maybe not; but any how, it is his idea, and why shouldn't you please him in the matter? What if he likes blue and you keep on wearing pink what if he likes chick en and you in&.st on ordering veal. What If he likes poetry and you want him to read the millinery "ads"-—do you think these things will tend to make him that much fonder of you? Why not giva up to him In this mat ter—It Is, after all, unimportant to you and Important to him what’s the use of making a fuss about It? I know a woman and a man who di vorced each other because the man played the guitar and the wife wouldn’t play his accompaniments on the piano. It didn’t end with that, but it’s how the whole trouble began What a goose that woman was not to play any old accompaniment her husband thought he wanted! What hurt could it have done her or any one else? What’s the difference, anyhow? If you love the man you want to please him, don’t you? Well, a wfse woman told me once that the way to please a man was to give up to him In ail the little things that don't count and hang on to your own way in all the big things that do count—he’ll be willing to give up to you in them Men don’t mind big sacrifices. A man will give you $100 and quarrel over 10 cents too much on the grocery bill. That’s the way men are made. Why not make up your mind te take them as they are and not as you think they should be. and then, honestly, now, hasn’t Sweetheart a pretty cousin some where? If he has, Just get her to corns and see you. and every time Sweetheart kisses pretty cousin see how you feel about It. That may help you to under stand Sweetheart’s attitude a little bet ter Out of Fashion.

Irr for out-of-town 'ntatonirra him enough fudge to pay for lessons; and he sees him as a gay deceiver. Maybe he Is one, too, even If he is your cousin. And besides, little girl, kissing is out of fashion except among re-al sweet hearts; didn’t you know that? Ten years ago every time you had tea with a friend she kissed you when you came and kissed you when you went. The woman who tries to kiss a friend now except In really solemn times is looked upon as Just the least little bit In bad form. Didn’t you know that? Hand holding has gone out, too, and waist spanning. Girls don't paw each other the way they used to. And cous ins—well, cousins aren’t nearly so much relation to each other as they were when they were all liable to be brought up under the same roof. Keep cousin at a distance, little girl, to please your self as well as your Sweetheart. It can’t do any harm and It may do a whole lot of good. The financier almost eagerly took a seat, and, as he was composing him self, he reflected that this was the first time Allan had ever addressed him without the prefix of "Mr.” He had always longed for that familiar ity, but he found no comfort In it now. His cigar, less than half burned, was out; but he threw it away and lit another. Allan watched him in si lence, and Wolf wished that the light ing of the cigar might consume an hour. At last he threw the match away and leaned back. "I’m terribly distressed about Han son,” he said, in tones that he strove to make grave and pitying. "He was an extraordinarily bright man. He would have been Invaluable to us In a few years, Mr. Allan.” Allan nodded grimly. "He certainly was bright,” ho con ceded acidly. "One of the brightest young men that ever handled books, by all accounts. As to his probable future value, there Is a field for a wide difference of opinion." "Why. what do you mean?” asked Wolf, with a well-feigned stare or surprise. “Is anything wrong?” Allan laughed; but the sound of it did not move his visitor to Join In. "If there is anything wrong with Ranson’s accounts,” declared Wolf, sitting up proudly, “I will assume full responsibility, as I wired you.” Tl?e Charge. Allan leaned forward, his lips set in a thin line. "Let’s leave Ranson out of it. Wolf,” he said, grimly. "Ranson is dead—his chapter Is closed. I dldn t call you back to talk about Ranson, but about Ranson’s bookkeeping." "Well, what of it?” The other at tempted to bluster. "Just this much—you have embez zled something like $10,000,000!” Wolf knew that he should spring up at this# point In Indignant denials, but Allan’s eyes—cold, hard and men- acing—held him. He moistened his lips. "You must be crazy, Mr. Allan! he gasped. Allan looked him over swowly, from head to foot. "Is that ail you have to say be fore I call a policeman?” Wolf swallowed hard, but at last managed to find some semblance of his natural voice. "Why, Mr. Allan, you must be out of your mind!” he cried. "You have had someone going over my books In my absence? You have, eh? Well, you might know that no mere ac countant could understand these transactions. I know perfectly well that our cash shows a shortage of some millions just at this time. That has happened once or twice before when I have been on the wrong side of the market!” "Oh! It has?" "Why, certainly!” returned Wolf, with some return of confidence as he felt his voice swelling out. "You know what my transactions are— what mv business for the syndicate Is. As I telegraphed you—you could understand—I have not been lucky this time—pretty near the first time, too. I sold cotton too early, on the advice of that fool Harding In Liver pool. I fired him. Then I held on to tin too long. I don’t often get two facers like that in a row, and I'm sor ry—but I’ll have It all cleaned up and a healthy balance showing by the first of the year." "I hope we will," said Allan, grimly. "I am sure we will,” declared Wolf. "I said ‘we,’ not ‘you,’ ” Allan cor rected him, with Icy precision. Wolf gulped and chewed his cigar. "I don’t think you ought to take It this way, Mr. Allan,” he pleaded, un steadily. "I have made millions for the syndicate, and It Isn’t fair to talk about embezzling when I make a mis take. I knew you needed money, and I was desperate to get it, and it led to making mistakes that I couldn't—” "That's enough, Wolf,” interrupted the chief, half raising his hand. "You know perfectly well that the syndi cate will back you up without a word In any losses you Incur when you are handling the syndicate’s money foi the syndicate’s profit to the best of your ability. In this case you were not doing that.” "But, Mr. Allan, that Isn’t true!" cried Wolf, desnerately. "I have al ways worked for the Syndicate in everything that ” "Drop it, Wolf," snapped Allan. ”T’m tired of listening to these lies. You aren’t even man enough to own up. You have been speculating on your own account with the Syndi cate’s money. You have deposited these sums, aggregating something like $10,000.000—and we don’t know yet how much more—in European banks in the name of Wolf son—not the Tunnel Syndicate. You have been gambling with money that we need— cash that we need badly, and you’ve lost it. You’re a plain crook—and if you're alive by this time to-morrow, you’ll be arrested. Now—get out!” At these words Wolfs returning confidence dropped from him like a mask. He got unsteadily to his feet. Funeral Designs and Flowers FOR ALL OCCASIONS.

But he saw one ray of hope and grasped at it. "But you can't mean that!” ha pleaded, desperatelv. "Think of all the work that I have done and that remains for me to do for the Syndi cate. Why. I’ve made millions for you and ” "That was your duty,” cut in Al lan, mercilessly. "You were paid well for that.” "Certainly! certainly!” agreed Wolf, with pitiful eagerness. "But this—this last—doesn’t amount to very much, Mr. Allan. It can be fixed up in a few months—and I am the only man who can do it.” There was no softening in Allan’s grim face and Wolf played hts trump. "All right!” he cried, "have me ar rested—have me tried! I’ll go down —but the Syndicate will go down with me!” Now, Allan knew that this was the mere truth. In Its present shaky financial condition, the Syndicate could not stand a blow like the ar rest, or even the suicide, of Wolf, Ranson’s sudden death had been made to appear an accident—publicly at least. But, privately, It was believed to be a suicide In Just the quarters where such belief could work the most harm. If Wolf’s death or arrest—and on such a charge—came on top of the Ranson incident, nothing could save the Syndicate from a crash and a money panic would follow such as the world had never seen before. But Allan was human and he was swayed by human weaknesses at times. Being a strong man, he was a strong hater. He hated Wolf in the first place just because he was Wolf. Now he hated him doubly because he was a pitiful coward. If it had been pos sible he would have. escaped under the cover of the death of his tool, Ranson. And now he was making a groveling plea for mercy. Allan thought that Wolf ought to kill him self out of respect for mankind, but this was not the time for him to do it. He would simply scare him to the limit and let him off until there was a safer time to crush him. "The Syndicate is my business,” he said. "But you can’t want to drive me to death!” gasped Wolf, hoarsely. "You don’t mean that, Allan. I’ll make restitution inside of three weeks. I will—as sure as I’m alive I’ll ” "That’ll do, Wolf. I’ve said my last word. Get out!” p'clous that a man reading a news paper on the curb glanced at him out. of the corner of his eye and walked ; slowly down after him, ostentatiously studying the numbers of the houses as if looking for an address. In a few minutes he lost sight of him, but he knew that this man and others were watching him. When he reached his apartment he was so tired physically that his mind became truly active at last, after 24 hours of numbness. He began to think clearly, or what he thought was clearly. Then & perfectly simple and smooth plan presented itself to him. He would go away! He knew, of course, that any at tempt to draw money at his own bank would only precipitate what he dreaded. But he had his gambling winnings in hla pocket. He telephoned to a broker, told him a perfectly plausibel lie and had him send up $20,000 in cash for the check*. While the money was on the way he ba-thert and dressed. His idea was tp go otrt openly spend the entire day In shaking off detectives, slip Into the subway, tfo north to the terminus and vtrtv# crons-country to a small railroad suc tion and board a Canadian train thersuL For an hour he ducked and dodged^ and doubled in the maelstrom, and when he was certain that he had shaken off his pursuers, he made for Central Park as a Anal test. He roamed the park for an hour and saw no sign of a detective. Then he called a cab and went to a barber shop, where he had his hair cut short and | his mustache removed. The Disguise. There vVas a little clothing store a few doors down from the barber shop Wolf staggered into his car and told the chauffeur to drive him to his apartment on Riverside Drive. He was still in a sort of trance when he arrived there. He took three or four drinks of brandy. The thought of food almost nauseated him. He paced up and down his rooms, chewing unlit cigars, and every time he passed the buffet he grasped a bottle at random and poured himself a drink. He did not know what it was he was drink ing. and none of it had any effect. Once, when he went to the front windows, he noticed that a car was standing across the way from his own. The chauffeur was tinkering with the engine. It 'must have been a pretty bad breakdown, for the car remained all the time he was In his apartment. Finally he went downstairs and or dered himself driven to his club. The chauffeur across the street seemed to have repaired the damages at last, for he started off after Wolf’s car. Wolf saw him and understood. De tectives were watching him. A man named De Maupassant once wrote a story in which he told of a coward who wrestled with himself all night before he was to fight a duel and finally committed suicide to avoid it. Wolf was a coward, and. If you have ever read this story, you will understand what was passing In his mind. The worst that could overtake him would be arrest, liberation on bail, a trial on a highly technical charge w’ith plenty of room for clever de fense. To the average man in these circumstances the thought of suicide would be almost humorous. Winnings. But to Wolf anything seemed pref erable to arrest. It w T as not the dis grace or the ordeal of trial and pos sible conviction that daunted him. He thought of none of these things. His disordered mind simply shrank from the picture of a detective laying his hand on his shoulder. His distraught manner attracted some attention at the club, but he went into the gambling room and gambled for big stakes, laughing loudly and drinking much, for his luck was phenomenal. He played all night, his luck shifting somewhat, but when morning came and he finally withdrew, he had more than $20,000 in checks in his pocket and a few hundred in cash of his own. When he went out Into the street after a cup of coffee, he was con- —over on the East Side. Here he bought a new outfit of cheap clothes, which he donned at once. It was dark now and he went forth confident that he was safe. He found a cab at Twenty-eighth street and drove to the address near the subway station at Worth street, which he fig ured would be little used on the up town side at that hour. He was right. When he walked through the gate onto the platform, there was no one In sight, but a few moments later a man came througn the gate. He opened a newspaper an I glanced at It, paying no attention tj Wolf. The latter was so certain that he had eluded pursuit that he gave the stranger no more than a passing glance—but that was enough. He recognized him, with a start, as a man who had played poker with him on the way over from Europe! For an instant Wolf almost swayed on his feet under the shock. Then it flashed through his mind that his dis guise must be perfect, as this man did not recognize him. But that thought had barely come to comfort him when it was driven away by an other. Suppose this man was one of Allan’s detectives, watching him on his way home! He timidly eyed him again, but ha could not see his face. It was con cealed behind the newsoaper. There was a rumble of an approaching train as Wolf walked slowly past for a closer scrutiny. Then he saw that the paper had a little slit or tear up the middle, through which the stranger could watch him when he pleased! The train roared Into the station and Wolf, with a sudden yell of de spair, turned and cast himself under the wheels Just as the detective leaped for him. The Panio. I T was five minutes after 7 ofelock when Wolf t as "round to pieces under the wheels of the subway train. At ten past 7 Allan knew what had happened. At a quarter past he was In conference with the head of. the publicity department, and the provisional head of finance, while his secretary was getting the directs *0 on the telephone for a special meeting at 9 o’clock.
