“Told By An Idiot,” but lots of
new books sound that way.
C.eorge Washington, who

If Washington really cut down

The prevailing criticism of our
departed Cabinet members seems
to be that Mr. I'a 11 was too smart
and Mr. Denby wasn’t smart
enough.

TWrus. SIMONDS listened patiently
■*■*-*• to her sister’s repeated tale of
her daughter’s misfortune. Mrs. Sl
monds had heard the story in various
ways from members of the family,
and had been moved thereby to come
on and ascertain the extent of luT fa¬
vorite niece’s mistake.
The home that Eleanor had deserted
through her hasty marriage was a
beautiful home indeed; the room in
which Eleanor’s aunt now sat was im¬
pressive and artistic in arrangement.
While Eleanor’s mother, telling her
sUNrowfuJ tale, was gowned as a wom¬
an of social prominence and fashion.
“’ihat Eleanor, upon whom her fa¬
ther and I lavished every care, to
♦ lioiy we gave every accomplishment,
should go away to marry an invalid
who may not survive city life—away
in isolation to an old farmhouse be¬
queathed him by Ids grandmother.
That they have sufficient to supply
their needs Is providential; for her
father refuses to have anything to do
with a daughter so regardless. Charlie
Stuyvesant has his pride and his dis¬
appointment.
“Wells Barker, a favorite and rising
man, was Charles' choice for Eleanor.
But would she listen?—-laughed at us.
I heard Bruce Manning inform Eleanor,
whom he insists upon calling his
‘Nellie,* that physicians' stated it may
he years before Ids j/ung will be in a
healthy condition. It was this falling
which necessitated his renouncing the
architect's profession, to live in the
open.
“The old homestead left/o Mr. Man¬
ning is in a remote place called Ban
burg; to Banburg our Eleanor depart¬
ed immediately after a hurried mar¬
riage* ceremony—upon which she in¬
sisted— that her husband might quick¬
ly obey his physician’s advice. The
two have boon married six months
now and Charles will not answer any
of Eleanor’s letters.
“All our hope now is placed In
Gwendolen. She is a lovely young
thing, and has suitors many and de¬
sirable. Charles and I like to picture
her in such a home as this; her hours
passed conventionally, as she has been
accustomed to spend them—not nurs¬
ing a poor sick man in a lonely, shab¬
by country house.”
Mrs. Stuyvesant gave a shiver of
ilisgiyt. [ He r .vagy pat dnugliter en¬
tered Hie room. Gwendolen was a
lovely girl, much as the disapproved
sister hud been at her age; but the
face showed weary lines and
Gwendolen’s tone was indifferent as
she made a request—“Warren Fair
burn wishes me to go to the theater;
I forget what play he said was (in,
but one of the best, of course. Shall
I go, mother?”
Mrs, Stuyvesant moved that she
might see the tine cal' before the door¬
way. Her smile of agreement showed
satisfaction.
“Go, of course, Gwendolen. And
wear the gold crepe.”
'.Pile room was very still after the
young girl had departed. Presently a
portly man came and sank into a
chair, witli a yawn.
“I'm rather tired,” he remarked.
“Shall it he cards again?”
Obediently, listlessly, Mrs. Stuyves¬
ant drew her chair to the inlaid table,
“Will you join us, Marion?” Charles
Stuyvesant asked.
Mi-s. Simonds arose. “If you wilt
excuse me,” she said, “I will go and
pack. I am going on to see Eleanor
in her far abode in the morning.”
'There was no sound for some time
in (lie big room, save the soft click of
cards and the musical chime of the
clock.
“Rather tired,” said Charles Stuy¬
vesant again. “Think I will retire, my
dear.”
The morning train carried Mrs. Si¬
monds to a small country station
among the hills. A young woman
there sprang from a small car to greet
her aunt, a rosy-cheeked young wom¬
an, a shining-eyed young woman, an
altogether joyous young woman.
“Darling,” greeted Eleanor, “draw
your cape close; it is chilly in the au¬
tumn hills. At home we have the jol
liest tire. And wait until you see the
hot biscuits ready for your coming.
And tins is my husband, Aunt Marion;
come to meet you In our new little
car.”
The husband, who was supposedly
Eleanor's misfortune, smiled cordially.
Mrs. Simonds at once liked that warm¬
ing smile; sincerity, too, shone in the
young man’s kindly eyes. Mrs. Si¬
monds could understand Eleanor’s en¬
tirely different point of view regard¬
ing her own state ot misfortune. Then,
close in the little car beside Bruce
Manning, the visitor looked into his
browned face. “Why 1” she remarked
cheerfully, “you do not look like a sick
nian.”
“I am fast becoming a well one,” he
pleasingly assured her.

That was too much. So a promis¬

“I want Jo see the court missionary,”

“He is sitting over there,” replied
the magistrate.

And she hurried from the court.
