His sympathy with the oppressed was
almost abnormal so that says Mrs
Davis it was a difficult matter to
keep order with children and serv
ants All this shows that he was
nervous sensitive which is a terrible
handicap to a leader of men He suf
fered always from nervous dyspepsia
and neuralgia and came home from
his office fasting a mere mass of
throbbing nerves and perfectly ex
hausted He was keenly susceptible
to the atmosphere about him especial
ly to the moods of people abnormal
ly sensitive to disapproval Even a
childs disapproval discomposed him
And Mrs Davis admits that this sen
sitiveness and acute feeling of being
misjudged made him reserved and un
approachable It made him touchy as
to his dignity also and there are sto
ries of his cherishing a grudge for
some insignificant or imagined slight
and punishing the author of it Gama

Irving and His Money
John Hare the English actor said
that one of the failings charged to
Irvings account was that of extrava
gancethat he did not know the value
of money It is quite true he did not
know the value of money for himself
but he knew its value to others He
knew its value to the poor and help
less and to these he gave with a
lavish hand
Once not long before his death
playing a three nights engagement in
an unpretentious midland town his
habit was to drive nightly to the thea
ter a very short distance from his
hotel in the same dilapidated fly The
fare was a shilling The conve3ance
was shabby the driver old poor and
worn out At the conclusion of the
engagement on entering his hotel Irv
ing said to the landlord Have you
paid the cabman Yes Sir Henry
What did you give him for himself
I gave him half a crown Sir Henry
Give him a sovereign was the re
joinder he drives very well and he
doesnt drive often
The Myth of the Doones
How largely Mr Blackmore drew
upon his imagination for the story of
Lorna Doone is made clear by F
W Hackwood in his book The Good
Old Times There were in fact no
Dooucs The word was simply a local
bogy a modified form of Dane a
memory of the faroff times when the
viking invaders harried the land The
only vestige of actuality discoverable
is a faint tradition that a fugitive from
the battle of Sedgmoor to escape the
hangings of Judge Jeffreys appropriat
ed the ruins of some wretched huts in
recesses of the Badgworthy glen now
the Doon valley finding there a safe
retreat in which he reared a consider
able family which managed to eke out
a living by committing petty depreda
tions in the district The last of the
Doones an old man and his grand
daughter are said to have perished in
the snow during the winter of 1800

Such opportunities as this are not

the male bobcat the female coyote

course some people who cannot play
upon a mandolin but anybody can

1 Girl Has an Opportunity
to Know Her Friends
By BARBARA THORPE

ciation 1911
Clara Bates with whom I had stood
as bridesmaid wrote me that she was
try place during Lent and wished me
to come to her at that time I accept
ed and a couple of weeks before Easter
went to the Eyrie as they called the
place it was on high ground where
I found a very pleasant party assem
bled
Nevertheless all the guests had not
yet arrived The second day after I
reached the Eyrie our hosts gave an
automobile excursion Feeling indis
posed I remained at home Late in
the afternoon thinking a little fresb
air would do me good I concluded to
take a walk As I was going down
stairs the front door opened and a
woman carrying a hand bag entered
I met her in the hall and she said to
me
I have just arrived from the city
It seems that the hostess Is away
Have you any idea where I shall find
my room
I have not I replied I supposed
every room was occupied I heard
Mrs Bates say so yesterday
The woman looked troubled
You are quite welcome I added
to make yourself at home in my
room I am going for a walk and by
the time I return our hostess may be
here to receive you
I showed her to my room and went
off on my ramble I was somewhat
preoccupied for the reason tliat Ralph
Priestley had been paying me a great
deal of attention and having met
Sadie Stamper a prettier girl than I
among the guests was withdrawing
his attention from me and bestowing
it on her Indeed this was partly the
reason why I didnt go on the automo
bile trip He had arranged to go in
the same conveyance as my rival and
I preferred staying at home to seeing
him devoted to her I returned just
as the autos pulled up at the door
and I saw Ralph hand Sadie out of
the machine and saw or thought I
saw a mutual Iovelight in their eyes
But perhaps It was jealousy
At any rate my mind was too full
of my affair to think anything about
the guest who had arrived and whom
I had left in my room Indeed I for
got all about her At dinner I noticed
an expression of dismay on the part
of several of the girls of the party
A 4PB

v otS
I MET HIM EXTENDING MY HAND
and it was evident from a restraint
that had come over the party that
something had happened
The next morning on exchanging
words with several of the girls I no
ticed that they scarcely answered me
while some of them failed to give nit
any reply whatever But what was
my indignation when Sadie Stamper
passed me with a look of contempt
and without even a nod I was in a
very perplexed and troubled state of
mind when Clara took me upstairs to
her room shut the door and said to
me
My dear you bave been made the
victim of a conspiracy On our return
from the auto ride yesterday several
of the guests found that certain valu
ables they bad left in their rooms were
missing John was horrified He tele
phoned for a detective who came
right up and investigated the matter
The only servant in the house while
we were away was old Martha who
has been in our family forty years
and was my nurse when a baby While
you were all in the drawing room after
dinner the detective searched the
house Several bits of jewelry none
of any great value were found hidden
away in tbe back part of one of your
bureau drawers
Now keep cool she said quickly
sealng the expression of despair on my
face No one can make me believe
anything wrong about you Some one
placed the things there to escape sus
picion by incriminating you
I threw my arms about her nock and
burst into a passionate weeping
I remained in my room or Claras
most of the day I was altogether
too wrought upon by my misfortune to
take any thought for my defense In
the afternoon I had regained enough
of my equanimity to talk with Clara
especially sure I was the thief was
Sadie Stamper
And the new guest I said how
does slie feel about it
What new guest
The one who arrived yesterday aft
ernoon
No guest arrived yesterday after
noon
She came while you were all away
I received her for you and since I did
not know what room to put her in
I left her in mine Come to think of
it Ive not seen her since
It was all out that the thief was this
woman who had passed herself off on
me as her guest Clara was so delight
ed at what she considered my vindi
cation that she was about to run
downstairs to make it public when I
to have a house party at their coun stopped her I had suddenly regained
my head
Not so fast I said Who will be
lieve my story of this woman whom
no one but I have seen
I do
Of course you do but there are
others who will not Promise me that
for the present you will keep the mat
ter secret
Other purposes than vindication
crowded upon me I wished to see
how Ralph Priestley would treat me
while under a cloud Shortly before
dinner I went down into the parlor
Now that the matter was explained
to my own and my hosts satisfaction
I felt easier in presence of the others
There were several in the room when
I entered including Ralph and Sadie
who were sitting together on a
In the center of the room I
walked past both of them without
looking at either and I did not bear
myself like a thief by any means
I walked to a window where I
stood looking out for a few minutes
then passed into the library Seating
myself at the long table in the center
of the room I took up a periodical I
had been there but a few minutes
when Ralph Priestley entered I could
see by the expression on his face his
knit brows that he was very much
disturbed
I have been seeking an opportu
nity he began when I stopped him
looking at him as severely as I could
and pointing to the door
Please listen to me he began
again
I will not listen to any man who
while I suffer under a false accusa
tion not only fails to give me his sup
port but turns against me
I have not turned against you I
You have devoted yourself to one
who has assumed that I am guilty
and has treated me accordingly
I arose and swept out of the room
Smarting as I was under his having
transferred his attentions to my rival
a rival who had taken no pains to
conceal her opinion that I had stolen
the missing jewels I confess I reveled
in my treatment of Ralph Priestley
Finding that he was endeavoring to
see me alone I persistently kept out
of his way except when there were
others about
As soon as the detective was in
formed of my story as to the woman
who had passed herself off as a guest
he began operations on a different line
He took down as minute a description
of her as I was able to give him also
a description of every article that was
missing I asked him why she had
hidden the articles in my bureau draw
er and he said that by incriminating
some one in the house she hoped to
divert suspicion from herself long
enough to dispose of her plunder
For several days while he was at
work on the case I remained with
the party affable to those who were
affable to me paying no attention to
those who were cool to me There
was a side play going on that I enjoy
ed watching Sadie Stamper was en
deavoring to hold on to Ralph Priest
ley and Ralph was trying to get rid
of her The poor fellow was between
two fires He knew that I would not
listen to him so long as he continued
his attentions to Sadie and to break
away from her was not an easy mat
ter especially as his only excuse was
that she believed me a thief which
was no more than others of the party
believed
Then one morning the detective re
ported that he had found some of the
missing property in a pawnshop and
within a couple of days after the dis
covery had arrested a woman with
more of it in her possession She tal
lied with my description of her and
turned out to be living in the neigh
borhood of the Eyrie This was the
reason she knew of the house party
and the automobile excursion and was
able to concoct her plan of robbing
the house
That evening at dinner our host let
out the story returning a number of
the missing articles to their owners
I was now in a very enviable posi
tion I knew those who were friend
ly to me and had honored me with
their confidence while I had been un
der a cloud and I knew those who
had not They all crowded around
me to show their good will and assure
me that they had not for a moment
believed me to be guilty The only
person who did not approach me was
Ralph Priestley whose every effort to
do so I had succeeded In thwarting
Now that I was vindicated he not
only kept away from me but Clara
came to me after dinner to tell me
that he was going away on a late
train I watched for him to come
downstairs and when he came pre
pared for the journey I met him and
extended my hand His countenance
changed from a very lugubrious ex
pression to a very happy one We
went into a side room and I kept him
there till it was too late to make his
train
It was Sadie who made the first
break in the circle for I not only de-
about the matter and asked her which cllned to notice her but since Ralph
one of the party believed me guilty understood that he must choose be- I
The only one she mentioned as being tween us he chose me
