Out of the window I look from my stall
For the last time, and I see thm all.
Master and mistress, and children dear,
That havo loved and petted me many a year;
And for many a year It nan been my pride
To give them pleasure In drive and ride.
Never a blow from my roaster's whip;
Nothing but kindness from hand or Up;
A well-kept stabte and stalls of state
And whatever means comfort for me and ray mate.
Shining harness, and trappings of gold
And blankets and bedding to keep out cold!
Oh! a beautiful life we have had. I say;
But now it Is over; they sold us today.
A monstrous creature whose voice and breath-
Despeak it a herald of horror and death,
lias taken our place. In the curve of the drive
Stolid and shapeless and unalive
I tee It standing. In stable and stall
They are widening doorways and moving a wall
To give it shelter. Tomorrow we go
To a home and master we do not know.
We know not whither; we know not whether
We go divided or go together.
But we know we are leaving the things grown dear;
And we know a stranger will take us from here;
And stranger voices and stranger faces
Will make a desert of other places.
Out in the driveway my master stands.
Petting bis monster with eyes and hands.
While mistress and children the praises sing
Of a stolid and shapeless and senseless thing.
It makes no answer with whlnney or neigh.
Yet we are to go and the Thing will stay.
Out of the window I look from my stall.
For the last, last time, and I see them all.

FIFTH EPISODE.
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
(Copyright. 1915, Star Oo.)
Lack of thoroughness la one of woman's
faults. It Is a sunrlslng fact that few
omen who read are able to correctly
state the meaning- of sentences which
have been clearly expressed .. by the
Author. Over and
over the proof cf
this statement has
been brought to
the attention of
the writer of this
article.
Not many weeks
ago an article ap
peared on this
oage regarding- the
illmony of di
vorced wives. The
itatement was most
Jistinclly made
j( children should
ecelve money for
.Ue . support of
liese children; but it wn further rtated,
nd in now repeated, that the woman
who is not a mother (and whose health
has not been dentroyd by indulgence
and luxury), lowered her dignity and her
self respect in allowing a dlvorceed hus
Iwnd to support her.
Hpecial stress was placed upon the
point that divorced women, who ex.
plotted themselves in pi bllo and carried
on romantic affairs with other men
while being supported by their divorced
husband., dishonored their own sex and
digraccd the name of womanhood.
This article has brought loud com
plaints -from many dive reed wives, al
most invariably bringing up the point
that they possessed children and they
raw no reason why the istliers of these
fhildren should not support them.
Why are women so insreurate and In
attentive when reading: Before they
waste time, temper, stationary and
pottage stamps in writing a protest re
garding an article, why do they not read
It carefully and tflscov-r whether there
la t-ause for the protest? One woman
writes that she has beci married twenty
three years to a man who began to spend
his time and money in a!oons during the
honeymoon and liss never discontinued
the habit
.she had borne him a family of chll
itreu. and pcrtormed all aorta of labor
to help niaintaiu the home, which he
has rendered a little better than a pur
Katory. Now she is suing her husband
for divorce and alimony for the support
in these children.
This is iiuitt right and just. A man
Khotild support hla own children, but the I
lac-t remains a fact, nevertheless, that
a higher and finer order of womanhood
is indicated when a wife refucen to be
Hupported by the husband whom she
does not respect sufficiently to live with.
There is something allocking and even
Uiore thun shocking in the prevalence of
fashionably attired and flirtatious divor
cees, who are paying their bills through
alimony.
The wlft of a continued drunkard com
mits a sin when she continues to live
with Wra and produce offspring-- -an
orphan asylum, is a better home for chil
dren the bona continually frequented by
a drunken father.

human race alcoholism is on the wane,

The following extracts from this
article would be universal Interest:
"Drinking families who hare wine aenred

A financier who left a large sum of
money to a hospital suddenly withdrew
his legacy. When pressed for an ex

staff of the hospital were drinking men,
and their work would necessarily be In
efficient and careless, and in the busi
ness World he. would not put In any
money where drinking men would have
any kind of control. It waa too risky.
"He would renew hi lacy, with great
additions, if the hospital authorities
would accept it with tbe provision that
all members of the ataff should be total
aoatainer. This has been under eon
slderatlon for the last year.
"The president of a railroad company
found his wife at a seaside resort being
treated by a very eminent expert. At the
table he noticed that this physician or
dered a bottle of win and later a saw
him take a drink In the barroom. He
discharged him at one, and when
questioned by hla friends, answered. 'I
should not allow a switchman or a tower-
man on my road to use spirits, and 1
have given order that they b dis
charged the minute they are found
guilty. How much more Important It la
that I should guard my family from tbe
danger of this aoure.'
"Incidents Ilk the ar increasing all

to give th best service on health mat

beer-drinking, the alcoholic and tobacco

the man or woman who is looking for

it may not be expressed, but it Is grow

Dr. Sargent turned somewhat impa
tiently, but on perceiving that Tommy
belonged to the world of wealth and fash
ion, and waa not a reporter, hla manner
ehanged to one of brusque courtesy,
"I've only Just discovered," said
Tommq.-nhat Celestia I am not at lib
erty to tell you her real name (he wasn't
for the simple reaaori that he didn't know
what it was) is being held here until
her friends can be discovered. I am one
of her friends and I have come to take
her away."
Dr. Sargent shook his head slightly,
and said something in which Prof. Stll
liler'a namo occurred.
"Ves, I know " said Tommy, "but ther
la a great difference between being in
terested in a case and being Interested
In a person. Prof. Ktilllter is Interested
in her mental state. And I welt, I'm
interested in her."
I have no authority to turn her over
to you. Don't misunderstand me, but I
don't even know who you are."
"I can't tall you who she is." said
Tommy, "it wouldn't be right B'jt I'm
Thomas Barclay, and I can really give
vary satisfactory references if I have to."
Dr. Cargent smiled new In a cally
friendly manner.
"You don't have to," he said. "I know
you I know Mr. Barclay very well In
deed, and, still aa long aa EUllller b.-ought
her here, and told me to keep her until
he sent for her, I don't really see how 1
can let you take her away. Of course,
I know she would be in good hands why
not wait till I can communicate wun
fmmterr'
"I have no use for htm," said Tommy,
"any more than he has for me. It you
let Celestia go with me he will probably
b angry, and yet th rights of tho mat
ter ar entirely on my side."'
"I don't wish to be Indiscreet, but is
ah a relative of your?"
There was a good deal of Irish in
Tommy' smile. And his eyes tw'nkled
brightly aa he aald:
"Not yet."
"Not yet? I don't think I quite un
derstand." "Why," said Tommy, ''it's very simple.
I am engaged to her-"
If he bad been the most truthful young
man In the world he might have said:
"I sm engaged to her, but she Isn't en
gaged to me."
Btlll for a moment Dr. Sargent heal
tsted. Then he smiled and said: "After
all, she la not under detention. Sh-s's as
sane as I am, except for the hallJclna
tlons about a heavenly origin, and if you
want to take her away, and If she wanta
to go with you, I have no right to inter
fere. Just wait a moment, will you?"
In a few minutes he returned with Ce
lestla. She had been very angry with
Tommy because h had not come cut of
the water to rescue her from BUllltor,
but th sight of htm now dissipated all
that remained of her wrath. She took
two step toward him, holding out both
! hands. And she exclaimed: "Oh, Tommy!
I'm so glad. You did come, didn't you?"
"Just as quickly as ever I could," aald
Tommy.
Dr. Sargent had drawn bark smiling.
"Lord," he thought, "what a handsome
couple."
"I've got a taxi outside," said Tommy.
"Can you b ready In a few minutes?"
"I'm reedy now."
Tommy lifted a long raincoat which he
had brought with tilm from th arm of
the chair In which he had been sitting.
."Will you put this onr" a asked. "I'm
afraid New York Isn't used to Greek
clothes, and we don't want crowd, do
they drove up town; Celestia asking a
hundred questions a minute about every
thing which Interested her, and Tommy
was answering her questions as fast as
he could and trying to decide what he
lied better do with her. Beyond getting
her away from Ktilllter, he had no very
definite plans.
"Celestia." he said, suddenly. "t first
the doctor didn't want to give you up,
and I'm afraid I told him a white U."
The young man blushed as he spoke. "I
told him I was engaged to you, and, of
course, he believes that you are engaged
to me. And, of course, you aren't unless
you want to be."
"Ar you engaged to me?" she ex
claimed. "Yes," said Tommy, "it happened sud
denly, on the Island. I'm engaged to you
lor always."
"Then you must lpve me."
"I do," said Tommy. "I do."
"You say you love me, and then you
say you don't believe what I tell you."
"Meaning about heaven and all?" He
asked this, very humbly.
Hhe nodded and said:
"I haven't really tried to make unybody
believe but you. But I've looked at you
hard, and willed you to believe, and you
won't. I don't understand. . Anybody else
would."
. "Did th doctors, Celestia V
"I didn't try to make them. It isn't
necessary yet. I must get a little used
to the world, mustn't I. before I can
help it?" i
On any other point ih soetned aa
rational a any other young girl who
waa seeing the great city of New York
for the first time. But It began to look
as If she would have to aiiend the rest of
her life In the taxlcah. No hotel would
take her In. Her clothes amounted to no
more than an opaquo nightgown, with
a raincoat thrown over It, and her bar
feet caused almost as much excitement
and distrust as her beauty. Tommy tried
two hotels In which only women guests
are received. Then, leaving Celestia In
the taxi, he tried other hotels, n each
case he thought It would be simple to
rplaln Celestia to the room clerk and
get temporary accommodations for her,
and In each cast he found that it was
quit impossible, and his feeble attompt
caused him to feel like a cross between
a fool and a criminal.
Finally It occurred to him to try his
friends. Purely, he thought, Mary Black
stone will tako her in, f I ask her to do
It, for old time a sake. ro he told the
driver to drive to Senator Blackstone's
reetdenoe.
Leaving Celestia in the cab, Tommy
learned that Mary Btackstone waa at
home, and would see him, and h hurried
upstairs to the little sitting room. H
had not counted on finding Fitch with
her; It waa on of those unexpected find
Ings which take the wind out of a man's
sails, so to speak; and Tommy, full f
what h had to ay about Celestia to on
person, found himself, for th moment,
almost tongue-tied In the presence of
two.
In her heart Mary still cared mor for
Tommy' little finger than for Fitch
whole body; but her mind had been
opened to ambition, and ah had steered
It against him. When a girl has de
termined that she will not make a man
happy, It 1 often her instinct to do th
opposite. But Mary mad th mlstak
at supposing that Tommy waa still In
love -with her. Girl usually do mak
this mistake about men who ono loved
them, even If In th Interim th men In
question may have weathered half a
doaen romance, and been married two
or three times apiece.
