A Case of
Woman's Action
Under Difficulty
By EUNICE BLAKE
Why nro people Invariably compar
ing the sexes? They aro not to bo
compared. The man usually has an
advantage in his Held, a woman In
hers. And yet theso Holds are contin
ually overlapping, or, rather, thero are
many exceptions. For Instance, n "wo
man will at times show a man's brav
ery. Tho unexpected Is moro liable to
happen with woman than man. Usually
a woman is more resourceful than a
man. Tho following story Illustrate?
some of tho points above noted, the
ono most particularly illustrated being
thnt one can never know what a wo
man will do In an emergency:
One afternoon two friends, James
Wakelleld and Henry Smythe, while
waiting to take out their best girls In
an automobile, engaged In a dialogue
as to woman's courage. Wakelleld was
engaged to Lucy Trowbridge, whilo
Smythe's llnneee was Helen Ormsby.
This is what the men said:
Henry Your girl has one thing nbout
her that I like. She Is earless.
Jim How do you know tliatr
Henry Oh. I've seen her out at. sea
In rough weather. She wub very plucky.
.Ilm You can't tell much nbout wo
men's pluck because thoy'roestupli'
about appreciating real danger I don't
expect bravery in a woman" and I
wouldn't value Lucy any higher if I
know she were capable of standing up
in tho face of a Volley of musketry.
Henry If Helen should show u lack
of nervo I would despise her as much
as I would n cowardly man.
.Ilm I should consider her nil the
more womanly and the more to bo
loved.
The quartet started on their motor
trip nbout 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Henry had the wheel, nnd .11m sat be
side him. the two girls occupying tho
rear seat. They lived In a largo city
and started out on ono of flioso boule
vards only to be found in largo plnces.
Having gone some twenty miles, they
turned, reaching the city limits just
about dusk. Henry stopped the enr
and got out to light the lamps.
He was just outside the city limits,
where the police were not plentiful,
nnd In a lonely place In the road flank
ed by woods on either hand. He wns
lighting the lamps when lie heard a
voice shout. "Hold up your hands!"
nnd a man from either side advanced,
covering the pnrty with cocked revolv
ers. Henry stood with a lighted match in
his hand regarding tho robbers with an
expression of antagonism on his face
and did not raise ids hands till ho had
been ordered to do so n second thno
and been told that if he didn't obey n
bullet would be put in his brain. Jim's
hands went up on tho tlrst order.
Helen wns not able to obey, becauso
bhe fainted dead nwny. Lucy was
somewhnt tardy in holding a hand
nloft, but did not require a secomrconi
mnnd. Henry was ordered to resume
his scat at the wheel.
All being In position to bo plucked,
n third man mounted tho footboard
and proceeded to relievo them of their
valuables. Henry Smythe, though dis
gusted at being taken at such a disad
vantage, had the good sense to permit
himself to be robbed rather thnn risk
being killed. Jim made no pretense
of resisting, or even desired to. handing
out his wntch and chain and $27 In
bills, besides chnngc in Ids vest pocket,
of his own accord.
When the plunderer eamo to Helen
ho seemed to bo conscience stricken at
robbing a woman who "was lying un
conscious. At any rate, he passed her.
Lucy's right hand wns still pointing to
the sky. It was ungloved, and tho rob
ber, seeing that there were no rings on
It, jumped ofl! the footboard with twy
gold watches and chains nnd some $(50
that ho had taken from the men. Then
tho robbers nil disappeared In the
woods.
Henry turned and saw Helen In a
dead faint. Lucy was sitting up
straight enough, but seemed to have
lost her tongue. Sho had neither
screamed nor spoken slnco the episode
commenced. Tho expression on Henry's
face as ho looked from one to tho other
wns peculiar.
"Lucy." he said, "what have you
lost?"
Lucy made throat sounds without
opening her mouth and frowned.
"Are you struck dumb?" asked Jim.
Lucy, glancing aside to iiinkc sure
that the robbers were gone, dropped
from her mouth Inlo her hnnd three
rings. Including a twin diamond valued
nt $200. y
""Oh, that's the reason you didn't
speak." said Henry. "You'ro good
pluck. Look, at Helen."
At this Helen opened her eyes, nnd,
strange to say, they shone with n dan
gerous light on her fiance.
"You should know something about
what you comment on beforo doing
so." she said to him coldly. "It Is all
right for you to admire Lucy's pluck,
but there was no real pluck shown by
any ono of ns. It wasn't a case forpluck.
It was n caso for stratagem. Lucy won
by ono ruse. I by nnother. Instinctive
ly I relied on man's oven a bad man's
dislike to Injure n defenseless wo
man. The more defenseless sho Is the
moro he Is disposed to let her alone. I
pretended to faint and havo not lost
my engagement ring, nero It Is."
Taking It off her finger, sho handed
it to him. He took It reluctantly.
The party rode homo with but little
conversation. Smytuo called on Helen
Ormsby tho same evening and tried to
undo what be had done. He failed.

Formation of Long Island,
According to geologists. Long Island
affords particularly clear evldonco ns
to tho history of tho great continental
ice sheet which covered tho northern
states many Uiousnnd years ago. The
southern margin of this great ice sheet
extended to Long Island, it is said, and
remained there for u long time, depos
iting n thick body of intermixed -bowlders,
sand aud lay as a terminal mo
raine, which is now the "backbono" of
the Island. Tho ice moved southward
and brought theso materials from the
north, dropping them at Its melting
edge. This peculiar method of deposi
tion developed n very peculiar topog
raphy, consisting of an Irregular aggre
gation of hummocks nnd hollows,
which have produced tho ninny benij
