Somehow or other, though. I'rlselllu hadn't wanted to nn BWer "Yes" when the great, big ques tlon came along, because she had al ways been more or less a coquette, and she wanted frightfully to have John realize that she could make, oh, just dozens of men perfectly foolish about her. That momentous night, us' though she had suspected something, fhc left, the telegraph ofllce where she worked more In a hurry than usual, nntl when she renched home? and dressed, It was surprising what n flurry she was In. Hut you would never hnve known it, nnd of course John didn't cither, when ho saw her coming down the stairs. Iu fact, she was so alarmingly self possessed nnd pollto that, naturally, ha became confused nnd, Instead of giv ing her his new straw hat (bought that very evening at an outrageous price, especially for the occasion), ho dropped it, and handed her his rub bers. That was obviously a had start for both of them. John was commonplace, perhaps, but ever so much more restful than tho cave person might turn out to be. But you know whut women do, Just the same. They are extremely Irritat ing, becuuse they do Insist on hav ing their cave men, und you know all the time that they don't know what they are talking ubout. Well, hours nnd hours of time limped past. Hy the time twelve o'clock struck, the minutes began actually to trot. Heforo any more of them could get by him, John asked her. He couldn't tulktjyj.thls time, so he whispered it. And, of course, she said she wouldn't, nnd he put his rubbers on nnd went home, and they were both miserable. Well, here she was again In that horrid ofllce, ticking away tit the most monotonous messages. As If she cared whether Samuel had cut a tooth or not, or, for that matter, whether El mer Illgglns was coming, nnd wanted Peter Trudger to meet him ! She hoped Elmer Illgglus would miss his old train, and that Peter Trudger would have to trudge home again. And as for caring whether Western Coal had gone down two points, and the thing to do was to buy! Shu hoped Abrash (what a silly mime!) would forget to buy, and would be mi.-enible about it afterward-. You hce, Mie was, miser able herhelf, and It didn't seem so bad If she knew other people were miser able, too. There Is consolation In company, be Us common emotion Joyous or dismal. She had been wishing bad luck on nil sorts of people for what seemed n .long, long time, when n rather nice looking, though extremely nervous, young man came in. He actually blushed when she looked nt him. Why, he acted just like John had, last night. Oh! her poor, dear John! After he had scattered the money all over her desk, und had dropped his change twice, he went out. Then she read It, and she saw why he ucted so much like John. "Mary Wllklns, "500 Pleasant St., " ".

"Whut tin Idiot I" she snld. "Doesn't he dare even to ask her? The wuy John did?" Why. what a difference there was, nfter all ! John had asked her face to face, and here was this stupid Harold person, whom she hnd at first thought nice, who had to telegraph! .Slie didn't Know jui Imw to send tho thing, but she tped It, nnd gave It to young Jerry to deliver, and told him I NO MEANS YES 1 Q By ANNIE M.

When he came back with the mes sage to be sent In the same queer wuy to the nervous young man, she realized that all women were about the same, too. It sold "No!" Then she wanted to do tht wildest thing she ever thought of. She actu ally started to change it to "Yes." Shu blushed as she thought of it, and felt as If the whole block was going to fall over. Then she became angry, and sent It, with a great big No In capi tals, typed with the red ribbon hilt she did It reluctantly. ".Mary Wllklns ought to know bet ter!" she said. And Mary did, for, a half-hour later, a young lady, who looked as though her whole life was a desert Of burled hopes, nlniost'rnn Into that ollke and sent this message: "Harold Huttcrlleld, "4(:l Pleasaht St., ' "Uuntersvllle. ."

An Interesting parallel has been drawn between the different varieties of rubber trees In the tropics and those of maple trees in this country. Out of about 1,000 varieties of trees, all ot which produce more or less rub ber sap, only forty or fifty huve been found whose product Is considered commercially valuable. When a would be cultivator of rubber goes to 'a tropical country and sets out a plan tation of rubber trees, which the un lives know do not belong to the right variety, he causes amused comment, such us would be excited by a South Aiuerli'tiu who came to the United State- nud bored holes in soft maples with the expectation of obtaining sugar s.ip. ExperW nee has shown that excellent mli'm-i- trees transplant ed from their native habitat to other regions having nppurcutl.v Identical soil ami climate may nourish In growth, ol lose their producing pow er.

There Is nt least one specimen in this country of the "snow leopard," whose home Is among the lofty moun. tains nbout Tibet. Thousands oft tanned skins of the snow leopard are carried to Shanghai for sale, but the living animal Is rarely seen away from his cool mountain home. New York Herald.

In Australia n preserve, or sanc tuary, has been established for the benefit of human beings, the remnants of n nntlve raco that is still in the Stone age of civilization. These modern men of the Stone ago wander over a vast region In the arid Interior of Australlu. About their number little Is known, but the total Is estimated nt 2,000 or there abouts.

' PROFITEERING NUT POSSIBLE SAYS LASKER SHIPPING BOARD CHAIRMAN DE CLARES MERCHANT MARINE AID MEASURE NOW BEFORE CONGRESS ELIMINATES ANY CHANCE OF EXCESSIVE PROF ITS; SAYS MUST ACCEPT PLAN OR PROPOSE ALTERNATIVE. Note: This Is the last of a series of articles on the American Merchant Mntine by A'' "t D. Lasher, Chairman of tho Ship.il ii' Heard. ARTICLE 6. Ono of the greatest ptoblems the present Administration faced, nt its Inception, was tho necessity, as cov ered by previous articles, for liquidat ing the Government owned lleet so that It would pass Into private hands, end tho loss of Government operation, cause tho creation of n privately owned fleet that would bo rlghtlj bal anced for war and peace-time needs, and Insuro at the same time that the art of shipbuilding In America be kept alive In face of the ton-ear naval holiday. The President has proposed to the Congress the enactment of a scries of aids that will put American shippers on the same basis with Great Britain, whoso costs are next highest to ours; feeling that If we put ourselves on a parity with Dritaln, the Ingenuity of America will conquer all ether ob tacles. The bill proposes direct aids to uhlps in the form of a cash subsidy, whieh, it is estimated, It we should ultimately develop the 7,600,000 gross torts needed to carry half of the over seas trado of America, will cost the national Treasury approximately $30, 000,000. Should we reach that point, the losses of f50.000.000 per annum now incurred in the operation of the Shipping Board would long before have ended. Could Sell Present Fleet. 'irinvaddltlon, tho bill proposes certain Indirect afds, one of the chief being deduction from income tax equal to live per coat, of tno moneys paid' In ffuig'tts. The purpose of this provi sion Is to in. lire tinier cargoes ' The bill propo os a loan fund of $125,000,000 at two per cent, minimum interest to aid those who would build Epes of ships we still need.' Without tnc passage of the proposed bill and tlils feature, tho art of shipbuilding in America will wither and die. 5Th8'deslrablo tonnage owned by tho Shipping Board under the proposed bill wijl be disposed of at world mar ket prices to American buyers, thus aiding the buyers to escape the handi cap of initial high cost. The Government believes that in addition to the vaet sums that will come to the Treasury through the sal of the snips (which it feels can not 'be sold without, this legislation), the curtailment of operating loss will more than offset the subsidy charge.

Thl provision alone wilt tmure a rolumo of business In tbe North Atlantic that ihnuld glva us a largu growth la our tlilrd-clBHs passenger business. Aid Hm On Differential. The bill proposes that when proper fa cilities exist, the President may end tbe Krsnj and Navy transport, contracting for our military transportation with privately owned Hhlps. Looking forward to doner co-ordination between rail and water trimnpiirtatlon a very basic essential toward the expansion of our trade the bill proposes a scheme for bringing nearer together the Interstate Cninmerie Commission nud the Shipping Hoard on subjects of mntrnil Interest The kiiIjMi!) to be paid our ships U com puted on n differentia! based on a comb! .i.itlon of hpecd, size and dlituiue covered, thorcby encouraging the building of a tlcet that Hhnll lie balanced for pe.ii e und war time purpose allk". Tho basic nubsldy provldes that every essol of tlm 1'nlted Matotf entitled to dliect nld lmll iccclvc a atiui equal to une-li.ilf u eelit per gross ton for each hundred miles covered, and lu creases with each knot, until at twenty three knots and over the ship shall receive 'J.D cents per sross tou. In the illsi letlou of the Shipping Hoard, where esscntlnl lines nt ueedvd and the Mihsld proponed In the bill U not sutlk-iciit. a subsidy up to double the amount provided for In the law maj be allowed. No ships m n'iig the Hubsldy are to be paid for Liuijltg tLo mal!t: the coinpen satlon they would customarily reecho will go to the xtibsid) fund. The subsidy fund Is to bo derived by ro. serving ten per cent, of the money's col Ucted la duties us a revolving fund No I'rofltrerlng I'osstble. A limitation of protlts Is proposed by the Government which while on tho one hand forbidding profiteering, on the othel tiand lusiirrs no diminution In tbe lnsplm tlon of Initiative and tbe consequent attrnc tlou of the necessary capital. This 1 ac complished by a proviso that after a ship has earned ten per cent, on Its capital, hall of tbe earnings shall be returned to tb( merchant marine fund until the full amount of tbe subsidy shall bave been repaid. In tlioso articles I have briefly under taken to sketch the history of America'! rise and dicllne on the sea and the admin duration's plan to restore our merchant marine. If any have a better program to offer, the Government, with an open mind will Ve glad to consider It. If no one has a better program to offer, then there are but two nlternutlvei IZIther adopt tho l'rcsl dent's proposals or continue the Ineill lency and loss of Government operation S'o, there Is still auuther alternative; and bo Govorumint's operation and mako ar rangscnents to iU tbe fleet abroad or scrar It., If this latter alternative were ordered by Concro", there Is no doubt, to my ti.nil, tn.ii vvlii.u u.. ) it f.vv weeks aP Aiuerlcn would reallre tbe utter ueeeaaltji of Its merchant tnnrlno for Its needs, nud a unanimous cry would go up throughout tho country demanding of tho Congrcsi that the ships be put back Into service The farmer, the manufacturer, tbe miner alike, would tlnd freight Higher, deliver.
