Today * His Name ff rit on Clouds. 25 Ponies, 13 Grooms. One Man, Sft Operations. Paying the Piper Well. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. V*-—___/ John W. Davis’ campaign man agers (you remember that he ran for president), are sued for $84, 220, spent on advertising. Much was spent on sky writing, which Seems strangely appropriate. A great, nnd disappointed, poet, chose for his tombstone, ‘‘Here lies one whose name was writ in water.” Mr. Davis, who enjoyed his campaign and took defeat good naturedly, enn substitute “clouds" for water, in his epitaph. Speaking of economy, Mr. Presi dent, what is gained hy sending the American army polo players to compete with Great Britain’s army players across the ocean? Six army players, with 25 ponies and 13 grooms, sail on the Atlantic transport liner Minnetonka, today. Are those grooms American sol diers? Did they enlist to be used as private servants for gentlemen playing polo? Does it make the army more ef ficient, in these days of tank and flying machines, to have officers knocking little white balls along the grass? Who authorises the expedition? lfow do volt think it will strike the average farmer? Thirteen grooms * for 25 ponies will seem a good many to him. He and his hired man take care of 10 horses and cows, besides plowing. They don’t manicure their horses’ hoofs. In the world war, John I.ennroth had his back broken, both legs mangled, and is not discouraged, in spite of the fact that he has just undergone his 88th surgical operation. With both legs cut off at the stumps, he manages an au . tomobile, especially constructed, and drove alone from California to Walla Walla, Wash., on the way to operation No. 88. That is a tribute to a brave man's courage, and the fact that he still lives is a tribute to surgical skill * arid science. In old days, before surgeons understood germs and in fection, the chances against living _ through 88 operations would have beeen millions to one. PetriP-. president of the Musi cians’ union, announces a new wage i- scale for the 82 members of Chi r cago's Civic Opera orchestra that * will give them an average of $155 * per weeek, each. That would interest Beethoven, Mozart and othA" old-fashioned » musicians. They worked for less. The Chicago players receive the highest salaries paid anywhere in the world, for regular orchestra ’’ work. * All Americans, especially good Americans living in in Hawaii, will * be interested in the trial flight of a new giant seaplane made in Seat tle, soon to be launched. This big flying boat, equipped with two engines of 800-horse '. power each, will fly 2,400 miles, \ without coming down. She will make a nonstop flight * to Honolulu, and, built with a metal ' hull, the big airboat will be able to land on a rough sea. The building of such a ship is a J good sign. * A few thousand more of various * sizes, ' especially swift pursuit planes, would make this country safe, and make other nations very polite, and less inclined to manage our government for us. Ask any well-informed Briton or Italian how European countries feel , toward France. For each of her 4,000 fighting > airplanes, France is respected pro I foundly. ” If you bought German war bonds, ! vr German bonds, national or mu 1 rieipal, issued before the war began, * Germany plans to pay you 5 per cent of the bonds’ value in good money. But don’t be too Joyful about it. You will be paid with new bonds, bearing no interest, and with none of the principal payable, as long as Germany is paying reparations. Thus Germany’s national and municipah debts are cut down to 3,500,000,000 marks, or about *870,000,000, one-fifth of our war loan to Britain, or France. What with this scaling down, and her in telligently humorous selling of worthless paper marks for real money, Germany would have won the war, financially speaking, had it not been for the French repara tion demands. We think we invented trusts, over here, as we did the flying machine. If we did, Europe has improved on our trusts as much as our airplanes. France and Germany have formed an international trust to raise and keeep up the price of fertilizers. American farmers may pay more to that international trust than they ever paid to any home-made trust. And Germany has formed her en tire dye industry into one gigantic trust, eclipsing anything ever tried. The day of little business has gone by. Only big units can sur vive in modern competition. Americans must realize it, en courage American concerns as big as any in the world, and learn to control them. Frank I. Robinson, 43 years a lo comotive engineer, retires with this remarkable record. He has driven his locomotive over the single track road between Fonda and N’orthville, a total distance of 1,883,400 miles, without an accident or injury to any passenger. This is fine, but you can’t live or! a “no-accident record.” How much, in th* way of a for tune, do you suppose this able and conscientious mechanic takes from hi* life time of work into his re-' tirement? fCopTrlght. 112*.)

Staggering under Lillians weight, 1 managed somehow to lower the un conscious body to the floor. Then I rushed to the table, snatched a richer of ice water and threw some of the water Into her face. It was a prim ittve remedy but I was loath to call Katherine from her patient unless it was necessary and I felt that Lil lian's swoon was not a serious one, but the result of undue fatigue. My Intultloin was justified in an other second when Lillian opened her eyes and smiled wanly at me. “I suppose I was silly enough to faint,” she said. Then she put her hand up to her face. “What have you been doing—Giving me tho water cure?” “Making an attempt at It,” I re turned, trying to keep my voice steady, for her attack had shaken me, even though I did not believe it to be a serious one. I wiped the water from her face as I knelt be side her. and with relief watched the color return to her lip". "J/p still a minute.” .Y Patient l uder Duress. I rote ami hurried out of the room to the bathroom nr.d prepared -i res torative, which I made her swallow when T returned In her. Then I M sisted her to rise and put her to bed, taking off her shoes and outer gar ments after she was safely inside It. "I suppose Katherine ought to look you over before Dr. Petit gets here,'’ T said when I had partially un dressed her and drawn the covers tightly around her. “Dr. Pettit! Katherine!" she ejac ulated. and would have sat bolt up right only that 1 put her back with an iron hand. “Exactly," I returned with affect ed sternness. “You don't imagine you are going to get away with r per formance like this without paying1 the penalty of an Interview with a physician do you? Not while you are under my roof niadame.” “Then I shan't be under your roof any longer than I can call a taxi and get away,” she returned with a smile, which, though wan, stiil reflected her indomitable spirit. “Really, Madge, I’m perfectly ell right. I'll just lie still here a little while and rest.” "In Junior's classic language. ‘You bet your boots you will,' ” I retorted with a laugh. “If there's anything you want me to do while you're rest ing just tell me.” “Yes.” she answered promptly', “thers is. I want you to see what'tlie children are doing and then I Insist upon your taking a nap. There is no manner of use in two of us keeling over you know and you must be mighty tired yourself. Think of the lime you arose this morning.” I pretended to shudder. “It isn't anything I care to remember,” I said laughing, “but it hasn't affected me. I never felt more wide awake in my life. However if it will keep you quiet"—I made a little moue at her— “I will return anon"—I waved my hand airily—“and camp dow n on the couch there that I may keep you company,” I blew her a kiss and went out of the room intent upon carrying out her bidding concerning the children. On my way down the ball, however, I stopped at my own door and knocked lightly. When Katherine came to the ddor I drqw her out in to the hall nnd wlilspefed to her my anxiety about Lillian and its cause. "She says she won't see a phy sician,” I finished. Katherine smiled competently. "He’s Watching Tills Case.” “Leave it to me,” she said. “It won’t be long now untlll little Herbie comes tack: He's watching this case | very closely. When he arrives, I’ll ilp you off and we’ll put a strangle hold upon our rambunctious friend.” “I'll help twist the rope," I as sured her and was turning away when she put her arm upon my ! sleeve and hailed me. “When Herbie comes,’’ she said, “if he is willing, I want to try a little experiment..” My heart began a toboggan slide toward my shoes, fob I guessed what she meant, but I only looked at her erpectantly and I do not think she fathomed my dismay. “I want you to walk Into the room quietly,” she went on, “so that she does not know you are there until you stand by the bed. I want to see If she still lias tlie delusion that she knows you.” Willi the knowlcbge fresh upon me of the reasons for the girl's appar ent delusion, I felt my face burning binder Katherine's keen gaze. Yet without Lillian’s knowledge or con sent I could not relay to Katherine the information which Lee Chow had brought,concerning the girl’s Identity. So I contented ntyself with a mur mured promise that I would do any thing wdthln my power that she wished. Leaving her I made my way downstairs and outdoors In search of Marlon and Junior, who had been given the treat of riding “Lady,” Jerry Tlcer's antiquated horse during the whole afternoon.
