Pennington is one of those places
where wealthy people from the city
live all the year round though some
have residences in town in which they
spend a few months in midwinter
But as for social pleasures Penning
ton residents have most of the enjoy
ments of city life with those of the
country added Their summer outdoor
sports are prolonged till late in the
autumn and they play golf any time
when the ground is free from snow
Young Mr and Mrs Archie Worth
came to live at Pennington at the in
stigation of Charlie Erwin Archies
intimate friend Had Erwin foreseen
what this change of residence would
bring about he would certainly not
have proposed it There resulted one
of the most unpleasant situations that
can happen to a man Worth had no
sooner settled at Pennington than he
was obliged to go abroad on business
Before his departure he said to his
friend
Charlie Im going to leave Winifred
in your charge Being a newcomer
here it is liable to be pretty dull for
her at first and I shall expect you to
see that she gets invitations to whats
going on both out of doors and inside
and when she needs an escort take
her about yourself Youre one of the
few men I know with whom I would
trust my wife without the slightest
compunction I hope to get back here
in time for the holidays but I may be
detained longer
Erwin accepted the charge Indeed
since the Worths had come to Pen
nington at his instance he could not
do less and having accepted it he
devoted himself during that autumn
to giving Winifred Worth a pleasant
season He drove her out made up
automobile parties for her escorted
her to field sport matches and rode
with her across country
Now in the communities of smart
sets the love affairs that go on among
HE EXPOSED THE FACE OF MRS EDWAEDS
the unmarried and the married as well
are not as with people less preten
tious Either the courtships of the
boys and girls attract little attention
or they precede marriages of conven
ience Now and again some married
woman will make an incursion upon
the domain of the girls and carry off
an eligible young man gaining noth
ing for herself and robbing the girls
There was a married woman of mid
dle age living at Pennington a Mrs
Edwards nearly forty and much given
to the society of men younger than
herself She was not popular with the
women but so long as she could mo
nopolize their husbands brothers and
lovers she was indifferent to their
opinion of her This woman had re
solved to make Charlie Erwin her cav
alier when Archie Worth went abroad
and left his wife in Charlies care
One night or rather morning Char
lie Erwin went to bed conscious of be
ing the central figure of a peculiar
situation During the evening Mrs Ed
wards had shown plainly that she
proposed to monopolize him and Mrs
Worth the wife of his friend who
had left her in his charge had indi
cated that she had been overwhelmed
by one of those mad passions for him
which will lead a woman to wreck
herself tor the man she loves
Had Erwin been a lightweight man
either Intellectually or morairy per
haps he might have hern lateivd that
two women should have slurried hi a
out for the bestowal of their favoi
But lie was a man of ri rieter an1
with a high sese of bono lie ktuv
women well and felt assircd that
while Mrs lid wards in est ia hit
was the satisfaction of jpropnsiij
him to herself inifred VYrh lv
really heconi infatuated w hi
The situation wa riwt d T enus t
him and Winifred for not oily had
Winifreds infatuation made Iwr re i
less but Mrs Edwards would doubt
less be on the watch for some slip
which she might turn to account
against her ma I
After thinking the matter over Er
win decided that there was no safety
for him except in flight True the
leaving behind of two women who
were at swords points about him he
not being on hand to repress either
was fraught with danger but less
gerous than to remain Besides flight
would put him personally in a better
position in case the affair came out
TrutrnmdernTdTeave mutters in as
good shupe us possible he went to the
vicious one of the two and assuring
her of his devotion to her told her
that t was necessary for him to go
away for a time on business
I have said that Charlie Erwin knew
women He certainly didnt know
Mrs Edwards or he would not have
counted upon her even in this slight
respect She conveyed the news of
Erwius proposed flight to her rival
and knowing that Winifred would
see Erwin and endeavor to keep him
lay in wait for the couple with a view
to surprising them and thus gettiug
Winifred in her power
Having a maid who was quite bright
in observing peoples motions Mrs
Edwards instructed her to shadow Er
win and report if he visited her rival
At 5 oclock on the afternoon Erwin
was to depart the maid telephoned her
mistress that he had gone to Mrs
Worths home Mrs Edwards went
there immediately entered without
ringing and found Charlie and Wini
fred in the library Winifred In tears
Mrs Edwards having made the two
aware of her presence said that she
had called and not getting a reply to
her ring had ventured in Then she
withdrew
Erwin saw at once that he had made
a mistake in informing Mrs Edwards
of his proposed departure He felt
that he and Winifred Worth were as
mucu in her power as if she had had a
dozen witnesses to the scene she had
come upon for a married woman must
be above suspicion He abandoned his
plan of going away feeling it neces
sary for him to remain and if possi
ble scotch the viper who he was con
vinced had determined to put her poi
sonous fangs into her rival
That year the smart set of Penning
ton concluded to give a masquerade
ball at the close of the season and be
fore the opening of Lent The cos
tumes worn on the occasion during
the first part of the evening were to
be covered with dominos until the un
masking when the dominos with the
masks were to be thrown off
Charlie Erwin resolved to take ad
vantage of this ball to spring a trap
on Mrs Edwards that he hoped
would put her out of business as to do
ing Winifred Worth or himself any
harm Worth returned a few days be
fore Ash Wednesday He thanked
Charlie for his attentions to his wife
but Charlie could see that he had
heard more of those attentions than
he cared to hear Nevertheless he was
cordial and invited Charlie to dinner
on the evening of the ball After din
ner he went out leaving his friend
alone with his wife thus indicating
his confidence This gave Charlie an
opportunity to give Winifred so much
of his plan as was essential He told
her to tell her husband that she would
wear a crimson domino but to use
one of another color This she prom
ised to do
There was no hall in Pennington
suitable for a ball so one of the lar
gest dwelling houses was offered by
Its owner for the purpose
A crimson domino was seen moving
about always attended by a purple
one the two dancing together nearly
every set Presently some one stand
ing behind Worth said Look out for
the crimson Worth saw the crimson
and the purple dominos going out of a
door together
Worth was an honorable man and
above spying especially on his own
wife But Mrs Edwards had con
trived to let out enough of his friends
attention to his wife during his ab
sence colored to suit her purpose
to make him anxious He turned
to look behind him and saw a pale
blue domino just passing away The
figure turned and pointed to the crim
son There was something about this
person which the domino did not con
ceal that was familiar to him Wheth
er it was the walk or the gesture or
what it was he could not tell
But this did not concern him as
much as the crimson He remembered
that his wife had told him she would
wear a crimson domino and he had
seen the domino constantly attended
by the purple one Indeed the green
monster had begun to take root in his
breast before the warning came Fol
lowing the two retreating figures he
was led through several rooms on the
ground floor The figure in purple
evidently a man occasionally turned
bis head and looked back
Wortii believed the man fancied him
self followed and was making an ef
fort to shake his shadower This only
added to the formers determination
to remain on the scent Nevertheless
he lost sight several times of the pair
who mounted from one story to an
other till they entered an apartment
built on the roof and used for plants
Before going in the purple domino
turned evidently to see if others were
about but by this time Worth had
learned that if he were to discover
what he dreaded be had better keep
out of sight He waited impatiently
for awhile then stole to where the
two had entered The crimson domino
was encircled in the purple dominos
arms Rushing forward there was a
muffled shriek He tore off the mask
of the woman he thought to be his
wife
He exposed the face of Mrs Ed
wards The man uncovered and
Worth saw his friend Charlie Erwin
With an humble apology Worth re
treated and Erwin felt sure that any
expectation of trouble with his friend
had been eliminated
The next morning both Erwin and
Mrs Edwards left Pennington but not
together Mrs Edwards did not re
turn and Erwin remained away un
til the next spring when the Worths
removed to the city Then he re
turned
Thus by judicious management a
woman who yielded to a passing fancy
was savedfrom the worlds cold criti
cism

HE WON THE HOUSE
Ned Harrigans Plea at a Critical Point
n a Play
Edward Harrigan once said that the
most trying moment in his theatrical
career occurred in New Orleans soon
after the civil war He had gone south
with his company and yielding some
what to popular request put on The
Blue and the Gray The play had
been a success up north but down
south with the air still full of the bit
terness of the war it was a dangerous
experiment Tony Hart was to repre
sent the Confederate gray so he hunt
ed up a uuiform of the Louisiana Ti
gers and when he came marching on
young stalwart handsome the typical
soldier boy in the beloved uniform the
house men and women cheered and
shouted and cried for all their heroes
embodied in this boy Harrigan stand
ing in the wings in his northern blue
waiting to go on had just one thought
Theyll kill me Then he stepped
out the embodiment of the enemy and
a cold dead silence fell upon the
house Not a hand moved for him
The audience was tense with emotion
and there was only an instant to act
if the play was to be saved Harrigan
big kindly good looking came swiftly
down to the front and stepped over
the footlight gutter leaning down to
them For the love of heaven wont
you give the Yankee a hand he ex
claimed At once the house was caught
and all the pentup feeling turned the
right way There was a yell of ap
plause
RULE OF THE ROAD
Decided Abroad by the Sword and
Here by the Gun
Several travelers were seated in the
hotel lobby discussing the difference
In customs of the various countries
they had visited What struck me
as most peculiar abroad said one
is the custom of keeping to the left
instead of the right as we do here
Why is the rule reversed
I think I can explain that said a
reserved looking man In the corner
In medieval and later periods abroad
men were in the custom of wearing
swords The sword was worn as it Is
now on the left side Consequently
in drawing their weapon it was done
with the right hand and to get quick
ly upon guard a man had to have his
right side to his opponent hence the
custom of keeping to the left
In America when every man carried
his life in his hand on account of sav
age Indians all men carried guns The
easiest and most natural way to carry
a gun either afoot or mounted is over
the left arm with the muzzle pointed
outward and it takes but a very slight
movement to throw the butt against
the right shoulder For that reason
the early settlers kept to the right of
the road so their weapon could In
stantly be brought to bear on any
mark that was necessary Philadel

Romance of a Shadow
It is hard to believe that a shadow
is probably the origin of all astronom
ical geometrical and geographical sci
ence The first man who fixed his
staff perpendicularly in the ground
and measured its shadow was the ear
liest computer of time and the Arab
of today who plants his spear in the
sand and marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant It is
from the shadow of a gnomon that the
early Egyptians told the length of the
year It is from the shadow of a gno
mon that the inhabitants of upper
Egypt still measure the hours of work
for a water wheel In this case the
gnomon is a lhurra stalk supported on
forked uprights and points north and
south East and west are pegs in the
ground evenly marking the space of
earth between sunrise and sunset In
a land of constant sunshine a shadow
was the primitive chronometer It
was also the primitive footrule Lon

Copper is scarce said a broker

His hair green
Precisely In those copper districts
where the ore is of a low grade it is
roasted in open furnaces to refine it
and make it more marketable A gas
