years of railroading left my kidneys in terrible condition There was a continual pain across my back and hips and my kidneys gave me much distress and the action of my blad der was frequent and most

difficult matter to keep order with children and serv ants All this shows that he was nervous sensitive which is a terrible handicap to a leader of men He suf fered always from nervous dyspepsia and neuralgia and came home from his office fasting a mere mass of throbbing nerves and perfectly ex hausted He was keenly susceptible to the atmosphere about him especial ly to the moods of people abnormal ly sensitive to disapproval Even a childs disapproval discomposed him And Mrs Davis admits that this sen sitiveness and acute feeling of being misjudged made him reserved and un approachable It made him touchy as to his dignity also and there are sto ries of his cherishing a grudge for some insignificant or imagined slight and punishing the author of it Gama liel Bradford Jr in Atlantic Irving and His Money John Hare the English actor said that one of the failings charged to Irvings account was that of extrava gancethat he did not know the value of money It is quite true he did not know the value of money for himself but he knew its value to others He knew its value to the poor and help less and to these he gave with a lavish hand Once not long before his death playing a three nights engagement in an unpretentious midland town his habit was to drive nightly to the thea ter a very short distance from his hotel in the same dilapidated fly The fare was a shilling The conve3ance was shabby the driver old poor and worn out At the conclusion of the engagement on entering his hotel Irv ing said to the landlord Have you paid the cabman Yes Sir Henry What did you give him for himself I gave him half a crown Sir Henry Give him a sovereign was the re joinder he drives very well and he doesnt drive often The Myth of the Doones How largely Mr Blackmore drew upon his imagination for the story of Lorna Doone is made clear by F W Hackwood in his book The Good Old Times There were in fact no Dooucs The word was simply a local bogy a modified form of Dane a memory of the faroff times when the viking invaders harried the land The only vestige of actuality discoverable is a faint tradition that a fugitive from the battle of Sedgmoor to escape the hangings of Judge Jeffreys appropriat ed the ruins of some wretched huts in recesses of the Badgworthy glen now the Doon valley finding there a safe retreat in which he reared a consider able family which managed to eke out a living by committing petty depreda tions in the district The last of the Doones an old man and his grand daughter are said to have perished in the snow during the winter of 1800 Joy In Store For Some One Among the advertisements in a monthly magazine we find this For Sale or Exchange A fine young male bobcat and a female coyote also a mandolin and pair of fieldglasses Such opportunities as this are not often offered The fieldglasses most of us could manage to do without but the male bobcat the female coyote and the mandolin would go far to make life happy for any reasonable in dividual All these are productive of music and music gives joy to all right ly constituted persons There are of course some people who cannot play upon a mandolin but anybody can play upon a bobcat or a cojote This fine chance to get a varied and inter esting collection of musical instru ments will undoubtedly bring many replies Rochester Union and Adver tiser The Laziest People There is no doubt that the Malays are among the laziest people in the world Except in rare cases they will not take the trouble to learn when they are young and afterward if they have learned they will not exert

BARBARA THORPE Copyright by American Press Asso ciation 1911 Clara Bates with whom I had stood as bridesmaid wrote me that she was try place during Lent and wished me to come to her at that time I accept ed and a couple of weeks before Easter went to the Eyrie as they called the place it was on high ground where I found a very pleasant party assem bled Nevertheless all the guests had not yet arrived The second day after I reached the Eyrie our hosts gave an automobile excursion Feeling indis posed I remained at home Late in the afternoon thinking a little fresb air would do me good I concluded to take a walk As I was going down stairs the front door opened and a woman carrying a hand bag entered I met her in the hall and she said to me I have just arrived from the city It seems that the hostess Is away Have you any idea where I shall find my room I have not I replied I supposed every room was occupied I heard Mrs Bates say so yesterday The woman looked troubled You are quite welcome I added to make yourself at home in my room I am going for a walk and by the time I return our hostess may be here to receive you I showed her to my room and went off on my ramble I was somewhat preoccupied for the reason tliat Ralph Priestley had been paying me a great deal of attention and having met Sadie Stamper a prettier girl than I among the guests was withdrawing his attention from me and bestowing it on her Indeed this was partly the reason why I didnt go on the automo bile trip He had arranged to go in the same conveyance as my rival and I preferred staying at home to seeing him devoted to her I returned just as the autos pulled up at the door and I saw Ralph hand Sadie out of the machine and saw or thought I saw a mutual Iovelight in their eyes But perhaps It was jealousy At any rate my mind was too full of my affair to think anything about the guest who had arrived and whom I had left in my room Indeed I for got all about her At dinner I noticed an expression of dismay on the part of several of the girls of the party A 4PB iIH v otS I MET HIM EXTENDING MY HAND and it was evident from a restraint that had come over the party that something had happened The next morning on exchanging words with several of the girls I no ticed that they scarcely answered me while some of them failed to give nit any reply whatever But what was my indignation when Sadie Stamper passed me with a look of contempt and without even a nod I was in a very perplexed and troubled state of mind when Clara took me upstairs to her room shut the door and said to me My dear you bave been made the victim of a conspiracy On our return from the auto ride yesterday several of the guests found that certain valu ables they bad left in their rooms were missing John was horrified He tele phoned for a detective who came right up and investigated the matter The only servant in the house while we were away was old Martha who has been in our family forty years and was my nurse when a baby While you were all in the drawing room after dinner the detective searched the house Several bits of jewelry none of any great value were found hidden away in tbe back part of one of your bureau drawers Now keep cool she said quickly sealng the expression of despair on my face No one can make me believe anything wrong about you Some one placed the things there to escape sus picion by incriminating you I threw my arms about her nock and burst into a passionate weeping I remained in my room or Claras most of the day I was altogether too wrought upon by my misfortune to take any thought for my defense In the afternoon I had regained enough of my equanimity to talk with Clara especially sure I was the thief was Sadie Stamper And the new guest I said how does slie feel about it What new guest The one who arrived yesterday aft ernoon No guest arrived yesterday after noon She came while you were all away I received her for you and since I did not know what room to put her in I left her in mine Come to think of it Ive not seen her since It was all out that the thief was this woman who had passed herself off on me as her guest Clara was so delight ed at what she considered my vindi cation that she was about to run downstairs to make it public when I to have a house party at their coun stopped her I had suddenly regained my head Not so fast I said Who will be lieve my story of this woman whom no one but I have seen I do Of course you do but there are others who will not Promise me that for the present you will keep the mat ter secret Other purposes than vindication crowded upon me I wished to see how Ralph Priestley would treat me while under a cloud Shortly before dinner I went down into the parlor Now that the matter was explained to my own and my hosts satisfaction I felt easier in presence of the others There were several in the room when I entered including Ralph and Sadie who were sitting together on a In the center of the room I walked past both of them without looking at either and I did not bear myself like a thief by any means I walked to a window where I stood looking out for a few minutes then passed into the library Seating myself at the long table in the center of the room I took up a periodical I had been there but a few minutes when Ralph Priestley entered I could see by the expression on his face his knit brows that he was very much disturbed I have been seeking an opportu nity he began when I stopped him looking at him as severely as I could and pointing to the door Please listen to me he began again I will not listen to any man who while I suffer under a false accusa tion not only fails to give me his sup port but turns against me I have not turned against you I You have devoted yourself to one who has assumed that I am guilty and has treated me accordingly I arose and swept out of the room Smarting as I was under his having transferred his attentions to my rival a rival who had taken no pains to conceal her opinion that I had stolen the missing jewels I confess I reveled in my treatment of Ralph Priestley Finding that he was endeavoring to see me alone I persistently kept out of his way except when there were others about As soon as the detective was in formed of my story as to the woman who had passed herself off as a guest he began operations on a different line He took down as minute a description of her as I was able to give him also a description of every article that was missing I asked him why she had hidden the articles in my bureau draw er and he said that by incriminating some one in the house she hoped to divert suspicion from herself long enough to dispose of her plunder For several days while he was at work on the case I remained with the party affable to those who were affable to me paying no attention to those who were cool to me There was a side play going on that I enjoy ed watching Sadie Stamper was en deavoring to hold on to Ralph Priest ley and Ralph was trying to get rid of her The poor fellow was between two fires He knew that I would not listen to him so long as he continued his attentions to Sadie and to break away from her was not an easy mat ter especially as his only excuse was that she believed me a thief which was no more than others of the party believed Then one morning the detective re ported that he had found some of the missing property in a pawnshop and within a couple of days after the dis covery had arrested a woman with more of it in her possession She tal lied with my description of her and turned out to be living in the neigh borhood of the Eyrie This was the reason she knew of the house party and the automobile excursion and was able to concoct her plan of robbing the house That evening at dinner our host let out the story returning a number of the missing articles to their owners I was now in a very enviable posi tion I knew those who were friend ly to me and had honored me with their confidence while I had been un der a cloud and I knew those who had not They all crowded around me to show their good will and assure me that they had not for a moment believed me to be guilty The only person who did not approach me was Ralph Priestley whose every effort to do so I had succeeded In thwarting Now that I was vindicated he not only kept away from me but Clara came to me after dinner to tell me that he was going away on a late train I watched for him to come downstairs and when he came pre pared for the journey I met him and extended my hand His countenance changed from a very lugubrious ex pression to a very happy one We went into a side room and I kept him there till it was too late to make his train It was Sadie who made the first break in the circle for I not only de- about the matter and asked her which cllned to notice her but since Ralph one of the party believed me guilty understood that he must choose be- I The only one she mentioned as being tween us he chose me 3 THE
