-Chicago News. "
When Richard Harlow informed his
Wife through the 'phone one morning
that Miss Carew was in town and had
accepted his invitation to take dinner
with them that evening , Louise , his
wife , could scarcely keep back the re
monstrating exclamation."Oh. . . Dick ! "
but she restrained * the impulse , and
after a scarcely perceptible hesitation ,
answered , "Well , I'll 'try to have a
good dinner. "
"Nice girl , Louise , " came back in a
satisfied voice. "I knew you wouldn't
object You never do. Is there any
thing you want me to get ? " he asked.
"No , " Louise , returned. "I will order
what I need from the grocery. "
"All right , " said Dick. "Is 0 or 7
o'clock the hour ? "
"I think we'll say 7Louise answer
ed , mindful of the many things which
must be done before evening.
"All right , " Dick repeated. "I'd like
you two girls to meet You know you're
eort of connected. "
There was a touch of laughter In his
roice which Louise understood and re
turned.
"Goodbye , " said Dick.
"Goodbye , " said Jxmise , and the con
versation ended.
Mrs. Harlow was in the midst of her
spring housecleaning and was neither
prepared nor in the humor of guests ,
especially when the guest was Rich
ard's first love , a woman she never had
peen , but had heard of frequently.
While there was only one room in the
chaotic condition pertaining to housecleaning -
cleaning , still the curtaius were remov
ed from several of the windows , and
the house appeared in rather of a dis
mantled condition , according to
Louise's critical eyes. She took pride
In her housekeeping always , but she
\vas especially desirous there should be
no flaws when , for the rirst time , it
came under Miss Carew's observation.
She should-make the best of it and
utter no apologies , she decided. Miss
Carew should know without explana
tion what was going on , though it was
doubtful if she would , Louise remem
bered , as she had never kept house her
self and had no practical knowledge of
what It involved.
Miss Carew was a successful lec
turer. Speaking before the "woman's
clubs was her specialty , and an engage
ment of this sort had brought her to
the city. She and Dick were engaged. ,
and their engagement broken , some
time before he met Louise. It was
scarcely mere than a boy and girl af
fair , and Dick had never spent a mo
ment in repining , but he was inclined
to tease , and the prominence which
Miss Carew's name was given in the
papers kept her in his memory , so that
he often spoke of her to his wife in
mock sentimentality , as his first love.
Louise had an early romance , too.
She told the story to Dick when they
found they loved each other enough to
marry , and then she promptly forgot
the hero of her girlish dreams , though
he occasionally wrote her a letter , to
remind her that he still existed , and
had'not forgoten.
For the first time In a long while
Louise thought of nlm when she was
making preparations to entertain Miss
Carew , after having put a stop to the
housecleaning operations. She smiled
to herself when she remembered that
always , in his letters , there were veil
ed illusions to the romance , they Jiad
lived "together , and thinly disguised
regret that they sliould have parted.
Now that the pain he had caused her
was past , the'veiled allusions and re
grets filled her with amusement He
was the one who had ended tb-a ro
manceby marrying while she was
away at school. lie had written her
loving letters each week , without con
veying a hint of what he was intend
ing. The news of it shocked and hurt
her sorely when it came from another
source. After a while she did not care ,
and no thought of him had ever
marred the happy , congenial life she
and Dick lived together.
In the midst of hei- reflections the
telephone bell rang again , and she
went to answer Its summons. She
heard a soft , drawling voice ask for
Mrs. Harlow.
"I am Mrs. Harlow , " she returned.
"Is that you , Louisu ? ; ' came through
the 'phone. "I didn't dare to be sure.
I happened to be passing through the
city and thought I would call you up.
Do you know who I am ? Don't tell
me you have forgotten I" The inflec
tion of the tones were pleading.
Louise knew the voice , though she
had not heard it for years. Its sound
was once like a hand laid upon her
heart , but that effect was numbered
with the things that nave been and
are no longer.
"Why , it's'Charlie I" she exclaimed ,
with well-simulated surprise. "How
do you do ? What a surprise you arc !
When did you come to the city , and
where are you ? "
Her questions , save one , were Ig
nored.
"I am rery well and I want so much
to see you. Can't I see you , Louise ?
Can't I see you alone ? "
Mrs. Harlow was doing some rapid
thinking. She had no great desire to
see her girlhood's love , but the Idea
of having him come to dinner with
Dick's first love appealed to her sense
of humor. Now that company had
been forced upon , her , one more would
make little difference.
"Come out and have dinner with us
this evening , " she Invited cordially. "I
should love to have you come , " she as
sured him.
"And may I see you alone , just for a
few moments so we may talk of old
times , Louise , " the soft , languid voice
pleaded.
"Oh , I don't know about that. Come
out and see , " she answered , briskly.
"Thank you , ever so much , Louise.
I shall be glad to come , " she heard
through the "phone.
Louise did not inform Dick of the
addition to their party until he reach
ed home a short time before the hour
for dinner. He was standing in the
middle of their _ -room , vigorously
brushing his hair. The brushes were
suspended in midair , while he gave a
long whistle of surprise wnen his wife
told him who was coming. He looked
a little grave and thoughtful , and
glanced at Louise anxiously. She was
standing before her mirror , apparent
ly busily engaged with the finishing
touches of her toilet In reality , she
was watching the reflection of her
husband's face in the glass , and what
she. saw filled her eyes with the
twinkle of mischief.
"Yes , " she said , demurely. "I
haven't seen Charlie for years. I
>
should like you two to meet each
other. You know you're sort of con
nected. "
"Oi , you go on , " he exclaimed ,
throwing his arms around her , to the
peril of her delicate gown.
"Go on yourself , you're another , "
Louise returned saucily. "I guess
you're not the only one In the family
who had a first love. "
They indulged - in a hilarious mood
while they awaited their guests , but
they received them with proper de-1
corum , and talked polite nothings un
til dinner was served. Louise , con
scious of looking pale and jaded after
her day's exertion , felt disturbed by
the freshness and finish of the hand
some Miss Carew. She was so correct
In her appointments , and so sure of
herself and of her attractions. The
slender , unformed girl Dick remem
bered had developed into a Junoesque
woman. Everything about her was in
good practice , and she spoke as one
who was accustomed tc receiving at
tention.
Dick was'fascinated by the change ,
and paid her the homage of open ad
miration. Miss Carew was gracious
to the others , but It was Dick In whom
she was most interested , and upon
whom slsc was exerting her charm.
The two seemed so absorbed In each
other that X-ouIse and CharIie whose
formal name was Mr.'Leland were
practically alone. While she talked
'X
him , she studied hfm curiously ,
arid marveled why ho had once seemed
a godlike creature io her. Meeting
him now wqs as commonplace as get
ting up in the morning. To all out
ward appearances time had not
changed him ; it had simply passed , him
by. She noticed his hair had grown
thin on the top of his head , but ! t was
carefully arranged so as to conceal his
approaching baldness. Kis eyes were
as bright and expressionless as ever ,
and the same girlish pink tinted the
smooth skin of his cheeks. She listen
ed to his talk , and discovered his men
tality was as little changed as his
physical appearance.
Finding himself unnoticed by Dick
and Miss Carew , he lowered his voice
and threw the loverlike quality into
his manner. Louise was not happy.
The magnificence of Miss Carew over
whelmed her , making her feel insig
nificant and inferior. Miss Carew
gave out the Impression of one who
had no weaknesses. People who have
no weaknesses are so terrible. Louise
thought , there is no way of taking ad
vantage of them or of finding fault
She was not in , the least influenced
by Charlie. She glanced across the
table at Dick and rejoiced that , while
he was not so polished or elegant as
her first love , he was every inch a
man , and genuine. She heard his
hearty laugh in response to something
Miss Carew was saying , and she be
came so lost to her surroundings In
her pride of him that she forgot to
listen to the tender reminiscences
Charlie was murmuring.
The same situation continued
throughout the evening , with Dick
and Miss Carew entertaining each
other , while Leland and Louise kept
near together. At length Charlie ,
awakening to the fact that the spell
he had cast over Louise years before
no longer held sway , assumed a hurt
expression and was the first to go.
"You're not the same Louise to me
any more , " he said , reproachfully ,
when she went with him to the door.
"Why should I be when you have a
wife and I have'Dick ? " she answered.
"Ah , yes , " he sighed in departing.
Louise returned to the room where
Miss Carew and Dick were sitting. She
took a chair near them , somewhat un
certainly , not feeling sure she would
be Included in their conversation.
Dick , without pausing in what he was
saying , extended his hand toward
Louise in absentminded welcome. Miss
Carew gave a condescending recognition -
tion of her presence. Louise's cheeks
burned with a sense of injury , but she
held her ground. Dick was her's , and
Miss Carew should know it Finding
that Louise intended to stay , Miss
Carew included her in the conversa
tion , making an evident effort to talk
down to her level. Miss Harlow , she
thought , was not worthy of her. am
munition , but as her guest she must
be courteous.
She did not wait long after Charlie
had sk'tied himself away , before she
asked Dick to telephone for a carriage.
Louise was astonished at the alacrity
with which her request was obeyed.
She was relieved whcn her regal guest
was borne away in the carriage , and
the diminishing sound of the wheels
assured her of Miss Carew's certain
departure. She thought , half resent
fully , that Dick need not have lingered
quite so long at the door of the car
riage , but Dick was home and Miss
Carew had gone , and fills was a great
consolation. She could hear Dick in
the hall closing the house for the.
night It had a homely sound that
gave her a sense of security and com
fort
When Dick came into the room he
breathed a long "phew" as one who
had passed through a trying exertion.
'She's a wonder , " he said. "She's a
good-looker and a good dresser , but I'd
rather come down from the heights
and play tag with everyday mortals. "
"Why , Dick , " cried Louise. "I
thought you were completely under the
spell. "
"I thought you were , too , " Dick re
turned , quickly.
They laughed at each other In un
derstanding. Then Dick went to his
wife , and lounging on the broad arm
of her chair , held her to his shoulder.
"Little mortal , " he whispered , "I'm
glad my first love and I didn't get
married. * ' His eyes rested fondly on
Louise's happy face.
She nestled cosily against him , and
was silent for a moment
When she was ready to speak ,
"Dick , dear , ' ' she said , "I'm wonder
ing how in the world I ever imagined
myself In love with Charlie. " Toledo

Judge Landis' denunciation of tha
tactics employed by the directors of tha

position of the $20,240,000 fine on tha

couched in language that could not be

by the court
{ In the pamphlet , distributed broad

Finds Remains of IMastodon.
Word has recently been received from
Prof. C. W. Gilmore , who , accompanied
by Prof. W. T. Shaw of the Washington
State College and a party of scientists
from the East , is now in central Alaska ,
that they Lave found .a specimen of the
mastodon frozen intact in the great Muir
glacier , near the Chilkoot Pass. The
party set out on this particular errand
and their hopes were more than realized
when they discovered this large and per
fect specimen imbedded in the great ice
field in very much the same position as
when overwhelmed by the frigid elements.
On some portions of the animal the hair
and flesh were still fresh , but crumbled
when exposed to the air. It is estimated
that the length of the mastodon from the
end of its trunk to the tip of the tail
was about 75 feet , and that when stand
ing on all fours the height must havf
been nearly 40 feet.
