When women of ' secretly questionable

In friendly converse they are exceedingly
cere! ill to eteer away from any discus
sion of vice. They
prefer to talk of

I and their- private

5 The child ta all affection and tender-
nee, yet he la stirred with a creepy
sensation of dellrht and horror tnter-
mingled when he hears these tales of
atauKhter (stories, by the way, which
I no child should aver be permitted to hear
during his nursery nayaO. 1
It la quite In the same way that good
firia and pore-be art ed women are led
through their - onrloalty to listen to
stories' of -human depravity and vice, and
to repeat to one another the tales of
wicVedneaa which they bare read' or
heard.
Had they- taken part la any of these
phases of life they would not want to
talk about them unless they had become
utterly depraved and Indifferent to public
opinion: yet area with the excuse of the
curiosity which often accompanies virtue
and thwxpertance, it la a step la the wrong
direction whan a good woman with noble
and worthy aims allows herself to talk
about unwholesome subjeota.
It ta Impossible for a woman of lnteUV
genoa to live ta the world a score of
years and not know that vice and de
pravity exist. It la necessary that aha
should know It If aha Intends- to be a
factor for good,., and not -a mesa-Jay

A BANK PRESIDENT.
I saw whole row of 'em the other day in a small country town
(there's where they grow the wearers of the laurel, and the crown
of financial renown) all In a blessed row In all stages of '1st kid
hood! I slowed my car down so I might see them well, as they
camped like ft company of rabbits on a grassy bank. This Isn't all
of them never nor . Only & wild clutch at the best of 'em. And ad
miring, them 1 thought; "This is 'great' stuff the stuff that the
great are made of. Air you faces of great men, severe faces, dream
ing faces, puszllng faces, and splendid ones that we grow familiar
with in the things that tell about you yoa were just this once; you
had freckles on your nose, and your folks ate In the kitchen, and
you played a 'mouth-organ and wore a hard canvas cap with the let
ters of somebody's soap in sunset colors around your head. You
were Just this a funny and dead and poor little kid." And I sur
veyed this lovable and varied little band; little patched one with
your soap cap; debonair boy with the overalls and "Beanie" and the
one tooth "among the missing;" cotton-topped chubby with the lit
tle Dutch coat and the bare, curled toes and the sun in your eyes;
jockey-capped "feller" with the pink waiBt and the blue overalls
scrubbed gray at the busy knees; puffing chappie with the "ole"
white hat and the mahogany-colored legs; round baby with the socks
of great wealth and whose toes were shiny only because they were
new; and lanky kid with a polka-dot tie that you stiff la your pocket
the minute you get out of slgbt of home (I know from when I was
a little glrj), with the freckles and the eyes as bright as bits of glass
in the sun.. And I thought. "Here sit the great, sure enonghl Tou
with the m inning tooth will dream the poetry that will chant the spirit
of your country aloud and Dutch-Jacket will smile with the same
ghost of a squint down from the steps of the White House some day. .
And lots of folks will never believe that he ever curled his toes In
the dust of a eountry lane and wore a safetypln on his breast! Under
the little print shirt and behind the peaked and battered cap of the
humblest little trudger you pass, is the heart and the brain perhaps
of a figure that will loom against the sky, throwing the shadow across
a continent of listening people." NELL BRINKLEY. -

"Give me just reason then for think

"According to you, I'm not fit to live."
"Oh, CelesUs."
"If you even own that I was going to
ruin the world and that my death would
leave the world as It Is, would you wish
me dead?"
"What an awful thought, CeleeUa!"
"Would you?",-
"I would wish vyou somewhere where
you could do 0 harm. I would keep you
always in my. arms arut never let you
go." .
"Tommy, dear, . you're so tiresome
sometimes." ,
It was almost dark when Tommy tore
himself away and went back to the town.
Celestla would have liked to have sat
on and on In the darkness, thinking- long
thoughts. But her re very was Interrupted
by a voice, which its owner, without
great effect, was evidently striving; to
make agreeable.
"Are you ready to, talk a little business
now? May I oome In?"
"Tee. come In." '
There was a reluctance and petulance
in Celestla's . voice which did not help
assuage the Jealous frensy which pos
sessed Prof. fitlUiter.
"Celestla," he said, "look at mo and
listen to me."
Bhe looked and listened. -
"This folly of yours, this weakness, ta

The words meant nothing to her, trem
bling with a passion growlna more and
more careless of consequences, he was
exerting all the . powers of the will to
subdue hers.
Presently her eyes faltered and half
closed-, her head dropped. An equally
extraordinary change came Into 8U litter's
voice. It became at ones greasily soft,
oareaslng and trumphant.
"Come to me. Oome close."
It was now very dark In the tent.
"Kiss tnel Kiss me!"
At that moment from far off there
sounded the whistle of a departing train.
On one of the platforms stood a ycniag
woman, thickly veiled, who might have
been mistaken for a lady's maid. She
was waving one hand to a friend, who
waved back, with the other she appeared
to be somewhat significantly tapping the
neck of her dress.
The friend on the platform looked sur
prisingly like sirs. Qunsdorf.

there," he aald. "Even If he's stek, the
other children will be expecting me, I
go every Saturday and this Is Saturday."
"I know, darling,, and I'm sorry but
we'll make it up to you in some wsy,
won't we father?" turning for confirma
tion of her statement ta her husband, who
sat at ths breakfast table absorbing bit
coffee and the morning paper at one and
the asms time.
"Surely wa will." he acquiesced.
"I tell you- what," , the mother pro
posed, .."you shall go out driving ths
very next time father and I go ahan'f
he, fathsrr
"Of course he shall." the father as
sented sbsnnt-mlndedly, his eyes on ths
latest political scandal. Then, glancing
at the clock, he noticed .that it was time
he was taking the train Into town, and
hurried off. . ' -1
As it was Saturday, the master of the
house returned from town early In tha
afternoon. Thcrs was an Important busi
ness matter he wished to talk over with
his wife. The dsy was perfect. Why
not go for a driver
He suggested this after he had given
his life-partner the usuat affectionate
greeting. "There Is a scheme our firm
has on hand, and I want to tell you about
It," he aald. "Let's take the buggy and
go off Slone for an hour or two."
"I'd love to," ahe rejoined.
'A halt hour later- the small boy of
tha family,' from his playhouse at the
end of the garden, saw ths horse and
buggy standing at the front door. He
ran up tha long walk as fast as he
oould, but. In spite of his haste, his
father was just helping his mother Into
the carriage ss tha child reached them,
his face dirty and streaming with
perspiration.
"I'm going, too," ha panted.
"Oh, no,' dear," his mother said. "Not
this time. . Tou are to stay at horns with
auntie. See, sho is there on tha veranda
waiting for you now."
"But, mother," the child began, "you
know you and father"
The horse took a restless step forward
and tha owner sprang into the buggy be
side bis wife and gathered up the reins.
"Whoa, there!" he ordered Impatiently.
"Opod-bye, son, be a good boy."
The father looked severe. "Tom,
didn't you unt hear your mother say
that you wars to stay at home with
auntie? When shs says a thing she
means it. So-long!"
The mother kissed her hand to him
and the pair ware off, whirling k away
down the drlvs without a backward
glance at the forlorn, small figure left
behind. '
Tha child stood looking aftsr them
so earnealy that he was not awars that
his aunt had come down tha veranda
steps to his side. ... . ... , ;
"Well!" -shs heard him exclaim softly,
"there goes two of ths dsrndest liars
ever made!" .
When this story was told to me I could
not Is ugh quite as heartily as did the
other hearers. Back of the Incident wss
what It stood for. There was a promise
which hsd been mads to blunt the sharp
ness of a childish .disappointment a
promise that had been. Indorsed by the
child's highest court of appeals his
father. The tad had comforted ' himself
for his chagrin at his Inability .to '.go
to his best friend's house by tha ex
pectation of going driving "tha very next''
time" thst mother went. , It was a de
lightful prospect
And when ths carriage appeared, be
was surs thst ths promise was to be
fulfilled. Then-the blasting truth had
burst upon him. Ths two In' whom he
trusted had been false to him. They had '
gone away In a hurry and left him be
hind. For t'hlldren do' riot reason things out
as do grown-ups.
