After blowing up the Bank, of Lan caster at Lancaster, Tenn., exchang ing volleys with the cashier, W.

General i Discussing the proposed extension of international arbitration in the reichstag, at Berlin, Germany, Chan cellor Von Bethman-Hollwegg classed universal arbitration and universal disarmament as ideals impossible ot realization. "The nations, Including Germany," said the chancellor, "have been talking disarmament since the first Hague conference, but neither in Germany nor elsewhere has a practi cal plan been proposed. Any confer ence on this subject is bound to be fruitless." The value of the fire drill was dem onstrated when fire was discovered in public school No. 43, the Broux, New York. Although- smoke was drift* lng through the building and the ode of burning wood and paper permeated the halls and classrooms, 2,900 little children responded to the Are drill signal and in perfect order marched down the building as they do several times each week.

"Tho demand for workable compen sation act by both employers and em ployees is so universal that it is only a question of time until a way will be found to place it upon the statue books of thev arious states."

' The Russian foreign office tele graphed the Rjssian minister at Pe kin that China s reply to Russia's ul timatum is satisfactory. China's re ply is an attempt to prove that she acquiesced in Russia's demands. : That President Taft and Senators Aldrich and Penrose urged the elect ion of William Lorimer as senator from Illinois ia order to obtain a vote for the Payne tariff bill was the -burden of testimony given by Edward Hines, a Chicago lumber dealer with 'arge interests in the South, before the Illinois sec ite investigation com mittee.

Supreme Court Justice James Aloy sius O Gorman (Dein.) of New York City, was elected United States sen ator from New York by the legisla ture arter the most protracted strug gle over this position ever held in the Empire State.

A survey of tile work that is being done by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was given at the annual conference of the association in Boston by Os wald Garrison Villard, a New York newspaper publisher, who is chair man of the executive committee of the association. Mr. Villard in the egimimg of his address stated that "the association was organized be cause the "situation of the negro In the United States called for a strong militant organization to aefend his rights rad forward his causes.

In his address Mr./Asquith said: "The English Bible belongs not only to the subject of King George, but to the whole English-speaking world. One of the truths which has been slowly real ized, and which now I believe is firm ly rooted In the faith of Christian men and women on both sides of the Atlantic is that war between English speaking people would be not only a crime against civilization, but an int forgivable breach of these few com mandments; which are enshrined in the New Testament. Fire-swept, smoke-stained and water drenched, New York state's magniti* cent $27,000,000 capitol stands a par tial wreck by flames that started in the assembly library, burned away the entire west wing and did damages es timated at $7,000,000 before the fire was declared under control, after jag ing more than four hours. Five" mil lion dollars probably could repair the damage done by fire, but money can not restore the historical records that were the pride of the state library. A merger of 22 plow manufacturing companies into one corporation with a capitalization of $50,000,000 was an nounced at the offices of Deere & Co. The name of the consolidation will be Deere & Co., and its headquarters will be Moline, 111. Washington. Drastic action was taken by Post master General Hitchcock in effecting a reorganization of the railway mau service.

A new counterfeit ten-dollar Unit ed States note, a photographic pro duction of the Buffalo note, not very cleverly executed, was announced by the secret service.

Noodles and pins, When a man marries His trouble begins. CHAPTER 1. At Least I Meant Well. When the dreadful thing occurred that night, every one turned on me. The injustice of it hurt me most. They said I got up the dinner, that I asked them to give up other engage ments and come, that I promised all kinda of jollification, If they would come; and then when they did come and got In the papers, and every one -but ourselves - laughed himself black In the face, they turned on me! I, who suffered ten times to their one! I 8hall never forget what Dallas Brown, said to me, standing with a coal shcvel In one hand and a-well, perhaps it would he better to tell lt all m the order it happened. It began with Jimmy Wilson and a conspiracy, was helped on by a foot square piece of yellow paper and a Japanese butler, and it enmeshed and mixed up generally ten respectable members of society and a policeman; Incidentally, it developed a pearl col lar and a box of soap, which sounds Incongruous, doesn't it? It 1B a great misfortune to be stout, especially for a man. Jim was ro tund and looked shorter than he really was, and as all the lines of his face, or what should have been lines, were really dimples, his face was about as flexible and full of expression as a pillow in a tight cover. The angrier he got the funnier he looked, and when he- was raging and his neck swelled up over hi3 collar and got red, he was entrancing. And ; every body liked bim, and borrowed money from him, and laughed at his pictures (he has one in the Hargrave gallery lr. London now, BO people buy them lr s te ad), and smoked his cigarettes, and triad to steal his Jap. The whole story hinges on the Jap. ' ; The trouble was, I think, that no one took Jim seriously. His ambi tion in life was to be taken seriously, bet people steadily refused to. His art was a huge Joke-except to him EC f. If he asked people to dinner, evwry one expected a frolic. When ho married Bella Knowles, people chuckled at the wedding, and consid ered lt the wildest prank of Jimmy's owe er, although Jim himself seemed to take lt awfully hard. We had all known them both for yeara. I went to Farrington with Bella, and Anne Browne was her . ma tron of honor when she married Jim. My first winter out. Jimmy had paid me a lot of attention. He painted my portrait in oils and had a studio tea to exhibit lt It was a very nice pic ture, but lt did not look like me, so I stayed from the exhibition. Jim asked me to. Ho said he was not a pho tographer, . and that anyhow the rest of my features called for the nose he had give? me, and that all the Greuze women have long necks. I have not After I had refused Jim twice he met Bella at a camp in tho Adiron dacks, and when he came back he carno at once to see me. Ho seemed to think I would bo sorry to lose him, and he blundered over the telling for SO minutes. Of course, no woman likes to lose a lover, no matter what ehe cay say about lt, but Jim had been getting on my nerves for somo time, and I was much calmer than he expected mo to me. "If you mean," 1 said, finally In des peration, "that you and Bella are-are in love, why don't you say so, Jim? I think you will find that I stand lt wonderfully." He brightened perceptibly. "I didn't know how you would take lt, Kit," he said, "and I hope we will always be bully friends. You are ab solutely sure you don't caro a whoop for me?" "Absolutely," I replied, and we shook hands on it. Then ho began about Bella; it was very tiresome. Bella ls a nice girl, but I had room* ed with her at school, and I was under no Illusions. When Jim raved about Bolla and her banjo, and Bolla and her guitar, I had painful moments when I recalled Bella learning her two songs on each Instrument, and tho old English ballad she had learned to play on the harp. When he said she was too good for him, I never batted an eye. And I shook hands solemnly aorosB the tea table again, and wished him happiness--which was sincere enough, but hopeless - and said we had only been playing a game, but that lt was time to stop playing. Jim kissed my hand, and, it was really very touching. We had been the best of friends ever since. Two days before the wed ding he came around from, his tailor's and we burned all his letters to me. He would read ono and say: "Here's a crackerjack, Kit," and pass lt to me. And after I had read lt we would lay lt on the flrelog, and Jim would say, "I am not worthy of her, Kit. I wonder If I can make ber happy?" Or -"Did you know that the duke of Belfast proposed to her in London last winter?" Of course one has to take the woman's word about a thing like that, but the duke of Belford had been mad about Maude Richards all the winter. You can see that the burning of the letters, which was meant to be reminiscently sentimental, a sort of how-eiUy-we-were-lt-ia-all-over-now oo easton, became actually a two hours' eulogy of Bella. And Just when I was bored to death, the Mercer girls dropped in and heard Jim begin to read one commencing "dearest Kit" And the next day after the rehearsal dinner they told Bella! There was vory nearly no wedding at all. Bella came to see me m a frenzy the next morning and threw Jim and his two hundred odd pounds In my face, and although I explained it all over and over, she never quite forjjave me. That was what made lt MW. ICULAR fSIMRCAaE ? TEN. ETC. so hard later*-the s Itu it lon would have been bad enough without that complication. They went abroad on their wedding journey, and stayed seve -al months. And when Jim came back he was fat ter than ever. Everybody noticed it Bella had a gymnasium fitted up in a corner of the studio, but he would not use lt. He smoked n pipe and painted all day, and drank beer and would eat starches or whatever ft is that ls fattening But be adored Bella, and he was madly jealous of her. At dinners he used tb glare at the man who took her in, although it did not make him thin. Bella was flirting, too, and by the tima they had been married a year, people hitched their chairs together anil dropped theil? voices when they were men tioned. Well, on the anniversary of the day Bella left him-oh, yes, she left him finally. She was intense enough about some things, and she said lt got on her nerves to have everybody chuckle when they asked for her husband. They would say, "Hello, Bella! How's Bubbles? Still b?hting?" J.ind Bella would try to laugh and nay, "He swears his tailor says his waist ls smaller, but If it ls he must be grow ing hollow in the back." But she got tired of it at last Weil, on Che second anniversary of Bella's depart ure, Jimmy was feeling pretty .?glum, and, as I say, I am very fond of Jim. Th? divorce had just gone through and Bella had taken her malden name again and had had an operation for appendicitis. We heard after ward that they didn't find any ap pendix, and that the one they showed her in a glass jar was not hers! But If Bella ever suspected, she didn't say. Whether the appendix was anon ymous or not, she got box after box of flowers that were, and of course every one knew That it was Jim who sent them. / To go back to the anniversary; I went to Rothberg's to see the collec tion of antique furniture-mother "Look at That ...7 was looking for a sideboard fqr fa ther's birthday In March-*-and I met Jimmy there looking into .1 worm-hole in a seventeenth century bedpost with the end of a match, and looking, his nearest to sad. When he saw me he came over. "I'm blue today, Kit," h? said, after we""Bad' fihaken nanda;--/Come and help me dig bait and dien let's go fishing. If there's a worin In every hole in that bedpost, we could go into the fish business. It's gool business." "Better than painting?" I asked. But he ignored the gibe and swelled up alarmingly In order to sigh. "This ls the worst day bf the year for me," he, affirmed, staring straight ahead, "and the longest Look at that crack clock over ther. li.you want to see your life passing a*ay, if you want to see the steps by which you are marching to eternity, vatch that clock marking the time. Look at that infernal and staying quiet for 60 seconds and then jumping forward to catch up the procession. Ugh!" "See here, Jim," I said, leaning for ward, "you're not well. Yen can't go through the rest of the daf -Uke this. I know what you'll do. ??ou'll go home to play Grieg on the pianola, and you won't eat any dinker." He looked guilty. ' \ ''Not Grieg," he proteste! feebly. Beethoven." "You're not going to do Mther," I said with firmness. "You ire going right home to unpack th&e new draperies that Harry Bayless^ent you from Shanghai, and you are&oing to order dinner for eight-that r}wlll be two tables of bridge. And yo^ are not going to touch the pianola," j He did not seem enthusiastic, but he roso and picked up his Tat and stood looking down at me vhere I sat on an old horse-hair covei&d sofa. "I wish to thunder I had married you!" he said savagely. "YoFre the finest girl I know, Kit, withoui excep tion, and you are going to throw your r self away on Jack: Manning, or Max, or some ether-" . "Nothing of the sort," I said coldly, "and the fact that you didn't marry me does not give you the privilege of abusing my friends. Anyhow, I don't like you when you speak like that." Jim took me to the door and stopped there to sigh. "I haven't been well," he said, heav ily. "Don't eat, don't sleep. Wouldn't you think I'd lose flesh? Kit"-he lowered his voice so'- anly-"I have gained two pounds!" I said he didn't look it, which ap peared to comfort Mm somewhat, and because we were old friends, I asked him where Belle was. He said he thought she was in Europe, and that he had heard she was going to marry Reggie Wolfe. Then he sighed again, muttered something about ordering the funeral baked meats to be pre pared and left me. That was my entire share in the af fair. I was the victim, both of cir cumstances and of their plot, which was mad on the face of it During the entire time they never once let me forget that I got up the dinner, that I telephoned around for them. They asked me why I couldn't cook when not one of them knew one side of a range from the other. And for Anne Brown to talk the way she did -saying I had always been crazy about Jim, and that she believed I had known all along that his aunt was coming-for Anne to talk like that was Bheer idiocy. Yea,'there was an aunt The Japanese Butler started the trouble, and Aunt Selina carried it along. , j CHAPTER ll. The Way lt Began. It make3 me angry every time I think how I tried to make that dinner a success. I canceled a theater en gagement, and I took the Mercer girls In the electric brougham father ha4 given me for Christmas. Their chauf feur had been gone for hours with, their machine, and they bad tele phoned all the police stations withojt success. They were afraid that there had been an awful smash; they could easily have replaced Bartlett, as Lol lie said, but it takes so long to get new parts for those foreign cars. Jim had a house well uptown, and lt stood Just enough apart from the other houses to be entirely madden ing later. It was a three-story affair, with a basement kitchen and servants' dining room. Then, of course, there were cellars, as we found out after ward. On the first floor there was a Infernal Hand." large square hall, a formal reception room, behind lt a big living room that was also a library, then a den, and back of all a Gregorian dining room, with windows high above the ground, on the top floor Jim had a studio, like every other one I ever saw-perhaps a little mussier. Jim was really a grind at his painting, and there were cigarette ashes and palette knives and buffalo rugs and shields every where. It is strange, but when I think of that terrible house, I always see the halls, enormous, covered with heavy rugs, and stairs that would have taken six housemaids to keep In proper condition. I dream about those stairs, stretching above me In a Jacob's ladder of shining wood and Persian carpets, going up, up, clear to the roof. The Dallas Browns walked; they lived in the next block And they brought with them a man named Har bison, that no one knew. Anne said he would be great sport, because he was terribly serious, and had tte most exaggerated Ideas of society and loathed extravagance, and built bridges or something She had put away her cigarettes since he had been with them-he and Dallas had been college friends-and the only chance she had to smoke was when she was getting her hair done. And she had Binged off quite a lot-a burnt offer ing, she called lt. (TO ?E CONTINUED.) ' Alma Mater. It may not be generally known that the term "alma mater," which tr uni versally applied to colleges and uni versities where men receive their scholastic training, ls of purely Cath olic origin lt had Its source at ta?
