By CHARLOTTE BANfiS;

"Guv Foster is air right. I dare
say, but I can't get up much enthusasm
over a small man."
"How can you think him small?
Fie may be rather short, now that I
:hink of it. but he-was acknowledged
:he finest athlete in his class, and he
certainly is fine looking. And he's a
:horoughly splendid fellow, which
:ounts for more than mere exterlals."
The first speaker cleared her
hroat as if irritated.
"I have yet to be convinced that
i small man hasn't a small nature
md little manly courage. It is possible
for an athlete to be a coward,
'"Ou will probably concede."
The man on the other side of the
vail, lazily reclining behind a clump
>f spruces, wondered at the acrimony
n the voice. He felt for the moment
hat it would give this girl pleasure
o know that he heard her scathing
emarks of him and that they hurt,
ie half arose, upon an ironical immlse
to make his presence known,
hen drew back as the voices receded
lown the country road.
Why did she dislike him so blterlv?
He had been greatly attracted
o her upon his arrival at this place,
md a strong sympathy had seemed
o spring up between them at once.
3y a mutual drawing together they
valked and rode and golfed and
alk&d day after day in close associaion
with one another until the ad
rent of Stephen Bates upon the scene,
who, as Foster was told, was an old
riend between whom and Rose
Jlynn there existed a perfect undertanding.
This story was borne out
>y the cordiality of their greeting
md the attitude of Bates. Guy had
hen felt that she had taken him up
is a pastime, and with a disappointnent
deeper than he at that time
ealized, he had thenceforward given
ip the field to his favored rival. Miss
Jlynn's manner toward him underwent
a marked change. She treated
tim with slighting indifference, borlering
on scorn. He could account
or it only upon the ground of the
canton cruelty that a certain type
>f woman indulges toward the victim
>f her charirfs.
Her words cut him to-day. Yet.
itrange to say, it was the shaft at
lis physical stature that was barbed,
rhe slur against his '"nature" and
'courage" seemed trifling; but the
>ther rankled. Rose Glynn was very
all. and Stephen Bates stood a head
ibove her. With the thought of
Bates the furies suddenly seized him.
Sandsome as a prince, of winning
>ersonality and great wealth, what
:hance could Foster ever have had
igainst him. even if he had not been
oo late in the field? He felt a coniuming,
unreasonable hatred toward

he fire of his passion there flared up
nto his vision the revelation that he
limself loved her with all the inensity
of his life.
It was late in the evening when,
ifter a Ions swim in the cooling sea,
le returned to the hotel. The
hythmic strains of dance music heat
softly upon his weary senses, and he
paused for a moment at the door of
the ballroom on his way upstairs.
Fascinated, he watched a certain tall
:ouple moving gracefully among the
:hrong. They were well matched, he
had to admit. A startled look came
into Miss Glynn's face when she saw
him, and remembering his rough appearance,
he quickly withdrew. Going
to his room, he packed his trunks
?for he intended to be gone on the
morrow, and then went to bed.
He awoke, stifling. The room was
full of smoke. Some twenty minuter
later, standing with a solemn crowd
in a neighboring field, he. watched
the doomed building By a strange
and unconscious mutuality of action
he and Rose Glynn were standing
side by sid'.*. Suddenly he rernern
bered.
' Where is Bates?" he asked sharp
ly.
Nobody hod seen him. Mis:
Glynn had sunk to the ground anc
covered her face.
Foster bent over her. "Couraze,"
ho said firmly. "I will brinz him t<
you?if he is to be found!"
Soon the awe-struck crowd saw :
ladder raised and the figure of a inai
Swiftly ascend to an upper story am

they saw him reappear, bearing th<
limp form of a man upon his shoul

which the pair had emerged.
Shortly after sunrise Guy Foste

you should have protected yourself,
also." I
He made no reply, but stood as il
expecting her to go.
"Why did you speak lo me oi
Stephen Bates as you did?" she
asked in a strained voice. "He is
nothing to nie hut a friend. I am j
grateful to you for saving him from
so fearful a fate?but you?misun- J

lv away, then strengthened again. '
"I came to tell you that I knew you ,
were behind the wall this morning, i
What I said did not express my real
thought?I said it to hurr. you?I ;
kuew then it wasn't true?\"
His heart was lighter than it had
been for weeks. i
"Why did you want to hurt me?" ,
he asked gently.
Her hand was on the door knob in [
sudden panic. Ignoring his question, j
she bravely finished what she had [
come to say. "I came to ask your
forgiveness for the terrible injustice .
, of my words."
"Rose?Miss Glynn?Hang these (
bandages! How the deuce can a
mummy?" But she was gone.
Weeks afterward, in her cosey sit- !
j ting room in town, she told him all (
I he wanted to know.

She laid a hand over his lips.

BACK FROM CANADA.
_____
Some Farmers Who Emigrated Are !
Coming Home.
A counter movement of immigration
from Canada into the United
States has apparently set in, if the influx
from "over the line" in northern
Montana may be taken as indicative
of the present trend. According to
an official report by United States
Collector of Customs Blair at Sweetgrass
in that State, hundreds of families
have come over from Canada
within the past week and have taken
up government lands in Montana; |
this movement began early in the j
winter and has increased each day |
until the total of newcomers from !
across the line has reached many j
thousands. These newcomers are J
v very largely men rfnd women who had ,
given up their citizenship in the United
States in urder to take up Cana- '
dian government lands; some of them ,
have be&n in Canada long enough to ;
prove up their homesteads, but large j
numbers of them have come back j
without waiting to obtain title to ;
their government lands, or have sold !
their relinquishments, or deeded their
lands. So there would appear to be j
no call for official or other action in
this country to "stem the tide" of j
American immigration into Canada, j
These things always adjust them- j
selves if let alone. The Canadian ;
land boom, the "call to the far north- j
west," caught many thrifty Ameri- J
can fr.rmers no doubt who. had tbey ,
taken thought and deliberately meas- j
ured the chances for the success or |
the failure of the experiment, would j
never have ' pulled up stakes"?and 1
it is this class apparently that is now |
moving southward in "the States;" j
others will stay and fight it out, of i
course. The incident is at least be- !
ginning to disclose tLat there is an. j
unstable and migratory contingent
among our northwestern farmers that
is never quite satisfied with existing
conditions. The great bulk of our
northern and western farmers must
sooner or later learn, however, that
if a change is desirable, the south \
holds out the greatest attractions for J
j them.?New York Commercial.

On G'XkI Breeding.
A great part of our education is
sympathetic and social. Boys and
girls, said Emerson, who have been
brought up with well-informed and
superior people show in their manners
an inestimable grace. Fuller
say? that "William, Earl of Nassau,
won a subject from the Kinp of Spain
every time he took off his hat."
You cannot have one well-bred
man without a whole society of such.
They keep each other up to any high
point. Especially women; it requires
a great many cultivated women?
salons of brigat, elegant, reading
women, accustomed to ease and refinement,
to spectacles, pictures,
sculpture, poetry and to elegant society?in
order that you should have
one Madame de Stael.
"Woman and Love.
One thing that the generalizes
never take into consideration (possibly
because they do not know it,
and generally because they are men
or old-fashioned women) is the enormous
percentage ot non-maternal
women. Whether this was the case
in ancient times, or whether it is the
gradual result of education and
leisure, increased independence and
the facilities for knowing men before
marriage, I cannot say, but the fact
remains that thousai ('j of women
that are married ought not to be; are
the dutiful mothers of children whom
:hey secretly regard as enemies. They
have married in their springtime because
tradition and youthful instinct
(nothing is more evanescent) suggested
it. There was a time, happily
passing, when the collocation "old
niaid" was almost a term of insult;
when it was even a matter of pride
to be a young grandmother. There is
no possible doubt that whether women
get. the vote soon or late, this division
of their sex will come early
and more early to the conclusion that
the less they have to do with love the
happier they will be.?Gertrude
Athenon, ia Harper's Bazar."
A Word About Julia Ward Howe.
Jul.a Ward Howe, author and reformer,
was born May 27, 1819, in a
handsome home in Bowling Green,
New York City. At the time of her
birth that part of the city was the
most desirable residence quarter, being
both aristocratic and fashionable.
Her father, Samuel Ward, was a merchant
and banker of New York. Four
of her ancestors were Governors of
Rhodo Island, two of them beingWards
and two Greens. On both
paternal and maternal sides Mrs.
Howe sorun& from fine old blood.
When in her fifth >ear Julia Ward
lost her mother, a beautiful and accomplished
woman cf twenty-eight.
Six little ones?of whom Julia was
the fourth?were l?ft without a
mother's love and care. Of her father
Mrs. Ward has this to say: "He
was a majestic person, of somewhat
severe aspect and reserved manners,
but with a vein of true geniality and
benevolence of heart. His great gravity
and the absence of a mother nat"

urany suuuueu uie uj.ic vi iuk uuu?fi
hold: and. though ;i greatly cherished
set of children, we were not a j
merry one."
Although as a child Julia Ward
showed remarkable aptitude in her
studies, being advanced to classes
comprised of girls twice her own age.
she was still a nierrv, playful child
at heart, and when, on her ninth
birthday, her dolls were taken away
from her and she was told iu a serious
jig
tone by her aunt that ' Miss Ward
was too old to play with dolls any
longer," the separation from her playthings
almost broke her heart, and
many nights she wept herself to sleep
on her pillow, mourning for her
pretty toys that had been so ruthlessly
denied her.
Her father provided the finest
tutors for his children, and the Ward
home became the centre of a distinguished
class of people, artists, writers
and musicians gathering there at
regular intervals to enjoy the gracious
hospitality of their host and the
society of his brilliant sons and
daughters, of whom Julia was the
most gifted.?Washington Star.
' Queen Goes Shopping.
A few days after my arrival at
Milan, while strolling one afternoon
on the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele,
that favorite Milanese and cosmopolitan
resort, I passed a glove shop, and
remembered that I had left my gloves
in the railway carriage. I thought
I might as well buy a new pair, and
entered the shop.
A customer had gone in before me,
a lady, young, tall and slender, quietly
but elegantly dressed in a plain,
dark traveling frock. Through the
long, blue motor veil that closely
shrouded her face I could dimly see
her large, dark eyes and masses of
black hair. The face appeared .to be
refined and pretty. She was leaning
over the counter and trying on gloves
which a young shop assistant handed
to her.
"They are too large," she said,
shyly.
'"That is because the signora has so
small a hand," replied the young assistant
gallantly.
She smiled and did not ansyer. An
elderly lady who was with her gave
the youth an indignant and scandalized
glance. After patiently allowing
the measure of her hand to be
taken, open and closed?it was inhe

deed a very small one?she found two
pairs of gloves that suited her, paid
for them and turned to go.
Just then the owner of the shop
returned. He looked at the lady,
gave a bewildered start, and, as soon
as she was gone, shouted to his assistant:
"Have you the least idea whom you
have been serving?"
"A very pretty woman?I know
that!"
"Idiot! It was the Queen! "
The Queen! It was my turn to
feel bewildered. The Queen alone,
unprotected, in that arcade full of
people! I was on the point of following
her, from professional habit,
forgetting that I was not at Milan
as an official, but as a private .tourist.
But it was too late, she had already
disappeared in the crowd.?Xavier

Two materials frequently appear in

Some braid novelties show touches

Cushion covers of suede leather are
exceedingly popular this season.
Coarse blue linen frocks, embroidered
with blue and coral silk, are
made for young girls.
Either banding, piping, or feather
stitching in color is effective for the

diaphanous materials promise to be
more popular than ever this season.
Parasols of embroidered linen are
popular. They are only suitable for
carrying with linen or cotton frocks.
In place of the narrow stitching
characteristic of the short glove of
last season, the long silk glove now
worn has wide embroiderv on the
back in self-color or in black.
So popular is the frill of pleating
at the left of the front of the shirt
waist that blouses which fasten in the
back are given the blouse's closing
effect by means of dainty accessories.
The jabot is a long frill and gives
length; the rabat is a flat little tab
which lends an air of doctrinal severity
to the prettiest face; the plisso
is the side frill, the most popular of
all.
The prettiest raci in fans is tne

It is soft, crisp and becoming to the

Ill DISTRIBUTION
AN EXACT SCIENCE
Fully a Million Dollars a Week In
Foreign Gold Comes to This
Country to Pay For Standard's
Product That is Peddled to the
Doors of Hutand Palace,According
to the Rockefeller Plan of
International Earter.
This Rockefeller Foundation, to
nake a story of it, is in reality just
his?it is the dream of a poor boy
cme true. It is the happy ending
>f an American novel of real life. .Att
a the climax of one of the most dramatic
and impressive careers that
his country, or any other, has ever
:nown. . } ,
The dream?or the novel or drana.
whichever you like?began more
hac half a century ago. It began in
i shabby little boarding house In
Cleveland, In the brain of a lad of
eighteen who was clerking for a
.hipping and real estate company,
rhere were at that time about a
nillion other American boys of the
iaiie age, and not many of them bad
^ceived fewer privileges than this
me. He had been educated partly
n the public schools, but mainly at
iome. by his mother and father. His
)ay, at this time, was sixty cents a
lay. His hours of labor were from
ireakfast until bedtime. For his
oom and meals he was paying $1 a
veek, so that his net income?the
>asis of his dream of fortune and phianthropy?was
not more than $135
l year.
Even at this time, and with this
ncome, he built a tiny little founda:ion
of his own. Out of the slity
:ents a day, he set aside a few penlies
for the church, or for some hungry
family, or to drop into some hat
hat was passed around in the office.
The notebook in which tlnse little *
jhilanthropic entries were made Js
itill in existence. It is knowi^by
:he name of "Ledger A" in the R&rk
;ieuer iamuy. u is a completely
vorn out little notebook, with broten
cover and tattered pages of
laded writing, but it is one of the
nost precious treasures in the Hocke'eller
vaults. It has more than a
personal Interest now. It has sudlenly
become historic, because it records
the origin of "the most com-'
jrehensive scheme of benevolence in
;he whole history of humanity."
The managerial instinct was so
strong In this boy that he was not
satisfied with merely paying his share
nto the contribution boxes. By the i
;ime he was nineteen he had ripened
nto an organizer of benevolence,
tie was a member of a mission
:hurch, which was fast breaking
idwn under the weight of a $2000
Mortgage. This sixty - cent - a - day
pouth undertook to collect the
M AMATT n ? In A /I i /J
XLUUCJ't auu. uc uiu ik.
"That was a proud day," he said
In later years, "when the last dollar
was collected."
Little as he knew It, the boy was
then at work upon the fulfilment of
ills dream to become perhaps the
greatest getter, and the greatest giv?r,
of his generation.
Later, when he became a prosperous
man of business and large affairs,
he still retained the habit of
organizing his giving as well as his
getting. He even went so far as to
organize his family into a sort of
foundation. At the breakfast table
tie would distribute the various appeals
for help among his children,
requesting them to investigate each
;ase and make a report to him on
the following day. In this way his
children, and especially his, son and
aamesake, who is destined to distribute
the revenue of the Rockefeller
fortune, received a Spartan training
In "the difficult art of giving."..
The whole bent of the Rockefeller
mind seems to have been inclined
from the first toward the working
out of this problem of distribution.
The business of the Standard Oil
Company itself is much more a matter
of distribution than of production,
[t was unquestionably the first company
that undertook to sell its product
directly to the users on a worldwide
scale. For the most part, it delivers
its oil, not to wholesalers and
middlemen, but to the family that
burns it, whether it be in the United
States or in the uttermost parts of
the earth. It has, for instance, no
fewer than 3000 tank wagons traveling
lirom door to door in the twenty
;ountries of Europe, selling pints and
quarts of liquid light to whosoever
demands it. Fully 51,000,000 a
week, in foreign gold or its equivalent,
comes to this country to pay for
the oil that is peddled to the doors
of hut ana paiace, aauiuiug tu iue

Consequently, both bjo natural aptitude
and business experience. Mr.
Rockefeller was well prepared to
work out the problem of distributing
the surplus money of the rich in a
systematic and efficient manner. His
new foundation is no afterthought
It is no sudden change of mind or
change of heart. It is the natural result
of fifty years of experience and
