It is a feature of the glad, free life of this republic that every man is en- titled to an opinion on everything un- der the sun, and, within wide limits, is entitled to the unrestricted expres- sion of that opinion. Bill Daidy is one of those who be- lieve there is good in the large exer- cise of that privilege, although of late years he has added tion to candor. In the old days®he came in off his en- ine, loaded with the usual accumula- ion of griefs over the shortcoinings of the roundhouse, which are apt to loom large in the long watches of the night run. He gradually grew the habit of clos- | ing his regular harangue to the round- house foreman with a sort of perora- tion which summed up the real or im- aginary derelictions of everybody con- nected with the road, irom call-boy to president. In an effort to break the -flow of Bill's rough eloguence the roundhouse foreman unwittingly set Bill's feet upon the path that led upward—down- ward, Bill laughingly insists some- times. “Bill, why in thunder don't you write a book?” said the long-suffering | foreman, when Bill had become more than uspally aggressive in his none too gentle impeachments. “You are sure wasting your talent on an en- Bil} glared for a moment before he was able to let down the pressure of i gine.” . road management which he had men- tally assumed, and then, as the recol- lection of a purchase he had recently made for his growing son flashed across his mind, he gave way to a slow grin and said: “Blamed if I don’t believe that's a good idea, Ballard. Maybe I'll just go you a chapter, when my boy gets fit with his machine.” So, Daidy, in his evenings at home, took to rehearsing his daily griefs to the boy, who laboriously hammered them out of the typewriter into gro- tesques of coinposition and the print- er's art. Dzidy “dictated” and ‘“revised,” ;gj “killed copy” and “edited,” although We are now in shape to give you the benefit ; he did not know it in those terms, % ¥ » s, 5 e & & | and after many days what he had of our Low Expenses.

As it neared | eight o'clock they left the place. Sud denly Ralph halted upon the public street. “I declare,” he excialmed, “I left my cuffs in the rack back at the bil lard hall” “Shall I go back with you or walt for you?" inquired Beale, courteously. “Thanks, but I shall have to hurry to get to my appcintment,” expla‘ned Ralph. His face was grave afdgeanxicus all the time later while he sat convers- fng with Eunice or listening to ber plano playing at the Martin home. As he arose to leave she looked appeal- ingly (nto his face. should lock i | “alph, she said, “what 1s troubling NEW VOGUE IN NECKWEAR you this evening? Somethin, , Won't you tell me what it i | He could not resist the wistful ap- ‘peal. He told Eunice of the loss of his cuffs. She realized how sincerely he deplored the loss of her first gift to him. “I have offered a liberal reward at the billiard hall for their recovery,” said Ralph. “I cannot forgive my for- getfulness in leaving them. Sowme one has appropriated them.” “Never mind, Ralph,” Eunice said, sweetly. “They were of little intrinsic value, and I will give you another pair.” Ralph did not leave the trustful girl tin an altogether easy frame of mind. He did not tell her of the safe combi- nation which he had scribbled on one of the cuffs. For the life of him he | could not recall those numerals. This put him in a state of anxiety, {and to some decided inconvenience. Fortunately no business came in that required reference to the contents of the safe, but large amounts were paid and important documents received, and these Ralph locked up in a strong I kno' i tin box and slept with it under his pillow each night. Mr. Martin returned at the end of ten days. le jooked surprised when Ralph made his report. He opened the safe. Then he turned upon his ! bookkeeper with a dark, face. hundred in cash in this safe when I \ went away, and it is gone,” he said, sat down grimly, wrote out a check for ,a month’s salary and added: “Ter- hune, you are discharged.” Ralph was given no ooportunity to | explain. Mr. Martin scouted his story | about losing the combination and not | opening the safe as ridiculous. Ralph | was not even allowed to see Eunice. Disgraced, branded as a thief, he was . sent away from that cherished para- | dise of business and love. Two days later Beale borrowed & | thousand dollars on a note from a . banker. Two days still later Martin | learned that the note was a forgery. He began an investigation. At its termination he was satisfied that his \ fugitive relative was a conscienceless swindler. | Obdurate and selt-willed, he refused : to consider that Ralph might be | guiltless. Just after the flight of Beale, however, Eunice came to him | with flaming eyes. ! “Papa,” she said, “I want you to 'gend for Mr. Terhune at once and make some atonement for misjudging him so cruelly.” l “What do you mean—" began her father. “This: I can prove who opened that safe,” and Funice placed before him— a pair of cuf's and a card covered with figures. “The maid found these in the waste bagket in cleaning the room that Mr. Beale occupied,” said FEunice. “The cuffs he stole from Ralph, the card shows how he distributed that missing twelve hundred dollars.” Within the hour Ralph Terhune was restored to his old position—and a new one—as prospective son;in-law of John Martin, banker. i (Copyright, 1913, by W.

Although Henry Phipps, the Pitts- burgh magnate, delights in giving mil- lions of dollars to hospitals and chari- ties, he will get out of his motor car and go back to his study to turn out the electric lights before starting on the ride. Andrew Carnegie has gone downtown with only a couple of dol- lars in his pockets. He is quite in contrast in this respect with the late Charles'G. Gates, who has been seen | to pull a roll of thousand dollars bills from his pocket when paying a hotel bill. August Belmont is a careful spender in most every particular. He carries a ! pocketful of dimes for use in dispen- sing tips to waiters and other ser- vants, but when it comes to the ques- tion of shoes there is no limit to his . outlay, as he indulges in many new ' pairs each week, The list might be indefinitely ex- tended, for there is perhaps no other characteristic which more widely dif- ferentiates millionaires.

PER PART OF THE FIGURE. That Change, and the Style of the Skirt, Are the Principal Differ ences in the Prevailing Fash- ions—Blouse Siyles. The skirt and the decollctage are the principal points of divergence from the styles of the last 15 ycars, and it will be interesting to watch the fur- ther development of this fashion. kv- erywhere one strong evidence that bodices are growing less trans- parent and the fashion for covering the upper part of the fizure wiih opaque material is progressing. ably by the sprin > use of L and chiffon will be greatly reduced. The Paris designers forestalled this when they showed in their wartime openings the bodices of cloth or velvet for day wear that extended from a line below the waist to the neck, leaving only a splash of whité below the ears. This movement may be in keeping ProlL- with the glorified Moven-age which wa | adopted in a wholesale way in July; it may be the period of the long body line, the girdle at the hips, the wrist- length, tight sleeves and the univer sal use of colored velvets in deep, rich tones, brightened by lavish han- dling of colored jets to imitate jewels. Whatever the reason, it is the strict- ly new note to watch develop. That employment of the fdbri raight wp to the collarbone inter- vention of a rial is sure to win out.
