Dr. Hartley laid down Brett's letter, his face shining. “Splendid! Shake!” The doctor gripped Davi and Cor “Now, I'll tell you ‘something. Temple, you have given the Citizen's Party the one issue that will pry the Rourkes off the city’s throat. We'll fight them at election for t ng to legalize rotten tenements. And you are the man to lead the fight! Hitherto, with the smirch on your name the Rourkes tried to smear, you've been handicapped. But now the public will turn to vou in reaction and because you know what you're talking about. *"" “Here’s my proposition: The Citizen’s Party will finance you while the campaign is on. If we win we'll fight to have a building commission creat- ed to safeguard tenements. And you'll be the inevitable man to lead the commission. What do you David arose. He walked over to the window and threw it open. He felt he wanted great draughts of breath and a few moments for a big decision. Cora and Dr. Hartley understood and walked into the next room. In his hands he held the offer from Brett of a return to safety, com- fort, a future full of personal prosperity. How he had yearned for even a mite of such a prospect in the lean, soul-killing months he had passed since leaving Colony Parlk! ; Freelancing had brought him nothing but stuff to try his soul with. If there were only he to bear the brunt of failure—if failure it had to be—it would not be so hard to bear But Cora looked to him. When he had asked Cora to marry him the proposal carried with it an implied promise that he would make a success for her. His months of failure as a free lance had brought the whisper of doubt to his heart. “Shall I sec disappointment in her face after all? Will she feel ashamed of me before other men—men who have succeeded?” It seemed to David that the bitterest pang in failure would be what Cora would feel. In Colony Park with Brett, David would feel established, assired, certain that the dreaded look or feeling of shame for him would never comse to Cora. It would be good-by to freclancing and unlimited vis- tas; but, oh, such comfort and safety! Good-by to freelancing and unlimited vistas! And gzood-by to rebuffs, struggle and pain! Dr. Hartley's pro posal meant fight, grim campaign against a powerful, ugly enemy, uncertain reward dependent upon uncer- tain victory. David turned from the window to tell the doctor and Cora that he had decided for returning to Colony Park. But he could not understand the dissatisfled feeling in himself. Just then his eyes fell on a little book, “Songs for Courage,” open at a selection from Browning. He read in spite of himself: “Then welcome each rebuff That turns earth’s smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit, nor stand, but go! Be our joys three-parts pain! Strive and hold cheap the strain, never grudge the throe!” Like a flash David knew why his decision to go back to Brett brought no exultant feeling with it. Exultation went with courage, not with sur- render. To go back to employment and safety was to surrender. Success as a hireling was still only success as a hireling. And David craved to be his own master—master of his craft and master of it for himself. Furthermore, his career in the past had meant to him at the most only personal prosper- ity. As far as the weal or woe of the great masses went, they would be as badly off whether David thrived or not. But if he enlisted in the Citizen’s Party fight for honest housing for the mass of workers his triumph would be their triumph; their triumph, his! And there would be no shutting the door on a man’s biggest dreams; no lapsing into soft and certain living; no losing the right to feel kinship to the brave spirits of all times who have dared for their soul's good and the world’s good to “welcome each rebuff That turns earth’s smoothness rough!” “Cora—Dr. Hartley, I'm with you in this fight through thick and thin!” he cried. joining them. Dr. Hartley seized his hand and shook it in the grip the fraternity fighters for weal know. Then David turned to Cora for her word. hands. Learn, nor account the pang; dare, of The spirit of joy had left her face! Unpared “Do look at those poor children!” said my companion. On a vacant lot, surrounded by the dismal-looking ten ements of the suburban slums, a d en children were playing. Across the street was a big bakery and two idle delivery wagons were standing in the vacant lot. About them the children were playing, dar- ing each other to bold jumps, some be- tween the shafts acting as horses, others on_the seat driving. They shouted and laughed romped and never a whimper there except when an older boxed her young brother's ears. A Few Tufts Of Ambitionless Grass. It was one of the most unlovely spots I ever saw, no trees, no flowers, of course, and only a few tufts of brown grass from which the life and ambition had been nearly trampled out. The wagons were their only playthings. Ang yet those children were having a grand, good time. How could they under such heart- rending conditions? Well partly because youth can be happy under almost any handicap, partly because they had one precious possession which the pampered chil- dren of your friends and mine often lack—namely, a reasonable liberty of action. They didn't have anyone to amuse and was sister Apples. them, but likewise anyone to them. They didn’t have nice clothes and they didn't have to keep them clean. Children Who Live By Schedule. I am thinking of the children of a neighbor of mine. Their day is arranged per schedule. Just as they get into some very im- portant play the nurse-maid calls them. ‘Just a. minute,”” they sa “No, you've got to have your bath right now,” or “your nap” or “your lunch” or “your drive,” whatever it is the schedule calls for. Isn’t it enough i to make anyone cross to constantly be obliged to do what other people want you to the minute they want it? And the things they mustn’t do be- cause they aren’t healthful! didn’t have interfere with they constantly They Can Never Eat Apples Au Naturel They mustn’t hold pennies in their hands because of germs, they can never buy cheap candy; if they 2at an apple it must be pared and cut into sections by the nurse-maid. I think that is just typical of their existence—that inspected, pared, cut- up apple. Of ‘course T am sorry for the chil- dren in the hideous vacant lot. But I'm sorry too for the children who never are allowed any of the un- ey e s N e Housekold Notes.

This city will | witness it at the Lyceum theater this evening. | The scenes of the play are laid in There Martha, the daughter of a member of the Society of Friends, falle in love with a heretic, in spite of the fact that her people have scheduled her to marry an eminently respectable elder in the Quaker church, Martha, from the Quaker standpoint, is an incorrigible girl, and the Quakers seek to make her better by punishing her. They fail, and in the face of obstacles she wins her lover, Never was there a daintier, more quaint and delicate comedy than this. And with the comedy goes the seriousness of purpose which has always characterized the writings of Edward Peple, Oza Waldrop will play the title role. She will be supported by Charles A. Stevenson, the distinguished actor, who was last seen in *“Experience’; Edward Emery, Reginald Denny, Jack Raeffel, Walter Walker, Mabel Burt, Ida Mulle, Gladys Fairbanks and Walter Howe. The play, which is be- ing staged by Edgar MacGregor, the well-knewn manager, will be artis- tically and realistically produced. The folowing telegr by the Herald today Mass.,, where “Friend Martha” played last night: “The theater was well goodly portion of the audience was made up of autumn cottagers from the surrounding Berkshire Hills and auto tourists with whom this part of the country is swarming at the present time. “It was a good metropolitan audi- ence that witnessed the premier per- formance of ‘Friend Martha’ and the verdict from all quarters of the house was exceedingly favorable. The at- traction will play in New Britain, Stamford and New Haven the balance of the present week. Next week it will occupy the stage of the Star the- ater, Buffalo, and thence to New York city for a run.” “WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE” NEXT PLAY filled and a “When Dr will be seen ms Come True,” which at the Lyceum theater Thursday evening, is heralded as a dainty musical comedy of youth. Philip Bartholomae, who is respon- sible for the book and lyrics, is the apostle youth on the American stage; and his success has confirmed him in the Dbelief that he is wise, in this he has found many who agree with him, beeause the characteristics of youth are pleasing. “When Dreams Come True” is built around a tangible plot, but it is not a plot so aggressively brought forward that it interrupts one's pleasure the mar ongs and dances, and the fun that surrounds it. 1y necessary to describe the plot here, more than to sa, for the purpose, and carries through a series of entanglements and tiredsome business of its working out, much melodiou music is heard, while the principals and chorus are engaged in agreeablo dancing numbers as well. The music is by Silvio Hein, and is melodious and pleasing. Among tho many hits tha* should linger in the memory are ‘Tiar World,” ‘“When Dreams Come T.c,” “Love Is Such a Funny Little #/.<Img,” “The That Grows Wiere the Flows,” and many others, The company is perfect particular, while there is no partic lar star to feature; the scenery quate in every way . ing exquisite.
