Tat it also lead the nation in steadiness, restraint and indomitable good sense. New York is the biggest city in the country. It is also the most mized in population and feeling. Its boroughs are the homes of may races and nationalities. In no inconsiderable measure {ts busy life is iefluenced by men of foreign names and foreign aims. In no other city on these shores are the acte of European Govern- ments and peoples of more immediate and intimate interest. In no other city is popular discussion of foreign affairs based upon closer relations with countries and races involved. Inborn sympathies and antegonisms but too long survive transplanting. Amid such conditions straight thinking, unimpassioned talk and | unbesitating of the National Government will redound greatly to the credit of the city. New York's state of mind will, as always, tet the atrongest possible example to business and public opinion throughout the country. c In the néxt few days or weeks the duty of this nation ase guer- dian of international justice and humanity must be at all costes made plain. Meanwhile the City of New York should make itself a groat reser- voir of calm, clear-headed strength.

Surely it is the day of the extremist, and the extremist never realizes limitations. We are watching woman as she enters every — field of activity that was distinctly man’s precinct.’ We applaud her as she efficiently steps side by side with the sterner sex. She is put upon a plane of equality when, in the ver- nacular, she can “produce the goods.” Man does not stop her; he can’t. But when she attempts to lay foundations for a future develop- ment for which by all the laws of nature she was not intended then we must admit that the feminist is running away with herself. There are some places in the policing system in which woman may ably fit in. There are the probation officer and the Juvenile Court officer and similar posts where woman’s sympathy and tact may be utilized with good results. But when Daughter Eve, with all her frailties of temperament, elects that she is ready to wield the blackjack on the drunk, the die orderly and the depraved, it is a sorry spectacle. If man does not stop her, woman should. Verily the modern her’s wail may be “I didn’t raise my {irl to be a policewoman.” Instead of spreading this propaganda there should be a Society for the Prevention of Women Police. oa It is not woman’s work. \ The Stories Of Stories Plots of Immortal Fiction Masterpieces By Albert Payson Terhune | Coprright, 1918, by The Press Puolishing Oo, (The New York Evening World). NO. 8.—A TERRIBLY STRANGE BED; by Wilkie Collins. AULKNER, a rich young Englishman, had come to Paris with @ friend, and the two youths were having the gayest of gay times in the French capital. One night they strayed into a lower class gambling house near the Palais Royal—a place frequented by poor men who could ill-efford to lose. Faulkner sat down at the rouge-et-noir table and began to play recklessly. Soon every other player had gathered around him, for his mot When the gold was heaped high in front of him his friend begged him to stop. Faulkner, mad with the zest of winning, shook off the other's hand with an oath. The friend, angry at such treatment, went home, leav ing him there. | Presently, Fauikner had broken the bank and sat dazedly looking | at the little mountain of gold pieces that were his. An old man in a frayed uniform came forward from the crowd of players, introducing himself as a Napoleonic veteran and warmly congratulating Faulkner on his luck. He dawn @ « addvieed him to fasten his winnings in a big band- Hl Breaking kerchief, as there was too much gold to go inte his the Bank. or Faulkner, touched by the old soldier's friendliness, Pannnnnmnnonnnn® asked him to drink with him and called for a bottle of champagne. They emptied two bottles and Faulkner was ordering a third when the soldier shook his head and said: “Coffee!” At this word, as though a signal had been given, all the house's other | patrons arose as one man and departed. Faulkner was too drunk to notice any significance in the move. Meanwhile the soldier was explaining that a | cup of black coffee was the best thing in the world to clear the brain. He | went out to the kitchen himscif and presently came baci: with two cups of it. | Faulkner ewallowed one cup of coffee at a single draught and straightway began to feel dizzy and faint. The soldier urged him not to go out tnto the streets in such a condition, but to accept a bed in the gambling house for the night. Faulkner assented and, the handkerchief full of gold gtill gripped in his hand, staggered into a bedroom to which the soldier and.a waiter led him. ! | He had just sense enough to lock the door and window and to nmake | sure no one was lurking in the room, Then he reeled across to the big four-post bed and collapsed on It. As he lay there, staring up at the heavy check eult (hat ia ne: taabion- able se belt can be hed at as, Those te Kid wit A blew ot whi canopy that waa etretched above the bed, his mind grew clearer. He veh to realize that the coffee had been drugged. But too much of the drug been put into it. Instead of sending the victim to gleep it made him wakeful. Presently, as Faulkner lay there, he fancied the bed canopy was not an high above him as it had been. He looked closer. Yes, the canopy was slowly and nolscieesly descending upon him. He had barely ¢ime to roll out of bed onto the floor, when down ewooped the canopy, pressing deep into the pillows and mattress, Fauikner looked in horror at the phenomenon.
