The | The Jarr Family © By Roy L. McCardell Coprright, 1919, by ‘The Press Publishing Co, Mr. Jarr Sees Trouble Ahead Through a Light- Headed Lady Crossing His Path, R. JARR heard the click of high] M heels behind him in the hi way of the apartment house that was his home in community. “Permit me!” he said gallantly, atep- ping on ahead of Mrs, Kittingly, the little blonde grass widow who lived In the apartments above, for he knew, without turning back to look, who those high heels clicked for. But as Mr, Jarr gallantly opened | the street door he gave one appre- hensive and agonized glance above| as they reached the street, but’ not seeing Mrs, Jarr at the window,| breathed a sigh of relief, “Oh!" Mrs, Kittingly emitted alittle | shriek as she stumbled in her short! vamp, high-heeled shoes, and, putting out her hand, held tight to him, “It's nice to have a big, strong man to hold one up,” she googled. ‘The sweat stood on Mr, Jarr's brow, although the day was not so hot. Gus, the ex-saloon-keeper, was looking over the acreen in his near-beer cafe window, He caught Mr, Jarr's eye and winked a stolid wink ere he re- turned to deal out 2.75 per cent, beer to his patrons, “rm going downtown to see my lawyer. My check should have been in the mail this morning,” satd Mrs, Kit- tingly. “It's my alimony, Mr, Jarr, for you know my sad story, Suppose that the fiend I married as a trusting girl —raised innocent of the world in Chi- cago—should have determined not to send it!” Mr, Jarr murmured woakly that such @ thing couldn't be, Just then they passed Bepler, the butcher's, Bepler was standing in the door talk- ing to Slavinsky, the glazier, A broad grin was on their faces and Slavinsky gave Bepler a nudge. ‘As Mrs, Kittingly and the self-con- scious husband of Mrs. Jarr got aboard a downtown car Mr, Jarr felt @ sense of impending doom, But he paid the conductor two fares and as- pisted the baby-stare blonde to a seat Mrs, Stryver, who #ad trailed them down the street and hurried in behind them, gave Mrs. Kittingly a curt nod and Mr, Jarr a still curter one, Johnson, Who worked in the same office with Mr, Jarr, got in a few blocks below, and, grinning broadly, length of these beds is said to be apout sixtyroeven miley, Il ia pro posed to build a light railway from. pretended not to see Mr, Jarr and his companion, "Did you see Mra, Rangle coming i) of the grocery store?” asked Mrs, ie se et (The New York Breniog World), us. Are you still good friends with those people?” “Why, yes, I believe 0,” Mr. Jarr, § “Well, I wouldn't say a word about anybody, but I think they are com- mon, vulgar people!” said Mrs, Kit- tingly. Mrs, Stryver, across the way, caught the last words and, thinking it & personal allusion, stared fixedly at Mr. Jarr as if to say: “So this is the way you carry on! Little does your poor wife know!” “I'm so glad to have a chance to talk to you,” ebattered Mrs. Kittingly, “Lam all alone in the world and have no one to confide in.” Then she poured forth all her troubles into Mr. Jarr’s ear, They principally concerned her personal pulchritude, the fiendish- ness of & man who sent her alimony but wouldn't pay her other bills and of how censorious the world at large was to young and beautiful women ail alone, nd the women are the worst!" | said Mrs, Kittingly, “They are a lot | of cats—that's what they are—cata!” Mr, Yarr muttered that some of them were pretty bad that way, but | he hardly knew what he was saying, | “It's the woman that pays!” cried Mrs, Kittingly. She had heard this in @ play and it stuck to her, “It’s the woman that pays! So I always feel glad when I read in the paper that some rich wretch loses heavy dam- ages in a breach of promiwe suit, And think of that creature I threw my life away on! I might have had & career but for him, and he posi- tively refuses to meet any of my ex- penses. Oh, it is the woman that pays, always the woman that pay: Mr. Jarr stirred uneasily. “I beg your pardon,” he replied. “Who did a woman ever pay, what did a woman ever pay? Does she pay the check, does she pay the rent, does she pay the alimony?” “Oh, I do not mean sordid payments in money!” vorcee, plaintively, “I mean the mis- understood woman pays in having to be the object of calumny, of eneers, | of censure, of accusations! Do men| pay in bitternesses like these? Have they to be circumspect, to avoid even the most innocent, unconventional action that may be misunderstood ?* _ “They do, they do!” groaned Mr, Jarr, And he thought with sinking! heart of how Mrs, Jarr would take it when she was Lold—accidentally, of mmered DASHING young Polish erile—Thaddeus came to Paris when he was driven from his native land, i@ 1776. There formed @ friendship for Dr, Bem jamin Franklin, who was our representative tn ‘Frame during the American Revolution. Hearing that Kone usko had been an artillery captain before his exfle, Franklin gave the wanderer a letter to Gen, Washingtiis and sent him over here to join the American Army, Kosctusko’s heroism during our fight for liberty ts too well remembered to need repetition. He fought gab lantly for us and rose to the rank of Major General, He ‘Made good. He was loved and honoted by all true Americans. He might have had a prosperous and happ¥@future here, But he was not content, He had helped us win our freedom. And he resolved to do as muck for his own country. It was thus that he planned to make good—inatead of resting comfortably on his latirels.. Poland had for many years been the prey of stronger nations, sudires Prussia, Austria end Russia, which had torn away from it many of its riche est provinces and had partitioned these among them- selves, The once powerful country was at its last gasp, Kosciusko went back to Poland, and there he strove to rouse his fellow Poles to the striking of a blow S pemeeaenaamamad j Poland Long against their tyrants. By dint of his genius and hery eloquence he stirred the Poles to a widespread revolt, He reorganized their run-down “army and he drew up a Constitution whereby the former rights of Poland were to be restored to it. His com< Datriats made him Dictator of Poland and they flocked to his standard. The Russian Government planned to crush the revolution at one blow. Russia invaded Poland with several strong armies, Kosciusko defeated these armies one after another with his own little force, and he chased them out of Poland. He had made good. He had saved his country. For the moment Poland was free and was awake to the joys of liberty, and the glory was due to Thaddeus Kosctusko, He had cleared his land of the most dangerous of its foes, He had driven the hated Russians headlong across the frontier. He had overcome armies four times the size of his own. He had put dying Poland on its feet again and had breathed new life into it. All the civilized world acclaimed his greatness. The principles of liberty which he had imbibed in America he was put~ ting into effect at home. Few men have made good in so glorious a fashion with such odds against them. But no one man's strength could have saved the doomed country from : such mighty foes as now massed themselves against it Prussia and Austria rushed to the aid of defeated Rus- Patriots Fea} sia, They could not afford to have their fellow-bully Like Wildoats ¢ thrashed by so insignificant'a foe. eee Moreover, by intervening then they could readily find excuse for demanding another “partition” of Po- land—a dividing up of the spoils of victory in such fashion as to cut the hapless nation to pieces. They rallied to Russia's aid. “fie ‘The men and the resources and the wealth of Prussia and Austria and Russia were called upon for a wholesale triple invasion. Innumetable troops were hurled into Poland. Kosciusko, with his handful of patriots, fought like a wildcat to stem the tidal wave of invasion. In battle after battle they contested every inch of sround with foes who outnumbered’ them many times over. But the odds were too great even for Kosciusko, His hero anny was af last beaten to its knees. He himself was wounded and taken prisoner, Yet to the last he had made good—as must every man who wages @ fearless fight against evil and who refuses to confess himself beaten, ee The Gay Lifeof aCommuter Or Trailing the Bunch From Paradise Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New Tork Evening World), By Rube.
