She led the war through the door opening out of the hall to the right, and, once Inside, he stood awkwardly rooted to the floor, gazing about him and at her and all the time trying not to gaze. In his perturbation he failed to bear and see her Invitation to a eat "Won't you sit down?" she repeated. "Look here," he said. In a voice that shook with passion, "there's one thing I won't do, and that's propose to you In the office. That's why I'm here. Dede Mason, I want you, I Just want you." So precipitate was he, that she had barely time to cry out ber lnvolun tary alarm and to step back, at the same time catching one of his hands as he attempted to gather her Into his arms. "Oh, I know I'm a sure enough fool," he said. "I I guess I'll sit down. Don't be scalrt. Miss Mason. I'm not real dangerous." "I'm not afraid," she answered, with a smile, slipping down herself Into a chair. "It's funny," Daylight sighed, almost with regret: "here I am, strong enough to bend you around and tie knots In you. Here I am, used to hav ing my will with man, beast or any thing. And here I am sitting in this chair, as weak and helpless as a little lamb. Tou sure take the starch out of me." "I I wish you hadn't asked," she said softly. "Mebbe It's best you should know a few things before you give me an an swer," be went on, Ignoring the fact that the answer bad already been given. "I never went after a woman before In my life, all reports to the 9 MM ' - ' ' . Jl His Arms Went About Her and Held Her Closely. contrary notwithstanding. The stuff . you read about me in the papers and books, about me being a lady-killer, is all wrong. ' There s not an lota of truth la It I guess I've done more than my share of card-playing and whisky-drinking, but women I've let - alone. There was a woman that killed herself, but I didn't know she wanted . me that bad or else I'd have married her not for love, but to keep her from killing herself.' She was the ; best of the boiling, but 1 never gave her any encouragement I'm telling you all this because you've read about 1t and I want you to get It straight from me." "I cant marry you." she said. ,"1 like you a great deal, but-" He waited a moment for her to com plete the sentence, falling which, be -went on himself. . .v., "I havent an exaggerated opinion of myself, so I know I ain't bragging when I say Til make a pretty. good husband. Tou could follow your own sweet will, and nothing would be too good for you. I'd give you everything your heart desired 1 . "Except yourself," she Interrupted s" " n!y, s'most sharply.'

"That's one too many for me. The more you know and like a man the less you want to marry him. Famili arity breeds contempt I guess that's what you mean." - "No, no," she cried, but before she could continue, a knock came on the door. His eyes, quick with observation like an Indian's, darted about the room while she was out The Impres sion of warmth and comfort and beau ty predominated, though he was un able to analyze it; while the simplici ty delighted htm expensive simplici ty, be decided, and most of it left overs from the time her father went broke and died. She re-entered the room, and as she crossed It to her chair, he admired the way she walked, while the bronze suppers were maaaening. I'd like to ask you several ques tions," he began Immediately. "Are you thinking of marrying somebody else?" There isn't anybody else. I don't know anybody I like well enough to marry. For that matter, I don't think I am a marrying woman. Office work seems to spoil me for that." It strikes me that you're the most marrylngpst woman that ever made a man sit up and take notice. And now another question. Tou see, I've just got to locate the lay of the land. Is there anybody you like as much as you like me?" But Dede had herself well in band. "That's unfair," she said. "And If you stop and consider, you will find that you are doing the very thing you disclaimed namely, nagging. I refuse to answer any more of your questions. Let us talk about other things. How Is Bob?" Half an hour later, whirling along through the rain on Telegraph Ave nue toward Oakland, Daylight smoked one of his brown-paper cigarettes and reviewed what bad taken place. It was not at all bad, was bis summing up, though there was much about It that was baffling. Tbere was that liking him the more she knew him and at the same time wanting to marry him less. That was a puzzler. Once again, on a rainy Sunday, weeks afterward. Daylight proposed to Dede. As on the first time, he re strained himself until bis hunger for her overwhelmed him and swept him away in his red automobile to Berke ley. He left the machine several blocks away and proceeded to the house on foot But Dede was out, the landlady's daughter told him, and added, on second thought that she was walking in the bills. Further more, the young lady directed him where Dcde's walk was most likely to extend. Daylight obeyed the girl's in structions, and soon the street he fol lowed passed the last bouse and Itself ceased where began the first steep slopes of the open hills. The air was damp with the on-coming of rain, for the storm had not yet burst though the rising wind proclaimed its Im minence. As far as he could see, there was no sign of Dede on the smooth, grassy hills. To the right dipping down into a hollow and rising again, was a large, full-grown eucalyp tus grove. Here all was noise and movement the lofty, slender-trunked trees swaying back and forth in the wind and clashing their branches to gether. In the squalls, above all the minor noises of creaking and groan ing, arose a deep thrumming note as of a mighty barp. Knowing Dede as he did, Daylight was confident that he would find her somewhere in this grove where the storm effects were so pronounced. And find her he did, across the hollow and on the exposed crest of the opposing slope where the gale smote Its fiercest blows. "It's the same old thing," he said. "I want you and I've come for you. Tou've Just got to have me, Dede, for the more I think about It the more certain I am that you've got a sneak ing liking for me that's something more than Just ordinary liking. .And you don't dast say that it Isn't: now dast you?" Please, please," she begged. "We can never marry, so don't let us dis cuss ft" uayugm ueciaea mat action was more efficient than speech. So he stepped between her and the wind and drew her so that she stood close in the shelter of him. An unusually stiff squall blew about them and I , ' 1 : : : : t i i n l J (Conducted by the National Woman! ;. Christian Temperance Union.) , LESS DRINKING BY SOLDIERS British Generals Agree That the Best Fighting Is Done by Soldiers .' Who are Abstainers. The changes that a century ha Wrought in respect to the use of strong liquor were illustrated during the re cent meeting here of the Royal Army Temperance- association, which now bas 67,433 members, of whom 38,406 are In the Indian army, says a London correspondent of the New Tork Sun. According to the figures presented there are now 28,380 total abstainers in the British army and 2.796 in the temperance section, fear! Roberts said a great change bad come over the mor tality of the army In India since the) days when It was the custom to pro vide every soldier with "a tot of ar rack" every morning. Earl Curzon recalled that In 1812, when the peninsular war was In prog ress, the duke of Wellington's force was "a drinking If not a drunken army." The idea then was that the hard drinking man was the best fight ing man and there was a direct ratio between whisky consumed and cour age displayed. The duke himself while extolling the bravery of his men de plored their drunkenness and social vices. Nowadays all recognize that the old Idea was a ludicrous fallacy. Every general who had commanded troops in the last quarter of a century would say that the best marching army and the best fighting army was a sober army. Jl fa "SJii r ijrrv:- n Tr i ,n v v c CONSUMERS WALKED IN REAR "Dede Mason, I Want You, I Just Want You.' thrummed overhead in the tree-tops, and both paused to listen. A shower of flying leaves enveloped them, and bard on the heel of the wind came driving drops of rain. He looked down on her and on her hair, wind-blown about her face; and because of her closeness to him and of a fresher and more poignant realization ol what she meant to him. he trembled so that she was aware of it In the hand that held hers. She suddenly leaned against him, bowing her head until it rested lightly upon his breast And so they stood while another squall, with flying leaves and scattered drops of rain, rattled past With equal suddenness she lifted her bead and looked at him. "Do you know," she said, "I prayed last night about you. I prayed that you would fall, that you would lose everythingeverything." Daylight stared bis amazement at this cryptic utterance. 'That sure beats me. I always said I got out of my depth with women. and you've got me out of my depth now. Well, you've Just got to ex plain, thaTs all." Hla arms went around her and held ber closely, and this time she did not resist Her head was bowed, and he could not see her face, yet be bad a premonition that she was crying. He bad learned the virtue of silence, and he waited her will In the matter. Things bad come to such a pass that she was bound to tell him something now. Of that be was confident "I would dearly like to marry you." she faltered, "but I am afraid. I am proud and bumble at the same time that a man like you should care for me. But you have too much money. There's where my abominable com mon sense steps in. Even. if we did marry, you Could never be my man my lover and my husband. Ton would be your money's man. I know I am a foolish woman,' but I want my man for - myself. And your money destroys you; It makes you less and less nice. I am not ashamed to say that I love you, because I shall never marry you.. And I loved you much when I did not know you at all, when you first came down from Alas ka and I first went into the office. Ton were my hero. Tou were the Burning Daylight of the gold-diggings, the dar ing traveler and miner. ' And you looked it I dont see how any wom an could have looked at you without loving you then. ;. Bu yon don't look it now. Tou, a man of the open, have been cooping yourself up in the cities Tim Sullivan's Land Tatf Big Politician Has Scheme to Reduce Congestion In New York Tsne ' merit Districts. A Big Tim Sullivan has been looking about a bit in his Bowery kingdom, and as a consequence the brainiest man in Tammany has hammered out a land tax system, which he be lieves will reduce the congestion in the tenement districts, a New Tork correspondent of ' the Cincinnati Times-Star writes. "People in my district sleep three and four to the room," said he, "and many of the rooms have never had a ray of sun light In them. They have to live that way because the rent is so high. The tenement owner who is willing to tear down his old building' and put up a new one, with sunlight in every window and a bath In every flat, is afraid to do so. because be knows that his taxes would go skallyhooting up. The poor devils who rent his flats would in the end pay for that Ngher rate of taxation. Every eighth child born in Kew Tork city dies be- cause Its mother has to go to work or starve. At the same time there are 40,000 acres of good land lying Idle within the city limits." ' Therefore Sullivan has a plan to cnt the taxes on improved real estate, and Increase the taxes on vacant prop erty. He figures that owners would have either to build on their land which would relieve the downtown congestion or go to " farming H, which would indirectly have the same effect "A watch dog on a farm lives better than many of : my constitu ents," he declares, "and yet after an experience of a lifetime down there, I have yet to find the equal of the families on the streets near the Bowery for industry and economy and courage. Maybe my land tax plan is Bowery political economy, as has been charged. I like It all the better for that fact The Bowery has bad to put np with Fifth avenue political economy for a good while."

Tour money and your way of llf are doing it Tou know it Tou haven't the same body now that you had then. Tou are putting on flesh, and It is not healthy flesh.

I might have half of you, at any rate. But this business would claim, not half of you, but nine-tenths of you, or ninety-nine hundredths. Tou hold back nothing; you put all you've got Into whatever you are doing " Limit is the sky," he grunted grim affirmation. But If you would only play the lover-husband that way. And now 1 won't say another word," she added. 'I've delivered a whole sermon." She rested now, frankly and fairly. In the shelter of his arms, and both were oblivious to the gale that rushed past them In quicker and stronger blasts. The big downpour of rain had not yet come, but the mist-like squalls were more frequent Daylight was openly perplexed, and he was still per plexed when be began to speak. "You've left me no argument I know I'm not the same man that came from Alaska. I couldn't hit the trail with the dogs as I did In them days. I'm soft in my muscles, and my mind's gone bard. I used to respect men. 1 despise them now. Tou see, I spent all my life In the open, and I reckon I'm an open-air man. Why, I've got the prettiest little ranch you ever laid eyes on up In Olen Ellen.

I only laid eyes on the ranch that one time, and I so fell In love with it that I bought It there and then, t Just rode around the hills, and was bappy as a kid out of school. I'd be a better man living in the coun try. The city doeant make me better. Tou're plumb right there. I know It But suppose your prayer should be answered and I'd go clean broke and have to work for day's wages? Sup pose I had nothing left but that little ranch, and was satisfied to grow a few chickens and scratch a living some howwould you marry me then, Deder v.. : .' v:": "Why. we'd be together all the timel" she cried. " ' ' ' S; ' Then was the moment among the trees, ere they began the descent of the hill, that Daylight might have drawn ber closely to him and kissed her once. But he was too perplexed with the new thoughts she had put Into hla head to take advantage of the situation. - Ho merely caught her by the arm and helped her over the rougher footing. At the edge of the grove he suggested that It might be better tor them to part there, but she Insisted that he accompany ber as tar as the house. "Do you know," ha said, "taking It by and large, it's the happiest day of my Ufa. Dede, Dede, we've just got to get married. It's the only way. and trust to luck tor it's coming out all right" , . But the tears Were threatening to Liquor Men's Parade Is Headed by Wholesalers on Horses and Die. tillers In Carriages. Two old pals met on the street "I saw you in the liquor men's pa rade, Tuesday," said one of them. "Oh, yes." ( "Now you tell me about It. Who were those fellows In front on horses?" "Why they were the wholesalers." "Well, who were those fellows In carriages the fellows In plug hats, smoking big black cigars?" "They were the distillers and brew ers." "Who were those men walking the ones with white plug bats, white coats and gold-beaded canes?" 'They were the retailers." "Who were those fellows that brought up in the rear?" HERRIES are ripe on the farm where George Washington passed his boyhood, where be cut down the cherry . tree, broke the neck of the untamed colt and threw a silver dollar across the river so run the olden stories perpetuated by the venerable Parson Weems. This farm Is on the Rappa hannock river, opposite the colonial town of Fredericksburg, Va. The farm Is In Stafford county, the town Is Spottsylvania. The farm Is much re duced In size, but that which Is still called the Washington farm contains 160 acres, surrounding the site of the old Washington dwelling house, on the foundation of which has been built the house shown in the picture. People who live roundabout will point out where the historic cherry tree stood and assure one that the present cher ry trees are descended from the trees that grew there when Washington was a child. They will point out the pas ture where the unruly colt wss killed and the spot where young Washington hurled the coin across the river. Though these feats are apochryphal, yet each was easily possible. Many a child has hacked a cherished tree or shrub. Many a colt has been maimed or killed In breaking. A good base ball thrower could send the sphere across the Rappahannock at that point, though the river is somewhat narrower now than It was then. Record Incomplete. Because of the Incompleteness of the land records of Stafford county, there Is no continuity of title of this land from the time the Washlngtons bought it There is a proposition that this farm be taken over by one of the ancestral patriotic societies. It was not long after Washington's birth, on the Pope's Creek farm on the '. Po tomao river In Westmoreland county, Virginia, that Washington's parents, his elder half-brother Lawrence, and was with?" "Tea." "Oh, they were Denver Post the customers."

' The Rap pahannock farm had for several years been owned by Augustine Washington (the father) and being close to a city, while his other holdings were distant from one. It is Judged that the Wash lngtons wished a taste of urban life. This farm has been called variously "Pine Grove" and the "Ferry Farm," the latter name being due to the farm being opposite the lower Fredericks burg ferry. Whether George Washing ton knew this place as Pine Grove is questionable. In this connection it is worth recalling that George Washing ton never knew his birthplace as Wakefield, yet all the books set It down that he was born at Wakefield. George Washington's father died April 12, 1743, leaving large landed possessions. The old home farm on the lower oPtomae he bequeathed to his eldest son Augustine. To his son Lawrence be left the farm on the Po tomac between Dogue creek and Hunt ing creek, which Lawrence subse quently called Mount Vernon. To George, when be should become of age, be bequeathed the Rappahannock farm. : Of this Fredericksburg farm Washington Irving, who visited all the Washington places in Virginia, says: - Meadow Hla riayground. . "Not long after the birth of George his father removed to an estate In Stafford county. The house was sim ilar In style to the one on Bridge's Creek (or Pope's creek), and stood on rising ground overlooking - a meadow which -was his playground and the scenes of his early athletic sports. But this home, like that In which be was born, has disappeared; the site is only to be traced by fragments of bricks, china and earthenware." . . .. . - This house was occupied by Mary Washington until it was destroyed by fire at' a : time after George had change his plaoe of living to his half-brother's home. Mount Vernon. After the fire Mrs. Washington moved Into a small frame cottage in Fred ericksburg, In which v she ' died ; on August 26, 1789.

Their only remedy, one Imagines, is to give up acting. The lecturer quoted also gives "twitching of the eye and feverish palsy of the hands" as being among the results of stage fright - . , At the dress rehearsal of a play by Sardou an actress "violently scratched the hands of the actor with whom she v was playing, saying, 'How nervous I feel.'" . . , .
