"Have you no spirit, mother?" She began to pace the floor excitedly. "Would yon be treated as a nobody--you, the wife of Thomas P. Halloway?( Consider your position." Mrs. Halloway doubtless considered her position.

Her mother's voice startled her, "Belle, here is Mr. Parker, but remember'-- Mrs. Halloway's voice trailed off into a deprecating silence, Miss Halloway straightened up in her chair with the laudable pride of a judge ubout to cou- fer sentence, "Mr. Parker," she said impressively, "1 have called you here to complain of the treatment to which we have been subjected by this hotel" She began deliberately enough, but the words Soon tumbled over each other in her veliemence. "How dare you," she ¢fied--*"how dare you put us into this stully back room, an eight dollar a day room, whén we have always been ac- customed to an eighteen dollar suit? Do you know who are--the Hallo. cisco, ways of Chicago? 1s not our money as good as or better than other peo- ples?' The clerk remained silent. And now for the first time Miss Holloway look- ed up--far up--and encountered the se- rene gaze of his brown eyes. Mr, Parker, the clerk, was tall--un- usually tall. But it was not merely his inches which gave authority of bear- Ing; it was dis self confidence, his mental poise. Intuitively Miss Hallo way of Chicago realized that here was a man who would always be the mas- ter of circumstances, no matter how adverse the contrivings of fate. Her Judicial complacency vapished, and shame, hot cheeked and defiant, stood as a culprit at the bar, for a twinkle lurked in the cool depths of the brown eyes as he said easily: "1 can agree with you, Miss Hallo way of Chicago, but only In part.

Many records exist of the way in which rival stags have met their death when fighting for supremacy. Proba bly none is more strange than that de scribed by Herr ©. Dratbmore of Char lottenburg in the Deutsche Jager-Zel- tung. In 1908 the keepers on the Gel bensand shooting in Mecklenburg Schwerin found a fine twelve polnter lying dead, apparently from antler thrusts and with both beams close to gether, Not far off was a smaller stag, a ten pointer, still living, but as its back was broken it was put out of its thisery. On examination it was found that the antlers of the larger stag were torn out of the skull and the frontal boner was broken. The back of the smaller stag must have been broken in the struggle.
