(Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate) I had never seen two angry men face each other, zo that the thrill whieh Swept over me as Arthur ap- proached the table was an altogether new sensation. I am ashamed as I write this that I shouid not have been 106 deeply humilated--to have noticed even their anger. Strange to say, at that time 1 felt no humil- ation whatever. I remember roaliz- ing vaguely that I was the ¢ause of this scene and of fearing that some- thing terrible was about to happen. But I felt no remorse. I was not even remotely sorry. 1 was merely intensely interested in what was happening. Slowly, and with my own eyes fixed first on Arthur and then on Dicky, I rose from my seat and stood dumbly waiting for what would transpire, One of the thoughts which came to me was that anger must affect men differently. This certainly was the case with Dicky and Arthur, That Arthur was furious I coutd readily see, but I also realized that he was gripping himself with an iron hand and that if any scene was pre- cipitated it would be by Dicky, and not by my husband. As Arthur, handsome and lithe of figure, ap- proached us there was something like a smile on his face. A stranger might have thought he had chanced © MGB. 8."

I} knew that I was mistress of the sit-| uation; that neither Arthur nor Dicky was in a mental condition to direct the present fate 6f us three; that if we were to be saved from making a spectacle of ourselves I must take a hand. "Dicky," 1 whispered hurriedly; "if you love me, sit down! I will never forgive you if you do not!" The words had a partial effect. His eyes wavered {rom Arthur's face and fluttered to mine. 1 threw all upon two acquaintances and was about to bid them a cordial greeting. But I knew better. The expression on Arthur's face indicated anything but pleasure. Indeed, as I studied | his features I felt that his soul was | torn with emotion, the effect of which would remain for many a day. And poor little Dicky? His anger was carrying him to the point where men commit nameless crimes. I realized all at omce how foolish I had been ever to have allpwed him to become intimate with me. 1 knew he believed the scandal dbout Arthur; that he considered me a mistreated woman; that he felt a chivalrous devotion to me, and at that moment that he was willing to lay down his life for me. The boy was wearing his soul as well as his heart on his sleeve, so that anyone who pleased might see and read their secrets. None of the self-con- trol of older men; none of the sub- tlety of mature wisdom; not even the caution of natural prudence came to his rescue. "Dicky, Dicky!" I eried in laying my hand gently on his But he brushed me away. "Good evening!" They were Arthur's fear, arm steel-like the passion of a lover into my voice as I continued: "Oh, pleage, my good name!" : Again he looked at me and his brow cleared. Slowly his hands un- clenched and his lips quivered. I could read love in his eyes as he dropped into his seat. Poor, dear boy! I could have hugged him! I turned to Arthur. He was stand- ing beside me, the same peculiar ex- pression about his lips. "Call the waiter and have him bring another chair," I told him. "Thank you," he replied evenly "It would please me very much to remain with you, but I have another appointment." He turned and start- ed away. "Arthur," I cried He hesitated a moment as if would return, but just then he attracted by the entrance of a small party at the other end of the long dining-room.

Captain Aug. Bibet, who has been serving in the French army since the beginning of the war, reached To- "| ronto recently to spend perhaps a month of the period he is invalided on account of the wounds he receiv- ed in action. He was twice in the casualty list. In one case a bullet passed through his chest, but though the injury was for the time disab- ling and very painful, it did not touch a vital point. His other wounds were in the legs. Before, he: was com- pletely recovered from the effects of the first injury, which he received in the Vosges, he left the hospital to take part in the fierce fighting in Champagne. He served for a time as an officer in the 44th French Infan- try, and then in the 23rd. He had the great distinction of receiving two greatly coveted decorations, that of the Legion of Honor and that of the War Cross with the Palm. These were sent to him by General Joffre when he was in the hosptial at Lons le saulniers. Captain Bibet has many friends in Toronto, where he lived for twelve years before the outbreak of the war, being for the last two years of that period 8 member of the university staff. He speaks in the warmest terms of the devoted spirit of the French people, of the resolution of the men in the fighting lines, and of the natural certainty of victory, everybody being ready to make what- ever sacrifices are required for the defence of their country. To his friend, Mr. Rochereau de la Sabliere, he expressed his regret to find that there are still in Toronto able-bodied Frenchmen of military age who have not answered their country's call, A Message From the Sea.

George Bernard Shaw has been de- claring that there is too much "snubbing of intelligence" during the war, and that the men with real brains are not given sufficient chance to distinguish themselves. It is not often that Mr. Shaw is worsted in an argument, but on one occasion at least he met his match, He was at a dinner perty when a young lady guest professed to be able to read character from writing. 'G. B. 8." scouted the idea. Now, it so happen- ed that their host had just got a typewriter, and Mr, Shaw remarked that here at least was one kind of writing that would reveal nothing of a person's character. The young lady stood by her guns and declared that she could even read character from | type as well as from handwriting, whereupon, the famous dramatist challenged her to try. Picking out his letters one by one on the machine, he wrote his name; but, as he was not used to handling a typewriter, when he had finished, ft read like this: "BERNARD shaw." "Your character is as plain as day," said the young lady triumph- antly. "It is your idea that, although there are a good many Shaws in the world, they are an undistinguished lot. But you think that you alone are Bernard and your name is great." Danger of St. Paul's. "The critical part of the work in connection with securing the safety of St. Paul's dome will be finished in a few weeks," said Canon Alex- ander, addressing the Workers' Edu- cation Association at St, Paul's Chapter House recently, "but whole work will take from ten fifteen years," The first part of the scheme, he said, consisted of the re- moval of inflammable material from tlie building, even to the floors and galleries. A great system of hydrants for extinguishing fire was carried right up to the dome, and electric pump they were now able to carry water right up to the top of any part of the building and right over the cross on top. For the first time in the history of St. Paul's they were now able to deal adequately with any outbreak of fire. Some people would be surprised to know that it was one of the most dangerous buildings in London. Now it had been made one of the safest. History dated the completion of the present cathedral at 1710, but it was a mistake, and was due, he thought, to Sir Christopher Wren's failing memory. The correct date was 1708 for in the cathedral there | were accounts of the original build- ing which stated that the last stone was placed on the lantern in October, 1708. They had recently had to ap- peal for £70,000, and about half the sum was still needed. Why They Laughed. Mr. Weedon Grossmith, the popu- lir comedian, tells a story of one of his early attempts to entertain. A friend of his, Mr. Walter Webb, who had a house in the country, had fitted up a large barn as a sort of theatre, and every now and then he gave entertainments there, to which | the neighboring rustics were invited. On one occasion Mr. Crossmith went down to give an entertainment. "The lauglter was so great when I was on the stage," Mr. Grossmith said, "that I became greatly ¢m- barrassed, as I could scarcely account for it. The laughter became so great that at last Mr. Webb rose and ad- dressed the audience. "I know," he said, "how difficult it is to restrain our mirth when Mr. Grossmith is on the stage, but if we don't check our laughter the per- formance won't be over till mid- night." A burly farmer replied, me, Muster Webb, it bain't Mr. Crossmith we be laughin' at, but someone have left the barn door open, an' all the pigs have got in, an' they be nigh pushin' of us off our seats!" "Excuse Outwitting a Bore. Like most celebrities, Lord Rose- bery has had to suffer a good deal from the attentions of utter strang- ers. At one time he was often annoy- ed by an old lady who called upon him almost daily. Of course, his Lordship always managed to avoid her when he was at home, but one day she happened to see him just as he was about to enter his carriage. "My lord," she called out, "I must see you on a very important matter," "Very well, madam," said Lord Rosebery, holding open the door of the carriage for her, "I beg of you to get in." Delighted at the idea of driving with such a famous man, the old lady immediately jumped into the vehicle, but his Lordship gently closed the door on her, and before she could remonstrate, heard him say to the coachman: "Take this lady wherever she wishes to go, James, and then home." Looking out of the window the now irate old lady saw her late vie- tim stepping into a cab. After that she did not worry Lord Rosebery again. she Baronies Revived.
