It may be related to the word cod, meaning "a fool." Some people try to explain that word by saying It is an abbreviation for codger, as it seems to be used in some instances. But, it appears in our literature earlier than codger, so this relationship is doubtful. No 01te can give any accurate information abovt its origin.--Literary Digest. W bTlfeClq^jj^ivgtiwMr^Smdlcat*.) THE thing tJmt broke Peter barbell's splrtt was a ringing blow across thS right cheek, administered to within full view of a crowded hack-stage, by an extravaganza queen then in the full glory of her monarchists reign. As doorkeeper and general guardian of the constant runnel of traffic of one sort or anotlier through the small office that led to tba Wings of the theater, Peter consumed a one-headed cerbems who ImM guard against claimants for ^/Attention of the high-handed nra^eu,comedy despot of the moment, Hll^rVaypay. A riot of cOteffjil naughtinesses, temperamental otifwttrsts, generosities, tempers, affabilities and nonsense of a brand that had captivated Broadway, to be in her tfoupe or associated In any way with her Jt> the theater, was to be victim of her despotisms as well as recipient of her repentant favors. Those who played with her, however, feared her more than they loved her, and It could not be said, even In the Indulgent mood of wildest charity, that Hilda was kind to the lesfcer people about her. Impressed by greatness, she was capable of paying constant homage to those whose professional- rank towered above hers. little people she despised because, apparently, to be able to express her contempt emphasised her sense of power. Thus It happened that on a spring morning during a rehearsal, Peter, admitting to the wings a young man whom he had been instructed by the great Taypay never to deny admission, found hlmselX suddenly the public victim of her great 6r$tk. v . "How dare yon/' she screamed at Peter, hurling a distaff which she bad been carrying in dance number at him--"how dare you admit that swine to my presence? I never want to see him again !" and there In the full view of the assembled company, swung out an arm, full widtb, and let her hand bang resoundingly against the young doorkeeper's cheek. It was one of those,events that can come to a sleeper during nightmare; It was public humiliation of a sort that can cause the throa^t to close and the eyes to flash into blindness. There, in the presence of at leA^t'"'••sixty people, many of the stage hands his personal friends, a woman, without the slightest just provocation, had slapped him in the face., /. For an .inatantyh!* impulse had been to leap at h^r 'and crush his fingers Into her ornamental throat, but that Impulse died almost as it was born. Aside from the Impregnable solidity of her throne, and the power of her slightest word, there was only further indignity and > Jhamlliatlon and self-abasement to be*pi|ined by letting go of his wrath. Peter Tarbell, the? thirty, well salaried, ambitious, eager for advancement, turned without a word on his heel and walked out,, while to the strain of the Interrupted melody, extravaganza's darling, prancing distaff In hand, resumed relttarsal of the dance number she had been practicing. There were fifty 'dbtl&rs for a half month's wages due Peter, which he never claimed. Thiers were personal objects, books, m»m#11 baggage lying kWuS. Ihfe office which he never returned to collect Tbfe one idea was to get away securely, permanently, quickly from the scene of his humiliation, to forget, if Masible, the fiendish onslaught agaldVv ^is dignity and his peace of mind.* ' The theater and everything pertaining to it became anathema to the quiet-faced, unobtrusive young man, who from that day, for many a year to come, was to carry the sting from a woman's hand across his face and heart, and whose fingers, throughout the years, were to itch to throttle the white neck of Hilda Taypay. It is, of course, difficult to hypothecate what would have been the destiny of Peter Tarbell had he remained In the atmosphere of the theater. It la, however, fair to assume he had been on the way to higher position, since his rise had been Bteady from call-boy to general manager of affairs of rear stage. V., Be that as it may, from the day Peter walked out, his destiny fell along lesser lines. At forty he was superintendent of a huge apartment house on the residential tipper west side of New York. Eleven men worked under him, electricians, janitors, elevator boyit and furnace-room men, bu£ in reality, Peter's position, while the salary was practically that of the stage-door regime, was little above that of a managing Janitor. His jobs were chiefly menial chores. Locks to be repaired on apartment doors; foyers and elevators to be kept in show state; vacant apartments to be shown to prospective tenants and altercations of one sort or another to be adjusted between his help. There were compensations, of course. He had married, meanwhile, a quiet, enormously strong and quite personable girl who had been employed as housemaid in one of the apartments of the building In which & Mystics Mad* Useful The great mystics of the Mlddfcates were men and women of action. Even the rare surviving anchorites were forced to justify their existence by performing social duties--stationing thesKselves near ferries or bridges or la pathles® «"><• remote vaHeys to offer help and hospitality to the chance wayfarer. WI&vflB « the Crastttted. Mrs* Tesaa would never ^AMt m* ffl*apt»o!atmoBt. At fifty, Tessa, with one of those quick corrosive changes which can sometimes attack the strong, began to succumb to a cruel form of rheoma- Hsni which knotted her joints so that Wlthfn a period of two years She became practically bed-ridden. It waa terrible to be forced to behold* the slow disintegration of the magnificent body that had been Tessa's, and with the physical, there began slowly and Surely to sink into desuetude the mental. A companionable, sweet-natured and helpful woman began to slump into a querulous, bed-ridden Invalid, half frantic most of the time with pain; intolerant of it, all of the time. Poor Peter! The spectacle of Tessa, slipping Into her invalidism was one which he could only watch with a sense of helpless despair. More and more, her predicament became a drain upon his time and energies. At fifty-five he had lost the position of superintendent over the large upper west side apartment house, and on smaller pay, and in quarters much more cramped, was presiding over the tawdry destinies of a six-story tenement house on the lower east side. This time his living quarters were two rooms below the level of the sidewalk, and his monthly stipend less than half of what it had been in the larger building. And yet in some ways life was easier. The little apartment he shared with the now completely bedridden Tessa, meant fewer hours to devote to the chores of keeping the household moving. And yet, there was shout the eavi- r' ronment of this house something so depressing that It seemed to Peter, struggling always with the problem of keeping afloat the sinking spirits of Tessa, as if the rows of days were simply too drab to face. It was not alone his own plight, but day after day there marched before his troubled eyes the woes of the poverty-stricken, the lame, the halt, the blind, who dwelt around them. Evictions, for reasons of poverty or sickness, were not unusual In the house where he acted in the capacity of janltor-of-allwork. Usually this unsavory task fell to him. It waa a grim, bitter Job, this business of being jafiitor to the poverty-; stricken families of the building. Sickness lurked under that roof, crime, grime and sometimes even hunger. One old woman, as a matter of fact, had been found dead in her rear apartment of a simple complaint easily diagnosed. Hunger. Little wonder that Tessa, who had always been sensitive to pain of others, lay there not only drenched In her own misery, but seeming to feel, with the antennae of her intuition, the poverty, that lay everywhere around her. Babies cried in the tenements at night. Late unsteady footsteps lurched upstairs. Women in labor pains cried out in the agony of bringing more life Into these lusterless homes. From time to time there sped In horror through the dank and narrow house news of a child run over by a truck; the wage-earning head of a household falling from a scaffolding; the sod of a household turning^fangsler and facing the death house-- Lean mean/years filled with terror of one sorr of another, but through it all Peter and Tessa clinging fast to the murky nest of the two rear rooms they called home and as time moved on Peter becoming more and more obsessed with the fear of losing his job through having to give more and more time to the task fef tending Tessa. The night that he found a ruin of a woman propped up against the door as he was about to enter his apartment proved a memorable one. She was a gin-fogged creature with deep ruts of suffering and dissipation down the still white flesh of her face. A wreck' of a woman with a strange suggestion of splendor left to her. It was while he was picking her up to carry her out to the curb and turn her over to the mercies of the corner ^policeman, that recognition came to Peter. Recognition, and a flash of anger so blinding that it seemed to him for a moment that here, now nothing' could prevent his digging talons into the throat of the creature before him. Pent up In him, all through the years, were passions about to be released. Here in his arms a derelict, a remnant, a skeleton of comic opera, was the object of his lifetime of hatred. . . . Somehow again, once more, it did not work out that way. Peter's talons did not sink in to blemish that last remnant of the beauty of Hilda's, throat. He has given her roof, and in her befogged way she knows that a janitor, whom at heart she despises for being a menial has come to her succor. There are two women for Peter to tend now. The helpless Tessa and the curious temperamental derelict whom they have taken Into their home. Sometimes she sings and creates the furore of cracked melody and pitiful dance In the little tenement they all share together. Sometimes she rises In. wrath and strikes the old Janitor whose humble lot die shares. oil burner in America!
