édéiiiececiceceeeeeeeee Sara’s Employer o ' By PHILIP ORTH

From the very first Gladwin had to admit to himself that Sara was perfect of her kind. She had come to him at a time when he was sadly in need of her assistance. His own stenographer had fallen ill and had gone away to a rest cure; it was the time of ,the year when business was heavy and experienced help hard to find. © Gladwin ‘in despair -was just steeling his_mind- to choose between two doubtfiil young persons whom a popular'employvment agency had sent to him when Sara appeared. She had been filling.a position, temporarily, in the absencei of a regular stenographer. That regular stenographer had returned and she .was out of employment. The man in whose office she had worked, having some |sdquaintance with Gladwin and kaowing his need, had sent her to him. And Gladwin hired her at once, with a secure feeling -of relief that he had not been forced from necessity to employ a makeshift. 2 ik

Sara told him that-her former posi- | tion had been her first, but for A% that she did not seem to lack experience. She was . alert, obedient, dainty—and vet business-like in all her snethods. Her work was always done on timel and with exquisite precision. She 'did | not ask- questions. She°did not leave things lying about. She always hit the waste-paper basket when she abmed for it. She did hot bother Gladwin about useless details; indeed, she rarely spoke to him at all unless she was first spoken to. }on; manngr was at-‘ tractive. It was reserved, dignified, ‘calm. She was never in a hnrry,'nev-' ‘er anything but at-ease. She came at | the strokKe of the hour and departed likewise. 'She wasted nd time that was not her owa. . Sl After a time Gladwin.got beyond her manner and began to notice: the .g;irl. She wore black—perfectly fitting, per: > @&y - o n i \‘;‘// 1 ;»l% j “:J/l:’i t_ _.—»,,. 1 YL ; A & Jo A ¥ Al (VLS & ' 3 f'/ f \ / Vol : i~ ‘ | ;&; | | 4 i U ? | § = ik L. __.an e — Y S Gladwin Stared at Iffler_ln Amazement. ‘ fectly tailored black, not always the same in style, but dlways the same in simplicity, The bits of white at her throat and wrists were always snowy; she exhibited no jeweglry; . her hair was always perfectly sr"pooth. She was rathor" a plain girl, but her plainness was of the kind that lessens with acquaintance. One had 'to see Sara many times before ohe was aware that her mouth was ‘sweet and that her skin was good in spite of its pallor. | Good breeding breathed from her as constaptly and unobtrusively as did.l the fragrance of her subtle perfume. She had nothing to say about herself and after six. months spent in daily contact with her, Gladwin knew no more about her than he had Rnown. the first morning she entered his office. Her complete unconsciousness of | him in any other capacity than tgkt‘ of her employer piqued his curiosity® Gladwin was a - good-looking ‘man, who' dressed well and had plenty of wit. The fewswomen he knew. had al ways made much of him. Two or three of -them, he felt vaguely, wanted to marry him, but not one of them was the sort- of woman he cared to link hig life with. To tell the truth,: Gladwin had given so.little time to the thought of women that he did not know the kind he preferred, but it came to him one day as he sat watching Sara at work that she pleased him better than any woman he had ever seen. S = It was a light morning—no one could call it sunny, for sunshine never penetrated the windows of that particular office building, shut in as it was by larger structures—and Sara’s ,hair' showed more satiny ‘than ever, her cheek ﬁner‘ﬁ Jiexture. ‘her dress more immaculatei® . A little sigh'Zof sudden. longing caught in Glad¥in’s throat and he stumbled in hissdictation. That was the beginnihg of his falling in love with her. It was curious, too, for he had never dreamed that he would want to gxxarry any stenographer in his employ, He had heard of such things being done and he did not approve of them. But Sara distinctly was not the ordinary type of office girl. Gladwin made up his mind that he would speak to her. But first he wanted to make a little bigger pile before he took it upon himself to support a wife - ) : “Do you think,” he asked her one day, “that two persons can live decently in this town on $1,500 a year?” " Bara seemed to hesftate a mament before she answered quietly: “I have heard that there are people who live ‘on very much less and yet manage to be comfortable.”. i * Gladwin said nothing more. But the next day he asked the same question of a friend.who had recen}t.la( ‘become ‘engaged. = | _ “Fifteen hundred a year?” More laughed. “Why, man alive, that ‘wouldn’t buy provisions, te say nothing of paying for house rent and cab hife and theater tickets and clothes.” ‘He tripped merrily over ithe list at ‘the cunclusion ofwhia\ ~ Gladwin looked quite downcast. -More caught e SO R e Ly S ee b e

bim by the shoulder. “Thinking of it seriously—are you, old man?” | “No—oh, no,” Gladwin shook his head. “No, indeed.” But he was. | It'was soon after .that that Gladwin began to speculate in stocks. A few trifling” things came his way and he thought he had found an easier road to making money than grinding out the law at so much a case, He be gan to study the papers more and his law books less. Two or three times Sara had to remind him of things he had left undone. \

Gladwin gradually became ab sorbed, a little preoccupied )of manner.” 'He somatimes caught Sara looking at him bewilderedly. One day he suddenly became buoyant, dlmost gay.

He whistled softly, he even tried tc sing—he who could not. produce twe consecutive notes harmoniouféTS’. That morning N. K. & Y. had gone up four points and there was ewvery indica-

tign that it would rise still higher. Two or three times that day he was on the point of telling Sara about his success and asking her to share it; then tho thought came: “No, I'll wait a little. There's time enough.”

Alas! Two days later when Sara came in after lunch she found Gladwin doubled up across his desk. He looked like either a dead man or a very sick one. She ‘went to him and shook him by the shoulder. “Mr. Gladwin!” O : |

- He looked up at -her. His face was one “rigid pallor: “Sara,” he said, dully, “I've played the fook 1 bought more N. K. & Y., and it's going down —down—" He gulped. “I'm ruined!” Ske took her hand from his shoulder. She did not seem surprised. “How bad is it?" she demanded.

" He drew paper ahd pencil toward him and began-to figure. She looked on thoughtfully. il “Pretty bad, isn’t it?” he queried. . _ “Yes, it's pretty bad.” . ’

“And the worst of it is,” Gladwin went on, recklessly piling up his tribulation, “I've neglected -my business lately till it has fallen off. | No, that fsn't the worst. The worst is that—that 1 had something to say to you which I can never say now. In the hope of being ablé to say it I ‘went int£ this deal—you .understand?” Her face burst info joy as with flame. - Her hand: went to his shoulder again. “Yes, I understand now. But I didn’t before. I thought you were doing it for—somebody else. You see, I suspected what you were up to.” ‘She spoke breathlessly. “If only you had told me!” : : “Too late now, Sara.” : ““No, it isn't too late. Nothing 1s ever too late. Tell me now.” " And she made him tell her, As’she listened she became almost beautiful. She was altogether a different Sara by the time he had finished. ; “And. now I'll tell you something,” she said when he had ended. “I don’t have to run a typewriter. I took it up after father died because 1™ was lonely and had to have something to do. egle left me $90,000." As Glaiwm star at her in amazement she bent and laid her cheek to his. “I'll get you out of this, scrape, dear,” she whispered, “but don't you ever fool with stocks again as long as you live!”

Cats Dwell in Luxury

Perhaps the greatest enthusiast ! the world over regardirig cats is Mrs. 1 W. Eames Colburn, wife -of. a Chicago banker. Mrs. Colburn'’s blue ribon cats alone number 35, and she (has a big collection of less patrician pussies which receive as much loving care. Each of the eighty odd cats in her possession 1s known to its mistress by name and pedigree, and each of them shows by its delighted “meows” and. purrings it also recognizes its bene: l factress. For her prize cats Mrs. Col ‘ burn recently built a modern sevenroom house with every luxury known to architect and designer. It is fitfed up with specially made brass beds, richly hung with silken draperies ahd lace curtains, each just big c¢nough 1o hold one of the blue-blooded creatures in comfort. And in every room is a well-nigh inexhaustible supply of thick, luscious cream. o ~ New Lease of Life for Old House. .

THE National Commission, composed of Garry Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati Reds, Thomas J. Lynch, president of the National league, and Ban B. Johnson, president of the American league, after months of discussion, has decided to let Johnny Kling catch for the Chicago Cubs.

The finding of the commission is that Kling shall pay from his own pocket a fine of S7QO; that he cannot play with any othe%\club for a year, and that the Chicago club shall not pay Kling more than $4,500 a year.

Probably no case has ever come before the National commission, “the supreme court of baseball,” that attracted so much attention. Every baseball fan knew that Kling was without a peer as a catcher. His work with the Cubs, winners of pennants and world’s championships, was a standard of excellency at which young catchers aimed. With him out of the game the Cubs fell to second place in the National league race last year, and while Archer and Moran did excellent work behind the bat there, were many who said that Kling's absence cost Murphy's club the National leagie pennant and probably the world’s championship. Whether Kliing’s absence from the game for a year will interfere with his playing remains to be seen. He played a few games last year and it was because he was associated ¢with some inéligible players that his case took on a more serious aspect. It was claimed that Kling had written permission from Charles W. Murphy, president of the Cubs, to remain out of the game for a year to

Girl Wireless Operator.

The only. gir! operator of wireless telegraphy in New York, and possibly in the world at present, sits on the roof of a Fifth avenue hotel in a iittle office sending messages through the air to ships at sea. She is only 21, and her employers say she is superior to many men telegraphers. While the majority of the messages coming and geing through her hgnds are commercial, some are of a tender nature. And some of these are addressed to her, as she is reported to

take charge of his billiard room in Kansas City, but Kling was unable to produce the lettet when the commission asked for it. However, two Kansas City sporting writers made affidavit that they had seen the letter before Kling lost it. Murphy produced a copy of the letter, the genuineness of which was not ;questionéd. :

It was over the punishment that was to be-meted out to Kling that the National commission had its wrangle. Johnson—who, by the way, is not friendly to Murphy—wanted to impose a heavy fine on Kling. Herrmann, the chezirman, and Lynch, the other member, would not agree to this, so when the written agreement was prepared it was signed only by Herrmann and Lynch, Johnson objecting to his name being attached to it. Kling announced that he was ready to .start training with the Cubs at once, and, having practiced daily in Kansas City while waiting for the commission to render its decision, will be in good condition before the season is far advanced. With Kling, Archer, Moran and Needham as catchers, the Cubs are stronger in the backstop -department than any other club and Chicago fans are ' predicting another world’s championship for the Windy City..... ¢ It is not unlikely that the case has started a row in the National commission that will not be easily patched over and fans are expecting further trouble in that august body.

“I believe a mistake has been made by the commission,” said Ban Johnson, ‘‘but I shall offer no criticism of the work of Messrs. Lynch and Herrmann.” %

NEW FOOTBALL RULES MAKE A SAFER GAM:

§IX CHANGES ADOPTED BY COMMITTEE FOR THE INTERCOLLEGIATE GRIDIRON CONTESTS.

SAFER football and the eliminationof the uanger of having the gridiron game wiped off the list of sports at the big colleges are aimed at in the six changes made in the rules by the intercollegiate football rules committee which met in New York a few days ago. y , The first change adopted was the removal of the present restriction that a runner receiving the ball directly from the snap back must run five yards to one side. This, in the opinion of the committee, will give the quarter back greater opportunities to make good runs; will offer an oppcrtunity for quicker plays, and create a need for the exercise of more strategy, !

+ The second change provides that seven men be kept by the offense on the line of scrimmage. This will prevent the drawing back of linemen for offensive plays and is a direct blow at mass plays. : . The third change is the prohibition of the diving tackle. ; - o The fourth change consists in the division of each half into two periods of 15 minutes each. This change is made so that there may be better opportunity to determine the physical condition of players.

Another clause under.this fourth division directs that a player compelled to leave the game may return during a subsequent quarter if he recovers sufficiently. 5 2 :

, The fifth change provides that no pushing or pulling of the runner with the ball is to be allowed.

‘ln analyzing the source of injuries to players the committee found that the diving tackle and the repetition of massed attacks at one point were Jthe chief causes of harm. - X

The sixth change prescribes that an onside kick must advance the ball 20 yards from the line of scrimmage. That is, if the ball strikes the ground short of 20 yards the offense becomes offside. This rule is also aimed at mass plays. : Having made these six changes to throw safeguards: around, the game, the committee took up 4 discussion of two plans for directing the style of playing and strengthening the offense sufficiently to balance the new opportunities for defense. The first plan contains two main features—first, the limitation of the forward pass to territory Yehind the line of scrimmage; second, limitation of the width of scrimmage lines.

EAVING the city- Ell Paso on pleasure and exploration bent, a party of eight men, with full camp and hunting equipment, started ‘into the almost un-

- known country of -the headwaters of the Yaqui river. The first lap of the* journey lay over the ‘Rio Grande, Sierra Madre y Pacifico railroad to Casas Grandes. Arriving at Casas Grandes we were met by “Pink" Robinson, about the only ,American living there. He escorted us to his saloon, from where we were to make the start. After selecting eight riding horses and six pack animals from the corral, we began laying in our supplies from the one store in the town. *Pink” helped us find two mozos who agreed to go with us as guides and cooks and general help. They were called Luis and Felipe. It took our combined English, Spanish and deaf-and-dumb vocabulary to make ourselves understood, but we managed fairly well after a little practice. We learned that one of them had been down -on the Gavilan river some years before and tnought he could take us through all right,. though the river was high at this season. All being in readiness, the word was given and we were off into the hostile and fascinating land of the Yaquis.

Between Casas Grandes and%or& rel Garcia we passed acres of roofs of prehistoric dwellings.- The rains have washed the earth down from the surrounding hills until they are all covered except the gables, and it is known as “The Gable City.” Out from Casas Grandes some 25 miles are the ruins of ancient.dwellings whose iistoryis a sealed book. The white walls £ these ruins can be seen for miles, occupying as they do a site .on the izountains. No legend of their buildArS exists. Thg Indians ‘'simply know the place as Casas Grandes (Big Houses) and will not go to them, be{ieving them to be the dwelling place of evil spirits. )

After two days’ traveling, we entered the valley of the Gavilan river. On. every hand as we passed through this almost unexplored country we found traces of its ancient peoples.. It is apparent that two distinct races have inhabited the valley. The one was a people’ who were given to agriculture, and who must have been a large and powerful tribe, as the valley for hundreds of miles bears evidence of their thrift. On the mountain slopes walls of stone follow the canyons in' every direction, making terraces. In one canyon there are 70 terraces one above another, and in another there are over 100. Some of the walls are ten feet high, while others just protrude from thg-ground. These range in length from 50 to 100 yards. The walls are' built of loose rocks, not round boulders, but flat rocks, laid without mortar, and built on an incline to prevent their falling outward. - The rains washing the loose soil down the mountainsides made level terraces where were planted the cotton and corn for food and clothing. These terraces are now largely overgrown with trees and vegetation. On all the high hills there are piles of rocks in the form of pyramids and half -moons. Some of these pyramids are 30 feet high and 200 feet around. What was their purpose is not known. Penetrating farther into the valley, in the most sequestered parts -of the mountains, we came upon eliff dwellings. Some of these dwellings were 1,000 feet up the sides of an almost perpendicular wall, and in every narrow canyon we feund the terraces for raising corn and cotton as in ‘the wider portions of the valley. Some of these cliff dwellings are three stories high, made of a white cement so strong it is almost impossible to break it with a-pick. That these people. were gradually driven back by hostile tribes is evident from the fact that the farther

Ex-Empress Revisits Paris.

During the recent floods in Paris the ex-Empress Eugenie was a guest at a botel from which there is a good view of the gardens of the Tuileries. An Englishman, who was also stopping there at the time, writes: “There was a general exodus when it became known that the waters had flooded the lower part of the hotel, and the old lady was advised to vacate her apartments, but refused to do so. She made inquiry as to whether the building was in danger of collapsing, and when reassured on that point said that she would stay. Despite her 84 years, she made trips in the inundated . region whenever she could do so in a taxicab, accompanied only by a maid, and when the flood had subsided left the.city for her country home unknown by the few people who saw her.” : ' The Philosopher of Folly, “The man who didn’t know It was loaded, and the man who lets the water get low in the boiler,” says the Philosopher of ' Folly, “are blood brothers to the rich guy who writes spoony letters to his manicurist.”

one penetrates into the interior the more difficult of access become the dwellings, and at last they become mere caves in the mountainside, showing that from a strong and prosperous people they were driven into poverty by a stronger énemy who lived upon the labor of their predecessors. ©One curious feature of this valley is that for miles at a stretch in different-sec-tions of the valley, bits of broken glass and pottery are scattered over the ground. Where all this pottery came from and how it came to be scattered over. such a territory is_a mystery. i ) There is one canyon where the superstitious guides will not go, saying that those who venture there ngver

One authentic record | which proves that this tribe really in|habits the valley came to our knowl- ' edge. A Spanish gentleman with his ' young son were making the trip to a small town called Alamos. Losing their way during a heavy storm, they found themselves in this valley. While returning to the proper course they saw numbers of nude Indians of small stature, and very dark, emerge from the cave-like dwellings. However, they appeared to be very much frightened at the sight of a carriage, someI thing which undoubtedly they had never seen before, and quickly disapl peared from view, giving no ‘evidence | of their supposed bloodthirsty. charac!ter ‘and showing every sign of fear at ghe apparition of str_angérs‘ in their territory. Cou s ’ : :E. G. WHEELER. INDUSTRY IS LOOKING UP [ Whaling Business Again Profitable Aft- | er Long Years of Serious Depression. The fluctuations of the whaling industry in Newfoundland are . most amazing. A little over ten years ago, on June 25, 1908, the first whale was killed by modern methods in these lwaters, and yet within five years -the flotilla grew from one steamer to 18, 'and the annual kill from 43 to 1,478, | The result was a slump, after-condi-tions akin to those of the “South Sea Bubbie” or the “Dutch Bulb mania™ being created in a mild form. The industry went to pieces in a single year ior two, nearly all the steamers were 'sold off, and $1,500,000 was hopelessly ’lost. S | | One concern had expended $70;000 'in the purchase of a steamer, the _building of a “whale factory,” and the 'operation of these fer two years and ‘never killed a whale at all, says P: J. ' Magrath in Canada. Another lost a i similar amount and had a catch of but lfour fish; a third caught only eight, when it required at least sixty to l make fhe venture pay, and it had paid so well a year or two before that dividends of 35 to 50 per cent. were realfzed. Now the industry is recovering again, and the few concerns that have survived stand to make a substantial profit. . Scientists tell us that the whale is not a fish, but an aquatic mammal that can remain below water only a’ brief ‘period, as it must relleve :its’ respiratory organs. It suckles its yourg as do the beasts of the field; it is warm blooded, and its flesh is like meat. The whale family consists of two groups—the - toothed whales and the bone whales. Of the former are the cachelot or sperm whale, famed for its spermaceti or cetaceum, and the orca |or killer whale, which, like the other, yields a liberal sgpply of oil as well from its blubber coated carcass. Of the bone whales there ‘are the bow: head or right whale, the monster of the north, and the rorqual or racer whale of the temperate regions. = The bowhead inhabits the arctics and the cachelot the tropics.

Danger in Unclean Mouth.

The importance of clean mouths in health calls for no argument. - The necessity for disinfection of this important gateway to the interior in disease is less commonly appreciated. Much attention has been.given- to the question in various armies and navies. Drinking from common cups is prevented wherever possible. Some of the ships of our navy keep the drinking cups on the water tanks lying in a formalin solution, when not in use. On others the sailors drink directly from a spout, which throws the water up into their mouths—no cups being used. In default of some method of mouth disinfection, 'says' Dr. J. D, Gatewood in his work on “Naval Hyglene,” specific diseases, tuberculosis, diphtheria, influenza, ~ pneumonia, measles, mumps and scarlet fever may become epidemic on shipboard.—New York Press. . s World’s Largest Incubator.

Newfoundland’s Bad ﬁecord.

The Newfoundland Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis is carrying on a vigorous and necessary campaign this year iq the island. The .death rate from the disease in Newfoundlana is very large. About one in every five of the total population dies of it, and, what is worse, in the last six years the death rate, which is stationary or decreasing elsewhere, has increaséd about 50-per cent. This is due largely to the native horror of fresh air in the house. ) A Getting in Deep.. o “Father,” said little Rollo, “what is the fourth dimension?” , “Why—er—my son, that is hard to explain to the inexpert intelligence.
