A Woman's Business By Zoe Beckley

LOVE IN PAIN The great auditorium, to Walt, had suddenly vanished as Janet began her faltering address of introduction of the brilliant lecturer. Lucy, at his side, vanished with the rest. All that Walt could Bee, hear and feel to the last breaking nerve in him, was that Janet was moving her lip before a great unseen audience and that no words but her dry-lipped message of terror spoke to him. Janet, hla Janet, was In terror and In pain! When her stumbling words finally faltered out something, in Walt wa3 concentrated all the stiffening of embarrassment which the whole audience felt. When Janet forgot the speaker's name, Walt did not breathe nor unclench his fingers until he iieard her repeat Roy Nicoll's whispered prompting. Then he saw her go off the stage. Without turning to Lucy, barely seeming to know ehe was there, he said: "Janet Is in trouble. I am going to her!" Walt fairly ran up the aisle and into the anteroom back of the stage. Lucy did not move. Her face remained fixed on the platform. But in her eyes was the look of one who had been hit by a bullet who knew she was hit, but would not realize until later how badly she was wounded. Walt tried to open the door of the anteroom and found it ' locked. He tried another entrance, but found it guarded by a husky attendant. "You can't get in here!" the man said, barring Walt's way. "My wife's in there I . must see her!" Walt said, thrusting the attendant aside. "I don't care " the guard began, pushing Walt back. But the latter turned on him.

"Man alive, get out of my way!" he cried, his eyes speaking what hla words left unsaid. The fellow stepped aside. Walt found the anteroom empty. He ran out Into the street Just In time to see Janet and Nicoll ride off, the lights in the limousine going out at the same instant Walt had to run to the corner before he could find a taxi. By then, Nicoll'a limousine was out of sight. He jumped Into the cab, giving the chaffeur the address of hla and Janet's home. "Speed it son, I'll take the consequences!" he cried. As the taxi shot downward, Walt's mind cleared as though by magic. Not only his mind, but his heart Now he knew. It was Janet he wanted Janet above everything else, more than Lucy, success, work.-.. all! How could he have forgotten such a clear, strong longing even for an instant? Everything else was ephennal, dust emptiness, without Janet! He dashed into the hall of hla apartment house. "My wife is upstairs?" he asked the elevator boy, as he went into the cage. "No, sah; she ain't come hum fum de meeting. Mist' Stedman!" the boy replied, hiding in stolidity his excited eagerness for the situation. Walt swallowed hard. H got out of the elevator, and leaving the house on the run, he rushed to Washington square. The windows of his room were dark. She was not there, either. He jumped into a passing- bus and rode up Fifth avenue to Nicoll's house. Nicoll's car was just starting off frfom the curb. Walt caught hold of it and swung aboard.

"Jim. my wife left Carnegie Hall in this car!" he said to the chaffeur. "Where did you take her?"The chaffeur looked at Walt. There was no use lying to this man. Jim kept silent ' "Is ehe in there?" Walt snarled. His voice waa hoarse. The chaffeur still did not answer. Walt jumped off the car and bounded up the steps of Nicoll's home. Thrusting his thumb against the bell button, he kept it there. There was no Immediate response, and he hammered on the door with hit fists. (To be continued.)

Professional Mexican Beggar Is Disappearing (By AHOQlatcd Preast LAREDO, Tex.. April 7. The picturesque beggar of the Mexican border is singing his swan song. Laredo has taken the lead in a movement lo end operations of the professional mendicant by passage of a city ordinance that will become effective before unrestricted traffic across the international bridge is resumed. Th-j professional beggars, mostly Mexican women and very old men, have become almost a recognized institution in the border towns. They have been permitted to solicit alma on fixed days of the week. Commercial institutions and private homes have contributed regularly. While troops have been on the border in large numbers the beggars have thrived and some are reputed to have amassed fortunes. ' In Laredo It was found that the beggars interfered with the work of organized charities. Other border towns are expected to take action similar to that of the Laredo city council.
