In readiness to tak her to the Galaxy Theatre, where she had been leading actrers for eeven of the ten years that he had played there. But on the second landing she came io an abrupt standtlll and tared hard i a child 7ho was peeping: wistfully through the half-opened floor of the Cat immediately below her own. "Is 'oo an anirel?" she asked. In a etage whisper. "Gracious. no! laughed Althea. "What madt you lay that?" he asked. gntly. -Cause. If I ask daeMy when I s'all muvver. he always eays. Vhen an angel tomes for 'ooj and" pressing a confldfnsr little arm on Altnta'i knee l- ald ve angel would have, p'tty Cold hair, so I fort It mut be "oo." A mist ros before Althea's eyes. "And what Is our name?" Hetty." came the prompt response. Eett7 Tvor." Althea'a face whitened, and with a sharp exclamation the bent down and looked more clotely at the child's winsome features. Could It be was It possible that this was John Trevor'a chlid? The child of the man whom, ten yeans ajjo. she had refused because she considered that love and marriage were but hindrances and stumbling-blocks to art and ambition? Fhe refused htm whilst loving him with all her heart. That had been five lonp weary years ago, but Althea had never forgotten she never could. For the moment Althea forgot everything. It was only subconsciously that she became aware of a man's quick tep mounting the 6tone stairs of the mansions, and It was not until Ms voice was in her ear that ahe came back to realities and found herself looking once nice ever the bridge of years on the face of the man she loved. "Johnr -AltheaT The music of his vol .re was In her ears again, turning her fabnt and dizzy with joy; ahe llftwd shining- eyes to hi. "How good to see you again!" he cried, enclosing her hands in . close, warm claap before releasing them. I was golnj to look you up to-morrow is It still the same old address?" Althea shook her head. The man's face shadowed; he Tressed the curly head to his side and looked at Althea with clouded eyes. Her own were filled with a passion of sympathy. "It's true, then?" she murmured. "Tcu have lost herf "Two years ago la India." was the brief reply. The taxi driver from below .appeared at her elbow with a respectful Intimation that she had only Just time to reach the theatre. "What la the play?" asked John over the banisters as ehe hurried down the stairs. "The Ladder of Fame," ah said, with slow distinctness. It was only by a lucky chance that John Trevor was able to secure a seat. From end to end the theatre was picked with an audience eager to witness a play that had been in everyone's mouth for months and was proving a record success. No one was allowed to know that It comprised the story of five years of the author's own life, beginning at the botton rung of the ladder and ending at the top. Had the audience been let Into the secret they would have known why Althea Btanden incomparable actress that she waa rose to such superb heights in her portrayal of the heroine. After the rise of the curtain, the flrt ecene had r.ot progressed more than five minutes before Trevor's in Circumstance, A STORY OF WAR AND JENS RFTtnER was an ordinary man. He possessed no epeclul gifts, was tolerably intelligent, amiable and quiet and very popular with all who knew him. Ho was rich, or rather his father was. but Jens was his only heir, and he always had plenty of money. Like all other young men. Jens had been examined for military service but had been sent home because of a trifling defect of one leg of which he had '.ever suspected the existence, but which mad him very happy now as It exempted him from military service. Xt was two years later that the war broka out Jen did not care much one way or th other, and his parents Who were quickly afftcted by the general panic which aelaed the whole population, were overjoyed that their boy. at any rate, would not have to erre. Ae for Jens hlma?lf. he did not even think of the war. far less talk of it. and often expressed his contempt of those who followed the events of every day with the greatest Interest and expressed tr fear that their owr country might become involve. In the meant. me the news became more a"d more alarming, the nlr was full of rumors and more soldiers wera called to the colors every week. Many of Jens's friend had already left. As for himself, he "ent most of his time at his parents' country seat Just outeiie the city, running in, however, in his car to spT.d hi" evenings l:i a cafe and thu :et away from an atmosphere of fc ir which annoyed him exceedingly. His parents were absolutely proof against his arguments and his Imperturbable good humor. They were continually groaning and tlghlr.tr at the dreadful hard times, and at the bottom of thlr hearts they felt not a little shocked at their son's callousness. Occasionally.

It was as though some magician with a wave of hia wand had carried him back, to ten yars ago, when as a your.g man of twenty, five he hd eued. and sued in vain for the love of Althea Staralen. The very words he had spoken then she had put into the mouth of her hero, and the very words she had used herself on that memorable evening she was peai:lng njv on th etage: "I have r.o room In my life for love or marriage. I have determined to live for art and for art alone until 1' have reached the summit of my ambition" How well he remembered hr decision and the despair it had brough: him!

After a few moments he went round to the stage entrance. He found he; alone- and had time to notice the listless attitude, the tired lines abou: the beautiful eyes. "How you startled me. John!" she cried. He ?tode forward and imprisoned her hands is a close, compelling grasp "Althea." he said. "Althea look at me." "What is It?" she asked. In the Jd careless way he knew so well, "l'ou sound serious." "I am serious. Althea. Is 'The Ladder of Fame' a true story? Some of it Is, I knowbut I mean the whole of It?" She struggled to release her hands, but he held them all the tighter. "What nonsense!" she laughed softly. "Whatever made you think of euch a thing?" "Don't play with me, Althea,- ha said sternly. "No." she replied, lowly. "It la not all true." His face went gray under the shock. "I'm sorry." he said simply. "1 was hoping It might have been." Thj next moment she was alone with a closed door between herself and the happiness of which ehe had deprived herself. She had sent him away, and something told her that he would never sue for her love again. With a passionate cry ehe flung herself on the couch and buried her face In the cushions. It was only when he had regained the stage entrance that John Trevor discovered he had left his hat and gloves in Althea's dressing room. . He heard his own name spoken In despairing accents by the woman who had so often refused his love; then came a passion of weeping that sent the blood ebbing away from John's face. He knelt down and drawing Althea Into his arms, kissed her gently. She made no resistance and his heart leaped afresh. "Then It was true after all?" he asked in a voice that trembled with eager Joy. She nodded, and with an exclamation of triumph he rose and drew her to her feet. "Dear," he said, " do you remember the last time we had supper together? Do you remember the toast v.e drank?" "To The Ladder of Fame?'" said John with a whimsical smile. A very tender look crept Into Althea's eyes. "No," she said with sweet gravity. "We'll drink a toast to Love." the Magician OF AN AWAKENING his country home. It was In the line of fire from one of the forts and had to be razed. The family must leave within twenty-four hours. When Jens Uerger came home that night he was surprised to the house illuminated from top to late. Hnd hottorn, and as he entered he found everybody busy packing. The eyes of the women were swollen wlh tears, and his father's face wore . strange, stony expression. "And this house, which I have built myself." he concluded his explanation to Jens, and It was a?y to see how hard he was hit by the blow. Jens took his hand and tried to console' his father, but could not flr.d the proper words. The next afternoon the house was empty, the family had moved to the city and housev rr ..kers had already started to tear down the building It was S o'clock, the sun was setting and the shadows were darkening when Jens Uerger arrived in his car to have a lust glance at the place where he was born. He Mopped short, greatly impressed at the unexpected sight. The fence was down, doors and windows were gone, and of the roof only the bare rafters were left. The beautiful flower beds, his father's rrtde. had been ruthlessly trampled by many heavy feet. Then a strange thing happened Jens was overwhelmed by a feeling he had never experienced before. Ha went Into the summer l.ousj and wept. The destruction of his childhood home had pierced his indifference and In Its place came an Intense hatred against the enemy. He shook his head sr.d thoughts rushed n ;d!y through his brain. Ha saw before him the expression of stony despair in his father's face, and it seemed to h'.m an If he now understood everything. He understood hlo friends' enthusiasm, their eagerness to et Into the fight. One day Denmark might become involved in the war and share the fate of Belgium. Hut this must never happen as long r.s there was a man left to defend Parish soil. He had a solemn duty to fulfill row. And it should no longer be said of him that he wanted to shirk It. He raced madly back to town and every stroke of the motor seemed to repeat the cry of his heart: "Tomorrow you will enlist as a volunteer to-morrow. to-morroTi"

HEP. PRAN WASHINGTON. July 14. The Iilor's National Peace council has lodged a complaint with ec'y of State Iv-insiiiK, that ships are bcimr loaded at New York with war munitions and contraband contrary to American neutrality laws. The Labor's National Peace council is the organization headed by Representatives Buchanan and Fowler of Illinois, which has been active in urging legislation, prohibiting the exportation of war munitions.

Meyers showed the letter to his farmer friends and then buried a can in the spot. Hidden in the bushes was a party of his farmer friends, each armed with a rille or sawed-off shot-gun. Two men came and dug up the can. As they started away the farmers "let 'cm have it." William Anker, a horse buyer of South Holland. 111., was the man whose arm was broken, and Henry Nelankow, a bartender of Fountain. 111., was the other alleged "blackhandcr" who was wounded.

Atmospheric conditions so affect the figures that w hen the prediction is fair weather the little children (boy and prirl) move outride, when the nredlc tion is unsettled weather, the boy and girl and the little old witch are in the doorway, and when rain is predicted, the old witch moves outside.
