S "was tfr custon. Cordelia Craig sat down that morning to give her hair its usual careful attention. As she picked up her brush 6hc paused, etarins down at the mass

lipon her left shoulder. Her lips parted, her eyes widened; she felt the pang every woman fed whoa she finds the first gray hair In her head. There it was snowy, unmistakable, and not alone, but one of a community of gray hairs. The morning sunshine had brought the gray haira into evidence. They had been there a Ions time, but she had not noticed them. Gray hairs! Wrinkles accompanied gray hairs. Leaning forward, she scrutinized her face in the glaa3 and thought fiae could discern incipient lines about her eyes. "From thi3 moment," Cordelia thought, "I shall look every one of, my thirty-four years. Weil!" She sat down and leaned her head on her hand. It seemed to her as though one door had been shut in her face and another opened for her. "I am thirty-four," Cordelia thought, "and for fourteen years I've been trying to oak Jamrs Carlyle love me. We are Just where we started in.

I've wasted fourteen years of my life in a vain pursuit. I've bven tortured and restless and o.'Jtn very unhappy, and all I've got to chow for it are these gray hairs." Tears came and. crumbling over with her head on her arm, she Fcbbtd. 1 if ted Ler head and began vigorously to trush la hair. And with every troke resolution crystallized. The first thing she did was to telephone rt grets tj Mrs. Marcy, at whose house she was expected to raoet James Carlyle that evening. It came to her that she should find genuine relief In freedom from society. She h? ted cards, she hated trying to be youthful and hanging on the petticoats of those who were. "I'll be myself." she said. I'll do something useful." But what? She had plenty of money and there were servants in the great gtone house where he lived With her grandfather. No need to bake or brew. But without a daily social engagement she would find time heavy on hor hands. She had average accomplishments, but they were not sufficient to give her employment. She thought of nursing, even of going to the city and taking up settlement work. "But, no, 1 ought to be able to find something right here. What will It be. I wonder?" she asked herself. One day when she was buying gloves

she heard two wome talking. Each had a child at her side. "Marjory is so mischievous," one

sighed.

'She takes so much of my

time. Why, I can hardly get my work done mornings." "That's just the way It Is with Robert." returned the other young mother. "He's not big enough for school, and we aren't able to employ a maid. And I can't auu.ne him and do my work both." An inspiration came to Cordelia. She went home with quickened step to the old stone house. A week later the whole town was talking abort un announcement in the form of some plainly printed cards saying: "Miss Cordelia Craig wishes to announce that she will open a children's play-room at her home Nov. 1." Thea followed terms and other details. Cordelia Craig and a children's play-room where simple instructions ould be given! It was hard to reconcile the fact with Cordelia hereelf. However, Marjory and Kobert were the first children brought by their mothers. And there was a great deal ot satisfaction expressed at the sight of the great Craig parlor, stripped of its magnificent mahogany, set with little chairs, an upright piano, and interesting looking tables. A few pictures of children playing hung low on

the lofty walls and In the windows geraniums bloomed cheerfully. And Cordelia herself ! So fresh, bo Interesting, so responsive In white linen and little apron, with her brown hair shinging smooth! Cordelia's idea grew, and soon the great room was so alive, with little ones that she had to send to the city for an assistant. A middle aged woman came, who taught Cordelia new methods. Miss Hemmin& was a wonder in her way, but then she received a salary which was greater than all

Oitf Game Countrj. "I understand you came from a great game country;" said the lady on the committee to welcome the grizzly warriors of the Western plains. "Indeed, yes, ma'am," was the cow-boy's reply. "What is the bluest game you have in Wyoming?" "Poker, ma'am!" O i His Utmost. "I want a lower berth on tho midEight train to New York." "No more lowers," said the clerk, "Then I'll take an upper." "So more uppers." "Well, do what you can for me." "I'm doing it now. All I can do is to sympathize with you."

the proceeds of the playroom put together. Financially tho Institution was not a success, but Cordelia did cot care for that. She felt that she was doing good in her home town. Besides she was occupied and cheerful. The children loved her, and she grew to love them dearly. One day James Carlyle's sister came with her little boy a pale, heavyheaded, temperamental youngster of five. "I'm distracted with James," she said. "His sixth nurse hau just left me. She said he was Incorrigible. Can you do anything with him here, Mus Craig?" "I'll try' replied Cordelia simply. She never had any reason to like Mrs. Carson, but she felt sorry for the bigeyed child. "She misunderstands him," she thought. So James Carlyle Carson was added to the playroom, and for a few days Cordelia had her hands full with him. Thea 6he won. He was not incorrigible; merely the victim of the unprincipled women who had had all the care of him. When he found that Cordelia meant to be kind as well as firm he began to coincide with her. After a fortnight they were the bt of friends and she couli do anything she wished with him. WUhia to

months he was so improved that his mother came to than Cor&tdlx.

"lt's marvelous what you've done for my little boy. Miss Craig," the said, and tears stood In her eyes. "He Is not the same child. My brother James has spoken of it repeatedly. I feel that I owe you a great deal. And I want to tell you that, though I've never been your friend and haven't always treated you fairly behind your back. I am your friend now, and anything I can do for you I will do." Cordelia looked her in the eyes. "I don't know what you mean." she said. "It's James, my brother," confessed Mrs. Carson, all her artificiality suddenly hid in scarlet shame. "I I didn't want him to marry you. and I re fought you behind your back ever since I found out that he wasted you. But now " Cordelia lifted a finger. "Comfort yourself, my dear." she said coldly. "I wouldn't marry your brother now if he were the last man in the world. I don't want any man who lets his sister influence his mind to the extent you say you have influenced James," So the playroom goes on. It is an insQr.tion now, and Cordelia has her hantfs and heart full. James Carlyle plies her with his attentions. He really Is quite madly In love with her at last, and .11 the sitters In the world could not indrxnoe him now. Cordelia is letting Vn wait; she Is let

classes of courts-; one to decide jucstions of private law between citizen, and the other to decide cases in which tip' duties of administrative officials, or the interests of the government are involved. When a difference of opinion on the pastion of jurisdiction .arises between these courts, it is decided by a court of conflicts composed of members? drawn from both. If a nation does not suffer its own courts of law to determine their jurisdiction, one can hardly expect that it would allow an international tribunal to do so. For this reason the covenant of Taris. while making plans for a judicial tribunal and netting up a council of statesmen, does not provide that all justiciable question? shall be submitted to the first and all other matters to the second, but allows any sJte to claim in effect that the question is not justiciable and to require its reference to the council. This is not the best arrangement conceivable, but it is far better than having no method of settling: disputes except military force.
