rA Gulf That | Disappeared $ By H. IRVING KING (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Rocco thought that he had never seen such a delightful vision as the girl who came floating into the tearoom of the Hotel Megatherium beside Miss Caroline Highby. And being a waiter in a fashionable hotel, Rocco was not easily impressed. Miss Highby was known to him, even by name, for the restaurant of the Megatherium was one of her favorite resorts. She could not afford it, to be sure, nor the expensive clothes she wore, but Caro- , line belonged to one of those families not uncommon in New York who manage to live within their incomes and half as much again year after year without the slightest difficulty. As for the young lady who accompanied Miss Highby it may be stated j that she was a country cousin of i Caroline’s, Masie Landers by name, J and possessed of a fresh, wholesome, i "corn-fed” sort of beauty exceedingly refreshing to look upon. When the tall, handsome Rocco approached the table and offered his services with a graceful bow Masie immediately began to think of various heroes out of the novels she was so fond of reading. But what hero, even 40 romance, could wear evening clothes in broad daylight with such a grace as was displayed by Rocco? “Masie, for heaven’s sake, don’t stare at Rocco in that absurd manner,” warned Miss Highby. "Do you think he is a prince in disguise?” “He—he looks like it,” sighed Masie. “Well, he Isn't,” retorted Caroline; “he is simply one of the best waiters In New York. As to looks —they have to be good looking to hold down a job hera. Til say that for the management —if the prices are outrageous and the tea weak.” “Is he Italian?” asked Masie. “How should I know?” snapped I Caroline. “His name is Rocco and, I therefore, I suppose so. Just look at । that woman over there—what a hld- ! eous gown!” As Masie arose to leave • the place she dropped a little “vanity bag”—did she do it accidentally?— and Rocco picked it up and restored it to her with & graceful bow and an admiring glance which, in spite of his training, he could not restrain, to be rewarded with a heavenly smile and a “Thank you” in the sweetest of possible voices. The two expensively dressed yotffig women swept out of the restaurant and Rocco sighed. For the rest of the afternoon his conduct was such as very nearly to cost him his job. He spilled hot tea on Mrs. PoppletonJackson's new dress and broke a teacup in the serving room. The head waiter concluded that his hitherto Impeccable assistant was coming dewn with the grippe and advised him to go home and send for a doctor. But it was not medicament for the body that Rocco needed. It was a realization of the impassable nature of this gulf which took the heart out of Rocco. Rocco desperately recalled accounts he had seen in the newspapers of heiresses marrying their coachmen and chauffeurs, but he also recalled the tragic, or at least highly unsatisfactory, consequences of such matches. His desperate resolve cooled, but not ; his love. Two other visits did Masie and her cousin make to the Megatherium restaurant in the course of the week, and upon each occasion Rocco waited upon his divinity with an assiduity and delicacy which did not escape the notice of Miss Highby. "Well, really, Masie,” said the lively Caroline, “Rocco seems mightily taken with either you or me. *Do you think my new hat is becoming? Isn’t it absurd, the Impudence of these waiters?” “Why, I think he Is very respectful Indeed.” replied Masie. “Respectful?” cried Miss Highby. ‘ “He’d better be.' From overhearing the conversation between Masie and her cousin on the occasion of their last visit to the restaurant Rocco learned that on the morrow his hopelessly adored one was to letum to her home “up state” and 1 that the name of her home town was Catlinburgh. Oh, such a sweet smile ' as Masie gave him as she left the restaurant that day! Rocco sat thinking long into the night. By morning his resolution was taken. He gave a month’s notice and announced that his career as a waiter was at an end. He had begun that career when a mere stripling as “busboy” and-the years which had since elapsed had been profitable ones. A river of tips, as rich as the waters of Pactolus, had rolled toward him and, ! though still a young man, he had a i comfortable bank account and real esj tate in Hoboken. Rocco had rather hazy ideas as to just what he would | do when he had closed his career as a | waiter, but ambition had been awakened by love and he was resolved

I FIND “SERMONS IN CUT STONES”

American Architecture Has an Uplifting Influence Which Is Beginning to Be Felt. In this country travel is necessary, but it is also an ideal. Any sort of railway station will serve as a place to buy a ticket or board a train, and until recently almost any kind of barracks did serve for those purposes. But the haphazard building could not ' express our delight in travel, our en- | joyment of distance and speed and , ; punctilious arrivings apd departings. ‘ John Erskine writes in the North : American Review. The pleasant casI ualness of the stage coach and the roadside in exotic moments; our religion of travel is uttered in the Pennsylvania station in New York and in other such structures fast rising I •throughout the country, where the ded- | bitted atmosphere produced by carefully selected elements from rhe buildings of antiquity, have little to do with buying your ti ket and a great I deal to do with the American spirit.]

> to achieve such fame and fortune as I should place him socially on an equal- > Ity with the girl who had captured his : affections. The end of the month for which Rocco had given notice came. Before doing anything else he resolved to visit Catlinburgh to gaze once more, perchance, upon the fair Masie. Catlinburgh was a small town with a big, barnlike hotel, for it was a railway junction and a market town and travelers and farmers furnished hotel patrons in plenty. The hotel was supplied with waitresses from the ranks of- farmers’ daughters and village girls. Rocco arrived in town late at night. He was the first guest in the dining room at breakfast time. A trim waitress approached and began the recitative employed by waitresses at such times and at such hostelrles. She got as far as “hamaneggs” when she broke off with a “Good gracious!” Rocco wheeled about in his chair. Masie Landers stood before him. There thej’ were, waiter and waitress —the gulf had disappeared. He called on her that night and explanations followed. Masie worked in the hotel to support her widowed mother. The fine clothes she had worn in New York had been forced on her as a temporary loan by her cousin, Caroline, lest she should appear “dowdy.” Rocco’s name was really John Henry Perkins—born in Flatbush. So they were married and John Henry bought the Catlinburgh hotel, which he and Masie still prosperously conduct. Getting Evidence of the Bumps. There is a new kind of device called a vialog which records uneven surfaces on highways and shows where they are most in need of repair. The record is taken on a roll of paper sufficient to make a graph for eleven miles of road. A new record can be put in in a moment and thus ; the status of each eleven-mile strip i may be filed for future comparison. The recording is done by a sensitive • needle, self-inking. It is the seismograph in a modified form. Personally one takes the record in I his own anatomy on a rough road and ' when his head goes through the top of the automobile he knows exactly ' how rough it is, but the vialog in- i scribes the notes more imperturbably I and accurately than one would with a paper and pencil. Moreover, the vialog says nothing audible about it. But we should like to see the “graph” of the vialog after it has passed over a corduroy road, We’ll bet it would be out of ink. Writing to Indian Princes. A letter sent to a native prince In India is a very elaborate affair. The paper is specially made for the purpose, and is sprinkled with gold leaf. Only the last few lines, of the somewhat lengthy document contain the purport of the letter, while the remainder is made up of the usual roundabout and complimentary phrases. It is folded in a peculiar way with the flaps outwards and placed in a muslin bag, and this latter into one of crimson and gold tint, with a slip-knot of gold thread, attached to which is a ponderous seal. ! The address, written on a slip of parchment, is attached to the outside \ . bag. These details are very important I for polite letter-writing in India, and if any of them wen l omitted It would j insult the person addressed. Government in isle of Man. In the Isle of Man, an assembly having both legislative and judicial powers, composed of 24 principal common- | ers of the island, is called the “House of Keys.” This body was originally self-elective; but in 1566 election by the people, every seventh year, was established by act of parliament. The j house of keys is one of the two co-or- 1 dlnate branches of the* general assembly called the court of Tynwald, the ! other branch consisting of the lieuten-ant-governor and council. A bill is separately considered by each branch, and, after being passed by both,, is transmitted for the royal I assent. It does not. however, become a law until it has been promulgated in I both the English and Manx languages on the Tynwald hill. Applied Scripture. “I’m mighty thirsty, pa.” said the | farmer's boy, as he paused a moment | in his hoeing. “Well, keep on and ! never mind about that,” answered the i horny-handed son of toil. “Remember i the good book says, ‘Ho, every one j that thirsteth.’ ” —New Haven Regis- j ter. The Hush of Wonder. The atmosphere of poetry is the i hush of wonder; and that is why there | can be no humorous poetry. Verse, . felicitously turned, beautifully ex- ; ■ pressed. Yes! But not humor and > poetry at the same instant! You may [ often have a set of verses in which Pierrot and Columbine flit in and out. You feel the flashes of poetry reaching into you. Suddenly you laugh. Why, It is Harlequin again, and there is the Clown. But the hush of wonder is gone.—Oliver C. de Ellis.

— ... We breathe more freely as we enter them and enjoy the space and the height; our instinctive comment is, “This is something like!” as though some part of us had found expression. And if this success in architecture is as yet in the field of business and travel, among our public buildings, the i reason probably is that in those fields we know what our aspirations are. In ecclesiastical architecture, by the way of contrast, we are less clear. We feel that if the Woolworth building is | so lovely it is but respectable to imi prove the appearance of our churches, so we put up very wonderful Gothic chapels and cathedrals—only to find, perhaps, that they are a sort of weight on our conscience rather than an expression of our desires: we sometimes l try to cultivate the religion that produced them, in order that so eloquent a language may have more content in its words.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Bulgarian Revolution Alarms All the Other Nations in the Balkans. M. STAMBOULISKY IS KILLED Chancellor Cuno Working on Compromise Proposition to France—President of China Is Ousted—Ford’s Alleged Plan to Throw Election Into the House. By EDWARD W. PICKARD TJ OW would you like to see • the presidential election । l next year thrown into the house 1 । of representatives? This may ■ • result if Henry Ford carries out | । his reported plan of running, ■ not as head of a third party, but | i as an independent with a ticket i of electors in each state. ------------------------C /"'INCE more the Balkans, the hotbed of European wars, are ablaze. Bulgaria is in the throes of a civil war; Jugoslavia, Greece and Rumania have rushed troops to the Bulgarian borders, and Hungary has called three classes to the colors so as to seize whatever advantage may be offered. The conflict may be confined within the limits of Bulgaria, or it may spread over much of central Europe and ultimately Involve some the great powers. Reserve officers of the Bulgarian army, with the assistance of the active army, carried out a coup d’etat by which Premier Stamboulisky and his agrarian government were ousted and a new ministry installed headed by Prof. Alexander Zankoff. Some of the ex-ministers were arrested, but Stamboullsky fled and at once began arming and organizing the peasants for the purpose of recapturing Sofia and overthrowing the “usurping” government. Thursday evening he surrendered at Elesdick on condition that his life be spared, but a few hours later he was shot to death. The offi--1 cial report was that armed peasants attacked the automobile in which he was being taken to Slavovltza and that he was killed by a guard while trying to escape. Probably it was the application of the "ley de fuega” so familiar in Mexico. Stamboulisky had angered the old war party —mostly pro-German—by । his persecution of Macedonian autonomists, his attitude at the Lausanne conference, his concessions to Jugoslavia and his failure to obtain a corridor to the sea. The new adminisI tration says the actual crisis was brought on by his recent demand on King Boris that he be appointed dicI tator. After his flight, it is said, huge sums of monej’ were found in his villa. * The king is believed to have been privy to the plot by which the government was overthrown. Though Premier ZankofTs first act I was to visit the Jugoslav embassy and give assurance that he would respect the old government’s treaties, the Serbs are suspicious that he will enI courage and aid the Macedonians in their demands on Jugoslavia, and this probably would bring on hostilities. The Serbian foreign minister is reported to have said that Serbia was willing to force the new’ Bulgarian government to observe the treaty of Neuilly and the stipulation of the Nish conference, which obligated Stamboulisky to oppose the Macedonian movement. Part of Macedonia is held bj’ Greece, and both Greece and Rumania, as members of the little entente, would be bound to stand with Jugoslavia. THERE is not a great deal to be said concerning the Franco-German sitaation. To date Belgium has been unable to bring the French and tne British so into accord that a joint allied note could be sent to Chancellor Cuno. Poincare will not recede an inch from his demand that German passive resistance in the Ruhr must first be officially ended.

British cabinet sympathize with him, hut Premier Baldwin and most of his ministers ijre determined that Great Britain shall not be put in the position of appearing to approve of the I | French adventure in the Ruhr. German Foreign Minister von Rosenberg is said to be trying to work out a | compromise proposition. His government would express its willingness to drop passive resistance during the opening of negotiations with France if | assured the French would evacuate the Ruhr when satisfactory terms were | , reached and if amnesty were granted ' political offenders imprisoned or expelled by the French. Under the plan the German railway men in the Ruhr would resume their duties and the workers in the Rhineland would do their work under supervision of the French engineers. It is admitted in Berlin that the passive resistance is weakening because living conditions In the occupied region are becoming im- [ possible. Meanwhile, stimulated by > the nationalist societies, the Germans । in the Ruhr are renewing their cam--1 paign of sabotage and violence. With- । in a week they have killed three French [ soldiers and wrecked several trains, i Tiie natural result is the sterner appli- [ cation of restrictive measures by the i French. Eleven Germans have been [ killed for disobeying orders; some of i them disregarded the curfew hour es- ’ tablished in various towns where there . i was disorder. A MERICANS Interested In the Ches**ter concessions have learned with some dismay of a combination designed ' to control trade with Turkey, signed ’ at Lausanne by Rustem Bey, representing Leslie Urquhart and a group of ' British banks, and Sherif Bey, representing a new Turkish syndicate. The combination, which is capitalized for $10,000,000, will begin operations as soon as peace is signed, and its Turk- ' ish charter is so broad it can embark in any business. The Urquhart group 1 | embraces most of the big London banks, which have bought control of the Anatolia railway from the German- ! Swiss interests, and most of the British corporations engaged in business in Turkey before the w ar. The financial backing of the group is almost un--1 limited. ■ I TX7ITH Impressive ceremony the * * world court established by the League of Nations opened on Friday i at The Hague, in the Carnegie peace palace. It publicly proclaimed its independence of the league, but for the present its clerical work is being done by men and women sent from the league's headquarters in Geneva. Three cases were on the agenda for the session. The first is the dispute between Finland and Russia concerning the autonomy of East Carelia, but Russia has denied the court’s competence, say--1 ing the affair is an internal matter. The second, concerning the expulsion of German nationals from Poland, probably will not be contested by the Berlin government. The third case involves Germany’s right to bar from the Kiel canal, in March. 1921, a British ship which was carrying French war munitions to Poland at the time of the Russian attack on Warsaw. TT WOULD take more than a Philadelphia lawyer to figure out the situation in China ami make clear its complexities. After his cabinet quit him, President Li Yuan-hung fled to Tientsin, where soldiers held him prisoner in his train until he formally resigned. The functions of the government at Peking were undertaken after a fashion by representatives of five ministries who requested Premier Chang to return and resume his office. Li was virtually driven from Peking by Feng Yu-Hsiang, the “Christian general.” All the foreign captives of the Chinese bandits have been released and are again with their friends. By the compromise agreement with the outlaws 2,000 of them are to be enrolled in the army and they were paid $85,000. fpOREIGN ships coming to America now’ enter our ports with only enough liquor for medicinal purposes, in accordance with the decision of the Supreme court and the regulations of the Treasury department. But there is so much dissatisfaction that the government at Washington is trying to yet they set up as competitors of men in all walks of life. "Far more homes are made miserable by envious women." he argued, “than by dominant or brutal men.” “Women,” continued Doctor Oldfield, "have been ‘tinkers’ on the mandolin and piano through all the ages, but it is among men that the creative musicians are found. “Women are imitative and not creative,” said the English critic.

Already it has been informally suggested that treaties be ] made with each foreign nation by which the United States would be given the right of search within twelve miles of its coast in return for modification of the dry ship rule. What i would be the attitude of other governj ments toward such a proposition is not I known, but the comment of the British j • press is decidedly unfavorable. Any- | how, it is admitted in Washington that i i this plan does not offer an early solui tion of the problem, for senate ratificaI tion of the treaties would be necessary ami the senate does not convene until L>ecember. l\/rR. LASKER, retiring chairman of the shipping board, received the O. K. of President Harding for the trial trip of the Leviathan with its | 600 invited guests, and the Republicans who decried the affair as a useless and expensive junket .have fallen silent. Not so the Democrats, however. Their national committee already has fulminated against the trip, and probably it w ill be£ept alive as campaign ma- [ terial. There, if anywhere, lies its I inadvisability. TN HIS final report to the President, Mr. Lasker recommends the crea--1 tion of eighteen subsidiary corporations, each to control one of the con- ! solidated ship routes, as the basis of government operation of the federal merchant marine in case the efforts to I transfer the ships to private operation finally fail. The government must assume complete control, Mr. Lasker declares, the system of operation agents having proved in his opinion a “vicious one,” resulting in the placing of its j "terminal facilities and the good will j of its lines” in outside hands. He ex- I presses the opinion, however, that government operation should always be with a view to ultimate sale to private owners. The chairman numbered among the material results of his administration: Settlement of claims aggregat- I ing $200,000,000 for "12 cents on the dollar” and. reduction of current deficit from $16,000,000 to $4,000,000 a month. At the end of the fiscal year, he says, the board will have $125,000,000 on deposit in the treasury against $4,000,000 when he took office. This I sum is believed to be sufficient for j the board construction financing, the j report says. | HENRY FORD, it is now reported, j is going to make the race for the | presidency all by himself instead of ■ as the head of a third party ticket. He is quoted as saying: "There will be four tickets in the 1924 election: The ■ Republican ticket, the Democratic i ticket, a third party ticket and the । Henry Ford Independent ticket. No candidate is likely to get a majority of the electoral vote and the election probably w ill be thrown into the house of representatives.” । There are 531 votes in the electoral i college, and if the two old parties are I fairly evenly matched in the 1924 elecI tion and the third or the Ford ticket ’ won one large state or two or three smaller ones no candidate would have ! a majority and the election would be thrown into the house of representa- ! tives of the Sixty-eighth congress. In this case the Constitution provides that the house shall choose the President ! from the candidates, n<>t exceeding three, receiving the highest number of ; electoral votes. In making this choice, । however, the house is required to vote by states, each state delegation having one vote, determined t»y a majority of the members of the delegation. A quorum shall be one or more members from each of two-thirds of the states, and "a majority of all states shall be necessary to a choice." Thus at least 25 votes would be required to elect. I It happens that in the next house ■ there are only 23 state delegations , whose majority is Republican and 20 [ i state delegations whose majority is I i Democratic, while five delegations : evenly divided between Republicans ' and Democrats would not be able to I cast a vote. To effect an election it I would be necessary for members in ' pivotal state delegations to repudiate j party affiliations or absent themselves ! from the balloting. If there were a deadlock, and Ford were one of the i three highest in the electoral college [ vote, he might conceivably be chosen • by the house as a compromise. England one w ill find a few actresses and courtesans, but none worthy of commemoration as poets, painters, sculptors, inventors, world pioneers or । world benefactors.” Having charged women with neglecting the most sacred duties of mother- | hood and with selecting the doubtful I pleasures of politics and public life, j Doctor Oldfield concluded by saying ; that there would be no peace in life | until women were taught to become as- I fectionate junior comrades in the co- I partnership of the sexes.

Be sure to ask for the double-strength Othlne, as this is sold under guarantee of money back if it fails to remove freckles. Salesman Wanted Spare or full time. Easy sales. Pleasant work.
