Most gullible creatures alive, and tend

The writer of llili Interesting piece of
Information most certainly was a mis

In poor esteem, loo. It Is qulto untrue
that tho average woman Is such an en
tirely scheming, cold-hearted sort of

"I do think that lots of girls are will

CHILDREN'S CORNER

---rET- as soon as Tommy Sparrow and
el Billy Robin learned that Bluey Black-
blrd and his mate had decided to niva
In tho pine tree on tho edge of tho garden,
they knew that troublo was likely to
come and Indeed It did! Nobody, not
even a pleasant-tempered person llko
Billy, could live by Bluey Blackbird with
out a fuss. Bluey wouldn't let them!
If they didn't llko what ho did, tho way
he bossed everything and the way he
gobbled all the best food In sight, he
quarreled about that. And If they were
too polite to let him know they didn't
like him, . ho quarreled about that'
Nothing suited him and ho spent the best
part of every day fussing and stewing
about something.
No wonder Tommy Sparrow and Billy
Itobln hated to see him movo near their
home.
"The thing I can't bare," Tommy con
fided to Billy as soon as they knew
Bluey Blackbird meant to sta, "Is thla
he will fuss so much that I will be
tired of fUBsing and I won't get to do
one bit of quarreling myself!"
Billy Robin laughed. "That will ho a
good Joke on you, theni Tommy," he
eald, "and think of the fun wo can have
instead of quarreling. If he makes you

"You needn't aBk. him about the worms
In this garden, Mr. Tommy Sparrow," he
aid, haughtily, "for those worms belong
to me! You get yours somewhere else!"
For a minute Tommy Sparrow couldn't
say a word he was so surprised!
Then he found a scrap of his voice and
Answered, "What a rude way for you
to talk. Bluey Blackbird! I should think
youd be ashamed! Those worms be
long to whoever gets them first. That's
how it always has been In this garden
and that a how It alwajs will he!"

The Daily Story
When Betty Spoke
Uctty peeped out cautiously. She would
not have them see her for a fortune.
Yes, there was Bert, the centre of the
Jolly crowd, and Addle nt hli elbow,
That had been her, Betty's, place for so
long that It had come lo bo consldcred
And It might have been hers yet If Bert
had not Oh, well, of course, she was
some to hlnmcl It was not nil Bert'fl
fault. She ndmltted that reluctantly, for
Hetty thought n grent deal of her llttlo
self. He was dreadfully provoking, but
lliey would have made up weeks ago it
she had not gone lo such lengths and
reared nn Impassable barrier between
them.
"And that's the truth. Hetty Brown'"
sho apostrophized now "Why did I do
such a ridiculous thing? I might Just
havo said I'd never speak lo him again,
girls always say that! And I ought to
havo stopped there; but when he grinned,
so knowingly, ns If there was nothing In
that, ns there Isn't usunlly, I let It
provoke me Into declaring that If I ever
did speak to him again It would he be
cause I had made up my mind to marry
him! Why, It will be the same as propos
ing If t eer upcak to him now when
I've evaded 1 can never do It!" she
sighed,
llert had not been grenlly crushed by
her ultimatum. He spoke to her cor
dially nt every opportunity In spile of
her tionrcspnnse, with something UUe
elated expeetnncv hi his manner that
stung nott. to a more determined stub
bornness. "I suppoHe ho thinks I will! Hill he'll
see'" sho said, firmly.
She had persisted In Ignoring him Icily,
until nt length he seemed to concludo
that It was hopeless, and avoided meet
ing her. All the time, of course, Betty
had been hoping ho would, somehow,
make her speak, though she would not
havo confessed It, nor the disappointment
sho felt ut his finally abandoning his
efforts nnd accepting the situation
She flirted desperately, which gave her
small satisfaction, as it apparently did
not disturb him In the least. He flirted,
too, and so fervidly that It began to look
serloiiH In regard to Addle Stark. Betty
felt that she was losing nil tho fun of
life, nnd all the Joys as well.
Sho hod simulated successfully n gaiety
of spirits almost boisterous at the moon
light skating party, but had really been
so miserable at seeing those two, Bert
ond Addle, gliding nbout, always to
gether, that she bad determined not to
go to the coasting route. Sho had re
fused all offers of escort, but now, at
the passing of the gay party, she sud
denly chanced her mind, whipped on her
suit, tucked the becoming cap np her
curls, and darted after Ned and hli
chum, who had Just started.
"Tagging'" Ned chaffed. But he made
no oojectlon, for Botty wns ns good at
coasting ns any boy of them, fully as
fearless and ns flcol-footcd, nnd now she
rushed with them down alloys, through
back yards and over fences, going across
lots tho nearest way.
Thus when tho crowd orrlved. Miss
Bettv was triumphantly s.iillng down tho
longest, steepest courso with tho yelling
boys, cheered by the mob of town youths
usually on the hill.
Most of tho girls confined themselves
to the short, easy slope at the side, un
less In charge of a strong, capable escort.
"It Is dangerous, Just with those boys,
Betty," remonstrated her friend, Alice
Hoover.
"And It Is unladylike for a girl to go
floundering down with a gang of fel
lows," commented Addle Stark, super
ciliously. "You don't dare to, that's nil," Betty
retorted.
"I'm not tho only one. Bert said"
Bert's appearance cut short tho speech,
nnd laughing shrilly,' Betty rnn away to
the boys, nnd coaxed them over to a still
steeper spot, where only the more skilful
and daring ventured. Her blood was boil
ing' So Bert had been criticising her to
Addle' It seemed tho boldest treachery!
As for Addle the llttlo cat! sho was on-
lous because she had not tho courage to
undertake the long descent. She looked
scornfully over nt Bert taking tamo little
flights, with Addle clinging to him.
shrieking In exaggerated fear. Betty
knew how ho loved tho rush of tho long
hill with the bounce at the end that sent
them flying across tho bottom. They had
tnken It together many times. Now It
was unladylike of her, was It? and sho
with her own brother!
Her Indignation grew, nnd with It her
recklessness. Little by little Hhe drew the
boys lownrd the post that bore a danger
sign, which mnrked tho limit of tlm
coasting giound. Beyond the post the
hill was fine, but nt the foot tho tailroad
swung up ngalnst It ns It curved to crbss
the river, and It was not easy to see n
train till It was closo at hand. It was
plainly no place for coasting, though a
few ventured at times, the spice of dan
ger adding zest to tho sport.
Hetty had always wanted to swoop
down and tly across tho track, perhaps
catching sight of an oncoming train. It
would be thrilling! But eke had no In
tention of undertaking it now, though In
the mood to go ns near it as possible.
"Look out, Ned!" some ona called.
"You're getting too close there! Better
come back!"
"You're so close now a little bump
would throw jou on tho track. Don't
you see that, Betty?" Alice Interposed,
anxiously.
"Oh. Betty wants to show off!" Addle
sneered, and unfortunately, at the same
instant Bert commanded:
"Neil, you boys bring jour sleds
over hero at oncel You'ro foolhardy!"
With scarlet cheeks and flashing eyes,
Betty snatched a sled and ran to a point
directly over the railroad and prepared
for n downward flight alone, Command
her, would he? Of course, he meant her!
She'd show him! There was an uproar of
warning shouts from the young men and
shrieks from the girls, but Betty was too
nngry to heed. As she started another
Bled shot down diagonally and midway
the hill ran Into hers, throwing them
both Into the deeper snow, where they
rolled over and over, and brought up at
lost In a tangle on the brink of a plunge
Just as a train swept along below.
White and shaking at the narrow
escape, Betty took herself oft the head of
her leseuer, sobbing;
"Oh, Bert, Bert! Have I killed you?" At
the Instant of collision she had seen who
It was attempting to stay her foolUh
flight at the risk of his life. She had been
too angry and excited to understand that
a train was coming but she had been
Bllly-so slllyl
She covered her face as Bert sat up,
sang as he brushed the snow from his
eyes.
"It's got to be soon, sweetheart, so I
can take proper care of my wife!"
"But you called me unladylike to Ad
dle, and this would be"
"It's a mistake. When Addle called you
unladylike I said you were just a good,
sweet, wholesome girl, and no finicky
lady," he explained, adding calmly: "They
think we are nbout killed, we are so Jong
stirring; they'll be on us in a minute; but
we'll sit here till we understand there's
no going back on what you said. You've
spoken to rne, you know."
"Y-yes," she admitted, faintly.
"And you'll fulfil your word soon?
Thei're most here'"
"Y yes," sbe said again, blushing hot

SAYS CHMSTOBAL I'AXKIIURST
English Suffragette Lender, Fnvoring
Wnr, Is Glad of It.
LONDON, May 5.
"I mn most pleased that tho congress
proved to be a flnsco, because It wns
too much dominated by the suffrage
movement, which by Its nature cannot
ho of International scope," says .Miss
Chrlstobal Panhhurat This Is fortunate
for the movement, for If It could bocomo
Intel national the Hermans would control
and domlnatn It ns they nnvo socialism
and use tho cause to piomoto pan
Oermanlsm. "English women Insist that tho war
bo carried on to Its bitter end. Thl
Is amply shown by the largo proportion
of married men who are enlisting with
their wlvos' approval. Tho only women
who want peace are Americans, arid
they want It becauso their nation Is not
at war with tho Kaiser, and cannot,
therefore, understand what a war with
tho Germans Involves."
Miss Fay Compton
"Yes, I llko America, Immensely," said
Miss Fay Compton, tho popular young
English actress who Is making such a
success hero In "Tonight's tho Night,"
"This Is my very flist visit, and If It
woren't for tho war I should be quite
happy! Isn't tho war too dreadful for
words? Ye.", I have relations In tho war,
of course. I think that every English
woman has. And tho dreadful thing Is
that It all seems so useless, so pui pose
less! The war goes on and on, and no
fort of decision Is reached! The loss of
life Is so terrible, too."
"What do you think of American au
diences?" "Thoy are delightful," said Miss Comp
ton, "and so appreciative! Every actress
Is Immensely scnsltlvo to atmosphere,
you know, and can tell right away
whether nn nudlonco Is going to bo In a
good humor or not
The career of this p. etty actress has
been n most Interesting one. The daugh
ter of a famous English actor, sho was
married at the ago of IS to Pellssler, tho
celebrated head of "The Follies," and two
years after was left a widow with a
llttlo boy. She Is now married to an
other very popular English actor, Laurl
de Frece, and Is having a very success
ful stage career.
"No, I have never had a singing lesson
or a dancing lesson In my life," continued
Miss Compton, "theao things Just seemed
to come naturally. I love the stage, hut,
of course, It Is awfully hard wurk! It
Is, In fact, tho very hardest profession
ono could undertake Tor all the time
ono Is "living on one's nerves," so to
speak, and tho strnln Is very great. He
hearsals nro such hard work, loo! Then
n erv great deal of success depends on
sheer luck. A gill may have lots of
talent, but If she doesn't have a fair
I'liaiKo to display It In a good part, sho
will never become known nt all. The old
Idea that the talented girl will always
come to the front Is a fallacy. Yet, in
splto of that fact, I would strongly rec
ommend tho stago as a profession for
the ambitious girl who wants to make
a success nnd who has lota of energy nnd
untiring patience'"
