This Is Until but belntcd vindication of nn opinion formed long age. Were It net co hew are we te account for the uncanny precision with which an experienced player escorts his unsophis ticated victim te certain defeat? What Is the "poker face," celebrated In busi ness, diplomacy, every contest of wits, mind against mind, save the consum mation of years of training of the emo tions until they are completely subject te the will, and facial muscles respond te the determination net te disclose by even the tremor of nn cyclnsh what lies I behind the mask? Skill. Surely It Is, , as any trained player of the game will tell. Nene knew this better than these ; whose long devotion te the game hRve . slvcn right te speak, ns they seldom de, ' for conversational poker bears the same relation te the real game that "Old .Maid" docs te whist.

Efficiency Bug's Latest Te the Editor of the Evening Publle Ledger: Sir A new kind of efficiency "bug" has been making itself evident en the hoiizen In some parts of the country. I'p te date I haven't noticed it making any particular progress in this neel: of the weeds. This new bug has figures, statistics and ether mattT te -liew that Mimmer vacations for school children aie wasteful In time, in money and in energy. They ought, he proclaims, te be eliminated or shortened, the time thus s.aved being spread ever the year in shorter school days. Efficiency experts, eliminators of the joy of living, uplifters and watchdogs of the public cen-ifipnce, of course must make a living, and te that end thej .'n far afield in their efforts te reduce life te n cut and dried standard. The offer ing of this particular member of the efficiency family te my way of thinking is a nuisance of the first degree. In the case of very jeung pupils It might be possible, even advisable, te shorten school hours, but te elin.1 nate the two or three months' vaca tion new enjoyed by the school chil dren ought te find no favor in any quar ter. A long play period la absolutely essential for the health n'nd physical growth of lads and lassies of school age. The school year is long, and be fore its end the confinement, the ap plication te lessens, the lack of outdoor sports and activities during 'the winter months are apparent In the health and spirits of tlm pupils. They react mere speedily te the open and Its pastimes, the games and sports, the free ami joyous life of the great outdoor". Te eliminate this season of play owl recreation and scatter it through tli school j ear by shortening the hours of .study would defeat the very object it Is wi-hed te obtain. It would mean phj 1 cal deterioration and the continuous zrind at textbooks and school tasks would seriously interfere with inatciil i pMgrpas in education. The school chil dren nceil their nlay siaMHi, ni.ti there j little danger of its being taken away from them, EDWARD S. .IONICS.

Something very like n family feud has developed in America. Seme members of the national household cannot speak of the ethers without resorting te epi thets. Men ordinarily calm, friendly and reasonable work themselves Inte a rage in discussing industrial conditions and they heap denunciation en capital and labor, according te where their sympathies and interests lie. And new we have the ominous speetaelp of armed troops at the mines of our own Penn sylvania, prepared te meet ti possible outbreak, the possible results of which are fearsome, te contemplate. The third pnrty te these labor dis putes deserves a hearing. He or it is the general public. Necessary aH fuel nnd transportation are, yet no one should adept the selfish view that the conditions under which they urc secured are no affairs of the people at large, a permanent settle ment of this family fnlling-uut must net overlook the just claims of werkingnien or of property holders.

Treatment for Drug Habit Te the Editor el the Evening Puttie Ledger: Sir Fer the period at thirty-seven years after graduation from the Uni versity of Pennsylvania medical school I practiced medicine In Philadelphia. And because of the fact that I treated two prominent members in the so se called secinl set of Philadelphia for the morphine and cocaine habit successfully I was called upe;i te treat probably n larger number of this class of patients than falls te the let of the average gen eral practitioner. And I can say, from the knowledge gained by this experience, that every individual case that I have ever treated, in whatever station in life, was most deilreus te get well and be free from the blighting curse of u drug disease. It has been my opinion for a long tlme that if the stigma of crime were removed as applied te this class of ill ness and these cases could receive proper and scientific medical treatment, under environments which would consider thcin 111 without the stigma of the crim inal : if n proper hospital were pro vided where these patients could be requested te go and remain until cured without charge, nnd if advisable com pelled te go and remnin until cured, very much mere could be accomplished than is new accomplished "by the ex isting methods.

Will you kindly state the origin of the name? T. W. CAHILL. Philadelphia, July 23. 1022. Peacen Hill was se called from the fact that the publle beacon was placed upon Its summit.

Vernen Teu may talk about the new songs That you hear sung nowadays At the fashioned, classic concert. Operas, musicals and plays. We hear them whistled in the street By the rich, peer, sad and gay. But ths old-time songs of long age Will ne'er dim nor pass away. There were "Mellis Darling." "Juanlta," "Bessie Lee." "Old Uncle Ned." "When Teu and I Were Teung, Maggie," "Put Me in My Llttle Bed," "Annie Laurie," "Kitty Wells," "Old Oaken Bucket," "Nellie Gray." 'Wh'en the Cern Is Waving, Annie," "Daisy Dean" and "Maggie May."

Te hear these songs of old, "In the Evening by the Moonlight." "Silver Threads Among the Oeld."

In my heart I thank ths author Makes no difference where I ream Fer giving us the dear old ballads "Down In the Cornfield," "Old Felks at Heme."

The car stepped. Tallcnte held Lady Alice's hand as he had seldom held the hand of a woman in his life. A curious incapacity for speech checked the words even upon his lips. "Thnnk you," he faltered. Upen the moor above Martlnhee and the farm lands adjoining, spring had fallen that year as gently as the warm rain of April. Tallcnte, conscious of nn unexpected lassltude, paused as he reached the top of the zigzag climb from the manor nnd rested for a moment upon a block of stone. Belew him the forests of dwarf oeks which stretched down te the sea were tipped with deli cate green. The meadows were like deep, soft patches of emerald verdure; the fruit trees in his small walled gar den were pink nnd white with blos soms. The sen was peaceful as. an azure lake into which the hulls of the passing stenmers cut like knives, leav ing behind a long line of lazy foam. Lit tle fleecy balls of clouds were dotted across the sky, puffs of soft wind cooled his checks when he rose te his feet and faced inland. Soen he left the stony read and wnlked tinen the serlncv turf border ing the moorland. Little curlcd-up sheets of light green were springing from the bracken. Here nnd there a finmn of cerse filled the air with its fnint. almendlike blossom. And the birds! Farmlands stretched nwny en his left-hand side, nnd above the ten der growth of corn, larks invisible but multifarious filled the air with little quiverings of melody. Blenting lambs, ridiculously young, tottered around en this new-found, wonderful earth. A pair of partridges scurried away from his feet; the end of a drooping cloud snlnshpil his face with a few warm raindrops. Tallcnte, ns he swung onward, car rying his cap in his hand, feit.n greet glow of thankfulness for the impulse which had brought him here. Already he was finding himself. The tangled emotions of the last week were loos ening their grip upon his brnln nnd consciousness. Behind him Londen was in an uproar, Ills name and future the theme of every journal. Journal ists were besieging his rooms. Em bryo statesmen were telephoning for appointments. Great men sent their secretaries te suggest a meeting. And in the midst of it all he had disap peared. The truth us te his sudden nbsencc from town was unknown even te Dartrey. At the very moment when his figure loomed large nnd triumphant upon one,of the grent canvases in his tory he had simply slipped away, a dis appearance as dramatic ns It was op ep nnrtune. And nil because he had a fancy te Bee hew spring snt upon the mnnrs nnd hecnuse he had walked back t ''is rooms by wny of Charles street nn1 bccftuse.he had mct Lady Alice. The last ascent was finished nnd he low hlni lay the house and climbing weeds weeds that crept into the besom of the hills, the closely growing trees tipped with tender greens melting into the softest of Indeterminate grays as the breeze rippled through their tops like fingers across a harp. The darker line of moorland in the background, scant as ever of herbiage, had yet lest its menacing bnveness and seemed touched with the faint color of the earth beneath, nlmest nlnk in the generous sunshine. The avenue into which he nresentlv turned was starred en either side with n riot of primroses, running wild into the brambles, with Here and there a belt of bluebells. The ntmesnhcre beneath the closely growing trees limes, with great waxy buds became enervating with spring odors and n momentary brcathlessness came te Tallente, fresh from his crowded days and nights of battle. The sun-wnrmed wave of perfume from the trim beds of hyacinths in the suddenly disclosed garden was nlmest over powering nnd he passed like a man in n dream through their sweetness te the front deer. The butler who admitted him conducted him at once te Jnne's fnnctum. Without any warning he was usherpd in. "Mr. Tnllente, your ladyship." He had a strange Impression of her as she rose from a very sea of news papers. She was thinner he was sure of that dressed in indoor clothes, al though it was the middle of the morn ing, n suggestion of the invalid nbeut her easy chair and her tired eyes. It seemed te him thnt for a moment they were lit with n gleam of fear which passed almost instnntnneeusly. She had recovered herself even before the deer was closed behind the departing bervant. "Mr. Tallente I" she repented. "Yeu! Hut hew is this possible.' ' "Everything is possible," he an swered. "I have come te nee you, Jane." She was glad but amazed. Even when ln liml elieved her involuntary cesturc and seated himself by her side, there was something incredulous about ner expression. "But what does it mean that you are here just new?" she persisted. "Ac "Ac cerdiris te the newspapers you should be at Buckingham Palace today." "Tomorrow," he corrected her. "I hired a very powerful car und metered down yesterday afternoon. I am start ing back wlien the moon rises tonight. Fer these few hours I nm better out of Londen." "But why " rhe faltered. He was slowly finding himself. "I cniiie for you, June," he said, "en any terms anyhow, 1 came te beg for your sympathy, for some measure of your affection, te beg you te come back te Charles street. Is it tee late for me te abase myself?" Her eyes glowed across at him. She suddenly rose, came ever nnd knelt by lh slde of his chair. Her arms went, around his neck. "Andrew," bhe whispered, "I hnve bepn ashamed. I was wrong. That night thn thought of my pettiness my foolish, selfish fears. Oh, I was wrong 1 I have prayed that the time might come when I could tell you. And if ou hadn't come, 1 never could have told you. I couldn't have written. I couldn't have co.ne te Londen, But I wanted you te knew." . She drew his head down und kissed him tumn the 11ns. Tnllente knew then why he had come.

"I haven't been well," she admit ted. "I rode some distance yester day nnd it fatigued me. Somehow or ether, I think I have had the iteling, the last few weeks, that my work here is ever. All my farms are sold. I have really new no means of occupying my Hmn "It Is fortunate," he told her, with a smile, "that I am able te point out te you a new sphere ei useiumess. She made n little grimace at him be hind Parkins' aueust back. "Tell me." she asked, "hew did you erns mnlrn vnnr neflpe with the traded unions after that terrible article of yours?" "Because," he replied, "except for Miller, their late chief, there arc a grent many highly Intelligent men con nected with the 'administration of the trades unions. They realized the spirit in which I wrote that article and the condition of the country at the tlme 1 wrote it. My apologia was accepted by every one who counted. The publi cation of that article," he went en, "was Miller's ncheme te drive me out of politics. It lias turned out te be the greatest godsend ever vouchsafed te our cause, for it is going te put Mr. Miller out of the power of doing mis chief for a geed many years te come." "Hew I hated him when he called here that day!" Jane murmured rem inlscently. "Miller is the type of mnnr" Tallente declared, "who was always pulling the Laber party in a false position. He was born and he has lived and he has thought parochially.

"I was reading nbeut that," she reflected. "Hew wonderful it sounds 1" "The greatest power in the country," Tallente explained, "is that wielded by these trades unions. There will be no mere fights between the Government and them, because they arc coming into the Government. I am afraid you will think our program revolutionary. On the ether hand, it is going te be n Government of justice. We want te give the people their due, each man according te his worth. By that means we wipe out all fear forever of the scourge of eastern nnd mid-Europe the belshevlsm and anarchy which have laid great empires bare. Wa are net going te make the peer add te the riches of the rich, but en the ether hand we are net going te take from the rich te give te the peer. The sociological scheme upon which our plan of government will be based is te open every nvenue te success equally te rich and peer. The human being must bink or swim, according te bis capacity. Ours will never be n State-aided social ism." Parkins had left the room. She held out her hand. "Hew horrid of you!" she murmur ed. "Yeu are gibing nt me because I lent mv farmers a little money." He laughed softly. "Yeu dear!" he exclaimed. "On my ESSEX G0MERY us iN honor, it never entered into my head. Only I'want te bring you g radualiy Inte tha new wat of thinking, because I want se much from you se much help and sympathy." "And?" she pleaded. He looked around te be sure that Parkins was gene and, leaning from his place,, kissed her. "If you care for moonlight meter ing," he whispered, "I think I can five you quite a clear outline of nil that expect from you. She drew a little sigh of relief. "If you had left me behind,", she murmured. "I should have sat here and imagined that it was all a dream. And I nm just a little weary of dreams."
