Whenever trouble came a knocking at Phillppa's door alt kind friends raised hands of innocence to tin* skies and de clared thankfully that It was nobody's fault but her own. "lie had no earthly right to raise his hat and smile when 1 met him In the elevator." "lie had every right in the world," contradicted Elizabeth calmly. "If I had been In his place I should have come ri£ht down and called on you aft er you had acted like a lovelorn lunatic, Pippa." "It was not lunacy. It was Inspira tion," I'hllippa half turned from the piano to argue. "You weren't in the studio at the time, Beth, and you don't know a blessed thing about It.l wasn't even practicing 1 was cleaning up." Elizabeth smiled. She had seen Phi llppa's cleaning up process. It meant the hustling of everything disorderly out of sight, under the divan, behind the wardrobe, anywhere at all, so long as It was unseen. "And he sang my pet duet from 'II Trovatore.' Reth, It wan splendid. You poor, old heathen, you don't ap predate music a bit. All you tan un derstand are a few oily, dauby daubs or a pen and Ink sketch, but if you had only heard him" "If I had heard him 1 don't think that I should have flown to the win dow and warbled back an answer up a New York air shaft." "1 don't care." Phillppa's tone was lofty and her attitude belligerent. "I didn't care a rap about him personally, and I hadn't the slightest idea what he looked like, but the voice was divine It was the voice of Manrteo calling, and Leonora answered It for art's sake." "Well, Leonora bad better attend to her cleaning up and mind her own business. Now, she hasn't any cause for complaint at all, because Manrieo raises his hat to her in the elevator and says 'Howdy?' in neighborly fashion. Are you sure It was Manrieo?" "Oh, yes. He looks it," lliillppa spoke, with vague enthusiasm. "And Lafayette says that he is the new one In the studio over ours." "Well, you had better send Lafayette a little printed slip to post up in his elevator: " "Students may sing grand opera duets through the air shaft, but any promiscuous greetings In elevator will be followed by eviction.' " "I suppose the poor fellow was so amazed and delighted when he saw how completely I fulfilled his ideal of Leonora that he lost his presence of , mind " Philippa could be as sweetly, | simply and contentedly vain as Narcis sus among the water lilies. "Presence Of mind Is never lost." ! Elizabeth added a high light daintily to the left eye of an Italian fruit vend er on the canvas before her. "it Is , mislaid. As long as he didn't lose his heart he needn't worry." Phlllppa laughed and ran her fingers teaslngly over the piano keys. "I think he Is worrying," she said. But there were no more duets through the air shaft. If the occupant of studio 5, on the third floor, happened to be practicing her trills and quavers the occupant of studio 17, on the fourth floor, sat by his open window and Us tened. and when a full, rich tenor float- j ed down from studio 17 Phlllppa would tiptoe to the window and listen also and be glad and proud In a way, be cause somewhere in the golden tomor rows of hope success lay snugly and surely tucked away for the tall, brown eyed boy who Oared to greet Leonora in the elevator. Ho had "dared' only once. Long after even Elizabeth deigned to bow a comradely #ood day to him I'hllippa passed on her own way, a slim, arro gant, blond young person in gray vel vet and squirrel furs Elizabeth pre served a graceful posture on the neu tral fence. Warring factions were not in her line, but when she was sending out invitations for the monthly I»otcB picnic In studio 8 she did not think ft amiss to send one up to studio 17. Phlllppa was passing club sand wiches when Bobble Clarkson Intro duced her to the tall, brown eyed boy She did not drop the tray. Khe merely smiled most graciously and asked If Mr. Eliot liked club sandwiches made of a celestial combination of chicken salad, chopped almonds, olives, deviled ham and tabasco sauce. It appeared that Mr. Eliot did. In fact, be paced after the dispenser of oelestlal sandwiches all around the studio in a deliberate, determined, man overboard fashion, most disconcerting to the dispenser, until he finally cor nered her In the Japanese alcove and forcibly ttnlshed up the remaining sandwiches himself. "And he never even said n word about the duet." auawered later when she sat, like a TTtnlloo lAol, In a pink kimono on the bed and thoughtfully reviewed the evening, "lie's a gentleman and a scholar, and Bobble says he's all right; solid, old Maryland family and all that sort of thing; first name's Marbury Marbury Eliot He has only been lu New York a couple of months, and he doesn't like It very well. He thinks It's lone some He says we're conservative and clannish.' "There's a good remedy. Tell him to be a clam unto himself." Phlllppa shied a pillow at the scoff er. "Goose:" she said. "Cau't you see? He wants to to my clan. I'm going to the Czarga concert with him tomorrow." I "See? Of course I see/' <juoth Ellsa beth "One i'hllippa Yat« , s > founds! of the Society For the Prevention Lonesomeness to Strangers In NW| York, providing said strangers are gwß ( tlenien and scholars, from solid old families, and can slug duets and eat club sandwiches fur art's sake. I see the end." Rut i'hllippa only smiled and was si lent. It had been a most entertaining a Lid interesting twenty minutes spent In the Japanese corner. One\ yj view on life In general may cUtw owa siderably even In twenty minutes. It was two weeks after the Czarga roncert. Philippa came out of the Metropolitan Opera House as Eliot swung up Broadway. It had begun to snow at sundown, and there was the lull In trathe that comes on the grout white way l»-t\veen dinner time and the hour when the curtain rises. She was tucking a couple of"II Trova tore" tickets into her hand hag when he greeted her. "They're for Beth and me," she told him happily. "We live on strawberry Jam and crackers when the opera is in full blast. I'o you know 1 never go there but 1 wouder when my turn wiu come, don't you?" lie did not answer her directly. They hud crossed to the Sixth avenue elevated and were walking along be | side Bryant park to the station be fore he spoke to her. "1 am going homo this week to spend I Christmas with my mother in Mary land, and before I go"- A vagrant wind swept down upon them, and Philippa bent her head side ways to avoid Its sting. As she did so her eyes met tils in one swift glance. She was not smiling now. Her face was aglow with a curious, half frlght -1 ened expectancy. "Let's hurry," she said. "It's so cold." lie stopped short where only an au dience of sleepy cab horses could listen. "lU*fore 1 go I want to know if I may tell her that next year you will go home with me." Cab horses are very discreet. They did not even hear the answer. "But It won't happen until next Christmas, of course," I'hillppa ex plained over a cup of Ceylon in the studio that evening. 'Tntil Manrlco has won fame and fortune singing to his ladylove at the Metropolitan?" asked Elizabeth. I'hillppa stirred in another lump of sugar demurely. "Oh, Marbury doesn't sing at all, Beth," she said. "That was his room mate, Grahame Moore, who sang the duet with me. Marbtiry Is an artist." And Elizabeth, after one long look of enlightenment, smiled in fashion wise. "For art's sake," she said severely. "Fudge!" Chlnrac Advice to t;lrl*. Between A.

Ell Whitney, the inventor of the cot ton gin, got the germ of his great idea from seeing through the interstices of a hut an old negro work a hand saw among the freshly picked cotton stored within. The teeth of the saw tore the lint from the seed easily and quickly, and young Whitney (lie was bareij thirteen at the time> realized at once that a machine working a number of similar saws simultaneously would revolution ize the cotton growing Industry. lie said nothing to anybody, but set to work building models and experi menting. His difficulties were enor mous, for he not only had to make his own wheels, cogs, etc., but he had also first to forge his own tools and even to manufacture the paint wherewith to color his many plans and drawings. Hut he succeeded in the end, and, though the outbreak of war and other hindrances prevented the Invention from being actually placed upon the market until many years afterward, the first complete cotton gin ever con structed was built from those very models and plans and with scarcely a single alteration.

His companions expected a wild outburst of rage against themselves ami their country, but tin* boy did not speak, lie Just sat there, pale and deathlike, while tears poured from his glassy eyes. One of his friends went over to him and, touching him on the shoulder, said: "Stanislaus! Stanislaus! Come to yourself again, and we will avenge this wrong!" But the boy did not answer. In a few minutes the tears ceased to flow, the eyes turned upward, there was u heavy sigh, and Stanislaus fell dead from his chuir. The terrible shock had killed him. Kneeling round the body of their dead companion, the Russian students bound themselves by a solemn oath to work out the ruin of the tyranny which had thus disgraced their fatherland. They secretly met afterward, and their creed was thought out and settled. It was the result of careful thought and was not wildly absurd or hysterical. It was as follows: "Liberty In reli gious belief, freedom of the press and in public meeting, government on the representative system and the redistri bution of property." To secure these things they determined to resort to any measures even nssassination. And that has been the creed of the nihilists ever since.—Pearson's Weekly. Greek Sailor*.
