In the Matter
Of Elizabeth
By 3. T. STERN

There were two Elizabeth Lang
hams. For fifteen years they had lived
almost side by side, and neither of
them had learned of the other's exist
euee. Three hundred feet of metropoli
tan space aud several hundred thou
sand dollars separated them socially
and completely. The elder Miss Lang
ham resided near the middle of the
block lu a plutocratic white stone man
slou. At the corner of the same street
In a modest flat house lived the other
Elizabeth
Though neither of them was aware
of the circumstances, these two pos
sessed one link in common. Ills pur
ents knew him as .lames Carruthers.
His clients and professional friends
called him Jack, the coifliselor. Miss
Langham knew him as her oldest ami,
he hoped, her best friend. Elizabeth
Langham knew him as her employer.
Elizabeth l.anghan. often wondered
that Jim had selected her from two
dozen applicants for the position of ste
nographer In his legal establishment.
A callow graduate from a business col
lege, she had hardly hoped to gain ac
ceptance over a score of experienced
typists. The true reason—her name—
she never guessed. Still Jim had no
reason to regret his choice. Miss Eliza
beth was neat, pretty and hrlirht Jim
dictated to her daily, and she tran
scrlbed without an error.
Not so Miss Langham, the focus of
fifty bachelor aspirations. Jim tried
dictation there only once.
"Mr. Carruthers," said Miss Langham
coldly, "you are taking a mean advan
tage of our friendship. You have no
right to criticise my other friends. I
am proud to number Judge Newton
among my friends."
"But he's fifty if he's a day," Jim
persisted.
"So shall you be, Mr. Carruthers—
some day. Good night."
There were tears after Jim had taken
his departure, but that Jim did not
know. He did know, however, that
Miss Langham had dismissed him, and
he sorrowed accordingly.
"It's that fellow, Colonel Newton,"
he mused. "Since they've elected him
a judge Elizabeth has been indiffer
ent to me. Mrs. Judge Newton evi
dently sounds better to her young
ears than plain Mrs. Jimmy Carruth
ers." So he floundered homeward in
the slush of a winter evening nnd
nursed his first great sorrow.
Sorrow maketh a sympathizer.
Jimmy, blue and hopeless, became hu
manitarian In a week. One morning
when his stenographer, Miss Eliza
beth, showed him a court summons
which hud been served upon her, de
manding that she pay the sum of $250
forthwith or .suffer the entry of judg
ment for that amount. Jimmy simply
radiated consolation. "Who Is thl3
Mine. Nellie who is suing you?"
"I never heard of her," was the re
sponse.
Jim scanned the papers closely.
"Mine. Nellie," he said after he had
finished, "seems to be the trade name
of a being whose Christian appellation
is Michael O'Malley. He says you
ordered one blue dress of the value of
$250. He swears that you have re
fused to accept It, and lie sues accord
lngly."
"There must be some mistake. I
nov<-r ordered a dress one-fourth ns
expensive as that. Nor have I ever
laid eyes on Mine. Nellie."
"Where do you live?" he Inquired.
Her reply astonished him. "No.
Sixth avenue."
"Is that near Forty-seventh street?"
"It is on the corner. The side street
is very fashionable. This summons
must be intended for some wealthy
woman near by who doesn't pay her
bills."
When Jim saw that the papers were
signed In the name of the Hon.
William Newton, justice, his mind
was made up. He told his secretary
to have no fear. He was happy to
show his appreciation of her faithful
and long continued service.
He tried the cilse himself. His rival
sat on his ben hand glared savagely
at him at least that Is Jimmy's re
port of the judicial attitude.
As It happened. Mine. Nellie was not
present in the courtroom, having been
detained elsewhere on jury duty.
In his place he sent two of his as
sistants. One of them took the stand
nt once a florid faced lady she was,
who confessed amiably that she had
been a dressmaker for twenty-one
years and was approaching her thir
tieth birthday. "It's this way, judge,
yer honor," she testified glibly. "Mine.
Nellie sent the dress, and she sent
It back, saying it didn't lit. I didn't
have nothing to do with It, but the
lady In our house as dtd has assured
me that It fitted to perfection. Mine.
Nellie says Miss Langham should be
compelled to pay."
M.this point Jim felt called upon to
explain matters. "You see," he start
ed to say, "they've got the wrong"—
Judge Newton waved him aside.
"The Issue In this case Is simple. Does
the gown fit? That Is all. I would
like to ask Miss Langham u question
or two. Take the stand, miss."
Miss Langham did so.
"What is your name?"
"Elizabeth Langham."
"Where do you live?"
"No. Sixth avenue."
"You may retire to my private cham
ber and don the dress. The plaintiff's
eil>erts will accompany you."
Miss Langham commenced to weep.
"If you please. Judge Newton," she
stammered
"Do as J say," ne responded testily.
"The court will judge for Itself."
Five minutes later Miss Langham
reentered the courtroom clad In the
gown under dispute. Mine. Nellie's
expert beamed with satisfaction as she
addressed the court "You can seo
for yourself, judge, yer honor. It fits
without a wrinkle."
"I should call that an amazingly
good lit," said Judge Newton, frown
ing, adding hy the way of judicial con
cession, "and mightily becoming. It
tits, doesn't It?"
"Yes," said Miss Langham, "but"—
"That's all. Judgment for Mme. Nel
lie for the full amount."
Once more Jim rose from his chair.
"Won't you permit me to say a few
words? There has been a mistake."
"There has not, Mr. Carruthers, un
less It be your own In endeavoring to
defend a case In which the evidence Is
so palpably in favor of the other side."
On the way back to the office Jim
consoled his client. He promised to
appeal the case to the highest court
In the country.
In his heart he knew that the case of
Mine. Nellie versus Miss Elizabeth
Langham would never be heard In
court again

When Miss Elizabeth
i rom tier coupe at 0 o'cloclt
that evening she found her household
In an uproar. Mathilde. her maid, was
almost breathless. "If you please,
ma'am," she gasped, "there's a man In
the iwrlor a sheriff or something,
and he's been holding the best peach
blow vase these two hours. I sent for
the police. The police says he can't
do nothing. He told the man to wait.
There he Is now, ma'am, sitting on the
best gilt chair, with the vase In his
hand, ma'am."
The intruder advanced as Mtss
Langham entered the parlor. Yes, he
was a deputy There was a judgment
against Elizabeth Langham In favor
of Mine. Nellie. Didn't she remember
the dress she ordered from Mine.
Nellie?
"Hut I sent it back. It did not fit."
"Of course," said he suavely, "that
may have been the defense. A judg
meut is a judgment, however. Will jou
pay up or shall 1 make a levy?" he add
ed, casting longing glances at the vase.
"This shall not go unpunished. It is
an outrage," said Miss Langham indig
nantly. "Wait until 1 ring tip my
friend. Judge Newton."
"Your friend?" The deputy laughed.
"You will receive instructions from
him."
"1 have received 'em already. It was
Judge Newton that entered the judg
ment against you. Here are the papers.
This is his own writing."
One glance satisfied Miss Langham.
She bade Mathilde bring her check
book "I'll pay," she said. "In the
meantime you may release that vase
it is hardly a tea store souvenir."
That same evening James Carruthers
sat In his den, reading Dante's "Infer
no." He had finished "The Sorrows of
Werther" the day before. At liis elbow,
still to be perused, lay "The Joy of Liv
ing."
The telephone bell jangled twice, but
he did not hear. At the third call he
rose from his chair. A moment later
the volume went speeding on Its way
across tho-room.
This is Jim's end of the conversation
that followed:
"Represent you in the matter? Glad
ly. I'ald It, you say? Tried to take—
oh. my! Newton? Beastly impudence!
Called tonight after all that happened?
You treated liim right. Yes, d-e-a-r-i-e.
In ten minutes."
The next morning Jim Informed hts
stenographer gleefully that the Mine.
Nellie matter was settled out of court
and that she might retain the dress as
a gift. Later he called upon the deputy
sheriff.
"I am sorry, counselor," said the olli
clal, "that duty compelled me togo
against your client. Funny thing how
we collected it. I found the defendant
resided at Sixth avenue. I saw It
in the court record. She said so. Those
are flats and, says I, that Judgment
ain't no good. Afterward some one
rings this office up and tells me the de
fendant didn't live there at all. Says
she was a swell and lived around the
corner in Fifty seventh street. lie was
rlgtit too. She paid up like a lamb. 1
wonder who it was that tipped us off?
We got the money all right. Hut, say,
a guy that'll give away a lady like that
Is as mean as dirt. Eh, Jim?"
"Well, that depends," replied Jim,
"upon the motive."

I The Reckless
[ Hour A
By IZOLA FORRESTER
| Copyright, 1I«H, by Izo'a F"rre«ter
When she came out of tha theater
bit of the carriages hail g' ue except
! one. Some one stood beside it walt
' log.
She stood for a moment In the lobby
' entraneo and fastened the diamond
clasp on the chiffon and lace stole
around her throat. The pin had been
safe enough. She had volunteered go
ing back to the boxes for It, and had
found It sticking in the velvet arm of
I Aunt Victoria's chair, just where she
[ had left it.
"Did you think that I was never
coming?" she asked as he reached
the carriage. The figure turned
i quickly at the sound of her voice, and
she found herself looking into Thorn
ton's eyes. She caught her breath and
, B topped abruptly, startled and hesi
tating, afraid to let hlin guess the great
flood of gladness that swept over her
at sight of him. When one believes
a person to be in Manchuria It Is some
what bewildering to meet that person
alone on Broadway at 11 p. m.
He did not speak, merely opened the
door for her.
"There is some mistake," she paused.
"Of course there Is a mistake. There
always Is when I come In for anything
good. The fact remains that the rest
have gone and that I was told to wait
for you."
"Who told you to wait?"
lie took her by the elbow and helped
her imperatively Into the carriage.
"I was with Mrs. Culverton. She was
In the third box, and 1 was late. Then
Cully c.'yne along and took her home
himself. I believe your aunt told him
to wait for you, but he wanted togo
directly home, so I took his place. You
don't believe me?"
"Oh, yes, I do. At least 1 believe
part of it. You always twist the truth
and the fairy tale together so perfectly
one can only guess at which is which.
I believe that Mr. Culverton was asked
to wait for me."
Thornton ignored the discrimination.
I lb- was gazing intently at the pale
young face. It must be true all he had
heard at the club. She did not look
happy. It was Vic Wilmington's affair,
the digging up of Estevan. She always
had some two-for-a penny title tagging
after her. It was only three weeks off
now. The thought brought with It a
flash of recklessness. They would have
her for a lifetime. Tonight for one
short half hour she was his. He leaned
toward her suddenly.
"Gladys, are you sorry to see me?"
"Don't." Her eyes met his in half de
Bant entreaty. "It Isn't fair."
"Fair to whom?"
"To him."
Thornton's jaws squared aggressive
ly
"He hasn't anything to say about It
yet. You needn't be frightened. The
wolf won't car. you. Won't they even
let you be glad or sorry?"
"Don't; please, please don't."
"Say you are glad to sec me."
' I'm not glad to see you. You went
away of your own free will. I wish
you had stayed."
"Until lyvas over?"
"No, forever!" she retorted passion
ately. "I never wanted to see you
again."
He smihvl. It was Gladys* way to
make one last final charge when she
knew she had lost the day.
"You ne\er wan tec' to «»»e me again."
he repeated, "because you are going to
marry a man for whom you don't care
a snap of your finger, and you did love
me."
"I did not." She faced him with
proud, hurt eyes and flushed cheeks.
lie laughed with a riotous sense of
happiness In her pain. If he still had
the power to hurt her there was hope.
It was the reckless hour.
"You did, sweetheart, and you do
now, and you always will. You know
you will. Manchuria or the moon. It
won't make any difference, not if you
marry a hundred times, not if it's years
before we meet. I can always come
back liko this and look In your eyes
like this and see love In them like
this."
She met his steady gaze, defiantly
at first, then In open confession, as
he said, and before he knew It she
had covered her face with her hands
and w;m crying. He felt suddenly
helpless and ashamed.
"Gladys, don't do that I'm a brute,
dear. I'm sorry. I won't say another
word. I'm going back this week. Stop,
dear. Gladys"—
He deliberately drew her hands away
from her face. It was a dear face,
lie had carried its memory with hUn
around the world and it had brought
him back to the stnrting point. He had
i been poor—not decently, openly poor,
but living on hope and blue sky and
terrapin. There was another Darby
Thornton who bestowed spasmodically
unexpected and Irregular checks on an
undeserving grandson, also advice and
admonitions. The weight of gratitude
had become too trying. Darby had
never been able to even up the balance
between the acceptance of the checks
and the following out of the good ad
rice and the admonitions.
He had thought that Gladys had
known lie was next of kin to Job's
turkey. Everybody else did He did
not mind. In a way It rendered him
harmless with undesirable parties so
far as matrimonial Intentions were
concerned. Put Gladys was desirable
He had known that she loved him.
He had left the day after the accident.
It had been her frank betrayal then
that had shown him his course for her
sake. They had been on the train with
a party bound for the Whitney place at
Rosemead. There had been an accl
j dent in the tunnel to the train ahead,
and the one they were on crushed into
| the rear cars. In the darkness there
had come the sudden jolt aud jar of
grinding brakes. Some people came in
a headlong rush from the front cars,
and a woman's scream rang out shrilly
above all. He had just stopped be
; side Gladys' seat to speak with her,
and she was laughing up at him when
the collision came, it was over In an
Instant. All he knew was the vivid
tense of her arms clinging around his
neck as he caught her up out of the
seat and their lips had met for the
i first time with death three car lengths
Kway.
He had l*-ft Uosemejid that night.
It wns all he could <l<>. lit- thought
ebe wculd understand. If not, there
was no danger hut Mrs. Wilmington
would enlighten her.
The Manchuria business had been an
opening held out by the old Darby
Thornton for some time. It was a
chance to make good by going out there
and clearing up the old boy's mercan
tile interest* before the war broke out.
He hint Muck to it ami made good, and
the reward hail come most unexpected
ly when said old boy ha<J taken a no
tion to die comfortably uud ouoortuue-
ly nail leave Ills accumulated posses
sions to the prodigal In the far lawk.
There had been no thouKht during the
year of work but of Gladys, lie had
left on the first boat for home to claim
the promise of the tunnel kiss and had
found instead Estevan, a warranted
imported antique, tall, suave and
slightly gray, with aq eye out for
ready money.
The thought of It al' made him des
perate tonight. 11«- put her from him
almost roughly. In three weeks she
would be tlie Countess Estovan, chate
laine of some dinky little old castel
lated ruin in Austria. lie was sorry
that he had tried to see her, sorry he
had come back, sorry he had made
Culverton change places with him.
"You had better stop crying," he said.
"We'll be there in a few minutes. Es
tovan might not like it."
She smiled back nt him, her eyes
bright with tears.
"Ho you try to frighten the bad little
girl Into good behavior? Well, she
doesn't scare worth a cent. Darby.
Your bogy man is such a fragile, prop
er, tissue paper bogy man that the
bad little girl has decided ho isn't
worth being afraid of."
"What do you mean?"
"Can't you guess? You expect others
to be so good at guessing, you know.
You expect to kiss a girl and go away
to Manchuria—or was It the moon—
and then come back and find love In
her eyes. What was it? Like this?"
She was laughing at him. He felt
angry and obstinate.
"Can you say that you never loved
me?"
"No, I cannot." Her eyes met his with
calm, defensive candor. "Of course
! loved you. I>o you think I would
have kissed you that day if I had not?
And you are right about the other too.
I shall always love you."
lie bent toward her with keen, half
shut eyes.
"And yet in three weeks you will be
his wife."
"No, I won't. I>o you think I could—
after tonight? I shall break the en
gagement tonight. You have accom
plished that at least. Now, take the j
first boat back to Manchuria."
He smiled slowly and happily. She |
had not heard yet of the accumulated ;
possessions.
"We've turned out of the park," he
said. "1 don't want togo to the house |
and face a crowd. Gladys, look at me. j
No, straight in the eyes, please! Try to
think quickly. I've come all the way
around the world to see you. I've al- j
ways wanted you, you know that. I |
was afraid before, and Iran away like j
a coward and didn't even give you the
chance to refuse uie. Will you refuse
me now*/"
"As If it made any difference?" Her j
eyes were clear and true and some- i
what indignant. "If I have enough
money to satisfy even Aunt Victoria
and her little count, isn't there enough
for you? If you go back there"—
"What?"
"I shall give away all the money and
come after you?"
"Come, now!"
Her lip were half parted, her eyes
wistful and troubled.
"It will be easy to come back and

Time saving is one of the most im
portant considerations in all surgery.
Anv major operation lasting more than
an hour ami a half entails an addition
al ri-ik. In operations of long dura
tion the chanees of recovery are com
paratively small. This is due to shock,
to the cumulative effect of the an
liestlietic, to loss of blood and to lower
ing <>i tiie patient's temperature by the
exposure of internal areas to the air.
Because of this the best surgeons work
with a meehanieal preeision and econ
omy of movement. Everything is ready
before the operation commences; an as
sistant i- at hand to I >ok after the de
tails of actual work, such as holding
back the edges of the iuel ion, adjust
ing the ligatures, etc.; an expert in an- j
aesthesia handles .he chloroform and
wateiies tiie subject's pulse and respi
ration in order that tin l operator's time
may l>c devoted wholly to one point,
and a deft nurse, adept in the use of
every instrument, needle and chemical
preparation, is at the surgeon's elbow
ready to hand out at a word some
times before the word the shining im

James Whilcomb Kiley, the dialect
poet, received tiie degree of doctor of
laws on Washington's birthday from
the 1 niver>:i,\ of Pennsylvania, says
the Philadelphia Press. Afterward ho
visited the Academy of Fine Arts,
where his p >rtrait by Sargent hung.
"While S rgciit was painting my
portrait," tl:* poet said, "he showed
me a copy • 112 an unusual epitaph that
one of his friends had sent him from
Virginia It was the epitaph of a cer
tain John Custis, and it read:
"'l'nder this Marble Tomb lies ye
body of Hon. John Custis, Esij. City
of Williamsburg and Parish of Brutou
fonnerlj of Hunger's Parish on the
Eastern Shore of Virginia, County of
Northampton, the place of his Nativ
ity. aged seventy years, yet lived but
Seven Years, which was the space of
time he kept a Bachelor's House at
Arlington.'
"On tiie other side of the tomb," said
Mr. Kiley, "these words were carved
upologetieail> :
" 'This Inscription put on this tomb
by his own I'ositive Order.'"
Broke tlie ltf(i:iil«tlmiii.
At one of the western army posts In
the days of Indian lights there was a
young lieutenant who was careful bi
see that tlie regulations relating to sa
luting were faithfully observed. One
day a soldier who was leading an ob
streperous mule to water and had both
hands fully employed In the task was
met by the lieutenant. The soldier,
who had an occupation which demand
ed ills undivided attention, failed to sa
lute the martinet, who Immediately
called him to account for his remiss
ness.
"Why do you not salute an officer
when you see him?" he demanded.
"You hold this mule and I will,"
calmly returned the man.
But the lieutenant did not Insist, and
the regulations were broken.—Philadel
phia Ledger.
I.oiiKfellon.
Conspicuous among the multitude of
famous and Interesting persons whom
Moncure D. Conway mentions In his
autobiography is the poet Longfellow.
At the time Mr. Conway was study
ing in Cambridge in 1853 Longfellow
was the professor of poetry in Harvard
university, and it Is plain that the af
fection and reverence the poet then In
spired In the young student have sur
vived the half century that has passed.
"Longfellow's personality was po
tent among us," says Mr. Conway.
"His modesty, his amiable man toman
manners toward the young, the absence
of alts or mannerisms, his transparent
Veracity of mind and respect for all
sincere opinions, were very engaging,
ne was universally beloved."
