His letter began abruptly: ai
'"It's no use, uon ami, I love 0aU. ,
And when a man loves ;a woman,
Ifriendsip . 4but a( tone to ·a sra-. j
lag man. People priate e. the possi- ea
bilities of the platonic-and such fe
things may be. Yes, if each party be t >
as cold-blooded as a compressed air e2
machine. You may smile at this, i
questioning: 'Are not all beings com- Iii
pressed air machines?' My mind does li
not run along scientific lines. I take
little stock in the 'brazen Baals' and" t
;'talking f.lishes' with Which you are g
wont to satisfy all deep emotions. *
And 1,I you. Let the saying stand a
even so long as I live.
"What then? And you would fain le
shrug your shoulders. But, think a
moment, friend of mine. You may
burn incense before many altars-yet
what gift can the gods bestow that
shall equal the love of man-strong,
tender, unfaltering? You will say that
for praising my own wares I am close
second to a Jew. True. But a modes
ty that stands between a man and
his happiness is a foolish modesty.
"Dro I not know whereof I speak?
Seeing taut it has forced me to risk
my all upon a single throw' You
smile-there in your pleasant sea
green serecnity-saying: 'A man's love
is not his all.' 1any there ble who
will aoi ne with you; yet what says
the inspired Paul of Tarsus? 'If 1
have rot love in my heart 1 become
as a tin pan hi. at'n lby sticks'-or
something to that effect.
"'lo rot answer this for ten days,
mon ami. Give the gods of chance
an opporturity to thr'ow their dice in
my favor. Would to the Lord I could
load the dice.
"Do not doubt my sincerity, for I
tell you straightly that should you
find it impossible to give me love for
love my life will be worth no more
to me than a bad egg-though the
chances are that I shall go on living
pretty much as the next man does.
Custom and culture, like American E
manufacturers, strive steadily to re
duce individuality to a 5ixed standard c
-that if one part be broken or mis- s
laid its substitute may be readily sup- i
plied.
"But, dear, though this is true of g
the surface, there are myriads of
men striving to content the" Ives s
with shadows instead of sulb. nces:
and dear, dear, man of few fears that
I am, my heart fails me at the thought i
of such a life-day after day without
you.
"Mon ami, I know well that you
laugh at love, yet I lay my love be
fore you. Know, also. that you have
bitter prejudices against matrimony, f
yet I ask you in all seriousness to
become my wife. What reply can you I
make? A quotation from the prince
of stoics? I fear so. And yet 1 am
not so unlovable. Women have loved .
sorrier specimens of manhood. Ah,
but I know, you are not one of those
women.
"0, woman, woman strong of heart t
and steady of nerve, why could I t
not be content with pleasant talks
and easy relations? Why cannot a
man live on stones that are plentiful I
rather than on loaves that are dear?
Curse a pen for a soulless instrument!
Why can I not take you in my arms
and force you to feel the love In
my heart-beats and on my lips? Why?
His letter began abruptly.
Because of that greasiest of all greasy
altars-propriety. You have burned
, much incense upon it. Did it ever
Ioccur to you that it came hight
"Well, When all is said, 1 love you.

Baals and greasy altars. They have of
their uses and so long, as they be th
confined to their own sphere they
stand for good. For you will admit
the truth of this trite saying: 'There
is no virtue that may not by exag- tr
geration become vice.' To overdue F
is the crime for which humanity i
stands convicted. The dumb brute
alone knows how to let well enough i
alone. An ox could give Plato or
Aristotle lessons in philosophy. Still
we have been bitten by the bad bug,
Ambition, and the fever is in oUr
veins. We must go on or go down.
'No backward path,' through the high
e ways of the world. Only to keep the
face steadily toward the goal and
stamp on so sturdily as we may

se oms. o
"Brutal, you will say. Yet it is the
,d sesame of success. And, after all,
h, while there are stars overhead why

in 1 have yet been able to do, so I rest

course to be pursued.
"And this, I believe, answers yours
of recent date. Nothing has hap
pened since I saw you last, so I have
no news save, that to judge 'from
present appearances, I shall not be
burning incense this afternoon upon
that greasiest of altars."
It was several hours from afternoon,
if the man got up hurriedly and be
gan looking around for his hat.
Out in the park by the fountain he
drew' forth again that thin, typewrit
ten sheet. Crisp, correct and ever ac
cautious. Had he published it, she
would have stood unconfessed. For
a moment he thought of those letters
O" long ago, scented with violets and
tverflowing with sentiment. A letter
that any careless eye might read with
one smile for the gusa and the spell
ing. But this, this was for him alone.
He alone could read the delicious
meaning so cunningly hidden between
those rigid lines.
Good heavens, how could he wait
until the afternoon?
And then it occurred to him that he
need not wait.
y London Writer Describes Yerkes.

er saying that men are in their appren
ticeship until they reach the age of
o. 40 and that a business man is no:

2U5 that. The London writer who quotes
to him thus draws this brief pen ploture

Actresses and Race Horses. Ic
Following the example of Mrs. Lang- ci
try, who is by no means unknown in u
France, Parisian actresses are going b:
in strong for owning race horses. h
Most enterprising of all the French o
ladies in this direction is Mme. Ricot- p
ti, a famous beauty of the opera, one c
of whose extensive stud this year car- t,
ried off the Grand Prix at Auteuil, a
which is worth $20,000. Mine. Ricotti
started her racing stable in a modest
way in 1897, and has won since many
races, among them the Grand Steeple n
of Nice and the Grand Steeple of g
Paris. It was not so long ago that
the Grand Prix was won by another F
stage favorite, Mme. Louise Mascey
of the Comedie Francaise. t
Dan Sully in New Play.

rural play early next season, entitled
"The Old Mill Stream," by Fitzgerad

.a show, in which $250,000 will be In

were within reach of "The Bandits."
Frank Parker made the production at
the London Hippodrome, and one of
the features is a huge tank 130 feet
above the stage, holding 14,000 gal
lons of water. During one of the ex
citing scenes this water is dashed
upon the stage, washing away a
bridge weighing five tons, a four-in
hand coach with sixteen persons in or
on it, and a band of brigands. The
play calls for forty horses, two
coaches, 400 persons, four scenes. 120
tons of scenery and 128,000 galls of
water a day.
