As a boy be had been known at baseball to dispute the de cision of an umpire In his favor. Even the ordinary social lines were r^pel lant to mm. With such character there was only one thine that the young man could Ultimately Decome. Shortly after be became a reviewer et fiction for the Sun it happened that he met Florence. Florence was a Jolly Southern gtt-1, and had at comparative ly early age been left an orphan. It -was shortly after Florence had become § governess that ah· and Joseph mer Her face wae wholesome and practical rather than beautiful. For some weeka he never told her hie love. Thta one afternoon he took her to hear an ora torio. It may have been the effect of the music or of the tea ani toasv at th· Kostman cafe afterward, or of the long ride to Baltimore over the Washington plk*% The fact remains that when they climbed Into the touring car he called h*r Miss Bordeaux, and when they purred at the end of the journey he called ber Florence. One night there w us an air of mystery about her. "Shortly,'' she said, "you will see me lu a new light, Joseph." "I would not have you different," aald Joseph. "East side of Mount Vernon bridge, about six tomorrow," said Florence. "Bight," «aid Joseph. The next morning there was brought to hie room a large parcel of noveia from the Sun. H· groaned, because they meant work, and ere* the mAa| of novels is not pleasant If you are paid for It He tore bis mind away from romance In real 11/· and settled down to ro mance as it Is written, and the very first volume that he picked up was en titled "My Love of Bygone Days," by Florence Bordeaux. This, then, was the new light In which Florence was to appear. Bhe had written a novel and he wae to review It He wondered if the editor of the Sun would stand an entire column about an unknown genius. Joseph almost regretted that he had discovered three unknown geniuses the week before; It was likely to spoil the market He noticed the name of the publish ers with regret Florence would have done better to have consulted him. Then be read the book, and burled m« face In his hands, for that novel by Florence Bordeaux was about the most putrid thing In fiction that had polluted 1>1· chamber· for the last 18 montna. It waa «rone everywhere ; it waa wrong all through. Ther« Is su worse thing on earth than s bad historical novel, and this was a ver? bad his torical novel. Here, then, was conflict between love and duty. Duty was scratched and love walked In. By the evening be had written a column hailing Florence Bor deaux as the greatest genius that the century had yet seen. But his heart was broken. For once he had not been conscientious. He could not live with that stain upon his soul. So he de termined tu meet Florence on Mount Vernon bridge, take one long, last fare well , then seud off the review and then leave town and his growing reputation as a literary critic forever. Florence was a little late for her appointment and looked very pleased with herself. "Well," he said, "why did you not confide In met Why did you not tell me yon had written a book? Possibly my practiced Judgment might—" "What on earth are you talking About? I have not writhe aa* book Ï shouldn't bo so silly." "Then gome one else with your nam· has." "Has she? What cheek." She still laughed at Joseph, somewhat Inquir ingly. He had an uneasy sense that she was expecting him to say some thing and that he was not saving it. "Well," he said, "what did you mean, then, by laying you were going to ap pear in a new light?" "If you happen to be blind," «he answered rather snappishly, "I can't give you new eyes I" "Don't be cross, dear. Let's see—it'· the same Jacket you always wear, and the same skirt." "Oh. don't bother. I've got my hulr done differently, and I've got a ww hat. I don't want to talk about It. It you take no interest in my appearance there's no more to be said." The rest of hi· interview with Flor ence was far more pleasant. But Jo seph'· column review of the novel by her namesake was reduced to two line* ma the subject of literary rubbish. And j» ηι ΜΙ mrtwttm ί Meat Shortage Points to Need of Conservation. Plan Proposed to Establish Sanctuaries for Wild Lifo In the National 0^. RtNrvid Forçât·. ι Mr. Hoover predicts a meat famine I which will last for year*. As an offset j to this, Remsen Crawford writes In I Collier's, It Is propo-ed to establish I game sanctuaries in the national re- | nerved forests, where all kinds of big , game may breed unmolested, and bills legalizing such sanctuaries * > pend ing in congress. . The general movement for a great Increase of klllable big game In Amer ica has come to be termed throughout the country "the Hornaday plan." It gets its name from Dr. William T. Hornaday, director of the -oologlcal park la New York. Doctor Hornaday Is foremost among the naturalists of the country, vice president of Um United States Army league and trus tee of the American Defense society. For more than twenty year· this cham pion of big game has been sounding a warning to the American people that wild life was becoming extinct and that some day our desolated forests would be looked t( In vain for relief from a scarcity of home-raised meats. Bad congres* and the legislatures of several states awakened to a realiz ing sense of the Importance of pro tecting wild life ten years ago there might still be a food problem before the American public today, but It would be less of a calamity than It now is. Doctor Hormiday, a conservative, ac curate man, estimates that several mil lion head of big game would be avail able for the market annually If proper precautions had been taken a decode ago. He gives It as his opinion that even at this late day, if well-protected breeding place* for dear and elk were provided throughout the vast area of the wild timber and brush land* ι
