LIBERTY BOND
SLACKERS GIVES
BADGE OF SHAME
San Francisco, Sept. 17.—What
to dc with Liberty bond, slackers
wa« one of the big questions dis
cussed At the Northern California
conference of Liberty loan chairmen
in Saa Francisco. Although "strong
arm" methods were discouraged, full
"moral suasion" was indorsed, &nd
i* was the opinion of Governor Jas.
K# Lynch of the Federal Reserve
Bauk and' a majority of the chair
men that the names of those refus
ing to subscribe, after being given,
a hearing, should be published in
the newspapers as a ''badge of
shame."
Reports were made by chairmen
to the effect that members of cer
tain religious Beets, said pro-Ger
mane of several stripes, were stub
bornly refusing to buy bonds.
Metnods adopted' by various com
munities were reported and' it was
agreed that diplomacy had obtained
'he rest results.
September 28 to October 19, were
discussed. Among the decisions of
the conference it was voted that it
*»e the sense of the conference that
the franking privilege Bliould bo
givei banks for sending notices to
loan subscribers; that county chair
men should appoint their own for
eign language chiefs, and that coun
ty chairmen should determine the
number of honor flag districts in.
their counties. - j
Campaign Manager George K.
WeeKs, for the Twelfth Federal Re
serve district, stated that the inter
est o* th« next loaai will be 4 1-4
per cent, and considering the next
loan at the lowest probable figures—*
six billions—the district quota will

that the work "of the Liberty loan
chit»f» iu each county was as import

and the fact that the loan workers
were active at hom« Instead of at

lessen their importance.

When Terry Brewster took a four
room apartment in the Harrington
Arms apartment .'house she described
herself as a "business woman," by
which sho meant to indicate that she
used her apartment for little more
than a comfortable roosting place, a
place to eat breakfast and to keep her
clothes. She did not take the trouble
to indicate to the real estate agent
that she was not a business woman In
the sense that she earned her own
dally bread. Her business was that of
linking in as much of city life In one
short year as she could—going to as
many concerts and theaters, attending
as many exhibitions and as many
"shows" of various sorts, lunching at
as many "interesting places," and In
general seeing as many of the sights
of the city as she conveniently could
without knowing many persons In the
city or wishing to know more. She
seldom went about in the evening. She.
felt somehow that her security in liv
ing alone at her age — for Terry,
though adequate to the task of tak
ing care of herself in almost any cir
cumstances, was only twenty-four—de
pended in a measure on her not being
seen out after dark. The evenings
In her little apartment she spent either
in mending and "pottering" over the
clothes that she wore'in the day time
or in reading accounts of things that
were to be seen or books of descrip
tion of the great city. Terry's life In
the small southern town where she
wns brought up had been decidedly
circumscribed. She had gradually
slipped into the position of being
housewife for her older brother in the
old homestead, and the only reason
she was excused from those duties
now was because of her brother's
year'3 volunteer work in Washington.
Terry's
Burglar
fiwi
By JANE OSBORN
Terry kept no mam but, line tne
other business women In the apart
ment, she was "taken care of" by Mrs.
Gray, who had the key to the apart
ments in her care and with lightning
like rapidity tidied them and washed
the breakfast dishes and made them
ready for the return of their tenants.
Terry had met Mrs. Gray the day she
negotiated with her for her sen-Ices,
and she needed no further guarantee
of her perfect honesty than her small,
pale face. She knew, too, that she
could dust the dainties of her bric-a
brac and wash the filmiest of laces
that she left for that purpose In her
apartment when she went out in the
morning because it was quite clear to
anyone who saw Mrs. Gray that she
was a woman who, had circumstances
been different from what they actually
were, might have been wearing the
dainty laces and treading the most
delicate of Oriental rugs herself.
Surely Terry trusted her — that Is
until the day that she came home un
expectedly at noon in order to get some
matinee tickets that she had forgotten
to take with her in the morning. On
that day she chanced to be looking up
toward the windows of her own rooms,
when she saw there in her own bed
room, not the figure of Mrs. Gray, but
the figure of a man. Terry was not
terrified at the idea of having a bur
glar In her house, but she did not
relish the idea of entering that apart
ment when she might encounter him.
Her first thought was to report the in
cident to the nearest policeman, and
it was with this idea In mind that she
turned about and started around the
block In search of such a dignitary.
She thought better of her idea and de
cided to go alone to her apartment—
but by the time she reached home the
burglar was gone. The apartment had
apparently been visited by Mrs. Gray
earlier In the day, for It was Immacu
late and there was a fresh scent of
soap and water about and the floor
looked as if the oil had just been wiped
up from it.
xerry muue a morougn searcu ol ner
possessions, she counted her silver
spoons and knives and forks and she
counted the butter spreaders, but ap
parently nothing w»s taken, nor did
she miss anything as time went on.
She looked under her bed and lounge
and In each of the closets, but no one
did she find. A strange burglar, In
deed, that would take nothing with
him.
Then came the day when she ac
tually ran into the strange young man
when she was coming unexpectedly to
change her hat because what gave
promise of being a rainy day had turn
ed out to be fair. She let herself In
with her latch key and there really
was no way for him to escape save out
the front door. Being at bay the young
man looked as if nothing at all ex
traordinary had happened and his ex
cuse was believable enough.
"I came In to examine the radiators,"
he said. "That—that's my specialty,"
and then going to get his hat and a
couple of hooks that lay with It from
a chair in the living room he made a
husty exit. In the apartment that day
there was the same very fresh smell
of soap and water and It seemed to
Terry that the young man's hands had
looked water soaked when she encoun
tered him. And she examined the
sliver and counted the spoons and
knives and butter spreaders. Nothing
was missfiijf.
One day she crept in stealthily and
encountered the young man on his
hands and knees scrubbing the kitchen
floor.
"I thought you were a business
jroman," he confronted her, standing
np with drlpplujj hands and revealing
a ticking apron tied about bis manly
young form. "You see, I thought all
these people were business people. X
didn't know they kept dropping In un
expectedly."
"Where is Mrs. Gray?" said Terry,
trying to appear very calm, although
she had a dreadful feeling that this
strange young man had spirited Mrs.
Gray awuy and was hiding his guilt
by continuing her work.
"Well, I'm as much Mrs. Gray as
any one Is," he said. "What difference
Is It to you?" Then apologetically:
"Pardon me, please, I didn't mean
that—but you see, I've been doing this
for quite a while and I have never been*
caught before. I Just couldn't see her
do It any more. We didn't want any
one to know much about us."
*1 think when I find a strange man
In my apartment two days and see him
in the window another I have a right
to know all about It," said Terry, with
some asperity. And then somehow they
went Into the little living room and,
seated there In one of Terry's com
fortable chairs, he told her all about It.
"You see, my father died Just when
I was finishing high school. He left
hardly anything—he'd lost It all in a
Wall street panic Just before he died.
Mother and he had set their hearts
on having me be a lawyer and I had.
too. Of course, I wanted to quit school
and go to work for her, but she
wouldn't let me.. She wanted to see me
through college and law course. You
know how It used to be with women of
her generation — they Just weren't
taught any money-making trade and
the only thing she could do that would
bring In enough money was to take
care of apartments like this. She could
uttend to the house at home first and
then come over here and do these
apartments. Well, she did that and I
worked after school. I couldn't endure
to see her do this, but I was bent on
finishing law iichool, because I knew
that then I'd be able to give her the
things she deserved. This winter It
was too much for me to see her doing
this work, yet this sort of work
brought In more than I could possibly
earn at stray tutoring or any of the
usual things students do. So I Just did
her work for her whenever I had a
few hours off nt law school. That way
I bring In enough to keep us both going.
I don't mind your finding out that I do
the scrubbing, but she'd be heart
broken. It Is a funny pride she has—
she wouldn't mind doing it herself, but
she couldn't endure to have me do
It."
Terry came over to the young man.
He rose beside her, and she laid two
small hands on his arms. "I think you
are the most splendid young man I
have ever met, and your mother, I
know, Is very proud of It HI never
tell anyone your secret, and I know
some day you will win for your moth
er alt the tilings she deserves."
Tlie next day Terry purposely ar
ranged to lie home when the young
man — Bet Gray—cane. Tve got
something to ask you," she told him.
"I'm dreadfully lonely hire, and I don't
like the Idea of living alone, anyway.
I want you to let me have your mother
here with me—to be a sort of mother
to me. She can potter around the
apartment If she wants to, Just the
way my own mother might, and what
that will be worth to me, of course, she
will have, and that will be as much as
you need to get from the apartment
tending."
Of course, Bob Gray remonstrated,
at first, but before a week had passed
Mrs. Gray was Installed as Terry's
"adopted mother," and a real mother
could have been no more congenial.
Bob had but a few months more to
spend at the law school, and the very
day of his graduation he told Terry
that he loved her and begged her to
marry htm.
"I couldn't do this," he said, "If It
weren't for what has happened. I
couldn't ever hope to be your husband
If I weren't sure that I would succeed.
I am sure, Just as every man must be
sure when he knows that the profes
sion he has chosen Is the right choice.
And today I received word from the
firm of Hewes & Tuttle that they
would take me In as soon as I pass my
bar examinations next week at a sal
ary to start of two thousand. I was
fortunate enough to have the help and
friendship of one of our best professors
and the appointment came through
Ulm. I am still unworthy of you, Ter
ry, but with something In the way of
prospects I have nerve enough to ask
you."
Terry took his outstretched hand In
both of hers and held It reassuringly.
"Bob, Tm surer of your success than
you are yourself. I knew you'd succeed
when I saw the way you scrubbed the
floors and kept at that drudgery to
save your mother." " '
George Eliot 8eldom Read.
George Eliot was a writer almost
omnipotent In her power to charm at
once the great multitude and the aus
tere critic of her time..
She was taken more seriously than
any writer of today ever has been or
ever will be taken.
Yet to the great bulk of educated
criticism of today George Eliot has
become a writer unreadable in herself
and negligible as a critical illustration.
Her character drawing appears to
be singularly wooden, her books with
out any form, her style entirely pe
destrian and her solemnity Intolerable.
And it is probable that it was this
very solemnity that gave to her worka
all the qualities that make them to
men In touch with the life of today so
entirely unreadable, so exactly like so
many heavy cakes. v
George Eliot was, In^ fact, a great
figure. She was great enough to Im
pose herself upon her day; she prob
ably never sought, though she cer
tainly found, the popularity of seogft-i
tlonalism. ' I
