mE DURHAM cuanmcu; “Civility. costs nothing” was one '- of the old headlines in the copv books of 40 wears ago. The adage 1 is just as ’true to-day as it was then. Though 'cheap. it’s aston- ishing how many go through life?! with a \erv limited supply of that . essential \irtue. Essential we sav I because it is needed exervuhere+ and needed bv all who wish to:‘ mingle xxith anv whose associa-| tions are worth hafing. Lack ofi‘ manners is e\ erv where anparent,‘ and manv of our younger people are boorish and uncivil to such ~ a;' degree as to reflect discredit onl their parents and teachers. A civili and respectful answer to a civil' and reSpectful question is the ex-‘ ceptibn rather than the rule. The boorish and uncivil conduct of boys and girls is an obstruction; to their own \\ ell-being. The} The loud. vulgar and profane bov. who runs nearly all to mouth. can never be held in respectable es- teem by a respectable portion of the community. Evidences of in- civility 'are not lacking here, more than other places, and the base and reprehensible conduct to be seen and heard at almost an y hour of the day or night is nocredit to! the rising generation. We often' wonder “hat the next generationi will be like if the exil should in--I crease with age. When a bow speaks of his father as “the old! man,” or in some equally (lisres1 pectiul manner, you may rest as- sured there‘s something wrong with the boy. This is one of the first evidences of Want of civility. and how often the first evidence is apparent. Civility costs noth- ing: be civil. DURHAM, SEPTEMBER 10, 1914.

MARKET REPORT l ...... , ............. .15 to LIVE POULTRY MARKET But Stanhope never realized this‘ last fact and only chuckled fatheadr edly when he heard of the mess his exhibition of monumental cheek (he called it a perfectly legitimate request ' as long as Trevis was going over to ' his rooms. anyway). had got his friend into. ! Trevis was good naturedâ€"always 3, has been and always will beâ€"but good nature may be carried to extremes. and 'i‘revis was an extremist. 1 Besides. how is a girl to know that . a man really cares‘the world and all for her if he seems so willing to step aside and allow a comparative stran- ger to take his place by her side just . because ‘she seems to fancy him for the moment? : When Trevis came back from col- ' lege (the one decent thing his close ', fisted uncle ever did for him was to . stake him to a pan of his tuition fees Eduring ,the four years» he brought j Stanhope with him. Stanhope. who believed the world was made for his particular benefit and all the people who composed his part of it were ministering spirits put here for his convenience. was at the bottom of the whole trouble and. if he had but known, lost most by it. l7 That’s the way Marion Harper look- ed at it. and I know. for she told my sisterâ€"and what those two girls don’t tell each other isn’t worth telling. They had (:hnmmed it during their scholastic course. and now they got modest rooms together. and eaoh start- ed to carve the figure of fortune out of his own particular bit of timber. Trevis’ task was a hard one. His timber was full of knots and weather cracked. as you might say. Stanhope walked into the counting room of a friend of his father‘s and obtained a good position at once. ‘ Theh Trev introduced him to Mar- ion. Now. Stanhope was a big. handsome fellow, an athlete of note in his col- legeâ€"just the sort of a man to attract a girl like Marion._ Trev was so quiet and modest that. although plenty of people liked him. they’d never have raved over him in a thousand years. They just took him as a matter of course. unless for some sudden reason they happened to stop and think over his stable qualitles. Then they told themselves be was really one of the very finest fellows they knew. Of course Marion and he had never really been engaged. for Trev wasn’t the sort of a fellow to ask a woman to tie herself to him until he was es- tablished in some business and had obtained a decent footing. But it had been understood between them for years. and everybody said that it would be one of those foreordained marriages that you read about. but so seldom manage to see in real life. But it came pretty near not coming off at all, and there’s a good deal of doubt in some quarters yet Stanhope was introduced to Mariofi at a little evening gathering at Ven- nables’ studio. Two nights after he met her again at a box party at the Gotham. The next afternoon they were automobiling through the park. After that it was flowers and calls and little dinners with Mrs. Harper as a chaperon. She’d never been called on to chaperon Marion and Trev. They seemed too much like brother and sis- ter. Oh. Stanhope was the sort of fel- low to carry a girl by storm. He made a regular San Juan Hill campaign of it. I reckon Trevis was the most stag- gered of all. But be was loyal to Marion and loyal to his chum. Trev stood by him as firmly as ever. He didn’t try to go back to the girl again. and Marion seemed to ' have broken out of the cbrysalis into a veri- table butterfly of society. She was on the go every night and began to attract attention from quar- ters that were not altogether safe. It was whispered that Latell had joined her train of admirers. and she certain- ly came to the Broughton that night with him and her mother. It was a shock to some of us. She looked royal as she went down the aisle. We had just come over from Venables’ and bought admission tick- ets and were standing behl'nd the rail on the orchestra floor as the curtain went up on the first act. And there Marion was sailing past us and down the center aisle, with her mother trailing on behind. looking a little bewildered. and Latell in the rear. with his mnStache cocked at a most disagreeable angle. I reckon there are times in a glrl’a life when even her mother doesn’t nno derstand her. especially if the mother has always been a quiet. “homey” sort of a woman like good Mrs. Harper. She never had two strings to her howln herllte. andastorthreoâ€" Well! The theater was crowdedâ€"it was when “Aurora” was having its higrnn â€"and the standees were packed in pret- ty tight behind the railing. It was one of those nights when. if you went out» door: without an overcoat. you wished at once that you hadn't. and it you did wear it‘yon felt that itwaa in your way. It was warm in the home. through me crowd and request mmno remove in As far as I could see. Stanhope was quite taken up with the snow. but from the moment Marion Harper bad c’omo in Trev looked disturbed. ' “I guess I won’t stay." he said in a low voige no me when the curtain came down on the first act; “I've seen it before. you Know. and I‘ve got some work to do tonight too.” Stanhope heard him. “I say, Trev. it you're going over to the diggings take my coat along. will you?“ He had put it back on the plush rail- izig again. and there were several oth- ers with it. The usher couldn't watch all the time. Stanhope turned his back at once and pushed through the crowd to speak to somebody he knew in a nearby seat. “Cheeky 'lad. Stanhope." murmured Venablesa bm; Trev picked up the coat and walked outwvithout a word. “Poor old Trev is hard hit." said I. “My, but Miss Harper is sailing pretty close to the wind!’ "I‘o appeal with that Latell. you mean?" suggested Venables. “Umph.” “She’s got queer taste to pick him out after a fellow like Stanhope.” “Or ’l‘revis.” Oh, no! Men never gossip. I noticed that Marion Harper had risen and was making her way up the aisle. with Latell. looking rather crestfullen, following. There was a long intermission between the two acts. Ivlooked around for 'l‘revis. but be had got out iutu the foyer. He Wore his own coat and carried Stanhope’s over his arm. As he passed through the gate and refused the re- turn check he told me afterward that the ticket man looked at him a little oddly. but he thought nothing of it un- til :1 commotion arose behind him. ‘ The audience was pouring out into the promenade. and a man was strug- gling through the crowd shouting “Stop thief!" at the top of his voice. Wéll, you can imagine the sort of a stampede that cry creates in a theater lobby. Trev was so near the door that he thought he‘d get out of the crush and let ‘em tight it out But suddenly his shoulder was seized by a uniformed employee of the house. "hoid him! That‘s the man!" yelled the excited individual in the rear. “He’s got it on his arm.", “Got What?" gasped Trev. “That’s my coat, you rascal!" shout- ed the man and snatched away the garment Trev had been carrying. The ticket taker came up then. "I suspected him when he wentyast me!” he declared. with the air of a Sherlock Holmes. “Bring Oflicer Bra- dy,” he added to the usher. “There’s too many of these fellows coming here to the Broughton." Then he saw a face in the crowd that turned his own scarlet. andsealed his lips as though he had been sudden- ly smitten with dumbness. “But I assure you this is a mistake.’ began Trev. - It was Marion. Her mother and La- tell were behind her. and Latell was grinning. He appreciated the humor of the thing. The comments of the bystanders would have scorched the self respect of a veritable thief. One woman de- clared he was “certainly a very vil- lainous looking person ” and an old gentleman suggested that “hanging was too good for these sneak thieves.” Trev, who couldn’t get his eyes ofl Marion’s face, saw Latell with a sneer Whisper something to her. Instantly the red mounted in a sudden wave from neck to brow. She favored her escort with a glance of scorn, and instantly pushed through the curious crowd. â€"“Marion! I implore you!” murmured her mother. but the girl-did not, or would not, hear. She went straight up to the ticket taker: “There is a mistake here.” she said. “I know this gentleman very well. He is Mr. Trevls»Mr. Paul Trevis. It would be utterly impossible for him to have taken thisâ€"this person’s coat.” and she froze the excited man with a look. “except by mistake.” Trev recovered himself. “Don’t put yourself to any trouble, Marion.” he said in a low voice. “It will be explained in a moment. Ah. here comes Stanhope now!” The ticket taker had dropped tha prisoner’s arm. Stanhope saw hi! chum. but did not realize what was taking place. "Hold on. Trev!” he exclaimed. pushing through. “Didn’t you hear me ask you to take my coat over home with you? You forgot it.” and he held the garment up. The crowd began to laugh. and the cocksure individual who had caused the disturbance slipped away. Then Stanhope sawMarion. “Good evening, Miss Harper." he said with some stiifness. ' But Marion and Trev had been look- lng into each other‘s eyes. “I am afraid you will have to carry your own coat. Mr. StanhOpe,” she said lightly, the smile coming back to her face, “for Mr. Trevis has 'just agreed to see mamma and me home. I really â€" . She had turned her back on Lateii and did not even look at him again as she went out with Trev. But I reckon she had reason for so treating Stanhope heard what Latell sneemd halt under his breath. however. and only the appearance of the tardy of. flcer stopped another hit of excitement In the lobby. Afterward Stanhope grumbted some over having to carry his coat himself. He didn’t see any deeper into it than v v90990906000900900946900000QOHO90000999900909.0000...09.00000000090990000 {it u H I e e . Ga .ml , . do". 0 I.
