SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1028 Ne | | The Man On Watch There are still Kingston people who weep at the movies a; gen- uinely as they do at funerals. The rain this waek kept away un- till Dr. Spankie's Wolfe Island fair was officially declared closed. What the island exhibition lacked in the way of a crowd it got in heat, There might be a special parking area arranged for Lpooners in Kingston so that the automobile spooning could be supervised. » --- 'hey are "seeing things' at Cat- a¥aqui. One would excuse a Lough- boro resident for seeing a rainbow at midnight, for out Sydenham way thev make the stuff that gives vis. ivns, It has been suggested that there is to be shakenup at the peniten- tiary as the result of the convicts escape. Why, bless you, the shake- up occurred many days ago--on the day of the escape. Everybody out there was shaking, except-the con- victs; Belleville is bragging because a patient ran amuck up there and knocked down a nurse. In King- ston hospitals thig kind of runny amuck has been common after pae- . lents have lapped up all kinds ot alcoholic mixtures, I sald that- the Midway that sho at the Kingpton fair did aot make any profit.

'No, sir--nothing dishones:. But it seems to me that it is based on such a technicality that it would scarcely be proper to go through with it. There are many lawyers who would laugh at me for taking this stand, and perhaps I am fooi- ish." "Then you refuse?" tone was expectant. "No," exclaimed the young man at last, rising and walking - about his office. "I don't refuse, Let me take a day to think the matter over." . Little sleep come to him that night, and the next. morning passed without bringing any solution of his problem. "I'm going to have some friends in to play bridge this afternoon," remarked Mrs. Belden at lunch. "I 'ope it won't disturb you in your work." The Beldens lived in an apart- ment. Belden had never quite real- ized' how small it was until that afternoon when his mother's guests began to assemble.' By Robert Russell. "That's the situation in a nut. shell, young man!" The successful man of business watched Belden intently, but~ the young lawyer was gazing out of the window of his small office, far across the river, "You have no idea, Mr. Jordan," he replied, 'how much I appreciate your coming to me with this case, but--"" "Well?" "] scarcely know how to put--it, but I don't exactly like--"' "If you do not want to handle the matter, say so at once," said Jordan abruptly. It was a hard struggle for Bel- den. He was a man who could; and probably would, give him busi- ness enough to make him indepen- dént, if he handled this particular case to his client's satisfaction. But all the ethics of Belden's profession protested againt bringing the pro- posed action. "What is your objection to carry- ing out my wishes?" asked the old- er man.

A "They will be playing in a little while," he thought, as the sound of laughter and conversation came to him from the front rooms. And before long, as he sat at his table, with Mr. Jordan's papers in front of him, there came a silence, and he knew that the game was on. But every little while his thoughts would be interrupted by a word from the players. Carefully he picked up a bulky document. 'Here ds my first difficulty," he thought. '"What shall I do about this?" » "Bridge it!" came from 'the next room. A faint smile crossed his race us Belden examined another page. "1 suppose," \he Muttered, 'that it I got Jordan's business, 1 should make more than I have ever made in any one year." "Double!" camg another female voice. He rose quickly and walked up and down his den. "What was it," he sald to him- self, "that old lawyer said to me the other day? He gave me cer- tain advice, and said that if I fol- lowed it I should wear--" "Diamonds!" came his mother's voice. Belden bundled up his papers, tiled them firmly together, and plaeed them on the corner of his table. He scofféd at the word. "There's only one thing, after all, that makes a man happy. AH New York is striving for it, and I might just as well get on the band wagon. Of course I mean--" '"Honor!' Belden stopped suddenly in his walk.

Admiral Horthy is the scion of a well known family whose members have distinguished themscives as public servants, in city life or in the defence of tneir country. One of his brothers fell in love the first month of the war. Hortky himself was a graduate of a naval academy and had served in the navy with distinction. The outbreak of the war found him comn.ander of a small cruiser. He distinguished himeelf on various smaller en- gagements. Iie attracted attention of Ide superiors by his action in the Straits of Otranto where he en- gaged sixteen similar smail enemy craft. Though wounded, he remain- ed on a stretéher on the bridge and successfully terminated his dare. devil sortie.
