A-womarewriter in.Ilearst's Masasirie says -so and she . is in a position to know something about ut nathnhrh al tangles. An assistant .District At- torney ttorney for Brooklyn, Mils Helen P. McCormick, has listened to the plaints of no less than two 'tliqueand• unhap- pily married couples and out of the . facts and impressions thus gained she has woven the following theory: 'Some ,men hate their wives. Many, perhaps a majority, dislike them. Nearly all mien think they dislike them: . A prime reason for this is that it is human to revolt, inwardly or out- wardly, against authority. To his surprise the man who :marries dis- covers that the authority . that he fatuously thought would be his is being wrested! from him and is being exercised' by the one who' is ironically. termed the weaker, but more chivalr- usly described as "his better half." - A surprisingly- large number of husbands, perhaps the majority, have the same feeling for their wives that the • leopards in the circushave for the young woman with yellow hair and .pink tights who compels them daily to jump through hoops. They admire vaguely the, artistic perfection of her, work, but they grumblingly or 6ilently resent being driven. Few of them fight their driver, but all of them nurse a grow- ing distaste for the whip and the holder of it. I have heard the com- plaints of many male spouses. A great number began with "I had no idea that when I married 'I was los- ing all right to myself or my pos- sessions. But 'I soon learned that I had" In this frame of mind, which becomes chronic, men regard their wives as tyrants. • A chief reason - for the actual dis- like bf husbands `for their wives is that woinen are pron:e to exact an inordinate money levy. The dissatis- fied husband sincerely believes that women are the mercenary sex. He thinks he is looked upon in his house- hold as a mere provider of the where- withal to meet constantly increasing needs. He thinks, and he is right, that all American women dress be- yond). their means. . He considers his wife merciless in her exactions. He visualizes himself as a slave that is pouring a stream of ` gold coins into a bottomless pit. I have heard sharp- ly uttered the masculine cry: "Every man hates the woman who wastes his .money." An extreme view? Yet Flaubert, who laid the scalpel ' to women's weakness, held it. He said: "There is no wind} , that blows -so coldly upon love as the demand for money." What every man wants is to be comfortable. Comfort he compounds of peace •-of mind and well-being of body. The woman who doesn't make a man comfortable he considers a matrimonial failure. The man who works hard all day is resentful, and rightly, so, if his wife, having been at the movies all afternoon, doesn't come home in time to prepare a nourishing meal for hint. "She won't cook my meals. She gives me only delicatessen stuff," is the indictment of the righteously angered husband. The lack of sense of humor has brought upon thousands of women the dislike of their husbands. Women, as a sex, are natural gloom dispens- ers and cheer crushers. They know that a smile costs nothing yet they withhold it as though it were beyond price. Women are enthusiasm ex- tinguishers. They are the wet-blank- etsex. Every man wants to laugh. Most of women want to cry. A husband wants to tell his wife the joke on Bill Brown' or to roar over the comics in the newspapers. His wife wants sympathy. Every woman is' a sympathy craver. A man amply planned\ and of jovial countenance said: "Every woman has some ingrowing grief." At all events, woman's conversation tends. toward the morbid side of life. She wants an audience for the oft -told tale of her "operation," of her trou-. bles -with her maid, and, even though he be the audience, of her husband and his shortcomings. Men abhor the trouble retailer. Women are re- dundant with sympathy. Men are nearly barren of it: The first week or two of .a man's love for a woman he will listen to her tale of "troubles and offer sympathy. But even then, if she be observant, she can see that it is a perfunctory- offering. A wo- man may avoid, her husband's dislike, I or may for a Tong time defer it, if she waits with her tale or the day's hoes until he is well into his dinner or the dinner is well into him. She• argues that the home and the chil- dren are his and that he should share the responsibility and griefs thereof and! help administer the household, and adjust the troubles. That is true. But she .,might wait until he .hangs up his hat and his feet are placed under the table. Men dislike their wives because their wives are selfish. Women don't like to grant this. They are ac- customed to being regarded, as the world's martyrs. They like the role. What man was ever proud of being a martyr? If he is a martyr to a cause or to a family he tries to hide the fact. A woman, on the contrary, exults in martyrdom. She is at her dramatic best when she tells her hus- band about its hideous details. And she tells him about it every day. It seems to be impossible for wo- men torealize that ordinary sacrifice is not martyrdom. A man's sacrifice for his family is one of the modern dramas. He works hard, union hours and over -'inion hours. Down- town is a vast place of sacrifice. The man makes this Sacrifice of his day and of most of his life, not for him- self, but for his faintly. Lift the familw responsibility from most men and they would become joyous Hooli- gans. But the woman seems unable to understand this. Her conception is .that John goes down -town to his office, . and puts his feet on his desk, and talks to the other inen all' day, then comes home. Foremost in her mind is her own daily martyrdom. Her yearning to relate every detail 'of it is infinite. Her selfishness manifests in an- other way. Since her husband's duties • have been: so light she wants .1 usehis surplus energy hi Jobti about the. house. Why .should'( he hang picture'? Or why should' -he not amuse ,himself in_ ti e -way she dic- tates - instead of the Manner he. wishes? A woman who, had spent i the afternoon- at a -picture show bite ,terly reproached her husband for selfishness, because he wanted to re lax at a movie house instead of tak- ing her out for a drive in their automobile. So to woman a griev- ance is born. She nurses it. How a woman can cherish what she regards as a grievance! Even as a hen sit- teth upon a nest of fresh -laid eggs. Particularly does she nurse it if she is not in a home or in other useful , employment. 'Naturally, if she hasn't anything worth while to do she ,spends much time in devising plans which repres- ent the outlay of her husband's pro- fitable energy. Taking. the -coldest possible 'view of the matter this is shortsighted in the wife's part. is evidence of. puny celebration. Fo she is destroying an excellent invest- ment nvestment value. Say a woman is mar- ried to a man with an earning capac- ity of five thousands dollars a year. He represents in terms of money ap- proximately $75,0111,' yielding six or seven per cent. dividend. Let him become incapacitated, • and, save for his insurance, which will be consum- ed in d'octor's bills and funeral ex- penses, the $75,000 investment is wiped out. The average working husband knows that he is daily burning up energy and that depreciation, if not disintegration, constantly` threaten him that time is poking its fingers into him to test his- ripeness. His aim is to keep his wife happy, his credit sound, h_d' hi ols job, try to be- lieve he has a future, provide a good home and, leave a competence to his famiiliy. He knows he is the capital of the household and he protests against being depreciated by constant inroads upon his ever -decreasing store of latent energy, or white wife- ly fingers ever in his trousers pock- ets. Not recognizing his- fixed _pur- poses, she calls his defensive efforts mere "grouchiness," and the breach grows. She is wrong; If a woman owned a horse that earned the family living by pulling a dray six days a week she wouldn't take the horse out for a pleasure drive in the evening or on Sunday. Especially on the remarkable grounds that the exercise was, for the horse's own health! An Englishman. is the inventor of a grass trimmer,which resembles horse clippers an , is -operated by both\= hands. The Rider of the King Log Continued from Page 7 that this desperate character should be turned over to them. But Mr. Wallin was deeply com- mitted to the "bird -in -hand" doctrine. They entered into a long discussion. It was not necessary to hurry ,the argument; the waves were Lashing the boulders along the shore, filling the cove with foaming tumult. The officers lolled, smoked their pipes, and after a time there was another bottle of the "morson." This white liquof is potent. Mr. Wallin forgot himself on details in repeating the lies . and was not so cogent in his reasons why he should hold this prisoner for him- self. But he insisted doggedly that he proposed. to hang on, and he defied the whole Canadian government, hav- ing arrived at that point of belliger- ency in the late afternoon. The matter having then become a purely international affair, with na- tional pride in arias on both sides, the finer points of rights and wrongs were quite confused with a more ele- mental proposition; which country Was coming out ahead in the dis- pute? The captive had scornfully- refrain- ed from any comment on the warden's lies; he was silent during the profane maunderings of the three. He nurs- ed, the savage hope that they would fall on one another and perforin the mutual service of ridding the world who three men v ho showe& such brutal disreg$trd for comoln decency. The honest anger which was gathering in Paul began to be spiced with the poison of a hatred that was part dis- gust—and that sort of animosity de- mands revenge. He hitched about cautiously and tried to find a rock or thrust- of ledge aginst which he could saw the rope which bound his feet. But the rocks were too smooth and the soapy rope resisted. "If you Canucks want Indians for prisoners, or for pets .or peep -show purposes," declared Mr. Wallin, reiter- ating a statemtn he had made many times during the afternoon, "go get some for yourselves-. I've got mine. I know just what I'm going to do with him." Then all of a sudden he scrambled' up and teetered on un- steady feet and pointed wavering finger. "There's some! Help your- selves!"

In a situation where the fine points of human rights and wrongs had been clouded until it -seemed to be merely a question . of supply of prisoners,, what ;was now offered promised to solve the dispute. There was not only an .Indian apiece for all —there was an extra one. A big canoe had come surging past the, horn of the headland, close to the shore, a pebble -toss from the heart of the cove. It was the sachem -canoe; ,it would live in water where sma11, canvas craft would be swamped. And Dunes and Peter, niaster-canoemen, were handling the paddles. The big waves were quartering behind them and their shallop was hoisted on glorious surges; the servitors -were hastening their princess to her rendezvous. "There's ' Indians—even the girl is one," persisted Wallin. Sabatis stared. At first he didn't recognize Lola, though she *as near. Then out of his knowledge of such matters, recognizing the hue of the acorn -brew, he saw that she had given her face the dusky color of the Mel- licites. "Stop!" roare• d one of the Canadi- ans. He lurched forward, grabbed Wallin's rifle from its stand against a tree, and fired several tines, pu'mp- in'g the cartridges viciously, polling the empty shells out upon the ground. He aimed obviously high, but when he started toward the shore, still fir- ing, he stumbled over a root and the girl's scream and the Indian's shouts told of trouble. The paddlers beat the water and headed the canoe into the_ cove. They drove their„ blades deeply and furi- ously. "They're looking for trouble," ad- vised one of the Canadians; he ran tp his canoe and securest his rifle. "Be ready for 'em!" Minos and Peter leaped into the water just before the prow of the canoe touched the shore. They lifted it by the gunwales and ran up the shelving ledges, carrying girl and all. Water was pouring out of the holes in the bark, showing where a bullet had ` crashed :through. The panting Indians and the armed men stood there facing one another in silence. "You dogs! You hellhounds!" reg - ed Paul; he struggled and leaped and came upon his feet. The girl gave him frightened, amaz- ed stare, but did not speak. "What for you do that?" demand- ed Dunos. "You shoot our canoe." "We want you! , You're arrested," explained one of the Canadians. "For what?" Fine points of rights were no long- er onger clouded; the cloud' and the fine points were ruthlessly brushed aside and cast away. Here were Indians. Their arrival had settled a dispute among officers of the law. "Where's your hunting licenses?" "We no hunt." "What are those rifles' for? To pick your teeth with?" "But We no hunt." "You can explain that to the judge. You're arrested! Here! Come a- way from that canoe. Touch those guns ands there'll be a couple more Indians rapping on the back door of hell." "Dunos and Peter!" called Sabatis. "Take no chances with these men now. They're drunk.- There's no sense in them." The Canadian officers were better provided ` with catch -pole gear than was Wallin. While one held ready rifle the other went forward and snapped handcuffs on the wrists of the captives. "Mind your eye, and there'll be no trouble," was the patronizing promise when the men had been secured. Wallin, like most ' others of the lower Toban, had heard of the White Lily, though he had never seen her; but, slight as was her disguise, he did not guess at her identity; his wits were not clear enough for . much shrewd guesswork. He went to the canoe and offered his hand and leered amiably, his emotions of coarse gal- lantry stirred by this promise of feminine companionship. To be sure, it was not Miss Clare P. Tucker nor was it a nurse, but she was a pretty girl, even if, she was only an Indian. "Excuse all accidents, sis! They're bound to happen. Don't be scared. .I'll take care of you." She avoided, his hand and stepped out of the canoe. She turned to Paul, but he narrowed his eyes and she accepted his stern demeanor as signal of hostility or hint that she was not to show recognition; nor, in that moment, despite his plight, was she sure that she had, forgiven him for those rumored boastings and his disastrous meddling. Therefore she found it easy to be as coldily oblivi- ous as he. "What have we .done? You do not tell us," ventured Peter. "It'll all be explained before the court. Better not talk any more, It will be used! against Tow's advised the man. with the rifle. «But 1 have a right to 'know why we have been stopped in this man-. ner!" cried! Iola.. '"I am in a great, h" "The hurry will ' have td wait." -"But I beg you! I'll go down, on my knees .and beg . outo let us go on, The canoe can be : soon mended I have far to go." The tremor f o chocked sobs shook; her. tones. - "It's no use' to argue and coax little squaw. Later we'll see wha can• be done." He exchanged look with hie colleague. They - confessed in that interchange of glances t. this thing had been done on. `muddled impulse, but now they promised; eac other by squint and cock of eyeblro that they would stand bi y and see through after the fashion which seemed best. "We'll have to do a little • private discussing on the matter," stated the other. "Make up your minds to stay here till we have made up ours." They walked off a Iittle way. "We don't propose to have any of this Indian -style plotting and treach- ery going on here," blurted Warden. Wallin. "You two new ones go over there and sit on that knoll. Don't you go nigh my Indian. And now, sis, you can cuddle down side of me and tell me your troubles." -He touched her aim; she drew away from him. "You and ` those men are making my great trouble for me just now. Please, oh, please--" "It's no good to beg for what can't be allowed, sis. It only spoils a good time. What's your name ? I wouldn't wonder • if it's something pretty. It's pretty if it goes with your looks. Don't be afraid of me, I tell you. I'd never harm a hair on this head." He patted her cheek and then set thumb. and forefinger under her chin, raising her face closer to hie. It might have been that Paul misjudg- ed Mr. 'Wallin's amorous intentions;- perhaps the philanderer did not in tend to kiss the girl: But his atti- tude and hi`s . silly grin gave such ominous evidence of his design that the crazed lover did not pause to waste any time in speculating. That rude touch on her face 'had been more than ennugh provocation- for him. Joel . Paul Hgnore L'Heureux had -taught his nephew the virtue and the viciousness of the coup -pied. Paul's feet were pinioned) close to- gether and' he was prevented from dealing the real blow—the swinging blow. But he made three tremendous leaps forward, snapping *his feet off the ground, and:• landed' squarely against the dodging 'Wallin's breast. The kick kn6cked' -the-man down the slope and against the boulders of the shore; Paul himself fth on his back —fell so helplessly that breath and senses left him for a few moments. Wallin was up first; he groaned and limped about in a circle; blood was oozing from a jagged cut on his fore- head. When. he started back up the slope he was a slowly moving picture of male violence; his head! was set for- ward, his jaws were jammed hard together, his arms were stiff and out- spread, and his fists .were doubled. But he did not hurry. lie was lead- ing toward a victim who was not able .to run away. The manacled Indians stood helplessly at one side; they ' were shod ith- moccasins and their s hat, h w t • • a Can —Reduce Her Tares —Pay Her War Debts --Keep Workers Busk -Make Farmers Ptotiperaus- By Selling Her Surplus Grain, Fruits, Dairy Produce, Manufactures To the Nations of - The British Empfre • The Key to the market is Shops Canadian Ships The Navy League of Canada kicks could not prevail. .Lola stepped in front of the moving menace and raised her hands in mute appeal, but Wallin thrust ker to one side. Paul was on his feet by the time the war- den had reached him. The Canadians lookad on and said no word. Wallin was so slow, so calculating in his action, that he was masking his bru- tal rutaI design. He brought his first around in a wide arc and drove a vicious blow against Paul's jaw. The victim went dawn and lay motion- less. "That's enough, Wallin!" shouted one of the officers. "It's an even split as it stands—though you don't get mih credit for hitting a man with his aims tied. Enough, I say!" He hurried to Wallin and pushed' him away; the warden had raised his foot over the Indian's face. (Continued next week.)

PEOPLE • Why You Should buy Shoes Now! • WJEh e S o Manufacturers of Canada—and there are 158 of us in all—feel that there are certain features relating to our - industry that you should know. One of the principal things is this --- There is little likelihood that shoe prices will be very much lower than at present, for some months to corse, at least. IN any event, any reduction that the manufacturer may be able to make to the retailer will be slight; on the other hand, there is a possibility that prices on some styles may be -higher. Your shoe retailer bases his prices to you on what he pays the manufacturer. We, in turn, are dependent on the cost of leather and other things, u well as of labor. We buy our materials months before our shoes are on your feet, and the prise of these shoes is naturally regulated by the cost of the materials of which they are made, and of the handiwork expended on them. Therefore, our advice to you—and we give it in>all sincer- ity --ss to BUY NOW any shoes you need for your self or your family. Don't buy extravagantly or recklessly. .but do so carefully and .judiciously, Your retailer will give you ;this same advice too, if you ask him. He knows, as we do, that 1i the public demand for footwear sud- denly started up abnormally, scarcity of shoes and higher prices would probably result. This is R situation that should be mutually avoided, and will be if you buy what shoes you need, as you need them. 141,11* I, . .,. - •1111 • ° ::III I. •alga• Chir prr rocie Joef'►eer ., Amery dair.hI. pg med of standard gowfi- Ey i' fj a'rtolee41 Whoa yew bay Mode is Camp& Footwear ye ales P►ricer.eto,rpe, s/ ,the •toast that amdfern skill ears Produce to Com- fort, Service sed St7ia IA • .•. r, • iS - •e' 114 UM., •H, a ata u! •IT1!!!!6 - aj.:.:
