' ' Bill Smith then Is a man of parts,

One day last week, to Illustrate the
point of this tale. Bill went out on a
bat It was no baby bat with weak
abd wobbly wings, but a full-grown,
woolev, pink-eyed product of the night
with llfe-alged whoops and barbaric ex
hortations. For two days it lasted In
all its elementary ruggedness and then
the lure of bualneas began to get the
better of the booze and Bill began to
circle 'round his place of business as a
moth aweepa in narrowing rings about
the fatal flame.
At last his wavering stepa brought
him to the door and he slipped through
Into the establishment quietly in order
not to attract attention. He hung for
a time about the front of the atore,
keeping out of the range of vision of
the stenographer, who. In her little of
fice above the main floor, was lagging
at her keya and keeping a weather eye
on the door.
The eagle eye caught a glimpse of
BUI Smith as he -slipped from one aisle
of the store to another and the sten
ographer advanced to the fray. Bill
saw. her coming and made for the door,
but he steered an uneven course and
the stenographer headed htm off.

"Mr. Bmlth," she said quietly, plac

his shoulder, "you are wanted in the

"Office be blankety-blanked!" said

Manila, Feb. IT. The Filipino Junta
at Toklo, claiming to be In touch with
Japaneae officialdom, continues sending
to the disaffected politicians here with
whom It Is in communication, predic
tions of an Invasion of the Philippines.
Undismayed by the fact that the proph

ships on emerging from Magellan straits
did not materialize, the Junta now de
clares that the Japanese program is to
await a division of the American naval
strength and first destroy the force re
maining in the Pacific, afterward dis
posing of the remainder, should It re
turn, an waa done with the Russian Bal

Coincident with the Junta's activity
