SHOULD WE FEAR DEATH?
With envy how I used to run
To see the city drummers then,
And dream of days I might be one
Myself, a prince o f traveling men.
Well, here I am; It all came true;
And here I'm stuck a day or two—
The reason now you’ll understand
I wish the Grand Hotel seemed grand.

HE ran the gamut of every Im
pertinence and every offense,”
was said not long ago of a girl who
was expelled from school for lnsutv
ordination. She had broken all the
rules, going right down the line, or
“ running the gamut.”
The expression has a musical ori
gin. the "gamut" being the name given
to a system of musical notation in
vented by Guido A r e z z o , a Benedictine
monk o f the Tenth century. He railed
the lowest tone "gamma" (the Greek
letter g). and then, taking the sylla
bles from an old Latin hymn, called
the notes of hls scale nt, re. ml, fa
sol. la. sL with which wa ire all fa
miliar.
The scale came to be called the
"gamut" from gamma-nt. the first two
notes.
Hence "running the gamut”
means figuratively running the full
length of the scale.

Y R Il.L A was the dearest girl In
the world, hut a little cold-
hearted.
Freddy Broughton
could not disguise that fact
from his knowledge.
But he had
weighed It against her virtues when
he asked her to be hls wife, and It
did not weigh a great deal.
C.vrllla Burns and Freddy hud
known each other since they were
tots. Their families lived ill one of
\ those old-fashioned city squares that
are rapidly disappearing before the
inarch of progress. Only a few of
the old families remained In the vl-
I clnlty, and they formed a sort of arls-
' tocrac.v of birth, though few of them
hud any money.
Freddy's father was a lawyer, nnd

I might have begun hls service “ dearly
beloved sister Jones” Instead of "dear
ly beloved brethren.”
It had always been understood that
Freddy nnd Cyrilla were to marry.
When Freddy came home from college
he looked at Cyrilla nnd wondered.
Here he had been out In the world, as
It seemed to him, tasting the Joys of
emancipation, and Cyrilla was going
the same old round of missionary
meetings, library so mini trees and vis
its among a select nnd exclusive old-
fashioned set.
Yet Freddy was shrewd enough to
see that a wife must be chosen for
her wearing qualities.
And Cyrilla
undoubtedly did wear well. She was
Just the same as ever, Just as Inter
ested In him. Just as willing to talk
about her interests, even a little fond
er, Freddy thought.
j
So It came about at the annual
i dinner party that, finding himself
| alone with Cyrilla. Freddy took her
hand in hls.
"W ill you marry me soon. Cyrilla,
dear?" he asked.
“ Yes,” answered Cyrilla. “ I f you

“ I know 1 love you,” answered Fred-

forward to taking you into the world,
where we shall live our own life— a
different life— "
He stopped abruptly.
It would
never do to let Cyrilla realize thnt he
had other views of their future than
living on in the square. And if a

That summer Gyrilla be

she accepted an Invitation from a
friend to spend a ueek up-country.
It was so abnormal that there was
much shaking of heads and consulta

the end it was decided thnt as an
almost married woman Cyrilla might

meant to go anyway, went.
Left to himself, Freddy pined In
tils father's law office. When hls va

rilln’s letters seemed awfully cold
Did Cyrilla love him well enough to
liecome hls wife? Thnt was the ques
tion he put to himself.
" N o !” was the answer that hls Inner
consciousness thundered out one after
noon. “ N o! And I am going to offer
her her freedom. And I am going to
break a w ay!’’
And in that moment he saw himself
n martyr nnd pictured the joys of life
under new skies, and totally different
nuspices.
He told hls father that he would
take his vacation after all. He went
to the Catskills and selected a little
hotel there filled with shopgirls nnd
ronng men from the stores at fifteen
dollars a week. And there he plunged.
with a sense of awful wickedness. Into
a new life.
The region was simply dotted with
hotels. In every forest glade one came
upon s*oonlng couples. On every Inke
rang out the voices of hilarious .voting
people. Freddy flung himself Into It
all with zest. He made desperate love
to a little girl who sold perfumery at
Stacey's, and had apparently ab
stracted a good deal of the stock to
pour over herself. He spent the morn
ings with her, the afternoons with a
ladles' shoe department girl from
Isaae A f'opplnwny's, and the eve
nings he strolled up and down with a
waitress from Mild's, and dismissed
thp relative advantages of the break
fast cereals.
And he liked It. Fie was growing
more and more entranced with the
vulgarity of It. He felt a regular Don
Juan, and when the hotel gave the
annual masked hall and the carsnusel
was set up. Freddy was the gayest of

“ Help! Make way for n lady what’s
fainted!" shouted the landlord's steu
torlan voice through the darkness.
And somebody appeared, a dimly
descried shadow, supporting the figure
of a girl, petite nnd slim, with a black
mask covering what might have been
an uncommonly pretty face.
“ Iin the hoy," shouted Freddy— he
had learned that phrase the day be-
face— and snatched the lady from her
escort. The escort, not owning her,
turned his attentions to the nearest
girl. And the struggling mass gradu
ally made move toward the doors.
Thp girl had really fainted. Freddy
carried her. but when he reached the
entrance he felt a sudden disgust for
the crowd. He picked her up bodily

some fifty paces distant. The ntoon

The shouts behind him had died away
nnd Freddy for the first time began

He tried to arouse the girl, hut her
unconsciousness was profound, and
only the least catch of the breath
reassured him that she was alive. II««
decided that the proper thing lo do
would lie to dash water Into her face.
He set her down nt the margin of the
lake and plunged forward to scoop up
some wnter In one o f the tin cans
thnt lay In numbers among the hushes.
He got his can nnd. as he stooped
to fill It, the soft, marshy ground gavp
under him nnd he stumbled forward
Into the wnter, falling flat on his fnce.
A minute Inter n gurgling, puffing
figure, composed, according to appear
ances, principally of slime nnd mud,
arose from the bosom of the lake, still
clutching the can of water, nnd strug
gling hack up the ascent. For several
moments Freddy hunted disgustedly
for the girl, cursing himself for a
fool. IVh.v hadn’t he been content to
stay quietly in his room?
He loathed himself Just then, and,
In the reaction, thought of C.vrllla for
the first time in a week nlmost.
Then he came upon the girl, nnd,
forgetting hls condition, he kneeled
down beside her nnd raised her head
on his arm, nnd dashed the tepid
wnter into her face.
“ Where am I?” she whispered In
terror.
"It's all right. Miss,” said Freddy—
he had learned that mode of address
too. “ Somebody cut the wire and you
fainted. We'll have you hack to your
place In half a jiff.”
The girl was quite silent. Suddenly
the Don Juan mood came over Freddy
again. Deliberately he bent forward
nnd planted a kiss upon the girl’s
unresisting lips.
They were as cold ns Ice. Suddenly,
with n dreadful sense of horror, Fred
dy leaned forward. In Ihe light of the
lanterns which had been swung from
the hotel porch, Freddy could see that

said quietly.

“ From Eve, you mean,” sal«l Freddy.
“ Well, nnd will you tell me what

“ I wanted some fun," Cyrilla said
defiantly.
"W ell, so did I,” said Fredily.
She took a step forward.
"You

“ Nobody but you,” she answered.
"They've all tried to, all of them, hut

He clasped her fiercely In hls arms.
