! was only boy, when her first husband
was alive"
But, good gracious, you don't mean
that Mrs. Westmacott is going to marry
againY' gasped Clara.
The young man glanced down at her
with question in his eyes. ''Oh, it is
only remote possibility, you know"
said he. Still, of course, it might hap
pen, and should like to know what ]
ought to turn my hand to"

But 1 really know very little about
such things. However. / could talk to
my father, who knows very great deal
of the world"
81 wish you would. should be so glad
if you would"
Then l certainly will. And now
must say good night, Mr.. Westmacott,
for papa will be wondering where am. ;"
Good night, Miss Walker" He pulled
off his flannel cap and stalked away
through the gathering darkness.
Clara had imagined that they had been
the last on the lawn, but looking back
from the steps which led up to the
French windows she saw two dark fig
ures moving across toward the house.
As they came nearer she could distin-
guish that they were Harold Denver and
her sister Ida. The murmur of their
voices rose up to her ears. and then the
musical little childlike laugh which she
knew so well. Il am so delighted" she
heard her sister say. 80 pleased and
proud. l had no idea of it. Your words
were such surprise and joy to me.
Oh, am SO glad!"
SIS that you, Ida?"
"Oh, there is Clara. l must go in, Mr..
Denver. Good night"
There were a few whispered words, a
laugh from Ida and Good night, Miss
Walker" out Of the darkness. Clara
took her sisters hand, and they passed
together through the long, folding win
dow. The doctor had gone into his
study, and the dining room was empty.
A single small red lamp upon the side
board was reflected tenfold by the plate
about it and the mahogany beneath 1t,
though its single wick cast but feeble
light into the large, dimly shadowed
room. Ida danced off to the big central
lamp. but Clara put her hand upon her
arm. "Irather like this quiet light, said
she. "Why should we not have chat?"
She sat in the doctors large red plush
chair, and her sister cuddled down upon
the footstool at her feet, glancing up at
her elder with smile upon her lips and
mischievous gleam in her eyes. There
was shade of anxiety in Cara's face,
which cleared away as she gazed into her
sisters frank blue eyes.
"Have you anything to tell me, dearY
she asked.

The Clever Brahmau.

Speaking of the great power the
Brahmans in India possess in localizing
thought, Purushotam Aor Telang said
the other day: I'VE would consider a
game of chess as played in this country
mere child's play. An ordinary Brah-
man chess player could carry on three
or four games at time without incon-
venience. The usual game played by
the Brahmans consists in checkmating
with one pawn, designated when the
play begins. l have seen a man perform
a long problem in multiplication and di
vision, at the same time noting the va
rious sounds and discussions going ON

MODERATION is fear of falling into

deserve who become intoxicated with
their good fortune; it is vain ostenta-

not SO. 1t comes more quietly, it stays
more contentedly, and it never exhausts
our sti length, nor gives us one anxious
