delnsion the Company wishes TO dispel It is
the simple things and small inventions that
make the greatest amount OF money, and the
complex ones. are seldom profitable. Almost
everybody, at sometime or another, conceives
an idea, which. If patented, would probably be

ideas are usually dismissed without thought.
The simple inventions like the car window
which could be easily slid up and down with
pan, the collar button. the nut lock- the bottle
stopper, the snow shovel, are things that almost
everyone sees some way of improving upOn

"She never did care, | think. She

She was silent.
"At least" he went on hesitating-
ly, "if you had been my wife you
would have learned to love me-"
Learned to love you! Oh, my

Her tone thrilled him to the eoul.
Her head was down on the arm of
his chair, and his hand very gently
and uncertainty touched her smooth
faded hair.
"You didn't mean-why Celia,
my dear, my dearp'
For her arms were around his
neck, and her face against his, and
for that one good minute the long
lonely years of sorrow seemed not

had grown young and pretty again

The AUTUMN Of Love.

rector Of Orlestone had ambitions,
bat that was before the woman he
loved had married rich man and
passed on! Of his life.
Now he lived a retired life, but he
liked to visit Celia Ringwood and
talk over the past. Celia was 38,
she had always loved him, and yet
she had often tried to comfort him
for his bitter loss. This was heroic,
indeed. One day therefor came to
see Celia. He was excited.
"You have always been true
friend to me-" he said, nervously.
I've always told you everything"
eyes," she said, and her heart
knew his errand even before he
spoke.
Cecilia, her husband is dead and
she has taken the Hall at Orlestone. +"
Celia Ringwood held out her hand
to hirs. The light went out sud-
denly in her face, but it left the
kindly mouth and eyes as he had
always seen them and one who had
loved her would have noticed the
change.
"Only last night" he said, "it
seemed to me there was nothing left
in life, but duty and the blessed
faith in the life to come. But now
-ch, Celia!EI feel young again"
''Shall you ask her again to marry
you?" There was a harsh note in
her voice, which she herself noted
with dismay. But he did not per-
ceive it.
eyes, of course" he said simply.
Miss Ringwood bit her lip.
"You are very poor" she said,
"and Lady Monntdew is very rich.
People will say-she might think''
"You don't know Eva Mountdew,
he said, proudly.
Celia was ashamed of her words
before he had answered them.
She left his thin hand a moment
between her soft palms and looked
at him wistfully.
Whatever happens" she said
~ know you will not forget old
friends" Her voice trembled a lit
tie as she said it.
"Dear Celia" he answered-and
some faint subconscious stirring of
remorse made his voice very gentle
and tender-"dear Celia / am very
selfish. You have been too patient
with me; you have spoiled me-"
She laughed little and took her
hands away.
"An old maid must have some-
thing to SPOIL" she said. "If it had
not been you it would have been a
cat or a canary bird. When shall
you see herr"
"This afternoon. She asked me
to come up to tea. She has let the
Ashford people furnish few rooms
and she is camping out, as she calls
it, till the rest of her furniture
comes from London"
There was a pause. Then he got
up suddenly, and began to walk up
and down the narrow space between
the door and the window, with knit
ted brows and hands clasped behind
him.
"Weil," said Miss Ringwood.
'It isn't that doubt her constan-
cy,n he said, ''but I don't know
whether it's fair. I'm old, you see,

be afraid because your hair is gray.
If she loved you-well, good-by."
He went off down the street with
a new hopefulness in his step.
When he was gone Miss Ringwood
went up to her room; she leaned her
elbows on the little white dressing
table, among the prim wool mats
and the little daily text books, and
looked again at herself in the glass.
Her eyes were very sad, though no
tears stood in them. Presently a
smile stirred the corners of her
mouth, where dimple still fingered.
"After ALL" she said to herself,
"she is fifteen years older, too"
Four days ago Miss Ringwood
looked hourly for the rector. He
had brought his sorrows to her al
ways; surely he would bring his
| Joy, too. Next morning there was
a letter. It was not from him; she
saw that while yet it was in the
postman's hands, for she had been
watching at the window, and had to
run to the door when she saw the
postman cross the road. It was from
his housekeeper.
"Please forgive the liberty" it
said after decent heading of address,
date and "Honored Madam"-"but
master is very bad, and he says
NO doctors He has been ailing
these three days. II you was to
think fit to come over you might
persuade him for his good. Yours
obedient to command, Emma We'll
lings."
Pm going OUT" she cried to her
little maid, "at once"
The shortest way to the rectory
lay through the fields, and Miss
Ringwood took it. She hurried on
through the keen, sweet air, devour-
ed by burning anxiety that con-
sumed all self-consciousness, all
personal doubts and dreams. When
she saw the blue smoke curling from
the red chimneys of the rectory
above the laurels and expresses she
quickened her pace, stumbling a
little now and then on the rough
pasture.
The housekeeper opened the door.
Celia clenched her hands as she
went in. He did not hear her open
the door. He was sitting gazing into
the fire, with his head on his hand
and his elbow on his study table.
His head was bowed, and Celia re-
allied for the first time that he was
no longer young. He looked, indeed,
an old man.
She laid her hand on his arm,
and he started and looked at her
with a look of sudden JOY and ten
derness she had never hoped to see.
But it faded at once. "He did not
know who it was; he thoughtit was
some one else," she said to her
self, but not bitterly.
"You are i'll and you never sent
for me. And you never came as you
promised" she said, with only the
gentlest reproach.
II could not" he spoke hoarsely,
and then fit of coughing took him
and he sank back in his chair.
"But you are ILL.," she said. Il
must send for doctor at once"
"But he could do me no good.

irritably. "Who told you ! was illP'
