And as their happiness grew and
throve apace so did Alan Stacey's star
of fame grow more and more brilliant
There had been at the time of his first
great success croakers who had foretold
that the star Of Alan Stacey brilliancy
would wane In little time, but these
representations had proved to be
wrong. With every book that had come
out his genius was seen to be more in
tense and more brilliant He had the
magic touch. the subtle insight, the
grace. the freshness. the romance and
the poetry which are needed to make a
really great and lasting success. To
some of us-to most Of US. should
have said-the refining fires of sorrow
are necessary, but now and again there
shines upon the world great mind
which feeds on the sunlight Alan
Stacey was one of these. and the more
the happiness of his life increased the
more brilliant did his work become.
The untold satisfaction of his daily life,
30 far from cramping or stultifying
him. seemed as il it but fed the fires Of
his genius. and II was common thing
in the set in which Alan Stacey moved
for their union to be cited as an excuse.

and old fashioned institution of mar

Itwas just three years after her mar

when he came in,
"Oh. John. Mr.. Stacey has head
ache this morning. the worst he has
had for months He says he will take no
more than cup Of tea and two bits of
dry toast .
''Indeed. ma am. I'm sorry to hear
that, said John in sympathetic tone.
''It's a long time since the master has

cup Of tea.

that since his marriage they had been

helped herself to some kedgeres and

y contents now and then. as if she found
the news they contained pleasant.
Then, these disposed Of. she took a SEQ

unusually good. and opened the news

for the greater convenience of being
able to eat and read at the same time.

moment the whole atmosphere and at

down between the table and her knee,

The republicans, says the Sunday
Herald, have in their campaigns made
large use of the travelling men as mis-
sionaries to spread the doctrines of
protection and prohibitive tariffs Since
the last campaign about $4,000 COM
mercial travellers have been thrown
out OF their positions through the for
nation of trusts due to protective
tariff. These men are not so enthusi-
astlc in eNpounding republican the
cries as in other wears.
