II WnH Ordered.

In the biography of Prince Bismarck
it is said that when he was minister at
st Petersburg he was walking one
morning in the summer garden and met
the ear. who invited him to join him
Presently Bismarck noticed sentry
stationed in the middle of IA large grass
plot and asked the aid de-camp, who in
turn inquired of the sentry.
1T is ordered, was his reply
Every official gave the same answer
ut is ordered, Int nobody knew 10y
whom A sentry had always stood
guard III the middle of that innocent
grass plot The archives were searched.
but in vain At last an aged official
was found who had been told by his
father that the Empress Catherine had
once Seen Il snowdrop ready to bloom iii
the spot and had ordered sentry to
stand guard and allow no one to PLUCK
it. For more than century the watch
had been maintained because lit was
ordered and no one had ever thought
of disobeying or of questioning the rea-

OF all great conqnerors, writes Marion
Crawford IN Studies From the Chron-
icles of Rome, he was the least cruel,
for he never sacrificed human life with
out the direct intention of benefiting
mankind by an increased social stabili-
ty OF all great lawgivers he was the
most wise and just, and the truths he
set down in the Julian code are the
foundation of modern justice. OF all
great men who have ieaped upon the
world as upon an unbroken horse, who
have guided it with relentless hands
and ridden it breathless to the goal of
glory, Caesar is the only one who turned
the race into the track of civilization
and, dying, left mankind future in
the memory of his past. He is the one
great man of all without whom it is
impossible to imagine history We can
not take him away and yet leave any
thing of what we have The world
could have been as it is without Alex
ander, without Charlemagne without
Napoleon 1t could not have been the
world we know without Caius julius

them al for good.
A week before che sailed she received
letter from Jack Collingwood 1t WAS
longer than the last. 1t beat about the
bush good deal, but it left no doubt
as to its ultimate intention.
When fate makes mistake. it il apt
its opportunity-the opportunity for
bringing its victim to grief-and then
it is itself again.
Fate made Mary's lover unfaithful to
her, and the letter was to break it to
her as gently rs possible that he had
married another woman-in haste, IL
seemed, lest she should come out and
stop him-and that there was no neces-
sity for her to 90 out to Calcutta.
Mary Charrington suffered torture
for that one week At the end of it
she looked facts resolutely in the face
and realized that, if she had nowhere
to go. she had at the same time no
where to stay-nowhere in the world
And out Of the world-her dead hus-
band would be waiting for her The
passage was taken on tho Kandahar
salvation A first class passage to India
costs money 1t would be a pity to
waste it. There again was the woman
practical through the numbness of an
appalling calamity, the loss of every
thing she valued So the Kandahar
sailed at the end of the week and the
name of Mrs Percy Charrington figured
in the passengers list
Fate sometimes repents and makes
what amends it can 1t made honorable
amend to her The third man in her
life crossed her path and linked his lines
with hers on board the Kandahar ON the
voyage out. He fell in love with her at
once-love that came so soon as tc run
a neck and neck race with pity
His name was Edgar Goring. and he
was man of action, not speech, and
told her that he loved her and meant to
marry her.
She laughed for several minutes more
than was decorous or suitable when he
told her this, but he understood Then
she grew quieter and gave him the his
tory of the last three years simply and
truthfully
II am quite without hope, and !
don t see there is anything left to me
Mr. Goring, she said You are more
than good. but am an old woman. |
have got through the best of my life.
cannot marry you feeling as | do.
"Oh. yes, you can, said Edgar Cor
ing.
Very we'll she said. giving in
from sheer inability to resist "You
must take the risk, and You have got "A
very very bad bargain.
She gave him limp, nerveless hand
and looked into his resolute eyes with a
watery little smile.
He kissed the hand, and then he kiss
ed her
Il take the risk - he said. Il mean
to marry you and make You forget /
mean to make you love me.
He did all three things.
And this is "a true story, so | will not
apologize for its glaring improbabilities
Her husband is younger and nicer
looking and richer than Percy Charming
ton, more charming and more success
full than Jack Collingwood, and she
loves him far better and knows it.
A woman is anointed with the oil of
gladness above her fellows when fate
bestows upon her full love and a full
er knowledge of what that love can be
to her, bringing her, as it brought
Mary Goring, through fire and water
into the ultimate haven of wealthy
