grocer urging the acceptance of some other break
fast food when GrnpeNuts called for, but
that time has passed.

Therefore, If your grocer urges as an excuse for
his lack that the food is difficult 10 obtain, correct

as though it were herOism; she pointed
out to him that he had made noble
sacrifice of an ignoble love.
"But, mother" he said, 81 have brok-
en- my faith, my honor, my plighted
word" and her answer was:
'That for a great folly there could
only be a great reparation; that if he
had broken his faith with this unfortu-
nate girl he had kept it, and his loyalty
also, to the name and race of which he
was so proud, to herself and to Lady
Marion"
Like all other clever women, she
could argue a question until she con-
vinced the listener, even against his
own will, and she could argue SO
speciously that she made wrong seem
right.
He listened until he was unable 10
make any reply. In his heart he hated
and loathed himself; he called himself
a coward and traitor; but in his
mothers eyes he was a great hero.
''There is one thing cannot do he
said; ST cannot write and tell her; it
seems to me more cruel than if
plunged a dagger in her heart"
Lady Lanswell laughed.
'"That is all morbid sentiment, my
dear Lance. Leave the matter with
me, I will be very kind and very gen
erous; I will arrange everything with
her in such a manner that you will be
pleased. Now promise me to try and
forget her, and be happy with the
sweet girl who loves you so dearly"
''I will try" he said, but his young
face was SO haggard and worn that my
lady's heart misgave her as she looked
at him.
''I have done all for the BEST" she
murmured to herself "He may suffer
now, but he will thank me for it in the
years to come"

MR.. HOGG'S BEARD.
Why 1t No Longer Adorns His Moon
like Countenance.

When James S. Hogg, formerly gov
ernor of Texas, numbered into town
last week and went to the Waldorf
Astoria, his friends hardly knew him.
He was just as big, just as breezy, just
as open-hearted and companionable as
usual, but there was a change His
talk was like that of old time, in that
it was full of jovial observations and
punctuated with quaint western idioms.
The change was in his facial adorn-
ment. The governor, as every one
calls hiFn-and he is known by hardly
any other name-formerly wore a
beard that rambled all over his face
and completely concealed the budding
good humor that is marked in every
line around his mouth. 1t was a wild,
cratic sort of a beard, and seemed TO
be governed by no law. Now he is
clean shaver, and his face beams like
a full, round moon, and his eyes
twinkle with merriment How he
came to part with his beard is an inter
esting story.
After long neglect the governor one
day decided that he would have his
beard trimmed. To quote his. own
words, he "ambled into the finest ton
serial place" he could find. He told
the barber that he wanted to have his
beard trimmed. This Barber was a
Frenchman and spoke little English
The governor made him understand
what he wanted more by signs than
words. He said afterward that he was
an idiot to- trust a barber who couldn t
speak English, but in this case he did.
He climbed heavily into the chair,
