For five minutes or more they had
not spoken; the girl because she was
waiting for the youth; the youth be-
cause words failed him. 1t was
moon-lit autumn night, and the stars
twinkled exasperatingly, he thought,
as though in mockery. Like the eyes
of Clara Moore, the girl beside him on
the rustic bench, they seemed to cast a
spell and tie his tongue. 1t was the
old, old story; faltering youth who
knew his heart and dared not speak his
love; a girl who anxiously waited for
him to declare himself, yet more in
spirit of coquetry than in love. The
youth had gauged his feelings; the girl
had only begun to measure hers.
They had known each other for a
year, only since he came fresh from
college to practice law in the city, a
youth of glittering dreams which cold
reality soon dimmed. He found the
way a hard one, struggle for exist
ence in the whirl of city life, with only
pluck for his capital. But determ1na-
ton had counted, and that day he had
scored his first real success. A client
age that promised substantial remuner-
alton had CHANGED to come his way, and
he had called on Clara Moore to ask
her to share his fortune
A. Ho,.oII NTo.r;oop n man With
only a future, he had loved her too
we'll to suggest that she leave comfor-
table home for marriage, but as Carroll
Morrison, attorney-at-law and mana
ger of the property and rentals of David
Smith, who was about to leave for a
protracted visit to Europe, he felt that
he had something to offer besides him
self. 1t was a rich mans fancy, this
choosing a callow youth to handle his
affairs, but in a busy life devoted to ac-
cumulating a great fortune, David
Smith seldom had erred, and of the
two, he was perhaps the happier for the
bargain.
The girl impassionately twirled 9
flower between her fingers; then flung
it to the ground.
Don't you think" she asked, 'tha
we'd better go inside? 1t is chilly
here, and, beside, 1 don't like the way
the ocean sounds. The beating of the
surf always makes me uneasy, and to-
night more so than ever.
"As you say" responded the youth
and as they arose to go he found tn
courage that he lacked.
''Are you sure he, asked, ''that 1t
the beating of the surf you hear
There's another beating-may L tel
you?"
She nodded, half haughtily, h
thought. He went on:
"The ocean is over yonder an
there has been no storm-at least a
sea. The storm has been here, besid
you, and the beatIng"-
He hesitated.
'And the beating?" she repeated
after him.
"Was the beating of heart. Th
sea pounds the sand to wear away 1t
anger, the heart the breast when life
best emotions are stirred by II
storm"
He clasped her hand and she mao
no effort to Withdraw it.
'You mean?" she asked.
'"That l love you; that / want yo

The girl drew back, and her han

his mind up, too.
us wears a look that marks the soul by
coolest comfort blest.
He doesn't care what people think-he's
dotted his coat and vest.
And now he is devising diplomatic means
and way
Of introducing pantaloons to wear on rainy
days.
The shirtwaist man is here to stay: full well
he plainly sees
That fashions dictates have shut off a lot of
pleasant breeze.
And if he takes notion that he wants it
made that way
He'll have his shirt designed and cut in bold
decollette,
And trousers built for rainy days he'll order
next-that's what.
And wear them all the summer through, if
there is rain or not.

The shirtwaist man-hurrah for him, Now
let him set the pace
ana give some cooler clothing to one-half
the human race.
Let's have the shirtwaists with short sleeves
and lace insertion, so
they'll catch the faint6st sort of breeze that
e'er was known to blow.
And don't forget, Oh tailorman, you must
abbreviate
The trousers, so that all the man NAV be in
the coolest state.
The shirtwaist man! Make way for him.
He's coming at full speed.
He marks a suffrage movement that the
men-folks sad need.
Hereafter We'll not be afraid of women's
SCOTS and sneers
1T we forsake the collar that so hotly saws
our ears.
And, furthermore, in stern demand, let us
our voices raise
And call for trousers we can wear in peace
on rainy days.

In the military hospital at San Fran
cisco the surgeons and nurses were
hustling about making ready for a new
lot of arrivals from the Philippines.
The transport Thomas had arrived the
evening before, and had just passed
quarantine with a cargo of suffering
men. The surgeon in charge was
stumbling around, giving orders to
nurses and men, now and then berat-
ing the enemy across the sea.
"This way Nurse Moore" he said.
See that the cot there is drawn closer
to the window. A little sunshine won't
hurt dying man.
Then, to himself, he added:
"a fine girl, that, ancr the wonder is
why she's here. From the East, she
says. and evidently of good people.
Wearing her life away by day and by
night, poor thing. Case of love maybe,
but it all comes in war. The men get
the bullets the women the stings."
"That will do, the blunt man re-
sumed, after the nurse had pulled the
cot around till a sunbeam reached
across the pillow. she won't need
cot long, poor chap. The cots for
Captain Carroll, one of the best SOL
diers of brave lot, they tell me. He
was strong enough when they left Ma
Mia to fight against coming back, but
during the voyage the old fever re-
turned, and he's been raving ever since,
declaring he must live till his ship got
in. A fighting hero, they say, who
rose from the ranks, but the fever has
sapped his life away. Don't stare like
that! Here comes the wagons now."
One by one the weakened heroes
we're carried to their cots, Captain Car
roll among them. Nurse Moore, be-
side the cot stood erect, looking va
cantly ahead. A surgeon stopped and
felt the officers pulse; then bent his
head and sounded the heart.
"You'd better look to the living" he
said, turning to the woman. 'This
man is dead"
The nurse turned, peered for an in
slant into the drawn face, and sank to
the floor. Overwork, the surgeons
said. but doctors, after all, are only
men. How could they know? How
could they understand?
His ship had come in, but only tha
, his soul might go out.

to more of your poetry. Love, like
other luxuries, is for those who can
afford it. And we've haven't the
price,"
A CHEEKY laugh showed the
girls humor, but to the youth her
merriment only deepened the cut. He
had not told her of his good fortune; !;
he had reserved it as a surprise. She
might have loved him for his pros
poets, but she refused to love him for
himself.
"You are good" he said, simply, "to
speak so plainly. We understand each
other now. No more of love, as you
say, till-till my ship comes in. Good
bye."
He turned and walked rapidly away
down the vine-skirted path, and the
girl stood watching him till he was lost
to sight. His words, Goodbye, "
were ringing in her ears, and she won
dered if he meant goodnight"
The next day brought sad enlight-
eument. An evening paper announced
that David Smith had postponed in
definitely his trip to Europe, as Carroll
Morrison, a young attorney he had ell
gagged to take charge of his affairs, had
disappeared.
