A suggestion was thrown out a
few days ago by writer whose
name has slipped US, that, if followed
to its logical conclusion, would make
this country one of the grandest on
earth. 1t was to the effect that war
expenses should be stopped and our
energies and substances devoted to
The development Of our own coun-
try. Think what the result would
be in a few years if the one million
dollars day now spent to carry on a
useless conflict in the philippines
were put out upon our highways and
waterways, There would be no
mutterings from the people, either,
at having TO pay the tax. Beside this,
it would be a solution Of the idle labor
problem. .

Tampa has just emerged from
another big strike of laborerS, and is
to be congratulated upon it's tcrmi-

has been a question that many peo-

themselves, with no probability Of
solution. Strikes, as a rule, are
foolish things, but this seems to have
been ahead of the average in that re-

CHAPTER XIX.

Gently and noiselessly they went up
the broad staircase that led to Ismay's
room They passed the marble stat.
ues that cleaned palely between the
costly haugiugs, the rare pictures that
adorned the walls Paul looking on
the magnificent display, thought to
himself it was for this she deserted
me. and sold my love.
Then the bitterness died out of his
heart She was dying, and he was go
ing Ia her to forgive her.
Lord Carlswood pointed to the door
Of her room.
you had better go in alone, he
said, and Paul turning the handle,
quietly went in
He never forgot the scene, the bright
sunshine came in, softened and sub
dued through the shade Of the rose
colored blinds; the room itself was
magnhcently furnished every lux
ury, comfort was there; the sunbeams
fell on the bed with its low hangings,

so happy that we shall both forget the
wretehed past.
He raised her, and the beautiful
wan face dropped on his breast She
| tried to put her arms around his neck
| but they fell weak and helpless by her
side.
Put my arms around your neck,
darling" she whispered; and, If
have to die, let me die So"
Tears were raining down his face
her weakness touched him as her
beauty never could have done.
you shall not die, sweet" he said
'if the strength of mighty love can
bring you back to life"
Then, kneeling by her side, holding
her tightly clasped in his arms, he
told her the story of his love and his
sorrow-o of his life since he had lost
her.
She was as happy as lost child to
its mothers arms.
How strong love isl" she whis-
cred to him, Il feel that while you
love me so dearly it cannot die"
He soothed her with the long-silent
music of loving words until the sweet
eyes grew heavy, and then she said
Paul, you will not leave me if
sleep? Let me wake and find you here. :"
Waking, she found him there, and
HIS love did for her what the doctor
had said human skill could not dot
brought her back to life
Once, as Paul was sitting talking to
her she held her left hand up to him
with a smile, 1t was thin and shad-
owy
Look, she said! my ring is getting
too large for me-" He Kissed the white
hand and the gold ring She smiled
Paul" she said gently who would
think there was such a story attached
to my wedding ring?"
Tsmay recovered, and when she was
once more herself Lord Carlswood de-
clared that he would interfere no
more-that she should accompany her
husband to his own home, yet still be
acknowledged as his granddaughter.
BY that time he had grown TO have a
sincere affection and warm, true lik-
ing for Paul. He admired his talents
and respected his independence.
They made a compromise Ismay
went to her husband, and Lionel re-
NAMED with Lord Carlswood as his
heir. Paul says laughingly that he can
spare one son, for the old walls Of
Ravensdale resounded with childish
laughter and the music OF children s
voices There are times when Ismay
is inclined to think that all happened
for the best
Il should never have been either a
sensible or a contented woman if | had
not suffered" she would say to her
husband with a smile. There are tears
in her eyes and smiles on her lips
when she tells the story of her we'd
ding ring.

England after that interview he
could not look upon her face again.
He rose from his seat when he heard
the name, and stood ready to receive
his visitor. At last they stood face to
face, the Injurer and the injured, the
proud peer and the proud commoner
Paul saw stately figure bent before
him, IA grand old face quiyering with
emotion, and pale with dread
IN his courtly high-bred fashion,
Lord Carlswood held out his hand.
Il have done you grieyous wrong,
sir" he said, and ! am here to ask
your pardon Lord Carlswood was
gazing into a face as proud as his own.
Il have no pardon to give, Lord
Carlswood" was the naughty reply.
1T is too late to ask it"
you must not refuse me, said the
old nobleman
Years ago, Lord CarIswood, you
tempted from me my wife. whom
loved al no man ever loved woman
before you took from me my child
you laid my life bare and desoIate;
you robbed me Of every hope. For
such wrongs I have no pardon"
The old man bent his head with a
humility rare in him.
II did wrong. sir. did not think so
at the time; ! see it now. / did a
grfevous wrong. | am an old man, and
| ask you to forgive me"
."You ask an impossibility, was the
stern reply
Il came of a proud race" continued
the old man; "no man springing from
it ever bent his knee in supplication to
his fellcw-man. do it to you"
Paul half turned away; he saw tears
gathering in the old nobleman's eyes
I shall look upon myself as an assas-
sin unless you give me your pardon, " he
continued ut was 7 who wronged
you, not Ismay your wife. ! tempted
her-T studied every foible, every
weakness OF her character, | lured her
away from you and it is not just thai
she should bear the blame"
Paul stood in silence for a few min
utes, and then he said
Il do not understand your motive for
asking my pardon"
Lord Carlswood 8oked at him In
surprise.
you did not know that she was i'll!
Ismay Is dying, sir! I am sure, If you
would go to her, If you would speak
kindly to her, she would live she
would get better. You refuse me. For
the love of Heaven, come and visit
herr
'Ismay dying!" repeated Paul, inter-
rupting the passionate flow of words
Come with me; if she dies, | shall
feel that have killed her" and Paul,
looking, saw the old mans eyes filled
full of tears,
In the presence of death he said
kindly, 'all human love and hate dis
appears | VIII go with you.
And you forgive me?' said the low
voice
There was a short struggle, and then
Paul laid his hand on the trembling
arm. Il forgive You" he said; and
they left the house together.
