l could scarcely realize that 1t was
indeed Dexter Boyton who came back
10 me after that summer out OF town.
He had been such a blithe, light
hearted fellow before he went away.
Whistling over his work, singing
matches Of operas on the stairs, smok-
ing one cigar in two weeks and always
ready with a cherry word.
Now he went about grave, pre-occu-
pied. The same straight, steady look
put Of his eyes. but behind it some
thing 1t hurt my heart to see.
l pondered much over the change.
Why had his clear. flexible whistle
become a monotonous dead level Of
sound? Why had he ceased singing
and taken to smoking in~cessently?
hearted boy leaped in one brief sum-
mel into stern, unyielding manhood?
Was 1t love or money?
l assured my wife that it was money,
I did 1t because l wanted to save the
boy.
Let even the best Of women suspect
a wound Of the heart and she will drop
the probe OF her curiosity into the
ugly hole until the helpless sufferer
sweats with agony.
There is this difference between men
and women as regards tine past. A
nan will bury the dead love, tramp
the earth down hard in the new-made
grave and go on his way. But a
woman can never quite say 1T is
dead" For the rest OF ne life she
must spend precious hours trying to
ga1vanize a corpse. It may be that
love never really lies In a woman's
heart. 1 don't know. But l was glad
that l had put Molly on a false scent
about Dexter.
She was 80 pleasant in her own
bright, easy way; talking politics and
literature whenever l dragged Boyton
home with me for a social evening
that by degrees tba boy began drop
ping in of his W accord az he had
been wont to do before he went away
for that summer out Of town. Only
once in the six months that followed
did Molly make a single bad break

mattresses. By and by a customer or

rapidly. Finally the entire side was
monopolized by them. Next they en-
croached on the middle row Of tables,
literally crowding the men to the wall.
A smoking room and restaurant were
opened up stairs, and there the women
did not go. A man luncher asked the
proprietor why he did not open a room
upstairs for the girls, and The reply
was: I'D like to put EN- in the sub

It was on a raw. bleak day in March
that the boy came into my private Of

face.

moved to the window and looked out
mechanically. Standing there with his
back to me the poor fellow told me
all about It. It was neither love nor
money. Until last summer he had be-
lieved himself an orphan. But he was
moi. Out in one Of the western states
was a gray-haired man serving a long
sentence. He was his father. He had
seen him for the first time nine months
ago. The question came stern and
abrupt.
You will agree with me. sir. that

It was probably known to nearly
every Roman citizen how the mortar
which cemented the stones Of their
buildings was made-just as It Is now
known to the majority Of E~nglishmen
that the principal ingredient Of NOR
tar in England is street ~scrapings.
But, the knowledge being general, no
body wrote 1t down. and in time, as
the Romans shifted their building upon
slaves and foreigners, the recipe Of
their mortar was lost. So far it has
not been discovered. though the secret
of 1t would be immensely valuable, for
the cement outlasts the very stones
which 1t joins.

Tho Fashionable Frowner.

Even in these days Of ultra-modern-
ness the subject Of wrinkles is one OF
vast importance and a new preventive
has been evolved, It is called by the
suggestive name OF "frowner," and
consists simply Of a rather stir bit Of
white paper about the size and shape
OF a postage stamp, and having on
its back a similar coating Of gum. Es-
pecially 1t is designed as a preventive
Of the wrinkles between the brows or
at the corners OF the eyes; and in.
these places, after being moistened,
these should be pasted whenever one
is about to engage In some occupation
that causes the habit Of "wrinkling"
At the fashionable shops Of large cities
"frowners" are now as regularly on
sale as almost any other accessories Of
the toilet. Many, however, prefer to
make them at home, a process simple
and inexpensive, It aalso been found
by those who are Ingenious that It Is
best to cut them CIRCULAR in shape
instead Of square, as hey leave less Of
a trace when removed Heavy writing
paper from which to fashion them is
available to all, and 4 little dissolved
gum arabic will stick them on good
and tight.-MontreaI Herald and Star.

AS We advance from youth to middle
age, a new field Of action opens, and
a different character is required. The
flow of gay, impetuous spirits begins
to subside; life gradually assumes a
graver cast; the mind a more sedate
and thoughtful turn. The attention
now transferred from pleasure to
interest; blAt is, TO pleasure difflsed
over a wider extent and measured by
