fin the warm. sea-smelling grass. He sprang to his feet at sight of her and his big, brown eyes kindled to a glow.
 Mrs. Longworth smiled at him. They were very good friends. He was a lanky overgrown lad of 15 or 16, shy, odd and dreamy. In many ways he was far older than his years. but there was d certain ineradicable boyishness about him to which her heart warmed.
 You are the very lady I was just go- ing in search off I've news to tell ma dam. Sit down. he said. eagerly, batting the big gray boulder beside him with his slim brown hand. For a moment Beatrice hesitated. She wanted to be alone just then. But his ugly, clever face was so appealing that she yielded to his petition. He flung himself contently down again in the grasses at her feet. pillowing his chin in his palms and looking up at her adoTingly.
 You are beautiful, dear lady. I love to look at you. Will you tilt that hat a little more over the left eyebrow-yes-so? Some day I shall paint you"
 When you are a great artist" said Beatrice indulgently.
 He nodded.
 Yes. I mean to be that. And now for my news. I'm going away tomorrow I've had telegram from father.''
 He drew it from an inner pocket and fiourished it at her.
 Game today. I am to join him at once. He is in Rome-think of it-in Rome. I am to begin my art studies there. And I leave tomorrow"
 I'm glad-and I'm sorry-and you know which is which," said Beatrice, batting his shaggy brown head. "I shall miss you dreadfully. Stephen"
 We have been splendid chums haven t we?'' he asked. eagerly.
 Suddenly his face changed He crept nearer her and bower his head until his forehead almost touched the hem of her dress.
 I'm glad you came here today" he said, in a low voice. "I want to tell you something, and I can tell it better here. couldn't go away without thanking you I'll make a mess of it-I never can ex- plain things. But you've been so much to me-you mean so much to me You've made me believe In things I never be- lieved in before l know now that there is such thing as a good woman-a wo- man who could make man better just because he breathed the same air with her.
 He paused a moment. and then went on in still lower tone:

THE PARTING OF HE

RY L. M. MONTGOMERY.

 Mrs. Longworth crossed She hotel piaZ- ga, descended the steps and walked down the shore road with all the grace that lent the distinction of a queen to her every movement. Two men who were lounging in a corner of the piazza looked sitter her admiringly.
 '@NaAutiful woman," commented one, lazily.
 His companion nodded.
 Pity she has such a cad for a hus- paEa. he said.
 The other glanced up with a new in Servst. &
 T don't know Longworth. but I've heard of him. Wasn't there some talk about Mrs. Longworth and Cunningham last year?"
 Yes. They were together a great deal. Still. it may have been all right. Mrs. Longworth is woman with whose good name is not easy to take liberties. Long worth has eyes and thoughts for noth- ing but money-grabbing. Cunningham is a handsome fellow, with ways that wo- men like. And it must be torthre for a sensitive. high-bred woman to be the wife of man like Longworth.''
 T suppose she married him of her own free will" said the other dryly.
 No That's where the trouble comes in l don't know the rights of the story nobody ever did, l imagine She was old Judge CarmOdys daughter. Long worth got Carmody pere under his thumb in money matters and put the screws on. They say he made Carmody's daughter the price of Carmody's freedom. The girl herself was a mere child. I dare say she sacrificed herself from an overstrain- ed sense of filiai duty, or something of that sort. I shall never forget her face on her wedding day. But she has been plucky ever since. If she has suffered she hasn't paraded it. I don't suppose Longworth ever ill-treats her, of course He isn't that sort. And he hasn't any violent bad habits. He's simply a grovel- ing cad, that's all. There'd be small pity wasted on the poor devil if his wife did run off with Cunningham
 Meanwhile Beatrice Longworth was walking down the shore road her white skirt brushing over the crisp golden grasses that fringed it. Tn a sunny hol- low among the sandhills she came upon Stephen Gordon, sprawled out luxuriously

How to Prevent cronn

It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarseness. A day or two before the ct- tack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough. Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and 1t will dispel all symptoms of crouD. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy Is used by many
 thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact. the on'y remedy that can always be dep 4nGed
 upon and that Is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all druggists adv.

Its hard when fellow can't speak of his mother because he can't say anything good of her, isn't it? My mother wasn't a good woman. When I was eight years old she went a way with scoundrel. No- body thought understood-I was such a little chap. But I did--I heard them talking-I knew she had brought shame on herself and us. And I loved her so!
 Then. somehow, as I grew up it was my misfortune that all the women around me were mean and base. They were hire lings and hated and feared them. As for father--he and I loved each other and were good chums-but he didn't believe in much. He was bitter, you know. He said that all women were alike, and I grew up with that belief. I didn't care much for anything-nothing seemed worth while. Then l came here and met you"
 He paused again. Beatrice had listened
 with gray look on her face. It would
 have startled him had he glanced up; but
 he did not and presently the halting,
 emotional, boyish voice went on:
 You have changed everything for me.
 I was nothing but a clod before. You are
 not the mother of my body, but you are of my soul. It was born of you. I shall always love and reverence you for It. You will always be my ideal. If I ever do anything worth while it will be because of you. And henceforth I shall reverence
 all women for your sake, dear lady"
 And if" said Beatrice, in voice that did not sound like her own, If I were false to your ideal of me--if I were to do l something that would destroy your faith in me-something weak or wicked"
 But you couldn't he interrupted. You couldn't!'
 But If I could" she persisted gently,
 and if did-what then?' "I would hate you" he answered. pas sionately. You would be worse than a
 murderess. You would kill every good impulse and belief in mo. I would never
 trust anything or anyboyd again. But | then" he added. his voice growing ten der again. you never will fail mel feel sure of that"
 Thank you" said Beatrice. gently. She stood up and held out here hand q think must go now. Good-by, dear lad die. Write to me often. 1 shall always
 be glad to hear from you. And-and will try to live up to your ideal of me, Stephen
 He sprang to his feet and took her
 hand. lifting 1t reverently to his lips 'I know you will Good-by. my sweet lady"
