young mans arm.

And that night the dread of that beau

thing more than dread.
1t was perhaps full two weeks more
before Noteworthy Peters ventured
upon a further visit to the Doctors.
The Doctor had aged. His wife was
right. But he extended to Peters a
right royal welcome.
These surprises Peters," he ex-
claimed "are coming thick and fast.

most magnificently carved arm chair

an ordinary chair. II was high back

side and extending down each side

binders. They are often seen in pic

There was a sudden movement that

him seemed just a bit embarrassed.
It was this man that Dr.. John Bar
tholomew addressed. My young friend,
Peters he remarked, for you 1 have

the third person who was present
This third person was a woman-a
young woman. To Peters mind, judg-
ing from her outward appearance, this
girl was one of the most beautiful
young women that this old world ever
held. Dr. John Bartholomew turned
to this young woman and touched her
upon the sleeve.

tinued, lightly, this is my young
friend and my good friend, Mr.. Hold
worthy Peters, one of the limbs of the
law"
Peters in his momentary embar-

woman was looking neither to the

The Fear of Laughter.
From the Atlantic

Men who fear nothing else shrink
from joke upon themselves. Soldiers
who do not finch before opposing guns
dread to be made ridiculous. v .
Woe to the national hero who makes
one trif1ing mistake which may sub
ject him to clever caricature! His
meritorious career is henceforth shad-
owed by one co1ored Illustration. A
comic paper will tip the scales of JUS
tice, snatch the victors prize from his
extended palm, and rob the orator of
his choicest laurels. A brilliant satire
will mar the fortunes of the greatest
statesman; laugh will turn the tide
of political convention. Indeed, the
joke is fast becoming mightier than
the pen The orator has learned It's
value, and even the clergyman resorts
to 1t when he desires to stir the flag
ging interest in his flock. 1t furnishes
sufficient excuse for the impertinence
of children, and in it's name the daily
papers deride the highest national dig
nitaries What is the meaning of It's
steady growth in power, and what re-
suits may we predict from it's humor-
Gus tyranny? Is there a chance that
our keen relish for fun may finally pro-
duce kind of humorous dyspepsia re-
sulting from overindulgence unless
with epicurean discrimination we de-
mand quality, not quantity, and stub
bornly refuse to swallow other than
that which should appease a wholesome,
nay, cultivated, appetite for jokes?

Peters started for the chair. but the
Doctors wife started up. "No--nol"
she exclaimed hurriedly, mot him
not-not anybody but yourself. 1t is
your chair, and only you shall sit in
It," The Doctor acquisced-he felt the
force of the sentiment that she had
expressed. He took his seat in the
massive chair. 1t was indeed COM
forta BILE. Peters also took his accus-
toned place. The Doctor drew the big
chair around so that it faced his COM
panions and talked for some little time.
FINALLY, without any warning, he
dropped off into deep sleep. Peters
rose to go.
Stay" commanded Mrs. John Bar
tholomew, the Doctor will wake up
again after awhile" Peters stayed
he knew not why, and read to her. Sud-
denly he became conscious that she was
looking at him. He dared not raise
his head. Unconsciously he read OH,

read aloud a passage he had not meant
to read. 1t was love passage. And
when he finished it he heard a faint cry.
and this woman near him had seized
MS hand-the one that lay upon the
table-and rained upon it kiss after
kiss. She would not loose her hold.
Something that she was whispering
forced itself upon his brain.
Il love you" If she said it once,
she said it a hundred times. And as
she said it her eyes were looking into
Peters, and his, perforce, were looking
into hers. He leaped to his feet and
strobe to the fireplace.
Il must CO." he kept repeating. Il
must go" He stepped to the Doctors
chair to waken him.
Doctor" he called gently. Doc
tor" He shook him. There was no
response. Peters glanced at the won1-
an. She was sitting pale and still,
looking not at Peters, but at the figure
of her husband. Suddenly She sprang
for the telephone-there was one there
in the room-and rang the bell. Not
once had she approached her husband.
The old mans head was sunk upon his
breast and his eyes were sightless.
When she had finished with the tele-
phone she came to Peters.

must lay him on the bed. He has
these spells-sometimes. They come
on frequently. He must lie down.
They got him somehow into the next
room and upon the bed. Suddenly

haps he was more than half right, that
she had been attracted by the old fell

doctor on that first evening at the
hour of parting, don't you let this

any difference with you. Be sure of

you come around here" con-
tinued the old DOCTOR lust when and
as often as you please. and there's al
ways your pipe and your chair in he
corner-and Wen talk about the same
old things in the same old way
His study was upon the second
floor. He did not descend with Pc
ters to the door, but Mrs. John Bar
tholomew did. When they reached the
floor below she held out her hand. AS
Peters took it he felt her warm fingers
close upon his, and something thrilled
him as nothing up to that time had
ever done. And as he took her hand
she looked into his eyes.
"Mr. Peters,, said Mrs. John Bar
tholomew, II hope to see you often
both for the, doctors sake"-she
paused for an instant and then went
on in a much lower voice-"and for
my own she added.
Noteworthy Peters head whirled as
he left the place-he knew not why.
He FASTENED home and threw himself
into a chair by an open window and
thought about old John Bartholomew
and his strange young wife. Some
thing, he knew not what, impelled him
suddenly to make a light and to stand
before his cheval glass in the corner
and see what like he was. He felt no
vanity in recognizing the fact that he
dered, and of a well-favored counte-
nance. And as he gaZed upon mis-
counterfeit presentment. he realized the
fact that the old doctor, his good friend
was thin and tremulous, and that he
was bent a bit about the shoulders
and that he was slightly deaf and
that his eye may have been a trfle
dim. But the thing that Peters saw
that night, look where he would, was
the vision of a woman with eyes that
looked into his. He began to dread
this woman.
Peters went again and yet again to
old Bartholomew and he was made
doubly welcome. And as the old doctor
wife. She was clever in every sense of
the word, and she had lively ideas up
on every topic Of the day. She UNDER
stood men and women. And impartial
ly she watched the two men as they
sat with their pipes before the fire.
She sat az a small table with some
fancy work. One night Peters broke

below. The physician had arrived. He
assembled, and examined the old man
who lay upon the bed. At the conclu-
sion of the examination he dropped the
hand that he had been holding. and
turned to the two within the room.
DIR. John Bartholomew is dead"
he quietly announced.
- .
Three months passed DR.. John
bartholomew had been laid away in
his grave. His wife, by virtue of his
will. had succeeded to all his worldly
goods-and they were not a few. She
still lived in the old house, but save
for the attendance of Peters at the
funeral, he had not entered it, for
there chung to him a memory that was
not pleasant. Away from this woman,
and with her, Peters had a dread of
her. But again it is well to state all
the truth, and to state it fully it is
necessary to say that, in spite of Pc
tiers dread of her, there was still an
unknown quality, that drew men to-
ward her with force that it was diff
cult to resist. For Peters had looked
into her eyes, and he had felt the
touch of her hand, and he had felt the
touch of her lips upon his hand, and
to this day he has not forgotten that
which he cannot we'll forget.
He married-and she knew it. She
wrote him a note about it. 1t was a
mere friendly worldly note. such as
anyone might write. But later she
wrote once more-wrote to say to him
that she was going to sell her house,
and that she expected to go abroad.
There were some few things that she
wished to hand to him-mementoes of
the doctor
Peters went to her. He would rather
that he had stayed away. For he knew
as he saw her again that in her beau
tiful eyes she held more power than
any other woman in the world-she
had more magnetism in her touch, and
he could guess only too well that there
was more sweetness in her lips But
it was the sweetness of hell. He came
out of that place that day staggering
like a drunkard-with him was the
memory of a woman who had gone up
on her knees to him. not once, but
twenty times, to beg him to come with
her, to leave honor and good name
behind. and to fly, anyhow. anywhere
1t is an awful thing to see the soul of
any man or any woman laid bare-and
Peters cannot help but carry the sight
of hers down to his grave.
She left the place, he knew not when
or how But she was not yet through
with Noteworthy Peters.
II was a week or so later that he
returned home one evening to find
what? Nothing more nor. less than

The name Lee is derived from LAY, >
'1eah" or 'leaz." each meaning plain
or entitled land.
He who lived in such a spot was
called "of the lay which name in
time became Lee.
The variations are. legion; the name
appearing with different spellings ac-
cording to the changes of time and
language.
Some of the earlier forms were de
la Lee, de LIE, LIE, Lie, de la Lee, de
Leye, Lye. Lehe, Lee, Lighe, Lygh,
Leyra, Leg, Leigh, Leighe.
De Lee was probably the original
name, gradually assuming the form

compiled soon after the Conquest, are
the names Lega, de lie and Lee. FIRE.
quent reference to the Lees is also
made in the Rolls of the Court of
Pleas, as given during the reigns of
Richard l and King John.
The family of Lee, indeed, is one of
the most ancient in the records of the
English peerage.
In the eleventh century we find the
name of Launcelot Lee, of Loudon,
France. He was a friend of William
the Conqueror and went over to Eng
land with him, distinguishing himself
at the battle of Hastings. When the
lands of the native English nobility
were divided among, the followers of
William, Launcelot Lee was given a
fine estate in Essex.
Lionel Lee accompanied Richard
