the door to open it the consciousness
of his uncertainty regarding Luella
Marsh swept out of his thought even
the sense that he was actually bidding
goodby to the home he had known for
thirty years. Would this woman he
loved as never in all his life before
would she choose the life he had
chosen? She was rich, or her. father
was. She was gifted, an aristocrat by:
birth and training, a woman of strong
and original personality, with many,
impulses not yet known even to John
Gordon. He was almost startled at the
sudden realization that he was in igno-
rance concerning her actual character

ceS0ed- Yet he knew that according
to her answer now would depend the

become engaged while he was in his

problem, although the woman in all
the world to him was at the heart of
all that was great and possible.
He opened the door and stepped out.
The roar of the city smote his senses
with new meaning as he went down
the steps and entered the stream of the

to what extent she loved him, for hui

creed Of his life, and the woman who
was to share all with him must love

people-he was one of them now.
Would she love him as such, or would
she cling to the traditional selfishness
of her position?

strained a movement on Luella's part
to interrupt with word. why should
I not do this, who have all my life

She did not look at him While asking
the question, but in the silence that
followed before he replied she turned
her face full toward him. His answer
came very calmly, but his voice in
spite of him trelnbled little
THE woman who becomes my wife

share alike whatever the future con-
tains.''
1t was perhaps at this moment that
Luella Marsh had her first glimpse
into John Gordon's real character. She
had never given him credit for much
imagination or poetic feeling. In real
ity he had great deal Of both. But
she did not change her position of Sc

her head little as she said:

She put her hands over her face, and
John Gordon watched and waited. His
heart was hungry for her love, but his
soul trembled for what he thought was
! to be her decision. AS the minutes
went by and she still made no motion
his conviction deepened that his knowl-
| edge of her character and motives was
| superficial. All that he really knew
was to some degree the strength of her
| personality. He knew she could not be
moved By pleading. If she would not

its own cause, John Gordon knew that
no other motive would prevail.
When she finally lifted her head, she

full and frank into his face But what
she said surprised him at first until he

A Venice Industry.

Venice owes tie accumulation Of
great wealth from a new industry to
one of her natives named .Joquin. 1t
was in the year 1866 that he observed
that the scales of fish called the

imenting with it he discovered that
when beads were dipped into it and
then dried they assumed the appear

was easily worn away. and successive
experiments led to the manufacture of
hollow glass beads, all blown separate

and finally coated inside with the
pearly liquid, the latter being protected
with wax. This branch of industry is
carried On in Venice to this day.

When the mother tried to remove the
