LEAP YEAR PROPOSAL TO STARVING MAN

Brown was homeless and penniless
and sick with fever. The Judge de-
clared he would not send a man to the
workhouse for stealing bread when
starving. Browns story was read by
a woman who gives her name as Mrs.
William Durham. In her letter to
Judge Fielder she states that she owns
a hotel and summer resort near Mon
tague, Mich. Since her husband died,
she says, she has been extremely lone
some. She longs for some man to
love her and to assist her in the work
on the farm and she offers the place to
Brown.

that this Is true"
"Of course, I am glad and proud"
said Maxine. But it's horribly hard
to see no more Of you-to-night of all

edge for me-one that he did not

him see how they pierced me. .'It will

before you begin the days work stop

something that you will like very
much"
I went quickly, as finished speak
ing, from the boudoir to the dressing
room, where Agnes was putting away
my things for the night. She never
leaves the room when I am out of it,
for she is a dragon in guarding my
jewels, which are pretty If not very
valuable. Tonight the famous neck
lace was in the box with such of my
own things as I had not sold or
pawned for Maxine. I had left the
queer red leather case with Noel
Brent, and brought the diamonds
away with me in my pocket; but as
soon as I reached the theater, unseen
| by Agnes. had slipped the necklace
| into a little embroidered silk bag in
which I sometimes carried a purse
and handkerchief. This had thrust
into the jewel-box, so that uncon-
sciously my maid was guarding $780,
900 franks with Of diamonds, not
counting my few trif1es.

to forget for few moments, but;when
the woman pretended to be had died
on the stage, and been resurrected
into the woman I must be in real life,
all the pressing problems had to be
solved at once.
First there was Maxine to be put
off and pacified-Maxime whose help
and loving protection I needed so
much, yet must deny myself, and hurt
instead.
He was waiting for me again at the
door of my boudior and had at least
one thing to be thankful for-I denied
myself to everybody else, refusing all
invitations for the evening after the
theater. He took my hands and
kissed them passionately; but his face
conscience gave me a quick stab of
fear.
