phans with heritage Of debt, living In

huence of his chum. Frank Mason, gets
a position in the law Office Of "Old
Nick Frye in Boston. Frye is scound-
rel and is attorney for Franks father,
a wealthy Boston merchant. He wants
Albert to keep up his intimacy with
Frank, who has yacht, plenty Of mon
ey and nothing to do but amuse him
self. In an evenings outing with
Frank, Albert fritters away $40. AL
the same time Alice Is walking four
miles a day to teach school and sup

a month as bribe to spy upon the
Nasons. Albert tells Frank Of his
debts, Alice's struggles and his dislike
of expensive follies. Frank confesses
his disgust with an idle life and induces
his father to make Albert his attorney
in place of Frye. Albert has $4,000
year to attend to Nason's affairs. He
takes Frank to his village home for
Christmas, with the inevitable result
that his friend Is smitten with Alice.
Frank Is delighted with the country
holiday of sleighrides and skating.
Alice keeps himat a distance and tells
her brother that his chum ought to

Peterson Of Stockholm, whose son and
his wife and child were wrecked on
the Maine coast. Frye Is the attorney.
Uncle Terry goes to Boston and after
telling his story in full gives Frye 5000

takes a hint from Alice and studies
law. Albert plans a summer vacation
trip to his home for himself and chum.
Alice resolves not to fall in love with
the city chap according to the plot.
Alice avoids meeting Frank alone.
However, he scatters tips so freely
among the villagers that gossips set
him down as a millionaire counting the
pretty schoolma'am. Franks yacht,
Gypsy, lands on Southport island. AL
bert gets lost and the yacht sails with

drew his coat Off and spread it for her
to sit upon.
"It's nice and cool here" she said,
"but we must not stay long. Blanch

Frank had thought many times Of
what he would say and how he would
say it, but now that the critical mo-
ment had come his well chosen words
vanished. He had remained standing
and for q moment looked at Alice as
she sat with hat hidden face, and
then his heart-burst came.

"you must know what / want to say,

Maine to say it, and can you-is there

The prisoned hand was at his lips
now, and then she raised her face, and
oh, divine sight, those blue eyes
were filled with tears.
One instant flash Of heaven only,
and then a change came. She arose
quickly and. turning away, said half
petulantly: "Oh, please don't speak Of
that now and spoil our visit. Let US

But still he held the little hand, and
as she tri d to draw it away he said
pitifully: do you mean 1t, Alice?
Is it no? Oh. don't let me go away
without one word Of hope"
Then she raised her one free arm
and, resting it against nearby tree,
pressed her face upon it and almost
whispered: "Oh, don't ask me now!
I can't say yes and can't say no."
IL shall believe that your heart says
yes" he responded quickly, slipping
one arm around her waist, land until

She drew herself away and, turning
q piteous face toward him. exclaimed,

For one moment he stood dumfound-

lieve they were only returning to hasten
the army Of Syphax to join the Ro-
mans. Livy censures the Roman Con-
sui, who, after the defeat at Canine,
told the deputies Of the allies the
whole loss they had sustained. "This
consul" says Livy, "by giving too
faithful and open account Of his de-
feat, made himself and his army still
more contemplate" The result Of the
simplicity Of the consul was that the
allies, despairing that the Romans
would ever recover their losses, deemed
1t prudent to make terms with Hanni-
bal. Plutarch tells an amusing story,
in his way, Of the natural progress Of
a report which was contrary to the
wishes of the government. The un-
happy reporter suffered punishment as
long as the rumor prevailed, though at
last it proved true.
A stranger landing from Sicily at a
BARRIERS shop delivered all the particu-
lars Of the defeat Of the Athenians, OF
which, however. the people were yet
|uninformed. The barber leaves untrim-

barber, who in his confusion could not
give any satisfactory account Of the
first reporter. He was condemned as
q spreader Of false news and disturb

were invincible. The barber was
dragged to the wheel and tortured un-

to him from his recollections Of the
fate Of Stratocles.
This person persuaded the Athenians
to perform public sacrifice and
thanksgiving for victory obtained at
sea, though he well knew at the time
that the Athenian fleet had been totally
defeated. When the calamity could
no longer be concealed the people
charged him with being an imposter,
but Stratocles saved his life and molli-
fed their anger by the pleasant turn he
gave the whole affair. Have done

to me that you have spent three days
in the pleasure of victory?" Comment
ing on this incident, Disraeli remarks:
II think that this spreader Of good but
fictitious news should have occupied
the wheel Of the luckless barber, who
had spread bad but true news, for the
barber had no intention Of deception,
but Stratocles had, and the question
here to be tried was not the truth or

reporters intended to deceive their fell

When they reached the spot she at
once developed an unusual interest IN
the mill and began an animated con
versation with the miller regarding II

"You two go after lilies," she said
when Frank had the boat ready, "and
leave me here. I'm afraid the sun on
the water will bring back my head
ache"
"Al, right, only your smiles will be
wasted on the miller. He is too old to
appreciate them. We won't be gone
long" said Alice as she stepped into
the boat. And now what spirit Of mis-
chief had come over her? She joked
and tested on all manner of subjects

In response to all this he said but lit

the boat for the shore, and as 1t came

"Oh, we must not stop. It's almost

Then, as he led her to the boat, bis

and this time she did not try to escape
its pressure.
When, two days afterward, the broth

Blanch put one arm caressingiY around

And poor Romeo, standing by, had
