WHERE LOVE MAY BE Il
BY JOHN BARTON OXFORD.

- HE trend of the shore lay hard
and black and ragged in the
moonlight. Long even swells lift
/ ed the yacht like a cork en- their
giant bosoms, poised her there for
moment. and then went sliding
landward Far away on a tiny dot
of an island a sleepy little lighthouse
blinked with lazy regularity-now
white, now red
In the cabin the piano tinkled mer-
rily, and snatches of ragtime and ex-
cerpts from the latest musical farce
were greeted with much laughter and
noisy applause.
There was not even a catspaw of
wind The yacht lay becalmed, riding
over the swells like great white sea-
bird with folded wings.
In two chairs near the wheel sat
man and a girl The girl was dressed
in white: her face was hard and set;
her eyes were fixed on the distant point
where the breaking waves outlined the
shore in frothing white. The mans
eyes were regarding the girl graVely.
His mouth was set tightly-so tightly
that harsh lines appeared and gave
his usual careless, jovial face new
and far less attractive expression. But
presently the harsh lines relaxed some
what and the man smiled-a rather ar
tificial smile and fraught with much
cynicism. He leaned toward the girl
AT least" he said slowly, Il have
been thoroughly honest for once"
The girl did not move and for some
time she did not speak. When she did
it was one questioning word in col
orless voice.
'Why?"
The man laughed as II he were i'll
at ease.
Why" he repeated her question.
I'm sure 1 don't know. Believe me,
I seldom am guilty OF the weakness
of telling the truth-the whole truth.
You are the only one who has ever
heard it from my lips, althOugh"-his
voice Acknowledgement gossip would
give you the story, somewhat ampli-
fed and with a host of narrowing de-
tails"
II thought" the girl began.
That l really was possessed of the
money my appearance and bearing
seem to indicator he finished quickly.
They all think that. 1t has been
amusing generally. Well, the fact is.
l haven't a sou. I'm a punctured bal
loon; a social confidence man; a rank

not in the force of its expression.
The complicated conditions OF our
civilization are largely 70 blame Ior
woman's subterfuges and deceits IN
love. If youths could marry their hrst
loves We might perhaps have a golden
age of sincerity. But boys are not able
in our strenuous days of competition
to earn living. Why, their best ef-
forts could not manage even to furnish
married love with pocket money.
This stern reality, however, does not
incculate young love against the wish
u be loved in return And so II goes on

noble?" she persisted.
Never" he replied.
"And you say you've told me the
whole truth? ?" she still questioned.
He nodded. The girl rose; her eyes
flashed.
You haven't" she said, with spirit.
You haven't said a word about why
you are poor. You haven't mentioned
to me that it was because you shoul-
dered your fathers obligations, which
you might quite as we'll have evaded,
had you been so minded
The cause is immaterial: it is the
effect that counts" said he.
You shall not say that" she said,
hotly
For a moment he was tempted to
take her in his arms and tell her that
nothing should matter, nor height nor
depth, nor powers nor principalitles.
He was a starving wanderer and here
was food. Then cool, calm judgment
returned.
Exit your pictured hero" he said

They stood facing each other. The
moonlight glinted on the polished brass
work of the rail and binnacIe. Inc
sleepy little lighthouse blinked its red
and white with stole regularity. Inc
tinlkling piano wes accompanied by
voices raised in gay snatches OF song
The girls fingers worked nervously.
The tears oVerfioWed her eyes and ran
unheeded down her face. The man
stared helplessly In the cabin the
song came to an end amid much laugh
ter and clapping of hands
The man came close to the girl. He
intended to relieve the tension of the
situation by a bit of felicitous chaff.
Instead he found her hand in his and
his eyes very close to hers. 1t was
something like a groan that escaped
him.
God help me, how 1 love yCu!' ha
cried. all his pent UP emotion in the
words.
Tom Van Remsen came up from the
cabin some time later. He approached
the pair by the wheel with little de-
precating cough of warning.
Come on down and join the fun in
the cabin, you two mooners," he said.
The girl sprang up with happy
laugh.
Tommy, DEAR" she chided. please
don't speak so disrespectfuIly Of my
friends!'

Proverbs Heard in Mexico.

It is better to go around than to fall
down. Expressing the fact thai it is
often better to avoid a difficulty than
to try to overcome it.
The devil is not astute because he is
the devil, but because he is old. Used
to express the value of experience.
When it rains we all get wet. The
Mexican way of saying, Misfortunes
never come singly."
When bread is cut crumbs are left.
Expressing the fact that we all have
a share in our neighbors' good fortune.
After the child is drowned cover up
the well. The Mexican way Of saying,
After the horse is stolen lock the
stable"
With one hand wash the other and
with both the face. The Mexican way
of saying, You tickle me and Ill
tickle you.''
The noise is more than the powder.
The Mexican way of saying it is hot
air."

WEALTHY SECRETARY.

Miss Isabel Hagner, private secretary
of Mrs Roosevelt, has fortune ample

Tuxedo or for division of her life be-
tween Fifth avenue and Belgrave

self when, with q thinner purse, she

The girl turned her eyes and looked
at him steadily. In the moonlight her
beauty made him faint and sick at
heart with hopelessness.
"Why?" she asked again, simply.
"Because-because," he stammered,
there was something about you diff
ferent from the rest of womankind-
something that touched my respect and
pride and-and-'

girl bit her lips.

Loss of Sleep.

The length of time it is possible II
keep awake is surprising. A PhiladeI-
phia physician names a medical man
who went without sleep for eight days
and nights, and another who did not 60
to bed for eighteen days. but got all
the sleep he had while on horseback.
A third did not sleep for fifteen days
and nights, but permanently injured

LONDON REAL ESTATE.

The highest priced real estate in
London is near the Bank of England.
Land sells there at the rate of 1915 per
square foot-$16, ,250, 900 an acre. From
this center the price diminishes in a
receding tide, rising again in the
Strand to a price of from $50 to 500
a square foot. In Bond street, in the
West End, a still higher price of $175
per square foot. or more than $500, 900
an acre, has been reached.

Fertile Cuba.

The soil of Cuba is extremely fruitful.
Cabbages there are so large that heads
weighing twenty pounds each are COM

may be eaten from fourteen to eighteen

after sowing, while corn produces three
crops per year. Sweet potatoes grow
