When the officer knocked an fnoffen-

his room. Upon being requested to pro-
duce witnesses the Japs said that there
was "wahine downstairs, she see him.

and most serious kind. Where any
space was left, it was filled up with
portraits of eminent divines and phil
anthropists, and every article in the
room was neatly and methodically ar
ranged. In fact, it presented as
marked contrast to Jacks rooms as it
was possible to conceive.
Jack had not been inside it for
years, but he remembered distinctly
how he used to loathe the room and ire
"fixings."
''Now, my dear Jack, pray help your
self-those cigars l know you approve;
heard you praise them at the Hurst,
and l brought box at once"
Thanks" said Jack, and he lit a
cigar.
Stephen mixed the Apollinaris and
brandy; and leaned back serene ana
amiable.
"And now, my dear Jack, am ready
to answer all questions"
Jack looked down and frowned
thoughtfully He did not know how to
put them. Stephen smiled maliciously
behind his hand.
''You want to know how it comes
about that Miss Rolfe is under my
mothers charge-under my charge, I
may say?"
Under yours?" said Jack, grimly.
Stephen nodded.

There is no mystery. The fact is, 1

but very eccentric"

Stephen started, and concealed his
expression of surprise by reaching for

that his appearance and manner does
not correspond with the station he oc-
cupies?"

ERANkNEss OF MANNER.

OriSOn SWEET Marden In Success
There is no more delightful trait in
the young or the old than absolute
frankness and openness of nature,
that transparency of character which
lets us see the best and the worst in
them, their strong and their weak
points, without any effort at conceal
ment.
Everybody admires the open-heart-
ed, the people who have nothing to
conceal, and who do not try to cover
up their faults and weaknesses. They
are, as a rule, large-hearted and mag
unanimous. They inspire love and con-
fidence, and, by their very frankness
and simplicity, invite the same quail
ties in others.
Secretiveness repels as much as
franknesS attracts. There is some
thing about the very inclination to
conceal or cover up which arouses
suspicion and distrust. We can not
have the same confidence in people
who possess this trait no matter how
good they may seem to be, ais in frank,
sunny natures. Dealing with these
secretive people is like travelling on
stage coach on a dark night. There
is always feeling of uncertainty.
We may come out all right, burt there
is lurking fear of some pitfall or
unknown danger ahead of us. We
are uncomfortable because of the I'M
certainities. They may be all right,
and may deal squarely with us, but
the trouble is that we are not sure,
and can not trust them. No matter
how polite or gracious a secretive per-
son may be, we can never rid our
selves of the feeling that there is a
motive behind his graciousness, and
that he has AIN Interior purpose in
view. He is always more or less of an
enigma, because he goes through life
wearing a mask. He endeavors to
hide every trait that is not favorable
to himself. Never if he can help it,
do we get a glimpse of the real man.
How different the man who comes
out in the open, who has no secrets,
who reveals his heart to us, and who
is frank, broad and liberal! How we
all love and trust him! We forgive
him for many slip or weakness, be-
cause he is always ready to confess
his faults, and to make amends for
them. If he has bad qualities, they
are always in sight, and we are ready
to make allowances for them. His
heart is sound and true, his sympathies
are broad and active. The very quail
ties he possesses frankness and SIM
plicity,-are conductive to the growth
of the highest manhood and woman
hood.

with a gesture of alarm, pointed to the

and with a sudden cry drew her nearer
to him as if to protect her.
