Confession was at his tongue tip
when he looked into her big, round eyes
and read there the awful disappoint-
ment of her loving heart, Her cher
lshed plan had failed.
Too late" she gasped.
II mean il is too late-too late to
sell them tonight" He was making the
effort Of his life lie must not give up.
He must not confess For her sweet
sake he must conceal the crushing
truth For her he must fight the fight
Tomorrow morning Will be soon
enough" he said. At least this would
give him time to think.
He cOnfided many things to his pillow
that night and adopted many manly
resolutions. Among them was one to
the effect that the splendid little wom-
an beside him should never, never
| know. That was at once a noble and
silly resolution, noble because it was
conceived in loving tenderness of her
silly because he could not keep the
truth from her.

her reasons, though. If Thompson had
only known it. he was not in the slight
est danger. While he was tearing his
heart out at home that evening two
great bulls happened to meet in a box
at the opera.

That was the end of it. The conver-
sation turned upon something worth
while-the new prima donna perhaps.
The first thing that happened in the
Stock Exchange next morning sent the
market kiting. The air was full Of
bears. Thompson just stood and jump
ed up and down until somebody near
by told him not to make a blanked
fool of himself
Il WON'T shouted Thompson, jump

And what do you think he did with
the first money he drew out of that
deal? What else would you expect him
to do but have those loathsome shams
replaced by diamonds the purest that
money could buy:
Then. do you believe. he and Mrs L.
laughed and cried together and had the
most enjoyable time of their lives over
his story of clever Thompsons clever
trick on his trustful little wife.
"Ah, but | wasn't so very trustful"
she said at last Il had a feeling, an
intuition perhaps. that if those dia-
monds were put into the safety deposit
vault something would happen to
them"
Yes said Thompson. Il remember
how obstinately you opposed my prop
oSition But. now sweetheart, you
shall keep them always at home"
No" Mrs T. answered. Il have an
intuition that they will be safer in the
deposit vault-now."

Mrs. T. could not fail to perceive that
something had gone wrong Thompson
had hardly entered the house when she
asked him what it was
In an incohercnt way, like man
talking in his sleep, he told her of his
lesser troubles; how the bottom had
fallen out OF the market; how hundreds
of longs had been ruined; how he him

Winter Than for Six Years.
The eleventh annual meeting of the
Organized Charity Association was
held Tuesday evening in the parlors OF
the Baptist church. Previous invita-
lions had been sent out to the various
charitable societies In the city, and they
most willingly accepted. Rev. David
Dempster opened the meeting with
prayer, and was followed by a review
of the object and progress OF the char-
ity work by the president. Mrs. Holmes.
A more detailed account Of the work
was given by the secretary, MISS BIN
ford The report of the treasurer. Mrs.
Denmead, showed the amount of money
in the treasury as $3T. Mrs. Whitehead
gave a condensed report of donations
and goods distributed, together with
the methods of work. Mr.. Kelly. col
lector. told Of his experience In can

The report of the Woman's Relief Corps
was given by Mrs. Alice Reed, the In
ter Church by Mrs. Goodale, the Saliva
ton Army by Captain Burnett, and the
Humane Society by the president, Ben
jamin Nichols.
Mrs Holmes gave a brief report OF
the sewing school. Mr.. Pemberton, as
overseer of the poor said there were
less families called for help during the
past winter than for six years previous,
Notwithstanding the cold winter and
the scarcity of work. This he accounted
for because of the methods used by the
different societies and the growing de-
sire of more people to help themselves.
The reports We're all very interesting
and gave evidence of much interest and
personal effort to bring about a better
condition OF the poor and to help them
overcome their conditions.
