MAX COMES TO A DEcIs1ON

MAX COMES TO n DECISION.
Ma had rushed down the dark path
way in the grounds of the casino,
stunned. sickened and horribly fright
face, AID made desperate by his losses.
His first impulse vas to take his life
and escape his present predicament,
and he might have acted on this urgent
idea If the means had at that instant
presented itself; but he had no revolt
handkerchief from a %neighboring tree
was revolving; and as throwing himself
into the sea, well, he could not plunge
into it by jumping from where he was,
and II he eventually made up his mind
to that mode of exit. he could walk
down to the beach and disappear in the
darkness.
He could ear the distant s%plashing
of the sea as if it called out to him, as
1t had to so many others equally UNI
lucky, to come down and have done
with his troubles. Why should he live?
He was head and ears in debt, he had
no income of his own, and if he We're
obliged to tell his father of his diff
culties it would only make the dear old
man miserable. He would also be mis-
cradle at his sons death. Man told
himself that nobody else really cared
for him, Edith appeared Indifferent,
and her aunt he was sure disliked him.

marry Edith and she might be persuad-
ed into ~consenting to that step, in
which case it would be a pity il he
killed himself; he could get so much
enjoyment out of her vast fortune.
The chance was worth living for; the
sea, with it's melancholy calling, might
go to the deuce; he had youth and
strength, and women had assured him
he had good looks, and what more did
Edith want? There vas every hope for
him when that silly girl came to know
her " mind and see what was best
for her.
So his brain gradually cleared itself
of bewilderment; his love of self,
momentarily thrust aside, resumed it's
usual place in the forefront of his con-
s~ideration, and the idea Of taking his
life seemed madness While there We're
such possibilities Of pleasure in the
world.
Though capable of being carried
away by his passion for gambling, Max
was a practical young man.. He had
heard since his arrival that those who
had lost their last franc at the casino
tables, could, on application, have their
expenses home betrayed by the author
tiles. who We're glad to rid themselves
of such unfortunate examples as might
scare away others from the delights of
hazarding their gold.
Ihe result of a personal interview
with an official, whose dignity might
lead to his being mistaken for a grand
duke, was that Max started early next
morning for England; so early indeed.
that he had no time to tell Surreymore
OF his departure or mention the precise
date on which his loan would be re-
paid.

TWO GUESTS At MEADOW BROOK TEA.
Farmers Fail to Respond to Invitations Of
Mr.. Collier, M. F. H.

At a tea given last week by the Meadow
Brook Hunt Club for the farmers living around
Roslyn, Wheatley Hills. Locust Valley and Jericho
only two Of the invited guests arrived the others
evidently prefeTring their own homes to the pol
ished floors and ltveried servants OF the club. Mr.
Collier has become very popular among the farmers
OF Nassau County since succeeding Foxhau P.
keene as Master Of Hounds. The farmers over
whose lands the club has hunted this autumn and
whose fences and crops have been injured have
received such large sums for the loss sustained
that they are inclined TO see the sunny side Of
fox hunting. To make them all the more cheerful
tea at the hunt club planned for them and
their wives, but when the appointed hour arrived
only one farmer and his wife came. The other
wives were apparently unable 10 persuade their
husbands to accompany them.
Mr.. Collier, it IS announced, will give encyclo-
psdias ana books to all the schools in the town
ships OF Oyster Bay and North Hampstead The
club will now probably give a few races and an
outdoor luncheon 10 do what the tea failed TO ac-
