cover his face. to- take her into his
arms.
"Alan." she cried. "oh, my darling,
are you not glad to see me?"
There was still no doubt in her
mind. She thought that the Joy Of
seeing her had been too great, and
that he was trying to recover from
the shock. She had no doubt, poor
soul, at all. He loved her, therefore
her coming to him must be inexpres.
sible Joy.
Then Alan uncovered his haggard
face. "Glad? No! 1t has ruined my
life!" he cried brutally. But for the
moment he could think of nothing but
Joyce-his Joyce, with whom life had
begun so joyfully, and whose heart he
must now break, as his own had been
broken. Il wish were dead!" he
said, with q sob.
"Alan!" The anguish in her voice
matched his. "Is that what you have
to say to me, your wife, the mother
Of your child, who has undergone
all hardships, and who has just lived
on because you were in the world?
Oh, Alan. If you do not want me, I
had better co."
She turned, walking unsteadily.
holding her child's hand tightly. And
then great temptation assailed Alan
Mackenzie. The temptation to let
her go, to let her be lost to him, to
say nothing to Joyce; but to go on
as If the days work had never been.
And then he saw in a flash what his
life would be. How every moment of
happiness with Joyce would have its
corresponding moment of bitterness
when he was alone; how he must live
double life, always on the brink Of
detection. Not worse, perhaps, that
the life parted from Joyce; but then
he would be an honest man, and not q
traitor. He put his temptation away
from him, thanking God that he could
do so, knowing that Joyce would not
love man who was dishonorable. So
before Veronica had staggered dozen
steps away he called to her hoarsely
to come back. She turned at once
obedient as always, and for a mo-
ment he hated himself for his brutal
ity to so gentle woman. Her tears
were falling down the beautiful face
She looked up at him with the old
look of faithful love, still pushing
the child towards him.
"Yes," she said, questioning him
what is it, Alan?"
Il am married." he said, crudely
and hoarsely, thinking it best to tell
her at once. Il thought you wero
dead. heard nothing from you since
l left you; it is four years ago. They
told me all on board were drowned
and could. hear nothing of you
What wonder then I thought you
were dead? And so 1 married, Yer
onica-I am married now!"
And then for a long time there was
silence between them.

and even if there had been he prob

Just as was about to give up in

Names from South Africa Are Given to
Unfortunate Youngsters.
One of the results of the war in South
Africa is an outbreak of curious
names. Luckless infants born at or
about the ttone of great events are be-
ing christened after the events them
selves, as we'll as after the more promi-
nent individuals concerned. Redvers
Butler Thompson was used few days
ago, and Dundee. Glencoe and Glands
laagte have all been given. At the
Cape, among the many curiosities are
Talana Elanda Smith, Belmontina
Grasspana Modderivvo Brown and
Penn Symons White Robinson. A
Boer named Troskie, residing in the
Craddock district in Cape Colony, had
his son baptized Emmanuel Kruger
Steyn Triomphus. The mania appears
to have taken South Wales in a very
acute form. A few days ago Modder
River Jones. John Redvers Butler
Thomas. Harry White Redvers Joseph,
Harold Baden Mafeking Powell, and

to helpless infants by patriotic parents
in Meath. At Pontypridd there arc

to have been blessed with sufficient

High on the tip-top twig of tree,
Something blue by the breezes stirred,

That Is naught but the Indigo bird.

And naught between but the breezes high,
And naught SO blue by the breezes stirred

As 1t was in the full-voiced April days.
