 If Hope had been i'll at home l should have felt free to go and sit by her as had done more than once. It seemed little severe to be shut away from her ROW. but Mrs. Fuller's man. ner had foreanswered any appeal. and l held my peace. Having no children of her own. she had assumed a sort of proprietorship over Hope that was evi dent That probably was why the girl had ceased to love me and to write to me as of old. A troop of mysteries came clear to me that morning Through many gifts and favors she had got my sweetheart in a sort of bondage and would make a marriage of her own choosing If possible.
 ''Is there anything you would like particularly for your breakfast?' Mrs Fuller inquired.

T7OPE and Uncle Eb and I went
 HI away in coach with Mrs. lU0Uyl( Fuller. There WAS a great yl556f1 crowd in the church that GOV cred. with sweeping arches. an interior more vast than any had ever entered. Hope was gowned in white silk. n crescent of diamonds in her hair. a birthday gift from Mrs. Fuller.
 First Henry Cooper came on with his violin-a great master as I now re member him. Then Hope ascended to the platform. her dainty kid slippers showing under her gown. and the odi- ous Livingstone escorting her. I was never SO madly in love or so insanely jealous. I must. confess ii. for I am trying to tell the whole truth of my self-I was a fool And it is the great CT folly that one says ever ''1 was and never "I am" in that plea. could even see it myself then and there. but YVES so great a fool I smiled and smoke fairly t. the young man. all though could have wrung his neck with rage. There was little stir and A passing whisper in the crowd as she stood waiting for the prelude. Then she sang the ballad of Aud Robin Grey" not better than had heard her sing it before. but so charmingly there were murmurs of delight going far and wide in the audience when she had finished Then she sang the fine melo- dv of Angels Ever Bright and Fair and an old ballad
 Great baskets of roses were handed 10 her as she came down from the plat form. and my confusion was mulii- piled by their number. for I had moi thought to bring any myself.

 finished my article that night and in the morning took 1t to MT. Greeley. He was at his desk writing and at the same time giving orders in querulous tone to some workman who sat beside him. He did not look up as he spoke. He wrote rapidly, his nose down so close to the struggling, wet lines that I felt fear of it's touching them. I stood by, waiting my opportunity. A full bearded man in his shirt sleeves came hurriedly out of another room.
 Mir. Greeley" he said, halting at the elbow of the great editor.
 "Yes, what is it?'' the editor demand ed nervously, his hand wabbling over the white page as rapidly as before, his eyes upon his work.
 Another man garroted this morning on South street."
 Better write paragraph" he said, his voice snapping with impatience as he brushed the full page aside and be- gan sowing his thoughts on another. "Warn our readers. Tell 'em to wear brass collars with spikes in 'em till we get new mayor"
 The man went away laughing. ATr hi gathered his copy and handed it to the workman who sat beside him.
 Proof ready at 3" he shouted as the man was going out of the room.
 Hello, Browerr' he said, bending to his work again. Thought you'd blown out the gas somewhere!'
 Waiting until you reject this arti. cle," I said.
 He sent boy for MT. Ottarson, the city editor. Meanwhile he had begun to drive his pen across the broad sheets with tremendous energy. Somehow it reminded me of man blowing black furrows behind fast walking team in a snow furry. His mind was ''strad- dle the furrow" when Mr. Ottarson came in There was moment of si- lence, in which the latter stood scan- ming a page of the Herald he had brought with him.
 "Ottarson," said MT Greeley, never stacking the pace of his busy hand as he held my manuscript in the other Tread this. Tell me what you think of it. If good, give him show"
 "The staff is full. Mir. Greeley" said the man of the city desk. His words cut me with disappointment.
 The editor of the Tribune halted his hand an instant, read the last lines. scratching a word and underscoring another.
 Don't care" he shrilled as he went on writing. "Used to slide down hill with his father. If he's got brains we'll pay him $S week." .-
 The city editor beckoned to me, and I followed him into another room.
 "If you will leave your address," he said, T' will let you hear from me when we have read the article"
 With the nasty confidence of youth I began to discount my future that very day. ordering full dress suit of the best tailor. hat and shoes to match and a complement of neckwear that would have done credit to Beau Brum- mel. It gave me start when saw the .hiI swSt1d empty my pocket of more than half it's cash. But I had a stlff pace to follow and every reason to look my best.

But in that subject one loves and learns And one thing have learned Is this-that jealousy throws its illusions on every word and look and act I went to my room and sat down for a bit of reckoning. Hope had ceased to love me, felt sure, and how was to win her back?

 "ln trouble?" he whispered.
 Tn trouble" said.
 "Bout Hope?"
 Its about Hope Don't be nasty. Hope Fl never go back on you," he whispered. "She doesn't love me-" said impul sively. "She doesn't care the snap ot her finger for me-"
 Don't believe it," he answered calmly. Not a single word of it. Thet woman-she's tryin' t keep her away from ye-but 'twon't make no diff fer'nce. Not bit"
 ''I must try to win her back-some way-somehow," I whispered.
 Gin ye the mitten?' he asked. That's about it." I answered, going i possibly too far in the depth of my feeling
 "Whew-w.' he softly whistled "Waal, 1t takes two mittens t make pair. Yell hev t ask her ag'in."
 "Yes. I cannot give her up," I said decisively, T must try to win hel back. It isn't fair. have no claim upon her But I must do it."

 Hope has got too far ahead of me, I said ''She can marry rich man ii she wishes to, and I don't see why she shouldn't. What am I anyhow but a poor devil just out of college and everything to win? It makes me miserable to think here in this grea house how small am.''

The Future of the Labor Problem.
 The present chaotic state of things should be transient. the paralyzing un- certainty that now hangs over many kinds of business should be forever removed and something far better than perpetual strikes and lockouts should determine the pay of labor. says Pro- lessor John B. Clark. fin Harper's Mag azine for April. Not even fin New Zealand and Australia have the pos abilities of arbitration been fully test ed. and there should be a perfecting of that measure in our country. which is in greatest need of it. The strike should become potential rather than ac- tual. a resource to be held in reserve and seldom resorted to. There should be a method of accomplishing all that the strike tries to do without stopping production. With such things accom- plished-with the general wages sys- tenn lifted to higher plane-the need of profit sharing of the old type will. indeed. be somewhat less. but the chance for securing it will he better. and in several different forms we may see 1t extensively in operation. The gains of the great corporation of the future may be shared by its employees. and these gains themselves may no: be tainted with injustice.

WHEN TROUBLE COMES.

Just remember that every cloud has
a silver lining"
Put your shoulder to the wheel and
say: II will be bright, will make
the best of things"
Don't sponge on your friends simply
because they assure you you are per
fectly welcome" to what they have.
If at the end of the day you feel dis
couraged at your lack of progress don't
sit down and lament over it; find out
your mistake and try to do better next
day.
If you wish to achieve any success IN
life, the surest way to do SO is by keep
ing at whatever your appointed task
may be with unfagging interest and
energy.
Don't be overpowered by the dark
side; keep at it until you find the
bright one, for weeping may endure
for a night, but JOY cometh in the
morning"
When most tempted to whine and
rebel at the way things are going just
think of the mother who struggles for
food and shelter for her little ones,
who in the face of the darkest trials
bears up for their sake, and you will
be sure to brighten up through very
shame of daring to do anything else.

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children it ruins child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration. ner-
vous dependency. the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound !;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
