A gentleman who was travelling in
Ireland sat down one day in a cottage
to talk with an old woman. AS they
were having their dish of discourse
there came clap Of thunder, and the
old woman at once spread out her
hands in supplicatiOn, crying:
"God bless and save us. And save
his honor and save the people and all
of usv'
For the space of half an hour the
thunder was frequent, and each time
she prayed Then she told the visitor
this story, which has a good moral in
it's defining Of the proper spirit which
should belong to prayer:
There was a man, and he was work
ing in a field like, and it came on to
thunder, and he put his head in hole
in the wall, and he said:
"'God save what's out O mev
But he ought to have prayed for the
whole of him, for he no sooner said
that than the wall fell and took his
head off.
at was teIled to me that his was a
judgment on the crathur because it is
not right to pray small, just for your
silf. But you should pray large-to
save us all-pray big and open hearted.
But that may be only a story, sir"

They had been engaged for a week
Felicia's heart was full of the swee'
wonder Of it, yet her mind chung tena
ciOusly to theory imbibed in the un
recorded days that went before. L
seemed terrible theory now; but, be
wildered though she was, she acknowl
edged its claim.

symbol of his own happiness. whats
that you're saying?
"An engagement" she repeated grave
ly, should be taken as an experiment
trial. At the first suspicion on the
part Of either person that he or she has
made a mistake it should be broken"
An unconscious sigh expressed the re
lief she felt at getting this sentiment
off her mind. Another moment and he
was leaning toward her, with her hands
clasped firmly, almost roughly, in his
his voice sterner than she had ever
heard it.
''See here, little grip
At something that he saw in her face
he stopped, and his glance softened.

relief. Its only theory. But you

eyes and smile nullifed all attempts at
criticism
Jack, too, seemed impressed by the
unusual character of the newcomers
charm. In repose her face was almost
ugly. Then she would turn those Won
derful. coercing eyes upon you and
smile, and forever after you watched
and waited.
Even in that first hour Felicia trem-
bled for her supremacy. Covertly she
noticed that Jack was as irresistibly at
tracted as she herself was. For ten
whole minutes he had not once looked
in her own direction.
"She has a lovely smile" the latter
observed craftily as her lover walked
home with her.
Heavenly" was his unsuspecting
answer. And her eyes! BY Jove,
never saw such eyes! 1t isn't that
they're SO beautiful, but it's what they
say. When she looks at you you feel
as if you're it,
Felicia, walking behind him in the
narrow path, felt suddenly bereft. She
didn't have eyes that made you feel
that you were it. She didn't have a
smile that even Jack grew enthusiastic
over. She was just pretty.
$50 UNUSUAL She draws you in spite
Of yourself. simply can't keep my
eyes off her. She's fascinating"
On he went in the same strain, too
absorbed expressing his interest and
admiration to his other self to notice
the forlorn brevity of her replies.
mot to come over this EVENING"" he
repeated in surprise when, at the door,
she told him her wishes. You must be
crazy. OF course I'm coming"
But in spite of his protests she was
obdurate, and he went away in a huff
If Felicia were capricious during the
following week, Miss Dandy was all
that man could wish. In her society
Jacks wounded pride was soothed and
comforted. She made him forget his
worries and appear at his best.
Once, and once only, he had heret-
ical thought. He wished Felicia were
more like her. Then he WINGED at his
own disloyalty. Dear, blue eyed, sunny
Felicia! A wave of tenderness swept
over him, and he determined to find
out without further delay what was
tween them ever since the Danbys
came.
"Well, by Joyer' he exclaimed aloud
light dawning upon him. Then, as
if there were really no use of trying
adequately to express the wonder that
the suspicion caused him, he exclaimed
again helplessly, by Jove!'
"And she is the lady who believes
that an engagement should be the
lightest of ties; that engaged people
should see as much as possible of I'M
engaged ones. oh, my eye!' And he
threw back his head and roared with
delight.
That afternoon they had it out. Fee
licia, with burning cheeks and flashing
eyes, accused him holly.
You've been perfectly daft over her
from the first moment. There's no use
of denying it. You know You have,
and our engagement
She choked, and Jack, who stood
looking down at her, his hand thrust
in the pockets Of his short coat, finish
ed the sentence.
HAS stood the test of the third per-
son." he said in teasing voice. Then
he held out his arms, and after one
startled, questioning glance she went
to him.

Would Take 1t.

He was a theatrical lover. and she
didn't like his style in the least.
He was constant in his devotion
however, and that made matters
worse. she had tried gentle means tc
get rid of him, but he had disregarded
them with painful persistency.
In this moment of her desperation
he felt it incumbent upon him to pro
pose to her, as men under similar cir
cumstances so often do.
Dear one" he exclaimed, hurting
himself tragically at her feet, II love
you. My life is yours. Will you take
itY
She did not look like murdereSs.
"Mr. Singleton she responded, with
calm determination. 'I,will."
He gaZed at her rapturously.
Don't do that!' she begged, drawing
back from him as if in horror. Il have
taken your life. as you requested me
to do, and you are henceforth to al
intents and purposes dead"
He seemed dazed.
Il do not. Mr.. Singleton she contin-
ued, turning aside. desire to have a
dead person in the house. and if you
do not go away at once l shall send
for an undertaken and have you re-
moved to the nearest cemetery"
Then the dreadful situation in which
his own precipitate folly had placed
him was revealed. and he removed
himself with promptness and dispatch
