To be successful at anything IA man
or woman must throw their whole
soul into their work. The man who
cannot throw his whole self unreserv-
eddy into his work lacks just so much
of meeting the conditions of success.
Too many work with only half OF
their powers, and they. of course, pro-
Cuce but few results. The half heart
cd man never does anything that is
worth doing.

Now that the warm weather has
actually "set in" we may look fol-
horrible accidents from gasoline.
Each additional death due to the ex.

how people cling to dangerous habits.
Gasoline is not fit for fuel and it is
inferior TO coal, gas or kerosene for
cooking purposes 1t is little, if any,
cheaper than either of the three and
it is constant men ace to the safety
of those who use il. That it contin-
ues to be used is discouraging evil
dence of human folly.

her, though reluctantly and looking disconnected
"You cannot possibly do any good now she
said when he found himself detected, you may
be he would lose time in making himself
acquainted with the other letter But tell me, to
whom the one he gave you Addressed"
Il did not look his reply, but it will be
the registration receipt
He handed her the slip of paper, and Edith,
reading the name breathed sigh of relief. The
letter to old and trusted school friend
whom she was inviting to come and stay with her.
Not for worlds would she have had its contents
betrayed. 1t contained confession of crime,
clue to the mysteries that ag1tatlng Arnc1te,
but in it George Lester mentioned, and she
had described him darling!
In her relief at this escape she almost ready
to forgive Brading- The other letter doesn't

ing in it that l mind anybody knowing | may

boldness in the next instant !:
but win or lose, the die was
cast now.
Edith drew away hastily. "Ohl"
she gasped, indignant at the mon
strous unfairness Of turning her
own perfectly innocent remark
into a weapon of attack against
her. 1t looked almost as though
she had invited his proposal, and
so she endeavored to crush him
with icy a1oofness and a severe
gaze before he could make any
further advance only she could
feel herself blushing hotly, and
when that severe gaze of hers was
met by his steadfast glance, her
eyes had to drop and turn away.
She strove to frame some flippant
reply, and thus turn the whole
thing into badinage, but a stolen
glance at Testers face had so
demorahzing an effect that she
only said OH" again.
Lester had taken the plunge,
and he meant to go on. am
not going to say anything about
the disparity of our positions,
he said, because, if you think
me the sort of man to be influenced
by your wealth, it would be ut
terly hopeless for me to address
you at all. But you know that it
is only yourself L want. l love
you, and-and-
The timidity of the uncertain
lover asserted itself, and he began
to hesitate-and hesitating, might
have been lost, for as his confidence
waned Edith gathered courage
proportionately.
Il love YOU" he repeated with
curious iteration for a man wont

of wire cage that fitted into
the slot and was practically
invisible. Directly you were out
of sight he pretended to post
letter of his own and took the
opportunity of securing yours.
Edith crimsoned with resent
ment and sprang to her feet
That her correspondence should
be at the mercy of such a man
outraged every womanly instinct
Now Lester saw a new phase
of her character. She was royalty
enraged; and the slenderness of
the erect figure and the tininess
of the clenched hands detracted
nothing from her dignity
But this is infamousl" she ex-
claimed passionately, "infamousi "
Infamous, indeedi but pray do
not be in the least concerned about
it. OF course, l compelled him
to hand me the letter at once,
and | have taken the liberty of
registering 1t, IN case he might
tamper with the letter-box again. "
But did you get only one of
my letters, DR.. Lesterf" asked
Edith, with puzzled air. Il
posted two, and"
Lester flushed darkly with NOR
tifcation and anger. Good Heav-
ensi" he cried, Idiot that l am!
Wait, Miss Holt. and l will go
back" He turned toward the
village, intent to reach Brading
at breakneck speed.
'Stopi" cried Edith. "Oh, Dr.
Lester, please come backi'
So Lester perforce returned to

suggestion that Edith was in correspon- -
dence with some unknown caused ~
Lester Scrupulous1y to avoid reading the
address But he had been bound to glance at it in
order to identify Editf1's writing when Brading
handed it to him, and that fleetng glance had
shown him that the letterwas addressed to Miss
somebody or other. He was not altogether sorry.
This business concluded he pushed forward
at swinging pace. Short cuts to the Hall
familiar enough to him now and there was
little chance that he would miss Edith. AS it
was he came upon her sooner than he expected,
for she had sat down rustic railing that
protected a young tree, and musing over the
tangled growth of mystery that had surrounded
her become oblvious to the passing of the minutes
And so he found her. her hands claspng her knees,
and whole tragedy of detection in the melancholy
droop of her head. She looked up at the sound of
his footsteps and greeted him with smile of in
finite sweetness.
Il grown indolent, you see, said she, with
a brave attempt at cheerfulness.
Il am very glad you are was the reply, for had
