gently flicker out when he was satisfied
that there was a remote possibility of

time that hung heavily upon her
hands, the woman wrote another book.
The world praised this family.
This is better" it said. 1T shows
sympathy, and has an insight into
human suffering that her first story
lacked. 1t has, moreover, certain
philosophy of life that we find en-

The woman smiled grimly at this
"A woman needs philosophy when she
loses her beauty she whispered to
her heart.
A greater misfortune still befell the
woman. The husband she loved be-
trayed her for the friend she trust
ed, and left her desolate. For many
days the woman lay crushed and
bruised before her broken altars, and
then to save herself from madness she
wrote another story, into which she
poured all the sorrow and the passion
that had torn her own SOUL
Success at Last.
"Ah." cried the world. as it read
it, "here is a glimmer of real talent
at last. This book throbs with the

fearing she knew not what in the fu-
ture Then. because she must work
or starve, she wrote still another
story. -.
The world received it with acclaim.
What growth" it exclaimed, Here
is q story that throbs with life. In it
you hear the laugh of the gay and
light-hearted, the sob of those who
mourn; you see the sweat on the brow
of those who toll, and the tightening
of the muscle of him who girds for the
race. Here is a writer who has known
and felt. and who plays upon us as
upon an instrument made to her
hand"
Finally there came a day when the
woman wrote with her dead child
across her knee in order that it might
not be buried in the potter'S field, and
as the last page fluttered from her
nerveless fingers and fell upon the
floor. Fate stood again before her.
"You have paid the price" said
Fate, "you have learned to write, and
tomorrow you will be famous. You
have written the Great Book that
you desired to write"
Yes" replied the woman, duly.
81 have paid the price, but, tell me, is
it always so high?"
"Yes." replied Fate, "for it is writ
ten that no man or woman may look
into the human heart until his or her
eyes have first been washed clear by
tears. Only those who have laughed
and wept can make others laugh and
weep. This is the inexorable law"

Examiner.)
Once upon time there was wom-
an who was a darling of the gods.
In all her life she had never known
what 1t was to. suffer pain, or to be
hungry, or lonely, or afraid.
In person she was fair and lovely.
She had a devoted husband, beau
tiful children, she was surrounded
by admiring friends, and she lived
in home as exquisite as art and
wealth could make it.
Not satisfied, however, with all of
these blessings, the woman ye< de-
sired one thing more.
She wished to be famouS-to write
a great book that would mirror the
very soul of humanity. it's joy and
gladness, it's passion and agony, its
love and its hate. Nor did this seem
difficult to her.
"It is perfectly clear to me-" said
the woman to herself, that literature
is a profession that should be set
apart for people situated as 1 am,
who have the leisure in which to
prune and polish their style, an ideal
environment of scholastic claim in
which to work, and who have no need
to consider the pecuniary rewards of
what they do. How much better
work we would naturally do than the
unfortunate creatures who live in mis-
erable garrets, and who, in the midst
of poverty, Ill health and want. are
often forced to write for their daily
bread"
Thereupon the woman sat down and
with much care and labor wrote her
great book, but to her surprise the
world would have none of 1t.
''The plot said the world, sis suf-
ficiently original. and the style is
charming. but it has no life in it.
The characters of the story are not
real men and women. They are mar
ionettes worked by string"
A High Price.
This greatly distressed the woman,
and she wept bitterly. but suddenly
looking up through her tears she saw
Fate standing before her.
There is nothing for nothing" said
Fate: II can teach you how to write
so that you will become famous and
your praise will be i'm all mems
mouths. but there is price to pay"
II will pay it," replied the womant
''The price is high" warned Fate.
| will pay it," repeated the wom-
an. and Fate went his way.
Soon thereafter the woman fell des-
perately i'll. For weary days and
weeks and months her body was rack
ed with suffering, and when she was
well again her beauty had gone for
ever. Her eyes had been dmmed,
her hair had lost it's luster. her cheeks
their roses, her face had been scared
with pain, as with red-hot iron, and
che knew that never more would men
look upon her with admiration.

What woman-oh, what a

and resolute she was? Would she not

not pity that she was not on my

From what have seen of the lady

Holmes coldly. II am sorry that l

esty's business to a more successful

ing away without observing the hand
which the King had stretched out to
him, he set off in my company for his
chambers.
And that was how a great scandal
threatened to affect the kingdom of
Bohemia, and how the best plans of
Mr.. Sherlock Holmes were beaten by
a woman's wit. He used to make
merry over the cleverness of women,
but / have not heard him do it of late.
And when he speaks of Irene Adler,
or when he refers to her photograph,
it is always under the honorable title
of the woman.
