The lamp flickered "It must need
filing" she said II must hurry or we
will be left in darkness"
Woven in with the 'Serenade" her
voice vibrated on his heartstrings-now
merry, now serious, now so wholly
sweet and tender that it sounded like
the vision of Schubert in the room be-
yond.
"She will be all the world to you,"
she said wistfully. "There will be mol
room for your old friend then. That
ideal home you have dreamed of will
be yours and hers" Her eyes rested
full upon his, and almost in whisper
she added, "It is not far away"
For Il moment he searched her facel
intently, but the lamp was almost out
now Then something that he saw
there gave him courage, and he slipped
swiftly out of his chair and knelt be-
side her, taking daring possession of
her.

mineT he whispered. "Ah, sweet
heart! Don't you know?"
Pale and frightened, she tried to slip
away from him, but he held her fast.
"Oh, no, nor she cried half sobbing
"Please, darling" He tried to draw
her down to him, but she resisted, and
he wisely waited for her to come to
him.

she ventured, friends and all that?
You will find some one else for-the

There's no going on, dear" he said
gently. This is the parting of the
ways. There Is only one woman in the
whole wide world-and the little home?
Why, my life, 1t wouldn't be home
without you. don't you know?"
The roses were scattered on the floor
among their drifted petals, and even in
the shadow she saw his face, tense
with appeal. His arms were drawing
her closer. The lamp flickered and
went out She could feel his heart
throbbing against her. She fancied she
could hear 1t too The "Sererade" was
almost finished now, and, thoroughly
humble in her surrender, yet wholly

The Young WRITER'S In Election.

In fiction the young writer, with
a spontaneous imaginative creation
whose taste relishes the concrete world
Of nature and humanity about hlm-all
the beauty, mlrth and pathos of it
more than the images of the world
conveyed through literary tokens, has
from the first an advantage, in that
he makes upon his readers minds q
wholly native impression. He makes
himself known directly by showing us
the lineaments Of his spiritual face, the
charm Of feature, mood and temper
which makes an impression at our first
reading like that of first seen faces
In our real human contacts. Such
writers are vital personalities In our
literature. They do not need to wait.
They may come to us as children come,
as soon as they can speak, having only
to break with infancy; In their books
they grow up before us, giving us
plain notice Of their adolescence and
maturity.-H. NJ. Alden in Harpers.

A Wonderful Catalogue.

The name of DR.. Richard Garnett,
who died in London the other day,
will ever be associated with the great
work of cataloguing the vast library
Of the British museum. The treasury
agreed to set aside $4,000 year for
the purpose, and the work Of editing
the new catalogue was handed over to
him. BY 1880 the presses were at
work. and ten years later the task was
completed. The catalogue of today
consists of 500 volumes in all and con-
tains nearly 100000 entries, nclud-
ing the cross references Nearly co.
600 fresh entries are added each year.

Every one is familiar with the i'm
perlous conductor who Insists with his
"Step lively, pleaser that you shall
hurry as you get into the car. Most
people resent this peremptory ORDER
and feel bit rufIled as the car starts
forward with the customary jerk. and
they either fall abjectly into Il seat or
clutch with frantic haste the first con
venient strap.
A friend of mine coming from Il
quiet inland city to a busting seaport
town heard the "Step livelyw of the
car conductor with some surprise. For
tunately for herself she took her seat
without losing her balance; then, lift
ing her benlgnant face, framed In the
soft dove colored Quaker bonnet, she
gazed at the brusque young man who
came to take her fare. What Is thy

Rather surprised in his turn, he
meekly replied, giving Christian and
surname.
Friend William Blank" the passen-
ger observed, still looking steadfastly
at him, thee would not have said

The conductor touched his cap, beg
ged her pardon, and when the lady of
ninety left the car he assisted her de-
scent with the gallantry of knight Of
Woman's Home Companion.

LINE OF THE HEART

He had never noticed how round and
white her arms were until the loose
sleeve fell back when she took his
hand. The touch of her cool fingers
thrilled him.

dreamer, and you do not want the
world to find it out It's been rather

"All right little girl he responded
half caressingly. "Go on"
"Your palm is elastic. That shows
hopeful nature and strong one. Your
lines are deep. You will get the full

The piano sounded softly in the next
room. Her sister was playing-half to
herself and half to her father, who sat
nodding in the library.
''The mount of Jupiter is well devel-
oped," she went on. "That means
pride, ambition, desire for power-not
a snobbish pride, you know, but that
which will not let you stoop to base
ness"
He smiled to himself. She was read
ing him very well.

But she paid no heed to the Interrupt

in the opening bars of the "Serenade."
1t sounded like some faroff melody.
"You like money, but not so well as
you do some other things. Books and
pictures and travel and your own way
come first" He colored, and her lips
twitched temptingly.
"This is Mars. You know, there are
two mounts of Mars. This one under
Mercury means passive courage, self
control, resignation and strength of re-
sstance against wrong. The other one
over by your thumb means temper. I'm

an adorable mischievousness that made
him feel queer Tightening around his
heart.

mysticism. If 1t swells here 1t means

You want to put woman on a ped
estal and keep her there"
The bewlldering sweetness Of the
"Serenade" sounded dimly through his
consciousness and mingled with the
breath of the roses-his rOses-on her
breast. .. ....
"You are sympathetic and charitable,
generous to fault. Friendship means
much to you. All, know thatp' she
said to herself. But this line Of
