He walked quickly back. At the

he took in silence.

She stood by the table, the light
from shaded lamp making her color
glow.
Now she noted that he had not
spoken. She turned quickly to him
as if to question.
He took swift little step toward
her, still without speaking. She
stepped back with sudden instinct of
fright.
He took two quick steps forward and
grasped one of her wrists He spoke
in cool, even tones, but the words came
fast:
''I've come to marry you tonight; to
take you away with me to that west
ern country. You may not like the
life. You may grieve to death for all
l know-but you're going. I won't
plead, l won't beg, but 1 am going to

She had begun to pail away in alarm
when he seized her wrist. His grasp
did not bruise, it did not seem to be
tight; but the hand that held it was
immovable

Misfortunes Take Wing In Presence
 of a Sunny Spirit.

Whatever woman may be in her hours of ease-perhaps uncertain, coy and hard to please-wheneyer the world goes wrong and trouble hangs black above the home, 1t IS she, nine times out of ten, who looks into the face of the future most se- renely, says the Boston Globe.
 Mark Twain, in his autobiog- raphy, pays this tribute to his wife, who died several years ago in Flor ence: "She was always cheerful, and she was always able to commit nicate her cheerfulness to others. During the nine years that we spent in poverty and debt, she was always able to reason me out of my de- spairs and find a bright side to the clouds, and make me see it. In all that time l never knew her to utter a word of regret concerning our al- tered circumstances, nor did l ever know her children to do the like. For she had taught them, and they drew their fortitude from her."
 Too many men get discouraged too easily. They should learn les- son from the women. When busi- ness goes to the bad grin, and the quicker will fortune be retrieved. There is no better medicine for shat tered health than a sunny spirit. The discouraged man is beaten be- fore the battle begins; the cheerful man always has fighting chance.
