with bitterness. Would you believe

dishonor?"

dame de WARMER.

She walked to the room with firm
step, passing me where stood.
BE brave" whispered. BE on
your guard. Refuse to believe that
your brother is guilty, no matter what
specious proofs this woman may show
you. It is simply impossible that he
be guilty."

were very wistful.

Blamed with Evil Eve.

Sig. Giovanni Giolitti, the Italian
prime minister, suffers from a popular
superstition that he has the evil eye.
Recently Sig. Majorana, minister of
the treasury, retired from the cabinet
because he had been seized with a
serious Illness. He is the sixteenth
statesman associated with Sig. Giolitti
to have been stricken down, if not by
death, at least by some serious all
ment, since the premier's rise to
power. In Giolitti's first cabinet four
OF his ministers died in office. In his
second two died and four others were
brought near to deaths door. In his
third administration one minister com
mitted suicide, another died, and Sig.
Tittsai was Frustrated by cerebral
congestion. In the present cabinet
disease and death still pursue Giolit-
It's colleagues.

"Ah, you are afraid" she cried,
standing at the door of the oratory
with extended arms. you dare not
face the truth. Listen. madam: the
proofs of your brothers guilt are not
imaginary. They exist In his own
writing. Not one signature which may
be forged; there are whole pages. You
listen now; you will tremble before /

one who has seen these proofs except
myself. But dare to doubt me. to

Russia would give me any sum chose
to ask for those papers. Do you hate
me so much, and scorn me so bitterly,
that you prefer to see your brother S
name held up as byword for Eu-
ropes contempt? You disdaln to think
it possible that my charge be true.
Then what have you to fear? There
is no one who can more surely identify
your brothers writing than yourself.
Which will you choose? 1t is for you
to say. Will you consent to see these
papers now, or am to sell them to
the embassies of Russia or Austrian"
The two women measured each
other in long silence I watched the
duel from the open window where I
stood. Madame de Warmers threat
was terrible one. 1t was the fierce
pleading of desperate and unscrupu-
lous adventures striving frantically to
move the lofty trust of sister in a
brothers rectitude and honor. I had
faith in the courage and nobility of
soul of Helena. believed that she
would face shame and unhappiness
with calm resolution. But could not
wonder that Madame de WARMERS
menace made her hesitate.
The slow seconds passed, and still
they faced each other in silence. That
long silence seemed to me ominous I
suffered with Helena in the anguish of
her decision.
To yield would be to doubt. But if
she refused to yield, to doubt. And if
this woman spoke the truth, and made
good her threat For herself she

to prevent that" suggested Madame

Helena turned on her with horror.
1T is incredible that you should

ITO me the love Of man like Sir
Mortimer Brett would have been a
glory. not a Disgrace. returned the

desperately at length.
He has not the courage to tell the
truth" cried Madame de WARMER,
walking slowly toward Helena, who
shrank back. Your brother. is known
TO be guilty of taking bribes."
You are right not to believe that,
Mr.. Haddon." she said scornfully, and
sighed her relief.
There are proofs to convince the
most skeptical. even you." insisted her
tormentor with savage emphasis.
Whatyou say is impossible. Where
is my brother, Mr. Haddon?"
pointed silently to the oratory.
Helena turned to go thither. but

Madame de WARMER glided across
the bare room and struck the heavy
door of the little chamber she had
already pointed out to me as contain
ing the safe. To my surprise the door
had not been locked. 1t opened pom
derously, and / saw the CLEAN of the

beckoned to Helena.
Come, madam, or are you afraid to

Mr. Haddon has seen copies Of the

You have told me that your life has
been one of suffering; then have
mercy for this girl who is suffering.
You will not torture her further. You
will leave to her the only comfort that
remains for her, the proud memory of
a brother who served his country with
honor"
1T is for you to do that, monsieur"
She spoke with assumed Indifference,
lingering the cross that hung from
her neck.
"Mr. Haddon," said Helena proudly,
you will make no appeal to Madame
de WARMER to spare me from suffering.
Where is my brother? 1 suppose that
there is no one here who will deny me
my right to see him?''
The two women faced each other.
Death is sometimes not the worst
calamity that may befall one, madam"
At these ominous words Helena
turned to me with a gesture of pain.
Her courage faltered, though she
fought for her control before the wom-
an whom she hated so bitterly.
Death is not the worst calamity ?"
She repeated the words slowly, as if
seeking their hidden meaning. "Ah,
this Infamous woman, who dragged
down my brother to disgrace when he
lived, will not spare even his memory
She threatens to make his shame even
more public than it is"

Fraternities and sororities.

Fraternities and Sororities.
1t is only within comparatively re-
cent years that the opposition to col
iege. and especially to high school.
frateFnities, sororities and secret So
cieties has manifested any strength or
conference; but now it has reached a
stage where it is almost national in
Its extent. During legislative sessions
OF the past winter at least half a
dozen states passed laws prohibiting
such organizations in public schools,
and in several other states there have
been court decisions unfolding the
right of school committees to regulate
them, by excluding the members from
school and class honors and from
school athletics The charges against
the fraternities and sororities are old
enough to be well established, says
Youths Companion. Snobbishness,
tnattention to school work, extrava-
gance, and the fostering of a spirit
which gives allegiance to a clique
rather than to school or class, are
among them; and there are signs that
in the minds Of men who have care
fully studied the matter not merely
the societies in the schools, but those
in the colleges, are in disfavor. The
feeling does not extend to all the col
leges. by any means, for conditions
vary greatly. Some societies are al
most if not wholly free from the
charges which lie against others, and
have grown to fill a useful and whole
some place. But for secret societies
In high schools it is hardly possible to
find any good excuse. 1t Is curious,
since school committees find so much
difficulty in suppressing these socie-
ties, That parents have exerted so lit
tie influence in opposition to them.
The root of the matter hes in the
home. not in the school committee
room; and when the fathers and moth
ers take the interest in the matter
which they should take, appeals to
state courts will not be necessary.
