"Yo,. will always love me, Dick

'T,ll my death, Flossie."
The unpleasant memory of those
words came to Richard Iilby. as he
sat on the cliffs a mile away from the
little village of Scarborough, painting,
or arther attempting to paint. What a
fool he q been. He had firted dls-
gracefully with the inkecper's daughter,
Flossie, who had seemingly taken All
his attentions IN earnest, perfectly uA-
aware that there was another young
woman up Ia London to whom ne WIS
Engaged. Last evening they had walk
ed out together as usual, vending thelf
way along the shore and there the
declaration of o recorded above, had
been made. How on earth vas he to
get out OF his imbroglio?
After a few minutes itl!by foppe
palette and brushes. Ambitious as he
was to be famous, he really could no
paint this morning. He slipped off his
camp stool. and throwing himself fun
length ON the grass gazed up reflective
" into the Sky. Wllat y nuisance this
artistic temperament was. He was
formally betrothed TO Freda Withers
at Forest iiill, and had no desire to
end the betrothal and Yet down here

Barnett, Who bad attracted HIM the

to have had that conversation With
the coastguard! The means Of relief
from all his troubles was at hand.
That night an unusual thing occur
red at the Scarborough Inn. Unseen
by any one, a man stole out at mid
night. holding some lark objects I'M

the edge OF the cliffs. Not Il soul was

waves broke the stiffness. Hour after

 The street boy of Paris has, deep down in his heart, a sentiment of honor. It slumbers heavily enough, so that only great emotions can rouse 1t. but it Is nev- ertheless there. We have an admirable example of it in an incident that oc- cured during the siege of Paris, when the Parisians were being shot down like game by the enemy. Among the victims who were about to present themselves one day as a living wall against thls piercing shower of shot there was boy who darted out from the ranks of the condemned and dared to speak to his ex- ecutioners.
