The next morning Jack received by
special messenger note from Edith
asking him if he would like to escort
her aunt and herself to lecture to be
delivered that evening in one of the
large churches.
IF you think it will bore you, don't
come she wrote, and added in a
postscript that the lecturer, an emf
nent scholar, had been asked to take
supper with them after the lecture.
Of course Jack decided to run the
risk of being bored. and appeared
promptly at the hour Edith had named
in her note. The subject of the lee
ture was "Nationalism and Home
Rule in Greece in the Fourth Century
B. c."
Jack endeavored to listen and I'M
derstand it, but became hopelessly be-
logged within ten minutes.
Charles Everley was one of the
guests at the supper, and carried all
before him. Never had he shown to
greater advantage. Everything he said

one-eXcept Jack-in a good humor.
He was listened to with attention by
all; his ideas were lucid and he eX.
pressed himself to the point.
Poor Jack sat silent throughout the
meal, and told himself that he had a
thorough contempt for man who
monopolized the conversation. Ever
ley, confound him, gave no one else
chance to get in word.
Il fear you have spent anything but
a pleasant evening" Edith said, as
her lover, who fingered until all the
other guests had gone, was pulling
on his new spring overcoat in the
wide hall.
ooh, no; it was delightful, perfectly
delightful" answered Jack with
heavy sarcasm. "Everley surpassed
my widest expectations. | wonder he

Good night" said Edith, codly,
and assembled the stairs to the sec
ond floor without giving even glance
backward.
I'm always putting my foot into
it somehow" thought poor Jack, as he
went out into the sweet spring night,
When he arrived at his office the
next morning he received painful
surprise in the shape of note from
Edith asking to be released from her
engagement to him.
DO not blame yourself in the least,
dear Jack" she wrote. You have
been all that is good, generous and
devoted But | am convinced that
should we marry we would both be
wretched. Our engagement was a
mistake, and the sooner mistake is
repaired the better, always
