a comment on something they had read together:
"The grave will close about us, love,
Some cruel heartless day,
And you (or y alone will stand
At the parting of the way.
And one of to death will go
And of us to life.
Which will it be, my love, my own,
The husband, or the wife?"

early she said softly, "and he was called, not
I, and shall l be less mindful of him than he
was of me?" "I don't know what to say to you,
Margaret" he said honestly, "but Andrew Leslie
did not have the first claim upon you, and l
told him when he first came that you"
"You told him something that not true,
then" she interrupted, passionately. "You never
had any claim upon me then or at any other
time" and her face was drenched by rain of
tears.
"For Heavens sake don't cry, Margaret; will
promise to drop the whole matter If you will only
dry your tears and brighten up little"
That had been two years ago. and John had
recovered from the repuse but this March
evening he felt something almost like hate for
the dead man lying in his grave. God is the
God of the living, not of the dead" he said to
himself bitterly. "Is that you, John?" called
Margaret from the piazza he came wearily
up the steps. You should not be out here in

up quickly. Nonsense" she said "Why should

His Uncle.

Manuel Ugarte, nephew of DR.. Angel
Ugarte, the Honduran minister, who
recently fed from the George Washing

Young Ugartes mother is seriously i'll

Several days ago he left the hospital
where ne was receiving treatment, and
took train for New York, stopping
with friends on his arrival there.
His uncle, fearing for his nephew's
condition, followed him.
DR.. Ugarte persuaded the young man
20 return TO Washington with him
Young Ugarte explained that he would
not have left town, but for the fear
that his uncle would have objected TO
his leaving the hospital
Ugarte IS now AT the Honduran Ieza-
ton in StOneleigh Court and viii re-
main there until he leaves for Honduras.
