BILE to your affection I have made up
my mind to forego for your sake one
of the dearest wishes of my heart.
"Father"-he hesitated before he spoke
the word, but spoke it firmly at last

like Miss Page for a daughter?"
Like my housekeeper's niece to take
the place in this house once occupied
by Marietta Sutherland? Frederick,
have always thought too we'll of YOU
to believe you would carry your forget.
fulness of me so far as that, even when
saw that you were Influenced by her
attractions"
You did not do justice to my selfish
ness, father I did mean to marry her,
but 1 have given up living solely for
myself, and she could never help me to
live for others. Father, Amabel Page
must not remain in this house to cause
division between you and me.''
81 have already intimated to her the
advisability of her quitting a home
where she Is no longer respected" the
old gentleman declared. "She leaves on
the 1915 train Her conduct this morn
ing at the house of Mrs. Webb-who,
perhaps, you do not know was most
cruelty and foully murdered last night
was such as to cause comment and.
make her an undesirable adjunct to
any gentleman's family"
Frederick paled. Something In these
words had caused him a great shock.
Mr.. Sutherland was fond enough to be-
lieve that 1t was the news of this ex-
traordinary woman's death. But his
sons words. as soon as he could find
any, showed that his mind was running
on Amabel, whom he perhaps had
found it difficult to connect even In the
remotest way with crime.
@She at this place of death? How
could that be? Who would take
young girl there?"
The father, experiencing perhaps
more compassion for this soon to be
disillusionized lover than he thought it
incumbent upon him to show, answer
ed shortly, but without any compro-
mise of the unhappy truth:
"She went. She was not taken. No
one. MOI even myself, could keep her
back after she had heard that a murder
had been committed In the town. She
even intruded into the house and when
ordered out Of the room of death took
up her stand In the yard In front,
where she remained until she had the
opportunity of pointing out to us a
stain of blood on the grass which might
| otherwise have escaped our attention"
"Impossibe!" Fredericks eye was
staring He looked like a man struck
dumb by surprise or fear. "Amabel

young lady got to do with a flower

from your buttonhole. Put it into an
envelope and keep 1t. and If you don't
hear from me again in regard to it

ever chums when little shavers."
The man called Abel smiled, took
out the flower and went to cover up
the grass as DR.. Talbot had requested.
The stranger took his place at the gate
toward which the coroner and Mr..
Sutherland were now advancing with
an air which showed his great anxiety
to speak with them. He was that one
of the five musicians whom we saw
secretly entering the last mentioned
gentleman's house after the departure
of the last servant.
As the coroner paused before him
he spoke "Dr. Talbot" said he, drop

Her Husband Neglects Her.

Dear Margery Doom:
1 have been reading your column in
THE EVENING STAR for weeks to
see If / would find an answer to my
thoughts. l have been married long
while-eighteen years-and my husband
has always been satisfied with me and
his home until lately. He has met
others, who have so changed him
that nothing I do seems to please him.
and he has become SO careless he is
only home two or three evenings in a
month, even staying away all night,
and always away from home Sundays.
At times he is so unkind as to say ter
rible things to me. | have no family,
but love my home as no other woman
would and have a husband do as mine
does. The other woman has husband
and a family, and seems to nave such
hold on my husband he can't stay
away from her. AS we are both nearing
on 40 years, what would you advise me
to do? l am almost heart-broken, for
still love my husband, and no one could
love a home more than l. My husband
pays the rent and what little l use in
the house. Will you kindly tell me the
best thing to do to get him to be as he
was and to spend his time home with
me, his lawful wife? I do not let my
neighbors or anyone else know my
trouble, because | don't think that
would be right or kind I try to smile
and greet everyone as If nothing was
the matter. Kindly let me know what
is the best thing to do, and I will be
the most thankful wife living.

MIR. SUTHERLAND returned
Nl home. AS he entered the broad
hall he met his son Frederick
There was a look on the young mans
face such as he had not seen there in
years
Father" faltered the youth, may
have few words with you?"
The father nodded kindly, though it
is likely he would have much preferred
his breakfast, and the young man
led him into a little sitting-room lit
tered with the faded garlands and other
tokens of the preceding nights festivi-
ties.
II have an apology to make" Fred
erick began, "or rather l have your
forgiveness to ask. For years" he
went on. stumbling over his words.
though he gave no evidence of a wish
to restrain them. "for years I have
gone contrariwise to your wishes and
caused my mothers heart to ache and
you to wish l had never been born to
be curse to you and her"
He had emphasized the word mother
and spoke altogether with force and
deep intensity. Mr.. Sutherland stood
petrifed. He had long ago given up
this lad as lost.
II wish to change. / wish to be as
great pride to you as l have been a
shame and dishonor. / may not sue
ceed at once but / am in earnest, and
If you will give me your hand"
The old mans arms were around the
young mans shoulders at once.

murmured the youth, very pale and
strangely discomposed. with no ex-
cuse for my past, / suffer intolerable
apprehension in regard to my future

my self-control not hold out. But the
knowledge that you are acquainted
with my resolve and regard II

suffice to sustain me, and l should GER
tainly be a base potroon If / should
disappoint you or her twice"
He paused, drew himself from his
fathers arms and glanced almost SOL
emnly out of the window. IT swear that

alive and watching me-"
There was strange intensity in his
with amazement. He had seen him in
every mood natural to a reckless man,
but never in so serious a one, never
with a look of awe or purpose in his
face 1t gave him quite a new idea of
Frederick.
yes" the young man went on, rails
ing his right hand, but not removing
his eyes from the distant prospect on
which they were fixed: II swear that
I will henceforth do nothing to dis
credit her memory. Outwardly and in
wardy l will act as though her eye was
still upon me and she could again suf-
fer grief at my failure or thrill at my
success"
A portrait of Mrs. Sutherland painted
when Frederick was lad of 10 hung
within a few feet of him as he spoke.
He did not glance at 1t, but Mr. Suth
erland did and with a look as II he ex
pected to behold a responsive light
beam from those -athetic features.
"She loved you very dearly" was the
slow and earnest comment. I'VE have
both loved you much more deeply than
you have ever seemed to realize. Fred

man, turning with an expression of
calm resolve to meet his fathers eyes.

Care of the Complexion.

All the cosmetics and lotions ever IN
vented will not do as much for the
skin as the daily bath. Therefore one
of the first duties that we owe our
selves is to keep the skin absolutely
clean. The cells of which it is COM
posed are continually being pushed to
the surface by fresh ones which lie
lower down. AS these fresh ones are
formed, the older ones, when they have
reached the top, die away and lie in
scales on the surface, and 1t is these
scales, with the deposit from the oil
and sweat glands, together with dirt,
which as the day goes on is constantly
collecting in small particles that form
a layer of material, which. If not
washed away, prevents the skin from
performing it's work of secretion prop
erly; as a consequence 1t breaks out In
eruptions and blackheads form. It Is
not necessary that a warm bath should
be taken every day, but certainly three
times a week, while cold sponge
should be taken every morning.
It is the duty of every woman to
study her appearance carefully, to wear
the sort of gowns that are most be-
coming and to dress her hair so as to
bring out the best points of her face.
We all owe something to our friends
as well as ourselves, and however hlgh
our aims and ambitions in life may be
in other directions, nothing can excuse
carelessness in matters of personal ap-
pearance.
We should therefore as a duty avail
ourselves of all legitimate means OF en-
hancing our charms, correcting ma
ture's shortcomings, remedying or hid
ing disfigurements and generally rem
dering ourselves as pleasant to look at
as possible.
Some people seem to have an idea
that the use of face powder is a most
reprehensible habit; indeed, have met
people who consider It almost criminal

OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER
A GOOD GAME.

YF this game is playeyd out OF doors
a large bowl or basket full of small
pebbles will do; indoors bowl OF
small white beans or peanuts Will do
This bowl is placed at an equal distance
from the equally divided party. There
is a captain on each side. He or she
says: 1.-THE king is he who gets the
most. One, two, three!" At this the
opposite captains run to the bowl, grasp
as many pebbles or beans as he can In
one hand and dashes back to his place.
Then the next two in line become cap
tains and do the same. After all have
tried a count is taken, and those who
have the most all go upon one side.
There may be fewer on that side, but
they ought to be the best equipped.
though they may not be at the second
try At this bout the strength OF the
two parties is decided.

A Pretty Ornament.

Take a small basin and cover the
outside with a double thickness of
coarse flannel, and, having soaked 1t In
water, invert 1t on a saucer or plate
containing water. so that 1t may be
kept damp. On the flannel sprinkle as
much flax seed as will adhere to 1t, and
stand the whole in dark place till the
seeds have terminated. Then bring 1t
to the light, and If you replenish the
water as It evaporates you will. in
about three weeks, have charming
mass of verdure concealing the flannel.
and your little patch of flax will give
you as much pleasure as many far
more ambitious table ornaments. and
will have cost you almost nothing. In
stead of FLAX, you may use clover and
grass seed, If you prefer 1t.
