Who knows the whole story about advertising7 Any one who thinks he does is likely to be one of those who know the least. Advertising Is an art. and some of those who have studied 1t must feel that they are simply in the Kindergarten class.
 To be sure, there are experts" and some of them know the science of pur- chasing publicity and preparing copy very we'll. They know that 1t Is fool ish to advertise an article unless the distribution and other auxiliary work Is properly done. They know that 1t is foolish to crowd their copy and they know the value of "the true ring" but where is the expert who Knows 1t all?' The importance of this whole quesaiori of publicity to the customer IS growing on the mahufacturer. He sees his com pefitor or some man in anoth CT line turning the trick of publicity and he sits up and thinks. He IS gradually realizing that localized. crystalized publicity in the home is what pays best and that he can only get that through the daily newspaper Many manufacturers secure local daily news paper advertising through or By CO., operation with their local agents or re- taliers in different cities and towns, but campaigns of that sort are neces. sariiy spasmodic or uneven. The man Iifacturer who has the courage to map ont his own campaign and goes ahead. is the one who wins out. He buys the publicity wisely and he realizes on it..

 Leonard cafne towards NorIiianstafd next forenoon in considerable mental disturbance.
 Leonardss love was all of the flesh; and as such had power at present to disturb hfFn, ae 1t would later have power to torture him. Again, he was disturbed by the fear of losing stephen, or rather of not being able to gain her. At first, ever since she had left him on the path from the hilltop til his interview the next day. he had looked on her possession as an option" to the acceptance of which circumstances seemed to be compelling him. But ever since then, that asset seemed to have been dwindling; and now he was almost beginning to despair. Tn addition, there was another eatsse Of concern. Since his fathers attitude had almost obliterated his chances of obtaining credit without ultimate loss of his fra- hefitance. the future of his pleasure was unassured. He was essentially a voiuptuary. A marriage with stephen weuId secure to him a full share of all the worlds goods and pleasures: and the benefit of such a marriage was, he felt, clipping away from him. He was ly strung with apprehension. as he was shown into the blue drawing-room, and left to wait the coming of Miss Nor man. for whom he had asked
 stephen came in alone, closfns, the door behind her. She shook hands with him, and sat down by a writing table near the window, pointing to him to sit on e ottoman a little distance away. The moment he sat down he realized that he was at a strategic dis advantage; he was not close to her. and he could not get closer without manifestihg his intention of so doing. He must either pull over the heavy ottoman, or rise up and get a chair. He wanted to be closer both for the purpose of his suit and for his own pleasure; the proximity of stephen be- gan to multiply his love for her He thought that today she looked better than ever, of a warm radiant beauty which touched his senses with unattain- able desire. She could not but notice the passion Tn his eyes. and distinctive Iy her eyes wandered to Q silver gong placed on the table well within reach of her hand. The more he glowed, the more jelly calm she sat. till the silence between them began to grow oppres- sive. She waited, determined that he should be the first to speak. He had sought her; had forced her Into the position of receiving him. Now she would not help him by hairs breadth. Recognizing in the course Of time the helplessness of his silence, he began to

 Before her uplifted hand, with the
 palm turned outward and the fingers

 stopped for an Instant as one in mid career stricken into stone In that ih- staht she knew that she was safe; and with e wof1an's quickness of apprehen- sion and resolve. made up her mind

 voice she sald quietly:

 the reserve of a gentleman towards a
 lady whom he respects,"
 As usual the baser nature was domi- mated by the nobler. Leonard knew in stinctively from that moment that if
 he wished to succeed he would have to lay aside the whip. And he did wish to succeed With every moment, and especially with every moment of denial, his desire towards stephen grew more and more. He was on the road to something like the intoxication of sex stephen instinctiveIy recognized the new trouble. But she knew that denial in the present state Of things not nearly as good 6 weapon of de- fence as hope.
