few minutes later Hugh Graham, bearing burden
of desoation, dropping down the slope, and from
the ridge Mary Gaskell watched him until he waved
farewell at the mouth of the Gap.
Her eyes were still upon the track when Brisco, her
fathers friend and her own emerged from the pass
and turned away toward his home. But Brsco though
a man of quality, had never been given to knight
errantry and Mary his advent that precise moment
was an empty fact one barren of significance

ONG before the time of gray hairs Brisco, of Gar

strong hand and the helping word and in all the country
of the lakes there to whom men turned so
readily in the hour of trouble 1t he who saved the
people of Howpen Croft from when the minister's
hayward came home; he who played the comforter
when the shadow fell upon the doctors home he who
in divers gave help to those who trusted him
do the right thing in the right but never, until
the refusal of Henry Gaskel had he had aught to do
with the worries of lovers who found the path crooked
and the lights turned down.
Nearing the summit of the pass that day of
rejection the master of Garrowghy face to face
with Hugh Graham and slackened the pace of his long
ment, however, when Hugh declined the advance and
went by with only curt, unfriendly nod Now there
are some who would have taken this affront
directed straight against themselves but Brsco had
acquired the knack of seeing all round difficulty and
was thereby saved from much laundering, to say
nothing of aches and heart bruises
"That wasn't meant for me-" he declared. "Theres
trouble somewhere . Hugh Graham's been getting
hurt . He's come right from Whnscarth; per-
haps it's Mary who's not been over kind to him.

sadly shook his head
"Its time they made peace" he murmured Lovers
quarrels should be like April showers-soon over, or

there isn't sensible girl in the dale than Mary,
and as for Hugh Graham, he's been brought up in
school where there's mighty little foolishness taught
They'll be making it before long, I'm thinking-and
hoping too.
Being a man of discretion, Brsco never assumed the
role of peacemaker until assured that his help would
be welcomed. and in this of cross-currents he
felt certain that interference would be disastrous

There lots of selfish persons who say:
well, what's the use of getting insured?
After I'm dead the money derived cannot be
me why | should expend any of these hard
earned dollars for the sake of leaving bone
of contention to be fought over by my rea-
tives"
Partly for the man who is likely to make
that statement and partly for the individual
who would provide himself against the iniirmi-
ties of old age great insurance companies
have devised policies whereby the party in
sured may come into his endowment when 1t
is most needed.
The endowment policy is the one which is
perhaps more popular among young of the
age than any which has yet been put upon the
market. This allows the payment of yearly
premium into the company's Golfers and at the
end of 10, 20, 80, 40 80 years the entire
amount for which the policy holder in
sured is turned over to him her. The rate
of insurance varies with the length of time.
The longer the period between the payment OF
the first premium and the final endowment the
less the rate other things being equal.
just recently insurance companies intro
duced another sort of proposition which is
just the reverse of that of nsuring ones life.

New York department store which, seeing a
boom in this article, "scooped" its contempor-
aries by securing an early supply.
The merchants who secured the goods felt
rather skeptical themselves as to whether the
latest Partisan costume would hold the Gotham
women's attention. AS a consequence a New
York broker instructed to secure an in
surance policy upon the sale of the gowns
in fact, to insure the popularity of the
tune in America.
To the surprise of the broker, merchants and
New Workers, the proposition turned down
fiat. Applications to other companies who
were wont to bet upon almost anything which
seemed good risk also proved in vain and
the New York merchant went to work by in
sorting advertisements in the newspapers,
through which method he hoped to overcome
the refusal of insurance.
This was the first instance of its kind ever
recorded. experts declare, in which Lloyds
have turned down the proposition of issuing a
policy. 1t probably was caused by the airy
persifage hurled by the male Americans who
gave the sheath gown the loud "hawhaw"
when it appeared.
No business in the history of the world has
spread out the insurance game has 1t en-
compasses everything. One insurance man.
who rates himself quite wag, asked another
whether Lloyds would insure an iceberg from
melting.
why, yes the latter answered, eff you'd
tow it down to Picadilly lane, where it could
be watched by Lloyds."
However, the sort of insurance about which
the average American knows most is life in
surance and this industry alone has reached
such a stage of development that there is lit
tie unexplored territory for it to enter There
life insurance agents everywhere Statistics
say that for every hundred of the big
cities there is and sometimes two life in
surance agents. So the reader easily dis
Germ that there is plenty of opportunity to pro-
vide his or her family with financial protection

There Is just one exception in the ISL Vi
things insurable. That is the directoire gown
But there are SO many insurable innings
that the French creation is hardly missed
Here's few of the things on whose destruc
ton safety you may wager, at long odds
with Insurance companies:
Lives. homes, births, deaths, marriage 40
nestle animals livestock, barns. crops, circuses
the success of business, vessels, any sort OF

etc, ETC.
could keep up that string of things in
surable all day long. for in Lloyds' great insur-
ance directory in England there are dozens
of gigantic ledgers which list the articles and
human beings upon which that company and
other concerns are wont to bet in relation to
their destruction or safety.
And out of these insurance propositions grow
dozen side lines to each plan For instance
taking crops as example: You can insure
your wheat, corn, oats, barley, fax, beet sugar.
butter, eggs or cheese against destruction by
fire. by cyclones, by excessive heat. excessive
cold BY robbers or by accident The same
with your life. You may provide yourself with
insurance against injury trains; If you are
a sailor against drowning; if you are rail
road fireman. against wrecks; If miner,
against being entombed, and SO forth, until the
entipe list has been exhausted.
But the sheath-directore gown won't insure.
The why and wherefore OF this is because
insurance cliques believe that this article OF
wear is destined to become decidedly unpop-
ular In the United States. In Paris this might
be given consideration but in America the
