''It Is about Edwna's future" began Tom. "She is twenty-one now. and am worried"
 "Oh, don't worry" exploded tho colonel "l never did in my life. and look at me" And the colonel noted ir the mirror how kindly the scythe bear er really had been to him.
 But she will necessarily be marry Ing" continued Master Tom.
 "Of course" Colonel John Andrew acquiesced softly. while mellow glow came into his good. hale eyes.

 "AIilk and water" snapped the colo mel. "She's too good for a million like him."
 She's too good for any of them" said Tom, but we must see that she gets the best. Now. there's Iandis."
 "Wooden headed as any Indian cigar sign" objected the colonel. He object ed to All rhe other callow ones until Tom in perplexity demanded. What then?'
 What then?" snapped Colonel John Andrew "Why. before our little Ed wina snail tie herself to any of these I'll go downstairs and propose my self. And the colonel went. Tom fol- lowed.
 'is it because I am too old?" the colonel asked Edwina as soon as he saw her, assuming tone of ineffable sorrow.
 Edwina shook her pretty head. "l like people who are old-a little bit old" she declared.
 ''I know I have never accomplished anything" continued the colonel. ''savp to ride a prancing cob or to lead n cotillon as it should be led"

The Art of Lying.

With very few exceptions all asser- tiOns may be divided into two classes lies and untruths. Lies are those ns- sertions which the person making them does not know to be so.
 Lies help to smooth over the rough places of life. Indeed. if it were not for lies life would be almost uDbear- able. It would be unsociable. to say the least. If we had to contine our selves strictly to the truth conversa- tion would be limited tO such pluti- tudes as "two and two are four" the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides," ''the earth is round." the sun is on time today" and the like.
 Whereas ruth Is limited. minutely and painfully exclusive, one has not to be at all particular about lies. They may take any form and disport in any garb.
 X lie never has to be verified. New ertheless 1t Is just as well to bear in mind that the art of lying requires n certain degree of consistency. for lies we'll told and vigorously Insisted upon have been known to pass current as truth for centuries, often to the annoy ance and headlessness of those who tried to set things right.
 To lie Is human; to tell the truth im. possible.-Life.

 Tom nodded. Yes, I know, Ed wina. I'm keeping track of these things"

 Tom blushed and turned away to his papers. "l am twenty-four. Edwina," he declared in slightly trembling tones, 'and have achieved nothing How could l think of

 When Edwina ripened Into charm ing eighteen and after the coloners third fervent proposal the light in her brown eyes. the gold brown glint of her hair and he note of her clear young voice became a topic here and there. and wooers could no longer be held back from the threshold.

Master Tom. with the tragedy of twen- ty-hve. six and seven lowing his hand some curly head. worked with his noxious mathematics and worried over the respective merits of Edwina's s army of signing Romeo chaps.

 Of course the time had come when Edwlna became all of twenty-one and unhampered mistress of really re- spectable fortune.

Murder and suicide is the finale of
the dual tragedy enacted in Mime

with a razor and then turned the
weapon upon himself. The man died
at the city hospital three hours after
the crime, while the woman died sew
eral hours later.
The police are at a loss to know
the reason for the crime The wo-
mans words before falling uncon-
sciOus were, HE cut me-" In the au-
tomobile patrol the man said on the
way to the hospital, "She did it all. "
He then lapsed into Inconsistencies.
The police have come to the con-
clnsion that the husband did the cut
ting after weeks debauch. He is
said to have threatened to kill his
wife before. Appearances of the room
where the crime took place show that
terrific death struggle took place.
