1t is an exceedingly ancient theory
that all men and women are created in
pairs; that for each and every one
there is his or her Complementary mate
Only, often the affinities are sepa-
rated by the width of the world. more
or less, and so never meet. when
marriage being a natural n inherent
instinct of the human race, they
marry someone else's affinity. In such
cases the resulting degree of matri-
monial bliss or misery largely If not

of the contracting parties.
Experience and observation 60 to
prove that afinities are developed
rather than made in full perfection al

1t would almost be a miracle if two
people, having identically the same
tastes, tendencies and desires, in per-
feet sympathy with each other, could
meet and marry.

Coast of Chance Uttered with
Matrimonial Wrecks Washed
Up by Incompatibility.

Even among brothers and sisters,
members of the same family. there are
differences; how much more with
strangers?
In the first place, there is the radical
dissimilarity of the masculine and
feminine temperaments: a difference
which, rightly directed. makes to union,
upon the fundamental principle that
"~opposites attract" but which, also, Oh
occasion. serves to repel.
Training and environment are mighty
in shaping character; heredity, the
perennial which always is cropping UP
in unexpected places, is another power
full factor to be dealt with.
No sensible woman engages a servant
without a satisfactory reference; no
business man in his right mind o n
ldes his money to a plausible stranger.
Yet lovers continually take each
other upon. trust, often disregardlng
the counsels Of their friends, and run
the infinitely greater risk of marrying
upon what they call love at hrst sight,
and on short acquaintance, frequently
by far too short for the two who under
take each other for better or worse
to have any but the most superficial
knowledge of one another.
Small wonder that marriage, in such
case, should be a lottery, that men
SO often find that they have married
the wrong woman, that the too
late realizes that equally she has mar
ried the wrong man.

The glare was binding. momentarily;
but the fash and report for which
Maitland waited did not come. When
his eyes had adjusted themselves to
the suddenly altered condition, he saw,
directly before him and some six feet
distant, a woman's slight figure. dark
cloaked3 resolute upon It's two feet,
head framed in yelling, features eff

whose round, staring goggles shone
blankly in the warm white light.
On her part, she seemed to recognize

1t may as we'll be admitted hat Matt
lands wits were gone wool-gathering,
temporarily at least, a state of mind
not objectionable when 1t is taken into
consideration that he was called upon
to grapple with and simultaneously to
assimiiate three momentous facts. For
the first time in his life he found him
self nose to nose with a revolver, and
that one of able-bodied and respect
compelling proportions. For the first
time in his life, again, he was under
necessity of dealing with a house
breaker. But, most Supplying of all,
he found the fact that this house
breaker, this armed midnight m%arauder,
was a woman! And so 1t was not alto
gether fearlessness that made him to
all intents and purposes ignore the
weapon; 1t is nothing to his credit for
courage II his eyes struck past the
black and deadly mouth of the revolver
and looked only into the blank inc ex-
p~ressionless eyes of the wind-mask; 1t
was not lack Of respect for his skins
integrity, but the sheer, tremendous
wonder of II all, that rendered him
oblivious to the eternity that lay the
other side of a slender, trembling
fnger-tip.
And so he stared, agape, until pres
emily the weapon wavered and was
lowered and the woman's voice, touched
with irony, brought him to his senses.
"Oh," she remarked coolly, ITS only
you"
ThuDderstruck, he was able no more
than to parrot the pronoun: YOU

Maitland had no notion whatever OF

unawares, difficult as he believed SUCH
a feat would be, in the case Of a pro-
fessional craftsman.
Down the hallway he CROPPED his way
