the Winter league with a percentage
of .454, having connected safely five

AS Newell has appeared in only two

most ambitious dreams.
For despite the fact that Cupid is 81
often associated with folly, the impetus
OF a true love is. always for the best,
It tends to aspiration, the desire for
mutual Improvement and has a matur-
ing influence on even the lightest
natures.
Very rarely do the two most con-
cerned realize what an important phase
they are passing through, for the
gIamor of youth and love is upon them
and their difficulties even are idealized,
misted over with the giittering haze
of the dream that comes but once In
its first dew and fire
to, all these young couples in it's more
trying aspects; its realities and sacri-
fees for matrimony are full of disci-
pline in it's early months and calls for
many renunciations if it Is to lead to
happy life together.
When selfishness or even the first
symptoms of it mar the honeymoon it
portends danger ahead. Sometimes,
when a clergyman performing a mar
rage ceremony amid the atmosphere
of flowers. music, pretty gowns and
happy faces begins a serious discourse
it seems almost like a breach of good
taste on his part to drag in any men
tfon of life's sterner side.
Yet this is the time really when it is
needful to heed the old warning that
the first year of married life is the i'm
portant one upon Which much of the
after-happiness depends. Itis the time
when two characters. already formed,
must mold themselves to mutual inter-
ests. departing even~from family ties

if they interfere with the new home
and the new happiness of these two
who are, setting out together on the
road towards the sunset.
Sometimes one of the two will be
called upon for all the giving up and
| giving in, and. in this prudence must
guide the over-lovins young husband
and wife, for very few natures will
stand the spelling process-the con-
slant adulation and waiting upon, which
in such cases are sometimes wrongly
bestowed.
: The young people must take up their
life sanely, with a knowledge of the
duties of each for the other. Unset
fishness and sweetness must be tenn
pered with good sense, and very often
the most palpabie and serious faults of
q young man or a girl win vanish COM
pletely under the new influence.
To give In completely to some serious
fault or %disflguring trait of character
in the other is not meeting the test of
marriage properly. Too much giving
In will spoil a man or a woman in this
new relation more quickly than love
and sympathy tempered with discretion
and a clear understanding of What il
right or what must be made right with
this new beginning.
1t is beautiful often to read of the
complete remuneration of a marriage
but renunciation should lead to devel-
opment, and many a girl who for the
sake of harmony gives meekly in to
some disfiguring vice could at this time
use her power, never stronger. to make
the new home a better influence than
all the mres that drag young men down
unconsciously.
But whatever the method. there can
be no quarrels or moody silences to
mar this time that was planned when
the June roses bloomed and the sum
mer sweetness was in the air. Love.
after all, works the magic of making
the new home a happy one. and If one
fails then the other takes up the task
of mending the breach, the quarrel or
the faux before the sun goes down.
The Weaker of the two often shows
the most astounding strength of char
acter and helps the stronger one
through the maze of indecision or of
business acknowledgment. In rare cases
one finds two balanced characters. each
bending to the now conditions with
gracious Willingness until life becomes
nearly perfect, n there can be no
break in the new bond till death ends

which some people called a conspiracy.
placed him somewhat at a d~isadvan-
tage with public men in Washington.
Senator March, however, liked Cole
grove well enough, and was by nc means
afraid of him, and if Alicia March
wanted TO have him at her brilliant
dinners her husband made no objection.
Senator March was chairman of the
committee which was dealing with
Colegrove and his associates. but so
far nothing had been discovered of a
nature damaging to C~olegroye or his
friends. AS he good -humoredly told
Senator March, the railways asked only
to be let alone, and Senate March,
with equal good huinor. replied that
was the very thing that the committee
did not mean to do.
As the committee would not agree to
let Colegrove alone, but persisted i'll
asking prying questions. the next best
thing for him was to find out exactly
what the committee knew and how it
proposed to act. Alicia March was the
instrument ready to Ills hand. Cole
grove, who had a vast quantity of that
semi-divine gift known as common
sense, was under no Illusion respecting
Alicia March's Influence over her hus-
band. Senator March was deeply de-
voted to his wife, but neither she nor
any other human being who ever lived
could swerve Roger March from his
duty. or cause him to betray the small
est trust. He was not. however. on
guard against his wife. and Colegrove
knew it.
When he passed the March house late.
at night and saw the lights burning in
Senator March's study, and knew that
he was at work there with his clerk
and a stenographer, Colegrove longed
to know what they We're writing. How
easy it would be for Mrs. March to
make a few copies of the letters and
mem ranGa, which would be immensely
useful to the A. f. and O.! Rejecting
on this, Colegrove cultivated Mrs.
March's society. Being a man Of acute
observation, he found out some things
about Alicia March which not even her
husband knew. He discovered that she
had a strange sense of d~islocation In
her new place. She had been forced. as
she thought. in her previous life to have
many concealments. and she still had
them, but they gave her a vague sense
of discomfort which she had never
known before. Still the habit was upon
her, and she had the conviction that
.concealment. however wrong, was abb
solutely necessary.

had ever Known seemed TO penetrate

into his Dun quarters.
+ Ten minutes later Mrs. March, in a
lplain walking dress, with a thin black
veil over her face. went out Of her "
door, and when she was well around
the corner, called a cat and gave the
address of a plain hotel in the lower
part OF the city. As she leaned back
in the i~amshackle cab she drew her
veil still more closely soyer her
face and tried to collect her
thoughts for the Interview which she
sought. but her mind wandered to all
manner of subjects. How strange it
was that she, the wife OF one OF the
richest men in the Senate, with an al
lowance which was a fortune in itself.

money. She never remembered the
time in her life that such had not been
the case. When she married Senator

principle had caused her to spend not

shame and even fear that she had felt
toward her father prevented her from
opening her heart to her husband. the
soul of Indulgence. There was a kind
OF rigid morality about Roger March,
and the idea that she had made debts
which she concealed from him she
knew would appear as a crime in his
eyes. He would. of course, pay them
Of that she felt quite ~certain-but in
