Buried In Wooden,

In 1919 an act was passed in Eng
land requiring the dead to be buried in
wooden, the purpose being to lessen
the importation OF linen from beyond
the seas and the encouragement Of the
wooden and paper manufactures Of this
kingdom" A penalty Of Is was in
flicted for a violation of this act, and
as frequently people preferred to be
buried in linen record Of the fine ap-
pears. For example. at Clayton. North
amptonshire. we find in the register:
"17OS. Mrs. Dorothy Bellingham was
buryed April 5. in LINEN, and the for
fixture Of the Act payd. fifty shillings
to We informer and fifty shillings to the
poor Of the parishe."
Pope wrote the following lines on
the burial Of Mrs. Oldfeld. the actress,
with reference to this custom:
"Odious. In wooden. 'Twould a saint
provoke"

raderie fatal to sentiment.
1t is doubtful whether even encOur-
agement would have wrung the secret
from his lips. The first Joy Of loving
was past and in it's place had come a
flood Of self distrust, of self deprecia-
ton. To his tortured mind an un.
bridgeable gulf of training and tradi-
lions seemed to sweep between them.
She had been the petted child Of rich
parents. and on her had been lavished
the gifts Of college education and
years of foreign travel. This attempt
at independence and self support had
been treated as her latest whim and
humored accordingly. He had scram-
bled from common school education
into the pitfalls that beset the path Of
a newspaper reporter. Every upward
step had been bought at the price f
hard work. 1t was but Il short time
since the problem of meeting his board
bill had been an all important one.
That was the first of many calls,
but the succeeding visits. while they
strengthened his love. gave no courage
for it's declaration.
At last, in his desperation, plan
dawned upon him by which he might
learn his fate and yet spare her the
pain of refusal. She had asked him

1t might have been minutes. it might
have been hours. that he sat there
staring at the scrap Of paper. Then,
with n groan. he buried his face in his
arms. as If to shut out the words. His
castle in Spain had fallen down about
his ears, and he sat among the ruins.
The sun was setting when he rose
brusquely and went out into the air to
walk and walk in the hope that phys
ical WEAKNESS might stifle his suffer-
ing. The GOODNESS of night brought a
dogged courage to blot out the past,
with its day dreams. and turn to the
future.
But 1t was weary work. The end Of
the week found him so worn and bag
gard that his friends declared he was
overworked and advised rest and
change. "Your novel is making such
a success you can afford to do it."
they urged. He only smiled bitterly
and shook his head. 1t seemed such
cruel mockery to think that the sue
cess Of his cherished novel should
bring him no happiness.
He was listlessly sorting his mail
one morning when his eye fell upon a
tiny blue envelope which had been
hidden by the others. His heart SEEM
ed to leap into his throat. for he rec
ognized the hand. He read:
Dear Mr. Saunders-It is so long since
have seen you that am pining for one OF
our chats. To be sure. l have just come
back from my three weeks vacation. but
then you had not been to see me for ever
so long before that. Is there anything
the matter? Come up tonight, and per-
haps can explain. Yours sincerely.
CECIL TRAVERS.
Again Mr.. Saunders sat staring at a
piece Of paper, but this time it was
the shock Of sudden joy. She had new
er seen his story. 1t had been turned
down by her deputy reader.
He made most of the explanations
that evening but Miss Travers did not
seem to mind.

DECLINED
WITH THANKS,
A Rejected Love Story and the
Letter That Came After.
BY e. j. BURKE.

Miss Cecil Travers-Mr. Philip Saun.
ders''
Some benevolent individual intro
duced them at the Pen and Pencil
club. Saunders afterward spoke of
linn as the hand of fate" But then
he was under the sway of the blind
znod and so not responsible for either
his remarks or his eyesight.
1t was certainly Il case Of love at
first sight-on the part of Saunders.
When he looked down into the dark
eyes raised so frankly to his own he
gave up his heart Internationally. In
all his thirty-fve years nothing had
sent the blood rushing so riotously
through his veins as the firm. warm
clasp of her hand.
But he was a quiet. self controlled
fellow. with a composure born Of years
OF struggle up the uncertain literary
ladder So he did not hold the little
hand second longer that politeness
demanded. There was no trace OF
eagerness in his manner as he sat
down on the diyan beside her and be-
gan to talk as few men and fewer
women had heard him talk-brilliant-
~, with flashes of wit and sarcasm re-
iieving the underlying earnestness Of
shought.
Cecil Travers was quite unconscious
OF The metamorphosis she was produc-
ins. She only thought that this big
blond man was not nearly as unap-
proc cilable as he looked. He was real
iy charming. And, what was the more
remarkable, he did not talk about him
seif.
The girl found this an unusual eXpe-
rience. AS reader for one Of the maya
zines and writer Of short stories she

herself, "the minds always seem to
