resurrection seems to him as mucn q
thing Of the past as the parting on
the Margate beach. Five minutes
later the restored husband and the
supplanted lover are chatting to-
gether with friendliness that must
dispel Rosie's last lingering dread as
to the possibility Of duel. In half
an hours time O'Shea is whispering
affectionately in his wife's ear
Darby and Joan together on the
sofa, and Belinda finds herself at an
open window, in the farthest corner
of the room, with Roger Temple by
her side.
They talk commonplaces for long
time, talk about the clearness of the
night, the beauty Of the stars, the
sweetness of the orange flowers in the
courtyard. They keep at distance;
they dare not look into each Others
eyes. And all the while they know
that they are lovers; that the good
by spoken between them a couple Of
hours ago is Cancelled; that they are
free; and God willing, mean to pass
through the rest of their lives to-
gether, hand in hand.
The End.

*Yoursl You have not been to

like in this, that she should sooner
guilt rested upon her than blame with
the man she loves. "You meant only
to be kind to me at first for Rosie's
sake. How could you guess that ]
was going to make such a miserable
fool of myself?"
Her voice quiversy breaks down;
she covers her face with her hands,
and once more Rogers arm, unre-
sisted, holds her close. The embrace
lasts for minutes space or more,
and Roger is the first to speak.
Before we go on our way again,
before we go back to our path and

But Roger does not misunderstood

abandonment of that caress he reads

SIN the main, the position of wom-

want who is sure always of generous
tips, when there is extra work, and
of carefully sinecured old age. Like
servant, however, it is to her inter-
est to spy on the master, to discover
his weaknesses and to play upon
them. In some respects it is a pleas
ant position, although it is always an
uncertain one. For, from her birth
to her death, her welfare depends
not on herself, but on man; her
father or brother or guardian first,
her husband second, her son last.
Luck always controls her destiny.
Though the wheel of chance may set
her in pleasant place to-day, there
is always the dread on her of weeks
notice. the possibility Of the crowded
vista of the employment agency to-
morrow. Her duties, ranging over a
limited arc OF human endeayor, made
for cheap versatility rather than, as
in the case of the men, for the devel-

Origin of "Rec Tape.

The term 'red tape" is used to de-
note excessive routine and formality
in the management of official affairs;
servile adherence to precedent. Be
fore the invention of the modern APP
planes of elastic bands. file holders
and other means of securing papers,
all official documents were bound
with red ribbons or tapes. The nee
essary delay caused by the undoing
of tapes by slow-moving Government
officials before business could be
transacted came at length to stand as
representative Of all delays.

The death penalty will be abol-
ished when no one deserves the death
penalty, say some; there will always
be savages deserving of the death
penalty while there remain savages
to impose it, say others, argues the
Montreal Witness. The more human
tartan men become the more hateful
judicial killing is to them. Yet there
are times when those who hate it
most feel inclined to invoke it as the
only expiation to fit some appalling
crimes. However one may regard
this penalty, it does not seem to be
borne out, as some of its advocates
believe, that where the death penalty
is banished murders increase.

The direction in which the Dos
ton-1915" committee is moving for
the improvement of the manner of
celebrating Independence Day is I'M
questionably right and encouraging.
The general aim, remarks the Boston
Post, is to substitute harmless enter
tainment for that which is destruc-
tive. 1t is an advance upon that
which Mayor Gaynor has ordered in
New York, the latter being only a
prohibition of explosives and the sale
of fireworks, since a substitute of less
perilous character is offered. The
chief obstacle in each instance is that
of traditional license. The legacy of
John Adams in approval of the an
cient explosive method has acquired
too great permanency. Nevertheless,
we believe that the day Is not far dis
tant when the slaughter Of the inno-
cents will not remain an essential
feature of the day.
