There never was a word of truth in

his earnestness he leaned towards
her, half out of his chair.
"Oh, I'm so sorry murmured
Eunice, bending over her work.
Are you? And why. pray?"
Because it always seemed to me a
very wise arrangement for both of
you. She has beauty, refinement. and
social position; you have the money.

years she had schooled herself to

ever happened she would never cease
to care for him,

as nails Never gave her credit for
that sort of thing" But aloud he
said. with some show of dignity:
You seem to have left one item
out of your calculations, Eunice."
"And what may that be?" inquired
the girl, holding her work up to the
light and inspecting it very earnestly.
II didn't care for her in that way"
Poor thing" Eunice retorted
mockingly. How dreadful, Did she
ever find it out?"

Wilfrid found his hat and then the

cool beauty-a little more mature, a
little more sedate and womanly, and

"Of course ! am glad to see you"

her eyes to his as she spoke with
steadfast and limpid regard, their
depths unstirred by any sign of deep

: HtRKIMtR Is UNDER WAFER
Village Doomed If Relief From Flood
Is Lonq Delayed.

Utica, MY, March 2.-Overwhelm
ed by the worst food in the history
of the Mohawk valley. the village of
Herkimer is in a state of unprece'
dented distress. With the electric
lighting plants out of commission. the
gas shut off at the mains, no water
supply available for domestic pur-
poses and food at premium, the sit
uation confronting the flood-stricken
villagers is desperate. Hundreds sit
in the upper rooms of their dwellings
while water gurgles through the win
dows of the lower floors.
No immediate relief is at hand, for
with the mild weather the crest OF
the food will hardly be reached be-
fore another 36 hours. If this proves
to be the case, the town of Herkimer
with several thousands will be little
better than a destroyed community.
Four-fifths of the town are already
under water and the property dam
age exceeds $250,000.
