Vos Engo, being an officer in the roy

LOOKING FOR AN EYE.

"HE witch was haranguing her
huddled audience, cursing the
soldiers, laughing gleefully In
the faces of her stately, scorn-
full guests, greatly to the irritation Of
Baron Dangloss, toward whom she
showed an especial attention.
Tullis was holding the prince in his
arms. Colonel Quinnox stood before
them. keeping the babbling, leering
beldame from thrusting her face close
to that of the terrified boy. The Count
ess Marlanx, pale and rigid. her won
drous eyes glowing with excitement,
stood behind John Tullis.
With incredible swiftness the storm
passed. Almost at its height there
came a cessation of the roaring tenn
pest, the downpour was checked, the
thunder died away and the lightning
trickled off into faint flashes The sky
cleared as if by magic. The exhibit
ton, If you please, was over!
'It Is the most amazing thing I've
ever seen," Dangloss said over and
over again.
The Countess Marlanx was trem-
bling violently. Tullis. observing this,
tried to laugh away her nervousness.
''Mere coincidence; that's ALL" he
said. you can't believe she brought
about this Storm"
"It isn't that" she said in q low
voice. 81 feel as if grave personal

Ten minutes later the cavalcad
started down the rain swept road to
ward the city, dry blankets having
been placed across the saddles occu

gleefully, inviting them to come often

readily.
John Tullis found himself being drag
ged away from the witch's door to-
ward the newcomer at the bottom of
the glen. Mr.. Hobbs listened with
deepening awe to the friendly CONVEX
sation which resulted in Truxton King
going forward to join the party in
front of the hut.
Truxton was duly presented to the
ladies and gentlemen of the party by
John Tullis, who gracefully announced
that he knew Kings parents in New
York. Baron Dangloss was quite an
old friend, If one were to judge by the
manner in which he greeted the young
man. The lady in gray smiled so
sweetly and nodded so blithely that
Tullis, instead of presenting King to
her as he had done to the Countess
Marlanx and others, merely said:
"And you know one another, Of
course" Whereupon she flushed very
prettily.
Truxton King, scarcely able to be-
lieve his good fortune, crowded into

aristocratic companions.

ONE PROBLEM FOR
A MARRIED WOMAN

Every woman has to make the
decision-will you live your life
with your husband as one or as
two? VIII you interest yourself in
the things he likes and make his
life easier for him?
The man who comes home to
complaints about the cook and the
grocery bin is getting mighty poor
refreshment for a brain tired after
the days work.
The man who comes home to
companion who can talk intelli-
gently and interestedly about the
things in which he is interested has
an ideal married life.
1t lies wholly in the wife's hands
as to which of these conditions will
prevail, for the men--poor, helpless
creatures-cannOt alter the condi-
uons of home life in this respect.
