FOURTEEN ERRORS OF LIFE.

The IA mistakes of life are:
To expect to set UP our own stand.
ard of right and wrong and expect
everybody to conform to 1t.
To try to measure the enjoyment OF
others by our own.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world.
To look for judgment and experience
in youth.
To endeavor to mold all dispositions
alike.
Not to yield in unimportant trifles
To look for projections in our own
actions.
To worry ourselves and others about
what cannot be remedied.
Not to alleviate If we can all that
needs alienation.
Not to make allowances for the
weaknesses of others.
To consider anything impossible
that we cannot ourselves perform.
To believe only what our finite minds
can grasp.
To live as the moment, the time,
the day We're so important that it
would live forever.
To estimate, people by some out
side quality, for it is that within
which makes the man.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Carleton Household.

Mrs. Carleton's dinner table that evening presented a very different at mosphere from the night before.
 The hostess herself was present only by a strong effort of will power. Mrs. Carleton had been greatly over come by the shock of the dreadful news,and, aside from the sadness and horror of the tragedy, she was ex- ceedingly disappointed at what seem- ed to her the ruin of her sons future.
 The Carletons were an old aristo- cratic family, though by no means possessed of great fortune.
 The alliance, therefore, with the wealth of the Van Norman estate, and the power of the Van Norman name, seemed to Mrs. Carleton the crowning glory of her sons career, and she had been devoutly thankful when the weddjng-day was set.
 Though stubbornly unwilling to be- lieve it, she had of late been forced to notice the growing attachment be- tween Schuyler and her own com panion, Miss Burt, and had 1t not been for the surety of the approach ing wedding, she would have dis missed the girl. But so certain was she that her sons ambitions, like her own, were centered on the Van Nor man name, she could not believe that Schuyler would let himself become greatly interested in Dorothy Burt.
 But she did not allow for that mis- chievous Imp of Romance who plays havoc with hearts without saying "by
