ran the thought that the Advances

The editors heart sWelled with SYM
pathy for the woman whose ambitions
for herself and her daughter had
caused the bilterest pain that injured
pride can give. He saw that it would
be difficult for her to learn that social
position in a big city can be won only
by skillful maneuvering. the ability to

me watching over you trying to lead
you in the path that know will alone

When all was over and he began
the life without her these words came
back, to him, and be was wonder
stricken that they should have been
spoken by woman. and that woman
his own wife. But the realization of
her wish is impossible" he reasoned.
because l shall never find the woman
who can fill the place she has left va
cant. and if could find one who could
fill it | would not wish it filed"
On this account and from preference
he hugged her memory and ignored
her wishes. Shortly before her death
and while she was in the flush of
health her portrait had been painted
This portrait he took from the wall
where it hung and placed it over bis
desk in his study. He was a literary
man. and his work was Influenced by
the woman whose mental and moral
strength and virtues were memorized
in the portrait
A year passed, and he still loved-a
memory. Was it love or the memory
Of love? He never asked himself
the question. He did not doubt that
It was love. 1t might not occupy his
mind. he admitted. as much as at FIRST.
but this is true of one we love who has
been gone long while. Those who
are absent do not occupy our thoughts
as if they were present. but on their
return we find them as dear to us as
ever. AT times he would remember
her earnest look when she had made
her last strange request and would
experience a momentary troubled re-
gret that he could not accede to it.
Then he would recall the reason and
would be satisfied
One day FIVE years after her death
he stood looking at her picture. 1t
seemed to him that there was more
mature look about it than he had be-
fore noticed. The lips did not appear
so red. the eyes not quite so bright.
Then sudden pleasing thought struck
him. He was growing older. and some
unexplained mental or. rather, soul con-
struction within him was enabling him
to see her growing older with him.
Whence it sprung or what power had
planted it he cared not. 1t was there.
They would grow old together.
Another period passed. and he no.
ticed greater change. The cheek
seemed to have lost some of it's round
ness. The nostril was thinner. There
were faint whitish pencil streaks on
the hair that might be the effect Of
