IL was after eight when a servant
tapped on the door with his card IL
bore a penciled note asking for a
few moments and after a little hesi-
tation she decided to see him.
She was shocked when she entered
the parlor and Brace rose to greet
her. One eye was blackened, his lip
was split and there was a heavy
bruise over one cheek bone. His
smile was the mockery Of mirth, but
he grinned amiably and held out the
ring.
81 know | don't deserve it," he
said, humbly, "but will you take
back the ring, dear? | think I've
learned my lesson. It's pity I did
not have it years ago. It would have
done me good"
"Was there a fight?" she cried in
dismay. Brace shook his head with
that mockery Of a smile.
There was no fight" he assured
sadly. "Hour-er-friend took me
into a coal yard just below the cor
ner Of the street where we alighted
and gave me one first-class thrash
ing for MASKING"
"But YOU we're not flirting" she
exclaimed.
"Your friend was not the sort of
chap who draws fine distinctions, :"
he reminded. ON fact, I sought to
explain that I was not a masher. but
that we were engaged and there had
been a row."
"And he was sorry them" she
cried.
"No," assured Brace, "T was.
You see he thrashed me all over
again for being unkind to my sweet
heart"
"Why didn't you have him arrest
ed?" she cried, Indignantly. "It
was an outrage"
quite the contrary" said Brace,
81 thanked him. We parted good
friends. 1t was on his advice that
I came up here to ask for another
chance. He gave me his address
and told me to tell you that if
got gay again to send for him.
With the muscular Mr.. Murphy how
ering in the background, are YOU
willing to give me another chance,
Bess?'

up her finger to receive the ring
again.
1t was plain to be seen that Hap

Enalish Words.

There are now 100000 words IN
the English dictionary, exclusive OF
foreign languages. Back three cen
turtles Shakespeare carried about IN
his head five times as many words
as the dictionary then contained; to-
day it has hundred words for ev-
cry one which a good writer viii
use. The great gains in the number
of words recorded within the last
fifty years have, of course, come
from a minute raking over of all ac-
cessible English documents and
from special branches of human la
Dor, particularly the sciences, In
which changing conditions have
made necessary hosts of new terms

few days later when the cop over
heard him say to her:

erything's coming out mighty pretty
and that the robins and bluebirds

During the delivery OF one OF

occupied the floor for many hours

that his remarks were not pertinent

She started. 1t seemed as though
her main pillar of strength was top

words were working; he saw also how
white and wan she locked.

"Suits me. Speaking of the Court of

The doctor hesitated a brief instant
before replying. Then, with shrug of
his shoulders, he said slowly: "My ex-
