The value OF strict school discipline
was never more satisfactorily shown than
ia the fire near Plainheld, n j. when
Catholic institutions building was de-
stroyed and not one Of the $50 inmates
was lost. II was all due to the pose
OF the sisters in charge OF the institu-
ton, who with remarkable GOODNESS col
lected the children and marched them
from the building. The incident empha-
sizes anew the worth OF having plan
mapped out to be followed III case Of
crisis like that; and the plan cannot
be made to work out wen unless the
details of it are drilled into the minds
of the children through frequent prae-
tice Hence, the fire drill ought to be

CHAPTER X. Loves Perplexity.


 'T SUPPOSE I have have been ill. I mean very, very ill-danger- ously."
 Mary was lying on a couch in her bedroom. She was fully dressed, and on rare occasions had been permit ted to totter round the room, sup ported by Tanta Sheperd's robust arm. The couch was drawn up to the window, which was wide open to admit the bright, sunlight air. "Yes, it as bad. About as bad as enteric can be-. It's been a sore trouble to us all.'
 Tanta looked up from her needle dwork. Her round eyes lifted over the tops of her glasses to her charges wan face. If she had no great skill in sickness she had sharp ear and eye for her patients moods And moods tell much during conval- essence. The girls tone was deject- ed.
 "You mustn't be angry with me l been at so much trouble. It would have been much easier all round ii I had-had died"
 The work dropped in heap or the old woman's lap. Her inquiring look had suddenly become stare o1 | mortified amazement. She struggled to her feet without word-she was beyond words-and, ambling to the bedside, began turning down the soft white sheets. Mary watched he, | movements in surprise.
 What are you doing, Tanta ?' she asked sharply.
 Back you go to bed this minute | You'll not get up again until Doctor l Henderson's been to see you. I'll say you're light-headed-which is only an excuse for your wickedness.' Since Mary's illness the old Afri- | kander had come to treat her charge very much as she would treat 8 child.
 l Nonsense. I'm going back to bed so come and sit down again." The command was premptory, for Mary was feeling fretful. Its your owr fault for sitting there without saying a word. It's stitch, stitch, stitch al day, till I feel as if you were stitch. ing me all up, and I hadn't got room to breathe. Do as you're told. Tn sure if Ferman were here he'd be very angry with you" | It was the patients first act o1 open rebellion, but Tanta did not yield without protest.
 ''If the master was here it's you who'd have nothing to say. It's you who'd be in bed pretending to bs you. And when he'd gone you'd cry as I've seen you do this many times. tress Mary was not strong enough tc take up her proper position yet. Be- sides, that long illness had enlighten. ed her ito things which at one time she had only half suspected. Nevertheless she came back obed- iently to her chair and picked up hel work again. And Mary went on, ig- noring her reproaches. | CTo Be Continued.j

 Mary will recover" Elwood went on. in. his deep voice "So you see the position becomes impossible. What do you propose to do?"
 Guys wonderment grew; it was plainly visible in his eyes. What did he propose to do?" He moved un- easily on his rough seat. Why could not this injured husband say or do something violent? He would know where he was then. As it was, he found himself groping, and was forced to strike out haphazard.
 We were lovers four years ago" he said. '1t is no fault of ours. It is you who have thrust yourself be- tween us. Yes; things are precisely as they were, only that Mary is now married to you"
 .Elwood carefully lit his pipe, press ed the tobacco down with his match box, and handed the latter across to his companion. There was not the smallest display of animosity in his manner. They smoked in silence for some moments Guy was waiting for the husbands reply in the hopes of obtaining a lead. It came at last.
 Tt is because of these things that I am talking to you now." he said quietly. Had they been otherwise we'll, perhaps I shouldn't be talking to you Before leave here tonight I intend that you shall fully under stand my views on the matter"
 He paused. as though carefully se- lecting his next words.
 Let me state at once that I do not admit a religious side to the state ot matrimony. To me the bond is merely the humanly legal form ot one of Natures greatest laws. A necessary contract founded by socie- ty to enforce parental obligations This being so, it necessarily follows that I consider an engagement be- tween a man and a woman to be in violable. They are for each other self-eIected, self-sanctioned. There fore. the man or woman who steps in between these two is committing as grievous a moral crime as if he came between them after they were married"
 Guy nodded. The others argument held him interested, in spite of the doubt in his mind as to whither il was leading. But the warmth de rived from the spirit he had imbibe6 had died out under the influence o1 the icy tones in which it was put forth
 "very we'll.

Therefore I was left free tC act as I saw fit. Three weeks ago learned that I had been mistaken The bond still held. The man was not dead. and the love which hai first brought them together still re mained between them.

later, the mischief was done. The legal right is mine if am minded to enforce it. But am not so mind ed. I abide by my principles. More, abide by the dictates of my regard for Mary; and these dictates are that, at all costs, her happiness must be secured"
 Guy felt easier for himself, but the | mans statement completely over whelmed him. Was he mad? Did he intend to give Mary up to him? No. He couldn't do it if he would, without bringing shame upon her. upon him | self. And he had expressly empha- sised his desire for her happiness. But he had not seen the tigerish light in Elwood's eyes as he looked into his pipe at the beginning of their in- terview. Had he done so he would never have questioned; he would have
 thought only of the possible outcome of their meeting. l "I had no right to come between you," Elwood pursued coldly. "But having done so, it only remains to
 make such reparation as is possible.
 If Mary's happiness lies in your hands
 she shall go to you. If, on the con-
 trary. it lies in mine, nothing on
 earth shall take her from me-"
 1 Suddenly Guy became possessed of
 a growing feeling that the mans
 quiet words masked some deadly pur. pose. He glanced round him, and his eyes fell upon his revolver reposing 1 in it's holster on the wall. Elwood saw the direction his eyes had taken
 and his lips compressed grimly.
