elusive The girl reiterated all that
her aunt had previously said upon
her behalf. she did not hold that

In Exchange for a Soul.

Behind the counter all the day
The old obliging dealer stands;
He hath a grave and quiet way,
Yet now and then he rubs his
hands.
And what am to give for this?'

oh something none will ever
miss
Only thy little soul be saith.
Frederick Langbridge.
Lionel Gladwyn paced his cool,
comfortable bed-chamber in perurb-
ed meditation.
Life was moving fast, and ever
since he left the quiet farm at Gold
en- Ridge, the sense of excitement,
of adventure, had been growing with
in him. He felt as if it had been guid-
ed step by srep, across continent
and ocean, to stand that day in that
quiet, harmonious room, abode of
staid provincial propmety and white
provincial peace-and there to be
confronted with what he sought
to perceive the Gate of Freedom roll
inc back before his captive eyes-to
descry, beyond the woman of whom
he loathed TO think, the woman to
whom he scarcely dareu aspire.
He had arrived at about eleven
o'clock that morning. A carriage had
met him at the station-but empty
not bringing the girI-his girl as
he insistently told himself He had
been driven to the house upon the
hill, vaguely admfring as he passed
them the lovely blooming things that
fringed the drive. The country, az
ter the rain, bore a holiday aspect
which made his heart beat riotously.
He had not remembered how beau
tiful England was, nor had he ever.
to his knowledge, been in the west
country before.
Ushered into the morningroom he
had been received by Mrs. Bardsley.
Her substantial amiable, kindly man
ner, was reassuring. But her words
were discouraging. She told him that
she was empowered by her niece to
say that she had quite decided that
no marriage was possible between
herself and Mr.. Gladwyn for two
reasons. The first and, in fact, the
all-sufficient one was that she had
come to the conclusion that her
affection for him was not enough
The second, that she did not think
he was free to marry as long as
his wife lived.
Gladwyn, after the solemn pream
BILE. had been sensible of vast relief
He was glad that Vernon was not
too facile. 1t enhanced mis- already
high opinion of her. Her scruples
would need careful, delicate removal
Her feeling for himself demanded
and should receive, wooing and HON
age combined with a chivalrous self
restraint.
He was told that she was willing
to see him-that she thought it fair
est that he should take his dismissa
from her own lips. He replied I'm
daunted that he wished nothing bet
ter.
Aunt Emma looked with approva
at his fine physique, his really hand
: some hazel eyes, his manner of tn
best English, with an acquired Co

size. She decided that this ma

The accident of that short meet
ing had an effect-perhaps a decis-
i've one-upon Vernon's interview
with Lionel.
As she stood at the stairhead, she
had felt that the thing before her
was tremendous-it filled the future,
as it were: it was the main point
round which her mind circled. But,
when she entered the morningroom,
her heart was beating for another
cause. The few unimportant, foolish
words that had passed between her
and Jem-the fact of his absenting
himself and of the continual tension
between himself and her-filled all
the foreground of her emotions. She
was conscious, as she confronted Lii
onel, that he was not the nucleus
of her life. He was something that
lay outside-that could be dealt with
as a side issue.

Proving Too Much,

The National Association of Wooden
Manufa cturers proved too much at its
meeting in Washington last Thursday,
when it presented official statistics to
show that the revenues from wool
and woolens last year amounted to up
ward of $4,000, 900. On imports Of
wooden manufactures the revenues
amounted TO $17.G0O,o GOO of a total i'm

Wood of Boston who is quite a dab
ster in this sort of statistics. osti-
mates that the imports of wooden goods
last year amounted 20 s45, 100000 at
the American valuation"
The figures indicate how great IS
the need Of foreign wool and woolens
when the American people have to pay
SO enormous a tax upon them. BY the
time William Woods $40, 0Oo, 600 of
woolens at his valuation reached
American consumers. after passing
through the hands of importers. JOB
bers and retailers, the total was well
nigh doubled. But he and his respec-
table associates in tariff Speculation
leave out Of the account the large but

They omit, too. the cost to the health
of millions of the American people,

pure. warm and comfortable wooden
clothing. When the wooden manufac-
turers meet in national convention and

ConYriRht, 1911.

When critical circumstances seem
to surround you, laugh and go around
them: your greatest success can be
gained by adapting yourself TO circum-
stances rather than adopting them as
yours.
Man never fails when he tries his
best TO succeed; the man who either
says that he won't or that he can't
makes his failure a complete success.
The more you carry song and sun
shine in your heart, the easier It will
be for you to throw boquets 70 those
who need them.
The ability of man is shown by the
agility with which he shifts himself
to fit into changing conditions.
If you sit still and say nothing you
are not likely to offend any one; wis
dom that is kept silent doesn't build
a rugged reputation.
Benefits are glorious and good when
we have them ourselves, but they are
far better and sweeter when we bestow
them upon others.
Do not carry the cross of care if
you would have day and night fair;
always carry the gladstone smile and
you'll be happy all the while.
