The little waves flashed clear in the
moonlight. The softest of summer
winds breathed romance. The man
and the girl in the clin arbor were
silent under the spell
Over and over the girl repeated to
herself the warning she had received:
Look out for Robert Winsor-he's a
trifer, He is everything to every
body. He makes love to a girl
until she cares, and then-it is some
one elsei"
He will find there is one girl who
doesn't dangle at his chariot Wheels -
she whispered defiantly to her I'M

In the mans ears were ringing the
words of the men who have come be-
fore him: Frances Bradford is a
flawless statue; she lacks the divine
fire-nothfng touches her. She is the
most supremely self-sufficient person
you ever met She's just the girl
for you to pour your superluous af-
fections upon, Bobby! You won't
wake up some day to find you have
broken her heart unintentionally."
she looks like an angel" groaned
Winsor inaudibly, and miserably.
Frances became suddenly conscious
of the silence. You are sitting with

mean me, you may look upon me to-
morrow under better light, but never
again can you see this night as it is
now. Turn round, like a good boy,
so you can understand what am

DODGE THE POSTAGE STAMP
Foreign Countries Devising Schemes
for Benefit of Large Users
of the Mails.

Any man who can devise a practi-
cal substitute for the postage stamp
will deserve the gratitude of every
large business house in the world. and
may earn a large fortune For the
labor of affixing stamps TO their enor-
nous mail necessitates in some firms
the employment OF special clerical
staff
In the postofices of some countries
steps in this direction have already
been taken Here. for instance. news
papers and magazines are mailed by
their publishers in bulk without
stamps, and the postage IS paid in a
lump sum of one cent pound Then.
again, some firms that send out large
quantities of circulars register them
selves under a certain number at the
postoffice. their envelopes are printed
with this number and the circulars so
mailed are paid for in bulk In Ba-
varia large consignments of letters
may merely be postmarked by ma
chinery and sent without stamps. the
postage fee being paid in lump sum

since February l, 1910, this system
has saved the Bavarian postofice the
expense for paper and the printing
cost for 100000 stamps.
