night When he met essel the road or in the garden
coming out of the gothic entrance arch OF the house
on which occasions she always seemed a little con-
used- he spoke to her coureously but with reserve
sometimes with sadness. In his faded brooding eyes
Jessel could read that cold obvousness to her real
presence to her vital young womanhood which in some
way strangely affected her Why should it affect her,
she asked herself why pain her even slightly this dis

question not with word thought but with action,

like some witch along the edge of the cliff to look at

overhangng the water. Now after three years he

The very next day he CHANGED upon Jessel standing

Some of the looser earth already streaming from
the mouth Of the vase. He eaped toward her with
hoarse cry tore it from her grasp and stood trembling
@Why what is the matter? cried Jessel, staring at
him and shrinking against the balustrade.
He could not tell her. He felt that if she knew the
truth it would be to both if the dead woman to
stand between them. An evasion came leaping to his
tongue

The next morning he found two great cracks extend
ing from ceiling to floor down opposite walls of the
library.

But now Jessel Sloane no longer came to Krayne,s
stone house the cliff. The garden neglected.
Mrs. Schlosser complained of missing esses absolutely
indispensable assistance. Most of ALL little Rose wept
and pined all day long The delicate feminine touch
that had put Kraynes library into such perfect order
absent too, and he himself missed the joyous,
wholesome, inspiring presence of this daughter of the
surges, who had already made herself place in his
lonely life. Little Rose grew pale and unhappy, then

nized Krayne in his new extremity.
The fever passed; Rose left her bed,
and Jessel the house. But she left
it with Krayne's tender and implor-
ing voice ringing in her ears, plead
ing for, winning, her promise to re-
turn and remain. 1t was not only
the garden. nor Mrs. Schlosser, nor
Rose who felt need of her now, but
Krayne himself. She had nursed
the daughter back to life; but the
father, at first without his knowledge
and perhaps without hers, she had
nursed back to Love.
TUNE was not cho en- because it
= was a familiar month for the
fateful forging of marriage ties, but
because it was then that all the rose
garden would stand in bloom. On
the day of the marriage the flowers
seemed to riot in the sunlight and
to shed their fragrance over house
and heart. But none Of all the
many varieties of roses bloomed
more marvelously than the Stella
di Sangue out of the bronze vase
in the library. Its petals opened
like chalices of coral and ruby, and
the perfume the full blown flowers
and buds gave forth was almost
like a song-if one might call per-
fume the voice of the flower. 1t
seemed to rejoice in this new found
life, to offer itself up as sacrifice, to
lavish itself, even as the faithful
heart of the dear dead woman re-
incarnated in its leaves and flowers
would have opened to pour her
love on all.
Jessel, unaware of the wondrous
meaning of her act, plucked the
most beautiful rose on the bush and
wore it in her hair, where its GRIM
son flame burned amid her dark,
coiled braids and glowed through
the white cloud of her veil.
Then, as the season passed into
autumn, the rosebush began to
wither and shrivel up. until nothing
but dry, crisp leaves and sapless
stalks remained.
Krayne gave his love and devo-
ton to his young wife; but the
thought, the strange secret of the
dead Stella, the mystery of the roses
and the ashes, he kept jealously
;. And yet he might well have told

lust then little Rose, her locks
dangling about her ears, came run
ming into the room; but before she
toddled to her father she flung her
self into Jessels arms and the two
kissed. Krayne stared at them, and
something stirred in a new region
of his heart. A brighter, softer look
came into his eyes. He was not only
wildly aware of Jessel's existence
now, but quite suddenly OF her
meaning; nay, more, OF her worth
to him. He went up to the long
windows and looked out over the
sea. Jessel, ashamed to leave her
task, continued her swift and silent
work about the room. She was
wiping the bronze vase that stood
on the shelf. Little Rose begged to
be lifted so she might peer into the
vase. Jessel raised the child in her
arms and held her high.
"Oh, Papa" cried Rose, as she
took the bronze cover in her little
hands, "what is this in the jar?7
Krayne turned and started. His
face paled, his voice shook and
ended in sob. "Oh. my dear, dear
little girl, that-that is some very
precious earth-holy earth-to grow
Ito grow roses in-your mothers
roses!"
That night he resolved that he
would at last fulfil his wife's request
and give b;..k the ashes to the ele-
ments. But when he stood bare
headed on the balcony above the
windwhipped floods, hugging the
vase against his breast, his resolu-
ton again failed him. Beneath him
the black sea groaned and heaved.
A vast, blind, outstretched monster
it seemed, hungering for this offer
ing, gnashing its white teeth at the
foot of the cliff, blowing upon him
with its cold, fierce breath. He
could not bear to fling away this
warm, sacred earth which bound
him to the past, he could not fling
this into the NAV of the night and
the sea, to be blown about the world
like the common dust under his
feet! The winds, steadily rising,
snatched at his clothes and howled.
That night pandemonium was let
loose in the skies. The ocean rose
and battered the cliff till the stone
house trembled, and the winds, like
tigers. caught at the easements with
teeth and claws.

COURTESY AND EFFICIENCY
(The Argonaut)


1t is not usually supposed that an
excessive politeness is in danger of
impairing our commercial efficiency,
that we are falling into the Industrial
rear because of our persistence in an
old-fashioned courtesy. But a gentle.
man in Cincinnati says that these
things are so and he boldly grasps the
banner OF the reformer and announces
that he will no longer raise his hat to
any one. 1t Is a waste Of time, and
time Is money as we all know. More
over, the exposure Is bad for the head,
but this calamity we can view with
equanimity in view OF the kind of head
that many people have.
Certainly we live in a practical age
and we ought to abolish the time vast
ers. How much we admire the young
man who rushes into your office, is too
busy to take his hat off, barks good.

to do that, and hurls his business at
your head without regard to your occu-
patton at the movement. We admire
him In an automatic kind of way, but
know quite well that 1t is only pose
and an affectation, and that he Is on.
ly pretending to be busy. Somewhere
at the back of our minds we know that
he Is not efficient, because courtesy is
part of efficiency. He is wearing out
| his own nerves. which does not mat
ter. but he Is wearing out our nerves
too, which does matter, for our nerves
are our capital. Almost without ex
ception the successful men of today
are coul teous men. The really eff
cient man OF business would no more
think of saying that he had not time
to be polite than of saying that he hat
not time to indorse u check.
