TODAY INSTRUMENT.

Mr.. Levasseur anticipated that his re-
quest might, If not surprise, perhaps en-
barrass you for the moment" he said
He is on that account anxious for us
to arrange an interview between you"
AN interview? Impossible" cried Mrs
Darlington, with a sharp catch in her
breath. He is in prison, isn't he? L"
The solicitor paid no heed to her agita
ton.
Impossible? BY no means" he re
piled, perturbably we have as
matter of fact, made arrangements for
an interview tomorrow morning at II
o'clock, knowing that in a matter of life
and death as this is, all other engage
ments would give way before it.
Edith Darlington Stared at him with
wide eyes like a creature brought to bay
The jaws Of the trap in which she was
caught were merciless indeed; difficulties
confronted her wherever she looked
there was no way of escape Even had
she wished 10 keep the appointment, and
the very thought of it was intolerabe it

Mr. Bradford took up his hat and looked
at her stolidly; and from her to the pat

"Mr. Levasseur,' said he, presently, in
a low voice, is in q position that it is
no eXaggeration to call desperate. Do
YOU think it altogether wise to refuse the
request of a desperate man."
For the moment there was absolute ST
lence in the room. Mrs Darlington lips
formed words, but no sounds came from
them. She half rose from her chair then
sank back with sharp indrawing of the
breath. Her fear-sharpened ears had
caught a sound. the touch of fingers upon

dred physicians
What he said was listened to with
earnest attention, for DR.. Charles L.
Dana is eminent in his profession
Moreover, he is of that subtle branch
of the tree of therapeutics which deals
with its diseased mind
He believes a man or women has less
need to consider the dangers of occu-
patton than the manner Of living dur
ing the unemployed hours
Discussing the forces that make for
man who has been the arbiter Of thou
sands of destinies, whose word has
opened the gates of hospitals for the
insane to permit persons to go free,
and whose verdict has closed those
gates upon many others, said
Man needs social life as much as he
needs air and food. A man is like Ger
tain trees, which do their best when
they are planted just so far a;ert Not
too close, for then the roots encroach
and rob each other of nourishment
and not so far apart that there is no
support and protection from the sun
and wind"
These words by the apostle of mental
soundness are as worthy Of earnest
thought as the text of your favorite
minister's sermon last Sunday
Recall the persons you know who
live too much alone. Eccentric, aren't
they? Different from the average per
son? Prone to stubbornness and adj
dicted to exalting their own opinions
above those Of their fellows But they
are sturdy folk. The roots of their
beliefs are deep On the other haand
pass in fancys procession before you

human hub-bub, who confess that @&ey

lures, most of them, spineless and
without mental resources

tinuous association with others, and
will show you a man of limited intell-
gence and shallow character The wom-
an whose life is a one grand CAD after
the pleasures of the tea and card table

to unravel some tight knot in our own
affairs.
The announcement recently that
woman died from the exactions of her
social life caused no tears Of sympathy
to flow That was the first time ever
knew the news of a death to be re-
ceived in other than a spirit Of solem-
nifty There came to every person VINO
read of it the conviction that a life so
wasted was not a worlds, nor even a
neighborhoods loss Yet If we weigh
with Just scales the person who is un
happy except when surrounded by faces
and within sound of voices we must
concede that there is in him greater
kindness than is In his retiring broth
err. Weaker, he is more amiable.
DR. Dana says: Man needs social
, life as much as he needs air and food
but he does not say he needs 1t as con-
stantly as air nor as regularly as food.
The inference Is that he needs just
enough contact with other minds to
avoid morbidness, and not enough to
cause him to lean upon others for his
Ideas or his happiness
Not too close he warns, Should

croach and rob each other Of nourish-

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
FRANkNEss YOUR ONLY COURSE

FRANkNESS YOUR ONLY COURSE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am twenty and in love with a girl
of the same age. l am not engaged to
her, but hope to be engaged as soon as
my salary will permit. This young lady
tells other girls she cares a great deal
for me, but when I ask her to go to af-
fairs she always consents, but when we
get there she pays all her attention to
other men and forgets me. She treats
me fine when we are alone, and that is
why dislike to give her NJ, as it would
break my heart, and if would speak
to her it might hurt her feelings.
EMIL.
Don't put off a proposal till your SAL
airy permits. She has no knowledge of
your intentions and you haven't the
right of monopoly or criticism. In a
way, an engagement would give you
both. Ask her to marry you When
you have confessed a mutual love am
sure she will lose the desire to f1irt with

Dear Miss Fairfax:

two years ago I met young man two
years older. A year ago I was engaged
to him. but as he could not make a
living my mother was against him. so
we parted Now he wishes to return to
me. and I still love him A. B. c.
In the year that has elapsed has he
shown himself better able to make a
living? Has his conduct been such as
to lessen your mothers objections?
She knows best, remember always.
She is thinking solely of your interests.
Is he?

ment against your mothers wishes,
