him with wide eyes, the glow of the fire

Then: What are you-what do you
mean?" The words were scarcely whis-
pered; but the man looking down into
her eyes that held no recognition heard
them, -breathed as they were The
fact that she failed to recognize him
either by voice or look for the moment
outweighed the surprise of her presence
there in that isolated cottage on the
moor.
IT'S I-Jack Don't you recognize me,
Betty? Is it possible
Jack" There was more than in
credulity in the girls voice and eyes;
there was a creeping horror. "Oh, it isn't
possible-it isn't possible!'
For the moment she stood looking at
this wreck of a man before her. gaunt
and wolfish- looking, with the shaver head
and the motley of a clown, and a face
that was channeled with deep lines of
pain. Then, as though reconecting her
self by an effort, she drew him with her
inside the shelter of the kitchen and,
closing the door behind her, shot the
heavy bolt in place and drew the shut
tiers across the window before she turned
10 him again.

Advice to the
Lovelorn
Bv BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

WHY NO BECOME ENOAGEO1
Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am nineteen and have been go
ing with a young man of the same
age for nearly one year. a week or
so ago a girl wrote you asking
whether or not she should let her
friend kiss her, she having refused
him. You replied. stating she vas
a very sensible girl and the young
man had no respect for her, Now,
this made me feel rather badly, as l
let my young man kiss me, and last
Sunday I thought I wouldn't just to
sec what he would say. Now, he
got real angry over it, and after l
had told him of the letter in your
column, he said if he didn't respect
me he wouldn't call to see me. Now,
I like him very much and | wouldn't
want to get mad over it, as we
have never quarreled before. Please
advise me if you think he respects
me or not. We are not engaged,
but my folks approve of him.
DOTTY D.
You like each other; your parents
approve. Then why not an engage
nent? That would give him and OPP
lortunity presented, and 1 have nc
loubt he will see to it that they are
many. It would be better for you, and
you, my dear, are the one to be con-
;idered.

ment, and punishment fare of bread and
water-perhaps worse He could not go
back. For the first time since the blight
had descended on his life, Rimugton
faced the fact that there was one alter
native to going back. SO far his life was
his .own--to take up aagin or fling away
as a burden too heavy TO be borne.
He knew what was happening
every available man was out securing the
gulleys and plantations, guarding the
road and the bridges and the stations
lie knew how every able bodied inhab-
liant of the district was converted into
a police spy by hope of the reward the

"a must have been mad" he told him
self. mad to have put my head into such
a moose" Yet in his heart he knew that
1t was madness which, given the same
chance and the same odds tomorrow, he
would have been powerless to resist
He watched the sun-it was his only
means of checking time; had it ever
moved so slowly westward? Would the
afternoon never come? And after the
afternoon the long hours of semi-twilight
He fell to grubbng up the frozen grass
and chewing 1t. but it was dry hay be-
meath the rime of the frost.
sleep came over him Tesistlessly; sleep,
IL was an enemy to be dreaded and
fought against madly as snow drowsi-
ness; sleep, that became a temptation,
that assumed the guse Of a hundred de-
sired things-that. when in sheer weak
ness he succumbed to it, head nodding
to his hunched- up knees, stripped Of its
shining veil and showed him masque
of demons dancing a dance of death,
plunged him as a central figure into a
phantasma goria of horror from which he
would start awake. shivering still, with
the dews terror beating his brow.
So crouchlng and doing and starting
awake in blind fear, he past the year-loug
hours till night fell-night when the fur
move, hunt and prey.
And what could he expect of help or
solace from the darkness?
Slowly with aching limbs, whose move
ment was a torment, RiminEton rose and
limped on. Instinctvely he turned in the
opposite direction from the shoulder Of
the land that. as he imagined, hid the
prison from him. He had no sense of
destination now. no formulated plan,
nothing hut blind hope of stumbling
against a place where he might shelter
from the intense cold and find food.
Warmth and food-these were now the
imperative necessities for him, not safety.

A MATTER OF FORM.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am eighteen and in love with
a man of twenty-one. I love him
and he loves me. Do you think we
are engaged. or not until the ring
is on the finger? w L.
You are engaged when he asks you
to marry him, and you accept. The
ring is only a symbol, and is not nee
essary. There have been many happy
engagements and marriages without it.
But if the man has the true knightly
spirit, he will get a ring and get 1t
promptly.
