on the woman's shoulder.
Then she moved, rose to her feet and
turned up to him vague eyes and n
face 30 beautiful that he started. And
the start set his strange trembling
going afresh. But this time there was
pity in the tremor, for he saw that the
beautiful face was as white as death,
sad, weary worn and 40 fragile that
his instructive thought of her was as
of white lily cast out In the snow.

For a moment Roland was dumb.
"Druscilla Ives!" he said presently.

prophecy outside the hall where she

Roland felt strangely uncomfortable
and yet gently pitiful. 1t was curious
that after the long passing Of a CEN
tury he should be the first to come into
contact with descendant Of the fate
full Ives.
But why?' he asked again, impress

"I don't know" she returned weak

As she spoke she slipped from the
trunk of the thorn and would have
fallen backward in the snow, but with
a quick step Roland caught and support

As she lay against him rather than
stood, with her face fallen on his shoul'

icy cold. ".. ..
Poor girl" he said, feeling her mis-
cry in himself, "you must not stay

Then quickly he lifted her in his

guests were left to grope their
way out as best they could.

PIPES TELL OF THE MAN.

PARIS, Jan. 8.-There recent
ly appeared in one of the Paris
newspapers some amusing axioms
of M. VAUDEVILLE, who has devoted
many years to the formation of
collection of pipes of all ma
tionalities. VAUDEVILLE declares
that while cigars and cigarettes
are cosmopolitan, pipes show by
their peculiarities the character
istics of the race which smokes
them.
The activity of a race. says M.
Watteville,' is proportionate to
the length of the stem of the pipe
which 1t smokes. The longer the
stem is, the Iazier are the people
who smoke it. and, inversely, the.
hardest workers smoke the short
est pipes. Big pipe bowls denote
generosity, small pipe bowls prove
economy.
