l send him Immediately an answer to this
wireless of his, in which | set down my foot
quite as firmly as he does his. If Victor
marries this girl, not another cent does he get
from me; and at my death the Cobb millions
all go, in a tight, hard will that he can't break
for the Home for Incurab1e What-do-you
call ems, or anything else-I don't care. Do
you think l am right, my dear?"
"Yes,' l answered enthusiastically; for |
love to see people firm, even when don't
agree with them. And in this case | did
agree with Mrs. Cobb. That silly Victor,
mixing up his love affairs with his marriage
in just the same impractical way that they
do in England! In the back of my head an
idea was forming itself-just the ghost, the
shadow, of an idea.
"Then have the approval of the Duchess
niece?' said Mrs. Cobb with magnificent
air. @I'm sure | cannot be very far wrong
Will you be SO very kind, dear Mademoiselle
as to touch that little button in the wall be-
side you? And will write my wireless to my
darling boy, telling him he will be cut off
without cent?

the same despairing tone that Aunt Eliza
beth used to use when she spoke of her chill
dren not marrying:
"When think of Victor throwing himself
away like that he with all his advantages,
so handsome. such real little swell from the
first! Why, | counted on him. with all the
Cobb millions, to make a really big marriage
"a real splash. Why, l count on Victor, on
my beautiful boy, to land me in the inner
circle of society,""
Crac! the truth was out, like an eel out of
a bag. 1t was not one alone, but both the
darling passions of Mrs. Cobb's heart that
were at stake. Victor's marriage was to
raise not only himself but his mother as
well. No wonder she looked anxious, and
bit her lace handkerchief to bits as she went
on dramatically:
as this to be allowed? No! Now the
time is come when l play my last card.
Heaven knows how just hate to do it; but
l must save my baby-boy from himself.
Fortunately, his Papa left me sole heiress of
all his estate Knowing the boys ardent
disposition, Mr.. Cobb left him dependent on
me for every cent. So now have decided.

BY HAPSBURG LIEBE
WHAT DO YOU DO

X/HAT do you do when you feel that
you're weed in the garden of life,
when you bleed at the heart and it won't
stop, and the candle seems guttered and
burned down and to threaten any moment
to lick its little flame into the darkness and
die
When you realize that you have no friends,
and have never had any friends, and that
there have never been any friends except for
gain since the world began
When you are tired in soul and heart and
mind of the ever recurring visions of the
yesterdays because you know they will come
again and again on the morrows until you
are put in all of this earth that you can truly
call yours forever-the grave
When you know each heartbeat is fuller
of the essence of death than the last, and
that each breath is breath nearer to the
oblivion that greets the end of the children
of men,
When you remember that nothing ever
lasting has ever been, and that no flower has
ever bloomed nor man nor animal nor plant
ever lived but to die
When you remember that the world is one
monster sepulcher filled with dead and dying
things, puny things born in death and living
in death and dying in DEATH
When at last the terrible, terrible black
ness of the truth smites you in the face, that
you have no absolute proof that there is a
hereafter or soul or a spirit, or that man
lives in any form after this little Pickering
flame of a life in this Sorrowful Vale,-
When you recall the fact that it is human
nature to fear, because fear is born in man
and shall ever be born in man, and you fear
that even your religion is inspired by this
Unborn fear and superstition and feeling of
helplessness in the Night of Mystery
When the mighty truth confronts you that
the sins every man sins can never die, but
live to strike out with hundred times the
strength you gave them, and that sins only
end is DEATH
What do you do?
ANswER.-See a doctor: your sick!

and Jessel carried her back to her little bed
room over the library.
THAT night, when all within the gray stone
: house on the cliff, except Krayne himself,
lay asleep, even at the height of the maniacal
storm there came deafening crash, roar,
a sound of rending timbers, a quivering
shock. Krayne leaped from his bed; his door
was flung open; the wild wind of the open
heavens charged down upon him. The blue
blaze of the retreating lightning flickered full
and free before him from the room where his
little daughter lay awake and terrified, her
bed on the brink of yawning abyss. The
wall of the room had fallen out into the
night, into the sea, parting at the fissure
made months before. Krayne, clutching
Rose to him and calling to Jessel, ran down
the broken, shaking stairs. The front wall
of the library was also gone. Part of the
face of the cliff had crumbled away, and the
entire front wall had followed it.
With it went the vase-and thus was the
wish of Stella Krayne at last fulfilled. The
sea and the winds had been denied their due;
so the sea and the winds had come to take
their own.

THE ROSE IN THE ASHES

over the balcony! A slip and you would
have dropped it into the seal
"I was only going to throw the earth and
dead rosebush away" said Jessel simply.
He shuddered, but said nothing, and both
stood silent.
Even as they stood the clouds came up,
the air became filled with sultry murk, the
sea lashed and strained against the shore, a
flying scud filled the heavens.
ats going to storm, said Jessel at length.
Her prophecies of the weather were al
ways marvelously true. She had studied the
faces of the skies and waters since she was a
child.
They entered the library. Krayne's eyes
rested upon the two great cracks in the wall.
Was it only fancy, or were they really widen
ing?
II must send Bristowe, the contractor, to
repair these walls, said Krayne.
"Well, better rift in the house than rift
in the household, said Jessel, looking at him
curiously and archly.
He laughed, and felt there was health in his
laughter once more.
IN the evening the two sat about the great
lamp in the library. The storm had
lowered and swollen into hurricane and
roared like battle The sea and the wind
clamored and writhed like delirious things.
Krayne, glancing at the windows, saw the
dazzling fissures of the lightnings splitting
the skies. Then his half blinded eyes wan
dered to the strange black cracks down his
library walls, then to Jessel. She was nod
ding over her sewing, healthy slurnber
upon her after the work of the day. What
health, what hope, what happiness, was in
her! And he-it was to him as if the air and
floods were again hungering for the ashes as
If they were threatening him with death and
destruction. Was it right that he should
keep the ashes now? Was it right that he
should enjoy the luxury of these memories
and his peculiar grief with his great new
found happiness? 1t was not rght-he vio-
lated the faith of the living woman and the
dead! This very night he would tell her!
The very next day they would both fulfil
Stella's desire!
Suddenly Jessel awoke, listened intently,
then started up. Vincent she cried, @do
you hear it?'
"What?' asked Krayne, vague terror
upon him.
"A steamer a steamer in Distress" she re-
Piled, "whistling for help. l ought to 60
down to the beach, to Father 's-they may
need me-
Krayne heard and said nothing. Jessel
stood uncertain for a moment. She was de-
batting something within herself as she stood
between the lamp and the window, half her
superb figure lit up by the blue lightning
glare, the other half by the mellow domestic
lamplight The wife, the fostermother was
there, mild and loving and subdued; but
there was also the other half of her nature
revealed, wild and elemental, longing to
brave danger with the men and be abroad in
the storm. But, as she turned to look at
Vincent, the fierce light left her eyes and she
remembered her new duties must keep her
from the old. That moment man and wife
heard the voice of Rose, and in she ran, bare
footed, in her white nightdress, weeping in
terror and calling out:
Something's coming Something's com
ing
She launched herself into Jessel's arms
