Breakwater did not suggest her, nor

first ideal was beginning to fade.
He left Osdene Park on protest and
returned the same night to London,
and all the way back to town tried to
register In his mind, unused to analy-

of Breakwater on this last visit.
He had experienced his first dis
appointment in the sex, and this dis
appointment had been of an unusual
kind. It was not that he had been
turned down or given the mitten. but
he had seen one woman turn another
down. A woman had been mean, so
he put 1t, and the fact that the Ouch
ess of Breakwater had refused to
lend moral hand to the singer at
the Gaiety hurt Dams feelings. Then,
as soon as his enthusiasm had Gained,
he saw what stupid ass he had been.
A duchess couldn't mix up with a
comic opera singer, of course. Still,
he unused, "she might have been q lit
tie nicer about it."
The education his father had given
him about them was put to the test

many tete-a-tetes and of more fervent
kisses which scored good deal in the
favor of Dams first woman. The Ouch

with Dams unfinished education, and

that he was in honor bound to see the

NATION SAVED BY A SPIDER
Scotland Proflted by tho Lesson the
Insect Taught to Its
Monarch.

Scotland has many legends that the
sheepherders and highland peasants
never get tired repeating. A long time
ago King Bruce ruled over Scotland
before that country became a part OF
england, and he learned a lesson from
spider that enabled him to succeed
when otherwise he would have failed.
King Bruce had lost many battles.
He was discouraged. He had made
his final effort against his enemies
and failed to vanquish them. Deep in
despair he went to lonely room In
mis- castle. Reclining on the couch
and thinking, he happened to notice
spider drop from the ceiling on a
single silken cord. He watched the
spider fascinatingly. 1t now began its
ascent. 1t slipped. Time and time
again it tried to mount, but each time
1t failed. The king watched intently.
forgetful of all else. An hour passed.
Finally the spider succeeded. 1t was
an inspiration for King Bruce. Why
should he get discouraged, having
tried only few times and failed? He
made one last grand rally against his
enemies and routed them, and from
this incident came the old saying, IF
at first you don't succeed try again"

Disappointment.

Ian Blair had not been back of the
scenes at the Gaiety since his first
call on the singer. Indeed. though he
had told the duchess he pitied Miss
Lane, he had not been able to APP
proach her very closely, even In his
own thoughts. When she first APP
peared on his horizon his mind was
full of the Duchess of Breakwater. and
the singer had only lowered round his
more profound feelings for another
woman. But Lefty Lane was an at
mosphere in Dams mind which he was
not yet able to understand. There was
SO little left that was connected with
his old home, certainly nothing in the
British Isles. excepting Ruggles. and
to the young man everything from
America had its value. Decidedly the

FROM THE EDITOR.
He Forgot That He Had a Stomach

Talking Of food, there is probably
no professional man subjected to a
greater, more wearing mental strain
than the responsible editor of
modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-

editor must keep his physical powers
up to the highest rate of efficiency
Nothing will so quickly upset the

simulated, and which furnishes true
brain nourishment.
