the man she loved.
She tore Andrews letter into frag.

answer. In it she said that they must
never meet again. She acknowledged
her own love for him, but-but-
She could not finish that letter. She
tore it in pieces also.
Then a wild idea came into her
head, born, perhaps, of the delirium
through which she had passed. She
took her pen again and wrote him az
effusive. foolish letter such as must

Dear friend of mine,
Your letter is no surprise to me.
J.. too, love you. o, the sacredness
and mystery of such sublime love as
ours! l have been waiting ever
since l saw you for you to tell me
that you were not Indifferent to me-

No one could imagine what it cost
Esther in self-respect to write that
letter. And when 1t was written she
sent the landlady's daughter out to
mail 1t, lest she should be compelled
to recall it.
1t was the memory of little Mrs.
Andrews that enabled her to accom-
plish her task. And when she had
finished great peace came into her
heart. She knew now that 1t was ir.
reparable. that never again need she
see Andrews, that he would seek. and
perhaps find in his wife's love those
qualities which he had discovered in
her.
On the following evening a letter
was received by her in answer. In 1t
Andrews said briefly that he was sail
ing for Europe with his wife, upon a
three months holiday. He enclosed
her check for her salary during that
period and regretted that there would
be no further need for her services.
Esther tore up the check as she de-
stroyed Andrews's letter. Then she
sent out for newspaper and studied
the advertisements for female help

WOMAN OF HONOR
BY MAY ENDIcOTT.

"My wife," said John Andrews to
his stenographer, lis a good woman,
and 1t would break her heart to real
ize what l have long since realized
that we we're never meant for each
other"
Esther Sinclair made no reply, but
bent over her notes. Only the height
ened color in her face revealed her
emotion.
\ She did not like to hear her employ
er speak slightingly of the pretty, SIM
pie little woman who had once come
into his office, spoken kindly to her.
and chattered in her irresponsible
way until 1t was time for her husband
to take her home. Yet, after ALL Es-
ther had long ago realized that there
could be little in common between her
and Andrews, whose forceful personal
fty demanded that sympathetic under
standing which it was not Mildred An
drew's to give.
They two had been associated to-
gether in Andrews work for nearly
six months. She had liked him in
stinctively the moment she set eyes
on him. and he had singled her out
from among host OF applicants, ap-
parently without n moments hesita-
ton. He trusted in her completely in
her share Of the difficult work which
he performed as secretary to the chem
ical company.
But her woman's instinct had surely
told her, during recent weeks, that
something more than esteem was
growing up between them. This was
the first occasion on which Andrews
had ever limited at domestic unhappi-
ness. She knew the depth and inten-
sity OF his nature.
She went home to pass an almost
Eleepless night. She reviewed all her
past. She was already thirty years of
age; no love worthy of the name had
ever come into her life. And she could
not hide from herself the knowledge
that Andrews and she were made for
one another. She could give him such

devotion as was his need, IL once she
let herself dwell upon the image Of him
that was enshrined In her heart.
She fought against this awakening
love. Day after day found her on her
guard, lest by chance word, even
q look, she should betray herself. And
so the days passed.
1t happened at last, though. The
struggle was an intense one. She
had not realized how 1t had depleted
her of her strength. She had fought,
fought, in the hope Of being able to
retain her position there, and the in
evitable reaction came. Rising to go
home one evening. she suddenly fell
. to the floor in a dead faint created by
utter nervous exhaustion.
And when consciousness came back
to her she found herself seated In a
chair and Andrews bending over her.
and his lips were pressed to hers, and
his hands clasped hers tightly; and
she, too weak to resist, lay there pass
lively in his arms.
At last she gathered strength to
rise. She stood up; she looked at
him and he at her. Both realized the
tragic nature OF the passion that had
come into their lives. Neither spoke,
for there was nothing to say.
Goodnight, Mr.. Andrews" she
said at last. moving with an effort to-
ward the door.
He bowed his head and she went
home. Not to rest, though. All night
she lay in q fever, and In the morn
ing she was flushed and delirious, and
for many days thereafter unconscious
Of realities.
Andrews had left flowers for her ev-
cry day, and once. after she began to
mend, little Mrs. Andrews called on
her and spoke of how much her hus-
band valued her and OF the gap that
her illness had created in his work.
When the little woman had gone
+ Esther vowed that the past should
be forgotten.
But this was not to be. A letter
--came from Andrews. full of passion
ate love. He must see her. he said.
Life without her had become unbear-
able. Their lives must lie together;
and II she tried to escape him he
would follow her to the ends OF the
earth, II necessary, to find her and
claim her.
Esther read the letter thoughtfully,
and once again the memory OF her
love for him wss strong within her.

Tea From Coffee Leaves.

Tea, as everybody knows, is made
from leaves. while coffee is derived
from berries or beans. Just here is
where something has been overlooked.
in the opinion OF scientific investi-
gator. The leaves of the coffee plant
are not only available for making a
beverage, but they possess properties
which make them more valuable than
the coffee beans.
In appearance and fragrance the
dried coffee leaves very much resem-
BILE those of the tea plant. An infu-
sion Of them being made, just as in
the case of ordinary tea, an aromatic
beverage is produced that is bitter to
the taste. but not disagreeably SO, and
which contains almost as much theme
as real tea, while there is a much
smaller proportion of tannin.
1t may yet be possible to grow tea
and coffee on the same plant.

Can Get Along Without Eggs.

If IL were not for the widespread
belief that eggs cannot be dispensed
with as an article of diet, we should
never have heard OF the 100000 men,
bers OF the Housewives league engag-
ing in "a 30-cent egg war" But the
belief is not altogether we'll founded.
Eggs are highly useful. beneficial. nu-
tritious, but not indispensable.
But eggs are popular because they
are easily prepared. 1t is less work
and 1t takes less time to boil an egg
than to broil steak for breakfast. In
that simple fact may lie an explana-
tion of the great demand for eggs and
of the ensuing excitement when prices
rise.
