SONNET OF PARTING.

Since this is so, come let US kiss and
part
Nay, I have done-you get no more
of me.
And l am glad-aye, glad with all
my heart
That thus so cleanly ] myself can
free.
Shake hands forever, cancel all our
VOWS.
And if at any time we meet again,
BE it not seen in either of our
brOws
That we one jot of former love retain.
Now, at the last grasp of Loves
latest breath
When, his pulse falling, Passion
speechless lies.
When Faith is kneeling by the bed
of death,
And Innocence is closing up his eyes,
Now at the last, when all have
given him over.
From death to life thou mightst him
yet recover.

But Stella Archer is no mere

She couldn't be no better wife II she

This lecturer says that in order to be
a perfect wife and mother, one should

Of the great lovers in history that l

be startled into making a violent

CHAPTER I

-
TARY DANIFORTH sighed in
Nj WEAKNESS and annoyance as
the crowded subway car
came to a standstill with a violent
jolt and jar. The man next to her ut
tered an unintelligible exclamation
and glanced at her angrily. The girl
knew that she had trodden on his foot,
nut she did not venture an apology.
she released her hold on the strap
long enough to take a handkerchief
from her handbag and wipe her
damp face. The train was disagree
ably warm. 1t was the afternoon
rush hour and the car was packed 10
Its utmost capacity. The air was
dead, and ii nauseated the girl slight
~. The strong odor of perspiring hu-
manity assailed her nostrils, and the
whirling fans on the ceiling only
served to beat the overcharRed at
arm was numb from clinking to tho
support above her, while her lief;
ached with the weight Of the books
she carried.
Everything Wrong.
The express started again with a
sudden jerk, and she was flung again
against the man behind her. This
time she heard only too plainly what
he said, but she pretended not to hear
She was too tired to feel resentment.
Even in the high, well-ventilated
schoolroom the atmosphere had been
humid.
This was surely one of those Gays
in which everything goes wrong,
unused the girl. Twice she had been
reprimanded for inattention. She had
botched a recitation in mathematics,
usually her easiest subject. She was
worn and irritable, and remembered
with a sinking heart that there would
be no respite for her tomorrow
Monthly examinations were due and
these meant examining far into the
night. Once more she sighed and
shifted her load Of books from one
arm to the other. Nothing in the
world seemed cheering or encourage
ing. She was unhappy and half sick.
The express. roaring along between
stations, was gradually overtaking a
local train. The slower cars were,
for a minute, even with the express,
and Mary gazed absent -mindedly
through the windows of the car
speeding along scarcely four feet
away. A young, fresh-faced man In
a gray suit and SLOUGH hat stood In
the aisle of the local. His eyes met
the girls eyes, and he smiled in frank
amusements at the encounter. The
girl was suddenly aware of the look,
but she did not smile in return, yet
> she forgot for a second that she was
uncomfortably warm, and that her
books were heavy.
Suddenly she started and leaned
closer toward the window through
which she was gazing at the local
passengers. The man caught her eye
again, and smiled cheerfully, then his
look changed to one of bewilderment
as the girl in the express made a
warning, frightened gesture. She
was a queer creature, he decided
and, although he still smiled, he
