His Private Opinion.

Spiffin and Mlfiln were friends. They were strolling along one sunny Sunday afternoon in the rear of their respective wives. when Spiffin, who was always something of a worTfer, broke the con- tented silence.
 Look here, old man." sad he. "1 know you say the most awfully nice things about me to my face. and I've no reason to believe you do anything else behind my back. But it backs n chap up to be criticised by his friends every now and then, you know"
 You want me to criticise you ?" asked Miffin, mildly sniiling the clear and frosty air.
 "I do,h answered Spiffin, throwing out his chest aud striking it impressively. 'It would do me all the good in the world"
 Miffin looked sideways at his friend. and then burst out:

in her hands. Ken was still Obvious
of all but. his own horror of himself.
Kitty began to sniffle dolefully.
"Have-have-you hsnd-ker-
chief?' she walled at last.
She sounded very young and forlorn
She looked very small and helpless.
Ken! Ken. I'm so frightened" she
sobbed
The boy looked up-his eyes were
still glazed and dull. He wanted to be
left alone with his dead pride
Kitty managed to peek through her
interlaced fingers. She began to sob
with intaken breath-with long, weary
eXhalations like a little lost child
| The boy heard her. A woman was
suffering because of him! He had
caused one human being anguish to-
day-his father His father! He list
ened to the girls sobs. This was what
he and his father had done between
! them! The men of the Nelson family
had hurt a woman-one of those men
would shoulder his responsibility
prove himself a man-and then.
Further than that the boy did not dare
look
He stood up rather wearily-and tried
to shake off the vision of all he had
been through. He felt dizzy. weak his
head whirled He moistened his dry
lips and tried to speak.
What is It, Kitty he asked In a
monotonous voice from far away.
"N-nothing,' walled Kitty dolefully,

He left the boy with bowed head
still resting on wide-fung arms. He
left his boy to his fate-and Kitty May.
Kitty stood alone in the middle of
the room. slowly tearing her handker-
chief to pieces. She looked weak-des-
by her own success.
Suddenly a muffled sob from Kenneth
penetrated her consciousness. She
turned her eyes to the boy. They were
inscrutabe pools of cobalt blue-no
sunlight, no ripple marked their smooth
surface Suddenly they darkened-and
a little forked tongue OF hatred lifted
its head.
She looked at the soft mass of torn
linen in her hand-she clenched that
hand over the filmv cobweb that had
been whole before her fingers began
their devastation. She cast the white
ball before her and set her cruel little
heel on It. She writhed about mo-
ment, digging the sharp leather into
the soft mass at her feet Then a cruel
smile began to trembel out and lift the
corners airily and then gabe them a
little staggering shake.
Her eyes turned to the figure at the
table, They frightened to points of light.
She was smiling very sweetly now
After all there was Kenneth And
she was not done with him yet,

little smile OF calculation on her face.

He loosed his hold on Kenneth's hand.
The boy staggered to his feet-stood
swaying for moment in weakness, like
that of delirium-and then CROPPED his
way to the great armchair by the
table.
He was like a swimmer spent by a
struggle for life in a stormy sea, from
whose engultng waters he had dragged
himself with life Pickering feebly.
MANY waters can not quench love-
but they can drown youth and hope and
happiness.
Kenneth stood in dazed wonder by
the great table Uttered with the
souvenirs OF youth and folly. There
were cigarettes in a case OF silver-his
fathers gift. There were gloves and
scarf OF English weave-bought from
the allowance his father had given him
and pipes and a silver key ring, and
