Self Consciousness

seriousness which affliCts those who
are so independent in their individ-
uality as to be in danger Of rudeness;
those who are too vehement in voice
and gesture, brusque and abrupt in
manner. They forget that the world
is never convinced that any one is
superior who assumes loud ag
gressive, uncivll manner. Willful
salf-consciousness OF that sort Is
more to be pitied than dihdent, anx-
ious shyness, and is sure To make a
more uufavorable impression.
Consciousness of ones dress is bad
form. Not only the vanity which
thinks of display or ostentation
should be avoided, but the careless
ness which disregards the little nice
ties of toilet and then causes a guilty
self-cunsCiousness which breads de-
lection.

HAS GONE BEFORE.

The scene of the story is laid in
the Vanderlip Hotel, New York
City The Princess Maria Theresa
Of Segura, a beautiful Spanish
woman, is suddenly awakened in
her suite by the sound of pistol
shots. She hears a man running
down the hall. He crashes against
her door breaking the lock, and
enters. She sees he is a tall, good
looking young man, dressed in
evening clothes. He is carrying a
revolver in his right hand, and
blood is dripping from a wound in
his left. He begs the Princess to
hide him. She, moved by some in
describable impulse, decides that
she will. She directs him to an
inner room, and a few minutes
later, when the hotel detective
knocks on the door, she tells him
she is al right and sends him
away. The young man, who is
Warren Jarvis, of Kentucky, comes
out Of his hiding place, and the
Princess, for the first time, notices
his wound. She is moved to SYM
pathy and showers him with dues-
lions as TO what has occurred. Jar
Wis tells her about a Kentucky
feud between his family and an
other named Markham. He saws
he left Kentucky to avoid the feud-
lists, but encountered one Of them
in the hotel which explains the
shots. The Princess declares she
viii help him, and then asks the
stranger question, Are you afraid
Of ghosts?" Jarvis laughs, but
grows solemn when the Princess
tells him she has dangerous work
for him to do. She makes him
swear allegiance. and creates him
her ''vassaL" Then she tells him
to get her trunk, which is going
to be shipped to a steamship on
which she sails to Spain the fol-
lowing day. First Jarvis tells her
TO telephone to his servant, Rusty
Snow, negro. The servant is in
structed to procure passage for
himself and Jarvis in the ship.
Jarvis then prepares to get into
the trunk, but first begins 70 Ques-
ton the Princess about herself.
Now go on with the story.

TO-DAY'S TNSTALLMENT.

AS the latch Of the closing door
clicked the lid of the trunk lifted a few
inches, as if the two occurrences had
had a common impulse. Assured that
he was alone, Jarvis pushed the lid all
the way back and slowly sat upright
in the bottom OF the trunk The ex-
treme caution of his movements was
not so mueh due to the fear OF being
overheard as to the conviction that the
long pounding he had undergone had
rendered him brittle, and that a sudden
movement would inevitably break a
piece OF him off somewhere
"Oh, Lord" he calculated feebly but
earnestly when he had at last gained an
upright position. He sat, squirming
slightly. for a few moments, as If ac-
customing himself to the new posture,
and then with infinite caution extracit-
ed a cigarette case and matches from
his trousers pocket and lit a cigarette,
the achievement OF which caused num-
berless suppressed but sincere grodns.
oh" he growled ''if I only had that
last baggage man here"
At last, with infinite pains-this being
a defensible pun-he got out OF the
trunk and Strengthened himself to his
fun length.
well, I'm all here" he decided, look
ing himself over with feeble satisfac-
ton This movement caused a fresh
kink to develop in the back Of his neck.
Most alll' he hastily corrected himself.
He hobbled to a pier glass and surveyed
the reflection with doleful mutteriugs.
But this was his last concession to
physical discomfort. He had a lot to
do and very short time in which to
do it. His first necessity was to find
out where his own stateroom might be
and bring Rusty to his aid. A little wall
telephone hung by the mirror and in
half minute he heard Rustys deep mel
low wheeze. the most grateful sound
that had reached his ears in hours. He
ordered Rusty to repair forthwith to
Stateroom "A" on the promenade deck
with a topcoat and a hat, his own having
been carried of by the faithful servi-
tor in the bundles that he took from
the Princess suite in the hotel.
IF Rusty gets here before that ex-
allied cousin returns I'll be all right" 10
reflected with satisfaction, as he hung
up the receiver. Il wonder what the
game is? Sounds like a real romance.

There came a knock at the door to in

UXKTHocMi L. God hath sn Joined join s. tose,h
In the last twenty years
more than ONE MIL
LION divorces have been granted in this
country alone. An average OF FIFTY
THOUSAND each year. Seventy three
divorces for every hundred thousand
people To have and to hold till death
do us part"
Two women to one man Of these fifty
thousand break this vow. The man prin-
cipally charges adultery. The woman
rests hers on cruelty. Desertion is the
common ground. Numberless reasons
are given by these unhappy people, and
they catch at reason as a drowning
man grasps at straw.
Temperamental incompatibility would
tell the story Two hearts that are sup
posed to beat as one "jangle like sweet
bells out of tune"
There is no law on earth, there are
no words Of magistrate or minister.
priest or prelate. which can compel a
man TO love his wife or to enjoy her
society.
Neither is there legal force that can
make woman respect her husband or
find pleasure in his presence. 1t is the
shame of manhood that It is possible. to
become a bride
In modern marriage all the primitive
traits Of the cave-men period appear.
Aeon upon aeon of evolution, age upon
age OF cultivation, and even the soften
ing influence of Christianity have failed
to eliminate the brute in the male, or
the feline in the female In wild pas
sion Of anger modern man. like his cave
ancestor, handles his spouse
The passions Of rage, Jealousy. sus-
picion, temper and violence burst like
pillows over the rocks of civilization and
culture. and the man. clad in modern
raiment, Is the brother to the uncouth
savage clothed in skins.
Cruelty Pays Part.
Cruelty plays a large part in divorce.
Twenty-seven men in every hundred
have been intolerably cruel to their
wives. The gentler Sc has better
record. for only ten in one hundred are
Amazons who have beaten up" their
man.

She guards against the least untidi-

Neglect Of these things is a fault not

He pointed to the trunk. He was
enjoying himself for a change.
1T wasn't my idea" he reminded
her. But his wicked little triumph was
nipped by her plucky candor
Yes she said, looking directly at
him. 81 think he does"
Jarvis was instantly contrite and
showed it in his own way.
You are afraid Of him." he said
gently and with feeling. "Why?"
HE is very powerful" was the low
answer with the eyes averted now,
"and-and ! may be driven into his
hands"

pressed it, was instantly sore" at that
exalted cousin.
you mean-you might be forced to
marry him?" he demanded

glance at the door 'Yes-if-if you
fail"
Even Rusty, in the trunk. heard his
master gasp above his own wheeling
and groauing.

a dazed sort of way. He ran his hand

with hearty emphasis. From what /
overheard there is something queer
about your castle. You forget am
completely in the dark. Oh, Just a
minute, please ! forgot something"
He went over and released Rusty
from durance. The old servant was
dismissed. wondering what Marse War
rem and Mrs. Princess found amusing
in the situation.
EGO to my stateroom and lock your
self in" Jarvis ordered impressively
And don't talk 10 any one. Under
stand, Rusty? You are deaf and dumb
until ! tell you to speak"
"The police can't be on board now"
said Dona Maria, divining the reason
for these orders. We're out Of the
harbor.'
He shook his head uneasily. you
can't tell until you see who goes ashore
with the pilot. They may be working
on Rusty as a clew. But it won't lead
to anything as long as they can't con-
meet him with me. Wen take no

line. Now, let's get down to business
As ! understand it, you are taking me

The Princess looked troubled and did
not reply at once.

said, with some hesitation. "It Will

Divorce has come TO be more than an

Statistics show an appalling condition
Twenty eight wives In one hundred
divorces have lost their wifely honor

have disguised a long suffering public

Marriage is besides being a divine in

party Of the first part and the party Of
the second part promise and agree to do
certain specified things and to refrain
from doing certain other things which
are reasonable in a contract. A within or
