folly Of such a course as this woman
adopted, no one may gainsay. The ex-
perience Of ages has shown that balm
for an aching heart is never reached py
way of the bullet and that IL you but
stop to reason, with every despair a
new hope is born" and defeat is only
for him who ACKNOWLEDGES it.
No, my dear sister, not even in this
suffrage age. when the side-by side
with-man era seems to be the dominant
chord in the scale Of life. can the woman
take the initiative in the world of WOO
ing. 1t is mans prerogative since time
immemorial; and he must still take the
lead
There is something in the makeup Of
mortal man that precludes the tolerance
of being pursued. In short. he likes to
feel that HE is the pursuer, especially
in the realm Of Cupid. Oh. yes, as we
have been told by Bernard Shaw. she
may do HER share and even more than
her share In the promulgating Of plans
that lead to the altar; yet never dare
she give visible proofs that SHE Is the
leader. until the words: "Will your
have been spoken.
Man Just can't stand it:
rTis the wise woman indeed who real
izes this. Therefore, II, in the vernacu-
lar, some one "looks very good to you"
and you do not look the same to him,
you had better LET HIM GO. It does
but be honest with yourself and not
cling to magnified remnants of hope.
Wearing your heart out over him will
cot hfvn nd c0ndi-
tions he is moi, WORTH 1t.
No woman can be happy who loses
her self-respect, and that Is what she
must do II she forever tags after him" "
FOR HEARTSTRINGs AND NOT
APRON STRINGS ARE THE TIES
THAT BIND.
The sooner a woman realizes that,
so much sooner will she save herself
suffering.
1t is better to cultivate the spirit,
What care 1 how fair he be. If he be
not fair for me" For, after all, it
is true that There are as good fish
in the sea as ever were caught" And
the benefcent creator VINO made the
mold of man did not destroy 1t, but
fashioned many men VERY MUCH
ALIKE.
Every place can be filled. The ship
of life is well manned. Tomorrow, or
next week. or next month. you may
meet ANOTH ER, whose attractions
may be just as engrossing. though per-
chance different. To center all hope in
one. IL he isn't THE one. is the height
of folly. and brings nothing but tears
and disappointment
The fittest always survives. He who
does not fill the bill should be left to
go his way in peace. There are others.

that was on the outside; and Harvard
could hear the mufrled sounds Of Rush

The bell did not ring second time.
There had been only that one peal of
| it, then silence. He wondered II II
would ring again, and waited for the
| clang OF It, trying 70 decide IN the
meantime what 70 do in case 1t should.
Then entirely different sounds came to
him from below-sounds made by the
opening and closing of a door, the voices
of men conversing in low and guarded
| tones, the heavy tread of feet upon the
stairs.
In that instant Of revelation the Night
| Wind grasped and understood the stu
ation; all but that part of it which con-
cerned the ringing Of the doorbell.
But he grasped at once the fact that
Rushton had seen him waiting in the
shadow down at headquarters, had set a
| trap for him, and had baiteG II by pur-
posely leading him that long walk up
| town.
Was he trapped? he wondered. Did
those men know that he was already
| there?
Already one of them had reached
the landing of the first flight of stairs,
and had made the turn. There was no
time for the Night Wind to seek a
way out Of his difficulty. II he acted
at all, It must be at once, and entire
ly without plan or reason.
The man in the lead paused in the
hallway just below and. spoke in a low
tone to the others. and the Night
Wind recognized the voice of Coniglio.
He had never heard it but once be-
fore-that night at Chester's house
but he remembered it.
We're in time. after all" was what
he said. They haven't got here yet"
Coniglio's foot was upon the first
stair Of the last flight before the
Night Wind made a move. Then. and
not till then, he drew back and passed
hastily into the room at the rear Of
the house, which was dark.
He closed the door softly after. him,
found a key in the lock, turned it
quickly and silently, crossed to the
two windows, both Of which were
raised to their full extent. and looked
out upon a confusion Of backyards
from that third-story height.
Somebody in the hall tried the lock-
ed door even as he slung one of his
legs across the window sill. He heard
louder voices than before proceeding
from the front room as he lifted him

his body outside of 1t. clineing with
his fingers to the stone sill across

a generation or more ago, when outside
blinds were preferred to protect the

"And last year they wrote they

a STORY was repeated to me the
~ other day. A friend of mine
n was in Canada with a fishing
party. and one member of the
party was imprudent enough to sample
some whisky that was called squirrel
whisky because it made those who drank
it inclined to climb a tree. This gentle
man imbibed too much of this dangerous
liquid, and the consequence was that
when he welt TO the train to go with the
rest of the company he took train
bound south instead OF a train bound
north. Wishing to recover him, his
companions telegraphed the conductor
Of the southbound train, Send short
man named johnson back for the north

emily they got a reply from the conduc-
tor. Further particulars needed. There
are thirteen men on the train who don't
know either their name or their desti-
nation."-
A man got IN cab at the Richmond

[ could not but think, as a distin-
guished toastmaster was handing out to
the speakers of the evening suggestions
not overfull of comfort, but containing
something of the acid of the lemon, of
a story told by Judge Rowland at a
banquet that j had the honor of at
tending. We had a toastmaster who
was even more of 'roastmaSter' than
this one.
The Judge rose, after being skinned
by his introducer. to say that he had
no complaint to make; that his intro
duction reminded him of the story Of
the tenderfoot who went into a saloon
in Nevada and sat with another person
behind a game of poker. He saw the
dealer deal from the bottom of the pack
four aces and take them up and play
them. He nudged his neighbor. who
was looking at him, and said:
Did you see that?'
The man said, See what?''
why" said he, that man dealt
himself four aces from the bottom of
the pack"
His neighbor turned to him and
said: Well it's his deal. isn't it?''
So you see there is some advantage in
being a toastmaster.
Ny father used to tell of an old gen.
tlemanE who loaned his coat to another
man and said to him as he went away:
Don't swear while You wear that
coat"
He went away and came back after
two or three hours and the owner of the
coat asked him whether he had sworn.
He said: mo, I have not sworn, but
never felt SO much like lying in my
life"
County Tipperary always recalls
story that was told to me by a lord JUS
tice of the court of appeals in Ireland.
He said he was holding the assizes in
County Tipperary when a man was
brought before him under indictment
for manslaughter. The evidence showed
that the deceased had come to his death
by reason of a blow from a blackthorn
stick in the hands of the defendant.
The jury found the defendant guilty.
An examination by the physicians dis
closed the fact that the man had what,
in medical parlance. is called a paper
skull"
The defendant was brought before his
lordship for sentence and asked IL he
knew of any reason why the sentence
of the court should not be pronounced
upon him. The defendant said:
No. your lordship. but l would like
10 ask one question
What is II. my manT
ct would like TO ask what the divvil
a man with a head like that was doing
in Tipperary?'
