men; she was tied down to her in
valid mother, and hardly left the
house, except for shopping. And so
Frank had no rivals.
Some women are like Lucy; when
they love, nothing can upset their
faith in their lovers instructive good
ness. Lucy felt that Frank had never
had a chance. About that time she
began to lend him money-small
sums, pitifully scraped together out
of her scanty income.
So matters had drifted. At last
Frank had gone West. He wrote
home glowing accounts of his oppor-
tunities. Would Lucy scrape together
as much as she could for him to in
vest in land? 1t was a splendid
chance for both of them. Four. or
five times year he wrote to her, and
every time she sent something. She
made herself believe that Frank
wrote the truth. tt was five years
since she had seen him; but when he
wrote it was always as her lover.
Then suddenly her life had chang
ed. Her mother died, and she met
George Gray, a young architect of
the town. He wooed her persistently.
In spite of her love for Frank, Lucy
felt drawn toward her new sutton.
Gradually she fell in love with him.
This change of heart suddenly re-
vealed Frank Bennett in his true col
ors. Lucy now felt that she had es-
capped from an intolerable slavery.
She dared not tell her husband. It
was not so much that she feared he
would be jealous. They were too fond
of each other, too trustful for that.
But she was resolved that the shadow
of the past should never darken her
husbands life. ,
The Grays moved to a distant sec
ton of the town, and. Lucy sent no
more money. But for years she had
a letter box at the postoffice, that her
mother might not know of Franks

ROYALTY THAT NEEDS EDITING

Royal authors sometimes need a
deal of editing. A glaring instance
is Frederick the Great, whose spell
ing and punctuation astounded Car
lyle. "Asteure" for "a cette heure"
was a specimen Of the former; "and
as for punctuation, he never could
understand the mystery of il; he
merely scatters a few commas and
dashes, as il they were shaken out
