why, they try and try, and never
say de- he answered.
When he was gone Clarice set her
self laborioUsly to work upon her
plot. 1t was love story, of course,
and the heroine was very much like
Clarice, just as the hero was like
Richard. With trembling fingers Clar-
ice dropped the precious missive in
the letter box, and then she waited.
On the fifth morning long enve-
lope came to her. Clarice's heart
beat high. She opened it. Out tum-,
bled her story, and, inside the folded
pages was printed notice as follows:
THE editors of The Leviathan' re-
greet that, after careful consideration,
they are unable to use the MS which
you have so kindly submitted.
There was not even a name signed
to it.
Clarice spent that afternoon in her
room crying. She did not care about
the story, but she knew that she
would never make wife for Richard.
Later that day hope revived. The
next morning the village stationer
got a fresh order for foolscap. Two
days afterward a second story was
posted. This time the hero was still
more like Richard, but the heroine
was not in the least like Clarice.
Clarice was blonde and petite, and
the heroine, Ada Maltravers, was tall,
brunette and statuesque.
Evidently this sort of heroine also
failed to meet the appreciation of the
stony-hearted editor, for in four days
time Ada MaltraVers was back on
Clarice's hands.
Poor, desperate CIarice resolved to
learn her fate from Richard. She
would write him a letter, under the
name. she had adopted-George
Black-and post it from Hazelton,
the next village. She wrote a pitiful
inquiry as, to the cause for the rejec-
tiOn of her two stories. "TeIl me-

ignorance of life, the inexperience of
the themes with which he dealt, Rich
ard expounded And in the final sem
tence he advised him to wait awhile
before offering stories, and then not
to offer them to 1.-THE Leviathan."
Three days after writing this let
ter, which Littlefield had expected
would gently, decisively, and kindly
turn his correspondents thoughts
from the literary road, the editor re-
ceived letter which made him tear
his hair and then thrust on his hat
and rush wildly from the office to the
railway station.
1t was a ten-page letter, but it
might all have been contained in
couple of lines. Clarice had written
that she could not marry him.
Eight hours later a wild-eyed, dis
heveled figure, which nobody on
earth could have mistaken for a IA
nous editor, was hammering on the
front door of Clarice's house. Clar-
ices mother opened and recoiled in
amazement.
"Clarice?' muttered the great edi-
tor.
'Is it you, Richard! She is in bed,
with sick headache"

ed out.
Clariee's mother had gone through
the experience of youth herself. So,
instead of thrusting him out into the
night, she led him in and put him
upon lounge, and, ten minutes later,
Clarice appeared, red-eyed, but tan
talizingly pretty as ever.

Richard Littlefield, holding out the
letter.

One, of the most interesting meet
ings OF the Woman's Board of Mis-
sions was that held yesterday after
noon in the parlors of Central Union
Church. Aside from the regular re,
ports that were read the ladies listen
ed to reports by missionaries, one
from Spain and the other from the
Himslayas in India.
The devotional services were car
ried on by Miss GuIick. Both the
report of the secretary and treas
#urer were read. -
! Mrs. Richards spoke briefly upon
the Mission study classes that are to
take place during the lenten season.
These classes will be held every
Monday afternoon from four until five
o'clock, from the third of February
till the thirteenth of March. These
classes will be held in the different
churches. The first meeting viii
take place at Central Union Church,
the second at the Methodist Episco-
pal church, the third at the Christian
church, the fourth at the Davies
Memorial In Saint Andrews, the fifth
at Central Union, and the sixth and
last at the Davies Memorial Mrs.
Richards alid that the churches inter
ested in these classes are anxious to
have a large attendance, and In
speaking of them ,said that she hoped
that the ladies would set aside the
Mondays of lent. 1t was also sug-
gested that the ladies' secure copies
of Robert Spears, "The Light of The
World" These win be placed on
sale at the Crossroads Bookshop and
may be had for a small price. If the
ladies who intend to take up this
study have some knowledge of the
subjects to be lectured upon they
will probably get more good from
them -. ~
The reports from the Cleaners So
ciety was then read by Mrs. e. A.
Jones, the president of the organiza-
