some photographs"
Marvin had met him several times
and was civil enough, but evidently
bored. The effects of his previous,
nights debauch had unnerved him.
He was unhinged, probably ashamed,
possibly repentant.

Marvin regarded his visitor with

up finally in chagrined, shamefaced
way, that you wish to sell me these
photographs to get them out of the

of blackmail.
For reply Boyd seized the package,
tore the cards to fragments and
threw them into waste basket.

wished to bring home to you what the
dear, loyal wife who loves you SO

poignantly, springing to his feet. Hs

A month ago Lieutenant Vidrequin
was given leave of absence owing to

was ignorant of Miss Wansort's where

was a refugee in England. He made

What "Penny" of Nails Mean.

The terms ten-penny, etc., as ap-
piled to nails came from the number
in a pound, pronounced pun. Nails of
such size that it took 1000 of them
to weigh four, six, eight or ten pounds
were popularity known as four-pun
nails, six-pun' nails, eight-pun' nails
and ten-pun' nails, respectively; and
in the course of time, four-pun' nails.
six-pun' nails, ETC., were gradually cor
rupted to the meaningless four-penny
nails, six-penny nails, etc.

send work to Boyd. He found him
self hopeful, prosperous, happy.
One morning as he CHANGED to pass
the elegant home of the Marvins, he
viewed a scene that at once troubled
him. Mr. Marvin was just leaving
the house. He came down the steps
with an angry face, evidently greatly
disturbed He was handsome man.
but his features seemed to show
traces of dissipation. Pretty Mrs.
Marvin stood within the vestibule, one
hand extended as if appealing to him
to return Then as her husband
swung away she crouched back, COW
ering her face with her hands as if
in dire distress.
TROUBLE! Oh, hope not, though it
seems so,' reflected Boyd, sorely dis
turbed on account of his good kind
friend. Then his thoughts were alb
ruptly disturbed as a friendly hand
touched his shoulder.
"Hello, Boyd, what you doing in
this aristocratic quarter?" hailed his
challenger, whom he recognizeG as an
old-time friend.
ST am having a good deal of work
in the neighborhood," explained Boyd.

ooh, yes, Mrs. Marvin has taken a
special interest in influencing commits

can infer what that will lead to in

week, is brought home jolly but bois-
ferrous, is all savage and disgrunt-ed
the next morning. It's breaking that
poor little woman's heart"
All this was a revelation to loyal
Roslyn Boyd and he was deeply
grieved. Mrs. Marvin called him in
a day or two later to see about en-
larging some family pictures. He
fancied he could trace a repressed
sorrow in her manner, the lines OF
care about her fnely-chiseled lips
However, he dared not breach the
subject resting weightily on his mind
nor proffer the earnest, helpful sym
pathy that stirred his honest soul.

his thoughts. He saw the friend who

"You can't break into family row,

get no thanks If you did. It's just
this way: if Marvin could be made to

he makes when he gets full OF cham

into behaving himself.'
