world and its people, as she might
have done in another way by pursuing
the time-honored and rather cowardly
plan OF entering a convent, she was
soon to discover that success in the
undertaking brought deeper sense of
exile than she could have imagined
herself able to endure at the outset.
She found herself more utterly alone
and friendless than at any time in her
life. The chance companions she
formed at Interlaken-despite a we'll
meant reserve-served only to in
crease her feeling of loneliness and de-
spair. The very natural attentions of
men, young and old, depressed her, in
stead of encouraging that essentially
feminine thing called vanity. She
lived as one without an aim, without a
single purpose except to close one day
that she might begin the next.
After a time, she went on to Lu-
cerne. Here the life on the surface
was gayer, and she was reused from
her state of lethargy in spite of her
self. Once. from her little balcony in
the National, sheIsaw two of her old
acquaintances In the chorus at the
Gaiety. They were wearing many
pearls. Another time, she met them in
the street. She was rather quietly
dressed. They did not notice her. But
the prosperous Hebraic gentlemen who
attended them were not so careless.
One day card was brought to her
rooms. For the next two weeks she
had true and unavoidable friend in
Lucerne. 1t would appear that Mrs.
Rowe-Martin had not been apprised Of
the rift in the Wrandall Lutte. She
had no reason to consider the exclu-
sive Miss Castleton as anything but
the most desirable Of companions. Mrs.
Rowe-Martin was not long In finding

OF Challis Wrandall. There was some
thing uncanny in the persistence with

nightly reminders of a man he scarce

more or less obsessed by the idea that

Lower Animals That Weep

Among the creatures that weep most
easily are the ruminants. All hunters
know that the stag weeps, and we are
also assured that the bear sheds tears
when 1t sees its last hour approaching.
The giraffe is not less sensitive, and
regards with fearful eyes the hunter
who has wounded it, Dogs weep quite
easily. The same is true of certain
monkeys. AS for the elephant, there
is abundant evidence of the ease with
which 1t weeps. 1t sheds tears when

She couldn't think Of Sara without

But at last Mrs. Rowe Martin depart

not before she had increased the girls
burthens by introducing her into a
cold-nosed cosmopolitan set from
which there were but three ways OF es-
cape. She refused TO marry one OF
them. denied another the privilege of
making love to her, and declined TO
play auction bridge with all of them.
They were not long in dropping her, al

regret among the men.
From Mrs. Rowe Martin and others
she heard that Mrs. Redmond Wran-

christening, and that Leslie had been
doing some really wonderful flying at

Something told her too that Brandon
