Two months later Margaret sailed
for Europe She knew now that all
the important changes In her life had
come; thence forward 1t would flow
evenly along In its present channels.
She still loved Harry. That she knew.
She would always love him, But they
would never be anything more to each
other than they were.
; The man whom she had idealized
had proved to be a very human being
after all. And the angel that Harry
Vernon had depicted in his imagina-
ton was no angel, but just a woman
He had given her his heart, and he
knew that nobody could ever win his
love again So long as he lived he
must love Margaret.
Margaret, leaning over the side Of
the vessel, Idly watched the wake Of
foam. Her thoughts were with Harry
But she sighed little for the loss Of
her dreams. She knew that the I'M
aginings Of young girl the girlish
aspirations, could never be fulfilled In
life. The disillusionment was tender
and gentle, but-well, Margaret knew.
The scales had fallen from her eyes;
that was all.
She went down into her cabin. Up
on little shelf the Billken clock was
ticking. She did not pay the slightest
attention to It.
Later, in Paris, she stood in her ho-
tel room, looking out into the streets.
She watched the busy throngs, and
still the thought of Harry held her
heart. She was more than ever re-
solved that her state Of life should
never change, She loved Harry. and
must always love him, and the idea Of
giving her love to any other man was
an impossibility. But-but-
Upon the mantel in the furnished
room the Billiken clock was ticking

about the imprisoned imp inside. She
wound 1t daily, as she might have
wound any other clock But she did
not give thought to 1t more than she
had bestowed upon the old alarm
clock In her bedroom at home.
Finally, back in her home In Amer

CLOCK that SPOKE

"A clock, Harry! For an engage

Lisle, looking with astonished eyes
at the gilt timepiece which her sweet
heart, Harry Vernon, removed from
its wrappings.
We'll, you see, dear, it was an idea
OF my own, Harry explained 1T is
called a Billiken clock and it is sup
posed to make lovers true to each 9TH
er for whole year All you have to
do is to set it upon your table, wind
1t every day, and let 1t run. You see,
1t tells the months as we'll as the

1t, shall we?'

Harry kissed her, and with that the

time. The next morning 1t was tick

mantel. And sometimes the thought
Of its pretendedly miraculous powers
returned to her, but only for a time.
The approaching marriage drove away
all other ideas.
They were to have been married in
three months, but the sweetest love
may come to its undoing. There had
been little quarrels, such as are not
unknown among lovers; but 1t was a
revelation to Margaret when Harry
told her she never loved him.

JUSTICE IN HIS DECISION
A Little Reflection viii Show That tho
Cadl Properly Solved Desert
Problem.

Two Arabs stopped at an oasis to
have luncheon; one had three dates,
and the other had five which they
were to eat together. Presently a
stranger came up. and asked permits
sion to share their meal, which they
cheerfully granted. After all had
eaten the stranger thanked them for
the food they had given him, left eight
ducats and rode away.
The Arab who had the three dates
said, Here are eight ducats for eight
dates-one ducat for each date: there
fore three ducats are mine" But the
other Arab argued differently, and con-
tended that he should have seven du-
cats and the first man one The case
was referred to the eadi Of the nearest
town, who upheld the second mans
contention! This is the way he
reached his decision:
The three men divided eight dates:
there were two and two-thirds for
each, or eight thirds. The first Arab
had three dates, so he contributed
nine-thirds to the whole, but he ate
eight-thirds himself, so he gave only
one-third of a date TO the stranger.
The second Arab contributed five
dates, or ;itteen-thirdS; he ate eight
thirds himself. and gave seven.thirds
to the stranger.
So reasoned the cadi, and he gave
the first Arab one ducat and the sec
ond seven ducats.-Youth's Compan-
