Professor Singleton sat bolt up
right in his chair. For a moment he
had forgotten his researches. He
looked around him. His eye fell upon
a Malay kriss hanging upon the wall,
which friend had sent him from
jagged edge, waved like the edge Of a
bread knife. II such a weapon as that

The professors eye returned me
chanically to the microscope. The
spiranthea was emerging from Its

contention. The existence Of q winged

had proved 1t. A little longer-half an

How long will you suffer In this

younger than he. You have made q

your life?"

heard his wife whisper.
The professor rose noiselessly out oi
his chair. He took down the kriss
with trembling fingers. Once It was In
his hand he felt a strange strength
which seemed to flow into his fingers
from the steel. into his blood, renew

as he bent his arm. Then, holding

AFTER HIS FASHION
By HAROLD CARTER.

Professor Singleton sat crouched
over his microscope. To the observer
he would have seemed to be studying
only q tiny spot Of jelly upon a slide.
The professor, however, was looking
into q thickly populated world. The
drop of Jelly, like the world, was
round. and within 1t several millions
Of the spiranthea Jacksonii were put
ting on wings.
This transformation of the spiran-
thea, which identified them with an
other species hitherto believed to be
separate. had never before been vit-
messed.
Singleton was forty-two. A rich man,
he had devoted himself for years to
bis scientific Investigations. OF late.
however, ever since his marriage. the
year before, to a charming society girl,
who had devoted her whole care to his
Welfare. he had insensibly been drawn
away from his hobby. That he had
shamefully neglected Mary did not oc-
cur to him. He lived for his research
es. Mary lived for him. She had
abandoned all her old friends, except
the Streets. George Street and she
had been great friends before her mar
riage. and surprise had been felt that
she had chosen the professor.
For two whole days and night Sim
gleton had bent over his microscope.
He had not slept; he had eaten there.
slipping beef tea and hot milk which
his wife brought him. Now at last he
was to be rewarded. Spiranthea was
undoubtedly passing from the larval
into the pupal stage, and from that
into the fullfedged image. Ten gen.
erations had died while he sat there;
ten had been born. and the tenth was
accomplishing what every scientist
had denied.
Suddenly Professor Singleton heard
George Streets voice In the next room,
and Mary's answering. There was
nothing strange in that, except for the
tone and the hour. The hour was mid
night; the tone low and impassioned.
"An old man." Street was saying.
Mary. you have tied yourself for life
to one who can never appreciate or
understand you. Your life Is one long
sacrifice-"
Il know It," answered Mary. ever 80
softly.
The professors heart was thump-
ing against his ribs. He had loved his
wife devotedly, after his fashion, he

break the bonds of custom and throw
OF the shackles of self. and acknowl-
edge our debt to life's fundamental
lessons. Let us deduct from the years

we are morally bound to assume"
At this point the stout man sudden
ly chuckled and slapped his leg with
considerable force.
After the sermon he was overtaken
by the pastor.
"You seemed greatly pleased with
one section OF the sermon" he said.

She did not murmur when another
Got things that she could not afford:
She loved her husbands little mother.
And all his sisters she adored.
She never sighed o'er her condition
Or feared her choice had not been
wise.
But. satisfied with her position,
She thought her husband was a priza.
He did not cease to feel that neatness
Was necessary on his part:
He did not disregard her sweetness
Or by his coldness chill her heart
He did not let himself grow fretful.
Her voice did not offend his ear:
He never. foolishly forgetful
Wrung from her heart a bitter tear.
Forever mindful of his duty
He gave her praise by word and look.
And SO their lives were filled with
beauty
But they were merely In a book.
