doned by Women-FeeIIno That
10 Deeply Rooted.

Woman will forgive almost anything
in man except cowardice or treason.
There she draws the line. Not only
is the feeling instructive, but It comes
to her through long years Of human
evolution. In the earliest ages her
faith, as we'll as her safety. was in
the man who stood face to face with
the enemy and fought for her. It is
not a difference In heroism that makes
men soldiers. Nature has arranged
that very nicely and women know and
understand. They know, too. that the
same nature imposes upon them perils
and burdens that exceed those of the
battlefield. and good men understand
that the best they can show in per-
sonal courage and fortitude Is only q
poor second to the fearlessness Of
womanhood.
Thus patriotism blossoms and
blooms in woman's soul as naturally
as the old-fashioned rose grows in
the old family garden. Its roots are
down deep; its vitality is ever equal
and its fragrance is the sweetest thing
in life. With full hearts but tranquil
souls women can send forth their
sons, their husbands, their sweet
hearts. their protectors to danger or
to death-to anything save hating or
dishonor A great American admiral

Her fair soul in her eyes, Evelyn

BEGINNING Of Antwerp.

Antwerp it is said, takes its name
from a castle which in Frankish times
marked the site of the city. This cas-
tie was built to protect the entrance
Of the Scheldt. and to prevent foreign
traders introducing goods into the
country without paying toll to the
sovereign lord The penalty for theft
and smuggling was in those days the
cutting of of hand, and. as in this
case, the severed members were
thrown into the Scheldt. the castle
came to be known as Andhunerbo Tor,
In Flemish, Antwerpen). "the place

of being alone in some secluded wood
land spot where he could think out and
wear out the great grief that was con.
Stunning him. He tried to slip down
side lane as he saw coming toward him
Amory Kendall. But the latter had
espied him. He ran up to Bertram,
affectionately entwining the arm Of the
loyal friend he loved next best to
Evelyn.
"You big, brave fellow!" cried Ken
dali, 1--WE heard all about 1t. The
whole town is talking of the fearful
risk you took, and we'll they may. Oh,
how grateful Evelyn will be-! You
must come at once and see her."
II have Just left her." said Bertram
as steadily as he could. Amory. she

apple of your eye!"
"Why, how grave and strange you
act!" commented Amory.

gravely.
Sort of shaken up after your lucky
escape see," remarked the light
hearted Amory, and let his friend pass
on. little dreaming Of the wild turmoil
going on within that loyal heart.
Till the dews Of evening covered
him. till the distant bells chimed out
the solemn midnight hour, till the
first twittering birds began the greet
ing chorus to dawn. his face buried In
the grass, Bertram Morse fought out
his great battle.
He loved Evelyn-he was even sure
that she loved him. He was unfortu'
nate in not coming on the scene until
Amory had proposed to her. Good OLD
Amory, They had been like brothers
He was not strong and muscular like
Bertram, and that had made Amory
always lean toward him protectingly.
Then. too, he needed woman's tender
care. for there were times when bis
frail frame could not withstand a
chronic illness he had inherited.
So. with the early dawn Bertram
Morse quietly, sadly turned his BACK
ON the world that had been, and the
ones he cherished. And all through
the soaring ordeal he whispered to
himself:
"When she is old and l am old, and
Amory will not care, / shall claim
that kiss"
Bertram visited a widowed sister In
a town at q distance. He wrote only

one letter. It was to his friend Amory,
telling him that he counted on q better
working chance out West, and had
started on his journey thus abruptly
to spare the pain Of parting with his
good. kind friends.
Then for three years those friends
heard nothing Of Bertram nor he Of

There were weeks Of lonely illness,
then a protracted convalescence. He

me. want to settle it on you. for

That was his determination. The
old tugging had come at his heart
when he realized that he was com.
paratively near to Evelyn. When des.
perately i'll he had thought of sending
for her, but had procrastinated the or.
deal. Now, however. he said:
"And mail this letter. Bertha" and 1t
was directed to Evelyn.
He had asked her to come and see
him and bring her husband with her.

wrote. II want to make Amory little

came into the room. "Oh, why did you

Evelyn. you will not send me away,
