 When she looked up he had disap- peared.
 Swiftly she gathered herself together. Such childish tricks must not be per mitted to shatter her courage for even an instant She slipped stealthily to the door through which she had enter ed the house. In the hall she looked cautiously about. then put her foot upon the stairs and proceeded to move to the first flight, Midway, she was paralyzed into inactivity by finding the stairs to be in motion.
 Horror seized her. Then once more she braced herself. Only another trick of Loubeque's it was. The stairs seemed to fold up within themselves like a miniature escalto. They grew steady once more. and the girl looked about an t1nfurnished room of stone walls But she did not see these walls, did not mark the lack of decorations or furniture in the room, for conn pany of men formed a crescent facing her. one tall fgure-that of Loubeque- standing apart from the rest, immov- able. silent
 The solitary figure lifted his hand. Then, frozen with terror though she was, Lucille saw that each figure was swathed in black robe and that 8 plain silk mask of black covered every face Masks through which threaten ing eyes gIared out upon her, masks so light they fattened against the wear er's features with hideous significance.
 Slowly the company passed her, paus1ng before her to peer narrowly into her face, as though impressing her every feature indelibly upon their minds When she regained her powers of observation the line had passed, had paused and disappeared. She look ed about her.
 She was alone.

GRDGoR1AN CALENDAR.

The Gregorian or New Style calen- dar was first used in Great Britain and the English colonies of America 162 years ago today. Sept. 14, f752 That date fell on a Thursday. and the previous day, Wednesday, was Sept. End, old style. There are no dates Sept. to 13, 1752, in English or Amer ican history. The new style calen- dar of Pope Gregory XIII, which rec tified the errors of the old style, Jul ian calendar, was adopted in Catn- ollie countries, France Italy, Spain, Portugal, Denmark Holland and Elan ders in 1852. Two years later 1t was adopted by the Germans and the Swiss, and the Hungarians accepted it in 15S7. The calendar as reformed by Julius Caesar in 46 B. C., made a year consist of 365 days and six hours. To make up the six hours, Julius added a day to February, every four years. This worked well for 0 time, but with the passing of centuries the discrep- ancy of eleven minutes and fourteen seconds per annum put the Julian year out of gear with the true solar year

We talked it over and she thinks she could manage on that for the present. What is you advice?
 EDWARD -.
 While T encourage early marriages, would earnestly point out the tror- bles of marrying without sufficient means to keep the pot boiling. Poy- erty can kill romance-even love. do not think a young man should mar ry on eight dollars week. You find it difficult to clothe one on that amount; how would it be when the sum must suffice for two-or perhaps more? You are young enough to post pone wed1ock until your salary war dants it. If the girl loves you, she will cheerfully wait a year or so.

GIRLS WHO VANISH
 AFTER QUARRELS

 Whose charms can thrill my heart like
 thine!"
 Go then, she cried. .:but let thy com

 Oft think of her you leave in tears be-

 Tn family where there is a sensi- tive daughter, the utmost care should be taken to avoid the angry word which might lead to a downright quar- rel.
 It is always the girl with the most love in her heart that fears stormy words more than others would a blow.
 She grieves in secret over the harsh tones which her memory refuses to shake off until her happiness seems to her almost unbearable. Fancies that are cruel come to her which new CT should have found lodgment in a girls brain. She imagfnes she Is not loved; that if she were to go away no one would grieve for her.
 When they are such a pass, most girls remember some dear old aunt or friend of the family who has often urged her to pay her visit. On the spur of the moment, she thinks it would be no harm to give the folks a little scare and, at the same time. to test tn cir love for her.
 If she could but realize the fright she throws her loved ones into when she leaves them a little note saving: Dear folks, I am going to earn my own living. don't want to be 3, our- den on you any longer. Brother said it took all you made to keep me at school. Sister said I should have no more of her dresses made over for me. Cousin Ress turns up her nose at me and makes fun of my thick shoes,''
 When the folks see that the little bed hasn't been slept in there's a quick scurry among the schoolgirl friends to see if she is with them. Almost be fore they have time to realize it they receive a telegram from Aunt Mary. who lives two stations below, saving. se7Yos11. daughter is here.''

Of course she was ashamed enough and repents of her folly when she saw the mistake she had made, as her aunt polluted it out to her. But the little escapade taught the family a valuable lesson.

WHAT'S THE MATTER

Dear Miss ibbey:
 am very curious to know your opinion on the following: ; young man has been calling on me all win ter. He invariably refuses to remove his oyercoat or loosen It. although our little parIor is warm. and comfortable. His excuse is: s.I am not going to re- main five minutes. so it isn't worth while. I just ran in to see how you are.', He stays from eight in the eve ming until ten-thirty usually Now what is the matter. do you suppose? He has a good position, always looks as though he just came from the bar bers, often brings me flowers. or a box of candy-and once in a while g nice book
 JULIA -. We can only surmise in such an odd case. and it is not fair to the young man to give utterance to our surmises- Let us suppose that he imagines he looks better in the overcoat.

The quicker you get rid of such an undesirable caller the better. He is il-bred, and shows clearly that he has no respect for you or your. maiden modesty. Tell your folks all that has occurred Nice young men never kiss a girl to whom they are not betrothed Even then caresses should be dndulged in sparingly. Over-affectionate maids seldom become wives.
