How Unreasonable!

Many business men actually believe
that spelling ought to be an accom-
plishment of the average college grad
uate. A young bachelor Of arts was
recently put to work running small
printing press in the back room of q
bankers office. He was to set up and
print number of circulars to be sent
out to customers of the house.
When the work was finished, it was
found to differ decidedly from the
standards of spelling set by the late
Messrs. Webster and Worcester. The
young man was summoned to an audi
ence with his chief. The interview
was not pleasant, and the young man
showed as much by his face when he
rejoined the rest Of the Office force.
What's the matter, John?" some
one asked him.

The Cleft Stick.

In Canadas capital, thinking them
selves still safe. Mark had persuaded
Kazia to stay over two days, tina. they
might have one last uninterrupted Pc
riod together. 1t was a mistake, an
anticlimax.
They were at breakfast when, glanc-
ing up, Mark espied a familiar figure
at the doorway OF the hotel dining
room-a figure of courtly and noble
mien; moving with slow thoughtful
stride and head slightly bent, as
though, even amid the commonplace
functions of life, his mind never
ceased to dwell on momentous phil
anthropic projects; and withal mod
estly unaware Of the whisper that ran
over the room or of the many necks
craned in his direction. An obsequious
captain of walters led him down the
room, and by fateful chance, toward
the table where sat Mark and Kazia
Mark regarded him in that fascination
which a dangerous object often has
for it's victim.
Now 1t may be that the philanthropy

seemed of the interest evoked by his
entrance. for pair of furtively rowing
eyes alighted upon Mark. He stopped.

extended genial hand.

of his daze.

Quinby smiled benignantly. "A busy

There was pause during which
Quinby glanced tentatively at Kazia-
"Ah! Perhaps / am intruding"
Quinby smiled huCorously, as one who
knows his welcome anywhere is as
sured.

to stop. No, certainly not. Mrs.

missed the guide with orders to re
turn every three weeks with fresh
supplies.
Mindful of his resolve, he planned
their days carefully, thinking only that
they might be perfect for her.
The man was swept out of himself,
out Of his groove of thought, as never
before. His struggles and victories
and disappointments receded; they
seemed part of another existence II

was but as a price well paid for his

ance, the time set for their departure,
Mark without consulting Kazia, sent
him back. She did not seem to notice
the change in plan.
On the day when the guide should
have returned again, he did not come.
That evening storm arose, such as
rarely visits even those northern
woods. Mark and Kazia were out on
the lake for lazy after-supper paddle,
watching the masses of black clouds
gather over the hills at the head of
the lake. There was a rumble of dis
tant thunder.
Suddenly, overtaking the mountain
Gus vapor, appeared lower plane of
clouds, flying before wind that struck
the water and sent a line of white

canoe to safety and fed to the cabin
just as a wall of green and darkness
swept down upon them.

silent again. But after q time

saw her eyes.

She did not answer that, but smiled,
pointing.
1.-The guide is coming. Let us hurry

"No!" He sprang to his feet.

hand, 'let us not talk of it, but hurry.

They breakfasted hurriedly and be-

putting the cabin in order and stow
ing into the canoes the little they
would need on the trip down the river.
They were soon ready.
They were about to embark when
Kazia, without explanation, turned and
went back to the cabin. Many min
utes passed and she did not reappear.
Then Mark followed her. He found
her lying prone on the pile of pine
boughs that had been their couch, face
buried in her arms. Harsh dry sobs
shook her.
With cry he dropped to his knees
beside her, gently stroking her hair,
trying to soothe her grief. He pleaded
with her to stay.
Soon she had regained control. She
sat up, facing him.
How can you think of going? Back
there we won't find it as it has been
here"
1--WE must" she answered. "And
now. while it's still perfect. 1t has
been that-not thing to regret. I've
crowded into two months happiness

for it, / am willing. And you
have given 1t to me. Do you think

have the chance to repay you. l pray
that may have the chance"
1T is I who will have to repay you.
But why leave such happiness? Let
US stay here, where love is free and
clean and strong"
''If we only could! But we must GO.
Because II wouldn't stay perfect. There
are storms even in the wilderness. A
time would come-you are man
when love wouldn't be enough. You
would begin to want other men. You
would chafe against the loneliness and
inaction. We would go gladly then
and we could look back ON this only

He went to sleep that night, fearing
the awakening. But as he woke to
the summons of the early summer sun
shine filling his hotel room, the
dreaded reaction did not come. He
could think only with tenderness of

the love that did not haggle, with a
sort of awe-and the query. Could he

He arose, and going to the tele-
phone, called her number.

catch in the low voice.

"Kazia, If you should happen TO In

"Oh, will you? Come soon. IL
am always waiting for YOU"
But as he turned away from the
telephone, something caught In his
throat. Poor Kazia!" he muttered.
We've cut out big job for our
selves"
He did not have to knock at her
door. While he was still mounting
the last flight of stairs, 1t was thrown
open and she stood awaiting him In
the little entrance hall. When he took
her in his close clasp. she put her
hand to his forehead and looked
searchingly into his eyes. He was
glad that what she saw there con-
tented her.
"Oh, I'm glad" she murmured from
his shoulder, "I'm glad you called me
up"
"Of course did. How long did you
think could wait to hear your voice
Gsain?"
Il was afraid you wouldn't II you
hadn't"
But I did," He kissed her.

cleared and the dishes washed-he

tell me of the hills you came from.
I've always wanted to see them"
"Oh, yes, they're beautiful. But men
live there. / meant clear out beyond
the edge of things as you know them"
So he told her of the wilderness he
had visited-of calm pellucid rivers
that became noble lakes and then
rushed madly down narrow rocky
chutes; of vast stretches of untouched
forest. painless to all but the wild
things and the lonely, hardly less wild
trapper; of it's silences and ragings.
She listened eagerly.
Lets go there. Kazia."
The suggestion left her almost
breathless for moment. Dare we?"
why not?"
why not?" she repeated slowly.
There would be nothing to fear up
there, nothing to conceal. We could
stay until have to go back to work. 7"
Longer. If you like it. You needn't
think of work"
But l must" she smiled. II must
live-and I'm not a very rich woman"
"But L"
"Hush!" She laid a silencing hand
over his lips.
1t was easily arranged. He dropped
| note to Henley which led the latter
to believe that his counsel had been
taken and Mark had gone away to let
gossip run its course and die. Kazia
had no explanations to make.
