SINS BEYOND ALL PARDON
doned by Women-FeeIing That
Is 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. 1t Is
not 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 a
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. It's roots are
down deep; it's 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
put 1t neatly when he said victory was
won by the woman behind the man
behind the gun.-Editorial in Woman
World

Connecticut. She was one of the pref
test girls the colonel had ever seen,
with her fluffy brown hair, gray eyes,
red lips and unsophisticated ways.
The colonel was a little afraid of her
ct first but after a while he won her
confidence. He knew how to do that;
he was always gentle and always a
gentleman.
He had employed her as his secre-
tary, at twenty dollars, for about a
month when he learned about Tom.
Tom was young farmer in her home
town, and they we're engaged to be
neutrality-suspicious. in a years time,
when she had saved her trousseau
money and he had begun to make
things go better. He had only lately
taken over the land, and it was heavily
mortgaged.
Miss Elizabeth" said the colonel,
and, though it was the first time he
had ever called her by her Christian
name. his tone was so respectful that
1t was impossible to take exception to
his words-"Miss Elizabeth, you are
much too charming a girl to take up
country life. Why, here you could
have your pick of dozen million
aires.''
Miss Elizabeth laughed softly and
looked at the colonel with that inno-
cent expression that always puzzled
him.
'Tll prove it." said the colonel. I'm
going to take you out to lunch with
me, and just you watch the men stare
at you"
Miss Elizabeth put on her hat and
accompanied him. She had never been
into big restaurant before, had never
eaten cold jellied consomme or tasted
champagne. She slipped about two tea
spoonfuls of the ice cold wine out of
courtesy, although her parents had
been prohibitionists. Still, she did not
want to hurt the colonel
Il have had most delightful time;
you are very good to me-" she said,
when they returned to the office.
Feel like repeating the expert
ment?" inquired the colonel, and Miss
Elizabeth nodded gayly
That was the beginning of many
luncheons. At times the girls heart
misgave ner; she felt that she ought
not to accept so much kindness from
this friend. But he was always so
gentle, so entirely respectful to her
Then one day the colonel invited her
to dine with him and go to the theater
For the first time that night, after
she had left him at her door, Miss Eli
zabeth began to dread that his interest
In her was not wholly platonic There
bad been an undertone of something
that she did not understand In his de-.
meanor that evening. And, what
troubled her most, she had somehow
felt that it was not advisable to make
any reference to him in her letters to
Tom.
Tom was looking forward anxiously
to seeing her when her vacation came
the following month Perhaps then
she would tell Tom Perhaps
She went to bed with conscience
not wholly free from problems.
1t was a day or two later that Miss
Elizabeth spoke of her vacation to the
colonel.

of reaching the outskirts Of the town,
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 a
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, I've heard all about it. 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."
81 have just left her." said Bertram
as steadily as he could. Amory, she
Is a rare jewel. Cherish her as the
apple of your eye!"
why, how grave and strange you
act!" commented Amory.
81 feel so,'' responded Bertram
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
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 Tnfortu-
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 a woman's tender
care, for there were times when his
frail frame could not withstand a
chronic illness he had inherited.
So. with the early dawn Bertrarn
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, l shall claim
that kiss"
Bertram visited a widowed sister in,
q town at distance. He wrote only
one letter. 1t was to his friend Amory,
telling him that he counted on 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
them. He went away from civiliza-
ton. With a body of sturdy prospec-
tors he braved the hardships of two
trying Alaska winters. One day Ber-
tram turned up at the home of his
sister, tired-out man, bronzed, rough
ened, but breaking down with a fever.
There were weeks Of lonely illness,
then a protracted conyalescence. He
