arne Club for Bows.

The boy in the city must avoid many
side tracks if he desires to lead an
upright and useful life, says the Bos-
ton Globe. Constantly he Is beset
with distractions which may lead him
astray into the rangs of the incompe-
tent, idle or even vicious. He is an
inquisitive, knowledge-thirsting crea-
ture, full of the great possibilities of
youth. His latent powers are pre-
cious; yet they are wasted with prod
igality akin almost to that OF nature.
Hence the establishment of the large
boys club in Roxbury, handsomely
housed and well equipped, means that
many boys will be given the opportu-
nifty to keep on the main line leading
to a useful life.
A boys enthusiasm is more often
aroused when he thinks he Is playing
than when he is working at school.
The boys club can catch him when
he is enthusiastic and start that en-
thusiasm toward manly accomplish
ment We wish the club every sue
cess.

fed on by gossip-and that the man
before her was raving maniac.
Fall had edged off. But Norris,
watching her, needed no answer, her
startled gasp as she shrank back Con-
victing her utterly.
His hand went deep in his pocket,
and when he wheeled and raised his
arm there was short sharp flash,
and Fall dropped in the sand. He
rose, and with faltering steps started
like drunken man toward cliff
overlooking the sea. Stumbling, fall
ing, desperately rising, he made his
way up through the rocks to the cliffs
top, as Ethel wrestled frantically with
the madman before her.
He broke loose from her clutching
fingers, and again raising his arm,
pointed it toward the cliffs summit
where Fall tottered. Another shot

tapping, halcyon waters of the Pacific

not the cost; but this thing, copied by
all the papers throughout the land,
might, and very probably would, ruin
him.
He took an early train for the beach,
where he endeavored to placate his
wife and make her withdraw her
charge; but she had ceased to think of
him as a positive quantity, and was
unmoved by his appeals.
= When Ethel arrived she went
straight to her cottage, which she
found deserted. Myra and her father
had gone to the shore. She drew in
her breath sharply as her anxious
eyes, after searching the living room
for signs Of its new occupant, fell on
a large, Hoppy straw hat flung care
lessly on a chair. She picked 1t up
and examined 1t eagerly, her essential
feminine binding her for the moment
to its indication, and causing her to
wonder what he could see In that;
then realizing it's significance she
dashed it fiercely to the ground and
started for the beach. She walked
quickly, tirelessly in the soft sand, and
was startled when, after a sharp turn
round ledge of rock, she came upon
Willard Fall. He was sobered by his
wifes refusal to listen to his entreat,
les, and was as detected as his trivial
nature would allow. He lifted his hat.
Good afternoon, Mrs. Norris.
Thought you didn't like the seashore."
"Howdyedo, Mr.. Fall. Oh, l come
down occasionally"
1--WE wanted ever since that fright
full day, to let you know how sorry
am that you should have been placed
in such an unfortunate position"
He said nothing, however, of the
divorce suit, thinking she must already
know She wanted to be rid of him
wanted to fly on wildly-wanted to
find them-wanted and feared to
feared every step that took her eager,
urgent feet further and further along
the limitless stretch of beach. He
kept on talking, solicitously trying his
utmost to assure her of his regret.
Racing, careening madly down the
beach came Norris auto, its flying
wheels sending up a swish of sand in
their wake. 1t stopped within a few
yards of them, and Norris, a strange,
wild expression on his face, jumped
out. He had seen them half a mile
off, and the sight Of them together
changed his crafty, quiet look to one
of terrible rage. Dashing wildly up
to where they stood, he thrust the
frightful headline under EtheTs eyes,
his face twitching in frightrul contor-
tions.
'Ts it true? Is it true? Is it"
he gurgled chokingly.
Ethel's eyes took in the glaring
headline, and followed down to the
subhead. She started back, gasping,
realizing fully that what she had
dreaded had come to pass-that he had
learned from another source what she
had not the courage to tell him-that
he had doubted her as she him-that
it was all hideous misunderstanding

holding hands with his pretty stenog-
rapher."
Mrs. Fall recovered quickly from
an involuntary expression of surprise,
and casting a scornful, contemptu-
GUS glance at the man who justified
his indulgences by calumniating an
other, turned and was gone.
Blindly, angrily, Mrs. Fall rushed
from the building, and in Central
Park, where she went for rest and
air, she met Mrs. Norris. Forgetting
that she lived 'fn glass house," for
getting everything except that misery
loves company" she warned her
against the pretty stenographer in her
husbands office. By a few careless
words the seeds of an awful suspicion
were soWn.
"All through, Miss Foster?"
YES wearily, "all through"

you?"

with the ghost of a smile. IT'S been

it to leave"
That's shocking state of affairs,
certainly. Tell me, does your father
seem too great a care, lately? Do
you find it difficult to give your work
your best attention, with the worry of
his ailing health on your mind? You
know" - whimsically you're too
great a necessity here for me to allow
anything to distract you from your
work.
Her face, flushed with fever as it
was, beamed softly as he mentioned
her father, and connected that word
with too great care" Her father
too great a care.
Father a care?" she answered half
interrogatively. You don't know
father, Mr.. Norris. He is the one Joy
of my life. For years before l was
old enough or able to work, he was
father and mother to me. Up with
the sun each morning, he saw to it
that my clothes were brushed, my
pencils sharpened for school-made a
warm fire and prepared my breakfast,
Then, off to the frightful bleach fac
tory where he got his cough, and at
work all day, and sometimes part of
the night, that l might have a pretty
hair-ribbon, or a pair of new slippers.
All my youthful hopes, desires, trou-
bles were poured into his willing ears
at night, and he was ever sympathetic
with the extravagant fancies of my
tiighty, childish imagination, and al
ways gentle in his reproaches for my
many faults. No, fathers no care to
me. 1t gives me pleasure each morn
ing that have strength to go out to

at that moment to think Of the Nor

BY the way did you pass there on

her voice that bespoke something
