guiltily. II feel nervous this evening.
that's all" Her accustomed word OF
endearment fell from her lips natu-

thought that if Warren We're contem-
plating anything underhanded, now
utterly unworthy he was of her taltn
and love. How unworthy any man
was. even the best of them, she
thought. for she had prided herself on
Warren's love for her, and here it was
crumbling at her feet, no better than
any other mans, professed faith.
Warren had suggested going to the
theater, but she had refused on the
plea of a headache. so they had gone
home. She did not follow Warren
directly into the livingroom, but
went into her own room first to re-
move her hat and coat. That would
give Warren the opportunity he want

portunity to open the letter alone.

minutes afterward, he was sitting In

herself around heavy-eyed and tired
from the effects of sleepless night.
She went into the bathroom for a
headache powder which she was in
the act of preparing when the tele-
phone rang so suddenly that she
dropped the powder, and it flew out
of her hand and scattered over the
floor. Nora called her just then, and
she hurried to the telephone to be
greeted by Warren's brusdue hello.

Helen almost dropped the receiver.
"A trip. why yes. Warren, what
kind of trip? Where?"

My Dear Purviance:
Herewith find enclosed $l.00, sub
scription to the Independent.
Well, my dear old friend, we have
passed another mile stone in the
Journey Of life, and last Thursday
night; time in his course amid the
thousands of huzzas of laughter and
good cheer opened the portals Of an
other year. The traditional halo of
glory so beautifully blended with our
instructive traits just at this peculiar
time give US all an impetus of thought
and feeling of expectancy not only
BETTING the occasion but impart to
US an exhiliration which is largely
responsible for some of our most san
guine hopes and best resolutions at
the beginning of the New Year.
However, it is with mingled emotions
We look at the past, and from the
light and logic of experience know
that the coming year will bring US
sorrows as we'll as joys.
The past year has been one of
marvellous scenes, the visitations of
fate have swayed nations as we'll as
individuals, bringing happiness to
some and distress to others; discon-
certing plans in one instance end add
ing courage and hope in another.
The whole world has been shaken
with emotions of wonder and admira-
tion and while you and are still per-
mitted to live and enjoy the unrivaled
pleasures of being associated with
the dear ones at home, some of our
best friends have been taken to their
eternal abodes-Motion means devel-
opment, it also means decay and one
of the greatest mysteries and saddest
thoughts in all the economy of nature
is, that man when in the midst of his
greatest usefulness has to be cut
down, and when think as | often do
in my solitary meditations Of the near
approach of our final end, | feel con-
strained to reach out and take you
and all the other dear old McNairy
friends within my embrace and amid
ecstatic joys Of our last grand earth
ly reunion, praise God for his wis
dom, love and mercy. You are a
younger man than myself and your
moral status and strong endeayor all
along through life in behalf of good
citizenship give you great influence
for good and | want to assure you
that in my opinion, you can display
no greater charity than communicate
with your old friends and in your own
jolly way tighten the burdens Of care,
and to that end shall hope to see
you more frequently in Corinth.
| can't think Of anything that go
arouses my sympathies and stirs my
emotions like heart to heart talk
with an old time, true and tried
McNairy friend.
Kindly give my best regards to all
of my old time friends you meet.
Wishing you much success and a
prosperous life, throughout all the
coming years Of your existence.
