Ignorant as she was, half educated,
with the little siangy manners of
speech of her class. Lawlor had real
lied that his love for her could toler-
ate all these things And she had
looked up to him SC naively as a great
painter.
DO you know, Mr.. Lawlor, it Is a
wonderful experience in my life to
have met you" she confided one day.
Il never knew anybody like you be-
fore. I've always wanted fellow who
could think beautiful things, like you
can, instead of just being Interested
in making money"
Lawlor smiled rather grimly at that,
but his infatuation had reached the
point where he did not vince at the
words she used. Instead, acting on
the impulse, he bent down and took
Miss Moore in his arms and kissed
her.
The girl lay there silent for just a
moment Then she drew herself away
and looked at him with an expression
that Lawlor had never seen on her
face before. There was in it some
thing of wounded dignity-and some
thing of helplessness.

me to pass away the time" she said

lying trick promoter, Vanderbilt X.
Cash! Say, I've got an idea!
With the swiftness and surety OF a
revelation Ike fixed his mind upon
powerful suggestion that had come to
him. AS has been said. when he had
looked up the mining company in his
fathers behalf, but at his own ex-
pense, he had plumbed the total depths
of that plausible fraud. He had not
visited its promoter, for Mr.. V. X.
Cash had temporarily retired from
business. A day or two since, how
ever, Ike had read an advertisement in
city newspaper connecting the ener-
getic promoter with a new and spe-
cious stock-selling exploitation. Ike
chewed a string ruminatively for about
ten minutes Then he sought out his
father in the turnip field.
Dad" he observed, Il think see
a way out of my difficulties"
You've got no real ones" growled
the old man. Being done out of two
thousand dollars is a difficulty. Get

marked Ike, holding to his theme. IL

Next. can you spare me for few

That's all right-lll be the loser.

well, it's surely good to be back on

Lawlor, as he awakened in his apart
ment the morning after his return
from the two weeks vacation which
he had allowed himself.

arrangement mad been suggested by
the editor of the magazine which had
bought the exclusive right to her
work He was to meet her soon. He
would have met her before. but she
! had been away.
Presently, as he dressed. sober
| thoughts began to steal through
| Jimmy's mind. He had been guilty
of very imprudent behavior during his
short vacation. In fact. he had gone
to the Catskills expecting to find ru
raj quiet there. and he had found the
place full of young store clerks ant
salesladies on their vacation.
Among the latter had been Miss Liz
zie Moore. Miss Moore was type o
the store girl-one of those types tina

answered Lawlor gradually gave
up hopes of making the agreement.
He became moody and dissatisfied.
His bank balance was being slowly
depleted He was not in fear Of pow
erty, but he began to realize-which
was an excellent thing for him-that
he was not yet such great man as
he thought himself to be.
And, as the weeks went by. Law
lor began to realize that he had by no
means forgotten Miss Lizzie Moore.
In fact, with the increase of time, he
began to picture her clearly. Her gen.
tie nature, her flawless character. her
mind, only awaiting cultivation to re-
move its surface blemishes. And one
night he came to a momentous deci-
sion.
He dug up the address and wrote
her letter, reminding her of his prom
Use, and apologetically referring to the
business which had prevented him
from redeeming it before.
Back came little letter. She had
never forgotten him. but thought he
had forgotten her. She would be glad
to see him on the evening he had sug-
gested at nine o'clock, and Mother
is looking forward to meeting the fine

But on the top story he stood still
in amazement Was this Miss Moore,
this beautiful woman in the black eve

him, and. still smiling at his discom-

The apartment was furnished with
elegant taste. from the shaded lamp to

DIGNITY FORCED UPON AGE
No Real Reason Why a Certain De-
gree of frivolity Should Not Be
Allowed Older People.

The worst thing about age is that
1t seems to call for dignity. At least
dignity has been fixed to age in such
manner that where one wears gray
at the top and has not dignity, he is
more or less repulsive to those with
whom he comes in contact.
Age is not by nature dignified; dig
nity is an artificial accomplishment.
forced upon the race through so-called
amenities. Age would like to romp
and play on the ground like youth;
age would kick up it's heels and yell
and whistle If 1t were not for dignity.
So when a fellow is old enough to
realize that he is expected to be dig
| nified, and young enough to want to
be a colt forever, it is pretty hard to
get along and keep the face straight.
Not that one should not be serious
at times. Indeed, one should be seri'
GUS most OF the time. People talk
about always wearing smile; II is
wrong. The fellow who is eternally
smiling, who is always light OF speech
ana tnOusHt-He 10 quito %
a bore as the fellow who is too serl
Gus. There is happy medium, q
smile when smile is in order, Sc
rious mien when seriousness Is the
order of the moment. But there Il
no time when age can unbend its dig
nity. save at the expense of seeming
foolish to the audience. SO age goes
about it's way in pain, anxious u
break over the traces to frivolity once
more, to play at childish games, U
make mud pies once more to be al
natural as in youth. But such course
of conduct is denied to age, and SUI
fering ensues in many cases.-Colum
