The longest and noisiest dinner that
Mr.. James Sibree, Jr., the author Of "A
Naturalist in Madagascar" ever at

a town called Ankarana. About score
of officers were at the table and seven

First. curry; second. goose; third,
pigeons and waterfowl; fourth, chick

seventh, sardines; eighth, pigs trot-

There was big drum just outside

ones, besides clarinets and fiddles,

1t was. as he said, that there is always
something away down in the soul of
every woman which some time or an
other draws her mate to her.
He got down to the causes of the
caustic temper of Beauty when he
first met her, and learned that her soul
was asleep because there had been no
love in all her life to awaken it. So
when they we're married he Just loved
her. He made his home the most
radiant place Beauty had ever seen in
all her young life through the tender
ness of his smile, and the gentleness
of his presence. He helped her make
a garden in which the flowers seemed
only to need his touch to make them
grow more luxuriously than in any
other garden she had ever seen, an(
the young wife was happy because she
spent most of her hours in the garden,
either working among the flowers or
listening to the resonant voice OF The
Second Man as he read to her from
some old and wonderful volume, OF
which he had hundreds.
Beauty was so absorbed in her new
life that she never stopped these days
to look in the mirror and talk to her
self in tones of disgust. The divinity
within her had been touched by an.
other divine spark, and famed by the
power OF love into q sculptor. And
this sculptor had remolded the
peaked little face Of Beauty into the
countenance Of a woman so lovely
that those who laughed themselves al.
most sick when Older Brother first
gave her the name of Beauty looked
at her now with something of awe
mingled in with their wonder.
But so busy was Beauty In loving
and being loved that she did not notice
them nor hear the things they said.
and when at last motherhood complet.

gun, and he knelt beside her as she
sat In a great arm chair with the little
new soul Graded in her arms, and
whispered Beauty" In tone akin to
reverence, her laughter sounded like
the gurgle OF cooling brook, and her
eyes shone like two stars.

BEAUTY

When Older Brother first called her
Beauty the whole family laughed
That was a rare compliment to Older
Brothers wit. for the family was one
seldom given to mirth. But when they
looked from the thin, pinched little
face, with its buttermilk expression,
down the angular young body to the
too long legs. and back again to the
straggly hair the nickname created for
the girl by Older Brother was so in
congruous that even Mother, who had
never wanted any one OF her six chill
dren Oleast OF all Beauty could not
help laughing outright Naturally
Older Brother was much pleased with
himself and saw to It that the name
chung to the little girl all through the
days OF her childhood.
The years that came and went made
Beauty no less misnomer, for the
girls face grew smaller and more
pinched and more sour with every one
OF them. The youngest and least well
come OF all the unwelcome six at
home she was always pushed aside to
shufiie for herself as best she might.

family deal. In school things were no
better. Other children called her
Beauty and roared Nth laughter until
the girl designated by the name al.
ways skunk unhappily away to some
far corner where no one would find
and taunt her.
So Beauty grew up for all the world
like an unlovely. scraggly little weed
crowded In among harder rlants which
never gave her room to thrive and be
healthy,
When The First Man met her. and
heard someone call her Beauty he fol.
lowed the earlier example OF her fam.
lily. That Ii he laughed almost in
Heauty's very face. And whenever he
was alone and thought OF the ungainly
young woman with her sour face. he
laughed again.
Then to keep up his reputation for
doing odd things The First Man paid
court to Beauty.
The girls family was thrown almost
into cachinnating tits. and The First
Mans friends said he must be crazy.
all Of which made him the more deter.

One day when he was in a particu-
larry spiteful and contrary mood The
First Man asked Beauty to marry him.
and the girl. who was every whit as
resentfal Of the gibes and lest OF his
friends and hers said yes.
When they were married they led a
cat and dos life. which was quite to
have been expected. The First Man
called his wife Beauty with a sneer.
and she told him in turn that she had
married him for spite and hated him
cordially, all OF which was true enough
to be sure.
One day The First Man told her that
he was going away for long time.

After long while Beauty received
q letter from The First Man telling her

loked in the mirror at her buttermilk
face and told herself quite honestly
that she didn't blame him in the least.
