home IN another city and live with
them as companion, friend, a welcome
guest. There were the children to
teach, there would be ample leisure
to pursue her activities in ceramic
art. And at last Helena had decided
to leave the dreary old groove OF
life and attempt existence under a
new and more promising phase.
1--WE are going to make you forget
the old griefs and troubles, Helena,
dear" said the gentle spirited Edith
hopefully-"Arnol and l. There is
surely a happy useful place for you
here. Modest, but comfortable"'
queried the speaker playfully, as she
noted a calculating expression IN
Helenas eye as she took in her en-
vironment.
1T is a beautiful home, everything
is so TASTEFUL began Helena.
81 see what you are thinking" de-
cIared Edith. you supposed that we
were rich. We were, but the last
year has changed all that"
''Then if you have had money
trouble. I shall be burden to you
why. we want you more than ever,
just on that account" insisted Edith.
rs there a more helpful person in
the world than yourself? Think what
you can do for the children! No, no,
dear, when we first asked you to
come to us Arnold was wealthy. A
dishonest partner robbed him of over
fifty thousand dollars. But when we
got your letter accepting our offer
Arnold was actually joyous. Don't
think of deserving US because we
are poor"
So Helena settled down into her
new life. New delights came daily
within her experience. Mr.. Percival
was q resourceful man. and, though
working for others now. earned very
liberal salary. Edith constantly de
clared that 1t was a relief TO be away
from the old follies OF fashion. Tbs

ArtfuI Old Man,

A gentleman, while walking with two
ladies through one of the principal
streets Of London, saw a beggar ap-
proach. One of the ladies, who had
evidently seen the mendicant before,
said:
''This is the most singular man |
ever heard of. No matter how much
money you give him, he always re-
turns the change, and never keeps
more than penny"
why, what a fool he must be-" re-
marked the gentleman. But I'll try
him, and put him to little trouble.
So saying, the gentleman pulled
from his pocket sovereign, (s5)
which he dropped into the beggar s
hat. The mendicant turned the coin
over two or three times, examined
it closely, and then, raising his eyes
to the countenance of the benevolent
man, said:
"Well, III not adhere to my usual
custom in this case. I'll keep it all for
luck; but don't dc it again.
The donor opened his eyes in aston
ishment and passed on, while the Ia
dies smiled with delight.

Y T THERE is one place on earth
more conservative than all the
rest, that place is the little Dutch
s island of Marker, in the zuyder
Zee.
There are only five hundred inhabi-
tants on the island, and all are, in
measure, related. For centuries no
stranger has ever been permitted to
settle and live there. So unfriendly
are the Markenites even toward tour
lists that an inn or hotel is not per-
mitted on the island. To stay all night
you must bride an INSCRIPTIONS Mar
kenite to let you sleep in his food
attic.
The people have an indescribable
even a Dutchman.
Although they can reach Amster-
dam in less than two hours by gaso-
line launch, the women never leave
the island, and the men leave only on
business
Their attitude toward the people of
Holland and the inhabitants of any
other country is one of antipathy and
strict isolation.
In addition to being the cleanest
people on earth, they are most peace
full No alien power has ever had
any perceptible influence on them.
Fashions Don't Change.
Fashions OF men and women do not
change in Marker. They are wearing
the same styles today that their great
grandmothers and great-grandfathers
wore. From infants to old women, all
dress alike. Women never wear mourn
ing, but add a piece of black material
either to the left or the right side OF
the sleeve, or to some part of the skirt
to designate the relationship to the
member Of the family deceased.
Boys and girls are dressed alike I'M
til they are six years old, and can be
distinguished only by button on the
cap of the boy, and rose ON the cap
Of the girl The sixth birthday is a
great event in the life of every boy,
for it is at this time that he dons his
corset and dress and puts on male
garb. The only change that girls
make in the mode of dress is that on
the day Of marriage corSets are laid
aside never to be worn again, and 1t
becomes stylish to wear many under
skirts This gives a hoop-skirt effect.
The men and the boys over six years
old habitually wear what Americans
would call boomers, and a loose plain
Jacket with q couple of gold or silver
buttons on the collar.
The Markenites are tall, heavy OF
frame. have eyes of blush gray. sand
colored hair, conspicuously poor teeth
and large lips, which they seldom
close. This description applies to ooth

candles. The customary hour of re-
firing is nine O'Clock in summer and
seven in winter,
There are no old maids in Marker.
Girls have only one sweetheart. Each
sutton is a Markenite. He has to be-
A girl could not be married on the
island to anyone else. And if she left
the island and married she would
never be permitted to return.
"Are you adept at fishing" This Is
the only thing a father asks when a
Young man is seeking his daughter in
marriage. If he can qualify in that
respect, personal likings are not con
sidered.
Unless engaged young woman is
never seen promenading with a young
man. After the announcement of the
engagement it is perfectly proper for
the couple to walk wherever they
choose holding hands-in fact, that
is the custom.
There are no secret or broken en-
gagements on that island Of queer Gus
toms and traditions. The Markenites
have an engagement rite. The young
man and his affianced sit up all night
with large candle lighted on the
table between them. After the house
is closed, the parents leave the couple
each in a straight uncomfortable chair
ON either side of the table. Not word
can DO spoken until the candle has
burned and gone out. The assumption
is that they must be sincerely in love
or they could not endure the ordeal
When the sun has risen, the respective
parents drink boiled wine together
and the young man is welcomed into
the girls family. They are then con
sidered engaged for good and all.
The people have married and inter
married for so many years that they
are not only becoming degenerate, but
there is scarcely a family on the whole
island which does not have at least
one member suffering from tubercu
losis. They have been able to endure
as long as they have because the great
er part of their time is spent outdoors
in the sunshine.

Q
Blu GEORGE E. COBB

Copyright, 1916. by w. G.. Chapman.)
SISTER of sorrows; welcome, thrice
welcome"
They were balm to a weary soul
seeking sympathy and rest, those fer
vent, sincere words. She, to whom
they were addressed, did not resent
the designation. Her proud lip trem-
bled slightly, the clear steady eye
was swept with a momentary shadow.
Then Helena Briefly was the COM
posed, queenly, perfect woman she al
ways was to the outside world.
Hers was a tragic story. Within
a single year she had seen a Iuxur-
ious home and regal fortune slip
from the control of her credulous,
easy-going father, the prey of sharp
ers. Then he had died, her mother
had followed him within two weeks
and Helena was left alone in the
world.
Her beauty was of striking type,
her manner one of impressive woman
liness and dignity. Her knowledge OF
ceramics made of her an expert, and
she secured a paying position in the
studio of a firm catering to a high
grade clientele.
And then Helena met the romance
of her life. The only man who had
ever attracted her, Walworth Trav-
ers, became her fance. He proved
false. More than that; in moment
of temptation he appropriated money
that did not belong to him. Repent
ant, cOntrite, he died in prison cell
year later and the romance OF
Helena's life was ended.
She settled down to a dreary, love
less life. All that was precious
to the heart Of sensitive wom-
an had passed her by and left her
stranded amid the bleak, barren des-
ert of despair. She lived on, she
worked on, with but single CLEAN OF
sunshine. Somehow, an old school
friend sought her out, one she had
| known as Edith Manniere, now Mrs
Percival, happily married, with two
children and longing for the company
of the dearest friend she had ever
known.
1t took Mrs Percival a full year to
win Helenas consent to come to their

Their houses are ell pretty much
alike. There is never more than two
rooms downstairs, a dining room which
is also kitchen, and a living room and
bedroom combined. There is always
fireplace of old blue tiles. From the
rafters hang jugs, dried fish and hams.
The Markenites are not meat eaters.
The ordinary diet consists of fish
cod or herring-dried peas or beans,
and cheese. The cheese is made of
goat milk.
The people use the street as a sit
ting room. Outside the door of each
house is a bench, where the house
wife knits wooden socks and Jackets.
