Can Any Man of Thirty-Five Be
Heart Whole and Fancy Free?
By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY
Copyright, 1861

that his heart had never yet thrilled

my best to keep from doubling him.
There are some things men never
will tell the exact truth about, and
their experience in romance is one
of them.
Unfortunate is the man who belongs.
to nobody and has nobody who loves
him and belongs to him only. A man
may enjoy being a rover-at home.
wherever he may happen to hang up
his hat-yet he has the feeling Of
always being a stranger, that there
is no one to miss him when he goes,
no one who would be happy were he
to stay. If he is i'll or weighed down
by grief or care there is no loving
companion, no second self, to whisper
his hopes or fears to; no one who
cares whether he succeeds in life or
staggers along under his heavy load
and fails; no one who cares whether
he has a warm bed or sleeps out under
the cold white light of the stars.
Parents must go from a man in the.
course of time. Brothers and sisters
drift the whole wide world apart.
finding other heart ties, friendships
run their lengths and lapse, but the
wife of his bosom keeps close by his
side to the very end. The older he
grows the more indispensable she be-
comes to him.
The man of middle age pays him
self a doubtful compliment in declar-
ing himself heart-whole and fancy
free. Should this actually be the case
he should hasten to repair the dam
age at the earliest possible day. He
should not be wiser than he who has
said: ut is not we'll for man to live
alone"

CHAPTER XIII.
Dreams.

There were dreams on the great
plateau-unreal shapes which took
their airy substance from the stars
and from the white translucency of the
Arabian night. Richard Farquhar saw
them distinctly. In the first hours of
twilight he had believed them the pig
ments of his own pulsing, fever-driven
brain. And he had rolled over, hiding
his face against the hard soil, and had
bitten his lips bloody.
The melancholy hour between life
and death was over, and slowly, with
all the mysterious majesty of the East.
night led out her shining myriads from
the darkness into the waiting solitudes.
Only the sentinel of the hour stood out
as something living, tall rigid shadow
magnified by the silver ghostly light of
the stars.
The sentry had turned and became
suddenly an immense shadow. The
shadow bent over him and whispered:
"Are you awake, comrades"
Eyes, of course 1 am awake" he
said.
How are you? Are you in great
pain? Perhaps 1 could loosen the cord
little. Shall l try?"
mo, you will get yourself into trou-
BILE. 1 am all right"
Mother of God Your wrists are
covered with blood. The devilsl See
here is water. 1t will refresh you
You are brave man. You have not
cried out. If you had cried out they
would have gagged you. They gagged
countryman of mine out there in
Madagascar, and in the morning he
was dead. There, drinkr'
Farquhar turned his head away
Hitherto he had not been conscious OF
pain; now he knew it had been there
throughout, at the back of his con
sciousness-a white-hot soaring of his
muscles, a frightful crushing weight
hand that seemed to hold him by the
throat, choking the breath from him.
81 cannot drink"
He could not hear his own voice. ii,
was not even sure that he had Spoken
at all. The shadow of the sentry
seemed to envelop the whole earth
blotting out its own shape. But tn,
whisper went on. 1t sounded so clos,
to him that it seemed to have crep
into his very brain.

The Road to successvIIIe.

THE road to success-I speak OF
financial SUGGESTS rarely long and
arduous," said George w. Perkins in
one Of his brilliant Y. M. G. A. ad
dresses in Cleveland. 1T is, as q
rule, short and easy.
"A man nodded toward handsome
young millionaire and said:
"'He began, suppose, as an office
boy In the establishment, and worked
his way up, step by step, to his pres
ent management of the whole vast
business?'
"'Not at ALL was the dry answer

Sylvia Arnaud drew back. white and
trembling, the first indulgent good hui
NOR turned to an incredulous anger.
"Miss Smith, are you forgetting"
"That l am your paid companion?
No. But it is in your or my power to
make our status into that of absolute
equality-this moment if you wish. Do
you wish it?"
Sylvia stared blankly at the stern
white face of the woman confronting
her. Her anger had burned out like
straw, and she was now only fright
ened and little resentful.
IL don't want to lose you, Miss
Smith," she stammered. II know that
you do not care for me; but in YOU
strange way you have been friendly
and II am very alone. l have conf
dence in you. l am prepared to over
look the evenings outbreak"
THAT'S what you cannot and shall
not do" was the grim answer. You
have driven your husband to the verge
of madness, Madame Arnaud. and
through madness to crime-to the muir
der of a man who surely was ono,
dear to you"
Whom do you meanT

GABRIELLE interrupted the indignant
protest with a quiet decision tinged
with irony.

Sylvia laughed carelessly.
"That all comes too late" she said
you cannot plead to me for pity. An
justicel What justice dare you clair
for an outcast-a cheat, a man whor
all honest men shrink from-or for
dissolute roue who has not shrun
from murder? They have earned thei
fate"
Sylvia rose instinctively to her fee
and they faced each other in the silenc
of unrelenting antagonism. The littl
gr4y-clad woman turned and weT
quietly toward the door. For the frs
time Sylvia's voice sounded breathles
and anxious.
"What are you going to do?"
81 am going to act for you"
The door closed. Sylvia Arnaud ra
to it and, turning the key, set her bac
against it as though shutting out a
unreasoned, nameless terror.

A Pretty Neckpiece

A very pretty neckpiece is
fashioned of a wide, soft faille
ribbon, edged with a fringe of
ostrich fronds curled a little.
This is worn rather tightly
about the neck and fastened with
a large, fiat folded shaped pump
bow, outlined by the same feath-
er fringe. This bow is worn at
the back, the side, or where
ever it may be most becoming.

He got up quietly.
Nothing"
She hesitated, then glanced at Cab
rielle Smith with a pretty expressive
shrug of the shoulders, and passed
calmly out of the room. But the little
appeal had been ignored. Gabrielle
was watching the man standing mo-
tionless in the lamplight. After a mo-
ment she came up to him and placed
cup on the table near him.
''Your tea, Captain Arnaud."
He started nervously.

1t was very silent in the shadowy

there quivered the first signal of re

quietly.

Pork Chops.

The ordinary way of pan broiling
pork chops if well cooked leaves them
dry and tasteless. Place the chops in
the pan, add just enough water to
cover the bottom of the pan, and par
boil them without covering. When the
water has boiled away the chops will
begin to brown and will be juicy and
appetizing.
