left her one evening to go to his
home in another city, and, he avowed,
to inform his relatives Of his inten-
tion to marry. From that day to this
she had received no word OF him. The
children's home had burned down q
few days after his departure, but she
had remained in the town for two
weeks, expecting the word from him
that never came. Then, bidding fare
we'll to the hope and Joy of life. she
had gone to another place to teach,
and had tried to forget the man who
she believed had basely deceived her.
1t was vacation now. and she had
been glad when one OF her new fel-
low teachers, a Miss Neltnor had writ
ten her from Springville. The latter
told her that her cousin, Glare With
erell, was to be married. During her
honeymoon Miss NeltnOr had agreed
to take care Of the family home. She
not only invited Nella to the wedding,
but arranged to have her remain her
friendly companionship, and, besides.
Nella was glad to have the opportu-
nifty to save boarding expense for Q
full month.
She had arrived at Springville to
learn that the bridegroom was Clyde
Walton. The intelligence fairly
stunned her She had gone to the ho-
tel, crushed, sick at heart. undecided
what to do. Her impulse was to leave
the place at once. Some irresistible
influence. however, led her-now that
she would not meet her recreant lover
to see her friends. There was pres.
ent also a sad fascination about the
Witherell home where her successful
rival had lived, where Clyde Walton
had been. 1t might wrench her heart,
but she would hear from Miss Neltnor
all the details OF the wedding. She
would hear the name spoken OF the
man she loved. and she would be with.
in the atmosphere OF the event OF the
hour Nella dried her tears. took up
her travelling bag and started for her
original destination.
oh. my dear! why did you miss the
wedding?' were the first words Of Miss
Neltnor, as Nella was welcomed into
the Witherell house. Have you been
Ill? You look wretchedly pale and
depressed"
Nella made some evasive reply She
was glad when Miss Neltnor, having
chatted over the. pleasant month Of
comfort and companionship before
them left her to herself. having . lot
to do. she expressed it, in getting
things to rights after the fuss, furry
and confusion of the wedding.
Nella sat down, wearied, yet with
her nerves on q high tension. In the
drawing room where the reception had
taken place. The litter OF the event
was everywhere-herea . crushed rose

Here the man she had loved had

Idly few moments later Nella sat
turning over the leaves Of an album.
She allowed 1t to remain open at q
certain picture 1t was a photograph
OF Clyde Walton.
Her old lover. her false 'lover--how
natural the counterfeit presentment!
And here in this very room he had
gone forever out Of her life! Nella
could not endure the poignant anguish
that assailed her mind She arose,

which SO reminded her of her sorrow.

Nella from clearly making out a form

walter was transformed into a very
natural looking gentleman of the up-

Then he set about bribing the hotel
servants to learn the plans for the fu-
ture of aunt and niece. He ascertained
that they had arranged to sail for
home within a week. In the mean.
time daily the two ladies made their
pleasure and shopping rounds.
There was to he an international
social event that took the form of a

turned off into a side street. As it
ala so two suspicious occurrences
fixed the attention Of Walter. The
driver OF the former carriage swung
hand towards Nina's driver. while
the latter kept straight on without
turning.
Stop" ordered Walter instantly.
Get sign-no." returned his driver,
with shrug of the shoulder, and
drove on.
You scoundrel-this is some plot"
cried Walter. and sprang from the
vehicle and was down the side street
IN pursuit of the other carriage.
1t was well that he did so. The
days of brigandage were not over in
the imperial city. Later Walter knew
that the practically unprotected Nina
and her aunt had been spotted by
league of criminals. Her diamonds,
a knowledge of her wealth had
led to plan to kidnap her. remove
her to remote mountain fastness
and hold her for ransom.
Walter was hot in the wake of the
carriage as it drove into the court of
an isolated mansion. The driver
sprang down. He was about to apply
whistle to his lips to summon his
confederates within the building.
when Walter close at hand, acted.
He had seized a heavy piece of a
wagon tongue lying in the yard. One
blow and the villainous driver went
down like piece of lead Walter
lifted his senseless form up to the
seat. sat down beside him, took the
lines and drove for the nearest police
station.
The alarmed Nina fell to a chair
stupefied as, reaching the station, Wal
ter told his story. She glided to his
side with contrite face and pleading
eyes.
"You-you were seeking met she

with glad smile.

went through the luxury Of reproaches,
then tears, then contrition, then a
new plunge into happy reconcilia-
tion.
This time, however. the tiff was
serious. In a spirit Of reckless mis-
chief Walter had f1irted outrageously
with young lady whom Nina detest-
ed. In retaliation the latter received
the attention Of an old discarded
flame. Then the crisis-the pretty en-
gagement ring returned by mail, a
cold bow from Walter when next
Nina passed him On the street, and
the following day Walter was be-
wildered. shocked, made madly des-
perate with the discovery that Nina
and her aunt had left the city
Whittier bound he knew not, but by
the end of q week he was pretty we'll
assured that capricious Nina had in
deed started on trip abroad.
For another week Walter worried
and sorrowed. Finally he came to the
conclusion that there was no hope Of
a reconciliation and decided that 1t
was his fate to die OF broken heart!
1t was quite the fad for the idle man
with money to seek consolation In
change. He started for Europe by
way of New York Meantime, al
though he did net know that, Nina
had followed out her threat to travel
around the world by way of San Fran
cisco.
The war broke out while Walter was
In Paris and he changed his plan Of
visiting Russia. The same intelli-
gence was acquired by Nina while en-
joying the novelties OF Japan. She
learned that Berlin and Vienna were
now an impossibility to her. Her
timid. nervous aunt insisted on q
quick dash for Italy and speedy fur
ther progress homeward.
Walter Bross, installed in the best
hotel Of Rome. was gloomily wonder

A Lost Magic.

The magic of Wilson's name seems
to have lost it's power in the House of
Representatives. In spite Of an ur-
gent letter from the White House III
favor Of the bill to "scuttle" from the
Philippines, the Democratic caucus re-
vealed % recalitran. members who will
not support the measure. The bill now
seems to be on the rocks. Time was
when Wilson's nod swayed all action
on Capitol Hill-but that was before
the pie had been distributed and when
the Democratic majority was SO huge
that it required widespread revolution
to overcome 1t. With a more slender
margin now and with keener sense Of
responsibility now that national
election is at hand, Congress shows a
disposition to do little thinking on it's
own account.
We wish there might be more Of it.
No matter who Is President, 1t is not
a good condition Of affairs when the
White House can draft and pass all the
legislation. The Constitution Is a
sturdy and useful and sensible docu-
ment in spite Of the efforts Of those
who seek to make it appear that our
progress is hampered by constitutional
impediments. The three divisions into
which the trainers of the government
separated the national machinery
should be kept apart, as the fathers
intended. If it requires a political re-
volt within party to emphasize this
fact, then we welcome revolution, no
matter where it occurs.

The Horse or the Dog and the Boy

The Horse or the Dog and the Boy.
1t is worth considering. anyway.
this claim of M. v. O'Shea in the
June Mothers Magazine-the claim
that the horse and the dog form
vital part Of the education Of the boy.
He writes:
A great educator, who has given
special attention to the care and cul-
ture of boys, has said that no boy
could develop properly unless he could
1t is a sort Of education in itself Tor
a young boy to study the characterist-
les and habits of horse. and to learn
how to handle him. This experience
will teach the child as hardly any
thing else will do to control his actions
SO that he can manage his horse. ana
teach him to do what is desired ~
him. OF course a boy who has
horse should take care of him. In
modern city life young children often
have little opportunity to care FOR any
living thing, and SO they do not get
real ethical training. If child grows
I'D and never realizes that any one or
anything is dependent upon his action,
he is not likely to learn lessons either
of self control or of service.
The next best animal for a boy is
dog, especially a collie dog, which will
he very responsive to- the boys express
sions. A young girl will also be helped
by having a collie dog for a pet.
Watch children playing with such a
dog, and note all the adjustments de-
manded of them. They must make
quick and accurate perceptions. and re-
act quickly and definitely. Often
young child will prefer collie dog to
a brother or sister, especially when the
latter will not play fair in games.
A boy ought to have animals which
will give him an opportunity to ex-
press his boyish interests in vigorous
physical activities. as in wrestling and
competing in other sorts Of muscular
contests. The girl, on the other hand,
will be interested in pets which will
lend themselves to caressing and the
more gentle relations.
