understood bargain between them, and
winked and even chuckled with lu-
dicrous solemnity.
And now, young man, to shoulder

The town was agog the next morn

shirt and bearing an ak over his sturdy
shoulder, started ito work" Mr.. Dale
owned pasture lot, at one end COW
cred by thick grove of trees. These
were to be sacrificed for their value as
fuel.
Shades were raised, curtains were
drawn aside, doors were opened a
crack. Feminine Wareham stared and
marveled. The fastidious, cultured,
luxury-reared Vance was compelled to
work like a common laborer! The
Dales had become poor! They were
no longer the society leaders of the
place! The cold shoulder of the
world was voted.
There were three houses that Dale
passed which were of peculiar inter
est to him. Since he had come back
from college he had been attracted by
three young ladies of the town. His
father encouraged him In preparing
the way to choose wife Eunice Will
lard was the most graceful, or rather
majestic, young lady in the place. She
had seemed to him the ideal of wom-
anhood. AS he neared her home Vance
saw her coming down the street She
noticed him, paused and quickly re-
turned to the house.
"A cut-a snub" rather bitterly So
liloquized Vance. "All right-father
said she was a fair-weather friend"
His face grew brighter as he looked
towards the home of Kitty Darling,
She was a sweet, kittenish piece of
humanity. She came bounding out to
the rustic gate, piquant and eager.
His heart warmed towards her.
ooh, dear Mr.. Vance," she prattled,

great misfortune of your poverty that

The Waynes, as he knew. were out
of town, but when they heard of the
Dale descent in the social scale of
course they would join the selfish
time-serving majority Vance felt
pretty bitter as he thought of all his
trio of charmers. He had aspired
most to stately, but warm-hearted,
Helena
Il must put her out of my mind" he
ruminated, although he thought of
her in solace.''
The peerless Helena floated in i'm
agery before him all that day. 1t was
a strenuous one. He came home at
night with blistered hands and lame
and strained muscles, but, oh, how he
ate and slept His soul awoke as he
learned early next morning that the
Waynes had returned. His heart gave
a great bound as at quitting time that
afternoon he threw aside his AK His
hands were a sight, raw ana bruised,

Masculine and Feminine Sins,

Hardly any priest, hardly any ply
stefan, would agree that women are
better morally than men. There are
some kinds of sin which men commit
more readily than women. Such are
the sins of lust, and possibly those
of anger. But there are others where
men and women seem to offend about
equally, the sins of gluttony, sloth, and
covetousness. And of the sins OF
pride and envy. one might call them
pre-eminently feminine sins.-Bernard
l. Bell in the Atlantic.
