broke down, the tears came, and she
ran into the house precipitately, leav-
ing her friend without warning, and
had good cry.
"Oh, it was shameful" she told her
self, when vexation and the womanly

to the first outburst. True, they were

this had become unmistakable.

and immovable as marble. Half dozen
times she wrote and tore up a note

fairly cruel

not read the note Of dismissal, disdain

wraps and left the house like some

II was at busy corner that Althea
came across the first mail box How
her heart fluttered as she opened the

the fatal missive poised. Even there
she debated.

But Althea only uttered little cry
of concern and dismay, as man hur-

had vanished by the time she had fair

from her fingers into the box.

"Oh, dear"

Copyright, 1916 by W. c. chapmanJ

Gerald Holmes was what the world
called a successful man. At fifty he
had won place in the estimation of
his community. He was rich, a wild
over of several years standing, and
the father Of grownup children. And,
like many successful men, he knew
that life had been for him failure.
His marriage had been happy
enough Hardly anyone knew, and
none of his own children knew, the
story of his early love affair with Lii
liam Huntley. They had been class
mates at college. they had loved each
other since they first saw each other.
They were engaged to be married as
soon as Holmes had established him.
self in his profession as a scientific
engineer. Often in afterdays, when
he was called from end to end of the
great continent to achieve success at
this profession where other men
had failed, Holmes would recall how
he and Lillian had fought over those
problems together in her little room,
where she, with her trained mind, was
able to aid even him, the first in the
class at the university
Their lives had had such prospects
of rich fruit; they were so perfectly
satisfied with each other, that Holmes
had always felt their Joy was to be
snatched from them. Lillian fought
for five days against pneumonia.
Tomorrow will be the crisis" said
the doctor
But when the crisis came Lillian
could not withstand it.
He was called to her bedside in her
last hours. The struggle for life had
ceased, and her beauty, her strength,
her faculties were going out swiftly
on the ebb-tide
Il want you to be happy, Gerald"
she whispered. And, seeing the look

BOBOLlNK BEING WIPED OUT
"Sportsmen" Accused Of Practically
DISCRIMINATING This Sweet-Singing
Friend of the Farmer.

Years ago the bobolink was a not
ing bird in suitable sections of north
ern New Jersey. Today there is lit
tie evidence that its status in the state
embraces more than semi-yearly visits
during spring and fall migration
periods.
The reason is not far TO seek. I'm
der the name of reed bird" it has
been classed as a game bird and its
shooting permitted under the laws of
the state during the months of Sep
tember, October November and De
cember. The present regulations I'M
der the federal migratory bird law
shorten this open season 10 the months
of September and October, but they
are subject to change at any time at
the behest Of the gunners.
The wonderful song OF the bobolink,
that prince Of songsters, therefore. is
rarely heard now hereabouts. The
demand OF a few marsh gunners for
the legal right to shoot this bird of
valuable insectivorous habits out
weighs the agricultural interests and
the esthetic pleas in its behalf That
Incompatible rollicking melody is
hushcd over all the New Jersey mead
ows, because this bird, without a
single attribute Of a game bird, is
claimed by a few pseudo sportsmen
as exclusively their own.-Exchange.

died, and he lived with his children

work of a highly remunerative and
national character At fifty his life's
interests had closed. He did not
know what to do with himself. His
eldest daughter wanted him to marry

to the house but she soon saw that
her father did not look upon her
scheme with approval.

Amusement, mingled with scandal,
greeted this action on Holmes part.
His new ward excited the bitter ami
mostly of his own children. They
guessed that he was infatuated with
Laura Dean. When he spoke of send.
ing her to school, they imagined it
was to fit her to take her place at
the head of the household
For a month he kept her in his
home, but then the mutual recrimina-
tions became too strong, and he sent
her to a boarding establishment for
young ladies'. During that month,
however, Holmes had satisfied himself
that Laura was by no means bad.
She was naturally a woman entitled
to the good things of life. The
pinched and tawdry environment of
her home had been impossible for a
girl Of her type.
Her temper was violent, yet some
times, when they were alone togeth-
er, Holmes would see the old look of
Lillian in her eyes And it seemed
to him that this girl was Lillian re-
born on earth. Once he questioned
her.
do you know the name Lillian
Huntley?" he asked
The girl looked amazed, almost stu
pefied. The look of Lillian, the love
Of Lillian shone in her eyes and was
reflected in every feature.
Il seem to remember it," she muir.
INJURED, passing her hand across her
forehead
Holmes was sure then. But would
she remember? If he gave her the
advantages that Lillian had had
would she come to know him as her
destined lover, destined through all
the ages? He resolved to try the ex
pertinent
The school to which he sent her
was special one, guaranteed to in
culcate refinement among the chill
dren of parents who had suddenly
risen in the world. When Laura came
home at the end of the first year, with
excellent reports, although she was
considered little headstrong, Holmes
found that she was as well bred az
his own daughters.
This only increased the i'll feeling
They thought their father was going
to marry her at once. But Holmes
had other plans. He meant to send
Laura to the same university that Lii
liam had attended, that her dormant
soul might be awakened there.
And 1t seemed unnecessary to speak
of love, because the calm and stead
fast eyes OF Lillian seemed always in
Lauras face, and their love was toe
real to require utterance.

Holmes was counting the days until
Lauras return. He meant to ask her
to become his wife. He had no antici-
patton of a refusal. His children,
after protracted quarreling, had
talked of leaving him. Holmes did not
care He felt that he had resumed
that early life which Lillian's death
had broken off. Only two weeks re-
manned till her return.
He read her letters. Affectionate
they were, such as a daughter might
write to a father; yet Holmes read
something dearer into them. In his
infatuation he could hardly wait for
the time to expire
That evening a telegram was put
into his hand. He tore it open, while
the messenger waited; and, as he did
so, he felt a sudden chill foreboding.
1t read as follows:
Professor Murray and | were mar
ried this afternoon. Dear father, Will
you send us your blessing
The man, retaining full self-control
in that moment of stunning shock,
penciled God bless you as | do,
upon the form. Then he turned away.
And it came to him then that life Is
for living and not for dreaming. Lii
liam, if she had ever come back to
him, required his strength. his cogni-
ton, to make her know herself. He
saw that she was lost to him in life
forever.
But afterwards he saw. with a great
gladness, that love was never lost,
and that what part Of Lauras person
aIitv had been his would remain his
forever.

Among Holmes civic interests was
that of the Girls home, He was sit
ting in his capacity as chairman of
the board when one OF the inmates
was brought to him. She was a girl
of about eighteen, and apparently in

irons story as the girl stood sullenly,
with downcast eyes, before him.
She was not bad, but wayward.
Her parents. poor laboring people, had
never been able to control her She
had a passion for finery, and had been
caught pilfering from one of the de.
