Haynes bowed his head; the look of
utter detection was pitiable. But he
never spoke.
you gave up your practice" con-
tinued Mr.. Parsons. you turned over
all your savings to the man whom you
considered you had wronged. You
wrote him letter stating that you
meant to pay him fixed sum every
month for she remainder of your life.
All this was highly creditable to you"
N"Well?' queried Haynes, raising his
head and looking the banker in the
face for the first time 1T has hap

you have said is true. l never knew
how had come to make the blunder.
But l left New York and came to this

past, and live it down at least, though

That, too, was creditable."

Have ever wronged you?"

the banker, because l came to the
conclusion that you might have been.

blundered? My dear fellow, it was not
true; it was joke, a CHASTITY medical

Haynes stared at him as If he could

the man came in. Perhaps you rec

set in other molds than hers.
A few years with Charles, and, as
the father had said, the end would
come. At thirty-five he would be in
the prime of life; she, at forty-one,
middle-aged woman.
And the spell Of the past was on
her, and she knew that she, who had
loved in vain, could never hope to
make this new love hers.
She heard the footstep stop at the
door, which was imperceptibly open.
Charles had seen his father, or heard
his voice, and hesitated, not knowing
what course to take.
And in that moment the impulse of
remuneration came to the woman.
Yes, If your check is good / will
accept it" she said brazenly, stretch
ing out her hand to Hardwick's, to re-
ceive the paper.
ut is quite good said the father
complacently. you agree, then, to
leave town tonight in return for a
hundred thousand dollars, and never
to see my son again? Such an agree
menI Is, OF course, not valid in law,
but-well, you would find it hard to
break it, even if you wished to, which

Il shall leave tonight said Della
mechanically. And she heard the
quick gasp behind the door and then
the sharp sounds of retiring footsteps
Whos that? cried the father
quickly.
THE Janitor, suppose" said Della,
indifferently.
He rose. "Goodby, then" he said
with quiet triumph 81 am glad we
settled that so sensibly. And If ever
l can be at your service"
He was gone, and Della seized the
check and tore it wildly into a hun
dred pieces. Then, with flushed
cheeks and fearless eyes, she began
to pack.

JUST WHAT ARE "LUxURIEsY'
Detroit Newspaper Thinks Humanity
Would Be Injured If People Must
Use Only NecessarIes.

What are we here for, anyway
Simply to work? Would life be worth

day if all the world had for centuries
followed the principle that it was wis

The warning nations of Europe are
talking of raising the necessary means

"eccnomizing And there is now be-

that add to the JOY of living.
Verify economic necessity is revolu-
tionizing old formulas for the happi-
ness of the human race. In order to
procure cannons, one must eat less.
The demand for powder and shot,
warships and flying machines makes
it necessary that we should live more
like beasts and less like human be-
ings. What irony to be told that it is
the duty of all to forego 'luxuries"
in order to be better able to kill peo-

Instead of abolishing Injuries, how
much wiser it would be to abolish
war and war debts.-Detroit Journal.

DR.. GREENFIELD AT THE FRONT
Is Recuperating After Some Months
of Hard Work In the Military
Hospitals.

Doctor Grenfell of Labrador has
been spending few days in London
after three months hard work in the
hospitals at the front He is greatly
impressed by the patience, courage,
and selfsacrificing spirit of the men,
and is delighted with the wonderful
efficiency of the hospitals and the
general arrangements for dealing
with the sick and wounded He has
many stories to tell of the almost
miraculous operations performed by
his BROTHER surgeons.
Doctor Grenfell says it is amusing
to notice what a ridiculously small
thing will sometimes stop bullet.
He tells of one man who was shot
at when he was standing with his
hand on his hip. The bullet went
right through his hand, making a
clean and easily healed wound. The
difficulty was to discover what had
happened to it after it passed through
the mans hand until someone dived
into his trousers pocket. There the
bullet was found loose, having been
stopped by some coppers.

Many of the most dangerous trop-

Practical
Joke
By HAROLD CARTER


Before Doctor Haynes had been si1
weeks in Bishopsville everybody was
agreed that there had been some mys
terry in his life. Tongues wag in small
communities. Doctor Haynes lived
the life of a recluse; and even the
country people could see that his
knowledge was that of a practiced
city operator.
! There was the case of Mary Par
sons. the bankers younger child. She
was taken i'll with appendicitis on q
Sunday morning, in the small hours
and the nearest hospital was fifteen
miles away. The case was acute, q
journey in the car to the railroad sta
ton meant almost certainly death
Doctor Haynes operated in the bed
room, by the light of an oil lamp, and
week later Mary was sitting up IN
bed, playing with her dolls.

pretty twenty-year-old daughter.

wonder, DEAR" answered her mother.

family liked Haynes. Mary adored
