DEAD FIRES
BY John P. LeaVitt
So
When Lizzie Broughton refused
Dan Lewis because. she wanted a ca
reer upon the stage and duly left her
fathers house in North End for New
York, Dan moped for a while. Then
he took off his overaIs and laid down
the pillow and announced that he, too,
was going to New York-nOt to seek
Lizzie, who had duped him, but to
carve out a career likewise.
His appearance was made at spas
mOdic intervals, and he always came
home in a new suit and seemed par
ticularly flush with his money. But
on none of these occasions did he
hear anything of Lizzie.
It was not until the summer of
1915, five years after her disappear
ance, that Lizzie returned. Her ia
Their was dead, and her mother, who
had been notified by wire, prepared to
welcome the prodigaI daughter.
Behold Miss BrOughton in the most
stylish Of gowns that staggered Main
street, seated under a tree upon the
lawn and entertaining her girlhOod
friends with stories of her success on
the stage!
It happened that Dan came home
at the same time, and, calling on Mrs
BrOUghton, met his old sweetheart.
The guests laUghingly made a ring
around them and the two, after an
uncomfortable moment, shook hands
In that moment all resentment died
out of Dams heart, and he deter
mined to make more of himself so
that he could some day hope to win
her again.
Dams story was known to every
one. He had secured a place in the
Phoenix Insurance cOmOaOV and

a good many theaters in New York
and he had never heard of Miss
BroughtOn.
Pm sure I congratulate you" he
said to her, and any touch Of doubt
was swept away by the frankness of
her smile.
Thank you" answered the girl.
And my congratulations to you
also"
They had both planned to leave by
an early train the following morn

ing. Dan had perforce the task of
seeing Miss BrOughtOn aboard. When
the train had started and North End
was only a memory, the girl turned
to him and said:

ing the truth about MYSELF"
Dan was startled. 81 own did sus-

Monocles Becoming PonnIar.

London-Since the beginning OF the
war the cult of the single eyeglass has
been spreading slowly but significantly
-'monocles are becoming fixed in the
public eye, as one newspaper says
There has never been a great demand
for monocles." says London optician,
but certainly We have sold more than
usual in the last few months. The
fashion seems to have declined in the
army and our chief customers are men
just over military age.
why do men wear monocles? Tn
the single eyeglass confers
distinction on the right sort of man.
but scarcely one man in a thousand
can sustain the distinction
ITO wear monocle successfully a
man must be perfectly dressed. A
