I'm proposing marriage, he SAID,
with his quaint, one-sided smile.
please listen: l came to this place
to make a quick end to my troubles
but I've changed my mind about that,
now. What's happened in this room
has made me see that nobody has
any right to-hasten things. But L
mean to leave the country-immediate-
ly-and let death find me where it
will. 1 shall leave behind ME name
and q little money, neither of any con-
ceivable use to me. Will you take them,
employ them to make your life what
it was meant to be? It's Il little thing,
but it will make me feel q lot more
fit to go out of this world-to know
I've left at least one decent act to
mark my memory. There's only this
far-fetched chance may live. It's a
milliOn-to-one shot, but you've got to
bear it in mind. But really you can't
lose"
"Oh, stop, stop!' she implored him,
half hysterical. '"To think of marrying
to benefit by the death of man like
you-!"
you've no right to look: at it that
way" He had wry, secret smile for
his specious sophistry. you're being
asked to confer, not to accept, favor.
It's just an act of kindness to a hope
less man. I'd go mad if 1 didn't know
you were safe from a recurrence Of
the folly of this afternoon"
"Don'tI" she cried-"don't tempt
me. You've no right. You
don't know how frantic am. :"
II do" he countered frankly. I'm
depending on just that to swing you
to my point of view. You've got to
come to it. 1 mean you shall marry
me-"
She stared up at him, spellbound,
insensibly yielding to the domination
of his will. 1t was inevitable. He was
scarcely less desperate than she-and
no less overwrought and unstrung;
and he was the stronger; in the ma
tural course of things his will could
not but prevail.
The last trace of evening light had
faded out of the world before they
were agreed. Darkness wrapped them
in it's folds; they were but as voices
warning in black and boundless void.
Whitaker struck a match and ap-
piled it to the solitary gas-jet. A thin,
blue, sputtering tongue of flame re-
vealed them to one another. The girl
still crouched in her armchair, weary
and spent, her powers of contention
all vitiated by the losing struggle.
Whitaker was trembling with nervous
fatigue.
"WelI?" he demanded.
"Oh, have your own way" she said
drearily. eff it must be :"
Its for the BEST" he insisted OBJ
stinately. you'll never regret it."
"One of us will-either you or l."
she said quietly. "It's too one-sided.
You want to give all and ask nothing
in return. It's FOOLS bargain
He hesitated, stammering with sur
prise. She had a habit of saying the
unexpected. "a fools bargain'-the
wisdom of the sage from the lips of
''Then it's settled" he said, business
like, offering his hand. "Fools bar
gain or motifs q bargain"
She rose unaSSisted, then trusted her
slender fingers to his palm. She said
nothing. The steady gaze of her ex-
traordinary eyes abashed him.
They left the hotel together. Whit
aker got his change of a hundred dol
lars at the desk-"Mrs. Morten's" bill,
of course, included with his-and

the SheereSt fabrics or laces.
There is nothing prettier for the
short bOudoir or breakfast coat than
either plain or printed crepe or soft
silk, with the limpest of silk lace
draped over it. Tassels or pendant or
naments made of silver or gold cloth,
and ribbon, as always, are found in
company with these materials.
Two pretty caps are shown in the
picture given here. At the right an
open-meShed silk lace with crepe de
chine make the cap, and small chif-
fon roses add touches of color to it.
The lace is caught back lat each side
of the face by them. Small flower
like pendants on silver cord are made
of silver tissue, and they furnish and
weight the hanging ends of lace. This
cap is very easy to make, for the
lace and crepe are basted together and
given to the hemStitcher to be set to-
gether by machine stitching.
The cap at the right is made of a
net-top lace, with the plain edge frilled
about the face and the escallOped edge
overlapping the plain edge of second
strip of lace. At the crown of the

To hang out clothes in winter: Make
a convenient clothespin apron, and q
little while before hanging out the
clothes put the pins in the oven until
well heated through. Then tie on the
apron and put the hot pins in the
pocket. These keep the hands from
becoming chilled and the work Of
hanging out clothes is more easily and
quickly done.

rosette. The cap is as simple as can
be. A border of narrow satin rib
bon is stitched to the net top of the
lace, about two inches in from the
edge, to form casing for small fiat

frilled on it. At the back rosette

Patience conuuers All.

Life is filed to the brim with little
disappointments and irritating trifles,
but if we learn to keep our patience
under them they cease TO irritate and
disappoint. On the Other hand. If we
become impatient every time we are
crossed in any way we soon find more
and more things to become irritated
about.

Puttino Yourself in His Place.

1t is said that Il big man always
makes big mistakes. He is moving
rapidly one way or the other TO big
results. There are some, on the other
hand, who never seem to be in any
trouble and who never seem to be OF
great moment to the world. They are
never led up into the wilderness of
temptation for the same reason that
they arc never led up into the mount.
Their talents are buried in sluggish
ness. They do not have enough strug-
gle in their lives to breed enthusiasm.
Like the Laodiceans, they "have need
of nothing" and they are often in
clined to sit in judgment on those
whose active, moving careers are filled
with deeds of wrong as we'll as with
deeds of right.-Christian Herald.

GEORGE MOORE EXPLAINS
MUCH DISCUSSED NOVEL.

Many conflicting interpretations have
been given Of George Moore's new novel.
'"The Brook kerith." Some commenta-
tors say that he Is merely being sensa-
tional, others hat he has made a serious
attempt at contributing valuable re-
search to history. others see only his
attack on Christianity and "A fourth
group holds that "The Brook kerith"
must be Judged as art and art only.
II Is interesting to have Mr.. Moore's own
explanation Of his purpose. He says:

tiers. one portrayed in the Sermon on
the Mount, and the other In certain well
known passages In Luke's Gospel: You
