fits dint in the white flesh. Then he
struck with all his might.
The Thing IN the coffin writhed I;
and hideous, blood-curdling screech
came from the opened red lips. The
body shook and quivered and twisted
in wild contortions; the sharp white
teeth champed together TIL the lips
were cut, and the mouth was smeared
with crimson foam. But Arthur
never faltered. He looked like a fig-
ure OF Thor as his untrembling arm
rose and fell. driving deeper and deep
er the mercy-bearing stake, whilst the
blood from the pierced heart welIed
and spurted up around II. His face
was set. and high duty seemed to
shine through II: the sight OF It gave
us courage, SO that our voices seemed
to ring through the little vault.
And then the writhing and CULVER
Ing OF the body became less, and the
teeth seemed To champ, and the face
to culver. Finally It lay still. The
terrible task was over.
TERRIBLE TASK At
LAST Is ACCOMPLISHED.
The hammer fell from Arthur's
hand. He reeled and would have
fallen had we not caught him. The
great drops OF sweat sprang from his
forehead. and his breath came in
broken gasps. 1t had Indeed been an
awful strain on him: and had he not
been forced to his task by more than
human considerations he could never
have gone through with It. For
few minutes we were so taken IN
with him that we did not look TO-
wards the coffin. When we did. how.
ever. a murmur OF startled surprise
ran from one to the other OF US. We
gazed so eagerly that Arthur rose.
for he had been seated on the ground
ana came and looked too; and then a
glad' strange light broke over his
race and dispeued altogether the
gloom OF horror that lay upon II,
Inere. In the coffin lay no longer the
FOUL Thing that We had so dreaded and
grown TO hate that the work on her
destruction was yielded as a prIviIere
TO the one best entitled 10 IL. hui Iucv
as we had seen her In her life. with her
race OF unequalled sweetness and purity.
True that they were there, as we had

dear TO u.s.. for they marked her truth

that the holy calm that .ay Ike sun

was only an earthly token and symbol

on Arthur's shoulder, and said to him

The reaction OF the terrible strain
came as he took the old mans hand

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAN:
Ten men OF various ages have
argued long and loud aver a ques-
tlon and have been unable to
reach an agreement. This being
so. they havs decided to submit
the question to you.
We have been unable to decide
as to how old a man must be to
fall In love. Also how can real
love be recognized in oneself?
A. r. c. NJ.
SURELY you are not asking this
question in all seriousness. But
even II you merely want a little
chance to laugh. I am going to
answer your letter. Love Is no re-
speter OF years. Some men start
tumblinE IN when they are not even
yet promoted to the dignity of long
trousers and keep on tumblIng un-
til they sit in the chimney corner
as perfect eKponents OF Shake
speare's seventh age. The mau VINO
falls IN love frequently falls In
love lightly. Losing Amanda, he
can console himself with Bettina-
II she prove diffIcult-there's al
ways the rest OF the alphabet. Real
love ls, I think. unselhsh-less a
personal craving than a desire to
give happiness TO the other. The
woman for whom a man really cares
ls the woman he wants to see
happy-not the woman he begs to
make him happy. II there Is a girl
ior whom q man would be willing
70 challenge the world. to whom
ne wants TO bring the world and
from whom he would accept love
