STORY BEGIN AT ANY 1ndB Her Side---and His How Cora and David Marital rrop,.u.
 BECKLEY
Each to His Own Path

Probabl ythe Strongest-minded fe- male ever born treasured d secret wish 10 be dominated by some man. Doubt less the successful business woman never lived who was happy in having more success than her husband. No woman lives for power alone. She wants love. And love implies protec- tion: protection implies forces of character which in turn generally car- ries with it a big share of this worlds goods. .5
 Janet never, even to herself thought of her husband as failure. Womar- wise. sne raised him to pedestal of strength and triumph. He was work ing along lines he had marked out for himself; and that showed a meas ure of triumph. And he would--of course he would, in time. Janet per sistently told herself-set his feet high on the ladder of success.
 But she was impatient. Her path had always been the commercial path, steep path enough, but one which had the steps ready cut in it. Oppor- tunities had always been waiting for her, like foot-holes in a rocky wall. She had never had to make her own opportunities, slowly and with infin- 1le ldDOI
 Janet had grown a bit comme ercial minded. Fat salaries had been a part of her opportunities. It was just a little hard for her to understand the writing temperament-its longing for expression without compromise. For have not women for centuries had to compromise with their own hearts and their own minds in order to be what their world approved of and called being a success?
 If Janet had analysed her exact feeling toward Walt in the matter of his refusal to write the serial story as Nicoll wanted him to write it, she would have called him unreasonable. Exasperatingly and stubbornly unrea- soma ble.
 Would 1t hurt him just to change a few things in the story to conform to popular opinion and taste? Could it hamper his career as a writer to do just one story for money? Wouldn't he gain enough by little compromise to do just as he pleased in future stor- ies? Having a plump bank balance would in itself give him confidence Snd dash, and make his success the more soon and certain.
 But no! He chose to sacrifice every thing comfortable to his fanatic ad- herence to principle! Well. then, she, Janet, would subordinate all other things to HER WORK! She would make it her love and her refuge, her ambition and her reward! She would have no ideal save Success. It was

MAKING IT PLAIN

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim to protect the public by preventing mis-statements on the labels of prepa- rations but some people continue to accept "extracts" of cod iveys think ing they will get the benefits of an emulsion of cod liver oH.
 The difference is very great. An "emulsion" contains real cod Aye, oiZ, which has had the hearty endorse ment of the medical profession for many years, while an "extract' is a product which contains TO o1l and is highly alcoholic.
 Scott's Emulsion guarantees the high est grade of real Norwegian cod li,'ev 0il, skilfully blended with glycerine and hypophosphites. Scott's is free from the false stimulation of alcohol and is en- dorsed by good physicians everywhere.

 terion theater. New York city, where it has been received with heartiest &C., claim at two dollar prices. Different reviewers vied with each other in proclaiming 1t the greatest photo achievement the world has ever seen, and all of them united in the judg ment that it was better than "The | Birth of a Nation," the crafts previous l high tide achievement.

enough to have Walter burning out his life and strength on the altar of Principle! As for herself. she pre- ferred something more tangible, some- thing that PAID better!
 For a time these thoughts re- malned imprisoned in Janet Stedman's S subconsciCus mind. It would have been better if she had spoken them, even scolded and spat them forth, as
 the light-mir ded, loose -tongued type of wife would do. Being bottled up,
 they gradually drove Janet in the di- rection they tended-that is, away from Walt.
 Less and less did she think of him, and more and more of the powerful successful. opportunitysiving man so constantly in her vision, Roy Nicoll.
 Fewer and fewer were tho happy eve-
 nings at home that Walt and Janet had so loved while ago. Both now were engrossed in work that someho ow they did not care to talk about. There seemed an urdercurrent of differing opinion. Walt rarely spoke of his
 wife of the stories or plays he was at
 work on. Janet almost never consult
 ed Walt about her affairs in her
 Realm Supreme. the office.
 Without appearing ever to step one inch from his regular course, Roy managed always to be about when
 Janet needed counsel. His ear was eycr ready to listen to her problems: his advice was invariably kind. keen and encouraging. Janet always, had renewed sense of success and stlmula- ton after she had talked with him.
 She was so astonshed at her own undreamed- of capabilities that she eN- claimed one day to Nicoll: Isn't it wonderful, Roy, how it's turned out! It was such a risk, my taking this big job! I never believed I could swing it. It's the luckiest thing that ever happened in this world!"
 Roy looked into her eyes moment and then said with a certain slow, inn pressive lowering of the voice: No, my little girl. it isn't wonderful. Nor was it a risk. Nor lucky thing. It may seem so to you, but not to me. I k-N-E-W! It was no gamble. no mere luck l thought it all care fully out. You simply did not know your powers. nor had you any chance to upset them.
