in window alcove, partly drawing the
heavy curtain behind her.
That Betty Allison should arise out
Of her past to block the road to safety
Betty Allison, who would know her
at glance, and whose curiosity was
sure to have outlived her marriage
into the British nobility. Now there
would be no escaping Betty without
giving q detailed explanation of her
presence in London and at the wedding.
Priscilla could actually hear the rapid
fire Of questions-Where are you
staying? With whom are you travel
ing? Who brought you here?
From behind the friendly shelter Of
the curtain the girl peered out, waiting
nervously for the propitious moment.
At any time the Nice Man might come
back with the strawberry ices and then
it would be too late to run away.
The high American voice sounded
more and more clearly, the figures Of
the woman and man appeared outside
Of the wide open doors Of the morning
room. In another moment they would
have passed; but during that moment,
Lady Betty perceived q low divan
ranged against the wall directly oppo-
site the open doors and paused before
it, with laughing word to her COM
panion, who, nothing loath, sank upon
the low seat beside her.
Lady Betty's voice had sunk to a
murmur. 1t gave place now to the
lower, deeper murmur of mans voice,
q voice much too fervent for mere
society nothings. Really, Lord Kilrose
should look after Betty. The voice
suddenly achieved nonchalant light
ness. Some one must be coming down
the hall. Priscilla's prophetic soul
announced the Nice Man; and when she
looked out, cautiously, there he stood
in the doorway, his eyes searching
the empty room, his face an eloquent
study in disappointment.
The couple on the divan were watch
ing him idly.
Priscilla debated the situation. She
could not stay there in the alcove
indefinitely. She certainly could not
go out and meet Betty. Perhaps, il
they grasped the idea that there was q
tete-a-tete scheduled for the morning
room, a fellow-feeling or a desire for

Survival # the Fittest.

An Ex-Governor Of Georgia, and
ex-officiO and expert on hogs, was
invited to judge the swine at an Indiana
county fair. He looked over the pens,
and the choice narrowed down to two
hogs, one a magnificent animal Of
the Indiana corn-fed variety, of tre-
mendous weight, and the other lean
and rangy specimen, whose pedigree
must have embraced large number Of
razorbacks. The Governor, after an
appropriate judicial interval, pinned
the blue ribbon on the rangy one. A
friend nudged his elbow.
Governor" he said, "there's been.
some mistake. Look at the weight Of
that other hog"
"Son, returned the Governor, "down
in Georgia we've got different ideas
about iudgin' q hog. The ability Of
the hog to outrun a darky counts just
six points. The rasorback keeps

abundance Of documentary evidence
as to his honesty and uprightness.
They had not been long at sea when
they encountered rough weather, and
the man with the written recommen-

a bucket in his hand, was swept over
board. The other hand saw what had
happened and sought out the captain.

though he talked Of himself, man
wise, the talk was only Of his tastes,
his beliefs, his dreams, and held no
hint Of his name or occupation or
rank.
Funny how little one knows what
an hour will BRING" said the Nice
Man, quite as earnestly as though
he had not been evolving a hopeless
commonplace. He was apparently
addressing paper cutter which he
had taken from the writing desk and
was lingering. -,
"a man goes along doing stupid
things; and then, some day, he starts
out TO do what promises to be more
than ordinarily stupid-and finds the
meaning OF life waiting for him just
around the corner"
II wasn't profound and the paper
cutter was not impressed; but the
mans voice was earnest and there
was seriousness about his mouth
and the eyes he lifted suddenly to
Priscilla had a look in them that was
not prescribed by the manual of
polite Irritation. The girl beside him
felt sensation that was novel even
in q day prodigal Of sensations. He
was nice. Oh, he was very nice; and,
if she were real guest-but she
wasn't. She was an IMPOSTOR!
II he knew how she happened to be
there he would despise her. English
men were such sticklers for the pro-
prieties-in their women folk-and
he was probably lord or something
else Just as sticklerish. Not for worlds
would she have him know-but, If
he didn't know, she would never see
him again.
He was looking at her. again, and
his eyes-well, they really were re-
markable eyes. She wasn't used to
men with eyes like those-such terribly
serious eyes, full Of all sorts Of dis
concerting. questions. They made her
feel dreadfully all-overish, happy and
unhappy and cold and hot and wishful
and afraid.
"I wonder" the man began, and
left the sentence hanging there for
moment. ~ wonder"
She wondered, too; but she did not
dare satisfy her wonder by waiting to
hear what he was wondering about.
Once again panic swooped down upon
her.
"Are there any ices?" she asked,
leaving his problem helplessly adrift.
The matter-of-fact tone and question
Jared him rudely out Of dreams into
reality.
"I-I fancy so," he stammered.
There was reproach in his face, but
Priscilla was ruthless and the instinct
of self-preservation was strong within
her.
"Would it bother you too much
TO get me one?" she asked, sweetly
polite, but wrapped in conventionality
as in q garment. strawberry, If they
have it. The rooms are so hot,
aren't they? It's q shame to send
you into that melee again"
"Not at all. I'm delighted"
He was civil but perplexed. The
change had come 80 suddenly. She
had seemed so kind. What had he
saidP What had he done2 Nothing;
but perhaps in another moment he
would have-and what right had he?
A sudden thankfulness ilumined his
face, and, as he turned away, it was
Priscilla who was puzzled.
Why should he look so relievedf
II was odious Of him. She almost
wished she had allowed him to 60 on.
She was half tempted to stay and
see what he could be induced to say,
but-a vision of confession and its
consequences rose before her. No;
she must escape while she could. She

Among mine own!'' This Shunammite
Knew all of rich content;
She knew that through the day and night
The roads forever went;
That they led to the city wall
Where merriment and moan
Were mingled in their rise and fall
She stayed among her own.
The many roads that lead away
Stretch far and fair to see.
On some the pipe and tabor play
And ring with revelry;
Down one the glow of glory waits
For him who fain would roam
The many roads that hold our fates-
They also lead us home.
The roads that tempt the wand ring feet
Lead on through scenes that change;
Lead on to where we long to meet
One face that is not strange.
Perchance they skirt the desert sand
Or meet the flying foam
But, lead to whatsoever land,
They also lead us home.
The Shunammite- twas hers to go
Where Jewels flashed as FIRE
Amidst the 'broidered garments glow.
Yet she had her desire.
The subtle harmonies that blent
In cadence round the throne
Dimmed in the carol of content
She heard among her own.
Among mine ownI' Where friendly eyes
And friendly hands are mine;
Where humble songs of pleasure rise
And there are bud and vine,
And honey bees to search the sweets
Upon the breezes blown
There, satisfied, the heart repeats
