Nina Suaitt sat in her bedroom and
cried over a letter,
1t was nine IN the evening. On the
morrow she was To become the bride
Of an English nobleman. Niscount
Addiseigh vas a very cstimable young
man, very shy, and obviously half in
love with her. But both had been
dragooncd into the marriage.
The days had gone so fast since the
engagement that Nina had had little
time to regret. 1t was not until Jack
Tremont'S letter came that the flood
tide Of memory came sweeping back
on her.
Five years ago they had been all
but engaged. He was poor artist
then, and there had been n terrific
scene when her stepmother learned of
her friendship for the young man, and
Of the little Suppers at Renti's, where
they had had such gay parties OF
young BOhcmianS. Ii had been a
glimpse into the wonderful world for
the girl, which closed down abruptly
when she had not the strength to go
her own way.
She had not seen Jack since that
last parting, when she had promised
to write to him. And all that was
five years ago.
Her fathers death had followed.
Her stepmOthcr, worldly woman,
only wanted to get the girl off her
hands. She had been touted shame

well, Nina was To marry him on the
morrow.

that he was dining alone that night at
the little table in RENTS, which they
used to occupy, and that he would be
remembering her.
The house was very quiet. Every
one had gone to bed early in anticipa-

morrow. The girl peeped out of her
room. How easy it would be to es-
cape for an hour or two, to fly to Jack,
to spend one last short hour with him,
before the drab life ahead of her be-

She trembled; and then, with those
memories of the past, she could resist
no longer. She slipped on an old dress
and hat and coat, and softly made
her way down the stairs. She shud-
dered as she saw the roses that had
already been entwined along the BAN
listers. heralds of a joy that was never
to be hers.
Half an hour later she entered
Renti's. And her heart leaped as she
saw the well-remembered figure, soli-

In the midst of the gay crowd. And
the years that were past seemed like
a dream to her.

SNOW WHITE

Ever since President Wilson issued
his proclamation of war against Ger
many We have been scanning the
papers closely TO learn whether or
not the Guardians of Liberty had
rendered their services to Congress
The enormous amount of printer S
ink they have used during the past
year to let the American people know
of their tender sOlicitude for the wei
fare of Old Glory had filled our hearts
with great expectations.

roles in this great picturlzatiOn of

characters in this wonderful story,
which thrills the childish heart and
makes such a strong appeal to the
imagination of the adult All the
tender memories of childhood come
tripping to the mind when Snow

of Marguerite Clark and we realize
as never before the beautiful truth
in the famous lines:

The headlines made her reel. She
snatched Il paper from the boys hand.

fire engines were unable to control it.

There was no further word between
them. She Sprang on car and Jack
took his seat beside her. But many
yards from the house the cars were
blocked in the jam.
The house was blazing ruin. Men
were searching within it vainly for
her. Nina heard the words that passed
among the crowd. "All safe but the
