troubled her.
Really if he were to continue in
this strain she would have to refuse
TO come out with him again, and
yet, as they suddenly shot out into
the sun again, his yellow hair gilt

that defed analyzing and which
frightened her with it's strangeness.
She took to wondering how one
knew when one really fell in love.

the little landing place and the boy

Going up the bank she stumbled
against him. Instantly she had
drawn away but he had caught her
before she could escape. Even then

a last desperate attempt to avoid
the truth, but the expression in his
eyes and the grim set of his lips
silenced her. Again that feeling
came into her throat, and then sud
denly she knew what it meant, and
and nothing else mattered.
Love silenced the mocking words
on her lips, and crept like a prodigal
into the blue eyes that had jeered so
often. A ray of sunlight suddenly
shot across the boys blonde hair,
and with Il little sob of surrender
she buried her head on his shoulder

now that you're face to face with
something definite, what do you pro-
pose to do about it?"
Nothing" she answered slowly.

I'm not throwing mud. It's a very
unfortunate state of affairs, that's

Advice to the LOvelorn
BY Beatrice Fairfax
Every Right to Happiness

Dear Miss Fairfax:
y young lady refuses to consider
marrige and insists on breaking her
engagement in the spirit of unset
tishness and generosity. She had
one leg amputated at the hip, and is
for the rest of her life confined to
crutches. Her finance insists on the
marriage. Who is right? We think
so much of your clear Judgment in
these matters and await your answer
with interest. r. r. S.
1t is perfectly natural that a wo-
man who has gone through this eX-
perience should offer her fiance his
freedom. Sensitiveness and pride
lead her to do that. But real love
and loyalty would naturally refuse
absolutely. If the girl were going
to be a cruel burden to the man she
loved she might be justified in con-
tinuing to insist But even on
crutches a woman of fine feelings.
unselfishness and generosity can be
far more of a helpmate to a man
than could a woman who had her
full quota of limbs and a distorted
soul. 1 think there is every reason
why love should be more important
than pride and why the girl should
marry and make a beautiful thing
OF the partnership on which she is
entering. She mustn't let herself be
afraid that only pity and chivalry
are influencing her finance. If the

ran away through dining room and

passionate protest that welled up
within her. She lay there, her face
buried in the pillow, until the sput-
tcring exhaust of the Abbey cruiser
growing fainter and more faint told
her they were gone.
She heard her husband walk
through the house once after that.
When dinner was served he was not
there. 1t was IL o'clock by the
timcpiece on her mantel when she
heard him come in, but he did not
come to their room. He went quietly

Trained to repression, schooled in
self control, Stella rose to obey, for
under the smoothness of his tone
there was the iron edge of COM
mand. Her heart apparently ceased
to beat. She tried to smile, but she
knew that her face was tear wet.
She knew that Jack Fyfe had seen
and understood. She had done no
wrong. hut Il terrible apprehension
of consequences seized her, a fear
that tragedy of her own making
might stalk grimly in that room.
Sitting beside n window, chin in
hand, her lower lip compressed be-
tween her teeth, she saw Fyfe. after
the lapse of ten minutes, leave by
the front entrance, stopping to chat
minute with Linda and Charlie
Benton, who were moving slowly to-
ward the house. Stella rose to her
feet and dabbed at her face with n
powdered chamois. She couldn't let
AIonohan go like that; her heart
cried out against it, Very likely
they would never meet again.
She flew down the hall to the
living room. Monohan stood Just
within the front door gazing irreso-
lutely over his shoulder. He took
step or two to meet her. His clean
cut face was drawn into sullen lines,
a deep flush mantled his cheek.

for making bread have been provid-

CLAIMS CENTRAL CAUSE
OF ANGERING HIS WIFE
Man Claims Operator Let Wife

Conversation.

Reidsville, Dec. 3.-One of the
most novel cases which has been up
for trial at Wentworth in many years
was that of Joe b. Faulkner against
Southern Bell Telephone and Tele-
graph company which was tried last
week before Judge w. ]. Adams.
The plaintiff complained that dur
ing the month of October. 1912. he
was telephone subscriber both at
his home and at his restaurant and
that during said month he was en-
gagged in conversation over the tele-
phone at his restaurant with lady
about matter of business, and that
while in the midst Of the conversa-
tion one of the lady operators in the
central telephone exchange in Reids-
Vile wilfully and wrongfully sug>
gested to the plaintiffs wife. Mrs.
j. b. Faulkner, that the plaintiff was
engaged in improper conversation
with the lady at the other telephone
and suggested that the PLAINTIFF S
wife listen to the conversation and
theroupon the lady telephone opera
tor connected the telephone in plain
tins residence to the line over which
the plaintiff, J. b. Faulkner. was
speaking in order that Mrs. Faulk-
ner might hear the conversation.
That Mrs. Faulkner listened to said
conversation and that on account of
the suggestion being made and the
connection of the said telephone
lines the plaintiffs wife became flu
rious with him and charged him
with infdelity and withdrew conju-
gal relations with the plaintiff and
that the plaintiff suffered in humilia-
ton and in his feeling and in the
loss of the society of his wife to his
damage in the sum of $4,000.
The defendant denied the allega
tions of the plaintiff absolutely and
completely and stated that nothing
of the kind ever happened
The jury after celebrating over
the evidence for twenty hours was
unable to agree, so a mistrial was
ordered by the court.
