north with you. You say you start to-
morrow? I think Mr.. Baynes will ac-
company you.
"Drop over in the morning, II you
please, and now good night, and thank
you for keeping watchful eye on
Meriem."
Hanson hid grin as he turned and
sought his saddle. Bwana stepped
from the veranda to his study, where
he found the Hon. Morrison pacing back
and forth, evidently very Ill at ease. :
"Baynes," said Bwana, coming di-
rectly to the point, Hanson is leaving
for the north tomorrow. He has taken
great fancy to you and just asked
me to say to you that he'd be glad to
have you accompany him. Good night
Baynes!"
At Bwana's suggestion Meriem kept
in her room the following morning I'M
til after the Hon. Morrison Baynes had
departed. Hanson had come for him
early--in fact, he had remained all
night with the foreman, Jervis. that
he might get an early start.
The farewell exchanges between the
Hon. Morrison and his host were of the
most formal type, and when at last
the guest rode away Bwana breathed
| sigh of relief. 1t had been an TN
pleasant duty, and he was glad that
it was over, but he did not regret his
action.
| He did not mention the subject again
| to Meriem, and in this he made snis-
take, for the young girl, while realiz-
ing the debt of gratitude she owed
Bwana and Ny Dear, was both proud
and sensitive, so that Bwana's action
in sending Baynes away and giving her
no opportunity to explain or defend
him hurt and mortified her. Also it did
much toward making martyr of
Baynes In her eyes and arousing in her
breast keen feeling of loyalty toward
him.

LEARNING TO FORGET BEAUTY
Difficult Lesson for Woman, Asserts
English Writer, In Describing the
Aged Queen Alexandra.

"There is no more difficult lesson for
woman to learn than that of learning
how to forget that she has been beauu-
full" writes clever English woman.
zone afternoon / saw Queen Alex
andra driving slowly in her open motor
through the gates at Hyde Park cor
ner. For the first time 1T occurred 10
me that this rarely lovely queen is now
an old woman nearing four-score years
of age. Perhaps she had forgotten TO
be alert, as is her usual custom, or per-
haps the heat of the day had fat1gueu
her. But at any rate there was
touch of tragedy in the thought tnat
Queen Alexandra is learning slowly,
but surely, that extreme beauty can
fade although the charm of person
atty can challenge the attack OF time'
II fancy it must have been the queen
mothers costume that brought this
idea most surely before me. She was
wearing a mantle or cloak made OF
some material in shade of iridescent
blue spangles with a close frilling OF
black lace all round the edge. Her hat
or bonnet was of the usual royal shape
and built of jetted stuff to match her
cloak, with a small white aigrette
standing erect In front
"Under ordinary circumstances one
would regard this quaint nineteenth
century toilet of the queen mothers as
characteristic conventionality, but
somehow on this sunny afternoon 1t
represented to me a sacrifice to the In
evitable."
