Advice to the LoveIorn
A Quiet Man

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
L am twenty-four and engaged to
man four years my senior. My
fiance is very well situated and is all
a woman could desire in a husband
as far as wealth, personality and
character are concerned.
My betrothed has always led a
quiet life, and has never shown any
desire to mingle with people.
cannot decide whether 1 can rely
on our love to bridge this gulf, or
whether 1T will mar our happiness.
Do not for a moment think I am
an unfeeling young woman, but, on
the contrary, consider me a thought
full and perhaps practical woman.
who hesitates for fear of bringing
unhappiness not only upon herself.
but upon her future husband and
children.
1 would like to have your advice
or opinion as to whether you would
marry this man.
D. F. L.
I think you are making trouble
for yourself, nothing more. 1 would
hardly advise a cultured and edu-
Gated young woman to marry a man
who was uncouth and ignorant and
who would shame her among her
friends, because for such q man she
would lose respect, and, falling to
respect the man she loved, she would
probably in time cease also to care
for him. You, however, have no such
problem. You like society, the man
you love prefers to lead a life of a
simpler sort. Tact and real affection
Will make each of you concede some.
thing TO the other and in that way
you will work out your problem.

the impotent little cries of Sheba
no sound broke the stiffness save
the crunch of their feet on the hard
snow, the thud of heavy fists on
flesh, and the throaty snarl of their
deep, irregular breathing.
Gid Holt, from the window of
the cabin, watched the battle with
shining eyes. He eXulted in every
blow of Gordon; he suffered with
him when the smashing rights and
left of Macdonald got home. He
shouted jeers, advice, threats, en-
couragement. If he had had ten
thousand dollars wagered on the
outcome he could not have been
more excited.
saltwater Peter, drawn by the
cries of Sheba, came running from
the stable. AS he passed the win
dow. Holt caught him by the arm.
What are you amin to do Pete =?
Let 'em alone. Let 'em go to it.
They got to have it out. Stop 'em
now and they'll get at it with guns"
Sheba ran up, wringing her hands.
stop them, please. They're killing
each other"
Nothing of the kind, girl. You
let 'em alone, Pete. The kids there
every minute, amt he? Gee, that's
a good one, boy. Seven-eleven-
ninety-two. 'Attaboy!"
Macdonald had slipped on the
snow and gone down to his hands
and knees. Swift as a wildcat the
younger man was on top of him.
Hampered though he was by his
parka, the Scotsman struggled
slowly to his feet again. He was
much the heavier man, and in spite
of his years the stronger. The
muscles stood out in knots on his
shoulders and across his bacl
whereas on the body of his more
slender opponent they flowed and
rippled in rounded symmetry. Ac-
tive as a heather cat, Elliot was far
the quicker OF the two.
Half blinded by the hammering
he had received, Gordon changed
his method of fighting. He broke
away from the clinch and side
stepped the bull-Iike rush of his foe,
covering up as we'll as he could
from the onset. Macdonald pressed
the attack and was beaten back by
hard, straight lefts and rights to
the unprotected face.
The mine-owner shook the matted
hair from his swollen eyes and
rushed again. He caught an up
percut flush on the end of the chin.
1t did not even stop him. The
weight of his body was in the blow
he lashed up from his side.
The knees of Elliot doubled up
under him like the blade of a jack
knife. He sank down slowly, turned,
got to his hand sand knees, and tried
to shake off the tons of weight that
seemed to be holding him down.
Macdonald seized him about the
waist and flung him to the ground.
Upon the inert body the victor
dropped, his knees clinching the
torso of the unconscious man.
"Now, Pete. Go to him!" urged
Holt wildly.
But before saltwater could move
before the great fist of Macdonald
could smash down upon the bleed
ing face upturned to his, a sharp
blow struck the flesh of the raised
forearm and for the moment stunned
the muscles. The Scotch Canadian
lifted a countenance drunk with
rage, passion tossed.
