to take Lucien Delorme to Paris
began 10 move, when the door of
the compartment in which he sat
suddenly opened, and a woman
hastily entered.
She wore a large dust coat OF
gray cloth, lined with plaid; a long
beige veil, falling from her hat in
full folds. covered her face, and she
carried in her hand n small light
leather bag.
After taking out n book, she put
the satchel in the net, removed her

tailor-made suit, which was stylish
in spite of its simplicity.
As she seemed buried in reading
her novel, he could notice at his
leisure the harmonious regularity
OF her features. the luminous beauty
OF her large blue eyes, the golden
hair that seemed like q taugle IF
sunbeams over her forehead, tue
delicacy OF her hand. whose glove
she had removed to be able to turn
the pages of her boob more easily,
and the smalluGss OF her feet IN
their high laced fawn boots, which
her short skirt displayed.

LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Loved By a Widower.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Will you please help me to solve this
serious question Of marriage. my first
betrothal at thirty-tWo to man OF
fifty, = widower, who buried his wife
six months ago
am a girl earning $50 a month and
have a little nest egg In an Inherit
aDce that befell me, all Of which my
he declared love at first sight and has
so constantly pleaded loved and kept
on my track. that I hOpeiessly gave
in and said the fated Yes" Nov
plead to walt until ] am sure and in
the meantime this man is shoWerins
30 many courtesies on my mother ana
all relatives in general that at last
I begin to feel duty bound out OF ap-
probation to marry him.
Ny folks tell me he Is too old and
marrying me for a home and support
in his declining days, yet they are nice
to him and respect him, as he Is very
gsntlemanly and generous. Dear Miss
Fairfax, this has been going on only
four months, this perpIexing game. but
II is Stfli a puzzle Do you think ne
is sincere? Il some one cam only
answer this candidly-' for all my folks
think il impossible for = man to lay
away his mate for twenty-fOur years
of welded life and soar into love
again ike he does. And they do net
feel that IL is best for me, who has
everything financially, and he nothing.
He is pressing fer a speedy marriage
ONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW.
I should say that you alone can
determine the sincerity OF your
lover, and that you should take
plenty Of time to do it. Don't allow
yourself to be pressed and hurried
into a marriage against your will.
There may be many reasons in favor
OF your marrying this man, but Eais
until you are in love with him
Marriage should be a sincere, indie
pendent action, not acduiescence in
the wishes OF ones family, or even
OF ones lover.

Well, the next evening after supper
he commenced where he had left
OFF. He was telling them about Ra-

You see, the wicked witch mad

Rapunsel. so he had Ieaped from
the tower into a bramble patch and
had lost his sight.

As we came up to the poor blind
Prince he turned to us and said:

him about the wicked witch, and

We did. after lifting up Tom Thumb,
for he was so small he could not

set out to cross the desert. Tho
sun beat down and burned our
faces and the sand blew and blinded
cur eyes. but still we pressed for
ward, and after a long time we
came in sight OF an oasis.

Prince, on hearing her voice, shout

Then he leaped from Of his camel
and folded her in his arms. Ra-
puusel was so happy at finding her
