Why Madge Regretted Her "Tilt'
with Allen Drake.

With a mental wrench my
thoughts came back at Lillian's
words to the urgent business" she
had mentioned, and I had complete
ly forgotten for the few minutes of
my colloquy with Allen Drake.
Her admonition to hurry" must
mean that only the time necessary
to eat Betty's promised special din
ner separated me from the. meeting
I so dreaded, the facing of the wo-
man who had wrecked my mothers
life, and who was now destroying
the hardly won tranquility of my
fathers old age.
I had swift qualm of conscience
over the undeniably fact that Mr..
brakes nonsense had been potent
enough to make me forget the Sc
rious purpose that had brought me
to Lillian's home. Then realized
that the little; mental parrying had
been just what I needed, that the
controversy had given flip to
my spirits, which had put in the
background all my nervous
tremors.
"But, I Didn't"
l squared my mental shoulders
with the determination to be
worthy of Lillian's faith in me, and
all her arduous work on the prob
lem confronting me, that Of saving
my fathers pocketbook and peace
of mind without his knowledge. I

Break Cake Over Brides Head.

1t is an old belief that marriage
should take place when the moon
is waxing and not waning. if it is to
be a lucky match, and in many
north country districts a strict
inquiry is made as to the state of
the moon before the wedding day
is fixed, according to London
answers" In the north, too, no
wise bride will ask an odd number
of guests to her wedding feast, for
an old superstition has it, that if
this is done, one of the guests will
die before the year is out.
In the Highlands it is taken a
terribly unlucky sign if dog should
run between the bridal pair on their
wedding day; while in Derbyshire

end OF the month will shows higher rate of
interest charged for carrying stocks on
margin than at any other time this year
Some of the houses, which have been
charging their customers 8 per cent,
have advanced to s per cent. Those
charging per cent. are in the majority.
II Is a common practice, particularly
among brokerage houses, to average the
interest which they have been obliged to
pay banks for accommodat lions during the
month and add l per cent. to It fo-
charges At the end OF last month sew
eral houses sent letters to their custom
ers advising them that the money rate
probably would be high this month AMI
that the interest rates would be in
creased. AS matter OF fact the none

brokerage houses have had 20 pay no

same in many cases. The high for the

classes of collateral, and was estab-
lshed on August %. The low was on
