But with unseeing eyes he strobe

Alone in her pretty chamber, she
confided smilingly to the radiant re-
Election in her mirror that "she

down into the big living room to
wait for Chester Merrick.
At S O'Clock he came for her. and
they set forth gaily toward the
skating grounds. Marcia's heart
beat fast with happiness.
Over the tree tops a golden moon

I'll make you care-give me a
chance, Marcia!"
She thrilled at his words, and
the look in his eyes. Here within
her reach was cup of Joy held
out to her-why not take it and be
happy? Even as she trembled with
desire, David's words came strange
~ back to her.

With an effort she shook off the
spell Of the man and the hour.

coldly; and he, seeing the change
in her, submitted with yelled i'm
patience.
The ice was thickly dotted with
happy young couples, when Marcia
and Merrick arrived at the meadow.
For awhile they mingled with the
crowd. Both were expert skaters
and as they glided in and out among
the throng, Marcia's fears slipped
from her and she was the gayest
lovelieSt of them all.
Merrick watching her, felt his
pulses leap and his determination
grow. He guided her away from
the laughing crowd, out where the
meadow Joined the river.
Marcia thought of David's warn

preached her gently.

Meanwhile that night, David had
closed his book in disgust. What
did it matter whether he became
lawyer or not. now that he had
lost Marcia ?" He had been a fool
to think she would ever care for
a cripple like him.
Rising, he decided to take q walk

Lord Crey's Compliment.
tSeW York World.

II the Republicans in the United States

Lord Grey's letter to the London Times, they

doris opinion that the honor OF the American
people will rise superior to any restrictions I'M
posed by the Lodge reservations upon the fuii
participation by this country in the League OF
Nations.
The former secretary of state for foreign
affairs tells the British people in effect that
the situation Of Europe is so desperate and
the cooperation of the United States in the
League of Nations is so vital that it is not
|. worth while to haggle over terms. II the
senate insists that the United States can enter
the league only as privileged partner only as
a limited member only under special conditions
such as no other nation has demanded for it
self, accept the reservations and trust to the
future For himself, he has no doubt what
ever that the American people will voluntarily
meet every obligation and discharge every
duty: that no matter what restrictions are set
up by the Lodge reservations, in practice the
United States will do a mans work in mans
world.
Lord Grey is not alone in the opinion that
he holds as to the future effect OF the Lodge
reservations upon American participation in
the league Many American supporters of the
league agree with him., although some, per-
| haps, agree with MIR. Wickersham that 1T

The Doubtful Wassermann.

Had a Wassermann blood test for
syphilis made and the report came
back doubtful" Would you call
that a serious case? How long
would it take to effect a cure?
]. A. X.
Answer-A doubtful" test is q
little worse than none. 1t means
nothing. One with syphilis should
be under his physicians treatment
for two years, at least; and when
the disease has been arrested he
should annually throughout Life

Tie Bees Are Blind Now.
Can you tell me anything about
Bee wine which so many people
are making from Blind Bees? You
take two tablespoonful of the Bees,
two of sugar. two of molasses, put
in a jar, add two of sugar each day
for two weeks. By that time it is
ready to drink. I tasted some and
it made my head feel queer. Kindly
answer whether it is safe to drink,
and whether it is a wonderful cure
for various diseases as claimed by

sorts Of interesting adjectives hitc
hitehed on, are crude, impure
form of yeast, which ferments su-
CARS, producing alcohol. The evil
stuff resulting no doubt would
make any normal head swim, and
as You know. booze has always been
