With the key in his pocket they
retraced their stops toward the
heart of the city and entered the
cafe, while the conviviai Don Al

tickled their sense OF humor.
Toast Ends Dtsastrously.
In fact he had been relating a
ruse whereby he had persuaded the
group of stolling singers to pause
before the patio of his rival and
there sing the song that had so
aroused the anger OF Don Julian.
Applause had acted on his rising
spirits like the wine he now slipped,
and. seeing Ernesto seated with
the Englishman. he forgot his good
breeding and, holding high his
glass. motioned to the young Span
lard and said, in voice loud
enough for all to hear:
Gentlemen. I propose toast
to a melancholy young lover"

A WEAK and inert physique

Warden Codding. Of the Kansas

the matter of physical strength
and as to knowledge OF how 10 use
their hands and bodies in the per
formance OF work, they are ike
whining children.
1t is necessary to put them under
an instructor before they can use
the simplest tools with any degree
of intelligence; and it is necessary
to keep them long under training
before they are built up physically
sufficiently to do an ordinary days
work. Weak. bent and depleted In

parents attempt to develop their

Her heart ached so that she felt

confide in the only woman friend

self and added
'T will do whatever John thinks

Good child." her aunt approved.
Then, to her niece's surprise, the
undemonstrative New Englander
dropped a kiss on the round cheek

TF Julian's lot was torture, the lot
of the young wife was torture,
too. Brought up in ssclusion,
never having had TO face the stings
and arrows of the world. she now
found herself despised by the only
man she had ever cared for. Could
punishment be greater? Despised
for deeds of which she was inno-
cent, even in thought, and censures
that no word of hers could clear
away the mist that had blotted her
husbands vision with false images
and accusing phantoms.
Ernesto, the poet, and his mill
tary friend did not go directly to
the cafe. Wickersham had been
doing some rapid thinking: II
seemed to him shame that this
young man should be shipped of TO
South America to satisfy the ma
licious tonguse of gossip. He thought
he saw way to hel phim and at
the same time to free Julian OF his
presence.
Ernesto Urged to Stay.
"See here. Ernesto,' he said, in a
smooth way, ~ have an idea that
it's going to cost you pretty penny
to get to South America. Now why
don't you stay right here and keep
at work on your writingT
"Where?" asked the young man.
"Well, there's a little studio be-
longing to a friend of mine that
you can have for 4 song-fact 10.

And what-what do you think

Ernesto, hesitating TO put into
words his real meaning.
II think the effect would be bet
ter than the other way-you re-
main here-you are not afraid OF
anything-you have done nothing
wrong-and to secure perfect free

could anything be simpler, more
natural?

Ernesto was in love with Teodora
Wickersham was enough of a stu
