suavity. In truth Conward, having somewhat recovered from his fright was in rather good spirits. Things had gone better than he had dared to hope. Elden was eliminated, for the present, at any rate, and now was the time to win Irene. .' .....
 She stood before him, flushed and vibrating and with flashing eyes. You're lying, Conward," she said de- liberately. First you lied to him, and now you lie to me. There can be no other explanation. Where is that gun? He said I would know what to do with it."
 q have it." said Conward, partly carried off his feet by her violence. 'I will keep it until you are a little more reasonable, and perhaps a little more respectful"
 'Trene," said Mrs. Hardy, "what way is that to speak to Mir. Conward? You are out of your head, child! Such a scene, Mir. Conward! That COW pgncher! I always knew it would come out some time. Oh, if the pa pers should learn of this !"
 That's all you think of," Irene re- torted. "A scene, and the papers. You don't trouble to. even wonder what was the occasion of the scene. You're afraid of the papers. I'm not. I'll give the whole story to them tomor- row. I'll tell that you insulted him, Conward, and how you stood there, a grinning, gaping coward under the muzzle Of his gun. How wish had photograph of itI" she exclaimed, with little hysterical laugh. Tt would look fine on the front page" She broke into peals of laughter and flushed up the stairs.
 In the morning she was very sober and pale, and marks of distress and sleeplessness were furrowed in her face. She greeted her mother with cold eivility and left her breakfast untouched. She gave part of her breakfast to Charlie; it was a saving balm to her to have someone upon whom she could pour affection. Then she went to the telephone. She called Dave's office. Nothing was known of Mir. Elden; he had been working there last night; he was not down yet. She called his apartments. There was no answer. Then she tried q new num- Der.
 Hello, is that the office of the Call? Will you let me speak to-"
 Her mother interrupted almost fran tically: "Irene, you are not going to tell the papers? You mustn't do that Think of what it means-the dis grace-a shooting affair, almost, in our home. Think of me, your mother"
 "rll think of you on one considera- tion-that you explain what happened last night and tell me where Dave Elden is"
 'I can't explain. I don't know. And I don't know"
 And you don't want to know. And you don't care, so long as you can keep 1t out of the papers. I do. I'm going to find out the facts about this, if every paper in the country should print them. Hello! Yes, want to speak to Miss Morrison"
 In few words she explained Dave's sudden disappearance, stripping the incident of all but vital facts. Bert Morrison was all sympathy. '"It's a big story, you know" she said, "but we won't think of it that way. Not a line. so far as I am concerned. Edith Duncan is the girl we need. A sort of adopted sister to Dave. She

 may know more than any of us"
 But Edith knew absolutely nothing; nothing except that her own heart was thrown into a turmoil of emotions. She spent the day and the evening downtown, rotating about the points where Dave might likely be found. And the next morning she called on Irene Hardy.
 In spite of all efforts at self-control she trembled as she pressed the bell. She had never met Irene Hardy; it was going to be strange experience, introducing herself 10 the woman who had been preferred over her and who had apparently proved so unworthy of , that preference.
 She had difficult things to say, and even while she said them she must fight a battle to the death with the | Jealousy of her natural womanhood. And she must be very, very careful that in saying things which were hard to say she did not say hard things. And, most difficult of all, she must try to pave the way to a reconciliation be- tween Dave and the woman who stood between her and happiness.
 Irene attended the door, as was her custom. Her eyes took in Ediths face and figure with mild surprise. Edith was conscious of the process Of a quick intellect endeavorlng to classify her-solicitor, music teacher, busi- ness girl? And in that moment of pause she saw Irene's eyes and strange commotion of feeling surged through her. So this was the woman Dave had chosen to love!
 No; one does not choose whom one will love; one loves without choosing. Edith was conscious of that; she knew that in her own life. And even as she looked this first time upon Irene she became aware of subtle attraction gathering about her; she felt some thing of that power which had held Dave to single course through all these years. And suddenly a great new truth was born in Edith Duncan. Suddenly she realized that if the steel at any time prove unfaithful to the magnet the fault lies not in the steel but in the magnet. What a change of view, what a reversion of all accepted things came with the realization of that truth which roots down into the bedrock of all nature "Won't you come in?" Irene was saying. Her voice was sweet and mu- sical, but there was a note of sadness In 1t which set responsive chords a-tremble all through Edlths heart.
 "I am Edith Duncan" she managed to say. 'T-I think have something to say that may interest you" .--...
 There was a quick leap in Irene's eyes; the leap of that intuitive femi- nine sense of danger which so seldom errs in dealing with its own sex, and is yet so unreliable a defense from the dangers of the other. Mrs. Hardy was in the living room.
 Wont you come up to my work shopT Irene answered, without change of voice, and they ascended the stairs together. 'I draw little," Irene was saying, talking fast. "0h, yes, I have quite commercialized my art, such as 1t Is. But I haven't lost my soul altogether. I daub in color a little-yes, daub, that's the word. But it keeps ones soul alive" She trembled, and her voice choked; she put out her arm to chair. When she turned her face there were tears on it. "Tell me-Edith," she said. You know"

thousand hands to him-hands of habit and association and customs of mind-all urging him back into the old groove; all saying: ''The routine is the thing. Be spoke in the wheel i; go round with the rest of us."
 "No," he reminded himself. "No. I can't do that. I have business on hand. First-to kill the wolf"
 He remembered that he had given his revolver to Irene. And suddenly she sat with him again at the tea table. Where was he? Yes, he had given his revolver to Irene. We'll, there was another in his rooms.
 In the hallway of the block in which he had his bachelor apartments Dave almost collided with woman. He drew back, and the light fell on his face, but hers was in the shadow. And then he heard her voice.
 "Oh, Dave, I'm so glad Why, what has happened?" The last words ran into little treble of pain as she noted his haggard face.
 "You-Edith?" he managed to say. Whatever"
 She came toward him and placed her hands on his. "Pve been here a hundred times-ever since morning ever since Bert Morrison called up to say you had disappeared-that there was some mystery. There isn't, is there, Dave? You're all right, Dave, aren't you, Dave?"
 'I guess I'm all right" he managed to answer, "but got job oman inn portant job on. must get it done. There is not time"
 But her woman's intuition had gone far below his idle words. "There is something wrong, Dave" she said. "You never looked like this before. Tell me what it is. Tell me. Dave. Perhaps lean help." .t. ,e
 Dave was silent for a moment, watching her. Suddenly 1t occurred to him that Edith Duncan was beauti- ful. .,...ses. -
 If she had not quite the fine features of Irene she had certain softness of expression, a certain mellowness, even tenderness, of lip and eye; certain womanly delicacy-
 Edith" he said, you're white. Why is 1t that the woman a man loves will fail him, and the woman he only likes-stays true?" .#~
 "Oh!" she cried, and he could not guess the depths from which her cry was wrung. "I should not have asked you, Dave" she said. 'I'm sorry"
 They stood moment, neither wish ing to move away. "You said you had something that must be done at once," she reminded him at length.
 '"Yes," he answered. II have to kill a man. Then I'm going to join up with the army"
 Her hands were again upon him. "But you mustn't, Dave" she pleaded. You can't fight for your country then. You will only increase its troubles in these troubled times. Don't think I'm pleading for him, Dave, but for you, for the sake of us-for the sake of those-who care"
 He took her hands in his and raised them to his shoulders and drew her face close to his. Then, speaking very slowly, and with each word by itself, Do you really carer" he said.
 "Oh, Dave"
 "Then come to my room and talk to me. Talk to me! Talk to me! For

1t is no easy thing to be
The offspring of a famous sire;
Though poets sing of ancestry,

And Homer. laurc1led by his race,
lBurdened the nan who took his

The rocks. of ancient glories weigh
; In somberness upon the LAND
Which wears the name of Greece

Men will not see and understand
That living hearts are just as brave
AS those long m%ouldered in the
grave.
The modern Homer sings today,
Yet few will pause to hea his
song; .E-s
The Spartan courage holds at bay
The tyrant with his forces strong,
Yet still this bitter phrase is said:
mot like the glory of the dead"
Through countless ages, long and
grim,
Tho Greek has fought for free
dom's crown,
Yet little praise is given him
Dusty and old is his renown:
Though other races rise to fame,
Dead elories all his courage claim.
1t is no easy task to be
The followers of a giant race,
Too much the world expects to see
From those who come to take its
place;
And yet I venture here to say;
There are great men in Greece today.
