wondered vaguely II Tony knew
the dreadful truth about his mother.
To be officially found. then to dis
cover that his mother was luna
ltic-dangerous with homicidal
tendencies such knowledge
would be q shock to him.
From the drift of, the conversa-
.tions I gathered that Tony did not
know. He seemed to take It for
granted that his father was a
widower.
Yet fragments OF old conversa-
lions came back to me. Tony had
on more than one occasion inform
ed me that Mr.. Travis Lloyd was
not free" to court me- He was
doubtless following up his clues
at that time, and suspected the ex-
istence of a wife somewhere.
But. now that things were all
being cleared up, his new-found
father was probably delaying the
evil hour in which the truth must
inevitably come out.
"It would be a boon to them all
81 the poor soul would die" / told
myself. remembering with a little
shudder her attacks on me-her
wild face-the horror that her
presence caused me.
1t seemed too crul that a kindly
soul like Travis Lloyd should have
such a dreadful skeleton in the
family closet.
From various remarks he made,
1t was apparent that Mr.. Lloyd was
going to act towards the scape-
grace with the utmost generosity.

MAKING THE BEST OF THINGS.

All of US recognize. in theory at
least, the wisdom OF making rhe
best of a bad bargain. Unfortu-
nately, however. not many people
are philosophical enough to apply
this common sense remedy to their
problems when they find themselves
in an unpleasant situation.
Yet there is no other magic more
potent TO turn defeat into victory,
and change the cup of wormwood
and gall into one flowing with milk
and honey. For when we cease to
rebel at our lot, and set about ex-
tracing all the joy possible out OF
it, we have conquered fate.
Old Man Trouble packs UP his
wares in his little kit-bag and ashs
from the face of the individual who
get what he likes.
1t may be conceded that no. many
of us get particularly alluring
bargain in life. Heredity, environ
ment, chance, wish on us many
things we would not have chosen
for ourselves IL we could have
dickered with destiny for our place
in the sun. But the vital matter to
US is that the trade. such as it is,
Is made, signed. sealed, ami de!iv-
cred
We are bound by 1t, and il rests
with us whether We go bankrupt
over it by grouching over its un-
fairness and our general lack Of
luck. or whether we make the best
OF 1t, and wiring happiness ani sue
cess out-of it.
Tho Daptla Of -.
of bad bargain is one that women,
in particular. should devote them
selves to acquiring. 1t is not a
spontaneous talent with Ihe tair
! sex. On the contrary woman's nat
ural bent is to cherish her sorrows,
and coddle her grievances, ard to
generally extract every drop Of
| misery that is possible out of every
| situation.
That Is what gives us so Iaany
| disgruntled and peevish and disron-
| tented women. Their trades in life
have not turned out to be all that
they fondly anticipated, AMI they
have not the wisdom or the courage
to make the best of thei- bad bar
gains.
Yet in that lies their only saliva
tion. A woman, for instano., viii
go about with the air of a martyr
complaining that she is Inhappily
married because her husband does
not understand her higher latIrc,
and sympathize with her soul
Nights. She despises him for a
grounding because his chief inter-
est in life is the grocery business,
and his most thrilling topic of con-
Versation the price of sugar
From her point of view she has
made disastrous matrimonial bar
gain, but will she find any profit n
WEIGHING on It? Will she mlSe a
better trade next :ime IL she ie-
turns her commonplace business
man to the divorce bargain table,
and picks out literary or artistic
mate?
Observation answers emphatically
no. She will find that no man is
nawless or meets all the require
ments of any woman. One Is quite
as Hsely to be dissatisfied with n

Learn to Swim.

Have your boy and girl learn to
swim, and regardless of your age,
learn yourself. 1t will prolong life.
There are practically eight months
Of the year when one may swim out
OF doors, and if you are a city dwell
er you have access to the public and
private pools the year round. The
Romans thought so highly Of SWIM
ming as an art that they ranked it
with letters: and 1t was a common
phrase to mark one i'll educated ana
good for nothing that he had neither
learned to read nor swim.
Swimming not only brings into
play all the muscles but il is a
splendid breathing exercise. It de-
velops the chest and trains down
the muscles of the thighs and abdo-
men. That much-to- be -deplored Cir
die Of fat that encircles the middle
aged like a life preserver, is never
to be seen on the swimmer OF any
age. The mild friction given the
skin when immersed in water gives
the several million pores a chance to
throw off impurities and gives the
whole capillary system opportunity
for activity. The result Is a clearer,
higher colored skin, brighter eyes
and a generally youthful appear
ance.
There may be times when SWIM
ming will actually save life. We are
surrounded by an element in which
men can not live but upon which
man can support himself II he has
learned to do so. The world war
brought to the attention of all jusl
how few American soldiers were
swimmers and of the many occasions
when swimming was an absolute
necessity. The large percentage of
UNIT turned down by draft boards
would undoubtedly have been les
sened had those boys been swim
mers.

The history of its origin is purely
religious. The mother of the
Blessed Virgin vas called Anna,
though from what tradition is not
authentically known. st. Anne il a
patron saint of Prague where a
large festival Is held in her honor
every year. In 1854 a decree from
Rome made a similar feast obliga-
tory in France, where the saint wa 3
supposed to have made an appcar-
ance, and out of this rose the fash
ion of combining the rames of the
Blessed Virgin and her mother.
Thus Anne Marie or Marianne be.
came one OF the most Popular FEM
inine names on the continent.
Mariana received especial vogue
and was sometimes contracted to
Mamma. In England Shakespeare Is
resp onsible for much OF the popu-
lnrity of Mariana. since he twice be-
slowed the name upon characters in
his rlays. Mariana was the de-
serted wife of Angelo in Measure
