MY DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


am afraid that when I wrote
you I left a little of the story out.
I did not do 1t on purpose. though.
1 can assure you Of that. In fact,
now I am glad that did. for it en-
ables me to show you more clearly
what I wish to know.
When you say that I am In love
with love you echo the thoughts
and the advice of many other
friends Of mine. No. l assure you,
that it is far from that. My
knocking-about days are over. and
am a settled young man Of twen-
ty-three. with every thing in the
world that I could wish for, except
for this one thing.
have seen her husband in the
West. He is a weak-looking man.
To tell the truth, he deserted her
after all that she did for him. He
Is at least kind enough to consent
to stay away so that she may get
divorce in another State. But even
after she gets the divorce she will
not marry me. He evidently has
killed every bit Of love and faith In
man by these beastly actions. How
can I restore that faith In man!
How can I show her that am not
like him? Every man is the same
to her; they seem to be all liars,
cynics, lovers Of love and faithless
wretches. Her mind Is made up to
marry no one. and as / know her
only too well. ! know she means
what she says. A man cannot love
with all his heart and soul knowing
no n q
will never be. He cannot think
and dream all his life and at the
same time see her day after day,
night after night, and know that
that is all 1t shall ever be. He can
20 away, though, and love and
dream and think of her to the end
of his days, but that would even
be torture. No matter which way
you turn there Is something that
steps in your way.
Which is best, Miss Fairfax, go
away or stay here and win her In
spite Of herself, something that Is
impossible, because I know. Do
not say I am giving up. 1 am
going to stick for another eight
months. have already been doing
everything in my power for the last
ten months. She admits that she
loves me. Everything that she does
is for me. / never met a more SEN
sible girl in all my life. 1t Is up to
you, Miss Fairfax. what shall j do?

are.
However, you don't seem to be
as badly off as your first letter
indicated. II the husband is will
ing to allow her to divorce him,
and she does so, l think you will
soon find your star in the ascend
ant. Constant devotion, fidelity,
and worthiness on your part will
restore her illusions, and she will
probably consent to take the plunge
again. She is going through the
inevitable period of depression af-
ter failure, but youth and nature
are very resilient, and she will un-
doubtedly change her mind as her
wounds heal The worst thing you

Remind Me to Pay the King
The Persian Said: Remind Me to Destroy the Greeks "

The Reverend DR.. woolfkin talking to the Baptists
told interesting story.
He began saying that those not regular church mem

Then he told how day when he preaching in the
Fifth Avenue Church he said that people drove to church in
an automobile who didn't give missions the price of
tire"
You are that there great value in apt
parison. If he had said simply MANY rich people give
nothing to missions that woudn have had its effect But
when he said many people to church in an automobile
that wouldn't give the Lord the price of tire the owners
of the automobiles paid attention They said to themselves
"How easily buy tires; how little care about paying
eighty dollars and tax for thirty by five

something for the Lord
The reverend gentleman continued:
''The next morning received check for one thou
sand dollars from man who was present. but not

want too many busted tires on the King highway
''Iater received another check from him for
thousand dollars and a letter asking to write him
year for four years to remind him. and he would
send like amount each year."

that he talking to automobile users asking them why

WHY A DOG TURNS ROUND.

CARL HAARDT gives a very
good answer to the inquiry as to
why a dog turns around three
times before lying down. 1t is:
In prehistoric days. when dogs
ran wild, not subject to human
authority. they used to turn
around to trample down the grass
so that their bed would be smooth.
That was the only way they had
OF making nice beds. Wolves and
other species OF dogs still do
this.
