thing like this.
do YOU want to break your own
heart as well as Alvin's?" Alicia asked,
cuttingly.
My heart isn't broken" Nancy
said contemptuously. 'It would take
more than that to break It,"
"Oh, no IL wouldn't" Alicia said
cody, and ii your heart isn't broken
your faith and trust are gone, and
you're planning to have nothing more
to do with love, isn't that it? Now,
let me tell you something. You're be-
having like heroine in melodrama.
What happened between Alvin and me
amounts to nothing at all. It's YOU he
loves. and / knew it all the time,
but what are few kisses? Surely,
Nancy, you are going to be sensible. y
Then you don't love Alvin?" Nan
cy's tone should have warned Alicia
il was so full of horror.
Certainly not. but I'm in love with

and imagine any man. Alvin hap
pened to be the man just then, that's
ALL"
oh" Nancy's slim hands went
out in gesture of disbelief "l didn'
know women could be like that"
And yet only the night before she
had told Alvin that in her belief wo-
men loved as strongly as men and
were therefore as greatly tempted. Eut
faced with Alicia's admission, Nancy
began TO back-watcr. The only iusti
fiCation for intmecieS of any kind
between n man and Il woman was love
Nancy could have forgiven Alicia glad
ly il she had confessed her love for
Alvin. As it was, Nancy's faith in
everything was shaken. and she hard
ly knew which way TO turn.
She got rid of Alicia at last who
finally threw up her hands in char
acteristic gesture and called Nancy
"a sentimental little fool"
Il don't believe you really love AL
vim. ! don't think you ever loved him
or you wouldn't give him up as easi-
ly as this" Were her parting words
But Nancy had loved Alvin. She
had loved him as youth loves, she
had pinned her dreams TO him, and
because Of him all life had seemed
wonderful. Around him she had WOW
en- her ideals, and to have given him
up cleanly and honorably TO a woman
he had loved and who loved him would
have been as nothing compared tc
what had actually happened.

And Nancy had listened while he

rs that all
The man stared.
"All Isn't that enough? You're
jealous, Nancy; that's why you won't
be reasonable. l tell you it was moth
ing but the madness OF the moment,
it was an unfortunate thing that
swear to you will never happen
again
But it would happen again and she
had told him so. She knew now that
he had no principles, that a moonlight
night and a pretty woman would be
sufficient to rob him for the moment
of all thought of her. She could see
into the future as though it had
been an open book for her to read. She
could see hundreds of sceres like this.
scenes where he would come TO her
charming and penitent, asking for for
giveness, and promising her that 1t
would never happen again. And each
time she would lose more of her faith
until finally there would be none at
all left. AS It was she had lost it all
at once. and she was thankful for
one thing, that she had found out
about him while there was time. Sup.
pose she had married him and found
out afterward that he was not to he
trusted?
And 80. this is the end The mans
voice hardened. For silly quixotic
idea, you're going to put me out of
your life, is that it?''
perhaps that's ii, although /
shouldn't call il a silly, quiXotic idea" "
Nancy's voice was low. AT that mo-
ment she was very near to tears. She
could have cried for the loss of her
faith, not because she was losing AL
vim. Youth is a hard judge and Nan
cy was very young. Love to her was
composed of many elements, the least
OF which was passion. Perhaps If she
had loved Alvin passionately enough
she would not have judged him so
harshly. AS it was she looked at him
with unflinching cold gray eyes in
which there was no pity.
With a broken sob Alvin had caught
her 10 him. Nancy. Nancy, | can't
lose you. | want you. I'm willing to
go on my knees TO you, I'll promise
you anything If you will trust me
again. And you love me- dear | know
you love me. Love doesn't end like
that, all in "A minute. Nothing you say
can make me believe that"
But Nancy had pushed him away.
Would you have forgiven me If you
had come upon me in some other
mans arms?" she had asked levelly.
Gould you have trusted me again if
/ had called II moment of madness?
No, Of course not" AS she saw his
| face.
But that would be different; wo'
men haven't the same temptations as
men," he had returned lamely.
And Nancy, without the slightest
idea that she was voicng great uni
versal truth. had replied hotly:
II don't believe that. Women can
love as deeply as men, then why
aren't they as greatly tempted?"
You're talking about things you
don't understand, Nancy" Alvin had
said quickly.
But it's true; it's true" said Nam
cy wildly. And she was right, II was
true.

RIDDING COUNTRY OF RATS

THE official, OF the State al Oklahoma and many
newspaper publishers made campaign in this
state last spring or the destruction OF rats. People
generally it seems, did not wake up 20 the work,
some however did and much work was done toward
riddng the country OF these pests but taken as a
whole, the campaign was failure.
Usually when people see story in newspaper
about the presence OF rats and recounting the harm
they do they ieel that the question is too small
to be entitled to their attention and they pass the
matter up withou; reading or without thinking,
There are some people in this city who are now
doing what they can 20 rid their premises OF rats.
Some OF these rodents have been caught that are
almos; eaten up with disease. They are nasty. they
arc dangerous, they are numerous, they subsist
largely on food that belongs to man. They ought
to be destroyed, Every home should have its rat
trap Every citizen should do something toward
riddng the country OF rats
