WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
AN ABSORBING SERIAL OF EARLY Welded LIFE

you ever heard Of the sacred in
stitution Of dinner?" ~
There stood Mr.. Haldane. At
his side. clinging shyly to his
arm, was Irma Warren. She
gazed about my office with the
complimentary little air Of be-
ing awe-struck, which makes her
seem so young and naive.
With the utmost pride and Joy

dear old chief-the man with
whom 1 began a happy working
career. How he and Irma got

roofs. And we wouldn't let them

acknowledgment that she con-

for friends such as these two. The

Save for the song, q golden peace
brooded over the Thames. A group
OF serene and hapy-looking people
sat under the upper awnings Of
"a Ieviathan of houseboat.
Lady Dunluce's ahousebost, Leths
double-decked. perfectly appointed,
and softly brilliant with flowers.
It was moored to the bank near q
grove of willows. The air was not.
and still; the westering sun dipped
behind purple hills and filled the
sky with glory. The river rolled
calm and CLASSY in the afterglow.
The music came from hired
two.pair skiff that was wobbling
ignobly down mid-stream. pulled
with splashing strokes by a loudly
dressed young man. A red-haired
girl lounged in the, bows, vol
uptously eating green.gages and
Tipping the stones at the oarsman.
On the after.thwart another Cock
ney youth, in a Leander blazer
and a straw hat with the Guards
colors, tortured the concertina and
sang in a nasal, sentimental voice
to a maiden in pink who sat In
the stern-sheets looking unhappy.
People like that" said a young
man on the houseboat languidly

Mottistont sprang from his chair
with a sharp exclamation.
They'll certainly drown them

said. by jove-see that? What
did I tell you?"
Two OF the people in the skiff
had suddenly elected to change
places. The man with the concer-
tina helped the girl in pink to ner
feet At that moment the oarsma n
caught a violent crab. and fell
backward. The girl in pink was
thrown off her balance by the
lurch. and. fell with a splash into
the river. The whole thing hap
pened in a moment.
The boat shot half a dozen yards
ahead. The oarsman struggled
franticsily to get up. the red-haired
girl screamed. The concertina
player, with a face of terro.,
launched himself headlong into the
water with a mighty splash. He
came up. yards short Of the girl,
and began to founder helplessly
and swallow large gulps of the
river.
Mottisfont tore off his coat in Il
twinkling.

BOIEs PENROsE

The Senate lost picturesque fig
ure when Senator Boies Penrose
died on New Years eve. 1t has
been said that had he lived in the
west, he would have been a greas
statesman. His time would not
then have been taken up considering
matters of patronage and the claims
of special interests. But even as il
was, his enemies will admit that he
was a great political boss.
Boies Penrose had all the advan-
tages of family, wealth, education
and natural ability He won high
honors at Harvard and was life
lang student Of history, political
economy. metaphysics and current
events. The fact that he was too
large to squeeze into theatre seats
caused him to spend more time in
study
Senator Penrose had the gift of a.
brilliant wit, though not. perhaps.

did not destroy his esthetic sense. As

HOW DID sTANNIE GET
THAT IDEA A?

If you read THE Girl, Horse
and Dog" we want to ask you ;
question:
Why did Stannie feel honor bound
to marry Lisette till he found she
was married to Percy? How could
he regard it as his duty to marry
her after he learned that she didn't
love him and he didn't love her -
after he had found the real girl
whom he did love and who did love
him?
OF course, we know why Mr.
Lynde, the author, causes Stannie to
think that way about it. Mr., Lynde
wants to create suspense as to the
outeome,-as to whether Stannie
will marry the real girl. Jeanne. That
is why Mr.. Lynde tries to make the
reader fear that perhaps Lisette will
claim Stannie when she finds he has
fortune.
If Lisette had claimed Stannie,
and he had married her, he would
have ben guilty of an objectionable
offense against at least three people.
in the order named :-himself, Lii
settle and jeanne.
When the story began, both Stan
ME and Lisette, were, so far as ap-
pearances go, cracked-brained near
idiots. But all the circumstances in
the last half of the story-with one
xcept:on-proved that Stannie was
a fairly sensible fellow There was
one exception that has a tendency !
to make one suspect that somewhat
of his old-time feblemindedness yet /
with him--and that circum-
stance was that he fancied he saw /
an obligation to marry Lisette
