 For fear I'll run after him ?' ask ed Carlotta
 Not that I affirmed Not that at all. Only that youIl give too freely-with the same simple hon es-y you've shown me"
 And don't you think Anthony Nor- reys is big enough and honest enough to meet such giving half way?" mus ed Carlotta.
 Hes a man" I began, with a twinkle at my increasing knowledge of the foibles of the masculine per- son, who is a little boy grown up.
 A discreet cough from the door way interrupted me.
 There's a person here to see you / Mrs Harrison" interrupted the maid with the snobbery some servants show each other. -'She said it was Bertha and not to disturb your din- ner on her account, I left her on the front door steps while see;ng what to do about her"
 Have her in at once,". cried Car lotta, with the touch of arrogance I've seen her show only when protecting the under dog Please bring her right into the library and ask her if she's had her dinner.
 The maid flounced out with 8 very superior air. I turned to Cario&ta in amusement mingled with admfra- ton for the way she has Of Calttinr Gordian knots without waiting to see if they've been used to tie franed and broken strings.

I could not be sure that the right moment would ever again offer itself. But the whirligig of fate had carried us by our opportunity. So I turned and went to the room where Bertha was waiting for me.

4 Devoted Maori Father

A pathetic story of a Maori father is told by Rex Hunter, who was born and grew up among the Maoria MT. Hunter says that when he went rid ing, Koru who did odd jobs round the place, and who rode d pony that he called Polo. came along as sort of attendant But his attitude was different from that of an English or "Sir,''/h always called MT. Hun ter by his first name.
 While he was sojourning in the South Seas during absence from New Zealand a letter from MT. Hunt CTS sister informed him of Koru's death He had contracted smallpox. Tn replying, MT. Hunter referred tos MaeterIick's contention that the dead are never actually dead so long as the living remember them.
 In simple words, MT. Hunters sis-l ter told that part of his letter to Ben.s the father of the dead boy, and the. thought seemed to impress him deep-s ly. In her next letter the sister wrote: flowers on Korus grave Ben talked as if the boy could hear him. He said. Well, Koru. here we are come to- see you We no forget Sou- You no dead while we remember you, Koru Polo, the pony is all right and wonder where you are. Every' title while we come fo see you And

Rhode Gray, sprawled on the floor where he had thrown her, did not move-except to take the revolver from the pocket of her dress. She was crooning qeerly to herself, as she watched Rough Rorke light the can- dle and grope around in the floor:
 'fShe was good to me, de White Moll was JeIlies an t'ings she brought me. she did. An Gypsy Nan don't ferget. Gypsy Nan don't She sat up suddenly, snarling. Rorke had found the key, let the bot tie with the short stub of guttering candle standing on the floor, and was back again.

 She jerked herself backward, elud- - ing him, her revolver leveled.

 Rough Rorkei was gone-taking the stairs three and four at a time. Then she heard the street door slam.
 She rose slowly to her feet-and suddenly reached out. grasping at the door to steady herself. It seemed as though every muscle had gone limp, as though her limbs had not strength to support her. And for a moment she hung there, then she locked the door, staggered back, sank down on the edge of the bed, and, with her chin in her hands, stared at the gut tering stub of candle. And present. ly, in an almost aimless, mechanical way, she felt her her pocket for the piece of paper that she had found wrapped around the key, and drew it out. There were three figures scrawle9 upon it-nothing else.

 She dropped her chin in her hands again. and stared agin at the candle.
 And after a while the candle went out.

 Syndicate, Inc.
 News of your great loss has just reached me. Know you'll be brave and carry on like the splendid wom- an you are. Add my deep sympathy to that of the many friends who will stand by. Letter follows.
 ANTHONY. NORREYS." This Was the message which Car lotta held out to me. Her tremu- Ious eagerness was far easier to read than was Tony's telegram. The sen- tences on the slip of yellow paper were dignified, courteous and yet non- committai. But Carlotta's happy face told clearly how much this word from Tony meant to her.
 This is a wonderful telegram" I said, trying to find just the right words to give Carlotta the assur- ance she craved- Not many persons could convey so much of real sym pathy through an impersonal medium like a telegraph wire. And a letter to follow! Tony and you have drift ed into a real friendship, haven't you!"
 T don't want his friendship" bIaz- ed Carlotta suddenly. "I want" She stopped abruptly and swept her eyes commandingly across my face, lis there any reason on earth why I shouldn't go after what I want?''
 NO, dear'' l hesitated There must be no pretense between us now, and even if couldn't answer as CarIotta. wished, I had to make my reply utterly, baldly honest. 'I see no reason against your going after your-heart's desire-except that a girl of your forceful nature might almost drive the thing she wanted to attract away from her by the strength of her feelings"
 -Is there any other -reason?" de- manded Cdrlotta
 NO. Surely you, remember l said once that I-didn't want to try to capture what belongs to another wo- man Oh, Anne, I can't be reticent now. It's always been clear to me that there was a wonderful friend ship between you and Anthony Nor reys and Betty Bryce Winston. He's fond of Betty-and he worships you. And your relation is so perfect it made me feel that I had no right to think of myself if either of you needed him, But now-Im alone, except for you. When Jim comes back, I'll be more than ever alone. And Betty has Terry. Do you think I'm dreadful? Do you think I ought to have more-pride ?"
 Carlotta leaned across the ta ble, her hands clasped tightly before her on the white cloth. and the lights ma king shadows on her pale face and lighting her hair to incandescence. She was very beautiful and very pa thetic. I wished with all my heart I could truthfully assert my belief that Tony's message meant what she wanted it to mean. But I'd seen too much of his tender and devoted friendship to find anything more than courtesy in the telegram. 'T don't think there is any lack of pride in what you're telling me-" replied 1T think it is big and fine of you to be SO honest. And I re- spect your faith in me. There is no woman of whom I know, CarlOtta, who has any more claim on Tony than your feeling gives you. He'd be the luckiest of men if he knew and felt we both want to have him feel"
 You think I'm good enough 2" gasped CarlOtta.

Montreal, March 22-(SpeciaD-A millionaire when dollars were con- cerned but a millionaire when it came to love.
 That's how Miss Sarah Elizabeth Martin characterizes Shirley Ogilvie, f1nancief, her former fiance.
 Miss Martin charges in her s100,- 900 suit against Ogilvie that the eld- erly fnancfer just bubbled over with generosity when he offered her his love.
 And to prove her charges she of fers in evidence letters and cable grams from Ogilvie.
 The telegrams, cablegrams and wireless messag ges, there are a sheath of them, show that the ingenious Ogilvie in his burning ardor invented a codeword to express his undying love for the girl of his dreams.
 That word was peerless" Ac- cording to Miss Martin, it meant:
 'tAlI the love of my heart and body and soul is yours ten million times"
 Feeling that even this assurance was iadequate. 1t was the millionaire's habit to multiply this estimate of his live by the most exaggerated numer- als measuring the increasing degree of his ardency

ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Wrong Man andsRight

Wrong Man and Right Dear Miss Fairfax:
 I am Is. Recently I met young man who has been very attentive to me and who is a fine man. He tells my friends he loves me. I respect him. but I have met another man whom I consider my 'fdeaE~ I like him very much, and I knowAhe cares lot for me Am I right in going out with the first man?
 I imagine I am really running iIis future pla ms, but wasn't it right to tell him of my meeting with the sec- ond man? He took it to heart, that I could see, but said I should use my own jud gment. So I am awaiting my answer from you.
 A CONSTANT READER
 You could do no man a worse in- justice than to marry him when you don't care for him. And if you have met the man for whom you feel you can care. you have less than ever a. chance to force yourself to respond to the feelings of the first man. Be honest not only with the man. for whom you don't care, but with your self.

west Virginia defeated Indiana
by the score Of SO to 0, completely
outclasstng the Hoosler eleven.
Comparison With West.
The best that Wisconsin and
minnesota could do against In
diana was TO win by the same
score Of 20 to 0. Knute Rockne's
wonderful Notre Dame team beat
Indiana % to O.
While comparative scores may
not mean a great deal, they Ger.
tainly place West Virginia a trifla
ahead. Of some of the very best
teams In the west.

the critics as the strongest team
in the east, was beaten by Wash.
