His face was keen and somewhat
lined under a smooth crest of slightly
craving hair; he smiled very rarely,
but there was certain kindliness In
his gray eyes, when Nina or Ward
or his wife turned to him. that IIar-
riet liked.
For Harriet he had hardly a dozen
words year. He merely smiled
kindly when she thanked him for the
Christmas gift that bOTe his I'M
touched card; If she went to her sis
ter for a day or two, he gave her only
nod of greeting when she came back.
Now and then he asked with sharp
interest about NIna's teeth or his
mothers headache.
But Harriet had known other types
of men, and for his very silences. for
his indifference, she had begun to adj
mlre him long ago. She had not been
born In this atmosphere of pleasure
and ease and riches; she was not en-
tirely untitled to judge n man.
Isabelle was always breezily civil to
ished as completely from among the
vital elements Of her life as If he were
dead. perhaps more than If he were
dead. She thOught-if she thought
about him at all-that he never saw
her little affairs; she supposed him
perfectly satisfied with his home and
children and club and business, and
incidentally with his beautiful figure
head of a wife. They had quarreled
distressingly, several years ago, when
he had bored her with references to
her duty" and her influence over
Nina, and her obligations to her true
self. But that had all stopped long
since, and now Isabelle was free to
sleep late, to dress at leisure, to make
what engagements she pleased, to see
the persons who interested her. Rich
ard never interfered; never was there
more perfectly discreet and gener-
Gus husband. Half the women Isabelle
knew were attempting to live exactly
as she did, to cultivate "suitors." and
drift about in an atmosphere of new
gowns and adulatiOn and orchids and
softly lighted drawing rooms, and in
cessant playing with fire; 1t was the
accepted thing, in Isabelle's circle,
and that she was more successful in
1t than other women was not at all
to her discredit.

Meaning Of Clergy.

The word clergy, like the word
clerk, which is the Latin clericus in
Anglicized form, does not refer ex-
clusively to churchmen. but includes
all who have any pretension toward
learning.
william Rufus. the second of the
Norman kings of England, enacted an
ordinance in 1887 known by the title
Benefit of Clergy" In accordance
with which an accused man could save
his life on proving that he was not
entirely ignorant Of letters.

Isabelle sat on. stroking the hound,
her soul filed with perplexity. An

understanding of his fury. "Ah, please,
Tony" she pleaded. what can dor
"NOthing!" he answered, suddenly
plant. Nothing, of course" And
he turned to her a boyish face stern

The youthfulness of 1t did not rob
1t Of real dignity. Isabelle. wretched'

her heart contract with real pain. He
would go away-it would all be over
and forgotten In a few weeks-and
yet, how she longed to comfort him,
to make him happy again!
She looked obliquely at his set face
and what she saw there made her
feel ashamed.

TO GET RID OF
FAT USE SENSE

Remember, when you go in for re-
ducing your weight, that n Of the
chief things is to get plenty of normal
exercise, plenty of fresh air, plenty
of sleep, and plenty to eat.
This, Of course, is for the general
sort Of reduction. There are dies
which do\ not give plenty, but these
are for special cases, and should be
recommended by u doctor not adopted
haphazard. But for the woman who
suddenly realizes that she has been
putting ,on weight. every month for
a. year and wishes to stop doing it. a
less rigid dict is necessary, and usual
ly some. obvious fault of her life, is. to
blame for conditions.
Plenty Of sleep doesn't mean lolling
in bed until noon every day. 1t means
seven, hours, at .leas., of good, sound
sleep, in a room full of air, cool in
winter.
Plenty of food doesn't mean a
luncheon consisting of lobster salad
hot biscuits, iced chocolate with
whipped cream and an eclair. But il
may mean a big bowl of crackers an
milk, or a big dish of vegetable salad
with clear tea, waters and creaY,
cheese, or a chop and some spinach
with a baked apple for dessert.
yOuA SCAl Cdi plolI JUL a CAuC-
ing diet. BIT don'!, unless you are
doing so under a doctors care. try t.
take a cup of clear. coffee and ar
orange for breakfast, nothing for
luncheon and a chop and some le1nnv
Juice for dinner And don't try to cx-
ercise to the point of excessive fatig,le
or to &c without normal sleep in a,
effort to get thin.

silky SEES A MEAN IN THE OPEN WINDOW.
y byCar!ysle H. holcomb

Tinker Fob was very tired and was
soon asleep in the Magic Basket which
hung TO the tree they had first seer in
the jungle land. Silky, the eXcitable
monkey. was not sleepy in the least
for he had seen the strangest thing
it out Of his mind. What it was he
did not know. but he thought II there
was any other creatures like that in
the Jungle he wanted to go back to
the forest at once. My, what if that
fellow should step on the King, there
would be nothing left of him. and
then he, the poor monkey, would be
left in the midst CT the Jungle alone.
He turned over n again trying
Ito find a place that would seem easy
to him for he wanted to go to sleep
and forget this terrible fellow. He
opened the window Of the Magic
basket to take one last look outside
and see if everything was safe. It
was dark and still, oh so still, that he
was even afraid Of the stiffness and
drew his head inside quickly.
After a while sleep came along for
the sand man visits the land of the
Jungles as he goes everywhere. and
the silly monkey became motionless
in slunlber.
Of the land where Tinker Bob lived.
Every creature seems to be waiting
early in the night for every other
creature to move first. But when the
movement starts the jungle land be-
comes alive with all manner of creep
ing and crawling thing.
Silky had gone to sleep before the
folks of the Jungle started their
movements. and it was a good thing
he had or he might have been fright
cncd to death. And as it was, he was
awakened in the middle of the night
by a Kissing sound that seemed to be
very near. He opened his yes but
could see nothing. He thought that
it must have beer a dream for nothing
could get into the Magic Basket hang
ing up in a tree.
Presently he heard the kissing sound
again, and this time he was sure that

he had not been dreaming, for, look
ing up, he saw the head Of a great
serpent appearing in the window he
had not closed after looking out. The
first thing he thought about was why
he wondered how a serpent could get
up in such a tree, and then.there were
sc many thoughts that he, couldn't
tell which M to think first. The next
thing he did was to shake Tinker Bob
roughly. s@:2
When the King awoke INC saw the
