peer around, too high to climb over. Of his past. never a word
 There was no open sentimentality in this comradeship. She assumed motherly air toward him, at least she supposed it was motherly; and he was patently grateful. Sometimes they went to movie; but he never reached out for her hand in the dark.
 In the beginning love is not an Illumination; it is fog, blind alleys, labyrinths, heart burnings, doubt; you have to come out into the clear to understand what has happened to you. But sometimes a dramatic mo- ment succeeds where days of doubt ing and doddering fail
 Mary felt trapped. If only she had rebuked Morgan that dayi But just bit hypnotized, she had listened, let him finish what he had to say It did not matter that she had walked away without word in reply.
 He hadn't understood that silence; for there he sat opposite. Sooner or later he would spoil everything. She could see that due to constant in terposition of Sands, Morgans temper was beginning to show edges.
 She smiled across the table at Sands, who smiled back as he slipped his napkin through the wooden ring This exchange did not escape Nor gan, whose eyes grew metallic
 Both men got up with the same idea, but Sands was the quicker; and he pressed by, reaching Mary first.
 "Movie?"
 Not tonight. I've class in anat- omy. l shan't be back until 10. To- morrow night, if you like"
 T would very much like" he said. May 1 come for you?'
 '"Too far. The subway will take care of me, Thanks"
 "All right. I'll york; He turned and faced her abruptly. Don't worry about that bounder," he whispered, I'm always around somewhere
 Sands went directly to his room. He fused about for a while, rum maged his pockets and the bureau drawers for a ppeful of tobacco, without success. Next he threw back the covers of his bed, took umbrage att e way the window curtains were hung, and finally sat down before the deal table because there was no further excuse for avoiding it.
 He wrote doggedly. But by and by the pencil began to grow heavy, and many times he had to pull his eyes down to the paper,
 At length he flung down the pen Gil. It was impossible; he could not write another word. There were too many other things in his head.
 He took inventory of his financial resources. This brought to light exactly ss.6S; and in the offing was Mrs. Calthrop's bill for two weeks board-S24
 Could he get through another month"; He had his watch and dress suit After these were pawned, the deluge
 He examined the watch, a beaati- full Swiss timepiece, and balanced 1t upon his palm. No, he would never part with that. even temporarily. He would try Brounstein with the dres suit. The old codger ought to lend S25 on that, for 1t was as good as new.
 Sands left his table and went over to steamer trunk. From the bottom lie drew out dress suit. This was the first time he had touched 1t since the hour of pack ing--so long ago that it made him feel old to recall it.
 He did not shake out the suit or examine the pockets. his actions were mechanical, for his thoughts were busy introspectively.
 Was he colossal fool? He had often wondered of late. The Lord just knsw that he had played the

 Only few weeks ago they had really become acquainted; and he was now more of puzzle than ever. Two or three times, however, she had caught him off his guard.
 Morgan (designated as B would be recounting some exploit in the Orient, when there would come into Sands eyes and into the corner of his lips tolerant contempt. What did that signify?
 Morgan was really fascinating when he talked, Why should Sands regard him with contempt?
 But the uncomplaining patience of him; and she hadn't the courage to tell him that his fight was useless, that pluck and patience were all blindly misapplied. The task of Sisyphus.
 Odd, behind all the mildness, that lovabie gentleness. was a will of iron If only he would get job and write as a pastime, Soon he would he going to cheaper boarding house; from there, to a cheaper one still.
 She recalled her first interest in him-the shape of his head It was beautiful; and her casual artistic in terest in it at length became a species of mild fascination.
 The desire to model it in clay was Irresistible. But she never had the courage to ask him with all these eossips about. The opportunity came unexpectedly one noon. The two were dining alone.
 MT Sands. will you do me a fsvor?"
 Why, yes, Miss Clinton"
 Il want to model your head in clay"
 His fork clattered to the floor, and he actuallsa blushed. Why
 Please! I'm 50 poor that l can afford models only once in a great while. An hour every afternoon be- tween and ,. Pleaser'
 Mary had a voice, too; when she said "P1ease~ the ears of St An thony would have twitched. So what chance had Sands?
 T agree. But I wonder if you couldn't remodel this head instead of making copy of it? Something's wrong with 1t"
 In parentheses it may be said that the barriers down, they rush toward each other like two celestial bodies toward a point of attraction. And you know what the inevitable of that is-fire.
 So Sands posed for Mary As she worked in the clay she talked, and by and by the curtain went up, ever so little. He was trying to break into tie ma agazines. He had sold three or four stories to the cheap publica- tions, but had failed to impress the editors of the worthwhile monthlies.
 One day, in burst of confidence, he showed her these tales
 When she finished reading them, Mary was dashed; for they were mediocre stories. without the least promise. Presently she grasped the truth. Sands, like thousands of others, had mistaken taste for talent Loving the beautiful, he had found the urge to create irresistible. And he was on the way to waste his youth.
 He soon offered her all the fasci- nation of those Christmas boxes of her childhood. She was continually up some fresh sideight to his character.
 But, for all these flashes, she felt confronted by wall, without ends to

 Across the table sat two men, being the BIC haSe to the aforesaid trian gle. One of them was between 35 and 40. Somehow he seemed out of place at this humble board.

 his there was twinkle of cynical amusement when he spoke. the table chatter generally became stilled.
 He talked we'll. for he had travel led far and wide. Pearls and precious stones-he talked about them inces- sanity. He told thrilling stories about the pearl fisheries. Knew all about the gem shops in the Chand- nj Chowk in Delhi.
 He could tell you the names and histories of great pearls. great ru- bies, great emeralds; tales of men who brought precious stones to play with, of others who died strangely in odd corners of the world Oh, he was entertaining: and all the more dangerous for that.
 He was writing book, so, he said, upon famous pearls, and he had dropped down into Ninth street for quiet and seclusion.
 But Mary knew that he lied: A month since, at the first sight of him she would have packed up and fled in the small hours of the morn ing. She hated him, hated him be- cause he alone, of all men, had dis covered the chink in her armor.
 Pearls, lustrous, beautiful; she loved them madly. It seemed as if, in some former state, she had been covered with pears, and now she wanted them back-not to Haunt in public around her lovely throat. but to play with, to touch, to trickle through her warm fingers, to kiss.
 They reached upon her senses as great heights react upon most of us-with a species of vertigo. And once she had almost toppled.
 For with the pearls there would be money and leisure and perhaps fame; no more drudgery. no more heart-burning disappointments. But she had stepped back.
 $. When he talked to the boarders about pearls. Mary knew that he was merely trying to recast the spell of hyposis over her. She hated him, but she was no longer afraid.
 Here. in this house-the implac able persistence of the man!
 There recurred to her a story she had once read It was about a man who tracked a wild horse across the plains, day and night. through the burning heat and the numbing cold, relentlessly, ineXorably, until the spirit of the wild horse was broken.
 After all, she hadn't been afraid of him really; she had feared Mary Clinton and her mad love of pearls. She knew now that even this fear was gone forever. She had found a buckler; she was no longer all alone. It did not matter that this buckler was totally unaware of his office.
 Covertly she compared the two faces-the dark, handsome face of B and the fine, pale countenance of c. to continue the triangular allegory.
 Herbert Sands aloofness was not due to pride or to a yelled resentment against the increasing pressure of genteel poverty; simply, he was not gregarious by nature.
 For months he had puzzled her and intrigued her curiosity, for he didn't

LEBANON

On Thursday evening public debate by the pupils Of the4 Lyman Memorial High School was held in the auditorium of the high school, the subject, Resolved, That the Men Who Served in the Mili- tary, Naval and Marine Forces of the United States During the World War Should Be Granted Bonus by the Fed eral Government.
 Those on the affirmative side were Miss Celia S. yinogFad, Miss Sara W. Robinson and Benjamin l. Leavitt. Those on the negative sidet were Miss Jamie Nield, Chester R. Starr and Max Nadel. The arguments on both sides were five and showed much careful study on the subject. The judges found it hard to decide, two being for the affirmative side and one for the negative. Judging by the applause had it been left to the au- dienee the negatives would have won. The auditoriumtw twas packed, showing the interest that was felt by the townspeople in the work of the school. Rev. Edward l.. Yield was moderator. There were sew EeraI songs by six of the young ladies of the school accompanied on the piano by Fred Burgess. There were also two piano duets by Miss Eleanor Burgess. a pupil of the school. Remarks were
 made by Mir. Bennett, principal of the school, also by Mir Libby, supervisor of schools.

Breed Theatre

Forget-Me-Not," which was shown for the first time yesterday at the Breed theatre, is picture which maketh the heart glad. Given story human to ths last degree, with a cast which brings tn each character a sympathetic imperson- ation and direction which shows unusual knowledge of life, and especially of the heart Of child the result is picture which cannot fail to win favor with everyone who welcomes photoplays, which are free from hoakum and which have some semblance to life as It really is
 Forget -Me-Not is a love story but it IS more than that. It Is the life story of two fourdIings who find in their devotion for each other some compensation for the un- kind fate which has deprived them ot home and the affection of parents. But even this consolation Is denied them, for Jimmy is adopted by a rich woman and passes out of Anns life to reaDpear under conditions that seem at the time to shat ter her faith in the goodness of life.
 Forget-Me-Not is Louis Burston pro- duction for Metro in which Gareth Hughes and Bessie Love play the leading roles. They make the characters stand out with vivid lifelikeness. The story is by Henry R. Symonds and is adapted by John B. ClymeT. W. S. Yan Dyge is the direc- tor.
 Forget Me Not will be the feature al | the Breed theatre again to5ay and Tues day and other pictures on the bill include
