The story thus far.
Alexander Holder, of the banking
firm of Holder a. Stevenson, second
largest private banking concern in
the City of London, called on Holmes
for assistance. He said that the morn
ing before a man of high position had
come TO him to ask for loan OF fifty
thousand pounds, which he would repay
the following Monday. AS security
he left the Beryl coronct, one of the most
precious possessions of the Empire
priceless in value. Mr.. Holder protested,
against accepting such valuable
security, but the great man treasured
him. =,
So he left with his loan and MIR.
Holder, worried over the safety OF
the coronet, took it home with him and
locked it in bureau drawer. His
household consisted of his orphaned
niece, Mary, who was as a daughter
to him, his son Arthur, rather Wild

Lucy Parr, had been with him for a
long time. AS Mr.. Holder was locking
up the night before Mary remarked that
she had seen Lucy just come in, though
she had not had permission to go out.
Arthur asked his father for money for n
debt of honor, but was refused. In the
night Mr.. Holder was Mortified to be
awakened by noise in his dressing-room
where the coronst was locked. He
ran to see who was there.

The other day ! found Maud in tears


What is the natter" | inquired.
Jack broke an engagement with me
to meet some hornd customer she
sobbed. "He said ii was most important
because the man was only going TO be
in town few hours, and lie had to sec
him, but it shows that he doesn think
I'm important, and that my pleasure is
TO be considered. He puts his old bust
ness ahead of me, and it proves he doesn't
lo-o-o-ve me-" and then she boo-hooed
, some more.
"Cherrio." ! said, dry your eyes and
rejoice, for Jack has just given you the
strongest proof OF love that any human
being is capable of manifesting. lie has
shown that he is willing TO work for
YOU, that he is willing 30 sacrifice HIM
self for YOU, that he is looking forward
to protecting your future.
Words are cheap. About the easiest
and least costly thing any man can do Is
TO sit down and fan girl with hot air,
and tell her how wonderful and beautiful
she is, and how he adores her, and that
every hour that he is away from her is a
weary eternity.
Lots of men will do that, they will
camp on girls parlor chairs, play around
about her, and always be Johnny-on-the-
spot when she wants TO go TO q dance, or
the movies, or some place of amusement,
but they loaf along on their jobs, and
never get enough money 10 get married
on.
"And the poor, silly little girl believes
that she has inspired a grand passion
in the mans breast because he talks SO
much about it, and because he is always
hanging around ready TO help her enjoy
herself.
Believe me, daughter, there's moth
ing in sentimental twaddle TO which 8
woman can tie. The acid test Of love is
not what man says TO you, but how
much he is willing TO do for you. The
real lover doesn't sigh, and moon about
and curse the cruel fate that keeps you
apart. He rolls up his sleeves, and get!
out and hustles to bring the wedding
day nearer Don't put any faith in th'
man who spends hours telling you thai
he wishes he were a fairy prince whC
could give you a palace by the sea to live
in, and nectar and ambrosia to feed upon

TASTEFUL FURNITURE, RUGS
AND HANGINGS FOR THE
LITTLE HOME

A reader friend has asked me to
suggest tasteful furnishings for small
house which has two bedrooms and
bath upstairs, and living room, din
ing room and kitchen downstairs. With
the idea in mind that one bedroom
lover the living room has a north
eastern exposure, and that the other
bedroom lover the dining ROOM has
a southeastern exposure, | made the
following suggestions:

gets little sunshine it needs a light
color scheme. Plain buff-color paper
covers the walls. Lavender rag rugs
cover the hardwood floor. Cream

you, like thousands of other foolish
women, complain because your man is
absorbed in his business, and he gives TO
it time that you think belongs to you.
Did you ever stop TO think what man
works for, what is the motive power that
drives him on through WEAKNESS, and
sickness, and anxiety? 1t is love for some
woman. IT'S the desire that his wife shall
live safe, and sheltered, and free from
care. It's the ambition to see his wife
the mistress of fine house, riding in
automobiles, decked in jewels and fine
clothes.
1T doesn't take much money TO supply
a mans personal needs He could make
that with one hand tied behind him, and
loaf half the time. No man would work

Twinkle-eyes took o peek, expecting
