were living before you met Pauline

land will be of no service to you. II
will only end In disappointment.
Gerald shook his head.
"That," he said obstinately. II must
discover for myself"
Gerald, following in the main the
directions on the slip of paper given
him by Madame de Poniere, reached
his destination on the afternoon Of the
third day. He was in the car which
he had hired at the last town on the
railway route, town which seemed to
him, unacquainted with this corner OF
Scotland, almost an outpost Of civiliza-
ton. After miles of mOOrland. I'M
broken except for huge bOulders, the
way had led around q range Of smaller
mountains until he had suddenly en-
countered, when he had been least ex-
pecting it, the tang of the. sea. Many
hundreds of feet below he saw at last
his destination, dwelling of stone as
ancient and rudely fashioned. 1t
seemed, as the massed-up bOulders on
every side. The road by which 1t was
approached was precipitOus, in places
almost impossible. The last quarter Of .
mile was along narrow bank, unpr0-
tected on either side, with the spray
from the waves leaping up into his
face. The road ended In circular
sweep, surrounded by q high wall. In
front Of him was q massive gate,
closed and barred. The porter who
appeared in answer to the bell kept
him waiting while he communicated
with the house. Finally the gates were
pushed open and the car allowed to
proceed up steep, stone-paved ascent
to a courtyard also tagged with stones
and also surrounded by a high wall.
In front was another massive door,
which, however, already stood open.
Two men servants. both foreigners,
awaited his arrival. One attended to
the closing Of the door and remained
with the chauffeur; the other silently
beckoned Gerald to follow him across
the stone floor of the bare, circular hall
into room at the further end. He
stood aside to let Gerald precede him.
"The gentleman will rplease be
seated" he said.
Gerald found himself alone In an
apartment not unduly large but ex-
ceedingly lofty. 1t was simply put
magnificently furnished, hut only a
Single rug lay upon the floor. The
windows looked sheer over the sea,
and the thunder of the waves against
the jagged rocks seemed almost at his
feet. The windows themselves were
narrow-the windows Of fortress
and the depth Of the window seat
showed the thickness Of the walls.
Gerald had little time to take note Of
these things, however. Within . mo
ment or two of his being left alone tho
door opened and Pauline entered.

She listens to innumerable tales
Of joy and sorrow, but keeps her own
to herself. She always has a Polly
anna smile. She is known as good"
and Sweet" But she sits at home
while her sisters go to dances and
parties.
Then. in the story, her hero comes
along, our heroine blossoms out and
the 'fade-out" shows the inevitable
happy ending.
Romantic readers close the book
at the end with a satisfied smile;
cynics put it down, unfinished.
Just a story, a WORKOUT plot But
sometimes it really happens. And
the hero doesn't always come along.
It's romantic to think Of the girl
as sacrificing her happiness to
others. But it's better for the girl
to praise her and then tell her her
sacrifice is unnecessary. It is purely
sacrifice of personality. She
efaces herself for Others And so
the others forget all about her until
they need sympathetic listener.

LONELY ALICE
Girls become popular because they
have that intangible something we
call charm" Girls like you sit at
home because they do not let others
see the pleasing qualities they know
they have. They do not make the
best of these qualities.
To be a good listener is one of the
first rules Of popularity. You are
that, without doubt. But you over
do it; you are such a good listener.
that people forget all about you ex-
cept when they have something to
which they want some one to listen,
Continue to be a good listener, but
develop your other good points-and
find some way to let other people
know about them. Don't wait for
your friends to say something after
that Hello" Do your part, too. Z

the affairs Of my fatherin-law IN
such shape at the Immediate pros

cepted his request that become sole
executor to his will and manager of
the steel plant in his stead.
You can readily see that even IL
this was not a special opportunity
for me, it would be an imperative
duty.
VIII you let mo say that in the
years we have been together I have
learned from you the most upright
and splendid Of business methods,
and If I do amount to anything in
my new position. It will be because
OF your fine example.
I cannot tell Just when I Will be
back. as Mr.. Hamilton seems to de-
pend upon me so greatly. and he
feels there is much to be decided
before be passes on.

II. when the time comes that I shall
lay down this earthly life, I shall
face the great unknown with the
same brave equanimity as does my
wife's father, I shall feel my life has
not been spent in vain.
Mrs. Anterior will give you all the
details, and she will also close up
the business in such a way that it
can easily be turned over to another.
I feel that in the future you can get
along much better without me than
I can without you, but Just now this
is the duty that lies nearest, and as
such it must be done.
