Thus far congress has chosen TO 60 far afield In

called congress together for what the country under

A queer incident decided her. At

thought "Oh, I wish I had q

Then a revulsion OF feelingI MOI
Never againl THAI very revulsion

to days she hoped yer forever

out OF the house, and into the
street car. which took her to Agnes
modest apartment house.
Agnes apartment was like her:
cool and quiet, refined, dainty, al
most SOmber. But an occasional
note or color relieved its severity.
The two girls chatted on imper-
sonal topics for a few minutes.
Then Chatty sat up in her chair
and gasped:
'Agnes-I-help me to be bravel

Confess? To me? Why, Chat

Chatty gulped-

She did not know Of the evident

voice was impersonal, not angry or
filled with passion.
"Jealousy-and my horrible desire

Chatty stopped, to gulp down a
sob in her throat. Agnes sat quiet,
waiting.
That's all, Agnes. 1T took me a
long time TO make up my mind &c

the only ~reparation I know how to
make. I don't expect you to forgive

Chatty put her face down in her

as Agnes crossed the room to her
swiftly and put a very tender hand

Agnes alphabetically, a soft,
gentle little laugh.

The amazing words dropped
Chatty's mouth open in wonder. Not

The next morning, looking over
the Female Help Wanted" column
in the paper, Chatty came across
a little item headed The import
ance Of the comma" In the story
was the famous quotation: There
is a destiny that shapes u ends,
rough hew them as we may" and
the misprinting OF it. showing how
the changing of a comma alters
the sense: There is a destiny that
shapes our ends rough, hew them
as we may
Chatty smiled: queer, what a diff
ference one little comma could
make
But she remembered 1t with a
gasp as she walked down town and
almost fell over Agnes.
Surely my destiny Is shaping my

courage, she spoke.
