and there, in its light, sat Faunce-

laughed. "I've always disliked the

"And are you happy? Certainly
not. Good Lord, Mrs. Stevens :. i
I know you're way above me, but i
we'll, I never could understand why
after what I'd told you =. :"
"And you were certain of your
ground?" she asked.
He shrugged.
'Our clients case was unimpeach-
able. Of course, I shouldn't talk to
you this way, but -"
"I shouldn't have let you come here,
shouldn't have put into words things
you hadn't said to me, but you're a

Tim, and so you imagine that you
care for me-
'Tmagine!" he said angrily.
She nodded
That's all it is-imagination. Now,
let's be friends"
He smiled wanly and took her hand.
"I'11 try," he said.
He came up to Lucy one evening at
the Everglades. She'd dined inside
with the Lars Petersens, and was now
one of their gay party seated outside
in Orangerie, as the lovely dancing
place is named.
"Your husband is the main person
in the Lucy-is it St. Lucie ?-develop-
ment. Guess I've said enough"
She shrugged carelessly.
"If you don't wish to tell me; If
you think it's not to be repeated. Per-
haps you've gathered I'm not particu-
larly fond of Tim, haven't you?"
She could not have told, had her life
depended on it, why she made this re-
mark. 1t was a vulgar remark, sneer-
ing at ones own husband, and no one,
save Fergus Faunce and Tim himself,
had ever heard her state, since mar
riage, that she disliked Tim. Her ac-
tions may have informed people, but
not her tongue.
Il always wondered you know
| ing what you knew {. well, you
wont mind learning that hes going to
learn a little lesson tonight"
"How?" she asked. .
! Caution, that had been unie4shed
by a combination Of circumstances,
came b&sk to him. :,
"Oh. well, youN know tomorrow"
She shrugged indiAerently. Then
she laughed cynieally.
ssWhy do you laugh1" he inquired.
/ She was tremendously, overwhetn,-
ingty tolerant as she replied:
After all, Mr.. Lesson, you're a
] very bright man, and all that, but
Tim Stevens is i. But mustn't hurt
your feelings"
'You don't think I could out-ran-
euver him?" he demanded.
She shrugged again.
Hardly"
| Caution gnawed right through its
leash now and fed yelping away.
"Well, I have! His Lucy-or St.
lLucie-city isn't worth a hoot unless
he has a waterway. There's a cloud
upon the title to Seminole Creek, and
the bridges across it. My clients
claim that they have an option on the

it's his. But tonight we're destroying

Lesson did not take dismissal SO
easily as she had hoped. When she
refused his third invitation to luncheon,
he telephoned and asked her if he
might drop in for tea. She granted
permission, and as they slipped the tea
and nibbled cakes, she told him, quite
gently but nevertheless firmly that she
was a married woman and that even
if she weren't, she'd not be at all in

ALL PASSES
By Theodore Tilton

By Theodore TiIton
Once in Persia reigned a king,
Who, upon his signet ring
Graved maxim true and wise.
Which, if held before the eyes,
Gave him counsel at a glance,
Fit for every change and chance.
Solemn words, and these are they!
Even this shall pass away"
Trains of came1s through the sand
Brought him gems from Samarkands
Fleets of galleys through the seas
Brought him pearls to match with
these.
But he counted not his gain
Treasures of the mine or main;
"What is wealth." the king would
"Even this shall pass away"
In the revels of his court,
At the zenith of the sport,
When the palms of all his guests
Burned with clapping at his jests,
He, amid his figs and wine,
Cried: ooh, loving friends of mine!
Pleasure comes, but not to stay;
Even this shall pass away"
Fighting on furious field,
Once a javelin pierced his shield;
Soldiers with loud lament
Bore him bleeding to his tent;
Groaning from his tortured side.
"Pain is hard to BEAR" he cried,
"But with patience, day by day,
Even this shall pass away"
Towering in the public square,
Twenty cubits in the air,
Rose his statue, carved in stone.
Then tfie King, disguised, unknown.
Stood before his sculptured name
Musing ineellly, "What is fame1
Fame is but a slow decay:
Even this shall pass away"
/ Struck with palsy, sese and old,
Waiting at the gates OF gold.
Said he, with his dying breath.
Tile Is done, but what is deathe~
Then, IN answer 10 the King,
Fell a sunbeam on his ring,
Showing, by its heavenly ray.
Even asis shall pass away"
