Coverton went straight to the coffin with out a word. Screw driver and screws were on the pavement. Jt waa so Jlko l’ortngaT In the wilda to leave such trifles lying about. "They don't always close them," sahl Coverton. "We might live a look at him." The lid lifted, nnd there lay Pedro Mar tinez, with an ashen smile on 7 b!a bandaged •*tl_ But in'that moment evi _ r possession of Coverton.

Pallid and ashen himself now as the corpse before him, Coverton took up one of the great leaden sconces and Its candle. He went down the nave first, to bolt the door. Prom the door he proceeded Into the south aisle along the wall. Ho to the east end. the north aisle tnd chapels, and then back again to a stone trap with lusty ring In It. Having raised the stone, he saw the steps which led to a grisly hole, where the bone* of Anany ger— ~— ■hh' women were piled. And then he retraced his steps, leaving the candle In tho vault. Others of the candles he dispersed along the pave and past altar, so, that there was an avenue of Illumination for the work next to be done. Bast of all, he re moved the lid of the coffin nnd turned to Randolph, who wns like a petrified helm "Give me a hand with this, and foil me!" he said. All Randolph’s Individuality waa sub merged In the flood of Coverton’s dastardly will power. Coverton himself lifted tho dead hian’s head: and. expressionless aa before being bidden, Randolph took the dead feet. And slowly they marched with tbcfr burden past the arranged candle*, and —with difficulty there—lnto the crypt It self. When no part of poor Pedro waa left visible he gave the word to Randolph to return. "Go up!" he said, and In grim procession they returned to the empty coffin. Summoning his strength for * supreme effort, Coverton raised Randolph at the legs nnd arms, and laid him In the coffin. Then he replaced the lid and drove In Are or six acrew*. Back to the hotel went Coverton, with fiendish triumph In him. But nearing the half hour after midnight, suddenly, as at flra.t, that eager nightingale outaldo broke forth Into the sweetest song. Coverton started back and turned about •ud his eyes settled In an agony of re morse upon a little porcelain thing hung to tho wall; a crucifix above and a scoop below. In which, as he knew, waa conse crated water. The words. "Oh. God! help me!" breath ed from his lips, snd In another minute he was outside tho hotel, hastening, heed less now of any chaucc human eye, again toward that church. , When, after a premonitory -shiver or two. Randolph rubbed hla eyes, opened them and Randolph rubbed his eyes, opened inem and realized where he was, all he desired was to return to the hotel and go to bed, "Haven’t you had enough of thla yet. Hurry?" he aaked. "It give* me the C *"Vea,” said*Coverton. "I’re had quite enough of It.” The neit day they both made for Ma lum aud Kugland.

T T MUST be apparent to every thinking person that the amount * or domestic happiness in the world would be enormou»ly increased If men and women would decide on what kind of life partner they preferred before marriage, Inatead of waiting until after marriage to’make up their minds on the subject. As It la, we conduct matrimony on the church grab-bag plan. We shut our eyes and clutch the first thing we get our hands on, and tho divorce courts have to work overtime sorting out tha mtsfltn. The kind of wife a man ■ ought to marry depends on the kind of man. There la no other such fallacy aa the attraction of opposites. , What we want In marriage iz iym- pathy, not contradiction, and the tint thing a man who contemplates matri mony should do Is to classify himself. Let him decide whether he wants to be a clubman himself or the husband of a clubwoman: whether he yearns for peace or argument, and whether he wants a kitchen stove or a parlor orna ment. There are charms and virtues in ulJ, but there is also a choice. For a practical man, a business worn- A man may choose a life partner be cause she suits him. A wise woman should not only consider whether the man suits her, but whether she Is going to suit the environment In which she will be placed. She should not marry a clubman If she Is going to shed tears over his sarcastic remarks on her housekeeping. - She must not marry a clergyman urn less she has spiritual grace enough to wear last year's bonnets, because the congregation disapproves of frivolity In other people. She should never marry a vain man unless her flattery Is of such an Intox icating brand It will make every other woman’s seem like stale beer besldp champagne frappe. Hhe should not marry an adored only son unless shs is prepared to battle with selfishness; or a brother with many sisters unless she has made up her mind to wait on him hand and foot. Of course, women doh’t often con alder these points. They marry nt ran dom, as If a husband was something you picked up on a bargain counter nnd could send back to the shop If It didn't suit when you got it home or you found out you didn't need It after all. The remedy for domestic unhappl- an la a safe choice.- . Having earned ness la very simple. It merely consists money, she knows Its value and will run things on a cash basis. She will have meals on schedule time, and will not be hoodwinked by tradespeople. She has worked with men and knows their tricks and manners, and will not be deceived by fairy stories about lodge meetings. She is not the wife for a conceited man. because she Is used to forming ter own opinions, nor Is she the wife : or a stingy man. because she is accus tomed to her own pocketbook und will inevitably demand a fair division of the family finances. Not without reason have widows been considered peculiarly desirable as wives. A man's Judgment always backs his fancy when he chooses one for a wife. A young girl Is a conundrum. A widow Is the answer. A girl of 18 may be anything—a bag or a load of hay—at 40. The widow las arrived. She Is what she Is. She las also had experience of men and doesn't ask the Impossible. In a word, she has the advantage of the profes sional over the amateur. Widows are preferred risks In matrimonial bureau. For the worn and blase clubman, who marrying for a home, there Is noth ing equal to the spinster who has aban doned hope and then sees matrimony dawn on her horizon like a port to a shipwrecked mariner. She Is the true husband spoiler. Shs _ the woman who simply glories In making herself a doormat for a man to walk over. A woman's choice of a life partner Is more difficult than a man’s, because she does not do the choosing. Matrimbny for her Is a kind of con fidence game, In which she Is Invited to take a hand by some agreeable stranger with whom she meets up on the journey of life,, and the wonder Is not that she loses so often, but that she wins at all. Women are poor gamblers, because they always play their own hand with out reference to anybody elae'a. That the way they play matrimony. They iy, “t love,” and forget It isn’t a sim ple game where they can take their partner’s best and gu It alone. In finding out what you want before you get something else. Love should wear spectacles before marriage and blinders afterward. APPELLATE JUDGES INSPECT QUARTERS Owing to a delayed train. Judge Arthur G. Powell, of Blakeley, did not reach'Atlanta until noon Thursday for the consultation between the three Judges of the appellate court and Gov ernor Terrell as to the quarters for the new court.
