A Strange Pair.
The? seemed strangely in keeping, old
man and gaunt, gray-striped cat. with
this tiny shop, whose windows looked into
two of those fast-disappearing streets of
old Westminster that survive here and
there, hidden away and dwarfed by great
modern buildings, by flaunting highways,
as they stood there looking for nothing
up the street where so tew feet woke the
echoes.
'l’he legend over the shop, as well as
several fly-blown cards in the windows,
announced that if was occupied by “Sam
uel Jex. Goldsmith and Dealer in Anti
quities.’ The various trivial articles in
the window- china figures, fragile, hand
less cups, divorced for all lime from their
wedded saucers, old-fashioned jewelry,
heaped together heterogeneously on* little
trays under one set price, together with a
good deal of old brass -suggested that
Samuel Jax wsa a dealer In a very small
way’ indeed.
Rain was falling, not In heavy splashes
now. but in a white, driving sheet that
hid the vista of the streets. The grum
bling of the thunder sounded momentarily
louder and more threatening, following
tearing zigzags of lightning that lit up
the dark interior of the shop.
In the extraordinary stillness that pre
vailed between the thunder crashes every
sound appeared intensified. The echo of
rapid footsteps, ringing out monotonously
down the street, seemed almost prepos
terously loud.
At the sound of those approaching feet
the iat pricked up its pointed ears, and
stared out before it with round, unblink
ing eyes that took no heed of the light
ning-shot sheets of rain. The eyes of the I
man also stared out intently. There was I
something predatory in this absorbed gaze
of man and animal.
The steps came nearer and paused. Out
of the solidly blinding rain a man stepped
into the entrance of the shop and greeted
Jex by name. He was umbrellaless, but
wore a long white mackintosh coat that
covered him from head to foot.
“Good heavens!” he said ’You and :
your cat—you don’t appear to mind ihe i
thunder and lightning, either of you. do I
you?”
"No. no: we mind nothing of that sort. I
sir." the old man said. “Leah is inter
ested in the rain: she has an inquiring
mind. And you care nothing for the
vagaries of the weather neither. Mr.
Saxe."

An Uncanny Moment.
'l’he words were stilled on Saxes lips
by an almost deafening crash of thun
der. As he followed Jex into the shop
a flash of lightning cut through the dark
ness of the shop like a sword.
The rat. that up till now had sat un- |

dating itself to his every movement wilh
an agility born of long practice, uttered
a frightened cry. and. jumping down,
ran helter-skelter into the shop.
Saxe took off his dripping hat and shook
ii unconcernedly on the floor.
"Quite an operatic entrance, my excel

Appropriate what? I’m expecting a
friend to meet tup here I suppose he

“Surely, sir: surely " The old man

groveling servility, but there was nothing

Dear. dear, how very unfortunate.”
“A’er.v." • said Saxe “And the con
founded nuisance of an Inquest tomorrow
also.”
“An Inquest?” one might have imag
ined that there was almost a startled
note in the old man’s voice as he
turned
“Yes I've plenty to worry me without
you starting to complain. If I haven't
been here, you've not been the loser,
have you?”
“Complaining Mr Saxe. the very
ideer!” The old man made a hasty dis
claimer. His tone ran on .in an almost
whining apology, as he led the way into
the little back shop
“We always miss your visits, sir: and
the little lass has been dull-like the last
weeks."
“Dull, has she!” Saxe gave a short
laugh. “How is the little scapegrace?”
He did not wait for. nor appear to pay’
any heed to the old man’s reply. He had
followed him into the back parlor. Inw
rafted like the shop, and packed with a
heterogeneous collection nf furniture, and
was examining a ccllection of prints that
bung without any pretence at arrange
ment on thp smoke-grimed walls. But
that he had heard was evident by' the
words with which he broke in carelessly
on Jex's flow of talk.
“Getting on well at school, Is she?
i That « good. Cockney’ accent ripening, f I
suppose? How's her mother* No need!
to ask-her sort are"—
He paused, for at that moment the
shop bpll rang a.nd. glancing over the cur
iain that obscured the lower h'alf of the
shop door. Saxe saw that Jack Rimington
had entered the shop.
He went forward tn meet him.
Samuel Jex lingered a moment in the
; low-ceillnged parlor, a man w’hose face
i was suddenly transformed by a look of
t livid haired, whose thin lips moved, ut
i iering voiceless imprecations.
Such hatred speaking* in the watching
pose of that bent figure, such malignancy
in tht suddenly curled lips and the wide
staring eyes. It almost seemed as
though, if looks were an index to the
thoughts of the heart, if wishes had sud
denly been vivified into deeds, perhaps
sensation-loving London might have giv
en a second mystery of life and death to
gloat over when the later editions of the
evening papers came reeking hot from
the press.
i “Grandad! Grandad! Mammy's need

At ihe sound of that shrill-calling voice
a mask seemed io fall aver Samuel Jex's
face, '’filing anger and hatred and ptaliue
with that look of half-smiling resignation
ihai had shown (here as he stood looking
down the street. With r swift, inter
rogatory glance at the men. Saxe and his
companion, now talking together in the
shop, he opened a door that gave on to a
woden staircase and went slowly up to
the rooms above the shop.
Jack Rimington and Raul Sax*» faced
each other in this little shop like cau
tious duelists.

the uncertain, half-dazed man of the

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
SHE IS NOT FAIR TO YOU.
Dear Miss F’airfax:
I am 21 and am very mm b in love
with a very beautiful young girl. But.
in spite of ail my efforts, she doos not
recognize my love, but receives all
presents which 1 have given her.
I’. R \V.
She should not accept you- gifts un
less an engagement exists, and you
wrong yourself by ha’nging around in
this dangling fashion. Unless she will
positively accept your love, take it to
some girl who will treat it better.
YOU ARE TOO TRAGIC.
Heat Miss Fairfax:
lam in love with a young man. lb
seem.s to care for me a little, but
every time lie sees me talking to any
young man he joins us. and to make me
jealous lie tells the other young man to
tell some of hi* other gin friends lie
wants to make a date. E, |,.
if that is his notion of a pleasantry
you must accept It as such and refuse
to let it annoy you. I am afraid toil
have encouraged him In it by showing
that lie is making ydu jealous. Don't
ever display any jealousy and I am sure
he will quit the silly practice.
DON'T LET HIM CALL AGAIN.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'or the last three weeks there has
been a young man calling on me quit
often, but he has also been keeping
-steady company with a girl acquaint
ance of mine for at least six moi th
While in my company he lias hinleir to
me of being tired of this young lady,
although he still calls on het.
W. L. \V.
In calling on both he is loyal to:
neither. That Is enough to condemn
him, and when he adds to this offense
by telling one girl he is tired of the
other he is too fickle to deserve ordina
ry respect. Have nothing more to do
with him. Such a man brings happi
ness to no woman.
TELL HIM YOUR MOTHER'S
VIEWS.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am engaged to a young man who
has given me several -’ostly gift- tall
jewelry!, but has not xiven me an\
ring. Ho Imagines. I guess that the
others answer the purpose. Now. my
mother will not buy me anything to
ward my coming wedding, nor will she
announce my engagement until ho doe<
so. I did not think th, ring neces
sary. My aunt, with whom 1 live. say«
that 1 am right. EDITH.
An engagement ring is not a vita' j
necessity, but It is a pretty custom,.|
and 1 am sure your lover's failure t.-j
get one. is due to thoughtlessness.
Tell him your mothoi insist-- on
ring, and I am sure you will be v. c.i ■-
inc one the next day.
A FOOLISH GIRL.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 21 and keep company with a
voung man three '-ears my senior. Wo
have set the day of tlie wedding, but I
don't think I love this young man aS
one should love a husband. Ho loves
me very much and 1 don't know of any
body I like better. My folks think it
will be a very good match. The only
thing against him Is that he is not an
American and speaks broken English.
Go back on my word I can not, and I
know ft will break his heart.
TROUBLE.
You have been very foolish to let
matter.? drift in this wav. You will hu
miliate the young man and distress
your parents by breaking the engage
ment at this late hour, but this you
must do rather than marry him unless
you love him "as one should love a hus
band." Rut be su:e of yourself first. A
great deal of unhappiness would be
avoided if you had known your own
mind from the first.
SHE HAS THAT PRIVILEGE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am n young man eighteen ySars old.
1 have been keeping company with a
young lady five years my senior. She
seems to care for me quite a lot. but
she will pay attention to other fellows
when I am not mound and lot them
come to see lie’’. I have spoken to her
about it. but can not get her to stop.
L. W. W.
You are not engaged, and she has the
p’ivilege of accepting attentions from
other men. Moreover. » youth of nine
teen is too young to think pf being en
gaged. So got ovet the notion that
yon nrc being wronged, or that your

GRAND CANADIAN TOUR

seven states and Canada, covering 2.-"00

inly 8 in a special I’lilliuan train through
physical perfection to make a pretty
girl.
First of all, It takes a good disposi
tion and a sense of humor.
The pretty girl must master her
moods, because a mood, if it's an un
pleasant one, often clings and becomes
a bad habit that is enough to spoil th*
prettiest girl in the world.
Take all those pretty habit's, de
spondency. peevishness, even lazi.ne.-.-.
Sueli things can be conquered by a de
termined effort of the will and physical
exercise.
Rules For Laziness.
When you wake up feeling depressed
or lazy, jump up. take a quick sponge
bath and make yourself sing if you've
the slightest talent that way.
Hurry with your dressing and tidy
ing and get out Into the open afr nr
ocr upy y ourself with something beside*
your own thoughts—some piece of hard
work you have shirked along up to
now. Plunge into It and get It done.
Learn to discipline your moods in this
way. and every time you do it you will
find it easier the next time.
While one sort of graduate simply
"stays put" naturally, the other kind
overworks, putting too much strain ori
brain and muscle. '
She is the girl who says she doesn't
need a vacation, or who spends her va
cation in stp'h a strenuous - persult of
pleasure that she returns completely
frazzled out.
Vacation Is a very important thing.
So is Sunday .
One Day of Re*t.
The command to take one day of rest
in each week is being slighted more
and more when one thinks of the hard
work we all have enjoying ourselves on
Sunday, and many people, especially
young girls, refuse to realize that the
j summer vacation is the time to recu
' perate, not to spur one's tired body to
, further feats of physical endurance.
Whether y ou are spending your sum
mer vacation at home or in the moun :
'.line, at tlie seaside or visiting anti
iraveling, try to make the time one of
; physical benefit, mental change afid
| res).
Make ;m effort to be out of doors
i whenever you can and have clothing of
|ihc simple and sensible kind, the soi
; vou don't need to worry about,
j Take an extra allowance of sleep
[ Few young girls sleep enough, anyhow.
Try a nap in the middle of the, day.
If you are of the energetic type, make
yourself lazy. If you are indolent, use
tlie summer months to learn some kind
of profitable form or exorcise or a
course of study w hich will he useful to
you In the fall.
Remember that tlie girl of eighteen
is not us strong as the normally healthy
woman of 3ft. and that she should von
scrv e her strength and energy during
j the summer and lay in a supply of
j health for the winter months.
If possible, I advise her not to get
tanned, but to wear hats and veils, even
if they are a nuisance, not so much
because of the complexion as because
of the eyes. The glaring sunlight is
bad for the eyes, and blinking at the
sun makes early wrinkles and ugly
fa< es. Bathe the face In a basin of hike
warm w ater with a t,<spoonfitF of bak-
Ing soda for prickly heat or summer
rash. Put a good handful of the soda
into the bath tub. The red spot* will
heal quickly.
