the stillness of the court was not broken

rubbed hfs brow nervously. Then the an

staccato and unnatural, that at another
m oment it might have raised a smile.

"Guilty!"
The faint rustle, like the rustle of wind
ever arass, which had passed over the
court at the first breaking of the silence.
Increased, Somewhere In those packed
benches a women gave a cry: a second
answered It, to be silenced Instantly.
There was an agitated movement. The
woman who had cried first had subsided,
fainting. No one heeded her, not even her
companion of yesterday, with the smelling
sa'ts " 'and'y" against such a contingency.
■■And that is the verdict of you all?"
"Os every one of us.."
Once again the old fierce justice had
been done. A life for a life—a life given
for a life taken--even if the life to be
paid out were an Innocent one. < Ince
m-Te blind Justice ploughed on in her car,

Caught On.
''Guilt''!'’ The words came to Jack
Rimington’s ears accompanied not by
tears, but by a gust of Fate's laughter.l
Caught on! And not a commiserating
word or look from one of those friends
who would have crowded round him had
Fate smiled and not frowned; if Fate had
spared that holocaust at Westport and the
magic comedy of the house of the clocks.
Then, like a stab of agony, the thought
of Betty' She was. staring at him, and
the sight of her face was like a knife
turned in his heart What did that look
mean’’ Wh' did she stretch out her hand
and let it fall? Heaven!—she was not
going to make a scene—a useless scene
that would result, in nothing but the
bringing about her of the bloodhounds of
publicity. His lips moved in a voiceless
prater, not for himself, hut for the women
he loved. God help her to be brave- help
her to be slle'hi:
“Not guilty!" The same clear, ringing
voice, in which be had uttered his plea,
responding now to the usual question as
to whether he could adduce any reason
why sentence should not be passed against
him "I declare before God that I am
not guilty."
Nothing dramatic, nothing sensational,
onlv a brave mam meeting his fate, as an
Englishman should, and showing an un
broken front to friend and fo P alike.
There was something In Jack Rimington’s
demeanor at that supreme moment which
shook the conviction of more than one
spectator, something in she carriage of his
upright form, his unruffled look that
helped to dispel the unfavorable impres
sion that had grown steadily through the
two days of the trial.
ibe intense silence of the court was
broken by sudden rustling of crisp

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * By Beatrice Fairfax
PERHAPS SHE WOULDN’T CARE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young man of twenty
two. and have been keeping com
pany with a girl a few years my
junior. Lately she has become
jealous because she saw me dancing
with other girls, and this resulted
in a quarrel.
1 would like to discontinue my
acquaintance with her because of
her foolish actions. 1 do not think
that quarreling on trifling things
would make a happy home. I
would like to tell her about it. but
do. not want to make her feel bad
about it. G. M.
Would you object if she danced with
other men? Are you as fair to her as
you demand that she be to you?-
Ymj are right in •thinking that quar
reling so much means unhappiness for
both, but don't be too sure that her
heart will break if you "discontinue
the acquaintance."
If she has the right sort of pride, she
will welcome the release.
TEACH HER TO BELIEVE.
Lear Miss Fairfax: ,
I've been keeping company with a
young lady for the past three
months and I love her dearly. How
can I prove my love to her? 1 show
it and site knows I love her, but
she does not believe me.
The reason she does not believe is
she has kept company with many
other fellows, and she says 1 am
like the rest. .1. F.
The girl undoubtedly has had an ex
perience in which her faith in mankind
was badly shattered.
You must teach her you a e better
than the others. She must learn, there
is a devotion that never fails. You
are honest, you are honorable: you are
true. She can not accept al! this at
one gulp. Let your conduct each- day
prove it.
HE IS LOYAL. AT LEAST.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I like a young man who calls at
my home. When alone with me he
reprimands me for anything I did
or said while out with boys and
girls. The part I do not under
stand is, should any one date to
say anything against me. be will
call this person down, no matter
where or with whom.
PER PL EXED.
He finds fault with you, but it is to
yopr face. And his defense of you
when you are not present is pleasing
and tine.
Don't forget that such loyalty is rare.
Perhaps his criticism of your Conduct is
deserved. Did you ever think of that?
Perhaps it has a better origin than
simply a desire to find fault.
YOU DON'T LOVE HIM.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am nineteen years of age and
have known a young man for the
past three months. This young
man comes to See me twice a week
and is very prompt in keeping his
engagements. During the last three
weeks I have been quarreling with
him constantly, merely through
jealous’'
H< has given up all his girl,
friends, of which he had many, for
me. Now. do you think it would
- be proper for me to give up my
gentlemen friends? He has spoken
of marriage to me. Do you think I
should entertain such an idea, only
knowing him such a short time? On
his last visit I had a quarrel with
him and feel very sorry, as it was
my fault. Do you think it would be
proper for me to tell him so when
he calls again, and will you kindly
let me know how 1 can stop this
constant quarreling, as I dearlv
love him? ERA STI'S, '(ifi.
Love can not be defined ." ? "liking
one young man more than all other
admirers.” Perhaps you don't like them
very much.
If you quarrel constantly, you should
not think of mgrriage, for the quarrels,
after that event would be inure serious
and more painful.
He is more generous than yon, as he
gave up all .his friends for you and you

1 am deeply in love with a young
man two years my senior, and have
tried every way to win him. He
visits me frequently and often
sends me presents, but still goes
out with other girls. W. B. H.
You have made a mistake in letting
him see you love him. Your second
error was in accepting his gifts.
Accept no more. Put yourself a lit
tle above all other girls, and I am sure
he will think more of you. He will at
least begin to take a special Interest
in you. and therein lies the awakening
of love.

IF there had been anything In The
Complete Writers Friend
that fitted the ease, Lysander John
Appleton's task would have been easy.
But though he looked it through from
cover to cover, he found nothing.
"What's the use of writing one. any
way'.”’ he grumbled to his wife. "He
knows I’m sorry."
“You men.” replied his wife, "never
do the Proper Thing. I have written
all the letters of condolence and con
gratulation to your kin ever since I
married you. Now. I insist on your
taking a turn."
He sweat blood for an hour, and tried
so hard that finally Mrs. Appleton and
Daysey Marine wrote models for him,
and left him to his task.
Mrs. Appleton's and Daysey Mayme's
letters were very much alike. There
was much in them about Reconciliation,
and a Reunion Up Yonder, and the
Dear Departed being Better Off. and
Daysey Mayme wound up hers with the
Beautiful Sentiment that "The same
hand of providence that dealt you this
Blow will bend a tender Ear to your cry
of Distress."
Lysander John scratched his head at
this beautiful sentiment.
"If I wrote Tom a letter like that,"
he said, "he'd stop here on his way
back from the cemetery to thrash me."
His wife had expressed the regret
many time? In his presence that there
are no men these days as polite as

life of Chesterfield, “that you will do me
