''Guilt''!'’ The words came to Jack Rimington’s ears accompanied not by tears, but by a gust of Fate's laughter.l Caught on!

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 paper Like a man forgetful of his sur roundings, Paul Saxe had crushed some papers, on which he had been _ making notes from time to time, in his slim, yel- 1 low hands.

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 Do You Know— . 1 Wireless has done great hings for men in general, and for Mr. Pickerel], the operator on the Vasari, in particu lar. The vessel recently reached Sandy Hook. Ry the rolling of the ship a cage, containing a leopard for the zoo logical gardens in New York, was over turned and the beast escaped. Mr. Pickerel was in his cabin and the door was open-. He was watching the needle, and in the semi-darkness he saw the leopard peeping in. While the beast was making up his mind what to do. the operator flooded the cabin with the electric light. It had the desired effect, and the terrified leopard beat a retreat.

I am sure you don't love him. and that such a stormy courtship as yours means rough sailing if you wed. HAVEN'T YOU LET HIM KNOW IT? Dear Miss Fairfax: 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. MUCH DEPENDS ON THE MAN. Dea r M1 s>s Fa i rfa x: 1 have known a young man for a month or so.

"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.

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 Chesterfield. chesterfield! A happy thought! He would read a. life of Chesterfield and find his model letter there. He found It!
