"Veil, vot iss diss new He of yours T "This is a true one," averred the Pilot in spite of the Captain's look of incredulity. "There was a man on board the excursion boat who had a dog with him. In the afternoon the man got tired of fishing and fell asleep on the deck. Would you believe it" "I vouldn’L" said the Captain. "Well, anyway." the Pilot went on "thia dog held the line while his mas ter was asleep, and when he got a bite he would bark and bark until the man woke up and pulled in the flab."

There is the place where you may find the mother, with a round baby in the comfort ing hollow between her knees, and over her shoulder bends the man who loves them anti labors for both. This is a happy and fair thing to see, and there are many folks who pass that way. Some stop to look with the eyes of their hearts turned backward, some look with a tender smile in their eyes, some with hope that they’ll be able sometime to-stop at that place themselves and never come away. Oh. and then there’s the place where a little shabby child presses her grimy baby hands and her wistful little nose against the, shop window and watches another little child in embroidery and handwoven linen pick out the “regular life size” doll that she likes best. That is a most sad place, and folks pass there quickly, or duck their faces away so they will not see. Then there is the place “THE GATES OF SILENCE” * By META SIMMINS * AUTHOR OF “HUSHED UP” TODAY’S INSTALLMENT. After? Today was "after." Today was the end of everything She struggled to a sitting posture In the bed and, pushing back the dark hair from her face, stared out before her The drflg mists were effectually fled now. Sitting there, complete realiza tion of the present rushed in upon her. Realization of what bad driven her to that heavy dose of the drug that might easily have been fatal, against which the chemist had earnestly warned her. Reali zation the appalling fact that yester day a man hud seen sentenced to death the man a woman loved. Sentenced to death and It was she, Edith Barrington, who had put those bloodhounds of the law upon his track who had so success fully run him down. The resemblance of that anonymous letter written at the dead Levasseur's Instigation had become an obsession with Mrs. Barringfon The fact that Rlming ton’s arrest had occurred before the po lice could possibly have received her let ter had completely escaped her mind. Luring the hours of the trial she had waited like a woman on the rack for some mention of it—perhaps for some identification of its writer and had been amazed rather than relieved that no men tion of It had been made. To have sent a man to his death —and such a death! And that man little Bet ty's lover! AU Edith Barrington’s own grief, all thoughts of her shattered world, her broken heart, receded before that thought. Sitting there she saw a picture of the every necessary expense for the whole tour of TWO WEEKS for only $75.00, Same tour of one week, without Now York features, only $55.00.

She knew what their father could be—Sir George Lumsden, who was selfishness Inoarnate at the best of times—how he would act now, when, as he conceived it, his honor bad been outraged by his daughter's flout ing of his commands by appearing at the trial of the man whose connection with her he had publicly repudiated In the press. At another time, Edith Barrington might almost have smiled at the thought of her father's fury at this public shame of both his daughters—those two swans of his. beside whom all other women stood confessed as mere gray geese. Deep Mystery. The awful mystery of It all! Edith Barrington's fainting- tit in the gallery at the court had hidden from her that last scene of all. when Betty had risen and striven to speak. She bad read garbled accounts of It—" Pathetic and dramatic scene;" "prisoner’s sweetheart faints In court" they had wrung her heart, but they had given her no clew. Yet of one thing she was certain —Bet- ty knew something that might have saved Rlmlngton—Betty had been In Tempest street on the night of the murder —and yet Betty had no spoken. Why? Sitting there with her hands clasper around her knees, her somber eyes staring out into the drab lodging house room and seeing nothing ofl t. Edith Barrington asked her self that question again and again. Last night, worn out In mind and body, she had silenced it by the drug that had brought her sleep. Now it refused to be silenced. It rang Insistently In her heart. Why had not Betty told all that she knew? “She must speak," the woman In the bed said, suddenly.

It was she who, years past now, had sown the seed of this last harvest, on that morning when, secretly, against all prudence and obedi ence. she had entered into that marriage with the plausible scoundrel she had last seen lying dead —shot by Anthony Bar rington's hand. A Trivial Sin. Her sin—such a white, romantic, trivial sin as it had seemed —-a secret rather than a sin, surely! And yet what a terrible harvest from its seed! Those years of de ception of her husband.with their lies and subterfuges, culminating In that resurrec tion of the dead which had necessitated Betty’s effort to raise the money for the blackmail and Its awful result; Levas seur's death, that had stained Tony's hand with blood; and now Jack Rlmlngton—to be "hanged by the neck until he was dead!" The horror of It all! Right and silent the woman sat, and seemed to see her fault like a stone flung in a still pond, sending wide and everwidenlng circles till the whole placid surface was in motion. It mustn't be—lt couldn’t be! Some thing must be done to save the innocent man. unjustly- condemned! I’ntll now she seemed to have been liv ing In a dream of dread; living from hour to hour with no future before her, with only the menacing past forever treading on her heels. Now. when she had noth ing to lose, when the worst had happen ed —it was not heroic, certainly, but she must act. She must come out of her hid ing place and seek out Betty. Even yet the condemned man might be saved. She fumbled at the neck of her night gown and drew out a long, slender chain, on which hung a miniature of her little son. The truthful gray eyes- so like his father’s that their look pierced her heart —gazed back at her, the pouting lips smiled. Perhaps she would never see him agaUi now. That night when she had slipped Into the dimly lighted nursery and kissed him while be slept, she had told herself that she would never see him again, even while in her heart she had looked forward to that moment of re union when Toney, frightened by what his cruelty and mistrust had driven her to, sought her out and brought her home. More than a month ago! More than a month's absence and silence! Tony cared nothing . not even for the scandal of her dlsapearance. Her eyes blind with tears, she kissed the pictured face of the child and slipped from the bed. * Come what might, she must go down to Weybourne and see Betty. The Landlady. The landlady knocked at the door be fore Mrs. Barrington's toilet was com pleted and entered, bearing a cup of tea and a slice of burnt, unbuttered toast on an Iron tray. "Thank you—how good of you!” Edith said, looking around. “I did not ring— but I shall be glad of some tea before 1 go out.” "No, miss, yon didn’t ring," the woman said. In an aggrieved tone; "but It was getting that late I was a bit anxious. One never knows with unattached ladies what may be 'appenlng, and I'm sure— speakin' quite respec’ful —I 'ad no stom ach for any 'error 'appenlng in my 'ouse. Lor'! the papers is fu!' of them.

Every second page in the Book of the World is a picture of lovers. And in that place the honeymoon shines sticki ly, sweetly, all the time, and there’s a great sound of kisses and sighs. Oh, yes, there are a heap of strange sights and famous ones to see. And one of them, if you go over the hills and far away, or if you stroll down the dust of Broadway, you’ll some day, any day, see—a shrouded creature called Time, the wish to stay in his eyes, but his feet always hurrying, hurrying—and behind him clutching his flying gown, coaxing and weeping, and wheedling, and some few industriously patting cold cream and rouge into their faces, some in shell-pink veils, because ’tis said they throw the rosy light of youth over an aging face, stream a vast procession of the gentle sex intent on making Time forget and dally just a little while. This isn’t exactly a pleasant place, where you see this thing. Mrs. Barrington cut her short. ”1 don’t know what you mean exact ly," she said, In a trembling voice. "But you need have no fear of any horror where I am concerned. I shall not be returning to Tachbrook street”—hastily she sought for her purse and laid the coins equiva lent to the week's rent on the tray be side the cup of tepid tea. It left her hardly enough to pay the third-class sin gle fare down to Weybourne—after that she would be a beggar, dependent on lodger’s manner, seized the tray and flounced out of the room. Edith saw her go gladly —there had been something ghoul-like in the woman’s eyes when she entered. Mrs. Barrington guessed noth ing of the frequent visits the woman had SICK DAUGHTER NOW WELL Mrs. C.

YOU ARE RIGHT. Dear Miss Fairfax; I am seventeen and have one very bad fault. I just can't bear smoking. Every young man I know seems to smoke more or less, and after going out with them once, I do not care to go out again. I d 0 not want to be thought of as a crank, but would it be improper for me to request them not to smoke when in my company? M v. You are in the right. If more girls were like you there would be fewer men who are smoking themselves to death. Not only is it proper for you to ask them not to smoke in your presence, but it is very improper for them to da It without first asking your permis sion. You have your ideals. Stick to them. It will mean your graater happiness in the end. A GOOD MAN TO FORGET, Dear Miss Fairfax: I have known a young man for about five years, but have been go ing out with him for only the past year. This" young man has told ins of his love, which is reciprocated. He has been very kind to me and treated me with respect. We had no quarrels, but suddenly he stop . ped calling at my house and did not even write stating why CONSTANT READER The man who loves a girl never de serts her as this man has deserted you. He owes you an explanation of his absence. And you, my dear, owe it to yourself not to seek it! You must never let him know that you are awato his visits have ceased, treat him with the indifference his cold-blooded action deserves, and teach yourself io forget him. HOW GRACE BENSON BECAME FAMOUS FOR THE BEAUTY OF HER HANDS AND ARMS Free Prescription That Can Be Pre pared at Home Without Expense. Grace Benson, famous for the mar velous beauty of her hands and arms ir. a recent interview, says; “If I could tell every woman about the prescrip tion that has caused all this talk about my hands and arms they could every one of them make their hands and arms just as beautiful as mine. I am glad to have the opportunity to give my receipt free to the world. It will help every woman to improve her per sonal appearance.” When I asked her if she would al low me to publish the prescription, she quickly answered: "Certainly, only too glad to have you do it.” Turning to a desk, she wrote it on a slip of paper and handed it to me. Here it is: “Go to any drug store, get an empty two ounce bottle, also a one-ounce bottle of Kulux Compound. Pour the entire bottle of Kulux into the two-ounce bot tle. add quarter of an ounce of witch hazel, then fill with water. Apply night and morning.” She further said: "This prescrip tion makes the skin transparent and removes all defects, such as freckles, tan, sun spots, roughness and ruddi ness. A single application works a marvelous transformation. Where low collars are worn it can be applied to the neck with equally as startling re sults. It is absolutely harmless, and will positively not'stimulate or pro duce a growth of hair.”
