At the sight of the man she loved everything was forgotten the wom an watching her. the sick child, the man's i anger She knew only the Intensity of ! her desire for him as she went forward quickly, her hands outstretched. The look with which he met her eyes was terrible “You have come at last?” he said “Woman, my child cries for you. only for that— “ He broke off, mastering himself with ; an effort, and the housekeeper, terrified by his appearance, dreading the scene which seemed Inevitable, stopped past them out of the room Outer Darkness. Barrington's contemptuous words, the] hatred with which ’hey were uttered, lashed his wife's pride to her aid.

"I sent for you because my child cried i for his mother. and as for the rupture that depends on the illness or health of the child He is the shield between you and your shame I made that bargain with myself the day you left me- that so long as the child lived, so long you might pursue your course unchecked. You wouldn't have starved I<l have seen io that All 1 cared was to be rid of the sight of you." He checked the angry torrent of his words, for his wife bad moved towards the door In silence. He followed her "Are you going upstairs?" "I am going to my son." she replied. ■ and passed quickly up Hie staircase out : of his sight She did not go Immediately to the nur sery. As she passed the door she lis tened for one agonizing moment, and heard the continuous wall of the child's querulous little voice. Then she fled as fast as her feet would carry her along the corridor to her room. To her surprise Victorine was wailing : for her "Milady got the telegram"" she asked, . after giving her greeting. "Yes yes. A white gown, Victorine I can not go to him like this to Master Phil, who's calling for me "Le pauvre petit!" said the sympathetic Victorine. "Monsieur is distracted " As she spoke her fingers were already deftly busy with Mrs Barrington's hair, and in an Incredibly short time the Frenchwoman had transformed her mis tress from the shabby, pallid. terror stricken-looking lodger of 'I aehbrouk Street, to her own beautiful, gracious self, a lovely figure in one of the white gowns that Tony loved, delightfully soft and clinging, delicately perfumed a sight to bring Joy and comfort to the little suf ferer Edith opened the door of the night nur sery softly, and, paying no attention to the frowning surprise of the white-cap).cd hospital nurse who sat there placidly knitting, glided to the side of the cot.

H I A-M ■! m in of twentv-onc ! and In love with a girl of eight een. Wo love each other dearly, but her parents object to her going out with me. How cun I make it up with her parents?" So writes William I >., who Is finding, perhaps for the first time in his life, what it means to overcome dislike. He may be an exemplary young man, witli every intention honorable. He may have a good income, come of a good family, and possess every quality that would be desired in a son-in-law. Hut he wants to take Daughter away from her home forever. He wants to rob the household of its greatest treas ! ure. If he had all the virtues of the an gels, and sought to do this, very few parents could look upon his scheme i for stealing their daughter as a wise I nature's old-fashiohed plan, and wel come him. 1 No fatlu r who finds his greatest joy in the daughter of his house will re member that some twenty years or , more previous he did the same thing. "That," he will say. when reminded lie once called at a home for the pur- > pose of winning the daughter's love and taking her away "Is different." Now He Is “The Robbed.” The "difference" ■is that in those days he was the robber and in these days he is the man who Is robbed.

I objection to all young men in general, and to Daughter’s favorites in par ticular, William D. will find his path up-hill, though he have all the virtues of an angel. He must know that the opposition is not against him as an individual. It Is that which all mothers and fathers feel against the established order of creation. An order that gives them children to bear in agony and to raise in .toil and pain, and takes those children from them just when they have reached an age when recompense seems in sight! It is true they have had all the joy of their children in this way, but 1 anxiety, uncertainty, fear. toll, sick ness, and sometimes privation, at tended. The children are grown. They have passed successfully through the phys ical Ills of childhood, and the greater perils as a more mature age. Father takes a longer rest than be fore. He Is dreaming of the son al- ' most old enough to help him. Mother finds time to fold her hands, for her daughters /have reached an age when they lighten her tasks. I Then son falls in love and begins to devote his time and labor and talents ■ to building a nest of his own. Then some young man comes to woo daugh ter. and the mother and father are left . to face « lonely, helpless old age. A Lesson All Must Learn. My dear William D.. you are learn -1 fug a lesson that every young man has . had to learn. And the lesson teaches you understanding, patience, tenderness and the value of the girl you want for your wife. For this is always true —the more valuable a girl in her own home the more valuable she will be in the new. Wht n there is a feeling of relief w hen a girl marries and departs, it doesn't mean peace and happiness in the home to w hich she is going. There is nothing that William D. can do but wait. A period that must be | conducted as honorably and carefully | as if he w ere in line for some splendid j business opportunity and knew that the j eyes of thoSe in position to award it . were upon him. He must consider the likes and dis likes of the girl's mother and father. : If they object to late hours (and let u« . hope they do), he must have their Do YOU KnOW- Immigrants to Canada during the past fiscal year totaled over 350,000.

If they object to certain of his habits, it will be a good schooling and of ben efit to him in many other ways for him to overcome those habits. He must show that he Is no trifler. He must prove that he is not a drinking man. nor a spendthrift. He must carry a clean slate, a slate that shows no past misdeeds. He must be a son of whom his own parents are proud before he can expect the parents of the girl he loves to be proud to admit him into their family. All of which is not hard to do and to become, if a njan sincerely loves. SEVEN YEARS OF MISERY How Mrs. Bethune was Re stored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta ble Compound. I Sikeston, Mo.
