communicating with the bed room. “The
information I have to give you Is not. such
as I am willing to have shared, at least
for the present."
"You may close the door,” said Mr
Chailoner, coldly "But is it necessary
for you to give me the information you

the man thus addressed stepped to the

back to his former position, "would it be
easier trr you to go through the night

lips while I am in teh mood to speak?”
The answer was slow in coming. The
courage which bad uphold this rapidly

put so cruelly upon it. He faltered and

loner rose. Their heads were now more
nearly on a level and Mr. Brotherson’s
voice remained low, as he proceeded, with
quiet intensity;
"There has been a time and it may
exist yet, God knows! when you thought
me In some unknown and secret way the
murderer of your daughter. I do not
quarrel with the suspicion; it was Justi
fied, Mr. Chailoner I did kill your daugh
ter, and wltli this hand! I can no longer
deny it."
Ihe wretched father swayed, following
the gesture of the hand thus held out;
but Ik did not full, nor did a sound leave
his lips.
Brotherson went coldly on:
"I did it because I regarded her treat
memos my suit as Insolent. I have no
mercy for any such display of intol
erance on the part of the rich and the
fortunate. I hated her for it; I hated her
class, herself and all she stood for. To
strike the dealer of such a hurt I felt
to la my right. Though a man of
small beginnings and of a stock which
such as you call common, I have a pride
which few of your blood can equal. I
could not work, or sleep or eat with such
a sting In my breast as she had planted

to kill her. and I did. How ? Oh, that
was easy, though it has proved a great
stumbling block to the detectives, as 1
knew It would! I shot her but not with
an ordinary bullet. My charge was a
small icicle mad* deliberately for the
purpose. It had strength enough to pene
trate, but it left no trace behind It. ‘A
bullet of ice for a heart of lee,’ I had said
in the torment of my rage. But the word
was without knowledge. Mr. Clialloner. I
see it now; I have seen It for two whole
weeks I did not misjudge her condemna

Some Advice.
"Here is where I’m going to give
some advice," Miss Fisher went on.
"Never let an ugly child realize its own
plainness. Nowadays so much can be
done to make people pretty, and it's
such a heart-rending sensation to know
that one is plain, that every child
should be spared it.
“1f a child has any one feature that is
good she could be saved from utter
homeliness, and nowadays when beauty
is so much a question of mind and will,
there is always a chance for the plain
girl.
"But Miss Fisher, how did you effect
that transformation in yourself?” 1 in
quired.
Miss Fisner beamed her enchanting
smile.
“I just love compliments," she said,
"even when I don’t believe them."
But I insisted that the little girl who
had made "Dearie” famous all over the
country while she was sweet and at
tractive could not lay claim to the
dashing beauty of the Sallle Fisher who
brings the "Womanhaters dub” to
their knees every night at the Astor
theater
I Love Beauty.
"If my looks have improved," said
Miss Fisher, “it’s because T love beauty
and desire it so ardently. You can do a
great deal by study, you can improve
yourself physically by exercise, diet and
care, but I think back of it all it is the
i mind, the beauty loving spirit, the de
sire to improve in every way. to study,
to learn and accomplish something. All
tills shows in one’s face, became the
face is Just the reflector of the soul, and
as you grow to think, and to care for
beautiful things, you naturaliy reflect
your constant thoughts.
"If she determines not to sink into
the slough of homeliness, or let others
push her into it, there is always a
chance that she win grow into a pretty
girl, and if she can’t be really pretty she
can at least be an interesting one,”
As she had gained interest in her
subject. Miss Fisher's natural!)’ brilliant
color had come back into her cheeks.
Her bright, eyes gleamed and, despite
the medicine bottles, she was her
healthy, vigorous self again, giving out
that sparkling vitality which Is called
personal magnetism, and of which she
has a quite inexhaustible fund.

CONSOLING LYSANDER JOHN.
AFTER a man is married he doesn’t
get as much sympathy between
New Year’s afld Christmas as an
unmarried man receives between
Chrisynas and New Year’s.
His wife doesn’t think he deserves
any. and other women are afraid to ex
press any. Which is well, for every
wife’s term of office is endangered when
her husband receives sympathy from
other women.
Lysander John Appleton doesn't know
what the tender grace of sympathy
means, from men or women. Which ex
plains why he felt mildly curious the
other morning when a friend met him
on the street, shook his hand warmly,
and, in a voice full of sympathy said,
"Brace up. old boy,” and passed on.
Lysander John scratched his head in
bewilderment as he watched his friend
out of sight. AVhy should he brace up?
What was wrong?
Reaching the office, he met another
friend, who grabbed his hand. "Lysan
der John," began this friend, "I ” but
his emotions overcame him, and he
could say no more.
Lysander John worked all day with a
vague feeling of apprehension, which
was increased by the peculiar actions of
other friends he met when on his way
home at night.

curt nods of greeting, clasped his hand
Advice to the
Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax.
WHY SHOULDN’T SHE?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am to be engaged very soon.
My lady friend attended an affair,
and as I do not care for dancing, I
arrived at 11:30 p. m. It was un
derstood that when I came she was
to sit with me the rest of the even
ing. A young man asked her to
dance, and, knowing that I would
object, she accepted.
CONSTANT READER.
The statement that you are to be en
gaged very soon doesn’t constitute an
engagement by any means.
You had no right to object to an in
nocent dance. On the contrary, you
should be grateful that you had any of
her company at all. She made some
concessions in “sitting out” a dance
with you. Don’t be selfish* and ask
more.
A COMMON WOE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am eighteen years old and am
in love with a young man three
years my senior. I met this young
man about one year ago. but did
not care for him as much then as I
do now. Six months ago he became
acquainted with a friend of mine
and has been calling on her since.
DOROTHY.
If Dorothj will re-read her letter to
me she will discover away to win back
her wandering lover.
She says she did not care for him
until he began calling on another. Hu
man hearts are much the same. Jeal
ousy stirred her love into life. Use the
same weapon and his love will awaken.
Don’t fret and mope. Laugh with
another man and the stray-away will
return.
