THE
One Woman’s Story .
By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER
CHAPTER XIX.
A S Mary Danfort h rode up hom
in the elevated on the April I
afternoon Just two years after
her first meeting with Gordon Craig, j
she found the sad thoughts tha* had j
been with her so long slipping away.
She was sure that her lover was j
thinking of her and that on this nn- i
niversary she would receive happy :
news of him. She almost believed .n
premonitions, and she remembered,
with a slight shudder, how once a
premonition sh< had had about h^r
father had been the forerunner of hi-»
death not long after. Why might not .
one also have a perrnonitlon of Joyous
happenings?
As she left the triln at Eighty-first '
street a voice i*uld close to her. “Why, !
Mary I>anforth! How do you do?” |
Turning with a start, she found her- i
self face to face with a former school
mate of whom she had seen nothing
for two years.
“Which way are you going?" aske 1
the girl after greetings had been ex
change d.
“I go westward,” replied Mary
briefly.
Working Downtown.
“Oh. too bad, for I go to Central
Park West. We are living in th"
same old place, you know, where you
used to come to see us. You never
come now.”
“No," acknowledged Mary. “I have
little time. I am working down
town.”
“Well, I want to talk to you a bit.”
said Elizabeth Prexton, who had al
ways liked Mary when the Danforths
were prosperous. “Suppose you walk
with me toward my home, or let me
walk with you toward yours. Which
shall it be?”
“I will go with you," replied Mary
quickly. She felt a reluctance of
which she was ashamed—to have th>s
patronizing acquaintance of former
days see the house in which she now
lived.
“It must be fine to be working f<»r
one’s self,” said Miss Preston as the
two girls sauntered along Eighty-flrst
street toward Central Park “Of
course I have no excuse for doing
that kind of thing, for niv father has
ph-ntv of money, and I am the only
daughter left at home. Put some-
t mes I get a little tired of eaae and
luxury and long to l»e independent.’’
Mary tried to smile. “‘He J'sts at
scars who never felt a wound.', ” site
quoted. “Perhaps if you had to work,
you would And what poems independ
ence to you now something like
s’a very.”
She regretted the words as soon
a» she had spoken them, for her
companion turned upon her a look
of pity.
“Oh, do you have to work as hard
as that?” she exclaimed. “I sup
posed that you only went into busi
ness after your father, died so that
you would not he entirely dependent
upon your mother. Surety your
father left her <’omfortably provided
for, did he not?"
“You Needn't Pity Me."
For a moment Mary did not
Iniwtr She woodtrid if Eliza
beth Preston was really Ignorant of
conditions, or if she was pretending
not to know how matters stood. In
either case, to tell her the truth was
the best thing. Put it was with an
effort that the weary girl spoke
“My father left all he had to my
mother Put he was unfortunate
in business Just before he— he died
You ate right in thinking I would
not be dependent upon my mother.
Put she has not die means to sup
port us both even if I were willing
to have her do so.”
“Oh,” cooed Miss Preston. “you
poor child! i am so sorry for you!”
“Thank you, but you need not pity
me at all,” retorted Mary testily. “I
am not an object of pity. I have a
position which I shall keep as long
as I wish, W'hich will not be long
Her temper was getting the better |
of her discretion, but Elizabeth
Preston’s patronage was unbearable *
to her. She determined to say no
more, but her companion's next i
speech swept away her barriers of re
serve.
“It was very fine of you to take j
that brave tone about it, Mary,” the
rich girl remarked, “but your trouble |
has told on you. You are looking |
ten years older than when you left
school. I wonder if my father might |
not be able to get you an easier sit
uation than you have now."
“I shall not hold any position much
longer.” said Mary, voice hard and
eyes glittering. “I expect soon to
change my entire mode of life ”
The other girl eyed her shrewdly.
“I suspect." she said in a tone that
was meant to he playful, “that you
are going to get married, my dear.”
Mary shrugged her shoulders.
"Perhaps!” she said nonchalantly.
“Here we are at Eighth avenue, arid
1 must turn hack h"me. Good-bye,’”
As she retraced her steps, indig
nation gave place to Joyous anticipa
tion. How strangely happy she was
this evening! She remembered that
Fletcher was going to call, and a
sudden sense of distaste at the pros
pect ot seeing him at this time sejzed
ner. She would not let him come
8t< pplng into a hotel on the cornet
of Eighty-first street, she called up
Pearsons' office. When she had left
the office Fletcher had been there
with her employer, and the two had
been smoking so comfortably that he
might possibly he there still. She was
not mistaken, and when Pearson an
swered the telephone she asked for
Mr. Fletcher. As briefly as possible
she suggested to her would-be caller
that she would prefer seeing him on
some other evening. He submitted
regretfully, but meekly, and she con
gratulated herself upon the reprieve.
Like a Phophecy.
As the girl walked along Eighty-
fourth street to her home, the glow
in the western sky seemed to her
excited imagination like a symbol 01
prophecy of happiness ahead of her.
Surely there would be a letter await
ing her! After all what did Elizabeth
Preston's chatter matter when one's
heart wan so full of peace? Even th
sordid block on which she lived seemed
less dingy and dirty than usual at
this sunset hour. HHe pushed her way
through the groups of janitors’ and
tenants’ children playing on the front
steps of the house in which she lived,
and, hurrying into the vestibule, peered
into the letter box bearing her name
Yea. there was the envelope with
Craig’s handwriting on It. She knew
It would be here! With eager Angers
she unlocked the letter box and drew
forth her treasure. She could not
wait until she got upstairs. The
sight of the handwriting was like a
draught of water to a thirsty soul.
Tearing open the envelope, she pulled
out the single sheet and read it by
the dim light from the hall chande
lier.

C IVILIZED people lived In Enypt
ten thousand years ago—so
long ago that the North Star,

another and a brighter star glittered
not far from the north jiolnt of the

The excavations recently made by
Professor Petrie, of the British School
of Archaeology, have established this
fact, whjch must appear very aston

old belief that the world Itself is only
about fi.OOO years old!

who.se descendants, but little changed
in their forms, are co-dwellers with

The nature of the excavations made
by Professor Petrie in Egypt may be
clearly seen in the photographs
which are here reproduced.
Works of Art.
There you see the beautifully carved
tables of stone and of alabaster, the
animal figures, the sphinxes, the spec
imens of pottery, and the granite sar
cophagi, or coffins, which that won
derful, prehistoric people made for
themselves.
There, too. you see some of the
skeletons of the “sacred” animals
which they honored with burial cere
monies hardly less elaborate than
those which were devoted to their
kings, queens and rulers. Professor
Petrie and his assistants have un
covered not less than 800 ancient
graves, rone of which are less than
about **,000 years old.
All of them tell the same story, viz:
that so long ago as that men had hl-
readv learned many of the arts which
we often think are peculiar to times
ineluded within the limits of written
history. Tin y could not merely build
strong and beautiful structures of
masonry and carve statues and shape
vases that excite the admiration of
architects and artists to-day, hut they
knew the use of the most precious
metals, and formed exquisite orna
ments of gold and silver.
These things must set one to think
ing. for we know that arts and sci
ences are long in being developed, re
quiring thousands of years, and that
no civilization can grow up except as
the result of many centuries of slow
advance. How far back, then, shouM
we have to go In order to find the real
beginnings of Egypt? Ten thousand
years must be but a step in that long
march of human progress! Th'
poles of the heavens may have swung
more than once completely round
their great 2t?.ft00-year orbit since th 1
land of the Nile began to bloom with
cultivation, and Its human inhabitants
started on their upward course.

Had It Labeled.

"Halloa!” breezily remarked the

"Well, I see you’ve got your trunk

ARE YOU SURE?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young lady 17 years of
age and come in contact with a
young man two years my senior.
I know’ this man loves me, and
his love is reciprocated. When
we meet, we always act Indiffer
ently. Now, in w hat way can we
g“t together to keep company, as
I know our parents would not
object, and our friends are aware
of the facts? ANTONETTE.
It takes something more than the
approval of parents and the knowl
edge of mutual friends that they Jo
approve to make a young man love a
girl.
I want you to have love; it is my
fondest hope for you; but I don’t be
lieve this man loves you. You say
he always acts indifferently toward
you. If he loved you, he wouldn’t do
that, and you would not have to look
for a way to win him.
APPEAL TO THE POLICE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I kept company with a young
man for three years and expected
to be married in the spring. My
parents objected to him. He was
very jealous and never took me
out or gave me anything. Last
summer 1 became acquainted with
a man eight years my senior. He
takes me out and says he loves
me. My folks like him and 1 love
him very dearly. He wants to
marry me. My first lover threat
ens me when he hears I am go
ing to get married. He writes
letters and when I don’t answer
he hangs around my house.
PERPLEXED.
A Jealous man like that is a dan
gerous person to know. You mas;
marry the second man. for he is ihe
one you love, and you must put an
* nd to all obnoxious attentions from
the first man. If your father can nM
help you, appeal to the authorities.
NOT SURPRISING.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young girl of seventeen.
About three months ago I met a
young man of eighteen. We met
by flirtation. When we had been
acquainted about a month h e pro
fessed his love for me, but since
then he has been going with other
girls and is very cool to me.
L. M.
Lightly won, lightly held. An ac
quaintance that begins in flirtation
usually terminates in the girl’s sor
row. The man is convinced she will
comfort herself with the next man
who flirts with her, and holds her love
lightly.
Won’t you please be a little more
reserved next time?
TREAT HIM THE SAME.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 20, and have been keep
ing company for about eight
months. We had an argument and
separated. Now for about two
months we have been reconciled,
hut he seems rather distant.
What would you advise me to do?
GWENDOLYN.
Evidently his wrath is still smol
dering, which indicates a sullen, re
sentful disposition. Don’t worry, my
dear, if you lose him. It will prove a
gain in the end.
Clever Hostess.
A German band happened to play
under the windows of a house in a
fashionable neighborhood the other
afternoon, when Mrs. B. was “at
home.” They were a fair specimen
of their kind—blaring and noisy, yet
correct in their time and altogether
in movement from long practice. The
butler started out to drive them away,
for they interrupted the music with
in, but Mrs. B. ordered him to invite
them in. A happy thought struck
her.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” she said,
five minutes later, “a party of our
friends have consented to give an im
itation of a street band. I now have
the pleasure of introducing them.”
Then the six members of the organ
ization filed awkwardly into place and
played a piece. The audience delight
edly declared that the mimicry was
perfect, especially the make-up of the
players, who w’ere recalled half a
dozen times.
“Would you take them for anything
but genuine street stragglers?” was
asked of a belle.
“Indeed, yes,” she confidently re
plied; “they’re clever in their mim
icry, but one can always tell gentle
men, no matter how disguised. I’m
dying to find out who they are.”
THE FOOL
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
r R <lid tint know who font us hero
To work and rent and die;
lie did not trust the aged seer
M ho trisclii owlrd the sky.
Out peered the stars through the heavens’ bars;
The fool did not know why.
He could not tell why any man
Should wish his brother ill;
He saw a starving caravan
Tottering up a hill.
ITc could not see why this should be
When others ate their fill.
He could not understand the scheme
Hen call their marriage rite.
He knew a maid that loved and strayed;
He knew her soul was white.
The Church, her sisters, all the good—
They crushed her in their might.
All these and many other things
He could not comprehend.
To wise men here it seemed so clear
They would have shown their friend;
But he was just a fool, they said,
And would he to the end.
Good Manners in the Home
By MRS. FRANK LEARNED.
Author of “The Etiquette of New
York To-day.”
P ARENTS are conscious of the im
portance of teaching their chil
dren good manners, but very
often they forget that children arc
quick to detect inconsistencies. If the
rarents fail to observe the courtesies
they are trying to teach there will be
uifficulty in instructing children.
If parents are careful to thank chil
dren for any little attention, if they
ask a favor of them always fn cour
teous terms, if they reply pleasantly
tc their questions and never indulge
in the rudeness of answering in mon
osyllables or paying no attention to
questions, then the children will learn
to be careful in their own manners.
Children imitate their parents in word
and deed and are susceptible to the
influence of their looks, voices and
manners.
Feel Resentment.
The resentment children sometimes
feel in being required to observe for
mulas is because they find these
things disregarded by older persons in
the family. Parents, therefore, have
to discipline themselves before they
can train their children. This may
sometimes require the courage to ac
knowledge a mistake, for it is as im
portant to say “I was mistaken,” or
“I beg your pardon,” as to say “Thank
you.”
Conscientious parents know tha
there can be no training in haphaz
ard methods, or by laying down max
ims and precepts, and that it is not by
claiming to be infallible that they can
hope to influence their children, but
by showing that they are striving
toward high standards of conduc t. I:
the home atmosphere Is that of peace
it is sure to promote contentment. If
there is the everyday graeiousness
speech and action the influence can
not fail to foster kindness and con-
siderateness. There will not be the
mere superficial politeness, but the
true graciousness of life, a grace
which is deep and enduring.
Home, in its true sense, is the
training ground for life. The years **
home art most important because
habits are being formed which will
influence the entire future. It Is there
that we learn to fill our place In re
lation to others; there that we learn
respect for authority and obedience
to law and order. It is in the home
that we learn in childhood the neces
sity of self-control, the importance of
truthfulness, dutifulness, unselfish
ness. sympathies and courtesy. Wa
learn to make concessions, to give up
insisting on having our own way, and
we learn to' look at things from the
point of view of other people.
High Ideals.
Boys and girls who are taught high
ideals of conduct in the home will no r
fail to exercise kindness and cour
tesy toward their companions. Ac
they grow to manhood and woman
hood they will feel bound to Show
their best home training in their in
tercourse with the world, out of re
spect to themselves and the dear fam
ily life. The home life may be but a
memory, distant in the years, but the
influence will never be lost.
