The ribbon should be extra wide, witn the Inscription. "Rest in Peace,” on both sides, and if there was room, "We shall meet in Heaven" The florist whs away, and his new assistant handled the job. It was a startling floral piece which turned up at the funeral. The ribbon was extra wide and bore the inscription, "Rest in peace on both sides, and if there )s room we shall meet in Heaven.” • • • "It's a great pity," said the convict ed burglar to hig counsel, "that you couldn’t have made that closing speech of yours at the opeuing of ’he case."

"Then the jury would have been asleep when the evidence camo ouand I’d have stood some chance.’* « * • A Massachusetts minister was making his first visit to Kentucky several years ago. He had to spend the nlsht in a small town, where feuds nnd moonshine stills abounded. Engaging in conversation with one of the natives, he said: "My friend, this a very bibulous State. I hear." "Lor." replied the man. "there hain’t 25 Bibles in all Kentucky.** • • • A teacher in a certain tow*n (we considerately decline to be more spe cific) had a great deal of trouble to j make a hoy in his class understand a point in his lesson. Finally, however, he succeeded, and, drawing a long breath, remarked: If iu •• -./t D r me you would Lc Qe giMLUfit donkey in this town.” H, is that the way you make them. Mary?" "Sure an’ Miss Peggy, how did you think you’d be makin’ them?’ "Oh, cut a hole out of the middle of each round thing, nnd fill it up with Jelly, and bake it." Mary interrupted with a burst of hilarious laughter, and as 1 patted and pinched the crust for the tarts, l de cided that it must be harder to be a cook than a nurse "You put the jelly in afterwards." said Mary, as she shoved the pan into the oven. \nd 1, full of pride that I was doing my first bit of baking for Dr. Hammond, who was coming down to dinner settled back in the big kitchen chair to wait for the tarts to bake. Mary bustled around the kitchen in the most businesslike way, and 1 sighed nnd looked reflectively out through the glass door of the laundry. It was raining, just the kind of a steady rain that made me long for the cool pink and white couch up in the den, anti that book that had just come up front the library. I tugged absently at my apron, and then with my thoughts still far away 1 woke to the fact piat Mary was speaking to me. "Bure an’ Miss Peggy, why don’t you run upstairs and let me take care of the tarts.* Who’s to know the dif ference, child?" But I said decidedly: "No. Mary, I must do it my own self. Next time I'll know just how it's all done, and Dr Hammond just loves tarts." The tinkle of the telephone, and I flew upstairs. "Heilo. yes, this is Miss Dean; O, Dr. Hammond? Yes. I’m very busy. I'm expecting company for dinner.” "You're not coming? Why? O, of course you can’t in a case like that. Why do people have to go and get hurt, anyway? Yes. of course. I un derstand. don't you need me to help? I wish 1 rould." "Do really? Well that helps some. Anyway, I needed you to help me cheer up. It’s such a horrod day. Oh. yes. and we're going to have tarts for dinner. Yes. I know you’d be sorry. Next time? Well, maybe. You see I’m making them, and ’’ "Of course I can cook. Please don't Jolly. Oh, no you w*on’t, you’ll be too busy to miss even the tarts." "The tarts, perhaps, not you”—the words sang across the wire, and I sat down on the stairs in the dark and re flected. He really did w'ant to come. And the thought that he would miss me even In the rush of an accident case, and the deepening of his voice when he said those last words—my face burned, and I put my fingers up over my eyes and wondered what had come over me. Just thn. I wanted to be a nures more than anything else in the world, because l wanted to be where he was. Then I allowed myself to dwell upon the de lights of being a hospital nurse. The fascinating smell of the place, the rest- lesness and rush of it all. And then as it nil cattie back to me that aftrnoon when 1 had first met him, the shine of his haid under the electric light and the funny little impulse 1 had to rumple it up. I smiled and thought it a good thing that men do not always know what we women are thinking about. PFggv dear, you are elarning. every day you know a little more, and yet you’re a little frightened you might as well j fe.ss up. Things are so very, very I strange, and you don’t know yourself < as well as you thought you did. do you?’* "Miss Peggy. Miss Peggy.” came i Mary's stentorian tones from the kit- I chen. "your tarts are hurtlin', sure, miss, you'd better be tendin’ to them." And I flew to the rscue. "It’s all l right to be a nurse, Peggy," I scolded i severely as 1 pulled ou* the smoking pastry from the oven "but it strikes me that you’d better learn to be a good cook first." But I feltm whole lot bet ter when Mary, laughing at my dis mayed face, said goa-naturedly, "Sure an'. Miss Peggy, you never know your luck next time you'll b» havin’ better luck with your tarts, too." Mary ia a natural born philosopher.

A DINE was leaning for support against the greht library table— Insensate wood aided her to stand, and the man who would willingly have supported the woman he loved — and so trusted -against all the world, must stand aloof and wait his Lady's pleasure. •‘Won’t you lock that door?" aaked the priest, breaking the throbbing al ienee. "It has a spring lock. Father.’* Then he turned to the girl, who drooped before him. "Dear lady, you make me the proud est man in all the world. And so I^awrence Holbrook offered this girl of a blasted life the finest de votion in all the world—for if "perfect love casteth out fear," is not the love that still must trust because it never sees the need of doubt, though doubt lies all about—is not such love the most perfect thing that can be given woman? The Warning. "Don’t waste a minute. Miss Graham has serious news for you. Captain." said the Father earnestly. "THEY'RE COMING TO ARREST YOU." The girl tried to strengthen herself to meet this new horror—the horror of having the man who loved her arrested in her stead His reply was almost casual. "My dear lady, Father Shannon will tell you that an arrest to an Irishman reads as a form of compliment." Aline went on with grim purpose nerving her. "A MAN HAS BEEN KILLED TO NIGHT CAPTAIN HOLBROOK!" Could the girl find strength to say more than this? Can a loving woman say to man she must deny, "Your goddess is no goddess after all—she is a murderer?" If a woman must deny herself the glory of a true man’s devo tion, can she find the greatest courage to shatter that devotion? "I saw the body,” said the Captain simply. "Judson Flagg," shuddered Aline. "The same.” "Our door-bell rang—It startled me— I was- I was up and awake—and—I looked over the banisters—Chief Demp ster to see iny father—in the hall he spoke your name The girl’s frail body swayed—her strength was falling her purpose. "Take it gently—and sit down, my dear. Father, need she torture herself more?” "Hear her out, Captain,” replied the Father In a firm tone. "I went downstairs and listened at the door as they talked In the library the chief phoned police headquar ters—the railway stations were to be watched—you were to be arrested your self Oh, Captain, a kind of panic seized me all In a moment I was dressed there was only one person I could think of to help me out—to help YOU—I went out of the back door—and over to him.” "To keep me from being arrested?” asked the Captain tenderly. Why, she had been thinking of him, even while he had been working for her! A Line Tells All. " ’Twas her first and last thought. Tell him all the story, daughter," said the man of God, very gently. "ALL?" quavered Aline. The father nodded. "Just as you told it to me." Just a few hours before the girl had laughed easily at her lover, "I have told you that 1 do not love you! You're a quaint soul. Captain.” In her hour of tragedy she could not lie to her own soul she did love this man—love him with nil the forbidden glory of her wounded heart, and her own deed had made that love a thing to be denied— and her crown of martyrdom was that she must tell him all —all her sad story. She looked at her captain with half parted lips and all her soul yearning to waft its message from her eyes. And then she moaned at the hurt of it all: "Oh, must I tell?” "Not a word—unless you want to,” expostulated the captain. The Father spoke in encouragement: "I know him, my dear! It’s best to tell him." Aline moistened her dry lips. When the lips have a dreaded office of speech to perform, blood of life and color flees from them and the motive power for all-revealing words threatens to fail. She tried to control herself. "I ” "My dear girl,” protested the captain. How shall a man endure while the woman he loves is made to torture herself? The girl sank into a chair and gazed hopelessly into the future she had pre pared for herself Time and the tides of life seemed held in the moment from the flood to ebb. Aline prepared to see even the gift of forbidden love go out from her life. Perhaps it was only a second before she spoke—but her soul grew to wom anhood in that flash across the face of eternity. "I killed him,” breathed Aline Gra ham. For a moment she sank forward against the table. Then she rose and tottered to Father Shannon, and hold ing out her hands to him stood with bowed head waiting the verdict. In haste—as if defending her from her very priest. Larry Holbrook voiced his ultimate faith and trust. "She defended herself Why. Aline, don’t let It drive the color from your cheek ” Amazed beyond all human believing. Aline came back toward Holbrook and gazed up at his strong, tender face. "And they thrnk YOU did it!" Larry waved it away as if this were the merest trifle. "Oh, no. they don't think that—but they think—I KNOW.” "And you did know.” The Father spoke the words In slow wr>nr!»*r at the beauty of soul he was seeing ever more strongly revealed in the buoyant nature of the lad—of almost forty—the lad he loved! Very tenderly the man spoke to the girl: "YES—I KNEW!’* Scorched by the sirocco winds of her own shame, the girl blanched to even greater weakness and pain. "You—despise me " Her voice held agony. "I—LOVE YOU.” answered her "knight without fear and without re proach,” tenderly. A glazed look of horrified recollection came over the girl’s ey^s. She lived her pitiful defense aloud. “I never meant to kltl him. He took hold of my arm a I got one hand free and struck him My blow had no effeot There waa something In my hand—a paper file—like a big hat pin—hie hand on my throat! I struck aqalnl I couldn’t see I don’t know what happened, but he waa lying In a chair pulling the paper file from hie breast.” Her hands battled up to hide her hor rified eyes from that vision of terror. "Aline—Aline—you are torturing your own heart,” cried Holbrook. The girl turned to the priest for strength. "Go on, my daughter," he said with infinite tenderness in his tone. “THEN ITE GOT UP—I LOOKED BACK—HE HAD FALLEN ACROSS HIS DESK—HE CALLED FOR HELP —I DIDN’T KNOW I HAD HURT HIM -BADLY—I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THAT—UNTIL T HEARD CHIEF DEMPSTER PHONING FATHER ’* "The Chief phoned first? Before he came?” questioned Holbrook, ever alert* for anything that might mean a chance for Ihe girl so hopelessly enmeshed in the spider’s web. The spider had been destroyed—but the silken meshes of his gray web remained. For the Man She Loved. The girl nodded drearily. “That’s why I dressed. I thought thej were coming to take me-I lived over and over again the disgrace of it—if there had been anything—to take—Td have killed pnyself—too." I dressed, and crept down again—and listened—at the doors in my father’s house—and then I heard—it was you in danger!" "You said nothing at all to your fath er?" asked the Captain. So much de pended on this! "No!” “Poor child ” he said in pain at thought of all she had endured—his ten derly nurtured, tortured little lady! "Then your words came into my mind," went on Aline. "What words, my dear?” "Of Father Shannon—this afternoon: ’Tell him everything. All you’ve told me and all you haven’t told—tell Fath er Shannon.’ ” " ’Twas the one thing to do.’’ The girl fled to the refuge of the priest’s strong clasp. "He will go through all of it with I me—the jail-the trial—the disgrace.” | And now her strength deserted her— j like a reed in a bitter wind from the north she swayed, racked by the chilj blast of her own straining emotions. A murder trial—a scandal in high places—and she. Aline Graham, daugh ter of the District Attorney of the United States—a prisoner at the bar her name her father’s clean name dragged in the filthy mire of all the basest human interpretations of her bitter blundering and love forever dead and cold to her outcast be smirched human blood on her hands Jezebel daughter of Cain so ran her agonized thought. The Captain's tone held all the quiet certainty and soothing balm his strength could Impart to words. "There will be no disgrace. Cry it all out on the Father’s breast and do you think he’d be holding you so tenderly if you were what you think— instead of what we know*?” His voice deepened to the tenderness he would | have expressed a thousand-fold if he ; could have held the sobbing girl in his j own strong arms. "Aline—Aline, you're breaking all our hearts by your cruelty to your own self. Why. little lady ” "But you must not be falsely accused for my crime,” Cried the girl. “There’s no crime about it,” declared the Captain rashly. “Tell us what’s to be done, Cap tain,” said Father Shannon. The soldier spoke with military brisk ness. This case demanded more of mind and less of heart if they who loved her would find a way of escape for the girl who was struggling In the morass of danger. “Did any one see you leave the house?” “No one,” answered Alln<\ “Go back and be quiet,” said the Cap tain. “To-night they’ll arrest you—and to morrow they’ll come for me, too,” cried I the girl. "Perhaps they won’t," said the Cap tain, casting about in his mind for a way to make this possibility certain. "Yes. There was a brooch—a clew for them. I tried to get it, but he had it.” "Your mother's brooch—the emer ald?" "Yes.” moaned the girl, sinking into the chair at the head of the massive walnut table. Holbrook came and stood near her. He wanted to touch her—to reassure her—not with a man’s overwhelming passion, but with the tenderness all the world feels for a tired child who faces pain and stern reality too great for its untried strength. But he only held out his hand with the pin in his palm. "I thought you’d want It," he said, in a matter-of-fact tone. Aline lokoed at this worker of mira cles. "Oh, you wqnderful friend," she said. Then sha turned In bewilderment to Father Smtnnon, with her mother's jewel in her hand. "Is it very wicked to think of escape —to think of keeping silent?" To Bo Continued To-morrow.
