There were sev eral mutters that he wanted to think, over In solitude and the location of the table suited him to a nicety. After giving; tho waiter his rather elaborate order which caused him to rise several degrees lb" the estimation of said waiter, Glendenning took his note book from his pocket and began' searching for some figure. These he found, and. bending over the table ha was soon lost In calculation. A chair was puahed angrily back from a nearby table, a quick ejaculation camo from the throat of one of the occupants, but Olendenning did not hear. Nor did . he observe an extremely beautiful woman coming; toward Ills table. lie roused himself at a touch on his shoulder and) looking up. his eyes met those of a stranger, an exquisitely beau tiful stranger, with violet eyes, red gold hair und lovely complexion. The violet eyes were troubled. "I beg your pardon, sir," she was speaking, ' would It be asking too much of you to feign acquaintance with me for a few moments? I will explain later." . , . Why. certainly not," rising. "Pray be seated." She sat down iat the opposite side of the table. It was plain to be seen that 8he was frightened as well as angry. "Don't ask any questions now, please."' she pleaded. "Just talk to me as though we were old friends. And above all. don't look so curious. He is looking at you. Am V If V J 'V.

The lady began talking as fast as possible. T had no idea you were here, Bert. How is your dear mother and the girls'? Js Mary still In school? How long are you going to stay In the city?" Before ho could frame a reply, a dis sipated, but not unhandsome face ap peared above them. The woman did not look up. Olendenning suspected that thin wfl s "hp."

A cold sweat broke out all over him. He was in a state of abject terror. His heart thumped so loudly that he was afraid It would awaken the occupants of the house.

' , ' iEW persona who enter into tha holy bond of wedlock 'realix th responsibilities they are to as- . sume. It would be a brave suitor Indeed who would picture to the woman he wished to make hla wife the realities of lire and ask her to share In the ordeals through which nil wedded pairs must pass. They are more likely to throw a glamour over the future when the two are wedded and to paint everything In a truly rose color. They build castles In the air, make schemes for pleasure and happiness and prophesy that they are to dwell under sunny skies, wholly pushing aside the responsibilities, the realitiea and the dark clouds that oftentimes hang over ' all lives. Men, when trying to win the love of a woman, lnvariamy talk of their ambitions and determination to achieve success and fortune, usually saying that they want no surer guarantee of the realization of their wildest aspirations than the. smiles and devotion of the woman whom they ask, to share In their fame and their for- tunes. Honeymoons are brief affairs, and all married people settle down to the humdrum and treadmill of life's -struggles. They may have wealth and position, but there is never a time when even such auspicious conditions do not reqSlre Belf denial, sacrifices, patience, lovalty and unwavering devotion. With the coming of children they must necessarly put aside all romances and take up tha duties of caring for the minds and bodies of these pledges of their love. From the first lisping of tiny voices to man and womanhood there is not an hour when a mothr should not keep a loving vigil over her child. The attention to the physical wants are Insignificant compared (.0 the grave matter of understanding the nature, disposition and mentality, cf one'e offspring. I-ike the unfolding of the petals of a flower, the character and souls of these creatures are re vealed. It is for the mother's love and vigilance to discover the traits, ; thi poHStbmtles and the geniua of hen child and to guide and direct 1 them aright. The father should share with ' the mother by his companionship and interested- devotion in these sacred re sponsibilities that are usually left to the mother. The providing of the sup port of a family naturally devolves upon the father, and this, important a ; it Is. Is Insignificant compared to that of the duties of a mother so far as the future of the child is concerned. Man jr chldren are well clothed and fed aurt properly educated, who are In no sense fitted to take their places in life sim ply because they are not mentally or morally well equipped. Aa children grow older the mothers cares -and anxieties multiply. Some mothers through selfishness, fall to appreciate that what Infants require is as norhlag to what is absolutely necessary wheij children hive grown older. And that there Is no time from the birth or her first born to the day she lays down her life that she should for a moment for- , get how essential her lovlngcare and counsel are to her children. They may reach the years of manhood and woman hood, but they can never be older or wiser than their mothers. Her unwav ering solicitude is their surest safe guard through all the difficulties which thev may encounter In- their struggles In life. The mother who has the confidence and loyalty of her chil dren Is ever their wise counsellor. She has spenb. days and nights analyylnsr their characters and knows best how to advise and help them. There is an adage. "Like father like son, like mother ni, Homrhter " inii who has not often observed the fulfillment of this sayin In seeing children follow the righteous or unrighteous example of their parents.
