With a deep drawn Hlch of relief Murlorle threw herself into n clialr t rest and collect herself before proceed- hit; to her own room. After all. she reflected. It was a whole lot hctlcr to !' at home with one's own cople than to lie sticking It out alone somewhere else, whatever the tcmntatioii or Inducement. She had stuck It out and won. Others had irlcd the same t Iiinir mid lost. The re sult was pretty near the same In any event, she argued, flushed now with Hie mere Joy of her homecoming. She wondered vaguely If her par ents could by any possibility fall to forgive the waywardness whlrh had inken her away to do battle, single handed. In the great world of need and struggle? The parting had beeu very bitter, so bitter that she tried not to recall it any oftener than she was forced to. The surprise, the trluir phaut results site was bringing hot:;; to them, would they compensate for !ior dNols'tlleiicc? I Hiring the two mouths Just pass-d she had heard little or nothing from either of them In Iter continued pas su ge from place to place. Had she con fded the real motive behind her des perate nmbitlon things might have been different, but there are some soul ferrets too dear and too sacred almost to Ik- held in communion with one's own thoughts. All at on.V a whole army of clocks liegan to strike s and Innumerable whistles In every key shrieked per emptory warning of the hour. Marjorle started from ber reverie In alarm and, quietly crossing the length of the hallway, moved up the deep carved and ranieted staircase. The door of her sitting room stood ajar, aud she entered noiselessly, de positing her bag and parcel on the familiar little spider legged table that held the student's lamp. Then she threw herself down Into the old fash ioned rocker that stood Invitingly near and began to draw off her gloves, for the moment a rush of feeling dimmed her eyes so that she could not see. But In a little while she pulled herself together and glanced alsut critically, noting that nothing apparently had been disturbed, everything was Just as she was accustomed to have It every picture, every book. She Vent toward the reading table with a sudden heart throb. There lay a fresh supply of the current period icals, a newspaper or so, a paper knife she was sure she had never seen be fore and a half smoked cigar. Toor. dear papa." sighed Marjorle. with a little tremulous smile, "be will forgive me, after all. He must hare cared very much to do this, fm afraid 1 wounded htm more deeply than I dreamed." She put forth her hand In a mechanical fashion and lifted the paper kntfe from the table, touching It softly with caressing fingers. It waa Just a common little affair of steel and Ivory, but two Initiate showed roughly on the handle, a though carved there la some absent moment "R. LV -Richard Usslterr Marjorte'a Hp unconsciously framed the words. She looked up. half frightened, and glanc ed about ber quickly. Almost at the moment the door lead tng tnto ber room was pushed open softly from the other aide, tad Hkbari Lasslter himself stood on the thresh old. "Miss WlnthropP Marjorle was on her feet In an In ttant, pale, embarrassed, bewildered. For once in her life all self control bad abandoned her. She took an unsteady step forward, groping with one band before ber for support "I'm awfully sorry," began Lasslter apologetically. "There has In all prob ability ts-eu some mistake. 1 thought you knew." Marjorle regarded him half dazed. "My father and mother," she broke In appealingly. "what has become of them?" "They are perfectly safe and well. I can assure you of that much. As soon as possible us Is practicable I shall send you to them. Your father specu lated heavily. He was unfortunate, but he did not lose everything." hu went on. answering the unstokcn question in her eyes. "A long expect- cil Hit rrcm roriune mane uu- iiiu-.- pendent, placed me where I am here." When he looked down Marjorle was crying softly, the tears slipping down her cheeks and splashing unheeded on her hands. "When I learned that the place was for sale." proceeded Lasslter after a silence, "I wanted more than anything else In the world to come here to live. It Hcetned like well, like being nearer to you, somehow. You don't mind me saying this. Mar-Miss Wluthrop?" Marjorle's tears had ceased sudden- Iv. An exquisite tint of carnation had crept up slowly under her skin, aud the lids closed over her eyes like pale white globes over blue lights. "I would rather It were you than any one else here," she replied presently In a low voice. Something In her tone. In her man ner and mure than an in tne swiii avoidance of his eyes made Lasslter suddenly bold. He went and stood at the side of her chair, his hand resting on the back of It, his gaze. Impas sioned enough now, fixed on the shin ing brown waves of hair that Intoxi cated him with the delicate breath of perfume. Marjorle," he said hurriedly. "let me tell yon everyi uing now, wont you? It Isn't the time nor the place perhaps, conventionally speaking, but can't let you get away from me again. I think you must have known, dear, that I have always loved you you did know It, didn't you? But yon knew, too, that you were rich, while was poor and that because of It my Hps were sealed. But I was working night and day. day and night working as no one ever could have worked be fore, for no one ever had so sweet and dear and precious an Incentive working to make myself worthy to ask you to bo my wife." He paused, out of breath from sheer emotion, the veins of his neck throb bing. He bent suddenly and took ber hand In bis. Marjorle felt the quick quivering and yielding of her fingers and knew that with It was the giving up of ber whole elf. Minutes passed and neither spoke. After awhile she glanced up, with a alow flush deepening vividly on her cheeks, aud Lasslter broke the silence. "I have succeeded." be said quietly. "Will you come back home, sweet heart?" Marjorle did not speak, but present- It she lifted her other band and gave 1 that, too. Into bis keeping. Ha Was Slow. Unroln ascl to bo fund of telling a story of a lawj"er wno desired the nom ination for county Judj;c. On the morning pweedinB the evening on which the county convention was to meet he applied to the livery stablo keeper In bis village for a horse and buggy In which to drive to the county town, sixteen miles distant, where the convention was to be held. "Give me the best and Hie fastest horse you have. Sara," said he. "so that I wilt have time to go around and see the boys before the convention comes In." The liveryman, however, was suit porting a rival candidate aud gave the lawyer a horse which outwardly ap peared perfect, but wbL-b broke down entirely before half the Journey was completed, so that when the candi date arrived the convention had ad journed and bis rival had been nomi nated. On his return to the stable late the following afternoon, knowing that It was useless to resent the trk k played upon him. be said to the owner: "Look here. Smith, you must be training this horse for the New York market Ton expect to sell hint to an undertaker for a bearse horse, don't you? Well. It'a time wasted. I kuow from his gait that you have spent days train- Ing him to pull a bearse. but he'll prove a dond failure. Why. he's so slow he couldn't get a corpse to the cemetery In time for the resurrection." A Story ef Dumas. h One day Alexandre Dumas visited Marsellks and made a trip to the ' Chateau d'lf to visit the palace he had helped to make famous. The guide -showed him everything; also the sub- ' terranean passage by which Edmond Dante and Abbe Farla used to visit I each other. "This passage was dug by Abbe Farla by the aid of a flh , bone." the guide explained. "51.
