pauses. "Did I make myself so specially

turning to her with aomething that is
surely anger, but as surely entreaty, in
his eyes.
"As I told you before.” indifferently,
“one says foolish things now and then
"Would you have me believe you did

"I would not have you believe any

sibly affect you in any way.”
"Is that how you look at it?"
“Is there any other way? Why should
you care whether or not I detest you—I.
whom you saw for the first time yester-
day ?"
"Why, indev^l!” He regards her ab-
sently. as if trying tu work out in his
own mind the answer to this question.
and then, suddenly:
"Nevertheless, I do care,” he says,
with a touch of vehemence, “It is the
injustice of it to which I object, You
had evidently determined beforehand to
show me no grace. I defy you to deny
it! Come, can you?’
Miss Dysart ia silent. The very im
petuosity of bis accusation has deadened
her power to reply, and besides, is there
uot truth in it? Had she not prejudged?
"By the bye," he says, "I am afraid
you will have to put up with me for a
few- hours every week. I shall promise
to make them as short as I possibly can.
But my father likes to see me every sev
en days or so, and I like to see him. Do
you think." a slight smile crossing his
face, "you will be able to live through
it?"
“I have lived through a good many
things," »ays Vera, her dark eyes aflame.
"That gives you a chance here; prac
tice makes perfect. I am sorry to be
obliged to inconvenience you so far, but
if 1 stayed away, I am afraid my father
might want to know why. He might
even be so absurd as to miss me."
"Why should you take it for granted
tbat 1 desire your absence?" cries Vera,
her voice vibrating with anger. "Come,
remain, or stay away forever—what is it
to me?”
And it was thus that they parted.

KEEPING YOUNG.
German Mother of Ten Iiid It with
Her ••Von Little Nap« ”
Tbe secret of prolonged youth—or a
part of the secret—seems to be reveal
ed in tbe modified form of "restcure"
described by Clarissa Sergeant lu Har-
per's Bazar, She pictures a little Ger-
man woman, the mother of ten cbil-
dren.
She was as fresh In color as a girl,
her hair without a touch of gray, her
face without a w rinkle, and she felt, I
am sure, as she certainly looked, far
younger than I. So I asked her, final-
ly :
“How do you keep so fresh
young with all your great family?
She looked at me a moment,
then laughed her merry little laugh.
"You see,” she said, "I haf my von
little naps.”
"Your what?” I asked, puzzled to un
derstand her.
"My von little naps." she repeated.
"But tell me, I do not understand,
I said.
"Vy so," she said. In her pretty
broken English, "aboud twelf o’clock.
or maybe von or maybe two, as you
like Is liesser, I takes de baby, vlch-
ever Iss de baby, and 1 goes to de room
am! takes my naps.”
"But If the baby won't sleep at that
time?’ 1 objected.
She shrugged her shoulders. "Oh. he
sleep all right”
But there are so many things to do
while the baby sleeps," I went on.
"I vil haf my naps,” was her smiling
answer.
"But." 1 urged, "supposing some
thing happen« to tbe other children
while you and the baby are asleep?’
Then she did stare at me.
"There could not noting happen to
dose children vorse dan I not get my
von little naps," she said. Indignantly.
I gave It up. This closed the argu
ment.
And the writer hands on the advice
to all other tired mothers to try the
little naps, even if it upsets to a de
gree methodical hou«ek«*eping Method
Is good, but if It comes to be a whip f
which makes rest impossible. It should
be dropped.
