FOLEY(KIDNEY FILLS Architecturally Speaking. “I am the architect of my own for- tune,” said Mr. Dustin Stax. “Well,” replied Mr. Holden Howes, “by being your own architect you're liable t8' get some curious effects, but you do save a lot of money on plans and spe- cifications.” Superficial. ! There are some people who keep their morality in the piece; it a stuff of which they never cut selves a coat.—Joubert. suddenly with burning tears. After three years he had at last consented then to let the place to a stranger— anyone who might prove respectable enough to bé the “right party.” Had he forgotten ?—ceased to care? There was only one answer or he would never have been willing to take this It couldn’t be lack of money, i 73 Eéi 1 Her eyes, sparkling defiantly, looked back at her with a new purpose in their gold-brown -depths. She, too, would—forget! Robert Thayer's letter still lay un- answered in her desk. She reopened it with fingers unsteady from excite- ment. The lines danced before her eyes for an instant; then her gaze steadled and she read: “Dear: May | come to you to-mor- row night? There is something I want to tell you, to ask you. I won't be patient any longer. Say that you will be expecting me at eight. “Sincerely, “BOB.” Francesca seated herself unhesitat- ingly at the desk and scratched a hastv reply. . “Lour Bob: Come by all means. I'm always glad to see you; you know that. [ shall be looking for you at the appointed hour, “Cordially, “FRANCESCA.” She had just sealed the note when her brother entered the room, a little flushed, an expression of anxlety oa his face. Yielding to a sudden im pulse, she thrust the envelop quickly nto a drawer and locked it. “Bad news, Kid,” he sald, dropping into a chair. The girl turned with a startled glance, an unspoken question on her lips. Young Graham anticipated her and sald abruptly: “@ot to move out in a week. Own- ers have sold the place—which signi- fies ‘move on’ for us.” Francesca sat and stared at him blankly. A terrible feeling of home- sickness swept over her. “We've been here so long!” she sald wisttully. “That's it. 1 knew you'd feel all cut up about it, just as I do. But there's no help for it, girlle. We'll have to be looking around at once.” need never know the truth. They talked things over for a little, after which young Graham got up and went out again. Francesca swallowed a cup of tea and hurried upstairs to dress. In half an hour she was speed- ing toward Ninth avenue and Maple street, every nerve a-tingle with vary- ing emotions, She stepped out on the pavement and stood for a second looking about her. “Apply next door.” There was only one house next door, on the other side was a park, and she made her way toward the small, weather-beaten structure. A little old lady with gold glasses, her head covered with silver- white pufts, answered her ring. “]—I came to see about leasing the cottage next door,” Francesca began, timidly. “1 hope no one is ahead of me?” “There have been applicants, but as pone of them appeared suitable ten- ants we turned them all away.” 8he held open the door. “Pray walk in, miss; then we can talk better.” Francesca's heart was beating very bard and very fast as she entered the prim little parior, but she kept her to the lock almost in a dream and pushed open the door. At sight of the familiar objects within a sudden sense of suffocation came upon ber. It passed in a mo- ment and she entered the first room she came to mecbanically. The alr was fresh and clean, and not a sign of dust was in evidence. The spinster aunts had attended to that, and the girl sank into a chalr with a sigh of relief. She had fully expected to find the place musty and damp and bad been mentally bracing herseif to meet the emergency. She must have sat there at least 8 quarter of an hour, bher dry eyes trav- ber physically weak, and the oaly thing she could do was to sit and bat- tle for self-mastery. There was no flowers below. How called the day they had m flower bed together. “But my dear James, how absurd! The place was going to rack and ruin for want of a tenant. We imagined you'd be highly pleased—" Francesca caught at the sill for sup @ We thank you for the fine business of 1911, wish you a most prosperous New Year and solicit a continuance of your business; assuring you that it will ever be our aim to please you. Yours for Business, T. I. Woods & Co. Every atom of color fled from |3 appreciate your Interest, of course, Aunt Sophie. But for reasons best known to myself, I prefer to keep the house vacant, 1 sheuld have told you, I suppose. But somehow, in the rush of things, | omitted to do so. But as long as the people haven't moved in there'll be no trouble about it.” Francesca turned as the man ap- proached the room alone, Her first impulse had been to fly, to hide—to seek refuge In any way she could. But all avenue of escape was cut off, and the only alternative was to stay where she was, and hurriedly draw down the thick veil she wore. “l beg your pardon,” Langdon be gan, apologetically, “but it was all 8 mistake about this house being for rent. The fact Is, I've just come home from Europe unexpectedly and shall want to occupy it for myselt.” Francesca nodded. “I'm awfully sorry you've been put to this trouble, but you see—" “P’m sure you needn't apologise,” she interposed quickly, in & low tone. “|—perfectly understand.” Langdon smiled gratefully. “Thaak you very much,” he said. Francesca moved across the floor toward the doorway. To reach it she was compelled to pass close to Lang: don. He was watching her narrowly. Suddenly he caught his breath, turned pale, then red—then pale again. When she would have passed through the opening he barred her way. . “Francesca!” he cried, breathlessly. “May I—pass?” she faltered, weakly. “No; you may not” He deliberate- ly lifted the vell from her face and looked long and deep into the misty, gold-brown eyes. Satisfied, he gave a little soft laugh, and drew ber ak most roughly into his arms. “We've been a precious pair of num- skulls, haven't we?" he demanded. “]—I—think we have, dear.” “But we've learned wisdom through experience, eb?” “]—hope so0, Jim.” His lips touched her bair. His arme “And it's not too late %o A law student 16 mot entitled to & diploma until he can properly pro- pounce the word “law.” tant. It is perhaps the most impor- tant of all, vastly more o thaa o knowledge of Blackstone. It is impossible to write or print the word “law” as & good lawyer pro- nounces it. Type as large as a news- paper headline, italicized and triply underscored, might approximate the required importance, but it could give no fair idea of the loving reverence, the respectful obesience, the authort tative awfulness, the thunderbolt final- ity and the unctuous resonance with which all good lawyers scaster this word about a courtroom. “Such and such is the I~ -a—w." he announces stentoriously, perhaps hold- ingup a calf-bound book or shaking a | belligerent fist as if ready to stand upon the law and fight the world, the | flesh and the devil. The mere fact that opposing counsel two minutes later proves that guch and such is not the Jaw and never was the law, abates not one jot his enthusiasm for the word. In an instant or two he is at it again crowding as much mighty majesty into these three letters as vocal cords can fashion Entirely Different. “Getting around the world these days is a comparatively easy matter, Mr. Tubbit.” “Oh, yes. Much easler, I dare say, ‘ban getting around my wife.” I DR. UEL SPECIALIST Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Glasses Scientifically Prescribed 'Phone: Office 141, Residence 22. | Bryant Bldg, Lakeland, Fla.
