Isn't Anne charm- ing in white? She’ll make a lovely | bride,” said Dolly daringly. She was | wondering whether or not Phil felt as | cool as he looked over the whispered | news that before the afternoon tea was far advanced, Anne’s engagement | would be annodneed to Lord Brandon, who had been an attractive visitor in the States for several months. “Anne is always lovely,” Phil an- | swered turning his head for a second | Where he could see the woman he | loved standing beside her mother re- | ceiving their guests in the drawing | room. “More coffee?” queried Dolly when | Phil had supplied his plate at the buf- ! fet and strolled back to the table for a few minutes' chat with her. “More,” said Phil setting his down. “And one lump of sugar.” “How can you eat and drink when | every minute is taking Anne beyond | your reach? I have always wanted you two to marry. You seem made for each other.” “lI wish Anne thought that,” “You don't know what she thinks, I'll wager that you have never asked | her.” “Can't you pass your job of pour- ing coffee up to somebody else and [ talk to me?" They went directly to the big stone | beneh beside the fountain in the con- | servatory, “Why,” demanded Dolly, “don’t you propose to Anne?” “Because she would turn me down, and you know it. Anne's mother is am- bitious for her. She wants a titled son-in-law,"” “And Anne?" “Will do whatever her mother dic- tates." 1 think that you are unjust to both ‘or them. Why don't you ask Anne to cup | o =\ | "Wy dont ' yow ask Amne smarry, )vu" 1m.'lrry you? A refusal would better | than uncertainty,” | “You don’t understand. 1 don’t want any woman te refuse me for another man.” “Phil, muca pride goeth before & fall. Assert yourself! Be a cave man and take Anne! That's the way wnost women are won.” |~ “How?" | Dolly thought serlously. “Make her ! Jealous, Phil! You've always shown your preference for her. Pretend to care for somebody else.” “What about Anne’s pride?” “A woman torgets she has any pride when she thinks she Is losing the man she loves.” “But Anne has never shown that she sares for me any more than for the ‘ dozen men who hang about her.” “Hasn't she? | “Well, has she?” ‘ | “Find out,” sald Dolly meaningly. ¢ “Come, 1 must be going.

Did she 20 home?” “Yes. Perhaps you had better tele- phone and ask her 1o go to the opera with you tonight. I am not equal to it—nov." I’hil noticed a little flush creep inte Anne’s white face as she talked and | he wondered what Dolly had said. “] prefer to remain with you if you are able to put up with me.” | “Of course 1 am. Open a window, Phil! Mother's lilac bushes are al- ready in bloom.” The soft balmy breath of southern springtime, freighted with the sweet- | ness of early flowers biew in aud a nightingale, startled by the shaft of | light from the open window, broke in- to a melody of song. \Warm life was waking in the earth and in the breast | of every creature stirred the world-old mystery of mating. “Anne,” Phil said quietly, “I am in love with a woman who does not care | for me. \What must I do abaut it?” One of Anne's hands moved restless- Iy over the diamond pin that held the spray of valley lilies on her breast, *1 —1 don’t know,” she said. “1 wouldn't like to think that anybody had spoiled your life yet we are responsible, each of us, only for our own personal hap- piness.” “Oh, no,” interrupted Phil quickly. “l cannot make my happiness, only the woman 1 love can give it to me.” Anne deliberated. “Perhaps you are right,” she said. *“Much of the re- sponsibility of the world seems to rest on the women.” “That is natural. able than men.” “The thought is enough to make us try to live on a very high plane.” “What do you know about Dolly Carter?” asked Phil slowly. “l ac- knowledge the faet that she is a very charming woman in advance.” “! know that she is a true, sincere friend,” answered Anne readily, “and 1 also claim that she is exceptionally beautiful.” Anne was not numbered among the foolish ones of earth who attempt to underestimate the charms of other women, “She was great today in that pink something, wasn't she?” Phil, remem- bering Anne'’s flushed face when he had inquired about Dolly determined to take a chance and act on the ad- vice of his late counselor, The color fled from Anne’s cheeks ond her voice seemed to her to come with an effort, “1 never saw her as bright and an- imated. She must be very happy. Don't give up, Phil. Perhaps she will change her mind and—and love you in re- They are more Phil had never known Anne to hesl tate and his heart gave a bound at the wild hope that she was jealous of Dolly. “And you, Anne?" He could not keep the eagerness out of his voice. “When are you going to marry Lord “1,” sald Anne rising, “expect never to marry.” “Anne,” cried Phil facing her, “Anne, I love you. You'll have to know it, you must know it now. I have known that your mother favored Lord Brandon, and my pride kept me quiet, but I'll have to take my chance. I love you, Ann. I want you. Is it enough?” “But what—what about Dolly?” questioned Anne breathlessly. “She will dance at our wedding,” said Phil, Ids arms about her. “She kncws and begged me to take my ! chance.” “Listen,” Anne whispered, “the birds | are kindred spirits tonight.” Outside in answer to the nightin- | gale’s mad wooing, came the tender, thrilling music of his mate, flooding | the lilac scented fragrance of the | durk. Would Make Sure of Death. Elaborate precautions against pres mature interment were ordered in the will of Mr. Thomas Douglas Murray, of Iver-place, Iver, Buckinghamshire, England, who died recen The tes. tator directed that on his apparent death his body should be kept in a well-warmed Led for 26 hours there- after, and should then be placed in a coffin in a warm room with the win- dows partially opened, and watched for four days and nights. During this period the tests give in a pamphlet, “The Signs and Proof of Death” should be applied and during this per- fod a bell should be attached to his wrist, which should be easily audibles| within and without the room. When decomposition had set in a surgeon should completely sever the spinal cord high up in his body, and his cof- fin should not be screwed down until the twelfth day after his death, His remains were then to be cremated, | the ashes to be scattered to the four | winds of heaven Valuable Pine-Needle Oil.
