Because he had loved her a long 4ime, he hesitated about telling her. ‘With the direct divinatioc of a wom- an's intuition, she surmised the truth. He had been trailing all about the subject for several moments, waiting the necessary courage. She took the amatter in hand calmly. “Why don't you tell me, Day?" she asked quietly. He started and looked at her uncomfortably. She smiled. “Is it sure, this time?” her voice was low and even. There was not the slightest suggestion of & scene in the atmosphere. He pulled himself to- gether with a jerk. “Meg,” he said softly, “you're a -wonder! How did you know?” “How could | help knowing?” she asked. “I am not blind.” “But I thought—I have been just vhe same.” he insisted “Your heart was rot in it, that was all,” she replied sadly i is not bu."" he said hesi tatingly in respc to her questions. “She {s little and pretty and needs gomeone to care for her.” Margaret etarted.

She smiled bitterly. “Friends?

There was & long pause, “May 1 kiss you once more?” he ssked haltingly. She looked at him long and searchingly. “0, you men, you men!” she ex claimed with sudden passion, as she looked ¢ iuto his eyes with bitter ness of . “You take all we have to givo—all—and still—" there was a away , but I, too, hated to The sarcasm was lost on #0b in her throat—"it's a little game | to you," her voice was steady once more.

Rome.—A valiant champion of Ilit- tle Montenegro is Prince Humbert, the nineyear-old son of King Victor of Italy. Prince Humbert does not approve at all hiz father's attitude toward Montenegro in the Balkaa war, and learned with disinay that Italy was in thorough accord with the other powers in demanding that the Montenegrins evacuate Scutari. A tfew days ago Prince Humbert was “playing war’ with his sisters in the royal nursery. The¢ king was an amused spectator of the game. Prince Humbert was the Montenegrin leader and he “killed off" 2!l the Turks—his sisters la the game. Turning to his father, the little ! rince demanded to be sent to Cettin'e. “Why?" asked the king. The prince thoug!t for a moment and remembered that his mother | and grandfather were Montenegrins. “Well,” he replied, "I think you ought to be there fighting, but as you are not, 1 suppose I ought to go to| grandpapa and show nim that we are on his side. Why are you not with him?" “You see Italy is still fighting Trip- olf and I am required here,” replied the king. “But suppose you were not re quired here,” asked the little critie, “would you go to Montenegro?”’ King Victor hesitated, and chose his words with care. “No, I don't think so0," finally. Prince Humbert shouldered his toy gun and shook his head “l think it {s very wrong of you,” he said emphatically. "I am going to practice so that 1 can kill all of | grandpapa's uemics They're all he said Turks, uu\ way."” | TO PROBE FAI‘IR 'V!YSTEPIES« Andrew Carno jie Frnanc:: EApCdI(IO"\ That Will Yeek to Uscover Many | Unknown Feals Berlin. — .ndrew Curnczie has! financed a swwall party of investigas | tors who will fave ite the mys | | of levitation in nd possibly Andrew Carnegic. sor Schwidtal of Posen The young savant has made a come | prehensive study of the methods em- ployed by the fakirs and mugicians of India under the supervision of Profes- | | l | Egypt in performing their various | feats of magic.

The opening down the left side is curved from under the collar, and has the lower corners rounded off, leaving a very short notch In the skirt. The sleeves are long and easy fitting, set into dropped | armholes under a corded seam. Blue or tan colored ratine may be used for the round turned back collar and cuffs, with the buttons along the side opening to match, or it may be left all white.
