Kitty met Marion Haynes at the door. “Why, Marion, dear, this seems toc dear to be true,” she said. “And now that I've got you here 1 am not going to let you go home for a whole month at least.” The girls had been inseparable at college, but they had graduated at the same time, five years before, and since then they had not seen each other, for they lived in towns nearly a hundred miles apart. Gradually the exchange of letters had dwindled, and in spite of their continued affection they had become reconciled to the separation. Then Kitty had seemed to discover a new interest in her friend. She had written to her to come and spend a week or two with her, and had insisted until Marion came. That evening, when the girls were alone, Kitty said: “Marion, I have a secret to tell you.” Marion's eyes instantly fell to the level of Kitty's lap. But the engage- ment finger had no ring on it. “We haven't spoken a word of love as yet,” Kitty contimued, “but I am very fond of Harry, and I know he cares for me. Now, Marion, you re- member when we were at college we promised never to have any secrets from each other. Has there been any romance in your own life?” Marion remained dumb, Some things are too tragic to be told. “You see, about Harry and me,” Kit- ty prattled on—she had always been a chatterbox—"it is this way: I met him through our mutual friends the Fernleys, six months ago, and we liked each other from the first minute. And he was so interesting; he had had an unhappy love affair a couple of years ago. Mr. Lamont was wildly in love with some girl or other, and she jilted him.” Marion sat as still as though she had been turned to stone. Harry La- mont! She ought to have known that fate had not brought her there for no purpose. “It was very sad,” Kitty continued artlessly. “This girl and Harry were wildly in love with each other, and they would have been married long ago but for the misunderstanding— such an absurd one, too. Harry is a I lawyer, and he had been defending “This ls Not the Time or Place for Recriminations.” some actress who was charged with having committed perjury in a notori- ous case. Harry eucceeded in having her acquitted, and she wrote him an absurd, gushing, hysterical letter. He mailed it to his sweetheart by mis- take. Isn't it dreadful to think how the happiness of a lifetime can hinge upon a trifle like that? The girl re- turned it to him with a scathing note and refused to listen to any explana- tions. All his letters were sent back unopened. She refused to see him when He called at her house. They have never met since. Don't you pity him, Marion?" “Yes,” said Marion in a low voice. “And now at last he is going to be happy again,” Kitty went on, "and I know—well, I know that within a few days I shall have an engagement to announce, And, Marion, dear, he is coming to call tonight and 1 wanted 80 much to have you meet him." Marion sat staring into the fire, She was trapped, fairly trapped. To run away was impossible; it would not only mortally affront Kitty, but would tell her the secret. And it would show Harry that she was afraid of him, How | miserable she had been over that af. fair! For months she had struggled | with the impulse to write to him, but her pride w 00 strong for her, And now—how foolis} she had been! Well, there w: nothing to do but to meet him brazenly, and for Kilt\"s: sake no word must pass that \\o\-\ld' betray them. A ring at the bell, up excitedly, “That's Harry!” she exclaimed. “And I haven't g ready. Marion, I ann'lAI simply can't let him see x‘ne with my hair like this. You must en- tertain him for five minutes till I am T(‘{ld_\'." And she flew up the stairs Just as the maid announced the guest. and Kitty started They knew each other at once, and Stood dumbly watching each other, each conscious of the same bewilder- { ing surprise and .pa'm. Then Marion found herself murmuring the conven- tional words of greeting. “Sit down, Mr. Lamont,” she sald. “Kitty won't be long. I'll go and see it—" “Marion,” eaid the man in a low voice, “it is no use playing with each other like this. For God's suke tell me what you are going to do.” “What I am going to do?”’ Marion found herself automatically repeating. “Why, Harry”—the word broke spon- taneously from her lips—*“I am not go- ing to do anything. For Kitty's sake no mention of the past must be made. We have met for the first time; we are indifferent strangers. That is all.” He took a step nearer to her. “That is your last word, I suppose?” he answered bitterly. “But I want to tell you first what I think of you. There was a time when I felt crushed by your unkindness, but then I real- ized that if you had loved me you would at least have let me explain. You would have read my letters, or given me one interview. It was a wretched eubterfuge to break off an engagement of which you had grown weary.” “Mr, Lamont,” said Marion quietly, “this is not the time or place for re- criminations. The past is past and you are Kitty's. Believe me, the pain I have to bear for my foolish pride—" They stood face to face under the glow of the lamp and there was no sound heard except that of their breathing and of the slow clock-ticks. “I have repented a thousand times, if you must know,” said Marion grave- ly. “I will confess my fault. I have loved you and can never cease loving you. Therefore, for Kitty’s sake, re- member that we have never met be- fore.” “Do you mean that, Marion?”’ mur mured the man, and in a moment he had taken her into his arms and she was lying upon his breast and weeping ' out ‘the sorrows of half ten years. 1 “Marion, 1 don’t know what you mean about Kitty,” he said, “but it was to meet you that she asked me here. She learned about our broken engage- ment from the Fernleys, and—" A musical laugh broke in upon their ears. They started guiltily apart, to see Kitty, resplendent in her evening gown, gazing mischievously from one to the other. “Kitty!"” exclaimed Marion accusing- ly, but there were happy tears upon her cheeks. “I told you,” Kitty almost sang, “I told you that in a few days I should have an engagement to announce. Ma- rion, darling, I am going to kiss Harry —for the first time. May 1?” (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) RO EARS FOR ANYTHING ELSE Unlucky Bettor Had All His Attention Centered on Remarks That His Wife Was Making. They were talking about the race track, and when the man with the Van Dyke beard mentioned the fact that he had seen his first horse race only the day before, the old race goer with the gray beard leaned over and queried: “Didn’t you think it great eport?”’ “Y-e-8,” he slowly admitted, but his looks belied his words. “Mighty exciting, isn't it?” contin- ued the first speaker enthusiastically. “Yes, it certainly is,” was the quiet answer. “So that was your firet race, eh?” “The very first, sir, and my last, too, I'm thinking.” “But you can't possibly mean that? You certainly must have enjoyed such rare sport?” “At first—yes.” ‘When the horses got away at the pm:t didn't it make your hair stand up?” “Seems to me it did.” “And as they came up on the home stretch, neck and neck, could you con- tain yourself?” “I—I managed to.” “That's funny,” mused the old race goer with a cold look at the other. “Say, now, honestly, when the people rose up and shouted as in one voice weren't you carried away with enthu- slasm?” “Well, the fact is,” replied he with the Van Dyke beard, as if he thought some explanation should be given, “the fact is I wasn't listening to the shouts of the crowd or paying much attention to the horses after the first race.” “You—you weren't!"” other in astonishment, “No, sir. You see, I lost five dol- lars on the first race, and all I heard after that were the remarks of my wife concerning that fiver!” gasped the End cf Napoleon's Glory. One hundred years ago the van- guard of the Austrian army entered Fontainebleau, one of the most his- toric towns in all France, located on the Seine a short distance from Paris. Fontainebleau is particularly famous as the seat of g magnificent royal palace, which was first erected at the beginning of the eleventh century | and enlarged and adorned by the suc-‘l cessive kings of France. Here was | signed the famous concordat between the Emperor Napoleon and Pope Pius VIL in January, 1813. And here, also, the emperor was soon to formally ab- dicate the throne of France and bid farewell to his army, before being banished to Elba by the victorious na- tions allied against him, ————— Coincidences. “Managers are complaining that it Is 5o hard to get a good chorus to- gether.” “Well, didn't you read abo . pending lobster famine?” ikt —_— Some men are so constituted that they will yield to nothing | temptation. b ,0no 1912 Flanders 20 Roadster $275 : PO B ED PP w BARGAINS [KODAKS Second-Hand Cars FOR QUICK SALE KODAK SUPFLIES One (adillac truck . 750 One 19912 Flanders ourin 275 i ) i é One 1913 Krit Roadste:' gcal‘ 350 lea srami'kemedles One 1913 Krit Touring car.. 375 One 1912 Haynes ...... v oo 700 5 S ; One 1913 Oakland Roadster... 500 o 113 e, w1 | NOTTES Zandly Every week b Expres-: 3 Red (ross Pharnacy PHONI( 89 The Store Acommodating All cars in splendid condition Agent for Lozier Cars.
