Lessing to be back again at Squire Brenner’s house that afterncon in early May. The placid New England country, ! | Ereen with young grass, scenes came back so vividly to his remembrance. It was four years since he had left Wakefleld, to make | his way in the world, and now, at the ! age of twenty-six, he was back, Bren- | | ner's guest, and already with an es- | | tablished position in the city. j It was an open secret that he had | come back to ask Madge to be his | | wife. They were old friends. She hnd written to him sometimes, and | ;thero was always a note of intimacy Come in and let us explain \ in her letters. It had been an id)mc the successful way to make good pictures. Your summer's trip will be pleasantly remembered by the use of a good kodak. “The Red Cross!

And they received him like an old | friend. When Madge shook with him he felt the same subtle touch of sympathy. And Edith, her sister, smiled as she greeted him. She seemed to know; everybody knew | the purpose of his return during that hig father's oldest friend. the impending engagement as they strolled under the big chestnut trees together. “The man who gets Madge will be a lucky fellow,” he said. “She Is a girl of sterling merit. And she wiil inherit a good deal of money.” Then, ! he turned suddenly and shook hands with the young fellow. In the old days he and Leslie Carter had been rivals for Madge. Leslie had borne no malice when his suit ! was gently declined. hardly expected to see Carter there, but he seemed to be on intimate terms with the family. He, too, was a week-end guest at the Brenner home. During dinner Lessing noticed with a touch of the old jealousy that Car- ter seemed to have established a brotherly relationship with the girls. And this was all that was needed to kindle the ycung man's determina- ' tlon. He would ask Madge that night. | The opportunity was easily urrhvd at, for the squire retired to his li- . brary, and Mrs. Brenner nodded over her sewing. The girls and Carter had ' She Looked Worn and Haggard. gone out into the garden, Lessing | lingering behind to settle Mrs. Bren- | mer in her chair and put the knitting ! needles in her lap. Then he hurried | out Madge was waiting for him! That | was a blunt way of putting it, and | yet he knew that the same Instinct of understanding which had always bound them together had sent her alone to that arbor beneath the chest- The night was dark; he could | nuts.

Will you | “Dearest,” | by the l.mh be my wife? “Yes,” she whispered, and pressed her lips to his. And the he found himself looking into Edith's dark eyes. It was well for his training that he had been schooled in a difficult world. He did not start or hv!ruy himsgelf. He linked her arm through his and they started back toward the house together. | And, at the door, stood Madge and Carter. “Aren't you coming out— 7 Carter ‘b(‘;:&l., and then the sight of Less- ing’s face checked him “] want to tell you all” sald Less- | ing, “that Edith has promised to be my wife.” He kissed her again at the foot of the stairs and vurx up to his room He sat for hou in his chair, thinking.

[ There was no possibility of misunder- | standing what that expression had meant when she kissed him. A man who lives by a code is bound ;Mth silken threads stronger tlmn‘ steel. Lessing knew that there was | no way out of the entanglement with honor. He was the first down in the morn- | ing, but after he had paced the : grounds for a few minutes, Carterl joined him. | “I didn’t have much chance to con- | gratulate you last night,” he sald, of- | fering his hand. “It's odd, isn't it?” ! he continued, with a short laugh. | | “Do you know, I always thought it | was Madge you cared for.” | Lessing tore himself away, because | he could not trust himself to speak. As he entered the breakfast-room | Madge passed him. They stopped and | Hooked at each other for an instant. There were dark rings under her | eyes, and she looked worn and hag- | gard. Then she fnclined her head slowly and was about to pass him. “Madge!” cried Lessing, suddenly. He touched her arm. “Won't you come here a moment?” he asked, draw- lng her toward the door. “Madge! I thought—" | She trled to pass him, but he blocked the way. She was crying; she could not restrain herself. “Don't!" he pleaded—and suddenly I he was holding her in his arms and | kissing her as he had done so often in his dreams, but had never done in reality. She lay in his arms without resist- ing, and it was fully a minute before she could get her voice. “Why—why—?" she stammered, “It was you, Madge,” he cried des- borutely “I thought that Edith was { you, It was quite dark, and you both i wore Wwhito dresses. I though that you knew, and that you had gone there to wait for me.” “You thought—it was—I?" she ex- clalmed, looking up at him with | staring eyes. “I made a mad mistake which I ! must atono for the rest of my life,” he answered. “Edith loves me, and | she thinks I love her. You remember | the old days? This must be good- | by, Madge, forever, my dear.” A sllvery laugh from the breakfast room startled them. They spun round, to see Edith standing there. “I couldn’t help hearing you,” she | said, laughing happily. “O, Arthur, | how foollsh we both were! I could never have found courage to tell | you—" “To tell me?” “That 1 thought you were Leslle,” she replied. | And then, in the revulsion of it all, Arthur kissed Edith again. But Madge did not seem to care. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) SACRED TO TENDER MEMORY Bunday Night Sparking a Time of Joy That Leaves Its Impression on the Heart.

The low fire and the low light have cast a goftened glow that rcaches all the way to the ! grave. They who are grown old and heart hardened may sneer at it now and think that young hearts should be calloused as old ones are; but time was with all of us when we looked forward through the seven days of the week to Sunday night as the golden time of the week. And our fathers did it. And our grandfathers And our great-grand- fathers. It is an ancient human cus- tom that did not originate with our own youth or fail with it.
