He gave a grunt of rage, And reached into his waistcoat pocket for the case which he supposed contained his one re- maining spare Dalr of glasses. As we know the case was empty. ! Unmanned by this horrible surprise, the professor forgot his intended vietim for a moment and Freddie selzing the golden | opportunity, made a desperate effort to rise, capsized the professor, eluded the snatch which the latter made at him and won free. Prof. Stilliter rose slowly to his feet, his face pale as with the anticipation of death. 8o he stood a moment and then in & volce that shook he called to Celes- tia, who had remained standing in front of the hut “'Come here, Celestin,” he ealled, Sho moved obediently toward him. But the Ferret threw himself in her way. Some instinct told him that these two people must be kept apart. Celestia Iid her beat to reach Stilliter, but Freddie prevented her by force.

Each was a rover and just as now, but Love was a mifstrel whose path lay in halls where the women idled and the men came to forget. W was Love's own. And man could be hig also without offending Fame. Man was Fame's own—and woman she did not want. 80 Fame and Love grinned at one another amiably when their paths crossed. But now. 8o changed is woman-kind! She’s climbed the grim garden walls—and gone adventuring with the men. She w her spurs and bruises her knees shinning up the same places that' man negotiates. She writes with him and laughs with him, and paints and sells real estate alongside o’ him. She dreams with him and chases the same chimeras—works elbow by elbow and races knee to knee after the same golden gain and name in electric lights that he clutches at. But—so has some mystery always touched the figure of woman that hardly ever can she be Fame's and Love's at once as Love's flowers and throws them away to wither in the sun! The Baby-girl In her basket swings softly to her mother's voice in the tree-top of the world, The moon is soft and the blue haze of new things lies over them both. Who cares what she “will be.” JuSt now she is soft and little and still drowsy from the Land of Baby-Souls where things are dreams and dreams are wrapped tight e#nd close like golden butterflies in their silken husks. Ouly a baby with a button-nose as soft as a bit.of dough (which her mother hopes will not be like-her Aunt Galatha's), a pair of idle blue eyes, hunting little hands, and a blow of feathery hair that is most nothing but sun-mist. Her mother's in love with her now—only that! Her wits are wandering in delight, and the creature for whom mother looks 3 ahead and plans is still asleep! But under the tree of the world where the little girl-baby swings squats these two, Fame and Love, gambling for the girl who will one day be. ‘I will give her,” murmurs Fame,” “‘a name written across the sky, chests of gold, medals and crosses perhaps, personality, and kow-towing wherever she wakes, even if it be among Kings! Abaca- dab Abacaduber! Come five aces! “I will give her,” sings Love in a chant, “two arms about her, for riches only a golden cup wherein will swim the wine of love, bit- ter, sweet, joy unspeakable and sacrifice unending, a house set in a b 13144+ Home oms Boston - Oyster House Famous for its unexcelled service, appeti dishes, and air of gaiety and | testimonial”’ — M TIN, 12 King St., Westbrook, Maine. man has always been able to. garden, and baby-hands on her lips.
