He contrasted what might have been with what was. By now Celestia should | have been his, linked to him by in- | dissoluble bonds. Perhaps now, he thought, | she would love me. He would have kept her in the cave for a while, and then he would have sneaked her, feasting his eyes on her beauty, to somé far coun- try, where her face and volce were not 80 well known. There he would marry her legitimately, and by him she could have many wonderful and beautiful sons and daughters. That was what might have been. In- stead, -behold him, sitting in pitch dark- ness, his shelter burning behind him, as a | call for that help which might hever come, How long, oh, Lord, how long. Suddenly through his right hand, which rested on the ground, there shot a sharp stab of pain. He jerked his hand up- ward with an oath. It flashed through his mind that he had been stung by a/ ground hornet. As a matter of fact, a little creeping tongue of flame had burnt him. | Prof. Stilliter's fire was spreading. | Crevices in the rock in which were lichens @nd dried mosses, carried little torches hither and thither, torches that were only too eager to find and set fire to something worth while. The main fire made such a crackling and roaring now that Prof. Stilliter had not heard the lesser sounds which it made in spreading. It was some mo- ments before he realized that he had rot been stung but burned. It was a smell of burning cloth that made this clear to him. The professor's coat hdd , caught fire. He moved further away un« | til there seemed to be nothing about lim but unburnable rock. He found the place in his coat which was burning and managed to apit upon it till it was out. He sat down once more. He was in the midst of one of those great open {'splashes of granite on the mountain side. As a matter of fact, he was near the edge of one of these masses. Within reach of his hand was a dense tangle of tinder dry scrub trees, shrubs and dead wood. Suddenly this shrubbery caught and went off almost like an explosion. Prof, Stilliter staggered backward from the intense heat, and realized presently that he was backing into another area -of heat equally intense. On his hands and knees he made off in a direction that took him winding be- tween the two; he went quite a long way. In his breast was the firet touch of panie, - : L Now for !hQ second. Directly in his path there drose a steady, a vibrant, a horrid and incessant clashing: of all the sounds in this world the coldest blooded and the most menacing and sinister. The fire urged him forward. The rat- tlesnake cofled In his path, dared him to come on. He rose to his feet shivéring and in an agony of fear and dread. Suddenly he eried aloud: “My God! My God! What have I done to deserve this Only the fire answered him and the rattlesnake. Presently it became neces- sary. for him to go forward or to burn to death where he stood. He went forward with slow high steps —a figure at once tragic and &rotesque, But the snake, too, had grown uncom- fortable in the increasing heat, and he, too, made off after one final balancing and drawing back of his head, the jaws wide open as If to strike, (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) e | | ill Advice to Lovelorn BY BEATRICE PAIRY.

[ True Love in a Cottage By BEATRICE FAIRFAX, “Love in a Ctottage” is not a poet's dream; it is & real practical possibility. But=and there is a large but—everything deends on whether the love and the cot- tage are both real. Love can make a rose-twined cottage out of & room in a slum tenement, and cruel indifference ls capable of turning & rose arbor over the door of a beautiful littie home into a hedge of thorns, If the foundations of love are firm, and 80, too, are those of the little house where it comes to dwell, both will stand sturdily facing storm and tempest and all the wear and tear of heat and cold and fortuye's mischances right through life untfl eternity itself. Now this is glorlously true; but you have to be fairly sure of both your love and your cottage. More, you have tg be certain of them as one may be of any- | thing in all this mutable world of ours. I am not recommending a stampede to the altar on $12 a week nor yet on $15 and ‘3300 in the bank.” For some “good managers,” for some sturdy workers with future advancement assured, such sums might assure the monthly payents on the cottage and the bread and milk for love's sustenance and the warm gear to keep his spark of life burning In the world's winter. ‘There Is & happy mean In marriage as in all other things.

And Charley must add to his knowledge that he wants Lucy and wants Lucy to be happy, these questions of him- self: “Will I love Lucy when she is tired and worn from working to make by scanty earnings cover our wants? Will I work with vim and vigor to get ahead for her? And am I gure of myself and my deter- mipation to succeed? Will I be tender and kind to make up for the luxuries 1 cannot give. “Will I keep away from pleasures 1 cannot afford and forego being one of the boys and find my happiness with my wife and in- her happiness? Wil I ald her efforts to make me a home and not insist on miracles of housewifery from a #irl who is as adept at her game as I am at mine—of earning the wherewithal for her to bulld us a nest?" It both will bear and forebear and work together as partners—if both will face difficulties with a laugh that marks fron determination to win above them—if both will bring unselfishness and considera- tion to keep love blooming and fresh—if tenderness and strength are there to keep their romance alive—then love in a cot- tage is & wonderful thing, But love in & cottage is not for physical weaklings or moral cowards, or idle wast- ers. A year or two of emotion will for them be followed by breaking heaith, or insane jealousy of those who do mot have to say, “I can't afford that," or extrave- | gance that leads to ruin. . | Love in & cottage may mean purgatory The toque has an upstanding ruche of white gros- It Can Be Attained, but it Means a Lot of Self-Bacrifice. : : : or “Heaven below.”” Each of us has to dectde what it shall mean in our individ- ual case and then file it or embrace it reverently. 1t will spell happiness when it houses perfect love mingled with inde- pendence and proper pride and willing- ness, plus abllity to work and mutual confidepce and trust.

The dog looked at him for & moment, then turned his back upon him and crawled under a table at the farther- most corner of the room. “Well, sald the man, “then go under the table! I will be obeyed!"
