It was a sweet, pleasant face, despite the shadow on it, and the few silver threads that five-and- thirty years had left among the brown tresses on her forehead; a grave, kind face, with a soul looking out of the brown and making you feel at once that Margery Marsh was a wo- man to be trusted, and one wno was able to stand alone with her pure, womanly dignity.

He came often, but she fancied that it was Elifie Darryl's pretty face which attracted him; and thinking this, wita a nameless pain at her heart, tried to avold him, and forget her foolish dream of waat might not be, He looked up, as they stood among the roses, and saw Margery standing on the veranda, A bright smile made his bronzed and bearded face look very much like the face of the Joan Cramer she had known years ago, and he came up the path, and sald, as he ran up the steps and held out his hand in the old; frank way: “You have grown to be a little gray nun, Margery. 1 hardly see you at all.

It has long been known that the dis tinguishing caaracter of the human brain is the large number of connect ing fibres, by which its cells are co- ordinated. In no other are they so numerous or complicated, The cells constitute but a very small part of the weight. There {8 now consider: able evidence that the same rule ap plies among individual men, and that those of great intelligence have more connections, so that their cells can do more and better “team work."
