Margery’s
Little Romance,
5252S, c
Miss Margery stood on the veranda
in the shadow of the luxuriant clema-
tis vines, and watched man and
woman in the garden among the
roses, with a s¢
on her face. 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. But It is a sad
thing to see any woman or man for
that matter—standing alone in the
world. God never meant {t to be so.

When John Cramer came back
Europe a thrill of the old
in Margery's heart, like an echo of

Her lover once,
She had thought, in a vague,
aad left behind him. But when he
came, and the first quiet greeting was
over, she was quite sure that he had
long ago ceased to love her, and sne
had kept herself in shy seclusion. 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. I am half Inclined to think you
hide away when | am here. You are
not afraid of me, I hope?”
“Oh, mo,” she answered, quietly,
though the touch of his fingers sent
a strange, swift thrill of fire in her
veins. “I am never afrald of an old
friend.”
“An old friend!” he repeated, soft-
ly, with his eyes upon her face. “Have
you ever thought that that might be
a sorrowful word to listen to?”
“Friendship is never a sorrowful
word,” she answered, her eyes falter
ing a little under his earnest gaze.
“It might be If we cared for some-
thing more than friendship,” he said,
and there was something in ais tone
which made her lift her eyes in a
sudden, questioning way to his face.
There was a strange, grave tender

there long ago.

THE WEIGHT oF THE BRAIN.
Relation to Intellect—Connection
Between the Brain Cells.
Other factors besides brain weight
are known to influence intelligence.
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."
