Ernestine felt that everything
lost, but Will only laughed. If papa
were new and strange, was her
young husband, for he seemed to glow,

“We'll said papa
then mamma broke in.
“You shouldn't have,

the biggest, the most Important thing
in your life—and to take such a step
without your people knowing it! 1
can’t bear to think you'd go off and be
married-—and not tell me.”
“I'm sorry, mamma,” said Ernestine
in distress, and papa took things up
again, He bad made a decision.
“Go to your room, Ernestine”
said In a of stern command,
“and until 1 can talk to
you. If youn ladies will excuse us, we
will settle this Do
you hear me?” he said sharply, turn-
ing his furious eyes -upon Ernestine.
She faltered, half turned to go in

ways ruled his home, without
effort, but Will put his hand

here, Ernestine,” he said in
a low voice, and paused, unde
cided, while mamma and Lillian
seemed to be grouped together on the
other side of the room,
“I can understand your distress,
gir” sald Will. “I can see just how
you feel about this, not knowing me
at all and not unaerstanding my mo-
tives, But you exceed your authority.
If you should detain Ernestine here
by force, 1 have only to go out and
get the nearest policeman and come
back for her. You can't do it.”
There was a moment of incredulous
silence, and papa half turned to Lor
ing, in appeal, and Loring said in a low
tone, “He's right.”
Will followed this advantage swiftly,
“After all, what have you against
me, except you think I may want
Ernestine’s money? We have decided

to do without that, I'm not a stran-

for thirty years. You know my people,
that they are honorable and decent.
There's no reason at all why I shouldn't
make any marriage I choose, even
with Ernestine, I'm working, I can
take care of her.”
Papa raised his clenched fist ashove
his head, as though he would strike
Will, and Ernestine made a little moan
and mamma screamed. But Loring
put his hand on papa'’s arm, and drew
him back. And In that moment Lil-
llan went to Ernestine and put her
arms around her and kissed her.
“Oh, Lill!" Ernestine cried, and
burst into terrible tears. “Papa,

to her father, and holding out her

“Elaine !" sald papa, but she turned
to him, as full of anger as he.
“The chiid Is married,” she ex.
claimed. "She may have made a mis-
take, but If she has, it is only a rea-
son for standing by her. This Is my

Of course papa was helpless, and he
said so with a shrug.
“Mamma,” said Ernestine, “I am
willing to take the responsibility for
my marriage. After all, it's 1 who
married Will"
“Not you alone,” said mamma vig-
orously. “The whole family has mar-
ried him, and we may as well realize
it. For nobody marries just one of
the Bricelands. We are all going to
stand together, always. ‘apa, we will
have to make the best of it. The mar.
ringe will have to stand”
Papa would not look at
answer,
“We'll have to go,” said Will
“Goodby, darling,” sald mamma, and
embraced her. “I'll see you soon.”
“Goodby, papa,” Ernestine faltered,
but papa held his stubborn attitude.
“I'ti have to go upstairs and get

tine, Mamma came out and put her
hand on Will's arm.
“Be good to her,” she implored,
“If you can't take care of her, If she's
not happy, let her come back.”
“I will, Mrs. Briceland,” he said
soberly. “I appreciate what you have
done.”
Mamma wept afresh,

after a moment Ernestine and Will
were out In the dark street again, with
her small dressing case In Will's hands,
The family stood about in the living
room in stricken silence,
The silence lasted for some mo-
ments, then Mrs, Briceland turned to
her husband,
“You should never have let her go
off like that,” she sald reproachfully.
“What will she do?"
“I had no Intention of letting her
go, If you hadn't interfered,” he ex-
claimed. “I was only threatening her
with the loss of the family, in order
to get her to stay here—to gain a
little time,”
“She wouldn't have done It,” sald
Lilllan, “She's too crazy about him,
It probably was her idea that they get
married first. She meant it. You
couldn't have kept her.”
“How much do you
earns, on the Sun?’ asked
and Loring answered:
“Prebably anywhere from
five to forty dollars a week.”
At that papa threw up his hands in
a gesture of despair and

(TO BE CONTINUED)
Almost ns far back as the history
of Rome extends Greek influences are
to be traced in the development of
Roman culture. The Roman people
were conservative and slow to culti-
vate the artistic sense. Rome had
little creative genius. In her whole
history she did not produce an artist
such as Phidias and Praxiteles, The
nature of the Roman was unusually
practical and idealized power, law and
profit, The Romans never created a
distinctive style of architecture such
as the Greeks. They borrowed thelr
urchitecture from the Etruscans and
the Greeks, The literary life of Rome
has a profound effect upon mankind

educational treatises; Caesar with his
commentaries on the Gallie war; Sal
