But she did not seem to hear me, and continued “And then there were constant difficult, teasing questions to decide, and even pro vokingly trivial things grew important if I had to deal with them, and | was so easily frightened. ” “And so," I began, for Frances had left off speaking and seemed to ha. e forgo ten my existence “And so," she repeated, shaking her- self out of her musings, “I used to say, when 1 am 40 life will be worth living. There will be nothing more to happen that is unusual; no more important decisions to be made. The rest of oue's days will be spent in a pleasant monotony. A few every-day worries that no mortal can escape; sickness perhaps, but nothing un ususl to bear, nothing in the future to torment me. ” "Eo is that your idea of a satisfactory er” I could only ask questions, for bad I no Sy utpakhy in Frances’ mood that night. “Anything is better than the eterpal questions, whether we have done right or wrong; wisely or foolishly, ” she nnswered, irrelevantly. “ Whether one has sacrificed ones’ life, or escaped a misfortune.

The face of the owner grew red der us he leaned over the pickets and saw a train approaching. But he never moved a step, although some thoughtless spec tators looked on to see him follow the course of his y in a mad resolu tion to rescue it. A small boy on the roadway opposite saw his plight, leaped from his w , moun the fence, picked up the hat and handed it to the owner. The red-faced man said simply, “Thank you, " and resumed his way. “Never go for a lost hat yourself,” he observed to a companion. “During a long experience | have uniformly observed a principle in human nature which invariably leads somebody else to run sad pick it up.” “My dear follow, * replied his Soules fon, “the principle is of universal applica tion.
