"Why, nothing specially, dear," re plied his wife She wiped her arms on her apron that she might put them about his neck without soiling his shirt. "You write ever so much better than I, only I've I teen at it longer. You mustn't get discouraged. You'll strike it in time." "Time! I've been at it two vears. No, Stella I guess it's a eity d< ~k and twenty live a week for mine for tie rest of my life. What's the odds any way?" In the face of such hopelessness as thlM Stella felt her presence worse than useless. She put up her rosy lips to be kissed and went back to continue her struggle with the coffee cups She had seen Anthony "down" very often of late, and she had recognized In this heartsickness the one malady of which Bhe might not even try to cure him Her attempts Indeed seemed only to Ir rltate and annoy the big, square chinned fellow, whose defeat was so much the harder for liini to hear be cause of her success. Anthony loved his wife, as a great many everyday men still do, in spite of the qulbs and jests of the comic pa pers. He had thought her the daintiest and brightest of little women when lie married her, and his greatest delight had come with the contemplation of the things he would do for her when he "got there." That lie would ulti mately "get there" he had never doubt ed. The newspaper on which he work ed had printed three or four of his ro mances, and scores of his friends had complimented him on their cleverness. Surely the magazines ought not to be difficult after this! As a matter of fact, they had proved not oin.v (IJT/leult, Hut impregnable Manuscript after manuscript was re turned to liiin. always "with thanks" and a printed slip. Stella, on the other band, had re -eived sf> for her very first story, a fable intended for children, and had sold nearly everything that had come from her pen since. This had not been so humiliating, for Antho ny naturally looked upon fairy tales with some contempt, but lately Stella had found a steady market for humor ous verse, and humorous verse her bus band considered his forte. The fact that he was fond of her and wanted her to be proud of him made her prog ress merely the more a reproach. It was he who must be proud of her now —he, Anthony Matthew, Fix feet one In his stockings. Somehow those six feet were the crowning aggravation There was no denying that, not with standing his superior height, Anthony did not write half so well as Stella. His work lacked the grace and point of hers, and he conceded it A bur lesque sonnet which she had finished the night before lay on the desk beside a long envelope addressed to the "l'.d I tor of the Decade." Anthony hiid read the verso twice, and he knew that It was better Mian anything he had ever done. The I»eca<le would print It, and the boys at the otfico would say: "Saw a poem of your wife's this morning I should think you'd no In for magazine work some yourself, old man." Stella's fresh young voice made Itself heard al«ov the clatter of plates In the room adjolnintr "The flood Old Simi mer Time" had trlvon way to "Beda lla." Anthony paused, holding the man uscript, to listen: "<>h, Hedalta. 'lndia, I>alia, I've made up iny mind !> ■ t;11■ • yo; Oh, Bedalla, lieilall.i, dear!" Mere association of words shot a Hidden impulse into hi- brain. The son net was In his hands, the addressed en velope was before him why shouldn't this contribution goto the Deeado over his signature? its appearance as his composition would be in the nature of n triumph, and Anthony felt that he had earned a triumph of one kind or another. "I saw a poem of yours." they would be compelled to remark frt the otlice. And Stella? Why, Stella could gain nothing by the use of her name with the verse nothing but a few dollars, which lie could easily make up to her In allowance, \nyhow Stella was his wife, and what belonged to her belonged to him. If slie knew what he was going to (!o she wouldn't care, she would be glad that he had found a way to be happy. Anthony seized the pen at Ills elbow and signed the poem In a lirm, round hand; then he folded the paper, placed It In the envelope and sealed It Stella heard him open the door of the apart lueut and came out to ask where he was going"To mail your 'stuff' to tye 1 'eeade, ti<' t<>l«l her. "I II I"' right back." Hut lie didn't come "right back." Once the t ii\ had been dropped in tin- lii>x his guilt tlin \v awa> its mask and rose to lace lilm. He realized as suddenly as the temptation had como to him that lie \v:is a thief. The paltry excuses through which lie lia«l looked at his act melted under the glaring eyes ol' an accusing iscicuce, anil lie dared not return to the tender gaze of ins wife "»Jreat heavens, what have I ,|,(ii' " lit- asked himself as he stood at the cruel and "What have 1 doneV" In- kept re, eating as tlie elevated hur rieil him along to his work. All through the day new phases of his plight persistently crowded into his mind. What it the editor of the Decade recognized Stella's style In the sonnet and wrote to ask questions? What If he failed to keep her from seeing the especial number of the magazine in which the poem was published? In ei ther lit' these events what Would sh>J think of him? Would he lose her re spect and her confidence altogether? Anthony wiped the perspiration from his brow at the thought. She might even cease to love him. It was a hard eight hours for the city editor of the afternoon paper which paid fir the Matthews' livelihood. It was a harder evening which brought Stella's w> homing kiss and her half hart Inquiry. "What took you away so suddenly this morning?" The week that ensued Was hardest of till. lie had become si> morbid on the subject of the suiiiiet that he was afraid to take the one backward course that suggest ed itself to him that of writing the editoi that a mistake had been made in the signature lest that astute gen tleman should suspect the truth. His eyes, formerly so frank and honest, rarely met those of his wife, who soon discovered that s unething was wrong. On the elevated station one after noon when he was going home Antho ny s'iw the August number of the 1 iccaiie. Only nine days had elapsed since lie had posted Stella s poem, yet he looked through the magazine with agonizing apprehension. Suppose it happened to have been used In that issue? 11 is hands were shaking when he turned the last leaf, and he felt a hysterical longing to laugh or cry. "This thing is playing the very devil with me.'" lie coiifc-'sed to himself. "I can't stand it much longer. I'm going to tell Stella all about It." lie fully intended to do so when he opened hiit door and saw the love and solicitude in the face of the little wo man who met him. "Then- s a letter in the dining room for you," she said. "It's from the Decade. I didn t know yon sent them anything. You won't let it make you blue, w ill you, dear?" "No," said Anthony shortly. lie strode into the dining room and shut the door behind him. It had come at last. What should lie do with the money? Nothing in the world could Induce him to touch it. Ho wasn't that kind of a thief. A few minutes later Stella, finally re solved not to be angry at anything Anthony did when he was so plainly despondent, opened the door anil stared at him "Why, Kiddie," she said, 'you look so happy. Was it a check?" "No," he replied exultantly, dropping on the tloor the bits of paper he had held in his hand. "No! A returned manuscript thank God!" KnJ«»j«-il the UnKpipew. In his story of the life of Lord Strath cona Mr. Heckles \\ illson tells an amusing anecdote of his lordship's ear ly days when as Donald Smith he en tered the employment of the Hudson Hay company and commenced to build up the riches which made him a peer millionaire. A fellow Scotchman who worked with Smith on the same station brought out a set of bagpipes on one occasion, and when the Indians anil Eskimos had gathered round he struck up "The Highland Laddie" or some such air. The delight of the aborigines was immense. Their faces lit up with rapture, and with open mouths and ears they drank in the sounds produced by the instrument. Afterward a discussion arose at the company's factory as to whether the Eskimos wen- of Mongolian or Ice landic extraction. "Hoots, mon, ye're a' wrang." broke in the impatient piper.

She worn my roses In the belt »112 her white gown and In her bronze hair. For some time I hud not dared to approach Florine without being for tilied with disagreeable speeches; oth erwise 1 should have been guilty of proposing to her. Considering that her monthly income wan quite equal to my annual one, a proposal of marriago from me would bo palpably absurd. I sighed, and my sigh amused Florine. "Oh, I'm glad it's you!" she said brlghtlv "I saw a visitor in mv tea cup." I frowned and took a chair on the other side of tlie table. "1 wish you wouldn't," I sai'l "Wouldn't what? Oive you a cup of ten? Well, you needn't drink it. Are you afraid It will hurt your com plexion?" Her tone was bantering, but her eyes had a hint of concern In their violet depths. I looked away as I an swered . "The other nlglit at pit you turned your chair around three times, and then when you lost you attributed it to the misplacing of your rabbit foot." "1 did make a mistake," she said gravely, "it wasn't the rabbit foot; It was the day. Wednesday Is my un lucky day." "If you keep on folks will think you are weakinlnded," I continued, keep ing my ga/.e carefully from the danger ous charm of her face. "I have actual ly heard it said that you wear an amu let I" Florine was silent so long that I was compelled to glance at her. She was regarding me with what might bo termed a complex look. Her mouth was dimpled with smiles, her lifted brows were derisive, but her eyes were troubled. I Ignored the eyes. "This superstition business detracts from your real worth," I went on re lentlessly. "It Is the flaw In the dia mond, the blight in the rose, the the "Fly In the ointment?" she suggested politely. "To have it told around that you wear on amulet!" 1 reiterated In lino scorn. Then Florine laughed. When Florine laughs— "You poor old dear!" she exclaimed as soon as she was able. "I don't be lieve you have the ghost of an idea what an amulet is!" I was solid on that score, for I had Just learned the definition from tho dictionary. " 'An object, usually a peculiar bit of stone, metal, bone, paper, wood or tli'- like, worn by superstitious people as a protection against witchcraft, bad luck, disease, accidents, etc. A charm"— "Oh, don't!" she choked. "You are too absurd." Then she went off into another gale of laughter. "I don't see where the absurdity comes in," I retorted. "If that isn't an amulet, then what is it r" I supped my tea with dignity while Florine recovered herself. "I knew a girl once who wore an amulet," she said at last. "It was the —well, the picture of somebody she liked." Picture- ah! To be sure, I wasn't an Adonis, neither wiw I afraid of breaking the camera, but for one rea son or another 1 had faced a photog rapher. Picture, was It? Was she the girl? I wondered. "It wasn't bone, metal, stone, paper or wood," she went on."And she didn't war It as a protection against l anything. She Just wore It because she liked It, because she liked the man i whose picture was in it." "It wasn't an amulet then," I said, setting down my cup. "It was au amulet," contradicted | Florine. "I'niuiaginary folks get their definitions out of the dictionary. Other people"— "How about a walk?" 1 interrupted. I couldn't even pretend to be disagree able any longer; neither could I mus tor up determination enough to leave her lovely, laughing sprite that she was. I'erhaps there was less danger In walking. "Rut I am going to have another I caller," she demurred. "I»o you see him In your teacup?" I asked. "No; I see him at the gate," she laughed, "although he may be coming to see mamma. lie Is very foud of mamma. Possibly I shall be nt the summer house soon." It was clearly a dare, and I took it. I went to the summer house. Around the summer house are trees and flow ers; in front is a mlnaturo lake—a beautiful place, but a dangerous one when a man has no right to tell what sometimes dims his eyes and Impedes his speech. As I sat down something at my feet caught my eye. I picked It up. It was a heart shaped locket set with rubies. It flew open In my hand, disclosing two scraps of white cloth. I exam ined the pieces with some Interest, efl peclally as 1 notices! that my mono gram graced the upper one. They were two corners from one of mj' handker chiefs evidently. Anyway it was my monogram. When my eyes fell on the other piece a bewildering lot of thoughts chased through my brain, for that piece bore my profile, traced clev erly In purple Ink, Florine's amulet - a "picture of a man she liked!" No more letting a paltry fortune stand be tween us. if she really cares, and It must be she cares, or When I got so far I Jumped up and started Joyfully for florine's presence. Then another Idea assailed me. Sup pose Florine should think that my find ing the amulet Influenced my declara tion; that It was an affair of honor, so to speak I laid the locket carefully under a small tir and went back to the summer house. I was scarcely seated when Florine came flying down tho path, her flimsy gown floating like a lovely white cloud around her. "You can laugh or you can scold. I don't care!" she asserted tearfully. "I did treat an aWuTet, but no\» irs gone!" She sat down by me dabbed at her pretty eyes with a square Inch of lace edged linen. I neither laughed nor scolded 1 be gan telling her a sfon "(Mice upon a time there lived a beau tiful princess adored by every one.

"I don't dare," I answered meekly. "I was only show ing you what the man did who belonged In tii** court of the princess.'' "Well, goon," she commanded. "1 can't." "Why?" "I don't know what the princess did after he- after that," I sighed, al though looking at Florlne hopefully. She smiled.

When Payne wrote "There's No Place Like Home," he gave poetic expression to the love he bore toward the *igle nook more precious than "temples or palaces." What flowers of rhetoric could approach in power of assertion these five little monosyllabic words, "There's No Place I.ike Home"—to gainsay which were impossible! It Is the great privilege of Americans to be able without hyperbole to apply them to travel, for what Is there in any part of the habitable globe more fraught with interest, instruction, edu cation, refreshment of mind and body and uplifting of soul than nature has provided, with hand so lavish, for tho delectation of those having the good fortune to dwell in this goodly land?
