Finally, v.-'E-N the !. -D I. "Ethel,
did you SEE the n an you would marry :

red and, • ov ' ag her face with both
hands, drojiped l-.>r In. d on the table.
All the cir. I were on the tiptoe of
expectation. Oalls of "Tell us!" "Out t
With it!" "Oniife-'s!" "Don't be
afraid!" were made to the poor girl,
who, after enduring the fusillade for
a few minutes, pushed back her chair
and ran out of the room amidol babel i
of shouts and laughter.
I knew that something unusual had
happened to the girl and sympathized
with her in being obliged to suffer the
raillery of her companions. Young
people are not very thoughtful about
such matters. Indeed, 1 suppressed
some indignation at what had oc
curred. When the noise had some-

my mind oeeuplisl w th what had
m eiirrisl nt brpnkfast, I ti"ik a fancy
to stroll out Into a nood for inedtta
lion. It was one of those bright, erlap
mornings we get only nt the turning
point between summer nnd winter.
The season wns lute, and many varie
gated leaves still hung upon the treea.
Presently I espipd ahead of ine n girl
walking alone among the trees In an
other moment I recognized the figure
of Kthel Damon. I waa delighted nt
the op|mrtunlty of meeting her. I wns
sure shp wns there to be alone, hut I
rpnlized also thnt people who wish to
be alone also desire n confidant If the
right person is available. I caught up
wltli her, called to her She stopped
and turned.
It Is some years since 1 saw that ex
presslon on her face, but It Is us clear
in my memory as then. Indeed, it is a
picture that never can fade. There
were A slight blush, A smile and the
words, "How* glad 1 am that you are
here!" Then when I reached her she
laid her hand on my arm, seemingly
\\itlt that sense of sion a girl
feels on being just I. -I rot hod to the
man of her choice.
What did it mean?
"I am glad," I said when I felt that
I most speak, "that my pre EIU-e does

nature of the man she had married

that "to err 1* human, to forgive di

Hinln to Swimmers.
An expert swl.-amcr is authority for
1 the assertion that a vast majority of
the drowning casualties which are at
tributed to cramps are in all prohahll
-1 Ity the result of eardiiic exhaustion.
Nearly all experienced swimmers, he
says, know that cramps when in the
water are of comparatively Infnunent
oi I'lirrcnce. It Is commonly In the car
of the leg. and the swimmer by lying
' quietly upon his back without undue
' alarm and stri' dung out the leg may

ertion ot swimming, however, is fully
equal to the exertion of running, with
the additional tax upon the system of
1 n gradual lowering of the bodily tem

Conscience Versus Art.
i Shortly after Tennyson's poem "Tho
I Vision of Sin" appeared an eminent
; mathematician sent the poet a letter •
that ran like this:
i "Pear Sir—l hud In a recent poem of
yours, entitled 'The Vision of Sin,'
, the following unwarranted statement:
i 'Every moment dies a until, and every
• moment one is born.' 1 need hardly
I point out that this calculation, if eor-
L reel, would tend to keep the sum total

- perpetual equipoise, whereas it is an
' established fact that the said popula

would therefore suggest that In the
