Sue was seated by her bedroom fire
deep in thought. The firelight glim-
merzd upon the rich folds of har white
satin dress. Her elbow was on her
knee and her chin rested on her hand;
she was lost in thought, gazing absent-
ly upon the red glowing coals as
though she wanted to look through
them and beyond them to some bright-
er, happier life on the other side. And
the bitterest part of the whole thing
was that it was her own fault from
beginning to end. She hal been given
a far larger share of! happiness than
falls to ti
had thrown it away with her own
hand. She raised her eyes and gazed
around the luxurious rcom in which
she sat; no thought and no money had
been spared to make it as beautiful as
possible, all the thought and care of
the husband who had idolized her and
whose love she had thrown away on
her wedding day.
It had been one of those misunder-
stndings and mistakes which have no
real cause. She had been proud and
wilful, had told him that all her love
had been given to her cousin before she
ever met him, and that her marriage,
like hundreds of fashionable marriages
every year, had been a ‘marriage of
convenience.” It was hardly fair news
to a husband on his wedding day, but
Arthur Davenant was a man who
wanted love for love, and would ac-
cept her on no other terms. And so
he had given her back her freedom,
only begging her to stay under his
roof and bear his name that the world
should know nothing of their story.
They had passed a month in Paris for
the honeymoon, and then he had
brought her to his home. the home
prepared by an eager bridegroom for
the reception of a dearly loved wife.
For nearly a year they had lived to-
gether, outwardly as friends, but see-
ing nothing of each other except at
meals or in the presence of guests.
The house was usually full and she
made an ideal hostess. He always
treated her with the utmost courtesy
and consideration? and he bided his
time. He was in parliament and man-
aged his own estate—was, indeed, en-
grossed in his own life, she thought,
and left no room for her! For so per-
verse is woman's heart that when he
let her go she would have given all
she had in the wide world to have him
back. In her early girlhood she had
been devoted to a cousin who was ab-
golutely penniless and who went out to
try his luck in Virginia.
No actual engagement had ever ex-
isted between them, and after he had
been gone some years and any hope of
a marriage was as distant as ever Ar-
thur Davenant had wooed her, and her
parents urged her to accept him. He
was a man few girls could have re
sisted, but her heart was so wrapped
up in her cousin that she fancied she
would never have any love to give,
Arthur Davenant had found her cold
to his wooing, but he had the confi-
dence of an ardent lover that he would
win her when she was his wife.
She was naturally very self-con-
tained, and as the months went hy he
never guessed her secret that she was
learning to love him with all the pas-
sion of her woman’s life—a love be-
side which the feeling for her cousin
had been a mere girlish fancy. Kind,
courteous, and considerate as he was
he was unapproachable. Doubtless he
had ceased to love her: other things
had filled his mind. “Love is of man’s
life,a thing apart,” and it was over for
him probably, and too late she had
learned to value the pearl she nad |
spurned. The very sight of him as he
sat opposite to her at the table made |
her heart throb. According to her own |
request he never kissed her or even |
touched her save sometimes to shake |
her hand on bidding good night. Hew |

The color flamed up into her cheeks
when she looked up and saw her hus-
band. He was looking unusually hand-
some tonight, and there was a tender
light in his eyes as he glanced down
at her quickly lowered head. He car-
ried a blue velvet case in his hand. He
took up his position with his back to
the fireplace quite close to her, and
[Joohed down in silence for some min-
utes—looked down on her bowed head,
thinking that it was bent in cold in-
difference, little guessing the passion-
ate longing that was surging within
her heart. She wondered if he could
hear her heart beat; it seemed almost
that he must in the absolute stillness.
The little carriage clock ticked; a coal
fell upon the hearth. She clenched
her hands together, but she dared not
look up. At last he spoke.
“Mabel, I thought you would forgive
me for coming to your room so late,
but I remembered it was your birth-
day tomorrow and I wanted you to ac-
cept my present when we were alone—
and we never are alone, are we? Not
for five minutes since I came back.”
There as a ring of almost entreaty in
his voice. ‘Do you mind?”
“Mind? Oh, no.”
Her voice sounded cold even to her-
self, but she could scarcely control it
from trembling. “It is so good of you
to remember,” she added lamely.
“Good?”
He opened the case and displayed a
row of the most exquisite pearls with
a diamond clasp lying on a pale blue
velvet lining.
She got up and stood close beside
him to examine the necklace: her eyes
were clouded and a lump was rising in
her throat that almost choked her.

There was a world of tenderness in
his voice as he put her gently from
him that he might have the joy of look-

face in his two hands and looked down
into her eyes.
“Mab, is this a dream?’ His voice
was very low and hoarse from the in-
tensity of his emotion.
“No,” she whispered, “it is life. Oh,
Arthur, Arthur, can I ever make you
believe how I have learned to love you,
Yow I have been hungering for your

such as draughtsmen use and occupied

women. They are repairers of manu-
scripts. Their skill has made it pos-
sible to use for purposes of research
some of the priceless old manuscripts
that have come into possession of the
government. The curious thing is that
none of them have served the long ap-
prenticeship that one would think
necessary before undertaking such del-
icate work. Mr. Berwick, the chief re-
pairer, was detailed from the govern-
ment printing office. He and his as-
sistants now do such work as is done
only at the Vatican. Some manuscript
repairing is done in New York, but
only here and in Rome, so far as is
known, is such work being done con-
stantly.

pieces last year ranging from the per-
fect document (requiring little atten-
tion beyond flattening, to the most del-
icate and exacting task of inlaying and

obtained in the Jefferson Library and

tury have been inlaid as rapidly as

completed and another is well in hand.
The royal and vice-royal decrees ob-
tained from New Mexico, which have

The ancient records from Guam, se-
cured at the time of our peaceful con-
test in that island, are fragmentary
and have suffered much from neglect;
but there is much of value, especially
the volumes of the orders of the gov-
ernor, Don Manuel Muro, 1794-1800,
and some court records. There is
hardly a paper of a date earlier than
1860 that will not require repair.
These Guam papers will be taken in
hand by Mr. Berwick’s force as soon
as the Virginia records are completed.
They will not be available for the stu-
dent until the repairs are made.
In repairing, cach paper or collec-
tion of papers requires special treat-
ment, but the general process is the
same. The manuscript is first damp-

smoothed, Tthe nicest care must be
taken to smooth no crease which was
unnoticed by the-writer, lest legibility
be sacrificed. The manuscript is then
dried between hoards and submitted to
heavy pressure. This prevents the re-
appearance of the original roughness.
The period of pressure necessary to
secure a permanently smooth surface
is about 24 hours. Where the quality
of ink will not allow the manuscript
to be dampened it takes a longer time.
The manuscript is now ready to be
repaired. For this purpose paper of
similar color and texture to that of
the original must be obtained, In
mary cases, owing to the age of the
manuscript, this is no easy task. In-
deed, it is the hardest problem for
the repairers to solve. They are con-
stantly in search of old paper, and the
government is always ready and anx-
ious to buy when any is found. Hand-
made paper is necessary, and no bit
of such paper is wasted. Sometimes
in collections of ruanuscript that come
to the library several blank pages are
found. These are eagerly seized upon
and preserved. Pieces no larger than
a twenty-five cent piece are saved as
scrupulously as whole pages. In re-
pairing an effort is made to find a
patch that will match the watermarks
of the original manuscript, so that af-

MYTHICAL ORIGIN OF JAPS.
A Legent that They Are Descended
From the Pick of Ali China.
One of the traditional accounts of
the origin of the Japanese empire
mentioned by the famous Jesuit trav-
eler, Pere de Charlevoix, refers to
the emigration of a Chinese colony
—under rather peculiar circumstances.
Sinosikwo ascended the throne of
China in the year 246 B. C., and at
once entered on a career of cruelty
and tyranny. He was most anxious to
enjoy the privileges of his position
for as long a period as possible. For
the purpose of endeavoring to obtain
some specific agent by which the dura-
tion of human life could be prolonged
he despatched trusted mesaengers and
explorers into all countries with which
he held any communication or of the
whereabouts of which he could obtain
any knowledge.
Taking advantage of the circum-
stances, one of his medical attendants
—Wwho was living in hourly dread of
a sudden sentence of death—told the
emperor that he had learned that such
an agent existed in the juices of a
plant which grew cnly in the islands
which now form the Japanese empire.
1ae plant in question was also reported
to be one of so delicate structure and
sensitive nature that if not plucked
with pure hands and special precau-
tion it would lose all its mysterious
virtues before arriving within the lim-
its of the Chinese empire. It was sug-
gested that 300 young men and the
same number of girls—all of spotless
physical health and moral purity—
should be selected to proceed to Japan
for the purpese of procuring a suffici-
ent supply of the precious plant.
The suggestion was promptly acted
on. The medical adviser patriotical-
ly volunteered to conduct the expedi-
tion himself. and the offer was accept:
ed. The expedition embarked as
speedily as possible for the Japanese
islands, but not one of its members
was ever seen within the bounds of
the Chinese empire again,
The previously unoccupied parts of
Japan were rapidly populated with a
race more fresh and vigorous in body
and mind than the average inhabitants

matrimony then walked down the ser-
ried ranks of beauty as they moved
toward the church and selected the
girls of their choice. A formal visit
to the parents to arrange details was
then made in each case and a date
fixed for the ceremony.

CHILDREN AFFECTED
By Mother's Food and Drink,
Many babies have been launched inte
life * with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mother's
miik. Mothers cannot be too careful
as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience of a IKan-
sas City mother is a case in point:
“I was a great coffee drinker from a
child, and thought I could not eat a
meal without it. But I found at last
it was doing me harm. For years I
had been troubled with dizziness,
spots before my eyes and pain in my
heart, to which was added, two years
ago, a chronic sour stomael. The
baby was born seven months ago, and
almost from the beginning it, too, suf-
fered from sour stomach. She was
taking it from me!
“In my distress I consulted a friend
of more experience than mine, and she
told me to quit coffee, that coffee did
not make good milk; I have since as-
certained that it! really dries up the
milk.
“So I quit coffee, and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then I turned to Postum
Coffee with the happiest results. It
proved to be the very thing I needed.
t not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself, but it increased the flow
of my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum, quickiy got
well of the dyspepsia with which lie
had been troubled. I no ionger suffer
from the dizziness, blind spells, pain
in my heart or sour stomach. Postum
has cured them,
“Now we all drink Postum
husband to my seven months’
It has proved to be the best hot drink
we have ever used. We would not
give up Postum for the best coffee we
from my
1d baby,
ever drank.” Name given Ly Postum
