THE BEAUTIFUL
S
She Had a Surprise In Store For
t, m eu un I
HIV Ml 14 1 I WIIW HHt
By HARRIET LUMMIS.
With Miss Mcrrlam tho Incredible
liad happened. Sho was tired of hear
ing thnt she was beautiful. From her
earliest recollections strangers hnd ex
claimed over her pretty face, and her
lovers one nftor another had hung tho
variations on the same theme. Miss
Mcrrlam listened politely and found
herself extremely bored.
"To bo loved for your faco Is like
being loved for your fortune," Miss
Merrlam confided to her Journal.
"Beauty hns wings just as truly as
riches. If n man falls In love with
your complexion, whnt Is ho going to
do when you come down with the
smallpox? If I were a pretty fool I
might be prefectly sntlslled with things
ns they are, but I know I'm worth lov
ing for myself If only they had the
sense to find It out."
Unfortunately for themselves Miss
Merrlnm's adorers never suspected her
peculiar views. If there hnd boon one
of their number shrewd enough to com
pliment her Intellect Instead of her
dimples and to have talked about her
sparkling wit rather than her spar
kling eyes ho would have found the
short cut to her heart. As It was,
they were unanimous In deciding that
tho aforementioned article had been
omitted from her composition. And
Miss Merrlam expressed her displeas
ure In the following paragraph In her
journal: "Beauty, beauty, beauty! now
tiresome It all Is! I wish I might nev
er hear I was beautiful again."
Rash prayers sometimes bring un
welcome answers. Not very many
days later tho city was electrified by
the news that Miss Merrlam hnd been
thrown from her automobile at a well
known wntcrlng place and seriously
injured. Pictures of tho beauty appear
ed In nil tho leading newspapers of
tho country, with reference to her pos
sible disfigurement. Miss Mcrrlam's
relatives when appealed to on this Im
portant point refused to say anything
to relievo the suspense or to satisfy
the popular curiosity. And the expla
nation of their reticence wns npparent
when Miss Merrlam made her appear
ance in society a few weeks later.
Across tho faultless curve of tho girl's
cheek ran an unsightly scar, a scar so
aggressively prominent that It held the
attention of the observer and made
him forgetful of nil else. It seemed
likely that Miss Merrlnm wns to hnve
her heart's desire and never again be
forced to hear that sho wns beautiful:
Lloyd Ilolllster saw her for tho first
time at one of the opening functions
of the season, a few days after his re
turn from abroad. "Notice that girl
over there," a friend said, pulling hl3
sleeve. "Last spring she was the
'beautiful Miss Merrlam,' and see her
now. Hard luck, isn't It?"
Ilolllster looked ns directed. He saw
a small head regally carried, a mass
of dazzling hair and eyes that shot
violet lights from under their arched
brows. Then Miss Merrlam tfirned her
head, and he saw tho scar and nothing
else.
"I'd be sorrier for her," the man at
his elbow went on, "If she hadn't turn
ed down half tho fellows in her set. I
guess she thought she was good for a
duke with that face of hers. Introduce
you, did you say? Why, certainly, my
dear fellow."
It was tho innate chivalry of IIollls
ter's nature which had prompted him
to ask tho honor of Miss Merrlnm's
acquaintance. He wns as sorry for
the girl as he was disgusted with the
cold blooded comments of the man
who had pointed her out to him. For
the first few moments of their conver
sation he unscrupulously kept his eyes
away from her. He could not bear to
witness the beauty In eclipse, and he
fancied that sho who hnd been so used
to reading admiration in tho eyes of
every man must wince at the pity
which tact could not conceal.
Presently he found that admiration
wns getting the better of his sympa
thy. This (luondnm beauty was not
crushed by her misfortune. She met
this thunderbolt of fate's spite with a
gallant courage which quickened Hol
llster's pulses. Her easy gayety, her
apparent unconsciousness of the pa
thos of her situation, appealed to him
as no woman's beauty had over done.
Ho made the discovery that Miss Mer
rlam was brilliant If no longer beauti
ful and that her cleverness, unllko
that of many of her sex, owed noth
ing to 111 nature.
In the months that followed he saw
a great deal of Miss Merrlam. It was
clear that tho girl's liking for social
pleasuro remained unaltered by tho
change In her circumstances. Sho went
everywhere and to all nppearances en
joyed herself In splto of tho sudden
falling off In tho number of her admir
ers. Thero had been a tlmo when tho
man who wished a word with the
beautiful Miss Morriam was obliged to
fight his wny through u double ring of
black coats, but Ilolllster bad no dlffl
culty in gaining her sldo whenever ho
went. Yot tho deposed queen of
hearts seemed so unconscious of any
thing about her which called for eym
pathy that Holllster suppressed hla
pity as If It had been a form of dis
loyalty, and after a time ho no longer
found this difficult. Ho admired Miss
Merrlam too much to bo sorry for her.
In every quality of mind and heart sho

be. As for tho scar, bo looked at it

Instant the gash seemed the mocking
mouth of n demon.
Holllster waited a long tlmo for nn
answer to his question. Miss Mer
rlnm's faco was averted, and ho could
sec that she was stirred by some strong
emotion. When he made a movement
to take her hand she turned toward
him suddenly, nnd ho saw that her
eyes were brimming with tears.
"You are a brave man, Mr. Hollls
ter," sho said In a voice not quite
steady. "Have you thought of this?"
Her fingers touched the scar with a
strange, half caressing gesture. "Have
you thought what It will mean to have
every passerby look at your wife pity
ingly nnd whisper ns you pass?"
"I love you," was Holllster's answer.
"If there is a hard thing in your llfo
it Is my right to share It" Then his
head whirled at tho look of sudden
adoration that leaped from her eyes.
"Oh, I wanted to find n man like
you," Miss Merrlam whispered. "I
was sure there must bo such a one In
tho world." And then she was In his
arms, with the poor, scarred cheek
pressed to him, sobbing out her heart
in a burst of exultant triumph that
enraptured him without his under
standing It In the least.
When they said good night Miss
Mcrrlam clung to her lover ns If re
luctant to let him out of her sight.
"I must see you In the morning, dear
est," she said. "You must spare me a
few moments." Aud Holllster, who
was looking forward to the separation
of a few hours as If It had been as
many weeks, agreed with a sudden
lightness of heart.
Ho wondered a little when he came
next morning that she should keep
him waiting. His heart leaped at ev
ery footstep In tho hall for tho first
half hour, and when nt last sho stole
Into the room, closing tho door behind
her, she took him by surprise, IIol
Hster sprang to his feet, then stood
staring blankly.
An enchanting face smiled up at him,
a face rosy with blushes. He saw tho
play of the dimples and the curve of
the cheek as if he were looking on it
for the first time. Tho scar was gone.
"My!" said Holllster helplessly, and
ho dropped into a chair, his own face
dead pale. Miss Merrlam ran to him
and dropped on her knees beside his
chair, looking Into his eyes with a fas
cinating mixture of timidity nnd con
fidence. "Forgive me, dearest. Don't be nn-
gry with me for deceiving you. If you
only knew how tired I grew of men
who couldn't see anything In me to
lovo but my pretty face! That Httlo
accident with my nutomoblle was too
good an opportunity to miss, and the
scar was easily put on. An actress
showed me how to do it, but I flatter
myself that after a Httlo I improved
upon my teacher."
She smiled at Holllster shyly and did
not seem to find his sllenco discourag
ing. "Please don't say you like mo
better tho other way. I almost grew
to hate my beauty when It blinded
people to all tho rest In me, but now
I'm glad to have It to give to tho man
who loved me for myself."
Several complexion specialists claim
ed tho credit for removing the scar
that had ruined Miss Mcrrlam's beau
ty and reaped golden hnrvests thereby
Hut tho beautiful Miss Merrlam never
regained her title for tho reason that
her Identity was soon merged in that
of the beautiful Mrs. Ilolllster.
A Gigantic Goddess of War.
In the Japanese capital there is a
gigantic linage of a woman mado of
wood. Iron and plaster. Tho time of
its erection aud tho name of Its de
signer nro in dispute, but It Is known
to have been dedicated to Hachlraan,
the god of war. In height It measures
fifty-four feet, tho head alone, which
is reached by a winding stairway in
tho Interior of the figure, being capa
bio of holding a company of twenty
persons. The goddess holds a sword
in her right hand and a huge painted
wooden ball In tho left. Internally
the statue is the finest anatomical
model In existence, every bone, Joint
and Hgnmcnt being represented on a
gigantic scalo in proportion to tho
height and general slzo of tho huge
flguro Itself. Tho largo eyes aro mag
nifying-glasses, through which a fine
view of tho surrounding country may

EXTENSION PIANO STOOL.
Ca:i Be Made to Accommodate Two
When Duet Is In Order.
A plnno stool that can he mnde
sit glo or double, lb tho requirements
mry be, has been designed by nn Illi
nois man. It resembles the ordi
nary single stool, but when duets
arc to be played It can bo extended to
accommodate two people. The seat
13 mado in two parts, one folding on
the other. The sides of the seat are
detachable and when It Is desired to
extend tho stool two opposite side3
aro let down and the scat opened up
like a book and slid over to a point
which brings the support In the cen
tre of the double seat where the
weight may bo evenly distributed.
Heretofore tho only way to provide
for duets without having extra stool
was to have a bench that would
accommodate two players, as chairs
of the proper height are not always at
hand. Some musicians prefer a sin
gle stool to a bench, nnd with the In
vention here described it Is possible
to suit all concerned.
