THREE FRIENDS.
Two friends there, with the dark on their
faces,
Dreaming the dark away;
One left lonely, in lonesome places.
This side the judgment day.
Three friends Btood where the lilewny
parted
There, on the verge of years;
On was left with the brokenhearted.
Deep in the night of tears.
Memory now like a ghost is flitting
Here whpre the shadows throng;
Three friends at a fireside sitting;
6ilence and never song.
Three friends still! T!ut the world
will never
Bloom willi the old time light;
I go where they dream in the dark forever,
tilad to siiy, "Hood-night! " ,

THE GOOD RESOLUTION.
By A. G. Greenwood.
"Do tell me what you are doing!"
t ejaculated as I went Into the draw,
lng room.
Lady Gwen stretched out a lazy
liand. "I'm awfully busy," she
framed me.
"Never mind," I returned easily.
Perhaps I can help you."
I She laughed and shook her head.
' "I'm afraid you couldn't, Mr.
C$ray," she remarked, nibbling at the
top of her pencil.
"It used to be Bob sometimes,"
X reminded her.
"Very very seldom!" she ex
claimed Indignantly.
, "When I was good," 1 pleaded.
"When I was foolish," laughed
Lady Gwen cruelly.
"Then Mr. Gray be It," I sighed.
"And I suppose I mayn't call you
Gwen?"
"Oh, no," she said quickly.
She took up the slip of paper which
she had been scribbling on as I came
In and stared at It. "Of course you
mustn't," she added severely.
"May I know what crime I've com
mitted?" I asked humbly.
"Tou haven't committed any," she
protested, and added a qualifying
"that I know of" as an afterthought.
"But I'm to be punished all the
same?" I queried dismally.
"What nonsense we're talking,"
cried Lady Gwen severely.
"I like It best," I acknowledged.
"Life Isn't all fooling," she told
me severely.
"And It isn't or It oughtn't to be
fc all sour," I retorted. "I think you
might tell me."
"You haven't done an3thlng," she
persisted. "It's me."
"Your grammar emphasizes your
fault," I observed, "but I'm still In
the dark."
"I told you," she argued, "life's a
lerious problem."
"Well?" I ejaculated foolishly.
"Well?" she echoed. "Well? I
want to remember it," Bhe concluded
lamely.
"Gwen, ' I burst out, "I
! "Please," she reminded me.
"I believe I know," I said, sitting
fcolt upright In my chair; "you're
making good resolutions."
"I am," she acknowledged de
lantly. "Heavens!" I groaned.
"And I mean to keep 'em," quoth
Lady Gwen with the air of a judge.
"Oh, you're obstinate enough for
anything," I retaliated.
"I'm not," she cried Indignantly;
"I'm only firm."
"And so that beastly scrap of
paper holds the rules of your life for
i year?" I asked viciously.
"For a lifetime," she answered
without a smile.
"Oh lord!" was my vulgar and des
pairing outburst.
There was a long pause. "You
really mean to keep them, Gwen?"
I asked at last.
"I do, Mr. Gray," she answered.
"I know I'm Mr. Gray," I laughed,
"you needn't "
"It's no laughing matter," she re
plied without the ghost of a smile.
"And and If you were at all decent
you'd help me."
"I'll do my best," I muttered
meekly.
"Then don't call me Gwen.'
"Right."
I lit a cigarette and smoked it In
melancholy silence.
"If I'm to help you I must see the
paper," I suggested moodily.
. "Oh, no," she answered quickly.
. "Then how can I?"
I'll tell you," she promised me,
"I I well, you see, Mr. Gray "
"Never mind about Mr. Gray, go
on, i commanded.
"I I've been rather rather "
She hesitated and blushed.
"I believe I know," I Interpolated
" flirt."
"Yes," she said eagerly. "Not
really one, you know, but "
'You have been," I agreed, waving
side the end of her sentence.
"There's no doubt about that."
"You're very unkind," she pro
tested. "And the resolution was?"
. "Not to be," she muttered, scrib
Uing on the paper. .
"I see." 1
The silence fell again. Presently
I Jerked my cigarette end Into the
Are."
"Gwen," I said, g6UIng up. "It's
fc It's been a ripping year. I sever
enjoyed a Derby, an Eton and Har
row, a Goodwood, or a Cowes, so
much before."
"The weather's been so ' lovely,"
be prevaricated.
I treated the remark with con
tempt.. "D'you know whyf'-I- asked
ker.
"No," ibViaid. "Bat I'm." '
"I'll tell you," I Interrupted, sit
ting down on the sofa beside her.
"Because I was with you."
"It's very good of you to say so,
Mr. Gray," she said politely. "I hope
next year "
"They'll all be different," I said
sourly. "All different and spoiled."
"Why, does 'Old Moore' say It'll be
wet?" she asked, dogearing the piece
of paper.
"It's only New Year's Eve, Gwen,"
I muttered. "The new resolutions
don't don't start till to-morrow."
Lady Gwen shook her head. "I'm
In earnest, Mr. Gray."
"And nothing I can say will alter
you?"
"Nothing," she said with an air of
finality.
There was a long pause before I
propounded a conumdrum.
"Cnn a woman flirt with her hus
band?" I asked.
"Of course not,"scoffed Lady Gwen
unguardedly.
"I see, Gwen; I'll never go to the
Derby again."
"Why not?" she queried, staring
at me.
"Nor Ascot, nor Henley; no, not
even the Academy," I cried. "You've
spoiled my life, Gwen."
"I, Mr. Gray?"
"Yes, you," I said, savagely. "I
was looking forward to another hap
py year. Then to-day, at its very
close the happiest year In all my
life"
"You're only twenty-eight," put In
Lady Gwen.
"I know," I cried, "and I may live
to be ninety. Sixty-two more Derbys,
sixty-two more "
"I can't make you an exception,"
she said, laughing.
"If you've got a heart you would,"
I said, angrily. "No woman's got the
right to have a beastly whim "
"Mr. Gray!"
"So It is a beastly whim. Just
because you're tired of me "
"You're very unkind," she mut
tered, frowning, "and you aren't try
ing to help one a bit."
"I am," I protested, "but two
blacks will never make a white.
You're doing wrong, you're selfish "
"Please," she begged.
"No, I won't stop," I cried, Indig
nantly. "It's" all your own fault.
You've brought It all upon yourself.
I haven't a spark of sympathy for
you. If you keep your resolution
you'll be unkind to me. Unkind!
What a word! You'll be simply driv
ing me to the deuce."
"You're not helping me," she cried
again.
"I am. I'm trying to think out a
way. Give me the paper, Gwen. In
the dim ages I read for the bar; I
might possibly be able to find some
way out of the ImpasBe."
Gwen looked at me doubtfully,
"Promise you won't laugh," Bhe con
ditioned, "promise you you won't
bring It up against me afterwards."
"Of course I won't," I assured her.
"I'm Blmply your counsel In this mat
ter." Slowly she surrendered the scrap
of paper. I unrolled it.
" 'Good resolutions,' It Is headed,"
I read aloud. " 'Number one, not to
flirt any more with Bob.' Gwen!"
She blushed and dropped her eyes
to her lap.
"I told you I couldn't get out of
It," she said In a low voice.
For a moment I pondered. "But,
Gwen!" I cried suddenly, "you you
said you couldn't flirt with a hus
band." "I know, but"
"Don't you see, Bob would
would merge, as the lawyers say.
Your marriage to me would repeal
number one."
Gwen looked at me, a smile on her
flushed cheeks and in her bright eyes.
"It's the only way, Gwen," I told
her, exultingly.
"But but then number one will
mean nothing," she faltered, dimp
ling. "It will," I said sternly. "Any
Judge and I'm the Judge In future
would read that clause to mean
'not to flirt at all.' "
"Would he?" she murmured.
I kissed her suddenly. "Be very
careful, Gwen," I said sternly. "Num
ber one has got to be kept."
Up to now I can safely say It has
been. The Tatler.
Doctor Lost nis Coat Tails.
Dr. A. R. Conrad, with his wife,
has been for several days in St.
Louis attending the meetings at the
Coliseum. Sunday evening Dr. and
Mrs. Conrad found themselves shut
out. Flourishing around In the crowd
to get near, Dr. Conrad suddenly
found to his chagrin that the long
coat tails of his overcoat were fast
ened in the door when the door had
closed. In vain he called, In vain be
begged. No usher heard him.
The Imprisonment was not com
fortable, to be standing on the top of
a narrow step In the cold with one's
coat tails held in a vise. The physi
cian resolved to make a surrender;
he whipped out his pocket knife and
severed the tails from the coat, and
he and Mrs. Conrad then went home
to their host's house. To-day Dr.
Conrad 1b busy at a tailor's, or, as
he wittily puts It, "at a retailer's."
