The quarrel hud been silly enough. it was over the matter of decorating the canoe that together they had planned to enter for the boat club regatta that night. Lenore had insisted upon pink lights in crepe paper rosebuds, and Bob had wanted a blue tarlatan mist effect with Lenore at the stern as Maid of tile Mist. Lenore laid stumped her foot in fury as Boh showed no inclination to yield to her wishes. In the next moment she had Hung his ring back at him and her engagement was broken.

tile grounded canoe and finally drew it completely off from the shore. it was tlie empty canoe that Bob met on Ids way up the river. After beaching the empty canoe Bob's first impulse was to leave Lenore to tier own devices. She had surprised him with her til of anger and he hud not reconciled this hlazingly angry Amazon with the loving and lovable companion he had pictured her. But the strength of a kind of habit of doing things for Lenore made him reluctantly decide to go to her rescue. Bob did not hurry. He dawdled along, exerting himself ju*t enough to make a slow progress against the current until lie came to tlie island where Lenore slept. He saw traces of the keel of the lanthe and recognized, with a quick thrill, the white slipper iu tlie

mud.

Suddenly, through tlie opening in the bushes, he saw Lenore sleeping peacefully on tile knoll, with her lovely hair spread about her. As Bob watched her he forgot tlie petty quarrel, the angry departure: he forgot his surprise and his own sudden anger, and lie knew then, as lie hud never known before, how much this girl meant to him and to his whole life. tin tlie opiwsite side of the narrow island lie moored his canoe and waited. When the full yellow moon loomed *ver tlie black wall of pines Lenore opened her eyes. Kememherlng the events of the afternoon, she sprang to .ier feet, and in the semi-darkness leaned over to pick her stioe out of the uiud. Then she uttered a sharp cry. Her canoe wa“ not there. Tall and slender In tlie light of the aioon. Lenore stood irresolutely on the edge of the island. The mist enshrouded her tigure and seemed to ateh and hold tlie moonlight In a hazy aura around the glory of her flowing hair. Her anger was gone, she was idled with a deep regret that she had quarreled so foolishly with Bob. Probably lie was now at the regatta witli>ut her. some other girl playing tlie .naid in Ids blue tarlatan mist. “Maid of tin- Mist," she cried sud denly. with a sob at the end. “Oh. Hob, if you were only here to see me yot; would know that 1 am your Maid of tlie Mist!’’ “Are you, my darling*'” Bob stepped out of tlie hushes and clasped her in his arms. “Are you. and will you lie my own dear Mist Maid?" Tin* Maid of the Mist did not enter tlie regatta, for long after tlie prizes were awarded a man and a girl in an tuidecorated canoe slipped down out of the darkness to the boat dub and. ultlioiigh for a moment they looked down at the ga.i ennoes on tlie river, they saw Mtil\ the light in each other’s eyes.

Nest ling against the marshy shore, the lake lay. like a mirror. It was a beautiful spot and the man with the , iron gray hair conceded it; but his object in coining was not to view the scenery. The object was a girl, and she sat higli on a log fence and disdained him. As he parked his car close to the edge of tlie water she continued busily counting tlie •ticiies of her knitting; her own small car stood conveniently near on tlie green. "Beautifu! evening,' she remarked, pleasantly. "I»on't you like the way the sun turns the water to goldV The man frow ned. “1 don't like." he said angrily, “the way you go roaming about the country alone. TbLs Is the third evening you have been absent from dinner. I asked Tilly about it and she told me that you had ordered an early luncheon and gone out in your *ar. So I deliberately followed—to find you here. This is all very much against my wishes. You know and still disobey." The girl folded her knitting and. chin in hand, looked thoughtfully out over the reflecting waters. "It is time," she answered decidedly, "that 1 do disobey. Else I shall continue the life of a prisoner. For I have been a prisoner, father, in your house all my life, with neither wish nor freedom of his ow n. If mother had lived 1 am sure it would have been different. I am past the age of guardianship. I want to learn something of life—and love. Father"—the blue eyes challenged him—"do you know anything about love?' - ’ The man laughed shortly. "So that is it,” he said. "You go riding around alone each evening lu search of romance—of lo\e. Have you found it?” 'Flic girl nodded gravely. “I have." she replied, “though 1 did not seek it. I came here first to be away from you and your sternness. He came along one evening on the way to his little fishing boat, which was tied along shore. Sometime*." the girl explained. naively, “they tish all night in these waters. And something had gone wrong with my car. so the young man stopped and fixed it. It was a great deal of trouble, but he did not mind; lie smiled.” The girl regarded her father calmly. “I loved him," she said, “in that moment.” The man jumped from hi* car, furious with anger, and strode to the spot where she sat. "Natalie,” he cried, threateningly, hut she eluded him and, slipping from her post on the top of the fence, ran lightly as some slim boy down the narrow path of the shore. Helplessly, her father watched her. She was like come woodland maid in tier gracefulness. Far against the sky, it seemed, she waited, until presently a Muall boot floated inward. The fattier could see a man's tall figure. two strong hared arms reached out to grasp her. then the two sat sll-houette-llke against the sinking sun. Khe, his daughter, had defied him for a fisherman. Tht gray-haired man smiled contemptuously, then pityingly. The scene was like one from the movies—the crude shacks along the shore, that dark-haired Apollo out in fhe brightly reflected boat, close, very close to the girl. Even here, he could see Natalie lean to him, bend her witching face to look up into the face of tlie fisherman. “Did he know anything of love?" John Burrows asked himself her question. He had thought that he knew love years ago. until Natalie's mot tier confessed to him, after marriage, that she had given herself to him because of his money and achievements. The man she had loved was forbidden her because of his humbleness. So John Burrows, in their mutual disappointment, determined as Natalie grew that she should know nothing of love or its heartaches. John Burrows arose and then followed down the green trodden path. All this was unbelievable. He would see tills fellow and force him In ids ffSkce. 'Hie small boat was Just touching ^liore. The fisherman tossed out his string of gleaming fish before he reached very tenderly for Natalie. Even in the dusk her father realized that tenderness. The man was big. and good to look upon. John Burrows saw Ids flashing smile. The young man swung sharply about. "Why, Burrows,” he cried, “so you came out to look the place over. I’ll tie with you In a minute. 1 have been practically camping here while I mapped out our Job. Now the thing is complete. Take you into my shack in a minute and show you. Natalie—” The young man paused In helpless confusion. The girl's arm slipped through her father’s. “He doesn’t know how to introduce me," she explained joyously. "You see. 1 thought It would be nice for he and I to take each other on trust for awhile Just to prove tlie truth of our love. This." she explained to tier lover, “is my father." John Burrows grasped the young man’s hand. “Why, Natalie,” he exclaimed, in v*si relief, “I know of no person I ivould rather have you meet than Neil Gordon. He is our most valued engineer. Why. it was he who. almost single-handed, put through the Mg project of the Hanover fisheries bridge!” Natalie folded away tier knitting, her free artn crept through her lover’s. "Is that so?" she asked with polite hut unmoved interest.

tk l»»l. Sr McCiur« N*wapM>«r flyadlcau. For two weeks the atmosphere In I the Davis home had been charged | W jth a mysterious excitement which was new to that household. Allyn hud never known hie wife Margie lo keep from him a secret. He was becoming suspicious of her behavior. Seveial tones tlie telephone had rung and he hud hastened to answer it, only to hear the same voice each time say, "Guess I have the wrong number," and shut off immediately. Twite when he had arrived home earlier than usual he had heard his wife answering Hie telephone. Vpou discovering that he was iu the next ro4m she had hurriedly left the telephone and had added to his suspicion* by blushing em-

barrassedly

One morning when Margie had gone to town Allyn had been obliged to return to his home for some important paper*. He saw on the table In the reception room not less than a dozen letters all addressed to his wife, but not as her mail always read. These had been sent to “Miss Margie Gray

Davis.”

Allyn instantly decided to watch her. He would confide in no one. That night when Margie returned from town she wondered what in the world had happened to Allyn that he should be so talkative. He had always been a dignified, stern man. preoccupied with thoughts of business, but kind to her even in his busiest moments. Allyn was practical and never hesitated to say so. At the same time he was sensitive because of his lack of aesthetic culture, which was so highly developed In Margie. "Have you been lucky today, dear?” Margie asked. Allyn had been so carelessly tender and so effusive that she had decided that he must have had a stroke of good luck. “Oh, no:" he assured her, “only our regular business.” A* they left the table he watched her narrowly as she hurried to the reception room to get the mail. She tore open excitedly one envelope after another, and with each one her disappointment was reflected on her face. With the last one came a gasp. As he hurried to her side she slipped it into the pocket of her dress and slid tiie others behind a howl of roses on the table. For three months conditions did not change. Always Margie was hiding something. Always Allyn was suspicious but carefully concealing his feelings by his attentions to her wishes, yet keeping watch of her. Finally at the end of three months Margie, radiantly happy, blew into his office with the first fall of snow, and flourishing a magazine before bis eyes, exclaimed : ‘Tve made the Atlanta I" “Atlanta?" inquired Allyn. “Tee. the Atlanta. Now, what do you think of your wife? I am in the contributor*’ column. Read what a puff I have.' 1 she *ald. passing the bewildered Allyn the magazine. “And It's all because I have written a son-

net.”

“Sonnet ?” exclaimed Allyn. “Do you mean to tell me that you have been spending your time writing fool verse?” Margie's heart turned a trick or Iwo, a. k it had a way of doing when she wa» happy. But she was too near heaven for anything which Allyn might say to possibly bring her down to his practical plane of life. “Of course I have, you dear old thing. I’ve been writing for months. I received my first check three month* ago. It seemed too good to be true, so I decided to wait until the sonnet was published before telling you. But now it's really In the Atlanta. Isn’t It glorious?" For a week Margie talked of nothing but the sonnet, until Allyn was desperate. She repeated the word* over and over; she talked about what Hha was going to do with future son-

net*.

At last Allyn could stand it no longer. He would go to New York for a week. But he did not ask Margie to go with him, as he always had done. He packed his bag and bade her good-by. When he retired that night at the hotel In New York, he opened his hag and pulled out his pajamas. Something rattled like paper. As he turned off the light he said, “Now for a peace tul sleep. No sonnet!” A* he turned on his left side he felt something stiff against his heart. Feeling in his pocket and turning on tlie light, he fonnd a sheet of violet paper neatly folded. Opening It, he

read:

“SONNET"

by

Margie Gray Davis. And across the page was penciled: “Come back soon, dear. I ahull miss you. "Do read the sonnet carefully." “Well, I’ll lie hanged," he ex claimed. Tlie next morning Margie received a long telegram. It was her sonnet, word for word; but another line had been added by Allyn: "I’m waiting for you, Margie. Come at once.” Margie had often wondered If the Joke could have been on her. The meter and the rhyme were perfect.

The practice was a breach of traffic laws anti polite regulations, but it was winked at hr a matter of necessity, because tbe proprietors of the underground railways. electric cars and omnibuses were apparently unable to find the labor or provide the vehicles that might have kept their systems in operation under ordinary conditions. Now, tbe war having been officially declared at an end, tlie London commissioner of police lias decided that the time has come to re enforce tbe regulations for tbe public comfort. Each passenger shall have a seat. None shall stand in vestibule or on platform. Any conductor admitting more persons than the vehicle is licensed to carry will tie prosecuted and fined.

VARIOUS TONGUES IN BAGDAD Pupils at Jew*’ School Are Taught Engh»h. French, Arabic and Pertian Languages. Most of tlie public scribes In Bagdad were either Armenians or Jews, both of whom are natural linguists. Many that 1 ran across near As Serai mosque and iu Zazitn Pasha street, close to the government buildings and the law courts, knew at least a half dozen languages, writes Roland Gorbold, In Asia. It Is not difficult to acquire that number In Bagdad Itself. When I visited tile Jews’ school, the masters put their pupils through their paces by having them recite their lessons in English, French. Arabic and Persian. French has been much used in the city for social and even business purposes. The tickets to the German Bagdad railway were printed in Arabic and French—not German. With the advent of the British expeditionary force, signs in English as well as French began to appear over the shops In New street. I laughed at some of these absurd legends and sighed over them too. They were as incongruous as the cinema houses and the watering cart labeled "Bagdad Municipality.” 1 never really liked New street. Though It was a necessary and admirable achievement, it did not appeal to the imagination.

Water at 30 Canta a Gallon. At row ramp, the dryest point on Ihe Silver Peak range, near Tonop&h, Nev., water isn’t quite up to the price of liquor, but It is almost there. They are paying 30 cents a gallon for it, and residents agree that It i* cheap at tbe price. There isn’t any competition. Tlie water man bn* a monopoly and uo one envies him hi* Job. The nearest w atering place is eleven miles away. For five miles tlie water Is carried In a burkboard drawn by horses. Then the road narrow* to a trail and horses are unhitched, the water hags tied over their hacks and the remainder of tlie trip is slow. It takes about a day to make the trip. In the old days, when saloons quenched thirst*, there wasn't the demand for water that there is now.

Analyzing a London Fog. At the recent conference of the British Royal Sanitary Institute Dr. J. 8. Owens. In an analysis of a London fog, said ibat to reproduce a dense smoke fog about four milligrams of •oot to the cubic meter of air was all that wa* required. One milligram produced the ordinary winter haze. If a dense smoke extended over the whole of London and up to a height of 400 feet a trifle under 200 tons of soot would tie present. The domestic fires of London from six in the morning till nine at night produced over 200 tons of soot, sufficient to produce one of the densest fogs.

Trees Know Winter. The great buds of the horse-chest-nut have a most elaborate arrangement for the winter protection of the delicate parts within, says the Amerlcan Forestry Magazine. The baby flower cluster is covered by the downy growth of the undeveloped leaves. The latter are surrounded by the tough hard scales and these are varnished over to keep out tbe water.
