o'clock a young man stood on the

looked as if it was made out of the
covering on the old lounge that stood
in the sitting room 25 years ago and
he had a scarlet feather sticking out of a dinky little velvet hat. By his side in his gloveless hand he held a leather-hinged wooden trunk with a
rope handle and plastered with steer

YOU kndw when business is dull it
is mighty good policy to advertise
and let the thrifty public know that
you have some bargains.
Would you ever In the world think
Of teasing your friend of your brother or sister or husband to give you some money or some precious
possession which had been entrusted to his keeping?
"No, of course not," you say. "What
silly question."
Perhaps it is. But wait a moment. Did you ever
tease your friend or your brother or sister or husband to tell you some
thing which had been told him in
confidence; in other words, give away
to you something which had been told
him in confidence; In other words, give
away to you something which had been
entrusted to his keeping?
Can you give as emphatic a negative
to that?
I doubt it.
And yet is there so great a difference
between the two.
Of course, there Is the chance that
the confidence might be a good deal more precious than money or any ma
terial possession to the one who gave
It. But the principle, I think, is just the same.
And yet I know but few people who
have a fine sense of honor about this
thing.
I know a woman who boasts that her
husband tells her everything that is
told him even if It Is in confidence. "Me has to," she says, "because If he doesn't
1 don't give him any peace."
What a boast! -Myself, I should think she had more
reason for stiame than for vain glorying. - . t
I know an engaged girl who quar
reled with her fiance and broke the
engagement because he would not tell her something which she thought' he
ought. The something was a confidence given him by a very old friend who unfortunately happened to be a woman. , " , To be sure, I don't know all the circumstances of the case, but I am much inclined to think that he is well rid of a wife whowould beseech him to be dishonorable;1 and who was not capable of realizing that he could not love her so well. "loved he not honor more." 1 suppose someone will remind me tnat a husband should not accept a confidence which he cannot share with the other half of him. Perhaps not. But the question whether he should accept the confidence is ons thing, and the question whether he should betray
It after having accepted It, is quite another. And as to the first question for my part I cannot see why it should prejudice the happiness of a couple it either husband or wife knows something that he cannot tell the other provided, of course, that the knowledge Is not anything woich for some particular reason ought to be shared. To urge any one to betray a confidence Is to Insult him.
V To accept a betrayed confidence Is
to accept stolen goods. To betray, a confidence is not only to dlshonot yourself but to lower yourself in the eyes of him to whom you betray it. ,, And yet none but the most honorable scruple to ask others to betray confidences. . What a tremendous motive power curiosity is: RUTH CAMERON.
