Also no woman Jury would lay much stress on the heart Injuries that can be cured by a poultice of the long green. Such hurts to the heart are not real breaks, they are only superficial cracks.

This) pity for beauty in distress does honor to the Jury's heart, but not Its head. Moreover, It Is not Justice, for a woman capable of bringing a breach of promise suit is perfectly able to take care of herself In love affairs or any business deal. The breach of promise suit nuisance should be abated. It puts the weapon of the blackmailer in the handa of every unprincipled woman.

At the sue of 1H she is suddenly thrust Into the world where agunta or the Interests are ready to pretend to find her. The one to teel the loss of the little Amesbury girl most, atter she bad been spirited away by the Interests, was Tommy Barclay. Fifteen years later Tommy goes to the Adirondack". The Interests are responsi ble for the trip. By accident he is the first to meet the little Ameabury girl, as she comes forth from her paradise as Celestiu the girl from heaven. Neither Tommy nor Celestia recosnlzes each other. Tommy flnda it an easy matter to rescue Celestia from Prof. Stllllter and they hide in the mountains; later they are pursued by BUUlter and escape to an island where they spend the night. That night, Stllllter. following his In dian guide, reaches the Island, found Celeatia and Tommy, but did not disturb them In the morning Tommy goes for a swim.

Htllllter reaches Four Corners with Celestia 1uat In time to catoh an express for New York, there he places Celestia In Bellevue hospital, where her ssnlty is proven by the authorities. Tommy reaches Bellevue Just before Btil Uter's departure. Tommy's first aim was to get Celestia away from Bt'.lllter. After they leave Bellevue Tommy la unsble to get any hotel to take Celestia In owing to her costume. Hut later he persuades his lather to keep her. When he goes out to the taxi he finds her gone. She falls Into the hands of white slavers, but escapes and goes to live with a poor fam ily by the name of Douglas.

Celestia secures work In a largo gar ment factory, where a great many girls are employed. Here she shows her pe culiar power, and makes friends with sll her girl companions, iiy her talks to the girls she Is able to calm a threatened atrike, and the "boss" overhearing her Is moved to grant the relief the girls wished, and also to right a greet wrong he had done one of them. Just at this point the factory catches on fire, find the work room is soon a biasing furnace. Celestia refuses to escape with the other girls, and Tommy Barclay rushes In and car ries her out, wrapped In a big roll of cloth. . BEVEXTII EPISODE. "But you don't, and you don'l believe In her crusade. What Is her Idea the usual thing? To destroy all existing conditions, lump the tntney, divide up, ano begin all over again?" "No," said Tommy, laughing. "That's what you think my Idea is. Celestia Isn't for destroying large fortunes (In deed some of them might become even more swollen if her doctrines became law). She believes that there is enough aeath In the country to make all the In habitants clean and comfortable if we oould do away with tha waste of money; if In other words the United States were run to make money Instead of to spend It. Passible, Isn't it? And absurd." "Why absurd? I have, no quarrel with her theory." "Of course not. You'd be one who would Lave to profit by It willy nllly."

"If at your age," said Barclay, "I had found myself seriously In love with a girl In her station of life I should have had pity on her." "You haven't understood. I wish iu marry her." "I understood perfectly. But your friends are not going to recognize her as tholr equal. You can never feel upon terms of real equality with her associ ates." "We should have each other." Barclay laughed harshly. "Have you any Idea how long the line of the average young couple is sufficient to Itself? Hate, Jealousy, greed those are enduring passions, but love has al most as much constitution as an orchid." "There are exceptions." "You have no right to try to prove that at the sxpenaa of someone you think you love, or at the expense of someone who for many years has been endurlngly fond of you." He smiled very kindly. "Yourself, sir!" "Myself. Better go away, Tommy. It will hurt, but not for long. Why not take a few friends for a cruise. I'll send you round the world. If you like.

She seems to be doing good In the world. Few are. You don't want to spoil her life." "Oh, It's no use arguing," said Tommy, rising, "I must marry her if she will have me. Even If I thought It wrong and unfair, I am no longer a free agent." Barclay shook Ms head. "How will you support her?" "Why-" Barclay was still smiling. "You've had a great deal of money to spend. What have you saved?" "I'm not a mouse," aald Tommy, "and you are not a cat . You are cutting me off, because you honestly think It will be for my good. Well, Ood knows I don't know how to make a living, but I can try." "Whenever you change your mind about Celestia, or give me a definite j promise that you will not try to marry !her, I shall be mora than alad to put you once more upon your old footing." - "Well," said Tommy, "we've had a good many differences of opinion, but we've never quarreled, have we?" He held out his hand. "My hat off," aald Barclay, "to the beat sportsman I have ever known." But In his heart ha thought that Tommy would very soon tire of earning a living, and his word went forth to the effect that he would not look with approval on any Institution which should offer salaried employment to Thomas Steele. And from one Institution to snother this word spread like rumor. But Tommy did not at once look for employment.

There haa been a beautiful picture shown to the eye at one of the New York theaters. It is a charity benefit for little homeless children. The curtain went u d and re vealed three 1 ex quisite young girls in- the morning of life, dressed In clasalc flowing robes of white, seated . at three golden harps. The stage setting back of them repre sented a fair road, winding up a ma jestic mountain side. While the eye was dazzled and delighted with the radiant picture the ear was next , mm enchanted with the heavenly strains of the "Angel's Seren ade." played by the three young glrla on the three harps, aitompenled by one of them, who sang the air in a voice of rare sweetness. The memory of this beautiful picture occupied the mind of the writer of this articlo when a friend said, "Come with m to the hospilal. I want you to sea some nf the people In whom I am in terested there." The first people to lie seen were those In the nervous ward, men and women who, from various ca.iaes. were on the point of nervous prostration or more sorlous malady, and who had been sent by their friends or relatives to be studied by the physicians In charge. After their cases were de cided upon they would be sent away to other Institutions for further treatment. A brief time In these wards under the direction of the leading physician Is con vincing proof of the vast need In the land of further development along eugtn leal lines. A large percentage of the patients who come Into these wards for examination can trace their troubles bark to bad Inheritance. The sins of the fathers and the mothers' have developed paresis. Insanity and epilepsy In the chil dren.' Alcoholism and sexual immoral ity, nicotine and drugs, all these have helped produce the wretched crop of human belnga who are found In the neurotic wards of our institutions. After visiting these wsrds the physlclun said. "Now do you want to see the 'dope' victims? They rmiy Interest you " So we proceeded to the drug ward.

The doc. tor questioned him for the benefit of the visitors regarding his case. "How long did you use the drug?" he asked, and "What caused you to begin the habit?" "It was something over s year ago,'' the man replied. "I was a professional In the world of sports. A man told me I would have rvery much more speed and skill If I took heroin, so I took it and for a little time what the man said seemed to be true. Then I began to go down, until 1 landed here. Now, thank God, I am cured or the habit and shall never go back to It." The other men In the room were the color of clny, devoid of all animation and virility of expression.

It is well to have laws, stringent and severe, for the pnnlshment of all the monsters . who sell drugs to their fellow beings, or who Induce them to begin the habit; but that Is only deal ing with the habit after It Is acquired. More important than this la the awaken ing of the minds of parents, teachers and friends to the danger whl"h threatens the youth of tha land. Youths and girls aie frequently in the grasp of this octopus, while the parents are wholly unuonsclous of the situation In fact, unconscious that such a drug as herein exists in the world.

A Fictionless Fable Being; About the Ideal Marriage Hr ANN LISLE. There were once two brothers who had reached manhood s eatate and felt It was time to take unto themselves wives. One had theories about marriage and the other was In love with a woman. Said the theorist: "Opposltes attract. 1 being n tall, slender blond, shall marry a short, plump brunette. That will be well from the enprenlc point of view, and be sides, we will afford a pleasing contrast lo the eye of the beholder. I am fond of art. mtiMc and home life, so I shall wed woman who likes outdoor sports, books and travel. That will give ua a wide field of Interests. I am phlegmatic and Indifferent, ao I shall marry a woman a ho la excitable and high etrung. Then we will stlmulste each other." Said the lover: "I love my sweetheart partly because she Is dear to me and partly because the same things are dear to each of us. We enjoy each other's pet enjoyments. We are outwardly a bit alike, too 1 nave heard people Bay we look almost as if we might be brother and rlster but we are more than a 'bit' alike In tho mental traits. We like the samo people. I like a great many of the characteristics In her I hsvs always ad mired In myself. Phe Is Just enough shorter than I to reach my heart, and she Is Just enough plumper to be femi ninely alluring. We don't clash on opinions and we don't offer enough phys ical contrast to attract the attention ef others but w do attract each other." So the theorist married his opposite and the lover married his counterpart. And thla la what happened: Ths op posltes sttracted each other but not for long! The little brunette came to realize that her tall, thin blonde husband made her look dark and chunky by con trast, and she hated to be seen out with him. He, on the other hand, found that a volume of poetry could not offer him solace for the concerts to which his wife would not accompany him. And a wife on the golf links Is not worth two on the hearth rug. Nor doea ability to row a boat presuppose a talent for steering the mutrlmnnlal craft. And a tall, thin hus band tines not feel the same urge to take cross-country walks with his "tub of a wife" that a fiance knows about romantio strolling with his dear little "pleasingly plump" sweetheart. So tho theorist and his wife went their various ways he with long, lackadaisical strides roamed after a popular singer who could manage a chafing dish very well. And she, with perky nervousness, betook herself to a divorce court. For. In the end, opposltes attract their likes! And the lover and his wife went plod ding along. She loved his sleek dark hair, and he adored the wave In her dusky tresses. And she thought his ruddy complexion ths perfection of brunette splendor while hs loved the clear olive of her cheeks. She oould Just reach his heart, so he stooped down often to make It easier for her. They were ao alike that they understood each other admirably. And yet being two separata humans, they knew the Impenetrable solitude that every one has to suffer. Only It was easy to bridge differences with under standing. If he grew tired of Schopen hauer and wanted to read Oulda, she could understand that, for did not she often weary of grand opera scores and long to hear oniy fox-trots. And every one aald.
