Clauson stepped from Ids roadster
imil held out Ills hunil (o Miss Kick
mih. Mut with ii liiiml on cither side
of thi opening she swung herself
down, hunted softly, gave him a
warm hnrd llltlo fist nnd n thnnk you
nlmost gruff, and was up the stops of
her hoarding house. The house Itself
looked as If It had measles and CInu
hon drove off thinking what n fright
fill life Miss lttckson lived; his ste
nographer liy day nnd a tenant of a
senrred-lnoklng boarding house by
night. And what a brick she was
brown, rosy, businesslike little brick.
A woman, too. Eyes that were deep
with what could be tenderness. . . .
"None of thnt," said Clnuson, nnd
turned Into his own street.
He iit up his ear, walked the half
block to his apartment and while he
waited for the elevator, the thought
which he Imd kept In the background
abruptly enveloped him, seemed to
rush at him from outside: Suppose
Miss Itlckson were waiting for him
tip In fourth-floor front. Komance of
a sweetness almost forgotten might
be possible with Miss Klcksnn. . . .
He hurried down the tiled hall to
his own door, burst In, .shouted :
"Hello, .lop!" He was genuinely
shocked at himself. He wanted to
make amends by a tremendous home
coming snrb as lie had, before now,
carried off when he was too tired to
mean H.
"Hello, darling," she said.
He had a swift look nt tho picture
which had greeted him so many
nights. The brownish room, the
heaped-up table everything .Tep did
Boemod to take so tiuieli cloth or wool
or whntever It was and of Jep her
self In n street dress busy nt Lord
knew whnt. "
She was measuring something. She
put up her factt to he kissed, kissed
him, smiled absently, said without
looking irt him:
"They sent me up some thnt the
moths have been In."
"Oh. they did, did they?' said Cliiu
son grimly.
lie mnde his preparations for din
ner nnd as she came up the pnssngo
tic sniffed distastefully nt an odor
wax, rubber, gravy tho odor of home.
The familiarity of the pictures on the
passage walls oppressed him signed
photogrnphs. a pergola, El Cnpltan.
A little gong wns pecked at thrice by
the maid trying simultaneously to
"dish It" In tho kitchen. Jep said,
"Iteady, darling?" and came toward
him, picking tluends from her skirt.
They went down the pnssage. He
slipped his nrm about her. She had
his hand under hers. And when they
sat at table Clausen looked nt her
across the soup and asked:
"Did 1 have my arm around you-
Just now, when we came down the
passage?"
"Why. yes, didn't you?" she said.
"Yes. 1 think you did. why?"
"Nothing," said Clnuson, "I Just
wondered."
From time to time, at dinner, he
looked nt ber stealthily. Fifteen
years they bad had together. There
were, no children. Suppose there
.should be twenty-live, thirty-five years
more. And they loved each othpr.
.But heavens nbovo them both, how
dull they were!
"I think I'll send thnt moth-eaten
stuff straight bnck to them," said Jep.
"Wouldn't you, dear?"
"I certainly would, darling," snld
Clauson.
n thought of the sacrilege
or
.using holy words In that unthinking
fnshlon. lie thought of the absurdity
of assenting like u sheep to something
which ho knew nothing whatever
about. He thought of Miss Ulckson
what If some morning the should
bring In his letters nnd say, "There,
denr." with thnt Rood little way of
dipping her head and turning It side
wise without turning her eyes. . .
They considered the theater and
gave up going. They considered tele
phoning for somebody to come In nnd
innke up a table and gave thnt up, too.
Clauson built a tire and smoked nnd
Jep rend aloud. Then they sat talk
ing. Once they disagreed on the
ethics of a hit of gossip and had
a spirited ten minutes. He didn't
quite like Jep when she argued.
When they sat silent Clauson thought
of Miss Hlekson's restful way of re
joining "Exactly" to all his opinions.
He suddenly Imnglned her saying
"Exactly, dear"; Imagined her sitting
here beside lilm ; caught the zest, the
laughter, the thrill which talk with
her could conceivably hold
Obediently on that fie halted Ills medi
tations. He look"d thoughtfully nt Jep. .Top
was responsive; she had humor; she
could be amusing. Mut he was so
used to her. Her hands, that gesture
to her hair, her absent look, her little
crooked yawns. Not a surprise, not
even a variation, She was Jep for
ever. At nine Clauson rose nnd wound
the clock nnd observed as usual thnt
he must have It regulated.
"I've hoard you say that oceans of
times, dear," Jep remarked also as
usual.
"Dear" again. Whnt n continual
farce! And be wished sho wouldn't
always say "oceans." Whnt n rotten
go everything was. How had he got
himself Into this miserable little Jail
of a life, full of clocks nnd keys nnd
kettles. What did; any confounded
thing matter? No wonder everybody
wns tired nf everybody else.
Ho faced Hlnrot and said abruptly :
"I'm going out for n little while, Jep."
"Well, where on earth are you go
ing?" ko Inevitably nsked.
"To take a turn around n block or
two. I'm seedy. I'm seedy I" said
he, and went.
Ten minutes Inter he was bnck nnd
nt tho look In his face Jep said:
"Why, darling! Is nnythlng the
matter?"
"I wish you wouldn't call mo 'dar
ling' when you don't menu It," ho
burst out, and added: "I beg your
I pardon. Yes, .something Is tho matter.
I met Dibble down In the otllce. He
gave me tho tip that this building is
to be pulled down."
"Pulled down!" she repeated, nnd
he wished Irrltnbly thnt she would not
let herself look so surprised Jep
nlwnys did that. He bnd seen her do
It Innumerable times over nothing.
"Yes, pulled down," ho repented
sharply. "We'll nil have to cet ont
by fall. Dibble heard it pretty
straight. Says he's got his eye on a
flnt nnd he's going to get out of here
now nnd sublet till his lease runs out.
"Arthur," said Jep absorbedly, "do
you think we could get one of those
bungalows In the new addition? If
we only could let's look tomorrow,
dearest, nnd If we enn get one, let's
move now."
"Mut I don't want to move nt nil,"
said Clauson bitterly. "I like this
place. I'm used to It. What right
has he got to turn us out?"
"I saw one of them last week," Jep
went on absorbedly. "Darling little
cupboards and such occnnB of closets."
"I don't want to move nt nil," Clau
son repented doggedly; "I'm used to
thts plnee . . ." His eye rested on
the deep fireplace thnt nevpr smoked,
on the familiar brown tile, on the
shelves that could be reached from
Jits chair.
"Well, hut darling I" Jep wns be
ginning. A thousnnd times had he
seen her settle down with the same
gentle exasperation to nn argument.
"I'm going to bed," said Clnuson;
and went.
Nexfdny they drove out to look nt
the bungalows In the pew nddltlon.
It had been n terrible day at tho of
ficeappointments broken, n big con
tract lost and Miss Rlckson nt home
ill. When he picked up Jep waiting
on n corner Clnuson wns In no mood
to like a house on a street of pearl.
Ye tho bungalows were undeni
ably nice. Jep was In ecstasies. "See,
darling. Oceans of pnntrles." She
put, he thought distastefully, white
tiling nnd nn outside door for the Ice
man above every wifely consideration.
Mut even' he was forced to admire the
closet-room, the lended windows, the
compact kitchen.
"No corners, though," he growled.
"No corners. I enn't smoke unless
there's corncrsI tell you Jep, I don't
want to move."
They went home In the rain nnd nil
the way there Jep was nbsorbedly
nnd aloud Imagining furniture Into
thnt bungnlow. Clnuson snt silent,
hunched at the wheel. He wus think
ing how frightfully used he wns to
Jep's enthusiasms.
"Miss Ulckson," he thought, "now'd
be so djfferertf. So still nnd nnd
considerate. Thinking of a man's
comfort Instead of the closets." And
now for the first tlmo ho let himself
think of her without reproach.
While ho was hanging up his coat,
Jep called to him from her room:
"Darling," sho said, "when we camo
In the house Just now did I kiss you?"
"Why, yes, I think so," said Clau
son. "Why?"
"Oh, nothing. I didn't think I'd for
gotten," she nnswered. "I never mean
to forget."
Clauson thought: "Good henvens,
have we come to tills?"
When ho Joined her she was bend
ing over tho living-room table, all
heaped up ugaln with whatever It was
nnd she was saying absorbed)? feltat
these looked Just as mothy ns the
others did. He wondered discontent
edly If any other woiiiau on earth
found moths In everything, the way
Jep did.
"I'll bet you'll find moths In the
new bungalow," he told her. "I'll bet
you'll Mud moths In paradise . . ."
Through dinner she talked of the
new bungalow, and Clnuson, going In
by tho lire, groaned. He tilled Ills
pipe and thought about the fireplace
which drew so welt and the old brown
tile and the book shelves near enough
to reach from his chair. Mut It wasn't
thee things which held hint. It was
their glorious itccitstomediiess.
"I don't want to leave this place."
he insisted. "I'm used to It I tell
you, Jep, I'm so used to It that I'm
I'm rooted. I'd he miserable any
where eyse."
"I'm used to It, too," she ndmltted.
"Truly, for all my talk, I'm home
sick already."
"Then let's cut talking about It. for
now," said Clauson.
The evening passed as all evenings
pnssed. They considered the theater
nnd gave up going. They considered
telephoning for somebody to come In
and make up n table, and gave that
up, too. Clauson lighted the fiie and
smoked and Jep read aloud. Then
they sat talking. Once they disagreed.
Then they slipped Into silence. . . .
And Clnuson fell to thinking of Miss
Ulckson. He had heard her say In
credibly little nnd yet he could feel
the zest, the laughter, the thrill which
talk with her could conceivably holdj ti
Mut he and Jep had nothing to say tiFl y
each other, really, which they had not
already said.
Ho rose abruptly. "I'm going out
for n little while, Jep," he said.
"Whore on earth nre you going?"
she rejoined, as always.
This tlmo as he went ho did not
reply.
At a chemist's he called up tho
scarred hoarding house nnd asked for
Miss Uuth Ulckson.
"I've something I want to talk over
with you," he told her earnestly. "Aro
you well enough to have u bite of sup
per with me?"
"I nm not, thnnk you," came hack
nt h!m crisply. "Won't this wait till
morning? I'll be down nt work
then."
"It will not wnlt," said Clauson,
Just as crisply. And then sho said
that tho landlady .sometimes let her
uso her own sitting room and she
would see. Ten minutes and Clauson
wns In the lnndlndy's sitting room and
Uuth Ulckson sat before him. She
wns In her office dress nnd sho waited
primly and as If sho were about to
take dictation, but with u fnlnt,
puzzled frown.
It wns n terrible room, this In which
they were seated. The colors fairly
locked horns. Above Miss Rickson's
head depended n bright oil of a dog
much too lnrge for his kennel. The
light swooped down from the nnked
gaB jets. There was an odor of cold
storage.
"I can't get you out of my mind,"
Clnuson began abruptly. "Look here:
T want to help you."
"Help me?" She looked still more
puzzled. Her somewhat wary pres
ence wns not ns Clauson had Imaged
it. She made It a bit difficult for him
to go on. He was not very sura what
he Intended to sny anyhow had not
been sure, any of the time. He had
depended on Inspiration nnd her man
ner was not Inspiring him.
"Yos. Help help you somehow to
get n better deal," he brought out.
'.'Thank you. That's very nice of
you. How?" Inquired Miss Ulckson
rapidly. It was the exact ninnner In
which she sometimes said, "Will you
spell thnt name for me, pleaso?"
CJauson floundered. "I don't
know," he said. "You tell me. Whnt
do you what do you want to do?"
Miss Ulckson wns watching him. It
came to Clauson thnt alio was enor
mously nble to take enre of herself,
to make her own deals. There In the
olllce, taking his orders In silence, def
erential, gentle, she bad never seemed
nnythlng like so self-sufficient as she
seemed now.
"I want to be n stenographer," she
said. "That's fairly plain, Isn't It, by
my taking the trouble to learn the
stuff?"
"Yes, of course. Mut haven't you
any other ninliltlor.? Haven't you
ever wanted " Clauson was feeling
rather foolish, ns If the only reason
which lie could think of offhand for
coming to see her had failed.
"Why," said Miss Ulckson, "I sup
pose I wunt to he married."
Clauson was startled. "You are
going to he married?" he Inquired.
"Nobody that I'd have has ever
asked me. Mut," said Miss Ulckson
gravely, "ho may, he may !" She
smiled a little then, nnd dipped her
head.
It went through the mind of Clau
son that this bookkeeper, or whoever
he might prove to lie, would ho the
one to hear her agree, "Exactly, dear."
Or would she agree so very much?
Meally, she was very different from
the Miss Ulckson In his olllce. Sho
sat thwre walling politely, to hear
what he was going to say next. And
what was he going to say next?"
"You you wouldn't want to go to
college?" he asked her, looking more
foolish still.
"Me? Not much. I'm no teacher
born. Three and a but h that's my
measure. Ami my mother will live
with ins when I get It."
Clauson arose. Ho looked around
him n little wildly. "Mut couldn't you
live somewhere now," ho wanted to
know, "where where such n cursed
dog wouldn't sit In front of n konnel
ho doesn't lit?"
She looked quite blank. "What's
the matter with the dog?" she In
quired, nnd dipped bar head, nad
turned her face a bit without turaliiR
her eyes, and ran her hand up over
her bobbed hair at the back. She was
so utterly charming when she wns
silent and agreeing. She was so
utterly different when, now, sho
wheeled towtird hlni:
"Look here, Mr. Clauson," she said
briskly, "why did you come to see ma
tonight?"

For the first time that evening, Miss
Ulckson relaxed. The sweetness came

her ees were liquid. i
"There Isn't n thing you can do," she '
told him. "Mut my, what a prince

On a spontaneous word from hlni I

utmost thought, now, that It was ex
pressly In order to make this propo

Ulckson.
All the same he entered his own

She was not asleep. She camo fly

and he saw that something had hap

"O dearest," she cried, "whnt do

Dibble called up to say they aren't
going to tenr down the building this
year nt all. And we don't have to
move."
"Say!" said Clnuson. "Say I"
He sat before the fire and filled his
pipe. The fireplace that drew so well,
the book shelves. near enough to bo
reached from his chair and the old
brown familiar tile were theirs for a
long time to come. Ho looked round
on these things. He liked them; ho
wns used to them. He looked across
at Jep and smiled. He was used to
them ns he wns used to her.
That hold him. He stared nt her,
his pipe suspended. He was not likely
to think things out hut gently, n cer

lie had no Idea how to voice what
he was feeling. So he got up and
wound the clock.
"M'h i?ot to be regulated, that

Jep smiled up nt hlni lazily.
"If you didn't say that every night,
dear," she observed, "I'd miss It."
He stood looking down at her. And
then he said In a vast content:
"We certainly are used to

LANGUAGE FORMED BY TRADE
fcxcellent Exemplification of the Fact
Is Found in Uso of the
Word "Calico."
There Is a page .of history con
cealed In the 'word "calico." When
the Miillsh went to India, they found
there n considerable cotton textile In
dustry. Tho center of tills Industry
was Calicut. What more natural than
thai the Kngllsli traders, who Intro
duced Indian textiles Into Knglaud,
should call that kind of Indian cotton
cloth ufter the town where tlicy got It
"Calico?'
Mut calico even In our own time luii
been renamed by foreign peopleB after
the nluco where they got It from,
"American" or "Merlcanl."
American calico was used by tho
early American traders with Kastern
peoples, like the Arabs and the Lev
antines, as a medium of exchange.
Tho Arabs and the Levantines quickly
mimed It "American" or "Mencanl."
t'allco, whether Imported from
Mnerlca or from Knglnnd, Is called
American" all over the Near Kust.
Languagu is thus sometimes formed
by trade and by tho extiiange of goods

I. Mary Saved (Luke 8:1. ii).
While Jesus and Ills disciples were
preaching throughout the villages of
(lalllee, Mary and certain other wom
en heard the good news of snluition
and were saved. Hvll spirits were cast
out of them. Mary had been possessed
with seven demons. The number seven
Indicates the completeness of her af
fliction. Modll affliction usually ac
companied demon possession. Doctor
Krdiiiiin says: "It Is a cruel error to
confuse Mary Magdalene with tho sin
ful woman of whom Luke has Just
been writing, Mary hud sulTered from
demon possession, as here stilted, but
there Is nothing In the gospels to indi
cate that she had ever been a woman
of notoriously evil life." So wide
spread Is this I'nlsc Impression Hint
many rescue homes for fallen women
nre named unjustly, "Magdalene."
II. Mary Ministering (Luke 8:!t).
She, with certain women who had
been saved from Satan's power, out of
it heart of gratitude looked after the
comfort of .the Lord nnd Ills disciples.
These women must have been In easy
circumstances, as fliey were able to
buy food and other necessities and,
doubtless, lodging for Jesus nnd Ills
disciples. These women were the fore
runners of t lint large company of nuved
women who have throughout the Chris
tian centuries been uilntsterliig to tho
Lord through kindness to Ills minis
ters. How poor would he this world
without the ministry of godly women.
III. Mary's Steadfastness (John If):
ir
..
After the men and disciples had for
saken the Lord u group of faithful
women remained at the cross, among
whom was Mary Magdalene. Others
lingered, prompted by natural affec
tion, hut she lingered out of grateful
love for salvation from Satun's bond
age. IV. Mary at the Empty Tomb (John
'-'0:11-18).
1. Mlstnken Tears (11-1.1). She had
come to the lomh to weep nnd to pay
respect to the body of her Lord. She
was weeping over what she regarded
as a tragic loss. In spite of her love
and fnlth, she was In a state of con
fusion, if she had known what was
revealed to her n short tlmo afterward,
she would not have thus wept. She
was weeping because the tomb was
empty, when the real cause for weep
ing would have been the Lord's body
In the tomb. I low many times we
break our hearts over misunderstand
ing. The fnct that a living body had
walked out of the tomb Instead of the
dead body in it should have occasioned
rejoicing. The empty tomb Is the
Christian's ground for hope.
'J. The Unrecognized Master (vv. 14,
IB).
She was within sight of the living
Lord, yet mourning for Him. Let us

have our sorrows turned Into Joys. The
