He had heard her say onee that she

It was on his yacht one August day
off I'lne ellff. She wan dressed all In

UK BOUGIIT A QCJAKTEU'H WOKTU ; HE WAS
A I'OOlt MAN NOW.
So cool and sweet and proud she was
that , looking nt her , he had wondered
whether she ever was like other girls ,
If she ever cried , the real old fashioned
cry that conies from n helpless heart
ache.
And now ho was glad that she was
the other kind. At least she would
not suller over his trouble. Of course
Bhe had loved him In a way. He set
bis teeth and faced the cool , fresh
spring wind that blew across City Hall
park. They had both been young and
wealthy and proud of each other. The
engagement had occurred as a matter
of course after his father 'had admit
ted him to the firm as a partner.
And now It had all gone up In smoke.
He hardly realized how as yet , but ho
knew enough of the fate of others , to
eee ahead only ruin and wreckage and
Insolvency for the old Orm.
A flower seller stepped hi his way ,
with a smile of good fellowship.
"Vi'lets-flvc n bunch ! "
Shirley frowned and theii paused.
She loved violets. He had sent some
to her every day for months at 75
cents a bunch , great , purple , single
petalcd beauties heavy with fragrance
and hothouse loveliness. These were
double and small and a deep blue. Ho
smiled grimly and bought u qunrter's
worth. He was n poor man now.
Miss Whltworth was at home. He
was ushered Into the smaller reception
room , the one In old rose and gold that
Evelyn liked best. He used to Imagine
her there In the brocades and powder
cd hair of the sun king's reign. All
that sort of thing seemed to suit her.
She had not heard yet. Of that he
was sure when she entered and greet
ed him. There was the same cool ,
ewcct grace In her manner , the easy ,
well bred content In her eyes , as she
emlled nt him , her betrothed husband.
He did not give her the ilowers , but
held them , the poor little scanty clus
ters , with n bit of cheap silver foil
wrapped around their stems. They
floemed so out of plnce here In her en
vlronmcnt.
"It is like spring , Is It not ? " she
ealil. "Don't you want to drive through
the pnrk with me ? I have Just ordered
Iho carriage. "
He raised his head to make some
careless , conventional answer when
suddenly the longing swept over him
to end It all and get away , nwny froit.

hnrm of her presence. She had never
Boomed so beautiful and dear to him
as now.
"I can't go , " ho hurst out In a reck

eulclde act , nnd I why , wo haven't

'And I came to sny goodby. "
She snt very quietly nnd looked nt
the violets.
"Aren't they pretty ? "
He laid them on the table and
flushed.
"They seemed a fitting symbol of the
ntate of affairs. I got them In City
llnll park. They were 5 cents a bunch. "
She rose and crossed to the tnblc ,
tier bock half turned to him as aho
7nised the violets to her fnco.
"I am glnd you thought of them.
tThoy are a symbol of remembrance. "
The solitaire on her loft hand spar
kled brightly among the violets , and
Shirley's face hardened as he won

there. He rose , feeling dull and help

only wanted to tell you llrst so that
you might be spared any scene or emo
tionalism. "
Still she was silent , lie looked at
her with eyes full of pain and pride.
Another Milltalre was sparkling on the
petals of the violets , and while he
gazed It was joined by many , lie
stared at them awkwardly as he real
ized that she was actually crying. Itul
why ?
"Don't , dear ; don't do that , please.
I said you were free. "
lie had not meant to , but some way
just for the last time lie was holding
her hands clo-o to bin lips anil looking
down Into her brown eyes eyes that
seemed strangely soft and lender
through their mist of ( earn.
"Hut don't you know how could
you think" Her voice was low and
broken. "I don't want to be free. "
His hands tightened over hers , but
he could not speak Of course she did
not understand what he had told her.
He must be strong and save her from
danger.
"Why do you make me say It all ,
Jack ? " She hesitated , waiting , then
went on : "I don't care about the linn
or or anything except you. U only
means a fresh start , and you are young ,
and and won't It be easier to start to
gether , Jack ? "
lie released her hands.
"You're awfully good to me , " he
said. "Hut you don't understand what
It all means , dear ; you can't. It will
take years to build up again , and you
can't be married to a poor man. "
She was laughing up at htm through
her tears.
"You foolish , foolish boy I Don't you
see ? It wasn't the money. Did you
think that was all that mattered ?
Don't you know that night on the
yacht ? I was steering , and you put
your arm around me and kissed me
and called me your pilot , and I prom
ised to be your pilot for life ? Don't
you remember ? And nothing has
changed , only a little money. I am
still your pilot , am I uot ? "
She held out her hands pleadingly to
him. Hut ho closed his eyes and stood
With lifted head and clinched lists
praying for strength for her sake until
suddenly ho felt her arms around his
neck and her hair brushed his cheek.
"I won't be given up , " she said. "I
won't , I won't. You ought not to even
suggest It now when you need me
most , and and I love you. "
There was a tap on the door a few
moments later.
"The carriage , Miss Whltworth. "
"Presently. " Miss Whltworth's voice
was happy and smothered somewhat.
She drew away from his arms nnd
gathered up the scattered violets.

In certain parts of New Guinea wal

plentiful , and the traveler in search of
sport linds the pur.sult of them an ex

He had been ashore In one of the
sparsely populated regions of the coast
and secured , four wallaby , an ample
supply for the whole party , native
guides and servants included. Hut he
found that although wallaby is re

tain It none of the native boys In the

This was a mystery until one of them
explained that they had been trained
In childhood In the belief that If they
ate wallaby before reaching a certain
age It would stop their growth.
These boys all belonged to the part
of Ilia country where wallaby arc few ,
and one can Imagine the crafty old

winking at one another as the young
