"I've, had a plcco of wretched luck. 1
was at -Mrs. Atherlcy'a 'at .homo' today,
whw Anson" turned up.' I met him with
out .winking, but he knew mo at once, tic
called mo outside and treated mu llko u
dog."
"Jle.dld. eh?"
"Yes. It was nd good trying to bluff
him. Only on tho guarantee that I would
never meet Miss Athcrloy again would ho
consent no to cxposo me. I'm done. My
last chance la gone. I have wasted my
money on. Grenlerls mad notions, and I
was fool enough to think you meant what
you said when you swore to hayo Anson's
life."
Grenler, who heard every word, reap
peared. "Docs Philip Anson know that Mr.
James Crlchton Langdon is Sir Philip
Norland's stepson?" he asked.
"I can't tell. What does It matter, any
how?" "Think, man, think! Docs ho even
know your name?"
"Ho can easily find out."
I'Not he. This young spark has a fine
sense of honor. You promised to, keep
away from the lady in future. Ho will
never evoh mention you. And your money
Is not lost. It has been well spent, every
farthing. Take care Miss Evelyn does not
see you until aho Is heartbroken about
Philip Anson. She will be; you can bo
quite sure of It. vThen your opportunity
will come."
The InmntrN of tho (iruiiRp House
i'niup walked on roses during those
glorious days. Ho had found his mate.
His llfo was complete, How bright tho
world, and how fair the future!
Tho only dlsugreeoble Incident marring
the utter Joy of existence, and that only
for an Instant, was his encounter with
Langdon at Mrs. Atherley's pretty flat tn
Mount street.
Orenler, endowed by nature wlt.li un
occasional retrospective cllmpso of &
nobler character, read him correctly
when ho said that Ansbn would never
condescend to name tht intruder In the
presence of the woman he loved.
But he did ask a servant who It was
with whom he had Juit been conversing
In the entrance hall, and tho girl said
the gentleman was a Mr. Longdpn. No;
Mrs. Atherley did 'not know him well,
JIo was brought to her "at home'" on a
previous Wednesday by a friend.
Obviously Evelyn could not havo mow
than a passing acquaintance with the
man, or sho would have recognized him
herself. Her agitation that night In tho
park, the terror of a difficult situation,
was enough to account for her failure
In this respect, nor was Philip then aware
that at her previous meeting with Lady
Morlandg son sho entertained a curious
suspicion, Instantly dispelled by his glib
manner, that Langdon was the man who
sought to thrust his Unwelcome altn.

Mount Btrcet how came Mrs. Atherley
nnd her daughter to return to tho pre
cincts of Mayfalr? That was a little
secret between Philip and Lord Vanstone.
When Evelyn slyly endeavored to niako
her now admired understand that there
could be no Intimacy between a million
ulro and a young lady who was embark
ing on a profession career sho thought
so, bo It recorded; this Is no canon of
art he semlngly disregarded the hint,
but. Interview Lord Vanstone next morn
ing.
The conservation was atonny on ono
ttldo and emphatic on the other. Philip
hod heard sufficient of Mrs. Atherley's
history by Judicious Inquiry 'to enable
him to place soma unpleasant facts be
fore, his lordship.
When tho facts had been thrust down
tho aristocratic gorge, Anson turned to
p'.easunter topics. Ho Informed Iord
Vanstone, who boro tho title as trio third
son of a marquis, that his niece's future
was more Important than his lordship's
dignity. He must cat mud for her sake,
and 'willingly withal.
Various forma of solicitors set to work,
and, marvelous to relato, Lord Vunstonc
was nblo to wrlto and In Sunn his half
Bister that certain speculations In which
ha had Invested her fortune wero turning
out well. A cash payment of 2,000 would
be made to her nt once, und aho pos
sessed an assured Income of at least ,V0O
per annum during the remainder of her
life
The poor lady had heard . theso fairy
talcs before; Indeed, soma such story of
moro gorgeous proportions had converted
her consols Into waste paper.
But a lawyer, not Lord Vunstono's, sent
her a check for tho larger amount, and,
at a subsequent Interview, affirmed tho
statements mado by her unreliable
relative. v
So she went back to her caste, and her
caste welcomed her with open arms, and
the dear woman thanked 'Provldcnco for
the decree that her daughter might now
accept thd attentions of any man, no
matter how rich he might be, for aho
saw tho drift of Philip's wishes, and, It
Evelyn were married to him, surely all
their previous trials might bo deemed
fortunate.
She ilttlo dreamed that imperious Philip
had ordered matters his own way.
It was not to his thinking that his
bride should come to him from the gen
teel obscurity of Malda Crescent. He
Would give her a great position, worthy
of the highest In the land, and It was
better for her that he should woo and
win her from the ranka of hor order.
It should no bo Imnglneil that ho was
hasty In his decision. To his mind, Evelyn
nnd ho were known to each other since
they wore chlldron. It wus not by the
wayward caprice of chance that he met
her on tho night of the meteor's fall, nor
agoln, that he came to-'hor assistance a
socond time after the lapse of years.

His words ehocd In every heart. Across l
each mind in the smart theater where
satins rustled and perfumes teased tho
senses flashed the plture of Its own fairy
boats.
In the nudlene I saw a millionaire. He
had worked In downtown offlcs, among
hard headed, granite featured men who
thought In dollar slpns until he was AO
years of age. On his fortieth birthday he
nald: "I have earned $1,000,000. i have
shown that 1 can succeed further In
flnanco If I wish, but 1 don't wish. I am
going to be n pointer."
He leased a Btudlo on a sldo street and
began to paint. I have seen his pictures.
They are not vy good pictures, so far,
but neither are they very bad, There aro
possibilities In his work. Critics Bay
that after a long time. If he persists, he
may paint passahlo pictures, even good
ones. At this stage no one knows. But
art Is his fairy boat. Let him sail In It,
If he likes. Assuredly ho has earned tho
right.
That woman -who practices her vocal
lessons tsxcrutlatlngly In the apartment
next yours. Sho Is a heavy cross, she
and her voice gymnastics. You wonder
why she cannot be content with her
housekeeping, with her children, with her
church work, with her circle of friends.
Well, she Isn't. Music Is her fairy bont.
Put yoUr hands over your ears, or pro
tect your ear drums with cotton, or con
struct for yourself a soundless chamber
and retire to It when her voice waxes
loud. But let her sail. Sail out of the
routine that dulls, tho dally repetition
that Irks, the "grind" that wearies.
Leave her, mind and heart and soul to
their Ilttlo playttmo beyond the dally
confines of her life. It Is far better for
her, If not so soothing for you, than If
she burned out her eyes, and perhaps her
morals by reading an average 1914 novel.
T know a doctor whose offices are
crowded with patients. His skill Is such
that ho has grown rich and famous. Jt
would seem that this scientific shoemaker
would do well to stick to his last, but he
doesn't. He wants to write a play. He
Bpends hours every week, made up of
those priceless minutes of his, every
stroke of the clock, so to speak, repre
senting a fee, pegging away at a play. I
have read the play and regret to say It
Is a very poor one, notwithstanding the
fact that hq. has enjoyed writing the
fchapcless. Ill-constructed, pointless work.
But the ..fact has point though tho play
hasn't That play took him out of the
actual .Into, the Ideal. It was his fairy
boat Into which he scrambled and sailed'
away from tpday Into the tomorrow of
his dreams. ,
Joseph Jefferson used to point pic

singer. Their fairy boats.
Fairy boats aro harmless, so long as
they sail but a little way and tack early
back Into port. But occasionally a fairy
boat causes shipwreck. A lawyer em
barked otio night in the fairy boat r.f
opera and sailed so long and so far that
he left his family shouting warnings to
him from the shore.
"He'n muslo mad," said the neighbor?.
"Ho goes to the opera every night and
Is too tired next morning to get up and
go to his office." Ho lost his practice,
and with It his Income, With the passing
of both passed his wife and children.
Voyages in fairy boats may be tonlo
and health giving. It Is well for us to
lose sight now and then of tho voca
tional grindstone, to do something not
for mere profit, but for play. One of the
most successful editors In Now York

and saws furiously and more or less dis
cordantly at a violin. Soon tho dubious
tones havo banished tho cares that In

another train of thought. She has had a
brain bath in fancies that have washed
awny tho dust of the day. She has taken
n little cruise In her fairy boat and come

Advice to the Lovelorn
Br BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
He U Not WortU It.
Dear Miss Fairfax : I am a young girl,
and I think a great deal of a boy, who, I
have very good reason to believe, cared
for mo until Just lately when a girl whom
I though was my best friend came home
from her vacation. This girl tried her
bept to get him a ay from me, and as
sho Is more attractive, and bfetter dressed
than I, she has succeeded. The boy still
treats me In a courteous and gentlemanly
way. That Is all. I wish you would tell
mo how I can win back his regard, as I
care for no one else. HURT.
The friendship of a boy that can be
won by the prettier face or attire of an-
other girl Isn't worth the effort you
would have to make to keep It.
Call your pride to your rescue, and
show him you don't care for hlm.

What a Woman Deserves
Bjr BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
During their courtship a man treats his
sweetheart as If the were a child, whose
Ignorance of responsibility is what at
tracts him, After marriage, ho domands
that sho be a woman grown, with shoul
ders broad enough to bear a woman's
burden, and an understanding thut Is
uier jjuruuii,
I He never learns that much which goea
jjjvrong Is due to his Insane beginning,
A man who signs himself "I'orplexed"
writes:
"After having been In business for somu
time, I have commenced to keep company
with a young woman five years my Jun
ior, and have developed a great affection
for her which I havo reason to think Is
returned.
"But now I find that my business Is
not progressing fast enough; at least, not
as expected, and I do not know Just when
I will be In position to think seriously of
marriage.
"Now, what I wish to know Is, would
It be proper for me to explain my posi
tion to my friend, whose sterling quali
ties would quickly gain her other admir
ers, or shall I say nothing? I love her
dearly."
Say nothing? Certainly, It you class
her among tho simple and feebleminded!
Stop paying her any attention without tho
explanation due her If you think sho Is
still a child, but It you have the sense
of a grown roan and realize that she has
the brain and smpathlcs of a woman and
Is neither a baby nor a doll, go to her
und toll hor the truth and the whole
truth, beginning with tho statement that
you love her. That statement will always
result In a woman, tuklng a chair, eager
to hear the rest.
There can ,be liut one result: An ap
peal to a woman's understanding always
glv-wi her a better understanding.
"You hnvo u hruln tn your head and
will understand what I am trying to toll
you In what makes Intelligent thinking
women of young girls.
"You' aro Just a nice, pretty child, and
I don't want your foolish little head both
ered with business," Is what makes young
glrla develop Into tho smirking figure
heads of society who are only saved by
thqir social position from being classed
as Idiots.
They were once tho fashion In feminity,
Thero was a tlmo when the Ideal woman
was as Incapable of thinking as Is the
miniature sugar brldo. on top a wedding
Hake, but the day Is past and gone, and
the man of today who treats a woman
ns If she were still of that period belongs
awny back thero with tho yesterdays.
Don't bo of that number, Mr, Per
plexed, Give your sweetheart credit for
having a brain, and talk to her of your
hopes and your prospects as If she were
an Intelligent being. Her sympathy wilt
help you over the rough places. Her faith
In you will give you the courage to make
