Ho felt that the bleakness of the cold morning was symbolic of the life that stretched before him with Margaret. He had a few hours' sleep and came down to find that the morning mail had come. There was a letter from Margaret. "Come to me this morn ing," she said. "If you have ever loved me come." His pride fought against going. He felt that he couJd not face her. He had i held his head so high. He had lav i ished upon her all the bounty cf his j wealth and now he wa3 to preseafr ; himself to her as a man who had failed. But he went, and she received him in the great library. A fire burned on the bearth. Beside it basked a moon- The Commonwealth, $1.00 a year. " ... .: wsi m Him .

The thought of Margaret driven to econo mize stabbed him. She was born for power, for position. He would not take them from her. j Even as he thought of her she came I toward him swiftly, a little graceful figure in her clinging gown of dull blue. "As if you could get rid of me," she said, and lifted her face for his kls3. "Don't," he said hoarsely. She turned very white. "Do yon mean," she said slowly, "that you are going to- let a little thing like losing your money stand between us?" "It is not a little thing." "Oh," she flung out her hands. "Do you think I am made only for ease, for softness? Do you think that I am a woman who can't work 07 your side who wouldn't be glad to show you how I can help?" "But you don't know." he told her, j "what It means. If I take you Into my life the world must know that I have failed. But I cculd not let you suffer." "Ch," her eyes blazed. "It Is your pride, not your love for me, that stands between us." I "No," he said, "it is not that; but I have failed, Margaret" I She saw the pain in his eyes, the working of his strong features, and she gave a little cry. "Let me help, dear heart; let me help." For just one moment he gathered her Into his arms. Then he said: "There is no other way, dearest. I must win the money back, and I can't ask you. to spend all your youth in waiting." "Why shouldn't I wait?" she asked quickly. "Thejre never will be any other man, Philip." He looked at her. "I am a man w'ho has failed," he repeated bitterly. She swayed toward him a little. "Do you call it failure," she demanded, "simply because you have lost a little money? If yon had failed to answer the call of those who suffer; if you had "neglected the boy. with the broken leg or the baby who is going blind that would have been failure. If you had refused to go wrhere there "was contagion that would have been fail ure." He looked at her in amazement. Was this the gentle, little girl whom ha had loved with a half-indulgent love this wonder-woman with the iu-si-.-Vcd baring? "lylwi'garet," he whispered, and his voice wavered. "Your life and mine," she -went on, "must be dedicated to those who need us. The poor need you more than the will live quietly in a downtown dis trict. You shall grow old In service, and I will shine in your reflected light." "Dreams," he murmured. She came and knelt beside him. "Aren't they dreams worth making true?" she said. "There would he love and service in our home, and that would be success." She -was in his arms now. "Dear est," he said. After that there wasn't much to say. Eut, when a little later he left her, Margaret knew she had won. The next morning he said to Dun ham: "I shall marry Margaret. May be we are a pair of fools, but we are going to try living for humanity I shall practise among the poor." Dunham stared, then dropped his hands on the other's shoulders. "Old fellow," he said, and his voice deep ened and broke, "old fellow, last night you said you were a man w7ho had failed, but we would all court failure for a future like that of love and service and happiness with Margaret Dare." The Brighter Side. One of the easiest things in the world is to form the habit of grum bling. Th3 occasional discontent at one's lot scon develops into chronic pessimism, a state of mind that sheds gloom around and completely over shadows the natural brightness of every normal, healthy being. There's an old saying that puts the matter in a nutshell: "If you can't have what you like, like what you have." Try to see the good that may lie far beneath the surface of your lot, but in the effort to unearth It there will be developed a greater strength, to withstand the harder knocks of the world. The grumbler is a very unwelcome person. He is In a constant state of displeasure with everything In general and with himself In particular; it is a reputaiion that few of us envy or covet, and one that if care be not used in the daily attitude toward life, will grow upon us until we are the slaves of a disagreeable habit. Wise Little Mice. Educated mice are not altogether uncommon about the capitol and its office buildings, but Congressman Ro denberg of Illinois says that those that inhabit his room are more learned than any others. "You know my word is good?" said Rodenberg, indicating that the story he was about to tell was a bit fishy. "Well, when my secretary and I were looking over the seeds that came to us from the agricultural de partment, we were on the verge of doing some tall cussing at the mice that gnawed a hole In the corner of nearly every package. Now, you know, the large envelopes contain sev eral smaller seed packages, and I want to tell you our wrath gave place to admiration when, after opening sev- : eral of the large packages, we found ! that none of the small packages in i any of them had been touched except the packages of lettuce seed. I'll wager something pretty that there j Isn't another member of congress who has mice in his room that are trained as will as that." W'ashington Corre i spondence St. Louis Star. Do youtake The Commonwealth ? j LUCKY SWISS HOUSEWIFE 1 She Has Methods All Ker Own and Lets the Rain Do All the Family Washing. Swiss methods of laundering are orig inal, practical and labor saving. The women there have learned -well how to make the best use of their opportuni ties with the least exertion. How they use the tourists every , one who has traveled In the country of the Alps knows. They also know how to make nature do their housework. In most of the towns everything that Is washed or cleaned is washed or cleaned in one of the; big watering troughs that stand at"regular intervals along the main thoroughfares. Into It gees everything from potatoes to hu man beings, and the i caly sanitary regulation existent Is that it must be cleaned out with a large broom made of bush or twigs after the potatoes have had their bath. But when it rains then everything else gives way to the' family wash, no matter if it Is Thursday or Sunday or Saturday or Wednesday, for in Switzerland they seek the rainy days for wash days, In stead of deploring a cloudy Monday. The steady downpour provides run ning water In the village washtub. Into the sweeping current the family linen goes, and there It is whirled and twirled about until every speck -of dirt is thoroughly rinsed away. The scrub bing board is not put into commission at all. Occasionally the good housewife, protected under the family umbrella held over her head by one of her youngsters, who is allowed to enjoy the drips from that same umbrella, takes a look at her wash and encour ages it with a gentle poke with her husband's best Cane. But the rest of the day she enjoys to the full in her snug chalet, while the elements do her work. In fact, with her conscience at rest that her day's tasks will be done, she can spend her time gossiping with her neighbor, whose conscience is also at peace. On the next day the wash goes through a process of bluing and starch ingall in that same basin and fin ally, when the sun shines, it is laid out on the wonderful green grass of the Swiss matten and Js there bleach ed to a snowy whiteness. If the gla ciers and the landslides were to ac commodate her by rolling down over her wash and ironing It out without soiling the Swiss housewife would not be at all surprised. In fact, it is not to be doubted that she now regards as an oversight the failure of Dame Na ture to provide an Ironing board. New York Po4. - - - - LOST HIS LINEN JOB. The Salesman Who Made a Caricature of A. T. Stewart. A. T. Stewart was shown one day by one of his confidential employees an amusing caricature of himself done in pencil. "Good, good!" he laughed. "That's excellent. Who did it?" "A young salesman at the linen coun ter. He scratched it off as you pass ed the other morning. I managed to get it from him, and now he's scared stiff for feor you'll see it," was the laughing reply. "Scared stiff, is he?" said Mr. Stew art, with a twinkle in his eye. "Just sent him to me, will you?" A little later a slim youth entered Mr. Stewart's private office and said he understood he had been sent for. "Yes," said Mr. Stewart gravely and, holding up the sketch asked, "Did you do this?" The lad grew pale and stammered: "I beg your pardon, sir; it was only a bit of fun. I meant no offense." "That's all very well, but you'll have to give up your job here." The youth humbly protested, when Mr. Stewart burst out laughing and said: "Don't say any more, my boy. I'm only joking.

It has been claimed by some that any soil is available for pecan grow ing, but this is erroneous. It would be a waste of time and money to plant pecan trees on poor, shallow, roky land in some sections. It is generally known that they thrive best on deep, rich soil. Lands along the creeks and valleys which are subject to overflows occasionally and which are underlaid with a perma nent water supply are the most ideal for pecan growing. It has been c'aimed by some that it was neces sary for the tap-root to reach water when the tree came into bearing', but this is also erroneous, for the majority of pecan trees now in ex i ;tance do not have their tap-roots s situated. This tree is a dep rooting one, and the rain-fall in nearly all parts of the South is suffi cient to mature the nuts. So, in de ciding the matter about the soil, that has fertility enouah to grow a fair crop of corn or cotton will grow pecans. Transplant the trees between the first of November and the last of February. The earlier perhaps the better, on account, of the trees hav ing time for the dirt to become set tled around them by the winter rains, and this is important. Give your pecan trees plenty of room, re membering, however, that the im proved budded sorts do not require quite as much space as the wild ones. Generally, on average soil, thirty feet each way will be a very safe distance to set the trees The Pro gressive Farmer. How to Avoid Consumption.

The Reptiles Were Frozen Stiff, but That Didn't Harm Them. A naturalist once told how lu a thicket on a mountain side he saw a man kill a rattlesnake. lie beat the life out of it with a club and contin ued the pounding till It was mangled beyond recognition. When the nat uralist remonstrated the man said. "Boss, you can't kill a rattlesnake too dead." On one occasion a boat bound for the United States from Rio de Janeiro touched at rernambuco, where the mate drove a bargain with n snake dealer for a half dozen reptiles of vari- ous sizes. The mate had them in a cage oa deck and charged a sailor with the duty of washing it out with sea wti ter every evening. All went well a long as the weather was mild, but on the night before the gulf stream was crossed the sailor left a quantity of water in the cage, and about thirty hours from port a biting gale struck - tne ship. All hands were busy with the storm. like so much firewood and carried them home. But a rival dealer after ward told the officer that plenty of warm water had resuscitated the snakes and that they had been sold to various museums not a bit the worse for their "death" by freezing. liar per's Weekly.
