But your first , duty is to your betrothed, so I will be your wife under the Com mon Law." Thus declared Valerie" West, the artist's model, to Neville, the artist, when for days her heart had been wrung 'in the torment of a hopeless love. . Neville was engaged ' to a society girl heartless, coldly beautiful. He had found in 'Valerie West the model for which he had searched for months and as she posed for him in charac ters which she "allowed no other art ist to paint, a love' came to them both, as pure as the morning dew drops. But Valerie West's love was too deep, too sincere, to hazard the career of the man she loved by mar rying him. So, after a struggle that wrenched her heart from her very j body, love triumphed and she was to become his wife under the Common Law for as long as he would have her. But when she discovered that it was the selfishness and ignorance of others who had 'misjudged her just because of her profession,, her atti tude changed, : arid she finally con sents to become his wife under the Law of God. .Thus is the story of "The Common Law," the greatest story which Robert W. Chambers ever wrote, and which.. has i been filmed in a magnificent eight-reel spectacle, starring the supreme dramatic art ists, Clara Kimball Young.

Several machines were formed in a line and set going at a high rate of speed with the idea of clear ing a passage to the enemies' trenches. Because of the uneven ground in many places, it was found that the machines were just as apt, being abandoned and uncontrolled, to turn about and charge back at full speed in the direction from which sent, causing much havoc. For this reason their use was not long continued. Miss Birney was able to secure one of the machines in France the p as summer and brought it to New York. WHAT CAN-FATHER- YOU IN YEAR 1917?

The new civil code of Brazil, representing the product of years of labor on the part of the ablest men of the republic, will come into effect with the begin ning of the new year. There are nu merous provisions in the new code that will . affect certain classes of American business. Among the prin cipal ones are the following: The new code definitely guaran tees the property rights of the au thors, artists, or inventors of books and artistic works or inventions. The term of 60 years is accorded them an dtheir heirs for the enjoyment of these rights, after which the inven tfon or work falls to the public do nio ? and hnromea nhmmnriittronertv. press permission, of letters and other communications not originally intend ed to be published. In the matter of protecting mining rights the new code takes a decid edly advanced step. It establishes clearly the right of every land-owner ( goil beneatn it and to the air spaces hli, tt i the actual letter of the law based I upon an ancient European colonial j model had been that the undiscov I ered resources of the subsoil belong i rather to 'the community than to the individual owner cf the land above ! them. As regards water rights, the new code specifically ordains that ' the right to draw water from the subsoil of one's property rests with the own er of the land, provided, however, that by exploiting this right he does not injuriously diminish the water supply of his neighbors. He may . not, therefore, bore a well deeper than his estate which is regarded and held sa- i cred as the homestead or last asylum of his family in time of stress Thp law in this case protects not only the owner, but his wife and even his children. Certain very useful provisions hitherto not incorporated in the Bra- ' 11! J z.mou coae are made concerning the actual domicile of a person claim ing many residences.

A married man is prohibited from giving in bond or otherwise alienat ing, without the express consent of 1 his wife, property which they hold i in common or which is necessary for the subsistence of the family. A man may not stop his wife's credit at shoos where rhe purchases articles 1 necessary in the actual conduct oft her household; nor may he prohibit) either her or the vender from deal- ing upon a -..credit basis in articles i which :--are nfCsUJlcis ofmHv j life.
