The girl, they said, needed Just this sober, restraining Influence. She reveled In the riot of youth, life waa a succession of red color schemes, there was tin* enough la the years to come for the comfortable warm browna and the somber, aahy grays.

WILLIAMSTON, N. C„ FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, tpoC HTM with the bleina balm of un iertUndlni, might hare conquered. Bat Barton didn't understand, he only knew that he had been hart and that thequlvering, sobbing girl be fore him had In her heart a griev ance. They talked long that night. She told how the singing instructor praised her voice and obtained an engagement for her. She had at tended rehearsals afternoons, snd providentially for her he had been called away Just before the produc tion's first night. Bhe had feared telling him, though fully determined to remain with the theatrical com pany. He had returned unexpected ly, found her absent from home, and learned the truth from a frightened servant In the confidence of her mis tress. Barton showed diplomacy that night In eliminating any chiding note. Ho talked tenderly, quieting, pointing out that ahe was giving np home and husband and friend* for l will o' the wisp; he urged that real, abiding happiness did not He In the calcium's glare; then he told calm ly dispassionately of his love for her, and somehow, some way. robbed the girl's spirit of Its defiance, substitu ted therefore what he thought waa aurrender, and believed he had re gained his own. This waa three years in the past. Now the spark had sputtered again, the fire flamed, more fiercely than ever. The old routine had been resumed, work clalme'd hla waking hours, and he neglected the warning signs he should have heeded. The night was bitterly cold, the winter waa at Its worst and It waa emi nently an evening for married lovers to spend at their own fireside, recall ing, perhaps, earlier days of happi ness. when the Joys realised were in the planning. But Barton's idea of an evening's comfort waa perusing a report of a new method of extracting copper ore. Mrs. Barton waa appar ently reading a novel, but In reality fighting down the rebellion In her aoul. Barton's attention was dis tracted by a sob; he looked up, caught the old wild looks In her eyes, but did not comprehend even when she threw down the book, rose, and cried hysterically; "It's no use!" "What'a no, use, dear? Aren't you wellT" Inquired Barton from the depths of his comfortable chair. "WellT Well. I need no pills, I need no pulse-feeling, tongue-In specting ancient. I'm soul sick, John; you don't understand YOl4 can't! I'm stifling, I'm choking, for life's out of doora." She went to a window, lifted It to let In blasts of ehlll air and swirling snow crystals. "Edith, dear, you'll catch cold. I wouldn't do that," he protested, anx iously. "Cold? What do I care? Some where out ther* are men and women who ar* laughing and happy. They'r* playing wild gypay things, blood Is running In their veins—red, red blood—they're dancing to the queer, compelling strains. They're alive! Don't you understand, John? They're alive!" "Ix>rd, Edith, Is It the old fever, the old discontent come back?" he asked. "Come back? It has never been away. Oh, I've fought It, I've denied It because of what I promised you, but It's thore yet. And now I'll "deny It no "more. I'll surrender to It. Now! To-night!" "You mean—" "That I'm done with this convent of a house. That I'm golnig to do what you stopped me from doing three years ago. That I belong to the world, and I'm going Into It. Oh, you needn't look so ghastly. I'm not going to the devil. I'll live, but I'll not lie to Qod. I'll keep clean, your good name will not suffer, your honor will be unstained for aught I do." "Edith!" Barton was seriously comprehending now. "Edith. I can't tell you the hurt of It. I've lacked understanding up to now. Tears were not the only difference in the beginning. I've glimpsed your tem perament for the first time to-night, as I should have seen It yeara ago. But I caa't let you go; for your own aake reconsider this mad, wild wblm, and—" "No," and ahe spoke quietly. "The six years you have had out of tnj life have been crowded with un happlness and regret. Tou've been kind In your way, bat, as you said, you didn't understand. Tou don't now, John, you never will. I'm not ungrateful for the shelter of your name, and I've deserved It In every action. I'm sorry for the hurt you confess, I'm sorry, hat what you feel la only a part of what has been my dally portion. To-morrow we'll dis cuss It all calmly, John, and I'll go out of your existence. What's that?" It was a sudden peal of the bell. Barton glaneed at the clock; It was after 10, and he could conceive of no visitor at tbla hour bat a messenger with a telegram. Wall, anything would be a diversion at the moment, to let him think of same way out of this confused situa tion. to plan something that would prevent the low that threatened Mm. Tbep listened to the slippered maid as aha Mat doWB the hall, beard her Quick exclamation of surprise and her harried call: "Shore, Missus Barton, and will ye coom here?" Edith ran Into the hall, and a mo room.

John, a baby ! Xn .f on thls HftfMT g untn Tm-v the mother, and It says: "Please, please, care tor my baby. You've a good home. Bare him from poverty or death, for that is all I can give him.' What's It ferylnr: for, MaryT Oh, dear, I don't know the first thing about bablea. What's the mat ter? Is It sick?" "No, mum! It's hungry, the little craythur Is, Ol'm think In'." replied the maid, out of the wisdom gained as one of an lrlsh-Amprlrnn family of ten, "all of then alive and well, thank ye, mum." .■ Darton watched the ensuing scene curiously/ The wdmentplk mussed and fussed over the child; Mary barely stopped Mra. Barton from giving the baby Ice-cold milk, ex plaining that It must be wnrmed; there was a hurried search for adult's clothes that could be adapted to the newcomer's needs. For onre the maid was mistress, and the mis tress obeyed like a soldier. The warm milk transformed the howling Infant to a gurgling rherub. who kicked and thrashed aa far as Its swaddling clothes would permit, while the women delightedly mur mured the silly nothings babies are supposed to understand. At midnight the mistress and the maid were still coddling the waif; a temporary cradle place had been fixed In the big MorrU chair, but the little raacsl hsd no desire for sleep, and while be was awake his nurses "stuck to their posts. "You go on to bed, John; we've got to wait until the baby goes to sleep," commanded Mrs. Barton, and John went. The atmosphere aeemed cleared of antagonism, bar voice rang happy and contented In her new-found pleaaure. But ho felt It was only for the nlKht. As a taxpayer and a mem ber of half a dosea reform organi zations he knew th« city maintained institution* where foundling* were cared for. He knew It would be hla duty to notify the nearest police cap tain fn the morning. The abandon ment of the child was a crime against the statutes and called for punishment of the offender. His duty was obvious, and as soon aa this fact was fixed In his mental note of to-morrow'a dutl«« he re verted to the unhappy climax which would confront him the next day. He lay awake for houra trying to devise some remedy, but none caiuo. He wondered where Rdllli Was that she did not retire, and when in the gray of early morning he fell aaleep it wns to slumber on until almost noon, a moat unheard-of thing for this man of methods. "Wake up. John, it's nearly noon. Come and see the baby, and we'll have breakfast after," he heard his wife call, and while the voice was familiar there was a note In it that waa absolutely new. The baby waa well; Jt was cooing In Its contentment, nnd Marion had to admit his wife's contention that it waa "the dearest baby in the world." Hla opinion on this subject was not large, so It did not count as that of an expert He knew more about mines. At the breakfast table he thought of his duty. "Havo the baby wrapped up well, Edith, and I'll take to the police station But he not no further. "You'll what?" K"Bped hlx wlfo In evident amazement "You know It cannot be kept here. Thar a tnfiSMltiiK tor IM city's walfa, and Iwnldes If you leave to-day-—" But the thought of It hurt him, and he did not finish. "If I leave to-day? Joliu Barton, I'm not going to leave to-day, or tny other day, and that cute, running tittle baby Is not going to the police station So there." "You mean, Hdlth, dear—" and he arose and came to whore she sat. Her artna stole around hla neck, and the new light which came Into her eyes and was reflected in his was pleasant to see. "T mean, John r deais I mean that I guess I don't caro go much what Other peopte are doing. 1 mean that we are going to be really and truly happy, yon and I and tho baby. And I mean this house'Hsn't going to be a convent; It's going to be paradise, John, and Love is king." And In a bewilderment of kisses John Barton excused his lack of fulDllmenf of the duties of cltlMn ship, and decided that tho unhappl ness prevented more than justified the crime of omission he Intended to commit.

The first was, perhaps, the less Interesting of the two, his aquaro face, firm Jaw and solidly bull' frame seemed to proclaim him an admirable specimen of the aver age plan, so full of common sense as to have no room for Ideals. His com panion was, on the contrary, a no tlcwable man. A man, it oould be Been filled with quixotic notions, a poetical and highly strung tempera ment, the cfcief vUlble sign of which was tho finely formed noae and sen sitive noatrll. The friends, for such Ihey were, walked slowly along the Thames Embankment In full enjoy ment of a surprisingly mild morning (Mm aeked for an explanation. iu March. When they reached Cleo patra's Needle, Martin Atock made the remark with which our record of a remarkable episode opens. His companion, Klchard Lyon, replied somewhat gloomily, "Because 1 have lost all faith In womanhood." His friend, surprised, exclaimed, "By Jove! What a loss." "It Is a loss, a very great loss," said Lyon with emphasis, and added as he grasped Atock's arm. "I did not tell you I am engaged to be married." "Married! By (ind, you surprise me Not knowing the lady, I suppose I can't congratulate you, and know ing no well, with your poetic fad* •ud fancies, I'm afraid 1 can't con gratulate her! That'* the situation, I fancy. Hertously, dear boy, I'm de -1 Hut are you sorry that you'ro about to bo tied up? IH that Whutl the matter? And whore does th« loaa of faith in womanhood coma In?"* "I-et's us take ono of the seats 1A the gardens for a moment, nnd per hapa when. I tell you the facts you can help me." They seated themselves, and Lyon, tapping the sole of his boot with his •tick M he rested one leg on the oth er. SiM slowly: "T km as 1 told you, engaged to be niarrie*." "And 1 have congratulated you on the fact," said Aleck. "I hope you'll be very happy." "TOT; but I've got myself Into a hor .Id mess. In this way. 1 have been engaged now three months, and the day before yesterday I wrote a long letter to my fiancee." "Wall, that was not a very wrong thing to do." "Will you listen? I wrote to her aa one does to the girl one hopes to make one's wife. Naturally I used very atrong terms of endearment, and I am worried to death by the fact tbat writing In the office, as I did. In a hurry I put my letter into an envelope addressed to a girl I have only seen once and never aald more than 'lt's a fine day' to." "Well, there's nothing criminal In all this. The recipient may smile or laugh at you, but If ahe's a lady slie'll return the letter without a word, and by and by you'll both for get all about It." "What worries me, Martin, Is this. I wrote, as I told you. In a very atrong strain. I let my feelings run away with me, and I even had the] temerity to auk my wife-to-be to come to my rooms at halt past aeven to-night and promised to take her to the theater." "Yee; well, you thing you've given the show away, so to speak, to a stranger. Is that It?" "No," 1 said Lyon shortly." I did not mention my fiancee's name at ail, so the person to whom the letter li addressed cannot be Identified—" "Then what tn Heaven's name are you groaning about?" cried A took Interrupting. "Can't you see that there Is some thing worse than what I have yet lo.i/l ioiJ" r •' i chap, tell me what It " • 'i 1 Atofrfc felly won at lust to view t''o matter la » serious light. "The traced 7 Ilea hare," Mid Lyon. "I writ* and aak a lady to oome to my room*. The letter U addressed to my fiancee, but It reaches the hands of a lady who la an utter stranger to me!" "Yes," said Atock, keeping a very serious face with an almost super human effort, "and the tragedy!" "The tragedy Is that Bhe has ac cepted my Invitation! Bhe Is coming to-night, she writes me. and even ad*- that she does not mind whether we go to the theater or not." "Well," said Atock, "that is awk ward. I must admit. You're In a beaatly fix. I'll tell you! I have It. You did not say you'd be alone. I'll be there with you. That will settle the matter, eh, my boyT" "It It could have been ao easily settled I wouldn't have bothered you about It," said Lyon with marked vexation. "I told yon I wrote a very strong letter, an Impaaaloned love letter, In fact, and I said over and over again what delight It would be to me to see her —I mean my fiancee —alone for Ave minutes, for her old cat of an sunt never gives her a mo ment's peace." "But, by the way, you don't mind letting me know the name of the gill—" "Let you know! Certainly not. I wouldn't reveal It for worlds." "I mean, dear boy, the name of the girl you are to marry." "Oh, I don't mind telling her name to you, of course not. You've met her —Bessie Blddulph." There was another pause and then Atock cried: "I have It! Why not get Bessie—-I mean Miss Blddulph—to meet the lady?" "Really, you're getting to be Idiotic," shouted Lyon. "A nice time I'd have eiplalnlng how the whole affair happened! I'd have to admit that my letter to Mlaa Blddulph went astray, and there's nothing In the letter to prove to whom It wbb ad dressed! It commences, 'My Darling Qlrl, —' " "Oh, Miss Blddulph knows you've only got one!" laughed Atock. "Hang It all, can't you have sense?" said Richard, thoroughly Ir ritated. Swing that his friend was truly perplexed, Atock began again: , "It Is worrying, but where, to re vert to my original question, does your gloominess and loss of faith In womanhood come In, and Is there anything very,very Incriminating In tho contents of your letter?" "Nothing Incriminating,- but how can one have any faith In woman If you can Invite an almoat unknown girl of undoubted social position and blameless antecedents In the manner I have told you, and discover to your horror that such a proposal la ac cepted with alacrity? If one girl does such a thing, why not all?" "I mean to meet the girl," he went on savagely. "I've gained a lot by tolling you about my worry, haven't I? I shall meet her and tell her Its all a mistake, I don't want to com promise her or myself. I might have called upon her; perhaps I'd better wire, but on the whole I think I shall seo her—though I've no respect for the brazen baggage." "She's not a brazen baggage," said Atock, with sudden warmth. "How In heaven's name do you know?" cried Lyon. "I never men tioned her name." "No, you did not," said' Martin "but I think you should be lust to U>« poor, girl, YouUre a very fascin ating fellow, you know, old chap, quite a ladyklller, you know." "Well, thank heaven, I'm not an exasperating Idiot. Thank heaven I've got Ideals and live up to them. Thank heaven I've reverence left for true womanhood, though that rever ence has been rudely shaken by this this —disgraceful parallelogram In petticoats as I believe O'Connell called a particularly offensive piece of womanhood. Thank heaven—" "Thank heaven that you've got a friend who can get you out of the mess your high-flown Ideas have got you into," said Atock. "I happen to know the lady you are speaking ao disrespectfully about." "You do?" cried Richard. "Who Is she then—for I shall not tell you, even If you're right." "Her name Is Ada Beatrice Pur ser," said Martin solemnly. Lyon gasped. "Bhe Is a lady for whom I have a profound respect," continued Atock. "I was with her when your letter arrived." "And you reapect a 'lady' who can accept such an Invitation as was mine?" asked Richard. "Certainly I can," calmly replied Atock. "You're not the only one en (i.ged to be married, my boy. I am engaged to Mlsa Puraer!" "Then what on earth la the mean ing of her conduct?" asked Lyon. ' Simply thla. I dined with the Pursers on Tuesday. Ada's father has consented to her marrying me. She received your letter In the en- Spe which you had addressed to in reply to the queatlona on Eng llterature which I had asked her ut to you under pretext of being a soul thirsting for knowledge. I know you are fond of being con sulted as a kind of watchdog of knowledge. Of course she could make neither head nor tall of your letter, and I—l made her write and accept voiir Invitation, which appointment, of course, she never Intended to keep, and I—well, I called to see you this morning Just to see the effect her letter had had on you. Of course, I did not know then that you were engaged to be married! So your faltn In womanhood la atlll In tact!"
