She stood quite still in the hum- ble red-tiled sitting room, and look- ed at him with a great compassion shining out of her dark, clear eyes. He wag worn almost to a shadow, and his limps were shaking with wezkness, as he half rose to greet her. Only his eves were still alight znd burning. Save for them he might have been a corpse. Something of the old passionate pity swept through her as she stood there, put its fierceness had died away. Her heart !:2ned no longer in quick response to the fire in those still undimmed eyes. She had been a girl then, a girl with all the fierce untrained nature of her mother's race; she was a woman now, a sad-faccd, sorrowful woman, He wag quick to see the change. "Margharita, my child, you have been 11." Still she did not answer. Silent. ly she knelt d wn by the side of his armchair and took his withered, delicate hand in hers. A great bowl of white hyacinths stood on a table by the window, and the air was faint with their perfume. "I am not 11," she said gently. "I was frightened on my way here, and had to run. There was a fire lact night at the lunatic asylum at Frit'on, and some of the mad peo- ple have escaped.

It is true that I love an Englishman-- the man who was standing by my side last night; and it is true that the has asked me to marry him But I have not told him so, and I have not promised to marry him. That is not all of my confession. Not only is he an Englishman, but his name is Lord Lumley St. Maurice, and he is--her son, { "Now you know the terrible trouble T am in, Last night he was telling me of his love, and assuring ers after him. They wanted me te go back, but I would come." He stooped down and kiseq her forehead, with eold, dry lips. "I knew that you would be here sogn,'" he said. "My letters reach- ed you safely?' ' "Yes." ' She shuddered at the gathering strength in his tone, and the fierce light which had swept into his face. "It is done, child. done!" "No. Something in her sad tone and subdued manner seemed to strike' a note of fear in hig heart, He leaned forward grasping the sides of his chair with nervous, quivering Say that jt Is me of his mother's sanction and approval, when your face appeared | at the window. Can you wonder | at my start and that I fainted? Can you wonder that I sit here, af-, ter a sleepless night, with eyes that are dim and a heart that has be- come a stone?

I have steeled my heart and clothed my lace with frowns--in vain! The bald fact remains that I love him. Do you despise me, uncle?

"Margharita,--I have pondered aver it. You are young to have wach a sorrow, vet I.do not doubt but that you will act as becomes your race. You can never think of marriage with this man; you a Mar- loni, he a St. Maurice! Yet grieve 'hat you have let such a feeling iteal inte your heart. Pluck it out, \fargharita, I charge you; pluck it ut by the roots! Think not of the yrong done to me, or, if you do, :hink of me not as a man and your unele, but as Count Leonardi di sead of your family. We have been fingers, and looked hurriedly into her face, "No; vou have had no chance, then? But you will have soon? Is it not s0? Soon, very soon?" She threw her arms around his neck. He made no response, nor did he thrust her away. He re- mained quite passive, "It is not that, uncle, to me. Do not thrust me away. cannot do this thing." He sat as still as marble. There was no change, no emotion in his face. Yet her heart sank within Oh, listen I er. i "Oh, listen to me," she pleaded passionately. "You do not know her as she is now. She is good and kind--a gentle-hearted woman. It was so long ago; and it was not out of malice to you, but to save the man she loved. You hear me, do you not? You are listening. She has not forgotten you. Often she sorrows for you It was cruel--I koow that it was cruel--but she was a woman, and she loved him. Let us steal away together and bury these dark dreams of the past. I will never leave you; I will wait upon you always, I will be your slave. Forgiveness is more sweet than vengeance. - Oh, tell me that it shall be so. Why do you not speak to me?" He sat quite still, like a man who is stunned by some sudden and un- expected blow. He semed dazed She wondered, even, whether he had heard her. ! "Uncle, shall it not 'be so?" she sha whispered. "Let us go away from here and leave her. Iam not he victims. but the day of our ven- thinking ahout him. 1 will not see Whips QF, him again. 1 will never areaw vr marying him, Let us go this vei» hour!" Then he turned slowly towa"y her, thrust her hand from aroun his neck, and stood up. . "You have ben false to me, Mar- gharita," he said, in a slow, quis tone. al. When you first came to me, I thought I saw your mother's spirit blazing in your dark eyes, and trusted you, I wag to blame, forgot the tradesman's blood, I do not curse you. You do no' under- stand, that is all. Learn now that the oath of a Marion is as deathless and unchangable as the hills of his native land. Will you go away at once, please? 1 do not wish to see you again." His speech so quiet, 30 self-con- tained, bewildered her. - There was not a gingle trace of passion or bit- terness in it. She stretched out her hands towards him, but she felt chilled. "Uncle, you--" "Will you go away, please?" he interrupted coldly. ; She turned toward the door, weeping. She had not meant to 20 far--only out on to the garden. seat, where she might sit and think. But he saw another purpose in her departure, and a sudden passion fir- ed him. She heard his step as he rose hastily, and she felt his cold fingers upon her wrist. . "You would go to warn her! he cried, his voice trembling with anger; "I read it in your face. You are as false as sin, hut you shall not vob me of the crown of my life! No one shall rob me of it! Ven. geance belongs to me, and by this symbol of my oath I will have it! He snatched a handful of white blossoms from the bowl, and crush- ed them in his fingers. Then he threw them upon the ground and trampled upon them. : "Thus did she betray the sacred bonds of oyr Order when, for her lover's sake, she added treachery to cunning, and wrecked my lite, made Lacnardo, Count of the Mar- jonis, the lopely inmate of prison wa'ls, the seorn and pity of all men. Thus &id she write Ler own fate upon a far fotaze page of the tah- lets of time. 'Talk to nie not of forgiveness or mercy, girl! My hate lives in me as the breath of my body, and with my body alone will it die!" : > '(Continued Tomorrow) BEARD WEARERS ENDURED MANY TRIALS IN PAST Russian Soldiers had to shave Because Enemise Grab- bed Facial Decor- ations Lendon.--The difference between the Chinese and the Russians is no- where more clearly seen than dn their faces. One can hardly picture a Russian nowadays without a bushy and unkempt beard nor a Chinese with even am incipent moustache. Whether or not all Bolshevists have bushy beards when at home is a matter that, for the comfort of the cartoonists, had better never be de- cided, If women be thought to have troubled too much about their hair, men in time past have troubled a ood deal too much about their eards. Parliaments have legislated about them, Czars have issued edicts about them and Church Councils have passed decrees about them. Men are very proud of their beards. There seems to be a stage in the life of every man at which, after deep deliberation and much consul |i tation, he decides to grow a mous- tache. He daily watches its progress |: for months, as hair after hair be- comes distinguishable above the sur- |: face of the soil. Sometimes, after weeks of weary waiting, he finds that. the moustache has turned out red and he has to shave it off. Some- times it develops gaps as it grows older and sometimes it is so feeble that the only person who ever knows about 'it is the producer. i Beards, at times, get their wearers into trouble. Tt was because enemies |. on the battlefield used to grasp his soldiers by the beard that Alexander the Great ordained that all ranks of his army should shave. The Czar, Peter the Great, taxed beards. There was a graduated scale of dues, de- |' pending not on the length or density of the growth, but on the ability to pay. Thus the wealthy man paid 100 roubles while the poor got off with a kopec. The tax was collected by customs clerks gates of the. cities and caught the earded one as he passed by. And all the while the Czar had no beard himself, t The occasion, however, on which beards gave their wearers the most trouble was onc that never took place. In 1538 there was a Bible published in France which interpo- lated a strange story into the 32nd chapter of Exodus where it deals with the Moses' condemnation of the Israelites for the worship of the gold- en calf. The Anthony Bonnemere Bible says that, after the calf was destroyed and its remains mixed with the drinking water of the Israelites, those of them who had bowed the knee to the idol were much per- turbed to find that the gold dust clung to their beards for ever and they were, always known afterwards as ex-idolators, {1929 Fall "After all, it 1s only matur-'|- who stood at the "oir ws Fair Dates ' io fall fairs for the comi- _ Dates of the Omari fall Jain. or A Ril tario Department of Agriculture ing season son of the as follows: .

Starting with only a handful -of men who met in secret the men's dress reform party has grown to a and true hearts dress conventions. The party at first confined its attack to the col- lar button, but later augmented its 3! platform to include the abolition of neckwear and long trousers. It is the party's ambition to win for harassed males the same freedom 11 of dress which women have achiev- ed. Doctors, lawyers, army officers and clergymen.are members of the organization. Even the Rev. Wil- "211 liam R. Inge, the "gloomy dean" of St. Paul's, joined the movement in -51| an optimistic mood. "We must do away with the col- lar stud and then with all the oth- dress," said Dr. Alfred C. Jordan, secretary of the party. "Look at men's eve- ning clothes--they are fit only for funerals. Why shouldn't a man wear an open-necked shirt in the evening--and knickers? "We don't need hats. We don't need neckties, and we don't need vests." Women are giving their moral support to the new party, although banned from membership. Dr. Oc- tavia S. Lewis, well-known woman physician, added the weight of sci- entific argument to the party's cause. "The man who wears a tight col- lar will never rise to the top of his profession," she declared. 'Tight collars cause more inefficiency tnan any other vice of modern life. "The trouble begins in the cra- dle and continues right through life. The throats of babies are constricted by tight bibs. Thus the brain cells are weakened almost from birth. "Men of genius tend loose and artistic neckwear. ron's collar and Shelley's to wear By- open shirts are cases in point. My con- »Favors Men's Dress Reform Idea tention is that they would not have been great poets.if they had wurn tight collars." - Dr. J. C, Flugel, assistant pro- fessor of psychology at: University College, London, also is approach-, ing the matter scientifically. He circulated 'a questionnaire: among more than 100 men and women and drew the following ¢conclu- sions: d "Only a small proportion of men consulted were satisfied with fa- shions as they are, while women on the whole are pleased with aeir clothes. Colored silk shirts with lapels and wide open collars would appear to be both comfortable and artistic. : "One of the greatest drawbacks of modern dress, apart from the tight collar, "is that you cannot take off any single garment withe out appearing unfit for polite soci- ety. The ideal dress would consist of a series of layers which could be taken off or put on without so- cial ignominy. "Evening dresses should include knee breeches and a more elabor- ate type of open shirt. The starche ed shirt should be entirely abolish= | ed." i i BANFF'S FAMOUS SPRINGS ¥ | The waters of the Sulphur Hot Springs at Banff, in Banff National Park, Alberta, are of great medici- nal value and are very similar in composition to the waters at Bath, England. 30 i f .
