at a seaside hotel one has nothing else to do you know mojlio answered lee with a light little ripple of laughter end he looked down on the pretty face to which the moon light was so tender bis voice sinking to al most a whisper as he spoke to her i i is a cowardly pastime for a man hesa d softly and for a woman it is a cruel one agiiiu she laughed while arranging the brace et on her arm a touch of mockery was i the rippling laugh aud you is it pleasant to know that you are cruel or cowardly sli 3 questioned one is temptedto become pe rbonal when such remarks come from odo who is said to count his conquests with a cruel pride and to whom the world gives no higher aim than to fascinate and remain careless am i too plain forgive me i forgive you freely as i vyould forgive yon all things miss annes but neither you npr the world fully understand me i may ieem a trifler but were the woman i love to love mo in return no smile would be to me so sweet as hers no presence half so dear i mollie had been watching the couple on the sands going slowly back and forth in the moonlight now she lifted her sweet young face and looked at him with a sort of woiidering pity do we all wrong you then she ask ed gently have you failed iu your avoo- ing i can you not win where yon love his face flushed a little at her words and she watchipg it was struck by its strength and beauty how did it

himself i facing ned tremuine and laura iovel who were com ing in from the moonlight and be noticed that t le young mans face was quite white while there was a balfsoornful smile oh the lips of the fair belle of the seaside but the tw 0 couples passed eaoh other in silence the 01 e going down to the stretch of glitter ing sa id the other going in to the dancers a v eek later and mollie had just come 111 from a long hour peaceful and calm spent with lee in a quiet nook among the rocks that overhung the ocean he had been reading to her there some of the sweet est poems given to the world by genius hoi- heart had thrilled as he read and new strange feelings had stirred it when he closed the book he had looked up and found tier eyes filled with tears and now in her own room she was asking herself how it was that what she had but commenced for the purpose of aunoying ned had in one brief week slain all her old i resentment against miss lovel and made her thoughts tuin constantly not to ned tremaine who was her affianced husband but to lee stone wbp was termed the greatest male fliit at the beach what was changing in her life when she now met ned and laura it did not pari her as it used was it because a handsomer face a stronger and nobler face then neds was constantly near ready to turn to her with devotion ready to light if she smiled a servant bioko her panderings by bring ing her two messages one a bouquet of white flowers with a few feathery bprays of fern among their whiteness and one crim son rose gleaming red from their center aud in it was a note from lee askingi her to go for a drive with him by moonlight the other was a few angry lines from ned asking ifjshe remembered that she was be trothed tojpm while she allowed every gos sip at the hotel to chatter of her flirtation with lee stone 1 i have been patient waiting an oppor tunity of speaking to you he wrote but 1 4 you will nofgive nje one so i wrote to ask lee blood sht you if you wish our engagement broken to all it would ieem so she trembled a little as she read aud her sweet face changed color but she went to her desk drew from it every letter he had ever sent her formed them and his ring iu a package and wrote him the fol lowing note it was i who was first taught patience while my existenoe was forgotten for one who was what you bade me become a oharaoter why should i fancy tbat you wished an interview with me of late itia not so long since you could not spare a mo ment for mefrom miss lovel do i wish our engagement broken perhaps we j both wish it ned at least let us break it since i so displease you i send you your letteis and ring then although a choking sensation vas iu her throat she penned a brief note to leo i will be pleased to go with you that was all aud iu the star light the hioou rose late she went with him out over the beach find far alodg the country was it strange that be noticed bile no louger wore neds ring was it strange that be told her of his love add that she listened silently believingly with a strange flutter at her heart was it strange that when they drove baok lingering beside the sobbing ocean another ring should deck her ringer and another bond should lie upon her life well two others walked i upon the strand two whom the gossi is called lovers and yet when it was told that mollie annes was to place ber happiness in the keeping of the flirt of the beach one man who heard it tamed white as death and shrank from the sight of the beautiful woman beside him although men called her fair and many said she bad won him from bis faith yet mollie

the world have been made they were not born so they have been made utof brightfaced children with clear nyes and puie sweet breath and strong steady 1teps and happy voices- children who im ver meant wbe drankards and who never vould have been if they bad taken solomoni advice he says there is only one way to be safe andjthat is not io begin to let tin 1 wine alone not even to look at it he lays lool not thou upon the wine when it is red when it giveth its color in the ip when it 1 moveth itself aright at the last it bitethlike a serpent and stingeth hks an odder this red wiui that sparkles 111 the cup and has a pleas mt taste is like a beautiful serpent that is moving its beautiful coils and getting real iy to bite you a cluster of ripe grapes is a beautiful thing and when you crush the g rapes in your mouth and swallow the del cious pulp you are taking what is harjnlei s and nourishing but if you squeeze out this delicious juiqe and let it btand a very j ew hours it begins tochange a part of it turns into the poison that is called alcohol all that could nourish and feed your body is destroyed and the juice becomes wine ust such wine as solomon said bites like a serpent if you eat in apple the juice that is ground out by y our teeth is exactly the same as that which is crushed out by a oider- mill it is who esome and nourishing and you like it b cause it is mixed with the spicy pulp but what is called sweet cider is the ss me juice that has stood few days until 1 1 has begun to work that means that a pirt of it has changed into the same poison thi it makes it no longer nour ishing but daiigerous the more of the poison that is i 1 it the more it sparkles and the better it i mits the taste of thosej who have learned hi tie by little to love itj so when people sa fto you what harm can there be in the juice of grapes or in sweet cider you ca 1 answer them no harm at all if you take them just as god made them butihi juiceb of the grapes and the juices of the appleb begin tochange as soon as they are cru shed out and the poisonous alcohol is form id and then there fs always harm in it if you weie dying of thirst it might be wortl while to take a drink from a spring that y ou lmew was impure and unhealthy bu t with so many good things toeat and dim 5 m the world do you think it is sensible to drink what may have poison in it just because you are not sure it has if you let all cider alone yeu will be sure never to drink the wrong kind or let your example lead a lyone else to do so that is about what 3 would say on the cider ques tion if i were a boy or a girl and when i had made up my mind isvouldstickto that of coursewhal ever any one else said qi did why one my neighbors at great trouble and expense h is all his water brought from a distance altl ough he has a well in his own yard tl evwater looks pare and tastes pure but he ki iows some wells have poison in them and he thinks it quite possible his may have and so he lets it alone is he not mor sensi ble than his neighbor who went on dnnling the water because he could not see anything wrong with it until half hib family were attacked with typhoid fever if you mean to take solomons advice and not even s op to look at this dangerous enemy that c n seem so harmless at first and yet sting 1 ke a serpent afterward you must remembf r and not go with those who drink wine dont be found among
