Possibly it was his eyes, "It's up to you, Paul," he said in a voice that was sin Pleasing. You out of this marriage, but I want to warn you and be sure you are not making a mistake--as I did once." The last four words sigh, and the father leaned glow from the fireplace play about the handsome, clean-cut face of his son. "I am sure, father," the son said, with a note of finality, "I love this girl of the wilderness, You should | see her romp through the woods, her j cheeks aglow with health.

"It al] sounds very rosy, this love talk," observed, his father, and there Was a touch of bitterness in his voice, "but it doesn't always _work out that way, Look at my owil case. I don't care to talk of it as a rule, but it's a sample of what one gets for marrying beneath his level. Your mother was a lovable, good girl, but she had not been 'educated in my ways of thinking. In many ways the case parallels yours. Your mother would not get along in the society to which I was accustomed. Like this girl yon think you love, she was fond of the woods and she wanted me to spend my life in them, I could not reconcile myself t5 it, because I love the noise and bustle of the city. The silence of the woods drives me frantic. But I consented to try it, and built a habitation ia the woods; not a modern structure, as I desired, but a rustic log house to suit your mother's fancy. I could not endure the solitude ana finally one night we quarrell.d; ani a ter- rible quarrel 't was! It was rain- ing, and thunder and lightaing pune- tuated every sentence that was ut- tered. In fairness to your mother, whom I loved in spite of our incom- , patibility, T must say that I did most of the quarrelling. She simply sat and looked into my face with those gentle blue eyes and let me rave, I never told you this before, because --because it was pretty hard for me; but now, when you are considering | choice. not refrain from bringing it up as an example. But it is hard. The silver hair was buried in the man's arms. * "The next morning I left the house with you," he went on, more compos- ed. You cannot remember it, for you were only a year and a half old and I had to carry you in my arms. I sneaked out of the cabin with you bundled in a blanket before Ethel, your mother, was awake. I did not return for three months, and when 1 did, repentant, I found nothing but ashes to mark the spot where we had tried to live. And never was I able roun'. --CLARA W.
