But that had been Mary's way. She was not content to enjoy beauty alone. She had always pointed it out for less discriminating, less appreciative eyes, Jim looked at the silver-framed ple ture of his wife that stood on the huge fiat-topped mahogany desk before him, The little ruffled dress she had worn when the pleture was taken Was ne less light and airy than the pretty, smiling girl herself. It was Indicative of her attitude to life. Dor the ten years of their mar- ried life she ha langhed and danced and played, and when at times, in mo- ments of real need, he had turned to her she had been able to offer him only the star dust on her brightly hued butterfly wings, He read once more the lines of the Poem expressing the romantic ideas that the thought of youth's first love forever lingers in the heart. All at once there registered in the recess of his memory the look In Mary Me- Ghee's face when he had told. her that Claire Inman had promised to marry him, He recalled dimly how awkwardly tender he had felt toward the little girl to 'whom hre-had often made love dightly before the great and blinding passion for Claire had caused him to feel himself suddenly a grown man, with the desire to possess and cherish her filling his whole life, If Claire's fortune had had any- thing to do with his choice, he had tiled desperately to put the thought behind him, But sitting there by the window, years after, he winced a lit- tle at the memory of Mary McGhee's face, withs her heroically suppressed heart's secret blazing like a scarlet 'banner across her cheeks. For one terrifying second Jim had knowh and Mary McGhee knew he understGod. Then she had rallied and +. FOR SALE AT ALL DRUG warmly congratulated him, hoping we.

She had gone away before the wed- ding, and Jim remembered how strangely he had thought of her that June morning, of how she would have loved the madonna lilies and great banks of daisies that filled the house.

"rn be glad to have you and your good looks out of the way for a while. You know that advertising agency across the hall from our office? Well, they have a oew employee, a widow, to write ads for them, "Everybody in the bullding has fallen for her. She is not exactly beautiful, but the woman has something, a sort of subtle charm, that makes men just naturally gravitate to her. You have a feeling that she is thinking with you, anticipating everything you say, un- derstanding you--" "Why, Bill, I never heard you talk like this!" "Harlan Is worse than T am. "He's been sending her flowers for a .week and books of poetry and everything lke that. She's so darn sensible. You wouldn't believe a woman could be like that. Why, she writes stories and boems and things for magazines. This advertising business Is just a side line, She says there's so much money in it that she just can't turn it down, and then she likes to travel, she says, and meet new people all the time. "Gives her idegs! Belleve me, If she will take me along, I'll pay all the traveling expenses for both of us the rest of my life. Old Harlan says that If we can keep you out of the way for 8 while--you know how it 1s with wid- owers, Jim, when they do start out! We are just naturlly afraid of you--" Bill was laughing. "Anyway, I'm sure glad that you fell for our idea and that you are leaving town seon be- cause I'm going to try some quick work on Mrs. Mary." "So her name is--Mary? Jim won- dered why his heart thumped so hard. The grippe must have played havoe with him. "She's got a cute name, Mary Me- Ghee Martin. She signs her stuff Mary McGhee. Now, most women put on a lot of superior airs and say that their stories brought red cheeks and ev- erything, but she's different. They say old Norse pays her a whooping big price for her ads. Jim flicked the ashes from his cigar with a hand that trembled a little. "T'll be down to the office in the morn- ing," he. remarked casually, hoping that his heart was not pumping all the blood of his body into his face, as he felt it must be doing, from the heat In his throat and cheeks. "I'm not In any great hurr} to start on my little trip. Perhaps it will be pleasanter to go a little later on!" And something as subtly new and indescribable as spring magic itself quivered in his heart, S------ Bairnsfather's Feelings, \ The Blackfriars club gave a peace commemoration dinner recently at the Cafe Monico. Capt. Druce Bairnsfather, responding to the toast of "The British Imperial Forces," said that when he started drawing pictures he was merely interpreting what Brit. ish soldiers were feeling--what "Ole Bill" and "Bert" and "Alf" were think. ing and saying at the time. He drew his first picture at "Plug street," and he wrapped it up In an old newspaper and posted it to London and then for- got about it. In the course of time he received a letter and "Inside le found a check--the first he bad re ceived.--London Times. Virgin Timber in West, The forests of Western Oregon and Washington contain the largest reser. voirs of virgin timber left in the United States; and a large proportion of the lumber used by the country Comes from this region, says the American Forestry Magazine of Wash- ington, D.

Washington has, since 1805, held foremost place among the states in quantity of lumber produced ; Oregon now ranks third in production, but first in volume of standing timber, and it will not be Jong before the in. creasing annual cut will place her at the head, or next the head, of timber-pro- ducing states. > oy Tobacco Statistics. It is variously figured that 70 por cent of our adult male population and a third of our total population use to- bacco in one form or another. The man, woman and child is seven pounds & year. The average consumption among the tobacco users is twenty pounds. 'There are, according to one of the compilers of data, 25,000,000 Hi i per capita consumption, counting each |= Mrs. Annie Besant to Counter- act: Activities of Gandhi, " Radical Agitator. --{(By Mail.)--Mrs. a Paris, Aug. 2 who, 88 president of the International Theosophical Society presided over the first world congress of the society which has just closed" here, is hasten- mg back to India to counteract the activities of Gandhi, the radical agi tator, : > several disquieting cablegrams from Madras since sha had been in Europe, as to the activities of Gandhi. "Gandhi is getting desperate, and Hkewise losing his head," said Mrs, Besant, "and I must get back to my people as quickly as possible. They have great confidence in me, and I am sure I can in a large measure lead them away from the radical, vicious teachings of Gandi." The Indians, Mrs. Besant said, want home rule under the Empire, and want to attain their freedom through peadeable means rather than by violence, While this may not be [as far off as some think, India must be able to defend herself against ag- gression with native force rather than English before she is ready to take the reins of dominion govern- | ment into her own hands. | Great Britain, Mrs. Besant be- [ leves, is at last awakening to the | needs of India, is more sympathetic, and through the newly formed Na- tional Native Couneil, is granting many of the demanded feforms, Mrs. Besant expressed great ad- miration for Lord Reading, the Vice- roy, whom she said had shown sinte his arrival in India a profoundly sympathetic understanding of the Indian character, and she felt, would gradually further the cause of "Home Rule." Gandhi, whom she described as the Tolstoi of India, is losing his follow- ing, she said. He had preached boy- cott of schools, legal machinery, even hospitals, gaining for a time a tre- mendous following but, in all cases where the boycott was effective, many of the agitator's disciples re- turned to the schools, and utilized the legal machinery and medical aid. Revolution will never gain head- way in India, Mrs. Besant believes, first because the people are unarmed, secondly, because they do not want to gain political liberty that way, Mrs. Besant frankly talked of her internment during the war for her teachings and, with pride, said a large number of the reforms she has been striving for are gradually being granted.
