"Lomg engagements seldom terminate happily." "Don't they?" inquired Miss Morri- #on provokingly. "I have never had any experience." * "Neither have I," returned Fairchild indignantly, "I speak from observa- tion. Don't keep me in suspense, but tiame the day, won't you?' "Why, Lawrence, we're just engag- ed!" opposed the girl coyly. "We shouldnt talk about marrying for a year at least." "I'm going to Chicago next month," declared Fairchild emphatically, "and shall expect you to be all ready to mar- ty me then." "I"11 never marry in Chicago," assert- ed Beatrice positively. "I just hate that town." "Then why not marry me here?" pleaded her lover, taking her hand and gazing earnestly into her dark blue eyes, "Yon have no relatives to con- gult, nor have I. We can do as we please, and no one can object." "Oh, that would be impossible! Why, 1 wouldn't have time to get ready." "You don't need any more clothes If that is what you mean," argued Fair child. 'You had seven big saratogas with you when you came to Ocean Vii- la and have worn a different gown every time I have seen you, which has not been seldom, to say the least." "1 know, but"-- Fairchild, however, would listen to mo objections 'dnd pleaded so eloquently that Miss Mor- rison finally agreed to marry him the following Thursday, The news of the approaching wed- ding was soon circulated among the guests of the fashionable Ocean Villa, and many were the congratulations and well wishes extended to the prospec- tive bride and groom. These manifes- tations of good feeling were not un- mixed with some traces of envy. "I don't see what Mr. Fairehild sees in that Beatrice Morrison," declared Amanda Sparks, who had entertained more than a friendly regard for the prospective young Benedict. "She's as HIS SUBPRISK. plain as 2 pipestem, and all her clothes don't give her the slightest style." "It's her money he's after," asserted Leslie Warren, who had made dill gent inquiries inte Miss Morrison's financial standing. 'Mrs. Reckingham pays she's as rich as can be, owns all sorts of land and warehouses in Chi- cago" "Mr, Fairchild is very wealthy," as- serted Miss Sparks indignantly, "and k He spends his money just lavishly. He's not marrying for money, that's sure." "Neither is Miss Morrison," retorted 'Warren. "She's not plain, but just the reverse in my opinion; much better looking fer a than F hid is for & man." + Despite these and sundry other ad- versé criticiems, hewever, the course of true Jove ran smooth, and on the appointed day Lawrence Fairchild and Beatrice Morrison were married. A shart trip to Niagara was planned, and bridal couple returned te "ment tore 1 Dever 'you I wag rich, and I'm sure you't tiathin] "No, you never did, but I thought you were, all the same," returned Fafrehild, who had pulled himself to-| gether by this time and was fgcing her with a grim smile upon his lips. "I guess it's about time for a perfect understanding. Beatrice, I'm as poor as Job's turkey, or poorer, if that was possible. All I have in this wide world is a small clerkship Mj Bm store." "But the automobile and the money you spent like water?' gasped his wife, her tears subsiding as she gazed at him in utter bewilderment. "Every- body said you were immensely rich." | "That's what they said about you, my dear," returned Fairchild senten- tiously. "As for my automobile, it was borrowed from a friend who went abroad for the summer, and, as for the cash I have been wasting so extrava- gantly, it was the savings of years. 1 made up my mind fo have one good time this summer and see how it felt to be rich, so 1 just came down here." "With the purpose of marrying a rich girl, I suppose," interposed his wife, struggling to regain her composure. "To be frank, that was my purpose," admitted Fairchild laconically. "Didn't you come here with the design of mak- ing a good match?' Mrs. Fairchild nodded. "Well," eontinued her hus- band brightly, "we have both drawn a blank in the marriage lottery so far #8 money is concerned, haven't we? We are married, nevertheless, and, money or no money, I love yeu, little woman. Let us be happy, anyway." | "Money isn't everything, Lawrence," whispered Mrs. Fairchild tenderly: "we've had our good time, and now we have each other."

He obtained from Sparta assurance of personal safety and went hither. He delighted and charmed the Spartans, as he had the Athenians ia his earfier years. He adopted their customs and dress and was the strict- est Spartan of them all. Ie wore his hair short, bathed In the icy waters of the Kurotes and ate their black broth and barley bread. They believed that he had been misrepresented. In truth, as Plutarch said, "he changed color more quickly than a chameleon." In Sparta he was grave. 'emperate and fond of physical exercise; in Ionta he was easy going, luxurious and mer- ry; in Thrace he was drunkem, in Thessaly he was devoted to horseman- ship, and in the court of the Persian satraps he surpassed Tissaphernes himself in magnificence. As Sparta was to be the prizé of the Athenian victory, he showed the people thelr danger, advising them to begin active operations against that city.
