"And don't you think you would he happier," Kllen jfursned sweetly, "don't you think you would he hap^ pier, if he loves you, and you--" "Me don't love me," Lizzie interrupted sullenly. . "Hut you said--*•" ~~~ "1 said li^'d marry me!" The blood came to Kllen's face, and she sat hack, feeJing a little, sick. She had "read of the old tragedy a thousand times, but how much iwore poignant was this fir« encounter with it. this sickening realization ef wnat it means to the woniKn to sue! She had loved, and she had given, ynd now it was tiis r->yal prerogative to lift her up, and make her "honest," or to, drive her to' self-murder. All. life was hard enough for the Kllens, who keep a man's Tespect. but lose his love. But for the Lizzies--i . "Lizzie," she asked timidly. . "Are you--you're not--?" . Lizzie had dried her swollen eyes, and their misery was turned toward Kllen, "No, ma'am," she answered, with returning self-control, "if there w:is a baby coming I'd ifiarr.v him tomorrow. Hut he--he's a.good man, Mrs. Jossel. vn, and he'd-never be anything but shamed and kept down by a girl like me. And wo done what we done like .children might do something wrong,' poor Lizzie added, wjth her eyes brim ming again, "'and all the time ht\was fn love with another Indy-- I knew he was, hut he didn't kffow himself how he ha'l come to think about her--and so when we--when we said we wouldn't six; each other no more, I thought that it was all over and done with--ex<vpt for the way I felt.

I didn't want to go with any , of the other boys, and I kep' feeling what if T should marry somo day, and have a little girl--" She began to cry again softly. Ellen, whose face had" grown ashen,'sat star Ing r.t her blindly. Her heart was pounding; her brain in a whirl. She had heard tfi.we terms before--Lizzie had been Aunt Kisie's maid through an illness last winter-- "When was this, Lizzie?" she asked, clearing her throat. r "Last winter, Mrs. Jossolyn." "Look at me," Kllen said, after a pause. "Look Tit me, Lizzie. Was It Joe? Was It Mr. Latimer?" She saw the answ'er In Lizzie's eyes before the girl said quickly: "No. ma'am 1 Oh, no. ma'am f* Elien could smile juidly as she shook her head. "He told irje about It, Lizzie. He told me all about it. but he didn't say It was you; I'm so sorry. I'm so desjwrsitely sorry. . Yoa--you do love him?" "Oh, my G--d. how could I 4ielp it?" the girl answered, with sudden violence.

"And Joe come, in.*? pursued Lizzie. "It was after nine, but he hadn't had his su[>|ier. And bin) and me went out and got something to eat--" Her voice fell. Kllen did not speak. "He's going to marry Miss Lathrop," Lizzie said presently. • juit that can't stop nie .loving hint, and remembering how he'd laugh when he was building the breakfast lire -and how 1 felt about him! - I-.thought then we might get married, although J always knew U wouldn't be rjght for Joe--and she's rich, and all that, and--and of course' he loves her--" She stopped, spending, staring drearily ahead of her. Kllen was silent, too. Hut she kept one warm friendly little hand tight ovfer Lizzie's hand, and In her troubled-fa& there, was no hint of reproach. "¥«8 say b» lora berV* stM sold, thoughtfully, after awhile. "I think he does, too, In a way, lint he has been most unhappy about this, Lizzie; I've seen it, only I didn't understand.

V . j ' Thus Ellen, reaching for soiti«J guiding principle through all these mazes. "Well! Some* one will come in and find us here," she said, with sudden decision. "Gp upstairs and bathe your P.WS, Lizzie, and get Tommy ready for lunch. And don't worry, I'm going to think it all-out!" Comforted, the girl escaped, 'and Ellen ate her lunch In thoughtful mrtod, and afterward walked with Tonmfy to the station a mile away. She suld nothing to any one at the house, but when they were on the road she told Tommy that they,were going to meet Uncle Joe. *Uow 'J' know he was cQmln'J"Jk>mihy demanded. "I telephoned 'him, dear." Ellen was excited: she trotted Tom's small legs along in a spirited fashion. Joe, descending from the train, complimented them upon their cheeks. "Of course you thm't_ understand," Ellen echoed his greeting as-she kissed him. "But I'll explain. Joe,., I didn't bring the ear because I' want to talk to you, by myself. Trot ahead. thereP Tom. It's about Lizzie, Joe." His holiest, kind eyes Hew to hers consciously. "She told you?* "She was going to kill herself Joe." He walked along at her side for ten paces without speaking. "My G--d--my G--d !" he said then, under his breath. And, after another silence, he said, suddenly and lirmly: "I'm sorry, Kllen. I know how you and Gibbs will feel. Hut 1 can't stand it any longer. Perhaps other men can do it: I can't. Cm going away--get a job somewhere--and she's going with me. it's the only way, for me. She's a iK'tter woman than I am a man, because she gave herself where she loved. I thought I'd cut everything, and get out for awhile, but now I see that this is the way out. Til go and I'll take Lizzie. \\fr?'ll go .now. I'll make It up to Lizzie, somehow!" J<',e, I love you!" Ellen said, tears and laughter In her voice. "I think, tha-t's. the only way out! 1 know that you'll be glad sotne day." ^lalf an hour later she sent Lizzie out to the gatt'-oh some pretext, and Lizzie did not come back for almost two hours. When she did come, Ellen was playing with Tommy, and Tommy's stone blocks, on the nurserytable. "Mrs. Josselyn," Lizzie said,, coming close to her, and laying one hand on Ellen's arm. "1 hope Clod'will make up to you what you done for me. I don't deserve you should treat me like his--but I'll never forget it! Mrs. losselyn, we've been talking--and he's just gone down to get the four oVioek train--and he says we are to be married. And:if God helps tne--If God helps tut--I'll ninke him the best wife--!" And Lizzie, turning her back suddenly, began to cry again. Hut Ellen knew that these were tears of joy. Her own mood was the more sober of the two as she went slowly to hey.own rooui. "The ri^ht thing is not always the easy thing." she mused apprehensively. ' Now- she m'tisf face Glbbs with this extraordinary news. And Gibbs, inlolerant of Joy always, would find in ibis a complete confirmation 0f hjs poor opinion of the youtiger man. George" Lathrop's dearest dream shattered, Harriet ntul a fortune flung aside, and Joe and a village girl, ungramhiatlcal' and unlettered, off to be ui.irried; the summary was disheartening Indeed., A:id yet tinder all her uneasiness Ellen's heart was singing with the joy of a decision wisely made, ahd a hard step bravely taken. She left Lizzie tremulously sndling. and building Tommy such a tower as never had gladdened his eyes before, and went downstairs to the Study. Her father-in-law was alone there, dreaming over a fire and a book, and smiled as she came In. Lillian had gone off with Mabel I'ointdexter for dinner, he explained, and would be there all night. Ellen, seating herself, seemed to feel a certain lightening In the atmosphere with Lillian's departure. Presently Gibbs came In, silent and gloomy, to find them having tea. He declined Ellen's brief, civil offer with equal brevity and cold civility. He answered his father's questions, delivered dryly, with patient monosyllables, and followed his wife upstairs to make himself presentable for the informal dinner. In their room, Ellen nervously broached the subject of Lizzie He was surprised, but his comments Amazed her with their mildness, and be brought a pang of strange, unfamiliar pleasure to her heart by his final summary: "I think you did right. Joe's not the first puin who has made a fool of himself, but they may J»lt< it off, after ail. She's Just as apt to make him a good wife as'that empty-headed little Harriet. I respect him for doing Ellen.; sitting at • her dressing table, felt a wave of happiness, almost weakening in its intensity, pass over her. To have him approve her again--to have the ice of the past months show the least break-- He whs sitting Ijy the fire. Now, glancing: at-liim through her mirror, she saw him drop his hejid Intp his hands. "Mone^I" she heard him ^say moodily. "What good would It do him? What good has It done any of us? I wish to God we had never come here! I wish to God we had stayed in Paris!" Why did they go downstairs eprlter than usual that night? Ellen never could remember. She remembered that they had not dressed, and that at about six o'clock slw was following Gibhs down the wide, open stairways# when his father' came across the lower hall toward them. The old man held the evening paper that Gibbs had brought from the city. In his hand. Ellen, on the landing, stopped short, aghast at the dark, angry suffusion of blood In his face. "Look here Just a minute, will you, Glbbs?" his father said In a shaking voice. Ills effort to control It gave it almost the effect of a shriek. Glbbs ran down the last stairs, and joined "I'll Stop You, by G--d! I'll Kill You Before I'll, Listen, to You!" bltn at once, bending over the paper as his fatheir brought it to his attention. Ellen, standing where she was, und looking down upon tlietn, telt.herself beginning to tremble. Gibbs road the Indicated lines jnd faced his father. He seemed to tower over the old man. • "Well, what about It?" he asked at length, after a frightful silenj-e. Tlie. two were measuring each other like wrestlers, Gil>1>s' eyes hard und angry, his father's, look the soul of all that was suspicious and revengeful. Ellen did not hear the old man's ar swer, which came In a quick, furious undertone nor what - he said again, after Gibbs had t»atle an ugly -response. Their faces were close together, and they looked straight Into each other's eyes as they spoke. -The sound of their tense, harsh voices. In this beautiful hall of so maqy perfect silences, seemed to ETlen full of sudden terror and menace. "You're telling a delilierate falsehood !" she heard the old man snarl, rtpd something was added to which Gibbs answered. In a measured, grating voice: "You shall not >ay that! IJy G--d. no man shall say that to me!" i And suddenly the dignified custom | of the years dropped from both! and •X*X*X*X*X*>X':X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X-> Both Birds and Animals Subject to Epidemics Dr. Herbert Kox. pathologist of the Philadelphia zoo and head of the Pepper laboratory at the university, has written a book on the diseases of wild iinima's and bird*.

Many of the city fathers thought it u public scandal, but they didn't have a hig enough appropriation »to employ speciul police. The village halfwit, however, felt that he could solve the problem. He offered to do it for a can of black paint and two dollars. Cine of the town fathers was rash enough to fur nish tiios'3 requisites.

The storm had come so suddenly, and' from so clear a sky. that Ellen had had no time to run for help, no time to think. She stood where she was, one hand gripping the carved dark Wood of the rail, the other pressed against her heart. "Oh, don't!" she whispered, unheard. "OI»t what is it?" • "* She caught the words **. . yon hound . . . you liar! Betraying your own father . . . lying youi way out of It like a common . . .**| and then everything was unintelligible again until Gibbs, hearse with passion, shouted suddenly: "I'll stop you, by G---d I III fc'II you before I'll listen to youi.« , . I ' l l s t o p y o u . . .I " "Oh, no, Gibbs!" £he half-sobhed, from the landing, seeing 'the threatening gesture. In the same instant the old man g~oped blindly for an Ivory scimitar that lay on the hall table, a beautiful thing supposedly, a bookknife, hut measuring some two feet in length, and very heavy. Then suddenly it wai all over. Silence fell in tlie hall, and cutting tlu-ough it Kllen /heard- the gasp of a maid. Torrens and some of the girla had come running in. Gibbs, with an ugly sneering smile on his lips, stumbled back, clearing with his hand a flowing skin-wound In his forehead. His face, under the trickling red, was ghastly. The old man, steadying himself with one hand op the table, stood panting and staring wildly at him. T "By G--<1, you ought to he killed . , my rhother's name . .a fight like this!" Gibbs spoke thickly, his breast heaving. "If any other man had said t h a t . . . " [ "You get out of my house!" the old man answered, in a quivering whisper. "Get out of my house--do you hear?" "I'll get out of your house!" his son ariswered bitterly. As he strode toward the big closet the maids murmured and drew back from hiin. "I'll get out and I'll take my wife and child tomorrow!" he said, surlily. "Gibbs, deur!'! Ellen had run down the stairs, and was clinging to hie arm. "Gibhs, dear. It's your father I Don't speak so!" He took .her hand from his arm, but not roughly, and for a moment looked t>t her vaguely. "He had taken an overeoat from the closet, and had hip cap In Ids hand. "Gibbs. you'll come hack!" she begged urgently as he turned toward the door. "When you're cooler. Glbbs --you mustn't quarrel with your fa ther--" She saw that In the whirl of his passion he couid not hear her, or could not understand ther. But at the door he seemed suddenly to notice Torrens, and lie turned back. "Here's your chauffeur," he said, bitingly, to his father. "Why don't y<!u ask him where your wife was that night? ^Why don't you ask him whether lie left her In Great Neck, or whether she took a train for the city? You remember the night of the storm, Tnnvns: .where did you leave Mrs Josselyn that night?" . , "I took her to Mrs. Pepper's house In Great Neck, sir," the man said, eager and uneasy. "I'efore we laiif the car up, we went there, sir." Gibbs gave one last look at IjilS,father, Shrugged his shoulders, and >jas gone. The noise of the slamming heavy door died away, ahd there was silence. The maids stood grouped together at the dining room door, their eyes terrified. Josselyn, Senior, was still keeping one fine old hand on the table for support, his eyes tlxed unseelngly upon a spot on the floor a few feet away, his head hanging. Eilen was the lirst to move. She gave the maids a quick look that dismissed thein, and went to put her arm about the old man's shoulders. "Come Into the study," she commanded him, as if he bad been Tommy. She was trembling herself and her heart-was be.iing violently. This burst «>f priii'lfive fury, this rending of o 1! the '-areful structure of years, had left her shaken anil shocked. "Smiles and politeness and explanations for years," thought Ellen, "and then suddenly--this!" The old ipan sank into a chair by the., tire and leaned wearily hack with dosed eyes. For a while they were silent.: Ellen, watching her father-ml. iw anxiously, saw that he was breathing more evenly, and gradually regaining his self-control. "I struck him, Kllen--1 struck him!" he said suddenly, resting his head In his bands, and his elbows on bis knees, ile looked old, and strartgely broken. "I saw It in that accursed paper," he went on. "that Lindsay Pepper and his mother had gotten back yesterday from visiting }he sister in Montreal. And'It all ^ame over me In a Hash-- I thought he and Lillian had made the lie up bet-ween them." "But you remember that Torrens, that very morning in the studio, said that he had just come in from Great Neck." she said soothingly. "I'd forgotten it!" he answered, stricken. "I know how?Gibhs feels about Lillian," Ellen said gravely, In % low tone. "But Gibhs wouldn't do that! Oil, no, he wouldn't!" she added, half to herself. And as he gave her a miserable look, everything that was sane and motherly in her came to tTie surface. "Now, let's not worry about it," she said, cheerfully. "Glbbs was too angry to be reasonable, but I begged him to come back, and I know that as soon as he's worn off some of his temper. ne will. Then you can explain It to him: it isn't," Ellen added innocently. "it isn't as if be hadn't rather lost his head over Lillian, you know, he has something to blame himself for there!" •'You've known it all along," Josselyn. Senior, commented thoughtfully, with a shrewd look; (TO BE CONTINUED.) A Fourth of Juh) - ^/'Santa Clans ^ ; ^ : ©y Eleanor E. Kin$ * (®. 1*14, We€>rn Newap«p«r Caioa.) T WAJJ the great day of the Fourth of July, and Tommy, like all the other seven children of the busy AJilster family was out bright and early. Tomifly had a g^eat friend In the lady next door. So, Tommy had learned, and, by tlie way, kept It s safe secret from the rest of the troop, that when hip stomach growled too loudly, if he were to go ' > next door he most always could get a piece of tlTe best bread and jam«^and perhaps run an errand or two for her to ease his conscience. Tommy, bright ahd ° early,, had found bis way oyer to Mrs. Asklns', as be called her. She was busy getting ready to go to a picnic. "You see, Tommy," she explained In answer to his questions, "this man who is coming with his car to take us out to his hotfse.where we are t<V have our picnic, is an old chum of Mr Haskins. As they loaded the things Into the car Tommy trooped along and Was Introduced to Mr. Miller. While they stood there Tommy spied 'a balloon man comtng down the street. As the noise of the horn grew nearer. Tommy's eyes enlarged. "Aren't those whoppers, though,? Tommy sighed. "Gee!" "Wouldn't you like one, Tommy?" suggested Mr. Miller, digging Into his pocket. "Now, I'll tell you. Tommy, if you know my name next year when I come after these folks on the Fourth. I'll buy you another balloon. It was almost Christmas now, and Tommy was once more in :he Hasklns kitchen, watching preparations for another feast, but of a different sort. The most wonderful pies, cakes and puddings were being evolved. Suddenly, Tommy burst forth: . "Say, Mrs. 'Askins. do ^ >U remember what that uian said?" "No. Tommy; what 'itf# you thinking about?" - / "Do you suppose he will come hack? You know he bought me a balloon, and said IX I remembered his name he would buy me another when he came back." "Of course he will," said Mrs. Hasklns. "Oh, I am so glad. My mother she just says I am silly when I ask her and says,"I am too busy to be bothered with'that. Hun along, now !' And you know," Tommy hastened to add, "I haven't forgotten his name either, it's Mr. Miller." That night Mr. Miller dropped In for a minute at the Hasklns'.

About ytX) years ago the lord of the' manor bequeathed the sum of £1.0(10. the Interest from which was to he voted annually, to provide dowries for lour brides. Under the terms of the bequest the money has to be divided between the youngest, the eldest, the shortest and the tallest brides married during the course of each year in tiie parish church. This entails the "measuring of the bride." After the marriage ceremony the bride and bridegroom proceed to vestry to sijrn the register and the bride is then measured by the olliciatng minister.
