Dorothy said plaintively with her most fetching glance. Her sole auditor, J. Hubert King. Esq.," accepted the tribute at face value, though lie made a pretense of deprecation with, "That's Just your awfully too-kindness".* "Impossible," said Miss Dorothy, with accent deserving italics. "I've, watched and studied you ever sincP you came, trying to pick a flaw. Tell me--is there anything--anything »t all--you really can't do?" ^ "That remains to be seen," J. Hubert answered with a significant look. Dorothy dropped her eyes, murmuring delicately: "When yoq, see--wonH you please tell me?" Mlf you projpise not to sympathise," from J. H., eswaylng the subtle. She clapped her hands crying Joyously: "Instead I shall felicitate you. It must be dreadfully lonesome--this being in a class by yourself." She was, "you percelvfe, wholly devoid of conscience--at least where the male of her species, oozing fatness, conceit and wealth, was concerned. J. Hubert was truly as perfect a specimen of tha> gentleman strictly handmade as was ever turned out by tutors, tailors, masters of ea,ch social grace, as ever admired himself in the finest^ French plate mirrors. He was indeed the supreme achievement of his worthy parents--plus the millions thriftily accumulated in the cloak and suit trade.

It spoke well fqr, his native fiber. Dorothy, In the raslipess of youth, dl<l not see that the superpolisli masked a real man. His conceit offouded her. also amused her--she felt It rather the part of womanly duty to abate it. Therefor# she played will o' the wisp, letting him approach within firms' length, then dancing, glancing. beyond rr.ich or comprehension. Now and then unkindly, she treated herself to flattering him to the toj* of his bept. He purred under It so ftaive^ ly, it was worth while. Besides she truly owed him something for the or chids, motor parties, candy and ao on wherewith he had strewed her path since he dawned upon the scene. Six hours later Dorothy came to a crucial, vital moment she pever forgot. She b^nt to hear a feeble voice say from swathing bandages j "Please marry me! At once--they will come too late--I want to leave them--something In my place." It was King who Implored. He had saved a child from death under a lum berlng motor truck and been crashed In doing It--fatally crushed, said the surgeons. Struggling back to consciousness* he had asked for her--his people were a thousand miles away. Twelve hours of life remained to him by the word of wisdom. Dorothy alone dared to gainsay It She caught his one free hand in both her ow% saying clearly: "Listen! It will be harder to tire than die--bat better worth while, too must not talk of marriage nor think of dying. I shall stay here to prevent It. A hero does not shrink from Anything--" "You--you mean you won't be my wife?" the weak voice half robbed. "Not now. Weed's wouldn't In the least become me," Dorothy flashed back. "Get well. Give your whole mind to It, then we'll talk further about it I can't let you think so III of me as that I would make a deathbed bargain." "Will you promise?" Ring began. She cut him short with: "Only to stay with you until l ean tell your mother you are going to live--to be the man she has given the world. You have no right to «ulk, because you are suffering tortures. Fighting is a mansize Job. I know you can do U--and you must." The nurse t*ed to check her, the surgeon looked gravely concerned But his young assistant murmured half under breath: "Good work!" He looked at Dorothy covertly--there seemed to him a halo^abouf her golden head. "I believe she'll keep him here until the old folks come," he whimpered to the surgeon as together they left the room. "If she does it will be a miracle." was all the ettier man said Miracles ate still possible. King woke from three hours' sleep, distinctly better. Throughout the hours Dorothy had sat holding his hand, willing him with all the ardor, the contrition of her Impetuous soul, to make the man fight she knew lay ahead. All night she stuck to her post. And In the gray morning she had her reward--the sick man seeing her against the dawnglow, -murmured: "I am coming up-- from hell--by help of--an angel." In a month he was well enough to be moved--there was hope that in a year he might walk freely? though full stcength was too much to hope for. His father and mother bepouglit Doro thy to go home with them--the savior-wife of their son, for whom all the world was not euflScient reward.

A cafeteria sapper was-served at 5 o'clock, to which there was a large attendance, after which an outdoor pageant of living pictures entitled, /"Following the Gleam," was the entertainment of the evening. This pageant was given at "8 o'clock in the spacious yard of the Woodman hall and was thex closing event of Ringwood's reunion day. Stage Pageant The pageant was a very elaborate one, requiring much preparation for its fulfillment,. and it was ot much interest and entertainment to aH who saw it. The story of the pageant depicted in fifteen pictureM mun'i climb through the ages toward the <£ht and civilization. Beginning wlv> primitive war in the paleolithic age, it showed man clothed in skins builling his altar and worshiping in fear, afraid of the thunder and lightning. Following is shown the period of Vyi* man sacrifice, when Abraham offer* up his son, Isaac, and then the pyiod of idolatry as the Israelites worship the golden calf. Coming up to the birth of Christ and the dawn of a' new dispensation the manger and wise men are shown, then the discovery of America was shown by the landing of Columbus, the landing of the Pilgrims, life with the Indians in their native** dress and the interchange of trinkets for corn; then the years of slavery were depicted by the negroes picking cotton while the southern songs were sung, selling of a slave on the auction block and the entrance of Abraham Lincoln, with his proclamation and frees the slaves. The eleventh picture was one which gripped the heart, as a' drunkard's home with its poor furnishings and the children crying for bread, was shown in the ^re-prohibition day4^ the next picture of woman suffragi was shown as the saloon, with hs suf fering faded in the background. The years advanced to the time of the world war, where the boys in khaki were seen around their campfires and their tents and this scene, as always, was a popular one with the spectators as it brought a thrill of patriotism to all. Next was seen the peace conference followed by the last picture which brought the thread of the story to grand finale in world brotherhood. Representations from nearly every nation of the world dressed in most striking native and appropriate costumes united in one great brotherhood, giving the pageant the national color and historical significance that could not help but hold the interest of all who saw it. No efforts Were spared in making the pageant complete and those charge secured costumes representing the correct styles of dress for the dif ferent periods and native outfits for the peoples of the* various countries of the» world. - "A room is as beaatifal ^ui its woodwork."* A friend of oura recently moved from a cheaply built house to one in which the woodwork had been selected with infinite care.
