"You‘d put spirit in a dead \ man," he said. "I‘m convinced because ‘I want to be.

Always ‘tracking her about her work, helping ther if he could, making her smile at ihis nonsense if there was nothing he |(-ouId do, lightening her burdens by \his very sunniness. "I‘ve beeing thinking what is best to do," she said. "You go to Mr. Hunâ€" ter. He lends money. Tell him your misfortune. You‘ve a winning way with you, Brooks. _ Tell him about Alice. Ask him to let you have enough to go after her. You‘re young and have a good job. She had rather be with you, sharing little, than waiting. I know." Mrs. Mercer moistened her lips and swallowed hard. | "Furthermore, it isn‘t ‘good business : to let people have anything without firstâ€"rate collateral‘ and it isn‘t wise‘ ‘to go in debt just to get married.‘ It) ended by my telling him to go to hell.| I couldn‘t help it, Little Lady, he was so smug and selfâ€"satisfied. I‘m beaten." | He bowed his head against the back of the chair on which he sat astride and was very, very still. Mrs. Mercer stood staring. Her eyes looked like those of a helpless animal that is beâ€" ing tortured. Her face, suddenly old and deeply wrinkled, puckered like a child‘s when about to cry. Thenâ€"she jerked up her head, spread out her hands where were the prints of her nails and came close to him. Laying one arm across his shoulders, her fingers threaded tho damp masses of his hair. She gave a little laugh that was sweet and certain. "Listen, Brooks, I‘m past the age where disappointments mean so much. I‘ve had my day. I‘ve had my love. Eagerness leaped to his face, but : ho hesitated. "I‘ve always said 1| wouldn‘t go back until I could ‘show‘ those doubters who said I was too[ irresponsible to make good; that I‘d| not marry a girl and give her nothmg; but hardships. And I‘m not going!"| Too bad to put bitterness in that| light heart! To let worry and dis-; appointment rub the upward curl from his gay mouth; to see heartache and; despairing hopelessness in those blue; eyes. She sighed and shook her head.| A scant half hour had passed beâ€" fore he returned; glancing quickly at, his face, she read failure there. | "Mr. Hunteor," he said stonily, “has! no excess of the milk of human kind-l ness. He said he‘d have been asking: favors now if he had listened to every | hard luck tale he heard. As I had nothing to mortgage but my strength.f no bond except my word, he couldn’t' see his way clear to lending me anyâ€" thing." | But even as he protested, hope was coming back to his eyes, new life to his face. "Don‘t let pride stand in the way of your happiness, then. There‘s no woman on earth who really loves, who hadn‘t rather be with her man, skimpâ€" ing, than do without him with the prospect of ease at the end of empty years. The scoffers needn‘t know about it," she urged. "We.l, I‘ll be your bank! T‘ll lend you the money. You shall go after Alice at once, as you‘d planned, and pay me back when you can. I trust you, if Mr. Hunter doesn‘t." He whiried around upon her, gazâ€" ing at a face g‘lorified by love and faith. "Take your hardâ€"earned money that you‘ve slavsd for? I couldn‘t, Mrs. Mercer! It wouldn‘t be right!" "Why not? Isn‘t Alice waiting? Hasn‘t she everything ready? She‘s waited long enough. It‘s no fault of yours that you haven‘t the money. I want you to be happy, for I love you, boy, just a» I loved the litt‘e boy I had, long ago." "But . . . . but, Mrs. Mercer!" he stammered. "It wouldn‘t be right. You need that money for something,. surely. 1‘d be depriving you; I‘d feel like a rascal." "Does Alice love you?" she asked gently. "She does, God bless her!" he said and his eves softened. I want you to take the money and be happy. I can wait, much better than you can. It doesn‘t matter about me. *t does about you and the girl who loves you." He saw in those courageous eyes sincerity, earnest purpose, love; and he took in his strong hands those frail hands that had toiled. He kissed them and laid them against his cheek and she felt on them a moisture that did not come from his rainâ€"touched hair. "I‘m really very sorry about that," she hurried. "I know it‘s the last of the season but I hoped, for your sake, that someone would still want the | house. I don‘t see why notâ€"it‘s such | a dear little p.ace." Her chin quivered. |\ "Under the cireumstances, I feel | justified in insisting that you take it. t\'ou led me to believe . . ." | "But, Mr. Hunter, I can‘t!

I‘ve | just lost it, that‘s all!" ‘I‘ll take it, lady dear, because it‘s‘ a love gift. You know what it means to me. I‘ll never forget what you‘ve done, nor will Alice." Several hours later, she went with him to the train and before the throng of hurrying tourists he took her in his arms and kissed her. She stood outâ€" side the window, smiling up into his countenance, once more the animated, enthusiastic Brooks. "Anybody would know that you‘re going after a bride!" she said gaily. He grinned delightediy. "We‘ll be back in two weeks. I‘l wire you. Be sure to meet us. If there‘s anyone in the world Alice need be jealous of, it‘s you! Goodâ€"bye!" She waved until he was out of sight; then the flush that had made her look younger by years faded; her lips took on their patient sweetness; she was once more the wornâ€"out little machine with nothing ahead of her but unceasing toilâ€"and the dreaded spectre in the near distance! Quietly the Little Gray Lady enterâ€" ed Mr. Hunter‘s office and wasted no words in trivialities. "I teld you I‘d be prompt; the option is up. I‘m sorry but I can‘t buy the place," she said in a firm voice. "I . . . hope that the other person still wants it." She started and nodded. "He‘s a fine boy." Mr. Hunter made a wry face. "Mayâ€" be so. Didn‘t impress me that way, ospecia.ly when he turned upon me like a wildcat and consigned me to the infernal regions when I refused to lend him money. Hotâ€"headed, seems to me." Mrs. Mercer smiled faintly and conâ€" doned, "He was in trouble, and he‘s young. Youth doesn‘t stop to think twice when it is in pain. I was young onee." â€" "Yes," she admitted. "I made enough but I . .. I ... somebody needed it worse than I did and I lent it." "Well, maybe you‘re right. Anyâ€" way, he laid me on the coals. Told Mr. Hunter searched among the papers on his desk then reached into his pocket and pulled out a latter. "Don‘t see why I put that thing there â€"might have burnt a holse in my pocket, it‘s such a hot one. I have a letter here from a man named Brooks Younrg. _ Know him?" His eyes searched her face. He looked at her keenly. Under the scrutiny she colored, as if a mind reader were baring her secrets to the unsympathetic gaze of critics. "Why can‘t you?" he demanded. "The season‘s been fine. You told me you had almost enough." x She lifted her head proudly. "It was mine to give, if I chose. I made it. To me it means just going on as I used to; toâ€"the other person it means keeping faith in human goodâ€" ness," "And cut yourself out of the thing you wanted worse than anything in the world!" he chided curtly.

Scientists are greatly interested at the present time in what has been called the Bay of Biscay Mystery. The bed of the bay, which has always been considered nearly 14,000 feet down, is now only 120 feet down! The accuracy of this supposed disâ€" covery is to be tested, for two big points are at issue. â€" Have previous soundings been correct, or have some strange disturbances, probably conâ€" nected with the recent earthquake in Japan, so altered the earth‘s creust that a mountain as high as Mont Blane has suddenly risen from the ocean bed ? The latter suggestion seems unlikeâ€" ly, and yet it may not be untrue. An English vessel five years ago reported depths of 500 and 600 feet where charts showed over 4,000, so there is certainly a possibility that the bed of the Bay of Biscay may have risen! The latest movement in the ocean‘s bed has just been reported by an American professcr. The Hawailan Islands, in the Pacific Ocean, are gradually being pushed upwards, and within a generation may comprise a high dry territory as large as Japan. As some of the earth‘s surface ha.’s! been thrown or deposited above the | seaâ€"lovel, it folows that some land! should also have disappeared.
