C.   Mu'lure  ��� ?VWWTVV\/WVY/*7W /^-/Tvva  With Miss Morriani tlie incredible  had happened! She was tired of hearing that she was beautiful. Prom her  earliest recollections strangers had exclaimed over her pretty face, and her  lovers one after another had hung thc-  variations on the same theme. Mi��s  Morriam listened politely and found  herself extremely bored.  "To be loved for your face is like  being loved for your fortune," Miss  Morriam ' confided to ' her journal.  "Beauty has wings Just as truly as  riches. If a man falls in love -willi  your complexion what is he going to  do when you come down with the  smallpox? If I were a pretty,fool I  might he perfectly satisiied with things  as they'arc, but I know I'm worth loving for myself���if only they had the  souse to find it our,"  Unfortunately for themselves Miss  Merriam's adorers never suspected her  peculiar ,vlews.d If there had boon one  of their number shrewd enough to compliment, her intellect instead ,of her  dimples and to have talked about her  sparkling wit rather than her sparkling eyes he would have found the  short cut to her heart. As it was,  they were unanimous in deciding that  the aforementioned. article had been  omitted from her composition. 'And  Miss Merriam expressed her displeasure in tho following paragraph in her  journal: "Beauty, beauty, beauty: How  tiresome   It  ah   is!     I   wish   I   might i few  never hear I was beautiful, again."  ���   Hash   prayers   sometimes   bring  tni-  ���  welcomo   answers.     Not   very , many  clays  later the city  was electrified  by  the news that Miss Mcrriam Lad been  thrown from her automobile at a well  known watering place and seriously injured.    Pictures of tho beauty appeared  in   all  the  leading  newspapers  of  ' the country, with reference to her possible   disfigurement.     Miss   Merriam's  relatives,, when anperlcd to on this important point, refused to say anything  to relieve the suspense or to satisfy tho  popular  curiosity.     And  tho  explanation  of  their  reticence  was   apparent  when Miss Morriam made her appe;"-  onco   in   society   a   few   works   lanr.  Across tho faultless curve of tho girl's  chock ran an unsightly scar, a scar so  aggressively prominent that it hold tho  attention   of  the  observer   and   made  him  forgetful of  all  else.    It seemed  likely that Miss Mcrriam was to have  her heart's desire and never again be  forced to hoar that she was beautiful.  ' Lloyd Ilollistor saw her for tho lirst  time at one of the opening functions of  tho season, a  few  days after  his  return  from  abroad.'    "Notice  that girl  over there," a  friend said, pulling his  sleeve. ."Last spring <Ure war> the "beautiful Miss Merriam,' and see her now.  Hard luck, isn't it'.'"  Ilollistor looked as directed.0 Ho saw  a small 1 if all regally carried, a n:;AS  of dazzling hair and eyes that shot  violet clights from under their arched  brows. Then Miss Mcn-hun turned  her head, and ho saw the scar and  nothing else.  "I'd be sorrier for her," the man at  his elbow went on, "if she hadn't turned down half the fellows in her sol. I  guess she thought she was good for a  duko with that face of hers. Introduce  you, did you say? -Why, certainly, iny  dear fellow."'    ���  It was the innate chivalry of Ilollis-  tcr's nature which had prompted him  to ask the honor of Miss Merriam's  acquaintance. Ho was as sorry for tho  girl as ho was disgusted with the cold  blooded comments of I ho man who had  pointed her out to him. J'or tho first  few moments of their co-iver.-alion ho  unscrupulously kept his eyes away  from her. He could not bear lo witness tho beauty in eclipse, and ho f'an-  'cicd that she wlio bad been so used to  reading admiration in the icy os of every  man must wince at the pity which tact  could not conceal.  Presently he found that admiration  was getting tho better of his sympathy.  This quondam beauty was not crushed  by her misfortune. She mot this thunderbolt of fate's spite with a ���AlUmt  courage whioh quickened HoU'-tor's  pulses. Hot- easy gayety, her .'pp-.ieiit  unconsciousness of tho pathos'of her  situation, appealed to him.its n'o woman's beauty had ever done. . lie-made,  tho discovery.-that Miss "Mcrriam was  brilliant if no longer beautiful., and  that her- cleverness, unlikcf tlint�� of  many, of her sex, owed'nothing to ill  nature'.'' ���',''���'*      ���'. ..  .In the months; that followed ho saw  a great deal of Miss .Morriam.' It was  clear that, the girl's liking for social  pleasure remained unaltered by the  change In,-her circumstances. She went  everywhere and to all appearances enjoyed herself in spite of,the sudden falling.off In, the number of her-admirers/  There-had been a time when tbe, man  wlio wished a word Willi the beautiful.

He admired Miss Merriam too  much to. he sorry , Cor her. In every  quality of mind antl heart she niel his  ideal of what a woman should be.  for the sear, he looked at it  Khrinkingly. .Vim fewer he  ���meant to not with his eye  Tho night he asked her to marry  they1 sat   in   Miss   Morrinm'.s   Iiii.  grate fell full upon hor face.

As Lo went on Miss Morriam turned away her face so that  the profile was toward him. The light  of the fire flashed on the scar, aud it  stood out in livid relief. As a rule,  Holhsrer was not fanciful, but for an  instant the gash seemed the mocking  mouth of a demon stretched in a fiendish grin.  Ilollistor waited a long time for an  answer to'his question. Miss Merriam's face was averted, and he could  see that she was stirred by some strong  emotion. When he made a movement  to take her hand she turned toward  lnm suddenly, and he saw that her  eyes were brimming with tears.  "You are a bravo man, Mr. Ilollis-  ,ter," she said in a voice not quite  steady. "Have you thought of thisV"_  Her lingers touched the scar with a  strange, half caressing gesture. "Have  you tli ought what it will mean to have  every passerby look at your wife pityingly and whisper ns you passV   '  '  "I love you," was Ilollister's answer.  "If there is a hard thing in your life  it is in:^ right to share it." Then liis  head whirled nt the look of sudden  ndorat-on that leaped from her eyes.  "Oh, I wanted to find a man like  you," Miss Morriam whispered. "I  was sure there must be such a one in  the world." And then she was In his  arms, with tho poor, scarred cheek  press'-d to him, sobbing out hor-heart  in a burst of exultant triumph that enraptured him without his understanding it in'-tho least.  "When they said good night Miss  Merriam clung to her lover as. If reluctant to let him out of her sight.  VI must si-e you in the morning, dearest," ,she said. "You must spare me a  moments."   .And   Holllster,   who  <P  In the House of j  ��  the Loving Heart I  "By K.eiih Cordon  Copyright,  1S0S, Irj 1.  C.

'    ���  j    lie' wondered a little when he came  j next   morning   that  she   should   keep  I him waiting.  His heart leaped at every  | footstep  in the hail for ,thc first half  hour, and when at last she stole into  the room, closing the door behind her,  she   took   him   by   surprise.    Ilollistor  sprang to his foot, then stood staring  blankly.  An enchanting face smiled ��� up at  him, a faco rosy with blushes. He  saw. the play of the dimples and the  curve of the cheek as if ho were looking on it for tho first time. The scar  was gone."  "My God!" said Ilollistor helplessly,  and he dropped Into a chair, his own  face dead pale. Miss Mcrriam ran to  him and dropped on her knees beside  his chair, looking into his eyes with a  fascinating mixture of timidity and  confidence.  "Forgive me. dearest. Don't bo angry  with me for deceiving you. If you only  knew how tired I grow of men who  couldn't see anything in me to love but  my pretty face! That little accident  with my automobile'was too good an  opportunity to miss, and the sear'was  easily put on. An actress showed me  Low io do it, but I flatter myself that  after a little I improved upon my teacher."  She smiled at Ilollistor shyly and did  not seem to find his silence discouraging. "Please don't Sdj- you like me better tlie other way. I almost grow to  hate my beauty >./on it blinded people  to all tho rest in mo, but now I'm glad  to have it to give to tho man who loved  mo for myself."

"Tho idea of any wise person caring  for money, especially in New York,"  she gibed as they sank down upon one  of the benches at the entrance to the  park. The carriages were hurrying  feverishly after one another as if happiness lay at the other end or else rolling sadly back, again as if to indicate  that it was not there after all.  Hazard turned an astonished face  toward her.  "You're guying," ho observed disapprovingly. "New, York's , the place  where one needs it most Every one  knows that."  "Every one," she echoed with scorn.  "And why? Simply because 'every one'  is suffering from the greed of possession. They want to possess, not to enjoy. They7 buy���buy���buy! Then they  put what they have bought into a safe  deposit vault nnd hurry off to Europe,  where they begin all over again.  There's one of thorn now." And she  nodded gayly in response to a bow from  a lady in a passing victflria.  "Who is it?" asked Hazard laconically.  "Mrs. Lofty," laughed the girl, following the disappearing carriage with'  derisive eyes.   "Poor thing!"  "Then you'd rather be Eliso SherJ  win, student of art, and sit here on a  bench with a poor young lawyer than  be Mrs. Lofty, would you?" he asked,  watching a lock of hair which the'  spring wind blew softly across hef  cheek.      r  "I certainly would," she replied with  promptness. "She never has any time  for enjoyment or cultivation or reading  or���or anything that counts," she ended  vaguely. "You see, she has responsibilities. There are tho servants. Of  course I don't need to tell you about  the awfulness of the servants.' Then  there is her house, one of those fearful  places that just grip you by the throat!  when you enter and throttle you."  She paused for breath, with' a romp  niscent expression. Then she continued:  "You fool as if some one has just died  ���or perhaps' 'demised' would be more  In accord with the furnishing."

You have to employ beauty doctors and have little  pots of greasy stuff about. You should  see Mrs. Lofty's supply. It is immense."

"But who in thunder is that  man standing, at the window?" and  he (strained his eyes toward the great  hotel. Then he turned to her with an  expression of pleased and innocent surprise.    "By Jove, it's me!"  "It looked so. homely and inviting, I  suppose, that I couldn't resist it," ho  explained.as he noticed the warm flush  rising in her cheeks.

"Not a bit," ho assured her heartily,  while tho peculiar compression of the  lips of nn old gentleman sitting next  them indicated suppressed amusement.  "Well, come on, then! Now, this  room, which haa everything beautiful  and useful and comfortable that, I  could find to put into it, is for my  heartsick and discouraged friends.

I believe as  many people fail ' from lack of sympathy and encouragement as from lack  of ability." .  She had grown suddenly earnest, and j  her eyes filled with tears: Hazard '  leaned toward her in real distress. f  "So silly of me,"  she began, with a :  little shake in her voice.   ,"But there |  have  been  some  rough  places���places  where   Mrs.   Lofty,   for' instance',   has j  looked on from her luxurious life and  said:  'I, hope you'll  get on  all  right  Goodby, dear!' and left me with loneliness and  discouragement eating my  .heart, and I have felt,that in my liouse  of the Loving, Heart I should like to  have it different."  The old man In the next.seat shifted  himself around so as to got a better  view of the girl's face, but,neither of  the 3roung people noticed him, and she  began her description once more.

Writing about a discovery j  ho  had  made in connection  with  his I  picture of Hiatica Capollo, ho says: !  "This discovery I made by a talisman, which Mr. Chute calls tho Sortes  Walpolianro. by which I find everything I want a pointc nominee, wherever I dip for it. This discovery indeed  is  almost of that  kind which  I  \  call serendipity, r very expressive  word, which, as I hare nothing better  to tell you, I shall endeavor to explain  to you. You will understand It bettor  by tho derivation than by the definition. I once read a silly fairy tale called 'The Throe Princes of Serondip.'  As their highnesses traveled they were  always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which  they were not in quest of. For instance, one of them discovered that a  mule blind of the right cyo had traveled the same road lately because tho  grass was oaten only on the loft side,  where it was worse than on the right!  Now do you understand serendipity?  One of the most remarkable instances  of this accidental sagacity (for you  must observe that no discovery of the  thing you are looking for comes under  this description) was of my Lord  Shaftesbury, who, happening to dine  at Lord Chancel Ior ������Clarendon's, ��� found  out tho marriage'oC the Duke of York  and Mrs. Hyde by the respect 'with  which her mother treated her at table."���Notes and Queries.

The sobg did not appeal to  Vlier yvhen the lnaiuiscript was sent to  her by Sullivan.   lint Sir Joseph Bam-  by.-.spent au evening at her house at  that time, and in a,casual-way.she. remarked:.. "By tho way, Arthur Sullivan-  h:rs  sent iue a. manuscript of a new  song, which ho litis asked me to sing.  You   might  look at It.    Personally,  I  don't think much of it. and am going  to   return  it."    Barnby  tried  it over  there unci then, and before ho had gone  half through it ho stopped and said:  " 'Going to return it.'.did you say?    It  is wonderful���an inspiration,   Certainly,  toll  hiin   yon  will  sing  It,    It  is  bound to 'make' both you and him."  Mme.   Sterling   til ways   thanked   the  fates for bringing P.arnby to her liouse  that night.-���London Chronicle.  Crabs drink but water; hotter ntuff  Lilio wbk-sUy not a Blp!
