Cannaugbt had a reason for choosng this place to loiter In?he needed :o see people, to hear the gay babble jf merry groups of people. He had jeen too long In his gloomy studio In :own doing nothing but work, and [here had come to him the moment ivbcn he discovered that If he did not ;et out among human beings again ne would forget how tluy talked and act?d and lived. His dialogue would be,-oine stilted; his situations unnatural iml he would lose his footing In the literary world. What mattered it if the gay persiflage that floated about him was merely the babble of dilletantes and amateurs? It was what he needed, and ^ach evening he watched the ever changing groups of human beings who frequented this inn. Tonight the voice of a woman had reached his ears and he turned to see her. He waved off the cloud of smoke he had blown befofce him, the better to view her. f She was tall and well built with an obviously foreign bearing Hnd yet? she was an American. Cnnnaught t w "From Dear Old Bradley." know thin from her accent. Her toilette was simple yet Individual and the lorgnetto she piled added not one whit of artificiality. She had exquisite coloring and hair, and her eyes, tbohgh they did not see well, wero wonderfully beautiful. She chatted with Intimates. Sho had motored down to the chateau and w?s making her adieux. A woman friend held her hand lingering]}* In both her own. "It Is so good to have you back, Marguerite," she said. " Prance and Italy have done much for you." Marguerite laughed in a soft little i? ,.A.wi n?? vs ii) but? UttU. i uu i x: au fevyuu. ?do come soon?Oyster Bay 71 i??and see my grandchild. It was 6he who brought me back to this country." "I'll come. Indeed, to see her?and you," said the woman, following the tall Marguerite with her eyes until she wp.s out of sight. Cannaught thoughtfully sipped the black coffee and his eyes sought the door through which Marguerite had passed. "Her grandchild." he said to himself. Then he blew a set of smoke rings and watched them expand and disappear into thin air. "Her grandchild," he repeated. Thereafter, as he sat wntchlng#men and women come and go, Ned Cannaught bad always in mind one thing ?another sight of?Marguerite. 01 all the women he had seen In this place none had attracted him as had this one. Against his own desires and Inclinations he began to 'cultivate the guests who lived at the chateau and occasionally he would join them In the lounge after dinner Instead of sitting alone. Perhaps someone might know her; perhaps she would come again. Cannaught was sure she had an Interesting story to tell; she must have if at surely not more than thirty-four she had a grandchild. TIj-? latter fact seemed Incredible but she had stated It with her own Hps and her friend had seamed not at all astonished. Summer was waning and Cannaught longed again for the quiet of his studio and the companionship of his personal surroundings. He had anoth er week to remain at the chateu according to the promise made to him self early in the season, and he was sitting: fretfully in his accustomed place behind a hank of palms. Pe^ fore him was a tabourette with his coffee and clears. Presently, he hoard a be!' boy say "That Is Mr. Cnnnaught, l'hlnd the palms. Then, a voire answered. "Thank you I'll find him myself, now."

"His villa is next to my own in Sorrento, and as we two alone spoko Kriglish we became tho beHt of friends," Marguerite told hitn. "And when I caino away ho asked mo to see you. Ho says he's a poor hand at writing, and that you liko to know how he's getting on." Cannaught studied her whilo she spoke. He was paying little attention to her words?they would keep. "I'd like to know more than that," ho snld, Irrelevantly. "I'm curious about your grandchild?Miss Curver? Marguerite drew her shoulders together in a characteristic manner nnd her eyes twinkled. "How did you know?" sho asked. "The first time I saw you you were hero in this f lounge begging some friend to coinc to see your grandchild." "Isn't It funny?" Cannaught laughed. "Very.

"Does old Dradley havo room for one more at his villa in Italy?" he asked. Marguerito nodded. "Will you come to visit him?" "After you return, I might," Cannnught said, pointedly. "I'd like you for inspiration. 1 think, living next door to you on the Day of Naples would bo inspiration personified." "How about?Dradloy?" she naked.

I'll take coffee as a substitute now if you'll promlso to come out to see my grandchild on Sunday." "I'll come next Sunday and as often as you'll let me until 70U return to Italy and?" "Yes?and?"

"And after that I shall hope to seo tivarv j1.iv and tell you a lot of things I've been paving up to tell just such a woman as you?Just you in fact" "I'd love to listen," Marguerite said, earnestly.

Vervins, In the Aisne, has had a severe shock and has escai>ed a tragic fate by only a hair's breadth, writes a correspondent of the London Telegraph. At the last census its population was returned as 99,890. bouIb. This spelled dlsjTster, for hitherto Vervins had sent two members to the house, while towns with a population of under 100,000 are entitled to only one. To be short of one member of par1 llament was a disgrace which the corporation of Vervins could not bear. A providential means of saving the town from such a downfall has been bit upon. The corporation discovered that 800 laborers from a neighboring village had spent the night of March 5 last, on which the census was taken, just within ti e boundaries of the town of Vervius 1 hey had been returned as only passing occupants, according to the rule, but the Vervius corporation hud coolly annexed them on paper. and thus brought its populatior to a total of 190 souls over the re quired 100,000. and the constituencj 1 will retain, or at all events hopes tc retain, its twoy members. i Wanted It Homelike. i ; An American college youth stopped for refreshment at the little Inn on top of Sonnonberg, in Swltxerland, i and asked the petite waitress for bper.

Study the map for the throe kingdoms involved. Egypt, Palestine, Assyria, the great routes of travel, and the situation of Palestine between the two world powers; Jerusalem being off one side from the routes between the other two. This is the key to the situation. Note, in this history, what were the things that urged or attracted the na tion to the downward course. What was the essential element that would have enabled the nation to move upward to true success and character. No nation and no individual can attain the highest good from life without supreme consecration to God. a lofty ideal and a holy enthusiasm in the service of God and man. Trace in the history what God did for the people to inspire and move them to the upward course, as prophets, written scriptures, revivals, prosperity, rewards of obedience.
