The People's Journal PICKENS S. C. ...LOV,,..7d A Mant... The glow 01 the electric light fell softly 1pon the rich tapestries, the elo gant furnishings and the rare paiit ings an(1 lingered amid the blond hair of a young man, who, iml slippers and sm"okiing jacket was reclining ii a Morris chair before a grate, reatlitig a paper. Tlhe man was scarcely more than a youth and his smooth shaven face was free of lines of trouble or of care. But in his quiet eyes a certain sadness slumbered as t.hough real happiness, real Conltenitmnt were not his. Presently a woman, robed in an evening gowil of pale blue satin, push-i ed aside the portiere atid, seeing him, paused smiling. Her hair fell over her shoulders like a golden cataract tuim bling into a blue sea, and her eyes were like the skies of Juue--peacefully blue and tender. Jewels sparkled at her throat, and on her fingers and a pink tiush brightened her cheeks, like the earth is brightened by the first pink rose the suni holds u1p through the lewy mist of dawii. The yotlng l i mai did not move; he didl not glance ip from his paper, al though the iWoman coutghed slightly, very slightly, once Irl twice. Finally she walked smilingly across the room and IHumsing behiid his chair. rested iei arms UpI t) his shoulders and patted his cheeks.

The woman removed hier arms from his siob ilers a nd t stood quite still and erect, a thini and tinger toying with a lock of his hair and wistfultness ereeping into her eyes. t 1-I did not know you had come, Haymonld," s'hle faltered. " I have been here teii minutes," lie returned. I1 1 did not think it ieces sary*3 to mound a tinnpel, when I ar rived." The color l44t the womaii's face aid her hp1 tremibled, but site did not re Ily. Afteir awhile -1heV walked over to a window and azed out at the stars, while the man turned his paper over ald Continued his readlin. Ouce or twice tle woman turned her head and glanced at the man, but she did not spe'ak and be did not look ip. Then she pushed a footstool to the side of his Chtair' aind sat downyl 111011 it, let ting hier elbow rest upon his knee and gazinig at tle coals ini the grate. l'Iease put 'dowU your paper, dear,' she sani. " I want to talk to you." The paper dropped from the naii's fingers and for a mloielit le gazed inl silene at the woman's hair that glowed like a grobten crown in the bright glare of thet elctrcie h ghit . Ju tst the suig igestionii o a frown stole across his lace and he s ighied softly. tilli thte w 'tiain4 did not take hier eyes fruin the tine; she didl not speak, andt the miani took a eigar from1 I his pickeit and, lighiting~ it, threw the b'urninig miatch imto the grate.

" Denied you everything?') he cried almost angrily. 4 Yes. you have denied me that 'which is everything to a wife-the love of her husband. That is everything, Raymond." She arose slowly and crossed the room. Under the portiere she paused and glanced back at the man sitting with his chin resting in his hand and gazing at the dying embers oi the hearth. " I-i--do not blame you, cear," she said, with a sob. P'erhamps--per haps--I would niot -mind, if---if. - loved you less." When her husband entered, Agnes gaveit a startled cry. Oh, Raymond," she exclaimed, "Raymond, dear, what has happenedt?" ills face was ashen; his eyes were dull and listless; his hands were trem bling. Helplessly lie staggered to a chair and covered his face with his hands, while she stood beside him, terror in her eyes, her lips dumb. " It. is all gone!" the man groaned.

The millionaires deserve little cretlit for their gifts to colleges and libraries while the poor are starving in th great cities and are ienned up iI gar. rets and hovels and earning a scanty living by working for the rich. I was ruminating about this when I read that Air. floiderby, that consecrated min itter in Atlanta, was getting Up an ice fund for the poor. What a blessing that will be to the tired toilers who cai only afford the tepit water that comes fron the city hydrants.

This was <oing lmore for the poor than education con l( do. A clean shirt aiid a cornfortable home will lift a boy up lquicker than books.
