The People's Journal. PICKENS S. C. ---..A i?otlier Love to r..." 0ooooooooooooo A tall man in light rain coat. and a neutral-tinted girl climbed the steps of a red sione mansion. The house look ed to be untenanted. The halls echoed with unfurnished nudity as the two en tered. They walked familiarly into an oblong room, which was as barren as the hall, with the exception that it contained a small imitation mahogany table and two uncertain chairs. The girl laughed half hysterically as she removed her hat and sat lown, resting both elbows on the table. " Our den of thieves seems remark ably fit this evemnig, (ear. It chimes in with my mood. Perhaps it's be cause this is the last time." The man stared moodily at the white wall. " So you mean what you say; you are going to quit?" The girl went rather white and nod led her head. "( It's the only thing we can d0; you must ece that. I can't live this way, with turbulent quarrels and tempestuous reconciliations. I can't (to it. It's better to end it--bet ter for both of us. You couldn't make things right, and somehow 1 seem to have developed a conscience of late." The man tapped a call bell on the table and a diminutive Chinaman am bled through the open door. The man and the woman ordered chop sooy and tea. " See here, Ialhe, I can't stand this." The man's face was smooth and boyish, but it was lined with emotion as he spoke. " I can't live without you. Think of all we have been to each other for two years. Why did I leave all the set I knew and take the flat with our little red parlor, if it wasn't to see more of you? Do you remember our Sunday luncheons when you would come out early and make those wonderful dishes on our little gas stove? You couldn't reach up to fasten the tubes on the gas jet, and I always had to lift you--" " Yes," she interrupted, eagerly, "and how clumsy you were and how you used to crumple my clean shirt waist. And do you remember when old Eben, the janitor, would come in with the beer, he would stop and talk when we were (lying f r him to go? How many pirates did he say he had killed with one shot-forty?" They both laughed. " Yes, and that night you thought you were going to be fired from the paper and wanted a 'scoop'; how we had burglars in the building and went out and treated the policeman on the beat so he would swear to it? have you got the olicial belt buckle that he gave you? Al, but those were good old days I Iallie, how can you forget them?" All enthusiasm (ied from her face as -- his words brought her back to the present. She sat uip very st,raight. "At first," she aaid slowly, "1 just loved you and never t.hought of any thing else. I went on and on, and gradually I couldn't see my future. Always before I thought 1 would be something of a writer. But after you came I always seemed to see you in stead of success. Perhaps if I had be longed to some one, you would not have filled every crevice as you did; but I didn't, you know. There wasn't a soul who cared, unless it was the people to whom I paid my board. And then after a while---God, can't you see? You went on telling me that,you loved me and couldn't live without me, but st,ill you did not say a word ab)out -about making things right. And all the time I knew that no one could love you as I loved you. And yet that awful dread began to come over me of the ultimate woman-the woman you must meet, some day." " Hallie, child, he broke out impet uously, " it isn't my fault. I swear it isn't. You don't understand." " Oh, yes," she sighed wearily, " 1 do understand and that, is what gives me the strength to break with you." The lit,tle, one-sided Chimaman brought in the chop sc.oy and lighted a single gas jet, which splutteredl from the wind blowing through a broken pane in the window. The int,erruption in some ociult way seemed to place them out of sympathy. The girl's voice took on a serious tone. The man grew impatient. "1 have an engagement at 8 o'clock," she saidi suddenly. " We must be going. Besides we gain nothing by talking tings over." They walked to the car. " This is the first time yeou have ever left me this way," he said1, as they stood on the corner awaiting the approaching tram. " Who is the man?" " One of my ci aft, the new dIramatic editor from New York." " Oh, I see, arnd he is the cause of your new departure?" " Perhaps." " I wish you prosperit,y, Miss Doyle. This is your car, I believe. Shall I ride down town with you?" He was always most punctihious when about to -lose his temper. " No, Carl, It is better to part, now. Good-bye, good-bye, Carl ." She reached out her hand half pleadingly; her resolution was wavering. If he had spoken her name t,hen she would have tuirnedl back; biut man like, he remembered only her reference to the other man, Ernest Rheicard, this new dramatic editor, was an Iron gray man well In his forties. Ils hair was sprinkled as if to match his eyes, which were steady and uncommunicative, like two little pools of water. lie .was very sure of himnself. He had met Hallie Doyle but twice when he determined that she was the woman he had long pictured, the woman for html lie told her this that night between the first and second acts of" L'%iglon." " I want you to be my wife, my com rade," he said in his low, even voice. " I had never expected to marry unless I found a woman whom I thmought could be'both to me and until I met you that seemed doubtful. I believe I appreciate you. You have been cast lug your pearls before swine; havc been associated with those unworthy o you. I shall make it my one study next to my profession, to brmng ou what is great in you. I know that ye care for me and I only want your as surance." She turned the leaves of her progran and her mouth twitched convulsively So he knew she cared for him. Such is man. " You understand 'there was son one else--" she began. " I care nothing for what has been Whatever process has made you whal you are must have been a good one I always know what I want, and i want you. Will you be my wife Ilallie?' ? Yes," she said, looking hin straight in the eyes. In her heart th( name of Carl rang insistently. This man beside her, mentally ac complished, good to look upon, an< with the dignity of high thought, wai asking her to be his wife; and yet wit! the perverseness of fate, she knew tha all the joy of living had gone with he farewell to the other man.

" By jove that is peculiarl" There was an uneasy stir throug the house. Mademoiselle Secard paum ed and looked about her uncertainly. " What is the matter," asked Ilallie alarmed. " Is there a lire?"

Women and hens have some traits in ommon, and from a close observ ion of the feathered fowl an aphoris ic lore has sprung up which the un und man uses with an open hand vhen talking to his women folks. Row )ften a short-tempered spouse tells his vife that she looks like a wet hen; ,bat she cackles like a hen; that she jumps about like a hon without her )rood. These are but a few of the barges flung at the head of the long uffering wife. Whistling girls and ,rowing hens have been classed to ether, and whore is the irreverent nan who does pot call a gathering of vomen a "lien party?" Perhaps because they have some itrango sympathetic bonds, or maybe or some occult reason, too deep for nan to fathom, women are and always lave been extremely successful in the )oultry business. In many households n the suburbs of most large American ities the woman of the house supplies fcr own table with the fruits of her )oultry yard. In not a few cases a good rofit is made by selling the surplus )roduct to neighbors. It is one of the healthiest fads or oc :upations that a woman can take up. [he work entailed is very light; it is :lean and it is full of delightful va -iety that should charm the true fem-. nine heart. Moreover, it is a very in. xpensive fad to start. A few dollars pent on erecting a coop and a wire ence in which to keel) the fowls is all he equipment needed. Then, with few liens and a rooster and a setting )f eggs, the poultry yard is ready to start work.-Philadelphia inqiirer.
