nnvi Gilchrist was sitting in
the empty room. thinking how
My life enmeshed one. They had
married twelve years, and
had died a week before.

They had only two friends in the

and Mrs. Feirleigh were au-
nrn, and did very well at it. They
.i understood him—and Anne.
M.- had lightened the heavy bur-
' a at their lives by their compan-
. 'sliip. Fairleigh was coming over
' , sit with him that night.
Gilchrist was going through the
things Anne had left behind her.
:«xo had known she was dying. but
("0 end had come with tragic sud-
Miner‘s. Every little memento of
tun post was a blow to Gilchrist.
"it only you had loved—loved any

rttmtul it would have been better
"an. that eternal coldness.”
Turning over her bills. receiptl.

.uulmi. lie opened it and read. at
'ui without understanding. then
.x All a sudden rush of emotion.
‘\lv dear," it run, "when you

member that! You have I been
in my thoughts. first and foremost.
"And so this little message of
farewell takes all my love with it.
No other man has ever entered my
heart. I wish that I could tell you
—but I cannot."
It was signed "Anne." /
Gilchrist read the little note with
a wildly beating heart. So she.had‘
loved him after all. She like hith-
self had been under that \inhappy
inhibition which forbids one‘ 'to tell
of love to one's owu dearest.
And» memories surged through his
brain—memories of their early
meetings. of their courtship. He
had always admired nne. in spite‘
of her apparent col s. He had
always believed that some day he
could awaken her to love.
That hope had been destined to
disappointment. still, they had had
periods of happiness. -
He remembered once v’hen she
had turned to him and put her aunt»
round his neck asking forgiveness
for her coldness. .
Then there “was the time when
their hope of a child had been frus-
trated. They had clung to each
other then.
But the years of married intimacy
had worn them both down. Little
by little even the pretense of. love
had died. At the end they had been
frankly hostile. And he had not
kissed her before she died—somehow
he had felt he couldn't go through
that lie.
A tap at the door. Fairleigh en-
tered. The men shook hands. Gil-
christ. who w. on the most confi-
dential terms with Fair eigh. stamo
mered out his emotions. fie spoke
of the lptteb '
"I can't tell you how it makes me
feel." he said. ."If it had been some
other man. even. I should have been
glad‘to think poor Anne had the
capacity for love. But this—this
overcomes one. Fairleigh. It makes
me feel that I’ve been a brute to
her."
But Fairleigh was staring at the
envelope of the missive which Gil-
christ had tossed across the table.
And Gilchrist's eyes wandered to it.
and then fixed themselves in amaze-
ment on his friend's face.
The envelope was addressed to
Fairleigh. The letter had been for
.- us low-d you since the day when
Fairleigh. ~

TOURMALINE.
CCORDING to the stars. this is
A e. day when accidents will be
many unless great precaution
is taken to avoid them. And an
ancient superstition attributes to
the tourmaline the power to divert
such disasters. .
The tourmaline is the birthstone
of those whose natal day this is,
and if worn on the little finger is
credited with power to bring its
wearer riches and high position in
the world. It is also believed to
have the power of bringing the gift
of social leadership to women.
Today’s lucky color is dark blue.
which brings its wearer self-con-
fidence and perfect poise.
Success attained through concen-
tration and earnest effort is
achieved by those who wear the
nasturtium today. if an ancient
legend is to be believed.
