"In n world so crammed with sorrow,
It's strange that a man and a women
can achieve their supreme happiness
merely by being together,” 1 though ns

while they chatted away in complete
oblivion to their surroundings. It was
my unhappy duty to spoil their small
portion of joy by handing them the
paper with Its dreadful new*.
1‘ let them chat on, and smile on
while I gathered up my courage. The
report that the "lone" had gone down
could not be concealed from J. D.
t.orlmer's daughter for any length of
time.
Chryslobel I.orlmcr had nlwav* prided
ftersalf on her ability to face the hard
facts of life. She had a pet theory that
men and women behave in an emergency
according to the habtts they have formed
under ordinary conditions. If a man or
a w-ornan lias been accustomed to meet
small daily trials calmly, be or she will
be brave in the face of tragedy. Only
those who shirk their portion of minor
hardships will slump like cowards when
confronted by accident or sudden death.

whnt (he paper said.
“Dr. Spence!” I called. Spence crossed

into hts hand.
His Jaw set hard as he grasped the
meaning of- the big black type at a
single glance. Then he adjusted the
window shade In order that he might
turn his back to Chrys while be framed
a question with his lips.
I answered In a whisper:

With that tic went over to lief, 1 foi

opened the paper and spread it ou Uer
knees.
Chrys snatched (he meaning from the
dreadful heads and then, without a
word, she wilted Into her lover's ready
arms. Her head went down upon his
shoulder as if she had been accustomed
to seek comfort there for ages and ages,
and bis face rested on her hair and re

her sorrow—had destroyed all the
barriers between them and they knew
without saying a word to each other.
Nothing could ever part them again.
I stole back to my window knowing that

mind turned to my talk with Daddy
I.orimer. He had laughed because his
valet had been so dismayed at finding his
shoes on a high shelf. "The ‘lone’ Is

Daddy had concluded. It was only a
horrid coincidence. I shuddered as I re
called it, but ray moat poignant regret
was connected with the strange "hunch"

Anderson Thrifty
Life insurance Is carried by 63 per cent
pf the public school pupils of Anderson,
according to a report from W. A. Denny,
superintendent of schools there, received
by L. N. Hines, state superintendent of
public instruction.

derson earn money as in the senior high
school. This is taken to show the les
son of thrift is being learned by :h
younger generation of children.
