atlol1oI was tutoring a youth of nineteen

J had a fancy to go abroad In theilJJlolDl1t1c corps but as I bad no in-

fluence to secure an appointment I

kept my ambition to myself My pupilAlec Kirk should have been ready forcollege but he was net and It waswT part to get him ready ns soon aepossible His father after turning

1I over to me went to Europe BeSore leaving he gave me a single In

MroctlonTtzUeat let any woman snare him

while 111m awayI made a companion of Alec and b-

aeemed

°to enjoy my society In prefer

dace to that of young fellows ot hi-

own°

age Ho gave me his conOdence-JD everything but one A WOmllD-

Ja14 siege for him and he did not tellme Ills father had lectured him betore going away on his susceptibilitysad told him that I was empowered to-

Jorbld his attentions to any womanAlec not only failed to trust the matter to me but told the woman who wastrying to snare him ot my charge Sh-

wase

smart enough to keep aloof fromme and I did not discover her orobject till I was informed of both b

the housekeeper I warned the houseJteepcr not to divulge the fact that Iknew ot whnt was going on If 1

could save tho boy I would put bls-

latber under obligations Mr Kirkhad great politico influence

Alec wished the lady to wIn myopinion She supposing that I knenothing of their affair consentedthough reluctantly I was Introducedto Intlss Martha Colltngwood agedtwentyeight Impecunious pnssoblygood looking and of n common familyJ called on her with Alec and duringthe call manifested a friendliness thatdtenrmed both But while extendinthe olive branch I was sharpening thesword I suggested that Miss Colllugwood and Alec use the tennis court nthis home nUll even offered It we couldfind another girl to make up a set withthem myself I had In mind MissGladys lIole a young lady who hadthe faculty ot snaking the most rasplag remarks with the most kindly pretended Intentions Knowing that thereis nothing which will turn a mats froma woman quicker than a feminine tightI hoped to use Miss Iloyle for the purpose ot drawing out whatever ot tomper Miss ColIIlI wood might possessand Jctendetl that Alec should witnessthe scrimmage

Ye secured Miss I1oyle and I choseher for my partner Miss Collingwoodopened the game serving to me IBent the ball hack und she returnedlt It dropped just within the line butI pronounced It foul

That wnsnt foul said Miss Cotlhgwoal

1 Joolwd at my partner for supportCertainly It was she said

My eyes must have deceived mesaid Miss Collingwood

Some people cant play tennis ntall returned Miss lloyle on accountof their eyes I thought I saw something amiss with yours Its quitenoticeable

There was nn ominous flash fromMiss Collingwood She made no reply and the game went on My owngame had opened auspiciously andfortune continued to favor use MissMoyle In volleying close to the netsent the ball against Miss Coilingwools nose The latter dropped herracket and caught n trickling streamof blood In her handkerchief

You did that on purpose she criedcasting a flashing glance at MissIIoyle

You flatter me It I could hit nmark like that Id enter for a clmm-plonshlp replied Miss lIoyle

Miss Collln wood was getting readyfor n rejoinder when I added to herrinsing hy asking It she would pro

gameyI better Missild i putt In with that nose itll beInU the colors ot the rainbow tomorrow My advice Is raw beotISome people are otfensivo withtheir advice snapped the sufferer

Pleasure lead gone out ot the gamefor Alec lIe proposed to stop playingMiss Collln wood started for the housecto put cole wilIer on her nose Alecinstead ot accompanylllg herOCCUpation lu Jatherlll the balls nndtrackets I whispered to him to tnl1CMiss I10yle home She smilingly acvrepted Ids invitation As the twtWalked away Miss Colllnlwood turnedand darted n fiery spark I saw herhome addIng fuel to the flame bylag her that I thought Miss Hoyle hadIsent the ball against her nose on pur-pose and was trying to catch AlecI

I supposed that I lead only made abeginning but I was rah taken WhenAlec and I met again he confessed to-

me that there had been as affair be-

tween him and Miss Collingwoodwhich I expressed great surprise butIthat It was ended I kindly offered togive him my advice os to the bestJWtthod ot dropping It The illusionLad passed out ot him and nothingcould bring It back

When Mr Kirk returned from Eu Iyope I made no mention ot his sonsfcape but ho learned ot It andme about It I told him the story ntthe end ot which he said

You should be In the diplomaticcorps Thee first requisite of a dlplomeat Is absence ot conscience Judging tfrom your nets In this case you ddntknow the meaning ot the wordcI confessed that I hadin the diplomatic line and be promisedto see the secretary of state In my Intereat The result was an appointmentnd having begun with a small stroket

ORIGIN AND SlfiNIEI

CANOE OF BIUSOiNG

It is a Positive Sign of an Active

lMfndandto the Face I

An eminent English medical psy-

chologist has recently declared that Itrequires brains to blush that theablllty to blush Is In direct ratio toblushingtIs an ot everyone should be proud for It Is a positive sign ot an active brain

Idiots can not blush and neithercan animals Similarly lnfantsdo notblush although they learn to do sofacthashigher functl9ns Morover the blushcan not be caused by any physicalmeans It Is the mind which must beaffected says Pearsons Weekly

Aside from the tact that blushinghas its origin In the minds Its mostIswlthtrare exceptions confined to the faceears and neckUnglotwith heat there are few known cases where the actual reddening or theskin entended farther than thecollar bones ort he shoulder blades

According to Darwin and Sir JamesPaget our personal appearance andnot our moral conduct Is the fundamental element or blushing It Is

started with the wish to bo admired In the mere thinking ot what other people thought of us

In the early stages ot civIlIzationpeople were judged more for theirphysical beauty than for their moralconduct and the habit ot blushingarose from the fear of blame or dis-

approval on that accountThen as the race progressed and

moral and Intellectual qualities becamemore and more to be valued the rearor blame or dlsRllllroval became as Itwere grafted on to the other andsimpler fear and to express Itselfby mental association In the sameway

As our Ideas became more complexand we kept adding to our reasons to I

blushing we were not able to changeour physical makeup and continuedto blush In the same old way andfor all the now causes I

This brings us to the difference be-

tween tile flush of anger and the trueblush As auger Is a mental stateIncited from without so the mentalconfusion which shows ltseiLln theblush originates within us

We have seen how blushing orlglhated In an anxiety about our personalapearanee Now our chief concernIn this regard has always been theface the natural seat of personal attractiveness

Therefore the first thought uponmeeting those whom we desire toplease was of our faces and I

If for any reason wo suspectedund It for any reason we suspectedthat our faces did not please ourminds were naturally Coucllltmted upon the detect there

Shyness modesty shameall havetheir foundations In the primitivelove or admiration and the blush otthe girl who meets her lover Is after all only n sublime sort or per-sonal vanity questioning Its ownerspower to please
