Cox, of the league, has revolted and is suing for divorce, after three weeks without kissing, but Cox boasts he has not kissed his wife in many years, maintaining that it Is unmanly. The pledge one has to take to join the league is that he will kiss no woman, no matter if she is his wife. Kissing is for women only the weaker sex," Wilson says. Kissing is a weak manner of showing affection. We love our wives more than those men who are all the time kissing them every time they leave the house.

She ate her butterless rolls slowly and sipped her tea deliberately. This was Annes way, to be childishly impatient for her letter, and then when It came to save it and hoard It, putting off the great pleasure of reading it in order to prolong the delight. The arrival of those missives from over the sea had marked the red letter days In all the months she had lived in her Uttle room in Rue Servandonl. In the summer time she had usually taken the letter into the Jardin du Isixembourg and read it over and over again there hi the soft twilight. No one in the garden ever spoke to Anne or disturbed her. Perhaps because her Clothes were too shabby and unattractive, or, more probably, because there was a nun-lik- e steadiness in the gaze of her deep gray eyes that disarmed the heedless students who are wont to tease unattended girls.

I cant bear to feel that I should be a hindrance or Here Anne a drag to you because she could no stopped reading longer discern the written words through the mist of tears that had gathered over her eyes. She felt blindly about for a handkerchief to bravely dab them away, that she might go on with the letter, which continued in the tenderest phrases to assure her of his constant, unfailing love. She knew that he was sincere; that her welfare was all that actuated the letter. she murmured. "How like him, No other man but Edwin could write a love letter like that, and I hope he never will again; I could not stand It. When at last she fell asleep, the letter was clasped in her hands, which lay folded on the steamer rug, an addition to the scanty bedding on her cot, and her breath came in quick gasps, like the sobs of a little child. The atelier was crowded when she went to her work In the wet clay the next morning, and she hoped to gain her own corner without attracting attention. But her pale cheeks did not escape the notice of the tall American who was perpetrating a sad' ly misshapen figure near her own well blocked out work. "Are you not well, Mias Weber? he asked, with a note in his voice of deeper feeling than the occasion seemed to demand. "Quite well, thank you, Anne replied wearily, and the young man looked at her reproachfully. He wanted to tell her that she was doing altogether wrong, abusing her health, wasting her strength, and, worst of all. breaking his heart, but experience had taught him that it was not a safe ground of conversation. It was the day on whlfeh the master, the great Parisian sculptor, was expected to criticize, and Anne applied herself assiduously to her clay, which, under her deft fingers, rapidly grew more and more like the model. "I am through with this, said the young man at length. "I have tested my artistic ability and found that I cant even mold a snow man. He scornfully chopped off the nose of his clay figure, which only added another deformity to the already malmed-loo- k ing creature. "My old man always said that art was not in our blood, but I wanted to see for myself, and it didnt take me long. Dont think I have not realized how Impossible my work is, but I have stayed in the atelier you. know why and Ill stay yet if you will give me any hope, he added eagerly. "No, don't stay, Anne replied, soft- ly. He was such a dear boy she could not be anything but gentle to him. "Well, then," he said, disconsolately, "Ill throw art over and go into the string business with Dad, as he has always wanted me to do. "That will be better, I am sure, said Anne, smiling at the mutilated torso, for the young man had been carelessly hacking it while he talked. "The old man is certainly dead anxious for the prodigals return, for I got a cablegram from him this morning, asking me to pull up stakes and go at once. The dear old chap wants a Junior partner, now business looks so bright. He has just won a tremendous lawsuit against a trust; some daring young lawyer carried the thing through, and Dad is crazy over him. He wrote me some time ago that if the suit was won he Intended to retain the chap as permanent counsel for the company. It will be the making of Edwin Bowen, whoever he is! "Edwin Bowen? repeated Anne, questionlngly. "Yes, Edwin Bowen. My old man even put his name in the cable, saying the suit was won. "Edwin Bowen! Anne said again. hy, do you know him? "Yes, very well. Indeed. she answered, and then she fell in a little heap on the damp atelier floor, and the students who rushed to aid the young man in bringing her out of the faint, spoke together of the serious consequences of overwork, and they all determined to be more moderate than ever. As soon as she felt strong enough to walk she started back to her room in Rue Servandonl, and the concierge met her at the door of the tall,a toppling house with a look of alarm, for she knew that cablegrams were serl- fifty-doll- ar bath-room- A Million Do'lai reason that I liked them, you told me I was trying to pose as a martyr.
