For the time Wanda was too numb i , with weariness to make 'the strong , choice for herself. She would have, gladly fled the spot and the crisis if ' she could. But David held her fast. He clasped her tightly to him. It was L as though ho wanted to make sure that, in the chaos into which his soul was thrown, there was something to which he could cling. He sat staring into the pitilessly cold light of the moon. Wanda hid her face in his breast while David fought to reduce the swirling chaos into order and decision. de-cision. First, he asked himself, what manner man-ner of man was he? Had he any right to choose at all and thus bind any good woman's lovo to him he, whose I love was bo light, so contemptibly unstable? un-stable? Ho lashed himself with the crudest excoriation.

And now that I have to choose once and for all I am ready, and pay in full whatever my choice will demand. No, your job is harder than Just excoriating me! You must choose! " Then he was appalled to find that he could not choose. It was equally terrible for him to give up either ora or Wanda. Again he asked . I'-.plf what manner of man was he? ..

Then, under the pressure of his agonized will an answer to his question. ques-tion. But not the ease to make a choice which he still had to make. "Your two loves embody the still unsettled un-settled struggle between the unruly and the orderly in you. Wanda has always appealed to the adventurer, the gypsy in you. Life Is a gamble -with her and she appeals to the gambler in you. If you want your life to have the touch-and-go of the gypsy choose Wanda. But If you want your life to travel toward a goal, to have direction and consistency, Cora is your mate. If you want home, children, career, steady growth and increase in power and means, choose Cora just as you chose her before." THINGS WORTH KNOWING.
