The engagement of Miss Jocelyn

presently in due form announced And
Jocelyn wore upon her third finger a
diamond ,as splendid as a star.
"You shall be married in the :spring
after a four months' engagement,"
Marcella promised and added to her
chosen son-in-law, alone, "I want her
to get used to you, Felix, so that we

must leave that to you, to your kind-
ness and patience and wisdom, Felix.
For after all, what can I tell her that
would help her to be a happy wife?"
This wailing question did not
startle Felix. He gave Jocelyn -s
mother scant attention, being prreoc-
cup!ed with problems of tutelage, and
with a vision of the education soon
to be given to an unsuspecting gold-
en girl.
I caught myself in the stupio mist-
ake of falling in love with you, Then
I say your engagement announced.
That scared me somehow. It's so
soon. You're only eighteen and you
can't know anything. I'm ill,"
Jocelyn, seated beside him, a
strange warm surge of welcome in
her blood, raised his hand, gently.
"I'd love to take tare of 'you."
"Couldn't stand a woman's fussing,
Lynda. Couldn't even bear a woman
round me now. I came to ask you...
are you happy?"
"Yes. And thr-rilled."
"Ilhum. I suppose so. Will you
get his picture for me?"
"Felix Kent's?"
"Sure thing, Your young man's."
She laughed. The whole experience
began to be an astonishing adventure,

Coming back light-footed she found
him returning to his place from some

room. She noticed this, but in her
confused excitment it made on her at
;the time no particular impression.
Nick drew' her down beside him and
bent over the large handsome pliota-

dal. Another personality seemed to
be taking possession of her, climbing
up out of some dark well inside her
as the bent twisted figure of this
man had climbed up, from the dark-
ness into her home, into her life.
Like every other human child, Joce-
lyn' wanted to love and be hived. Loy-
alty she knew to be the very root of
such attachment. During the days
that followed her acquisition of a
half -guilty secret, therefore, her con-
science suffered: for loyalty was now
divided and her heart felt a dark
bewilderment.
Said Marcella one morning turning
abruptly from the desk at which she
sat paying her bills, "Why do you
look at- me like that, Jocelyn, with
such great sad eyes?"
"Mother, I don't want to leave you
so soon," she said, trembling.
"It is better for you to marry and
to go away and begin a life of your
own."
"But ... won't you be lonely?"
"I am used to being alone. It suits
hie best."
'Don't you love me, Mother?"
!'I will tell you the truth, Jocelyn.
I will not let myself love any one.
Human love has never brought' me
happiness. I have directedmy love
elsewhere. I care deeply for you. But
you simtst look to your husband for
warmth of feeling."
"Here's Felix now to console you,
darling."Jocelyn sprang up, turned. her back
to the room and swept the tears from
her eyes desperately. "Don't tell him,
Mother. Mother, please don't tell
hint," she prayed in a passionate
whisper. "Don't tell him I leave been
crying please!"
Marcella laughed and when, a fewmoments later, a man's strong awns
turned her about Jocelyn knew that,
by some signal or murmur, her moth-
er leaving them alone had betrayed
her confidence.

One of the best stories of the year
I quite' recognize that this account
of various maps, and of the countries
named in connection with each map,
is likely to be bewildering. It will
have been seen that the countries of
Asia of 100 years or so ago are those
of today—with scarcely any change,
unless in regard to Turkey in Asia.
But it is quite otherwise in respect
of Europe—that is to say, those por-
tions of Europe referred to --Russia,
Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy,
Turkey in Europe, and those count-
ries bordering on the Adriatic and
the Grecian Archipelago.
A century ago Alsace and Lorraine
belonged to France. Then, in the
war waged by Germany against
France in Bismark's day, these two
countries went to0Gerinany. In the
Great War of 20-25 years ago, Alsace
and Lorraine were restored to France.
