If there le one crusade more than another that needs to be started it is one against the habit we all indulge in of epeaking the truth, the plain truth, and nothing but the truth to those of our own household. For, strangely enough, truth is a luxury that we reserve almost exclu- sively for home consumption, and the idea prevails that, like ,certain medi- cines, the more disagreeable it is, the more efficacious, it is, and ~•the more confidence we have in its working. This article Is not intended to advo- cate the telling of lies in the home circle, though there have been times in all our experiences• when we could have wished that those nearest and dearest to us had been Ananiases and Sapphires, rather than . the truthful Jamesee and Janes that they were.

A GHOST. : The next morning; while he rubbed his bruises in a hot bath, Brendon de- termined upon a course of action. He proposed to tell Jenny and her hus- band exactly what had happened to him, merely concealing the end of the story. He breakfasted, lighted his pipe and limped over to Villa Pianezzo. He was not in reality very lame, but accentu- ated the stiffness. Only Assunta ap- peared, though Brendon's eyes had marked Dorsa and Jenny together in the neighborhood of the silkworm house as he entered the garden. He asked for Giuseppe, and, having left. Brendon in the sitting -room of the villa, Assunta departed. Almost im- mediately afterward Jenny greeted him with evident pleasure but reprov- ed him. "We waited an hour for supper," she said, "then Giuseppe would wait no longer. I was beginning to get frightened and 1 have been frightened all night. I am thankful to see you, for I feared something serious might have happened." "Something serious did happen. I've got a strange story to tell. Is your husband within reach? He.must hear it, too, I think, He may be in, some danger as well as others." She expressed impatience. and shook her bead. "Can't you believe me? But of course you can't. Why should .you?

Nest, out or a lair not fifteen yards from the distorted dummy, rose a figure that shone white as snow under the moon, Mark Brendon approached the snare that he himself had set, shook the grass out of his coat, lifted his haat from the ball of leaves it cov- ered, and presently drew on his knick- erbockers, having emptied them of . their stuffing. He was cold and calm. He had learned mono than ho expected to learn; for that startled exclamation left no doubt at all concerning one of the grave -diggers: It was Giuseppe Doric who had eonio to move the body, and there seemed little doubt that Brendan's would -he murderer was the 'other. The operations of the detective from the moment that he fell headlong, ap- parently to' rise no more, may be briefly chronicled.

She doesn't go far before she encounters the family truth -teller. "I felt it nay duty to tell'her that she was making a fool of herself, dressing like a flapper when she's forty if she's a day," says this, martyr of self -elected unpleasant nese•. Or else she considers she must open Mary's eyesto the fact that the hus- band she adores isn't all that he should be, and she adds, self-righteously, "Of course, nobody else will tell you—it is only those of your own, family who will tell you the truth." Somehow we don't seem to be un- der the same obligation to tell pleas- ant truths to our family. We are quick enough to comment on the un- tidy dress, the poorly -served meal, the children's noise, but we are silent about the ninety-nine times when. everything was comfortable and pleas= ant. Not long ago a woman was Leung off her little son, who accidently upset a plate, of sol}p on the cloth at dinner. He was sharply reprimanded for his carelessness and sent from the table. At the doorway he paused and with quivering" lips turned to his mother and asked: "Why didn't you say it didn't make' any difference, like you do to visltors•t I didn't make any big- ger spot than Mr. Smith did when: he upset -his wine". Could any better reproof to the moth- er; who told the unpleasant. truth to her child 'and the pleasant narrative to a guest, have been made?

"How much is it?" whispered the groom dolefully. "Oh, just whatever you think it is worth," was the reply. The groom took ono hurried glance at the bride and offered the minister a fifty -cent piece.
