breeie past lllnc gardens, sweet with | fragrance of Illy beds, and then, dl- , redly within the garden thnt sup- , rounded the home of Estelle Osborne, , now the bereaved one, thut tiny dew- , drop sank deep into the heurt of a rose.
In jier distress nnd angul.sh nt the loss of a father who had reured h«'r aiuld peace, comfm nnd relliienient, Estelle hnd uo consoUition to nllevlate ! her coii.suiiiing grief except the f tljought that there was one vvho would ! surley hiu-^ten to her side when he learned of her des<datloii—M;irvl% | Furr. To her this friend, later lover, | still later her llanco. Lad broutilit nil i the clleri^^lu•d Joys of i)ure love. She ' hnd tru.sted hiiu wholly. Her father's j great anxiety had been concerning the worthiness of the flushing, brilliant , young num upon whoiu he was asked j to bestow tho carefully nurtured idol | of his heurt. Ue hud not utteuipted < to curb the progress of the loug woo- j Ing.
lie had tried to feel that whatever ' faults the youug man might possess i would be obscured by the renovating | power of the 'Sweet, gentle Inlluence i of Estelle. The beautiful youug girl aroused from her lethargy ot grief when Marvin Furr, a' few days after i her great bereavement, came to the I desolate bouse. He waa subdued, she j noted, but that was uaturul. Ue ex¬ pressed his serrow in tender terms. If ' Estelle noticed that he was abstract- \ ed, that he did not refer,to their fu- ' ture, she traced It ludulgeutly to Ton- j Btderatlon for ber troubles. Ue left ber without tbe customary parting kiss, but he spoke feelingly of her great bereavement aud left her couutlug the moments until she should see him again.
"I am a scouudrei 1" he muttered, as be proceeded down tbe street. "What will that sweet, lunocent girl think of me when she comes to comprehend the baseness, the meauuess of my Inner nature?"
He winced at tbla self-aba^meut na be faced the wayward, cruel purposes he Imd iu view. Estelle, us tbey passed through the gardua, bad plucked the most lovely ruse upon her favorite bush. He bad ueKllyeutly placed it
npon the Ispel of his coat. Tts swset p#»rfnme nettl«»d and sccniw^d him. He rlrleisly tore It from Its plsce snd dropped It Into his pocket—the ro«e. In the henrt of which reposed the dew- .drop which emblemlzed the soul ego of dend Wnlter Osborne.
Hfllf sn hour later Mnrvin Farr en¬ tered a gorgeoufi mansion, aftlare wilh electric light, crowded with gay com¬ pany. A close friend. Its owner, Ar¬ thnr Pond, greeted him efTnsIvely.
"She Is here and hns heen fearing yon would not eome," spoke the lat¬ ter.
"Your sister. Mrs. Willis?"
"Yes. Marvin, we're old chums, and there Is,no mnn I would more willingly welcome ns the mate of my sister than you. I cnn tell you something you have already guessed—Eudosia loves yon."
Morvin reddened nt the nndnclous stntement. Ho paled nt the thought of tbe poor girl he wns scheming t" desert, to forget ; of the henrt be wns nbout to crush, already pr<)Strnte uu- <ler fresh prk'f.
"Eudosin Is gfdng to the beach re¬ sort for n week, tomorrow," proceeded r.ond. "M.vself nnd my wife will In¬ vite you there n.s our guest til Hie cot- tiige. You will come?" .
"And your sister?"
"She Is ready to be won. Mnke hny while the sun shines, old fellow! lou have no rivals."
And In the compnny of the benutlful widow, reputed to have a million In her own rlijht, Marvin Farr basked through the midnight hours. The glare, the conii>uny, the responsive eyes of Fudoslii Willis enthralled hliii for the time being. When he left her it was with a promise made to spend a week nt the home of her brother at the bench resort- Outside, homeward bound, the fresh evening air cleared his besotted brain. He shrank within himself as he ana¬ lyzed the treachery he was about to commit. In a business way he had an' income sufllclent to cover all reason¬ able expenditures of a modest house¬ hold. The rose-guarded home of Es¬ telle wns her own. With love regnant, ll would become u paradise of delight. But Eudosla Willis, her butterfly life, allured lilm. He would never hdvo to toil. The sensuous beauty of the stalely woman would fill his life. On the^ one hand, simple love; on the other, lavi.shueas, luxury, the ready requisition of change, excitement—all the alluring enchantment of opulence.
"I will write a fpw brief lines to Es¬ telle. I will confess to her that I am unworthy of such love as hers. Poor girl! Wretched, selfish craven 11 Bnt the die Is cast."
When he reached his own room his hand came In contact wltb th« rose in his pocket He flung It carelessly on the bureau, went to bed, toased on- easily for a time, and finally went to sleep, feeling that be bad sold bis soul to the evil one,
HLs dreams were not pleasant ones. He awoko In the morning unrefreahed and Irritable. Tba weight at remorse waa on bis mind.
"Til get tbroagh with it at one dash,** ba muttered, "and send tbe note to Estalle. Ill leava the city, so my determination cannot b« weakened. Wealth, luxury, society—I would be a fool to barter all this for loTe."
How the sweetness of past hours at tbe rose-bung garden came back to him! Passing the bureau, he reached out and casually lifted tbe rejected rose.
Witbin it the soul of tears lingered. Their moisture had kept the flower fresh as when it was plucked- The strong, vljal scent of tho rose made the man reminiscent Farther back than Estelle ran the swift grouping thoughts of Marvin Farr. Tbey used to hnve such roses, all purity and beauty, at the old homestead where mother—
Ue choked up as the poignant mem¬ ory of that mother's loving care and advice cume back to hlra.
"Always be a man," she had said, nnd he was about to become a pol¬ troon, a traitor, a ruthless desocralor of the holy (pledges of love. He wa¬ vered, a dimness came into bis eyes, lie fell to his knees by his bedside und burst into tears.
WliiMi he arose his face was calm, his eyes wore a new expression of re¬ solve, mingled with contrition. With a steady hand he Indited a note to Ar¬ thur liond, to Inform him that circum¬ stances prevented his accepting the In¬ vitation to tbe beach resort.
The dewdrop suuk deeper into the heart of the rose, to become a part of it—of the rose which was to become a cherished secret memento to Marvin P'arr through all the years to come.
And after, when gentle, loving Es¬ telle was by his side, there seemed to be with them a spirit that blessed them. K'he dewdrop had performed Its mlssloa aud the soul of Walter Os- borutt was at rest.

People Urged to Retain Them as Permanent Investment.
Government Discourages Practice ef
Merchants in Accepting Them in
Exchange for Merchandise.
United Stntes trensury offlclnls aro seeking to discourage the practice fol¬ lowed by mnny merchnnts throughout the country of offering to accept Lib¬ erty bonds of the first nnd second Is- Rties nt pnr, and In some cnses nt n premium. In exchnnge for merchnndise. They hold thnt such prnctlee defents the primary object of the snle of the bonds, discouraging the generni thrift movement nnd Increasing expenditures, thus depriving the government of la¬ bor nnd material needed for war pur¬ poses.
"While I hnve no doubt thnt mer¬ chants are nctunted by pntrnltlc mo¬ tives," snid Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, In a statement given out through the federal reserve banks, "I am sure thnt they hnve failed to con¬ sider the effect which the acceptnnco of their offers have upon the situntion. We are mnklng tbe strongest effort to hnve these govemment bonda puf- clinsed for permanent Investment by the people nt large, to be paid for out of tbe past nnd future savings of thoae who buy them. Purchnses thus mnde not only result In providing funds for the uses of tho govemment, but they nlso effect a conservation of labor nnd mnterlal.
"When the bonds are exchanged for merchandise, the primary object of their sale Is defeated, discouraging thrift and Increasing expenditure. In addition to this, sucn bonds, when tak¬ en In exchange for merchandise, must in most cases be Immediately sold ta the open nfttrket. This naturally tends to depress tbe markqjt price of the Is¬ sue and makes it less easy to sell fu¬ ture Issues at the same rate."
Secretary McAdoo.believes that the merchants of the cotmtry, upon a more careful consideration of the subject, will discontinue their efforts to sell merdiandlss and tatae Liberty bonds In payment for It.
