THE FOG By M AKT IIA WOL< Away awl away I see them -wind whenever I shut my eyes, Like delicate countless threads to bind our manifold destinies, For over thc circling world they go where dominant man has gone, And the human tide in its ebb and How the way of its will has worn. The rigid highways straightly pass by the fields unreconciled, Dut the wanton path over dimpling crrass escapes like a joyous child; For nature tenderly clerics thc way that . .'cads to her secret heart As a mother would tempt her babe essay thc first few steps apart. And tlic footpaths dance over hilltops cool, dividing the golden broom, Lovingly nearing the peaceful pool and thc humming clo? jr bloom. Fern-waves cleaving in woodland deeps (with the thrush and thc vcerie near) Where the lovelv fugue of thc wild flowers keeps its rhythm thro'out the year. A Hero-AB fe Into ? Fever-St By A. S, *TT I is said that every mau has n j blind spot lu his eye. Sometimes I think that I must have a blind spot in my brain, and that the dis asters and the sufferings of humanity get before it. Floods and earthquakes and ?pid?mies devastate the earth, but they make little impression upon mo. I read the headlines In the news papers, and when a man asks me for a dollar for a ''sufferer*' he generally gets it; but I lose no rest worrying over bis. sorrows. It may have been au unconscious seeking after au antidote fer my on ; tiroly practical nature that attracted ! me toward Julia Maitland. Julia was beautiful, young and romantic, and ' did cot seem to desire any corrective for her disposition in the way of an alliance with me. I asked her to marry me once, and when she declined I continued to visit .it her home, with the full approval of her tallier, and with the full intention of asking her again. She told mc when she did so that she respected me and bleed inc, but that she could never, under any circum stances, be happy with a man who could appreciate nothing but thc sor did side of lifo. She saki she had noticed that when I looked at a paint ing I always valued it, took into con sideration the reputation of the (trust, and then pave my opinion upon lt. It was just 10 o'clock when I left her house. I had time to go down to tho office and finish up some correspond ence, wurdi tho (nought of a few noars with her had made to seem of thc most trivial importance earlier in. the evening. _\ Wo kept a light in the office all night. ]""It" looked a trifle- brighter than usual as it came peering over the transom, J but I had a genuine start of surprise j as I opened the door with my key, and found Ransom, my bookkeeper, mill busy. He looked up although he had had been expecting me. S "Mr. Duane," he said, "here, ave some letters that I think ought to be attend ed to at once." 'If^a'P?uT^IB-TfnTrToTS??'^??*T?T??Ts" vcr. The matter was much more seri ns than I had imagined it could bc. Jfter talking and writing, and talking o gain for an hour, wc arrived at the a onclusion that the only possible way b 3 save the two or three thousand dol li's involved was for mo to make a ip to a city in the northern part of the tate. "There is a train at ..dnighr-or- ti alf-past. Why don't you take that?" a :ansom suggested. n It seemed the best'poss")ble thing to o. I walked over to thc hotel where lived, packed my satchel, and in an ther half hour was waiting in tho tation for my train. I took out some apers I had brought along with ino, nd went over them while I waited. After a provoking delay the train a ulled out and soon I ordered my b erth made up and turned in for th? h ight. It was 10 o'clock next day when I arose 1; nd dressed myself. I didn't think to n jok out of the window until my toilet d ras completed. I knew about where t re would bc at that hour. Already the a ike breeze ought to be rushing through a be car, and yet it seemed sultry. n I walked out In search of somebody fi fficinl and met the conductor. t "What train is this?" I asked bim, t; ather excitedly. He looked at me in bewilderment. o "Ain't you one of 'em?" T "One of what? Isn't this tho train li o Clinton? Where are we, anyway?" The conductor looked at mo stu-'t idly. "You didu't offer no ticket," he said nally. I s "No, I didn't. I showed thc porter I V ay pass-here it is-and told him to ell you about it, or to take it and v how it to you, and let inc go to bed." <] "Oh, him!" the conductor said, pluck- t ag at his beard. "He can't read. He f upposed it was like all the rest- n bey've all got 'em." "All got what?" I fairly shouted at | t im. "What are you talking about?" c "Young man," said the slow fellow, I d olemnly-I found out afterward that e had been chosen for this mission on ccount of his calm nature-"you arc n a special train, carrying nurses and octors to the fever towns. You arc in uarantined country now, and how you re going to get back I don't know." "Oh, PU get back," I said, cheerfully. Just let me off at the next town, and 'll find my way back." "I wouldn't do anything rash, if I rere you," he said. It was a very still little town where t stopped. There was only ono other c assenger for that place-a slender girl, s nth a clever face that looked too ouug for a nurse's. I walked briskly own thc empty platform, hot with unshine, and exuding a strong smell r f rosin from the new pine boards. r 'here was a black sign over one o? tlie ' losed doors with "Telegraph Oilice" a a white letters. Inside there was a 6 click, click" of instruments, but the loor was locked. A negro lad came I Dunging round the corner. "You needn't try td get in thah," he aid, importantly.

I opened thc windows to make thc girl comfortable, and sent the boy out after some ice water and some lemons. Then I remembered something. "Pay," I called to him, and I went outside and asked him where I could hiv! the nearest bar. "Ovah thah in th* tavehn," pointing to a long, low, unpainted house. I ran across the street, followed leisurely by the boy, and found my way into a hare room with a shelf across it, and perhaps a dozen bottles. A portly man, in soiled yellow linen, was dozing in a chair. I awakened him. "Hare you any tonic?" I said. "Who's got it now?" he asked,.with a start. "Got. what?" "The fevah. Yes, sah, Pre got plen ty, sah;" and he went-into another room, and brought out two grcen.'sh bottles of tonio. "It's tho best medicine thah is fur it. Who's got it? The misses .bring down tonie, but it's no sich brand as this?" , "No, I suppose nor,'' liaid; and then I asked after ice, but I found that be yond tho supply held fey the "misses," there wasn't any in the town. I took the bottles and went back across the street, followed presently by the boy with the water. "I can cool it," the girl said, and she sent the boy hack after an earthen Jar of water. She wrapped it in wet cloths, put the bottles in it, and sot the whole in the window. ""What's that message of yours?" she asked, I'found she had already intro duced herself to the other .offices along I the ruc. ' I--sent a? telegram to Rar.sotn.

"Don't Avant your right hand to now, oh?" But I made no explanations. * * * Suddenly Miss Martin came running own thc path. "Come in here, quick," she said, nd went back ahead of me. I fol jwed hov into an old-fashioned squjirc ouse, with a wide oilclothed hall, ?nd bin balustraded stairs, which she light jr mounted. In the room wasjujbld ian who-had fallen hack o^i^Hw, ead, his face drawnly*! .?V-li?w with he scourge. Standing y his side was tall, sallow woman, who-I am shamed lo confess-even In that mo nent presented herself as a familiar gure.

It seemed to mc that mon looked at mc oddly, and shook hands with me more heartily than usual. My friends are serious, hard headed fellows, a good deal like myself, not much given to effusive expression: but one of them actually called me a hero. It is very seldom that ladies visit my ofiico, but as I went in I saw a gleam of summery apparel. A mo ment later there was a rush and a sob, and Jul!a, actually Julia, was in my arms. "My darling girl!" I said. "What Is the matter? Is your father 111? Is anything wrong?" "No! No! Oh,suppose yen had died! And it was all my fault-I should have driven you to that dreadful death! Oh, I know you saved hundreds of lives, but what would that have mat tered to me!" "Julia, my child," I said, "will you tell me what is thc matter?" "I know you didn't want anybody to know lt, and I am rightly punished for having driven you to it, by all this publicity. I am so proud of you!" And Julia, Julia who had scorned me, ac tually put her tear-stained check against my own, and then kissed me. I turned to Ransom. "Now tell me," said I, "what all this is about." He put his pen between his teeth, and took down a copy of a New York paper of the Sunday before-which had just reached our town. He turned to a head-lined page, pointed out an ar ticle, and wont back to work. I sat ? down and rend it.

Although I consulted physi cians ,'irae of whom told me I was VPiging o."v Bright's disease, and I was continually using standard remedies, thc cxeru' Ir.tlng aching just across the kidneys, which radiated to the shoul der blades, still existed. As might bc expected when my kidneys were In a disturbed condition, there was a dis tressing and inconvenient difficulty with the action of the kidney .secre tions. A box of Donn's Kidney Pills, procured at Lamparter & Co.'s drug store, brought such a decided change within a week that I continued tho treatment. The last attack, and lt was particularly aggravated, disappeared." Three Tears After. Mr. Boies says In 1S99: "In tho spring of 1S0C I made a public state ment of my experience with Donn's Kidney rills. This remedy cured mc of a terrible aching In thc kidneys, in the small of my back.
