For over thc circling world they go where dominant man has gone, And the human tide in its ebb and How thc way of its will has worn. The rigid highways straightly pass by the fields unreconciled, But the wanton path over dimpling grass escapes like a joyous child; For nature tenderly decks thc way that . leads to her secret heart As a mother would tempt her babe essay thc first few steps apart. And thc footpaths dance over hilltops cool, dividing the golden broom, Lovingly nearing the peaceful pool and the humming clover bloom.

Ir is said that every mau hus a blind spot in 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 beforo lt. Floods and earthquakes and epidemics devastate the earth, but they make little impression upon me. 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 his. sorrows. It may have been an unconscious seeking after au antidote for my en tirely 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 at her home, with the full approval of hw -father, and with the full intention of asking her again. She told me when she did so that she respected me and liked me, but that she could never, under any circum stances, be happy with a man who could appreciate nothing but the sor did side of life. She said she had noticed that when I looked at a pa jut ing I always valued it, took into con sideration thc reputation of the artist, and then gave my opinion upon lt. It was just 10 o'clock when I left her house. I had time to go down to the office and linish up some correspond ence, which tli2 tiiougbt of a few ?ours with her had made to seem of thc most trivial importance enrika in. the evening. '" We kept a light in the office hil night. jltT?ooked a' trifle- brighter than usual as it came peering over the transom, ) but I had a genuine start of surprise as I opened the door with my key, and found Ransom, my booukcepcr, ?dil busy.

The matter was much more serl is than I had imagined it could bc. fter talking and writing, and talking jain for an hour, wo arrived at the mclusiou that the only possible way ' save the two or three thousand dol l's involved was for me to make a ip to a city in the northern part of thc :ate. "There is a train' at midnight-or Uf-past. Why dou't you take that?" ansom suggested. It seemed the best'possible thing to >. I walked over to the hotel where lived, packed my satchel, and in mi ller half hour was waiting In the ation for my train. I took out some ipers I had brought along with me, id went over them while I waited. After a provoking delay the train died out and soon I ordered my irtli made up and turned in for tho ght. it was 10 o'clock next day when I arose id dressed myself. I didn't think to ok out of the window until my toilet as completed. I knew about where e would bc at that hour. Already the ke breeze ought to be rushing through e car. and yet it seemed sultry. I walked out in search of somebody Scial and met the conductor. "What train is this?" I asked bim, thar excitedly. He looked at mc in bewilderment. "Ain't you one of 'em?" "Oue of what? Isn'.t this the train Clinton? Where are wc, any we. y ?" The conductor looked at mc stu aiy. "You didn't offer no ticket," he said lally. "No, I didn't. I showed thc porter y pass-here it is-and told him to II you about lt, or to take it and ow it to you, and let me go to bcd." 'Oh, bimi" thc conductor said, pluck g at his beard. "He can't read. He pposed it was like all the rest ey've all got 'em." 'All got what?" I fairly shouted at tn. "What are you talking about?" 'Young man," said the slow fellow, lemnly-I fouud out afterward that had been chosen for this mission on count of his calm nature-"you are a special train, carrying nurses and ctors to the fever towns. You are in arantuicd country now, and how you e going to get back I don't know." 'Oh, I'll get back," I said, cheerfully, ust let nie off at the next town, and 1 find my way back." 'I wouldn't do anything rash, If I ire you," he said. [t was a very still little town where stopped. There was only one other ssenger for that place-a slender girl, th a clever face that looked too ung for a nurse's. I walked briskly wu the empty platform, hot with nshine, and exuding a strong smell rosin from the new pine boards. 1?re was a black sign over oue of thc ?sed doors with "Telegraph Office" white letters. Inside there was a lick, click" of instruments, but thc or was locked. A negro lad came inging round the corner. 'You ucedn't try to get in thal)," bc id, importantly. ' The operatah he's id.

Ten minutes later he had returned from tho house where the last operator lay dead, willi thc big door key, and we 'were lot luto the sweltering, dusty little box of a room, which seemed io me as if It still held traces of the disease. I opened thc windows to make thc girl comfortable, and sent the boy out after some Ice waler and some lemons. Then I remembered something. "Say," I called to him, and I went outside and asked him where I could dwi thc nearest bar. "Ovah thrill in th' tarella," pointing to a long, low, unpainted house. I ran across the street, followed leisurely by the boy, and found my way Into a bare 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. "Jff.ve you any tonic?" I said. "Who's got it now?" ho asked,.with a start. "Got. what?" "The fe va h. Yes, sah, I've got plen ty, sah;" and he went-into another room, and brought out two greenish bottles of tonic. "It's tho host medicine than is fin it. Who's got it?

I took the bottles and went hack Across the street, followed presently by the boy with tho water. "I can cool it," tho girl said, and she sent the boy back after an earthen jar of water. She wrapped it in wet cloths, put the bottles in it, and set the whole in the window. "What's that message of yours?" she nsked. I'found she had already intro duced-herself to thc other .offices along the line. ; I'sent a/telegram to Enr.sohv TjMj^hi.m. in the' orne? dnher^of J^V xhHIrr****^^ ne arrangements rbout getting mc : of thc fix I was in, without saying ribing about it.

In tlie room was aj*old who-had fallen back o''?^0Hw, .d, his face drawn^-i .yellow with scourge. Standing y his side was tall, sallow woman, who-I jam tamed to confess-even In that mo nt presented herself as a familiar ire.

A Quick Cure That Lasted. CASE NO. 30.C11.-C. E. Boies, denier in grain and feed, 505 South Water street, Akron, 0., made the following statement In 1S90; he said: "Ever since thc Civil War I have had attacks of kidney and bladder trouble, decid edly worse during the last two or three years. Although I consulted physi cians, some of whom told me I was verging on Bright's disease, and I was continually using standaid remedies, the excruciating aching just across thc kidneys, which radiated to thc 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 thc action of the kidney secre tions. A box of Donn's Kidney Pills, procured at Lamparter & Co.'s drug store, brought such a .'eclded change within a week that I continued tho treatment. The last attack, and lt was particularly aggravated, disappeared." Three Years After. Mr. Boles says In 1809: "In thc spring of ISO?
