S. ! II is s:xi<I that every man has a biiml spot in his eye. Sometimes 1 think that I must have a blind spot in my brain, and that the disasters and the sufferings of humanity get before it. Floods and earthquakes and epidemics devastate the earth, but they make little impression upon me. I read the headlines in the newspapers, and when a mau asks me for a dollar for a ''sufferer'' ho generally gets it; but I lose no rest worrying over his sorrows. It may have been an unconscious seeking after an antidote for my entirely practical nature that attracted ine toward Julia Maitlaiul. Julia was beautiful, young and romantic, and did not seem to desire any corrective for licr disposition in thy 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 her father, and with the full intention of asking beluga in. She told me when she did so that she respected mc and liked 111c, but that she could never, under any circumstances, he happy with a man who could appreciate nothing but the sordid side of life. She saia She had noticed that when I looked at a painting I always valued it, took into consideration the reputation of the artist, and then gave my opinion upon it. It was just 10 o'clock when I left her house. I had time to go down to the office and finish up some correspondence, which thy thought of a few hours with her had made to seem of the most trivial importance earlier in the evening. "We kept a light in the office nil night. It looked 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 Itansoin. inv bookkeeper. *ti:l busy. He looked up as though he had had been expecting lne. "Mr. Duaue," ho said, "here are some letters that I think ought to be attended to at once." I sat dovrn and looked the letters over. The matter was much more serious than I had imagined it could be. Alter talking and writing, and talking again for an hour, wo arrived at the conclusion that the only possible way to save the two or three thousand dollars involved was for me to make a trip to a city in the northern part of the State. "There is a train at midnight?cr? half-past. Why don't you take that?" , Ransom suggested. It seemed the best possible thing to do. I walked over to the hotel where I lived, packed my satchel, and in another half hour was waiting in the station for my train. I took out some papers I had brought along with me, and went over them while I waited. After a provoking delay the train pulled out and soon I ordered my ! berth made up and turned in for the night. It was 10 o'clock next day when I arose and dressed myself. I didn't think to look out of the window until my toilet was completed. I knew about where we would be at that hour. Already the lake breeze ought to be rushing through the car, and yet it seemed sultry. I walked out in search of somebody official and met the conductor. "What train is this?" I asked him, rather excitedly. He looked at me in bewilderment. "Ain't you one of 'cm?" "One of what? Isn't this the train to Clinton? Where are we, anyway?" The conductor looked at me stupidly. "You didn't offer no ticket," he said finally. "No, I didn't. I showed the porter my pass?here it is?and told him to tell you about it, or to take it and show it to you, and let me go to bed." "Oh, him!" the conductor said, plucking at his beard. "He can't read. He supposed it was like all the rest? they've all got 'em." "All got what?" I fairly shouted at him. "What are you talking about?" "Young man," said the slow fellow, solemnly?I found out afterward that he had been chosen for this mission on account of his calm nature?"you are on a special train, carrying nurses and doctors to the fever towns. You are in quarantined country now, and how you are going to get back I don't know." "Oh, I'll get back," I said, cheerfully. "Just let me off at the next town, and I'll find my way back." "I wouldn't do anything rash, if I were you," he said. It was a very still little town where I stopped. There was only one other passenger for that place?a slender girl, with a clever face that looked too young for a nurse's. I walked briskly down the empty platform, hot with sunshine, and exuding a strong smell of rosin from the new pine boards. There was a black sign over one of the closed doors with "Telegraph Office" in white letters. Inside there was a "click, click" of instruments, but the door was locked. A negro lad came lounging round the corner. "You needn't try to get in thah," he cnM Imnnvtnnflr. '"The nnerntflh he's daid. Th' fcvah's sot him." "Isn't there anybody in this town j who can send a message?" I inquired, i There was a touch on my arm. I | turned, to see the girl. "I can," she said. "I am the volunteer operator who has come to take charge of this office and send dispatches about the stare of things here." "Weren't you afraid?" I asked her. She looked so young. "No." she said.

I opened the windows to 1 make the girl comfortable, and sent 1 the boy out after some ice water and seme lemons. Then I remembered 1 something. "Say," I called to him, and I went ' outside and asked him where I could 1 find the nearest bar. I "Ovah thak in th' tavelm," 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 1 him. ' "Have you any tonic?" I said. 1 ""Who's got it now?" he asked, with a 1 start. < "Got what?'* "The fevali. Yes, snh, I've got pi en- 1 ty, sali;" and he went into another < room, and brought oul two greenish < bottles of tonic. i "It's the best medicine thah is fur 1 it. Who's got it?

' "Xo, I suppose not," I said; and then '< I asked after ice, but I found that be- 1 yond the supply held by the "nusses," ' 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 1 sent the boy back after an earthen jar 1 of water. She wrapped it in wet cloths, i put the bottles in it, and set the whole 1 in the window. * "What's that message of yours?" she asked. I found she had already introduced herself to the other offices aloug the line. I sent a telegram to Ransom, j telling him in the office cipher of my plight, and Instructing him to make some arrangements about getting me j out of the 3x I was in, without saying ( anything about it. I wanted to sneak j back without being quarantined. "What is your name?" I asked the , girl. ( "Fanny. Martin," she said. I "Well, I am going to have the answer l fa tr>Tt eonf 4-a t*aii T Otn r>Af IV ilij UitCJllgC OtUl IV VU. X uxa XXVI anxious to have people talking about my being down here." "Don't want your right hand to know, eh?" But I made no explanations. ? * Suddenly Miss Martin came running down the path. "Come in here, quick," she said, and went back ahead of me. I followed her into an old-fashioned square house, with a wide oilclothed hall, and thin balustraded stairs, which she lightly mounted. In the room was an old man who had fallen back on his pillow, dead, his face drawn and yellow with the scourge. Standing by his side was a tall, sallow woman, who?I am ashamed to confess?even in that moment presented herself as a familiar figure. I had seen her counterpart on the stage hundreds of times as the typical spinster. There were even the glasses and the keys, and the bunches of skimpy curls behind the ears. She was looking down at her father in a hard sort of dumbness. "The servants have gone," Miss Martin said. "There is nobody to do anything. It is lucky you are here." I did not stop to contradict her, but set to work for humanity's sake to do what I could. One of the sorrows of those times was that the dead must be burled sg quickly. I took a lantern, went out to the burying ground, and hunted up the family lot. With the assistance of a negro man, whom Miss Martin discovered, I dug a grave. We went back to the town and found a coffin, and in the ' early summer morning we burled the dead man. As we came out of the graveyard I stopped Fanny Martin. "Have you been to the office?" 1 asked. "Yes, indeed." "Well, where ?s my message:" "There wasn't any." "The deuce!" I said, and walked on back with her. The spinster lady lin gered by her father's grave. Miss Mar- 1 tin seemed inclined to stay, but I knew j she could do no good there. I took her by the arm and led her back to the tel- \ cgraph office, and dictated some mes- ' sages that would bring answers. I left her clicking off a long message to somebody. . It was almost dark when a knock came on my door, and the grayish . negro boy put his head in and followed it by the rest of his body, carrying a yellow envelope. It was from the superintendent, telling me he would do what he could for me, but he feared I should be stopped, as quarantine ? was very strict. "If I don't get out, any way you * will be sure to get your tonic," I said to .' Fanny Martin. We had grown to be . famous friends. She was a smart, clever little thing, with a shrewd way . of looking at life, and a keen sense of . humor. She had made excursions ~ round about during the day, riding on ^ horseback. There were very few cases } loft, and they were going to move on ( to the next town. "The reports are exaggerated," she ' said; "but then that's what sells the papers. It's all in the day's work. Now, suppose you tell me what brought < you down here2" . , t <1 < ji / "The nurses' train.** "Yes, but before tint. Had you a secret sorrow? Had your wife died, or your sweetheart jilted you, that you valued life so lightly?" "My sweetheart had jilted mo, or refused to marry me, the night I started, but I can hardly say that I valued life much the less. I cm going back to try it over again." "What is the matter with you?" Fanny Martin asked. "You seem like a very respectable person. The President of the C. A. & S. seemed to think you wore a reliable man." "I am. I am too respectable. She says I am 'practical.' For example, ?he says that all I see in a yellow fever epidemic is Its effect on trade." "And you came down here to nurse and show her better?" "Not by a great deal!" said I emphatically. And then I told her exactly how it all happened. "And she wants a romantic lover?" "I suppose so." "Ah!" said Fanny Martin. if * if It seemed to me that men looked at me oddly, and shook hands with me ; more heartily than usual. My friends j ire serious, hard headed follows, a 1 ?cod deal like myself, not much given ; lo effusive expression; but one of them : actually called me a hero. It is very seldom that ladies visit tny office, but as I went in I saw a ;leam of summery apparel. A moment later there was a rush and a sob, ind Julia, actually Julia, was In my ' irms. "My darling girl:" I said. "What Is : the matter? Is your father ill? Is j anything wrong?" "No! No!

I am so proud of you!" And Julia, Julia who had scorned me. actually put her tear-stained cheek igainst my own, and then kissed me. I turned to Ransom.

As might be expected when my kidneys were in a disturbed condition, there was a distressing and inconvenient difficulty with the action of the kidney secretions.

Sick as I was, it was easier for rue to crawl around than to lie and worry about my little ones. So I got up after a few days, and let the girl go. I had noticed that she had sores on her face, hands and arms, but I paid no attention to that until Charlie, my youngest, began to pick and scratch himself. He was then ten months old, and the girl had paid more attention to him than to any of the others. Charlie wps fretful and cross, but as he was cutting teeth, I didn't think much of that. Even when a rash broke out on his face I wasn't frightened, because everybody knows that that is quite common with teething babies. Several of my others had it when little, and I thought nothing about it. " But the rash on Charlie's poor little face spread to his neck, chest, and back. I had never seen an}'thiug quite like it before. The skin rose in little lumps, and matter came out. My baby's skin was hot, and how he did suffer I He wouldn't eat, and night after night I walked the floor with him, weak as I was. Often I had to stop because I felt faint and my back throbbed with pain. But the worst pain of all was to see my poor little boy burning with those nasty sores. "I believed he had caught some disease from the girl, but some of the neighbors said he had eczema, and that is not catching, they told me. Yes, I gave him medicine, and put salves and things on him. I don't think they were all useless. Once in a while the itching seemed to let up a bit, but there was not much change for the better until a lady across the street asked me why I didn't try the Cuticura Remedies.
