Come along now, just own
rup like a man. What was it?jilted,
hopeless infatuation with a married
woman, or what?"
Jack Holden looked at the speaker,
an amused expression playing around
his lips.
"Veiy clever, but a long way off the I
truth," he said quietly, throwing his
^ cigarette into the fire and looking
S somewhat moody before him.
"There must be some good and sufficient
reason for keeping you from
joining the earthly majority."
Jack gazed Intently at his companion,
and then his eyes roved from one
to the other of his men friends who
sat around him.
He had never told the romnnce of
^ bis life to a living soul, yet somehow
to-night he felt that the secret 'would
no longer remain with him?that he
must speak of it?of her. Yet why he
felt this way he could not analyze.
"She was a flower-girl," he said,
softly, and at the information bie
I friends showed some astonishment, for
| Jack Holden was to them the very
essence of all that is fastidious and of
9JT the first water in excellence. No one
f spoke, so Holden continued:
$ "I had often passed her on the way
j to the city. She made a bright spot
I of beauty in a sea of human beings.
L whose one aim seemed to be to outrun
I one another in the race for wealth.
1 "Her eyes were beautiful, and as she
1 Btood selling the flowers I wondered
& what mysteries her tongue could re'
veal when her eyes alone spoke of a
; eoul of snow."
L "By Jove! old man. you had 'em
I pretty bad," murmured the friecd in
^ the armchair.
W "After about three months I missed
her from her usual place, and then I
realized by the emptiness of the day
that her eyes had taught me something
that would remain with me forever.
"That day as I "was walking back
to catch my train from the office, 1
felt a jerk at my coat, and, turning, I
found that a small child wag looking
up at me appealingly.
"In another moment I had learned
from his lips that my flower gill was
ill?dying, he. said?and had asked him
to beg me to go to her and to speak to
L her just once before she passed into the
^ Great Unknown. Not in those words.
of course, but I understood what the
boy meant."
"You don't mean to say that you actually?"
"I didn't hesitate a second, but. telling
the dirty mite who had arrested me
to lead the way, we both walked as fast
as we could in the direction of her
humble dwelling."
"But, surely, my clear boy "
"Shut up, Gordon! Jack can't tell
us if you keep on interrupting."'
Gordon immediately relapsed into

Bounded strangely sad and weak.

by her illness of a week.

"Y was only too glad to be ef any
service to her. I told her, and tben f?r
about a minute we sat in silence, which
was only disturbed by the terrible
cough that : early broke my heart to
JJSU'Il IU.
"'It's a mail wish I had. and I
don't think I can tell you now you
have come/' she said.
"I wondered what she had wanted
me for. but I thought I would wait and
see if she would tell me of her own
accord.
" 'The doctor says I am dying and
I shan't live the week out: so, ufter
nil, .there isn't much harm in me telling
you.'
"Again that terrible cough made me
long to take her in my arms and comfort
her. but something in the solemnity
of our meeting and in the eyes
that were raised to mine dispelled all
such longings, and I could only sit and
pity her.
"Presently a little band was placed
over mine, and tho touch of it thrilled
me as no amount of admiration had
ever done before.
" *It'd only be for two days, after
all. and it wouldn't hurt no one. all
said and done, and it would make me
the happiest girl on God's earth.'
"I was at a loss to grasp her meaning,
but the expression on her face wouldn't
allow me to take the matter lightly.
"I will do anytb'ng for yon. Toll me
what you want?tell me. little one. for
I cannot oear to see you look at me
like that.
"She had not released my hand and
now" she pressed it tenderly. Perhaps
we made a strange-looking picture, but
there was no thought in either of our
minds of anything like sordid realities.
I " 'You can't mind if I love you, do
[ you?' she asked, while her great eyes
sought their answer in mine, and as
she spoke she had half risen in her
bed, and I could see the quick rise and
fall of her breast as che sat waiting
for my answer.
"What could I say to her when my
heart was brimming over with a medley
of emotions such as I had never
known before? I think I was mad for
the time, and I would have done anything
for her?and I did, for, half an
hour afterward I was walking home
with the knowledge that I had promised
to marry my flower-girl."
"The mischief you had!" said Gordon,
as Jack finished speaking.
"Yes," continued Jack, "and the next
day we were married."
"Oh!" murmured several voices, and

yourself in for anything, did you, foi

There was a blending of sympathy
and surprise in Gordon's voice as he
spoke.
"What have you done with her?"
"I sent her to school. We both determined
to make the best of it. She
has been away four years, and is od
her journey home at this very moment."
Just .then there was a light knock

of rare beauty ran toward Jack and

Why Russia Is Late.
A paragraph in the cable news states
that Russia was to have had a team
at the shooting match in Great Britain,
but owing to the difference in the calendars
some of the men failed to get
to England in time.
Maybe her oalendar is one reason
why Russia is behind the rest of the
world in so many ways. She still
uses the one devised by Julius Caesar
nearly 2000 years ago. It was Cae6ar
who invented "leap year" by ordering
36G days for every year divisible by
four.
By the time of Pope Gregory VII.,
liowevtr, the calendar had fallen behind
the true time by eleven days: so
the Pope devised the present calendai\
wherein all years exactly divisible by
four, by 400 and by 4000 are leap years,
while those divisible by 100, 200 and
300 are not.
When the calendar was introduced
and the date set ahead there were riots
in various places, with the cry "Give
us back our eleven days!" Not in
Russia, though. ..
English Ideas of Canada.
Curious accounts come to hand of
the colonists who went to Western
Canada. A proportion of them, as
might have been expected, entertained
extraordinary notions of what life in
the wild west would be, and the majority
of them seem to have armed themselves
with as many guns as they
would have needed to fight Indians
twice a week. Unfortunately some of
these warlike individuals had not
taken the preliminary step of learning
to shoot, and the air seems to have
echoed with the discharge of their
guns let off in pure wantonness, so
that the police had to interfere to
check their enthusiasm. 1 hose of them
who were sportsmen were genuinely
disappointed, as the buffalo has entirely
disappeared, and as to the redskins
of Fenimore Cooper's novel, he exists
no more, since tbe Indian of to-day
saturates himself with gin, wears tbe
same clothing as the white man. and
goes to church regularly.?London

Heavy Tires For Automobiles.
On ar>^rnir?t nf tho frennpnt repairs
required by tbp pneumatic tires of
heavy automobiles, and their great
cost, the experiment of substituting
solid tires cn the rear wheels has recently
been made, and one of the results
shown is an increase of tractive
power in climbing hills. It is said
that hills which could not be climbed
"by a vehicle having a complete set of
pneumatic tires were surmounted by
the same machine after solid tires had
been put on the rear wheels. At the
same time the vibration was not in*
creased to an uncomfortable degree. .

Should Doctors Wear Badges.
The Lancet and the New York Medl*
cal Journal have been discussing some
distinctive badge for medical men. A
case is related in support of the suggestion
where a surgeon of eminence,
witnessing an accident, went to the
assistance of the injured man, but
"on seeing a "vyell-dressed gentleman
in a irucii L-uui uiju eim uui rueu up
and take charge of the case" retired
without making himself known, leaving
the case, as he supposed, in the
hands of a brother medico. It turned
; out that the "well-dressed gentleman" _
I was not a medical man at all, but a |
commercial traveler, who had been
j actuated merely by instincts of hu- P
manity, and who afterward confessed
that he had suffered great uneasiness
as to the possible results of his ama- *
tern* treatment. j(
, It has been suggested that medical
, men wear watch charms that should
' be not only characteristic of their proi
fession. but, also emblazoned with
, symbols distinctive of their alma
, mater. The Medical Journal, however, t
considers that some International .
badge should be adopted like that of t
I He ited L-ross society.

> The Life of a Seed. ^
> The . United States Department ot
( Agriculture is making experiments for 0
, the purpose of determining the ex- 'J
treme vitality of seeds. Over a hun- ?
dred species of plants have been v
packed in a soil consisting of dry clay b
s enclosed in pots, and buried at varying e
i depths underground?eight sets at a ?
. depth of six inches, twelve at a depth
. Df twenty, and a third set of twelve
at a depth of three and a half feet. tj
At the end of one, two, three, five. _(
' seven, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, p,
thirty, forty and fifty years a set from e]
' 2ach depth will be exhumed and tested.
The results of the experiment are ^
likely to be of extraordinary value to jj
k agriculturists, both commercially and g]
I scientifically. Incidentally, it may be ^
k recalled, says Harper's Weekly, that t<
authentic cases are on record which s1
prove that certain seeds have the
power of sprouting after having been f(

Knitting For ?rvons Patients.
I read that a famous physician has
said to his nervous patients, "Go home
and do fancy knitting for half an hour
every day." The prescription is an 'g
excellent one, says the London Graphic.
Nothing soothes the nerves and n
employes the mind pleasantly, yet not n
fatlguingly, like needlework. It takes n
people from the restless habit of introBpection
and worry, and acts as an
anodyne on tired nerves. Our mothers e]
appreciated .this occupation rightly n
when they made their daughters do a
portion of dainty needlework every I ^
day, preferably for others. Per- ' n
haps a great deal of the neurotic tendency
in women nowadays is attributable
to the fact that they neglect the
soothing qualities of needlework, with
Its pleasant attendant, cheerful talk, E
and only indulge in exciting games or 0
rushing about. u
