"Mind you, I'm not one to rave," Stafford went on. "Some lovers do, J know, but I flatter myself I'm not that kind of man at all." ' "Yes, you flatter yourself," muttered Jim. "Eh ? Oh, I onlv wish von knew her!" "I know hundreds of her." ! "She's not like other girls." i "Of course she isn't" "In the first place, as I have told ! you, she is perfect." "And in addition to that?" "Oh, you wouldn't understand, j Jim, if she refuses me, I shall die!" j "Otherwise I suppose you have de- j termined to be immortal." "Jim, advise me. You're a man j of the world." "That is why I shall do nothing of the kind." ' T ?t-l. "TAnlfl T ilictiro VftJl JL WI5.I1 \UU HlflUU. JL u?rc>?**v. j ? , I'd be only too pleased to take your ! advice if"? "If I advised you to do as you i think best. And what would be the j use of that? It would be like spur- j ring a bolting horse." "Look here!" said Stafford, with ; an air of inspiration. "I've a jolly j goocUmind to speak to her point blank and be done with it. I can't go on like this. It's making an old man of me. And at the worst she ! can only condemn me to a lifetime i of misery." "And what is a lifetime of misery, after ali?" asked Jim. "You can easily compress it into a few weeks. Look at me, for instance." "You?" Stafford looked slightly incredulous. "When 1 was a mere boy?ah, it i must be some six months ago now," i said Jim solemnly, "I, too, was in | love. But she told me she would al- j ways be mv friend, and she hoped ! that I should find some one more J worthy of me/' He shook his head j mournfully. ."We'l," he continued, j "to cut a long story short, she was a : better friend to me when she said j that than she over expected to be. ! And as ior the /some ouc more J worthy/ their name is legion, hut none of 'em are worthy enough." "I hate that kind of cheap talk, Jim/' said Stafford impatiently. "So d:? J, Jim replied. "But they all say it. It's their way of letting you down lightly/' Stafford looked at him reproachfully. Jim 7-ose and clapped him on the shoulder. - > -i * ?? 1 ! t _ "jVly dear out ciiap. ne saw, uie world isn't going to stop laughing because a girl has curly hair and a man takes himself seriously about it.

"How did you know that?" cried Stafford. "It's either that or the way she sings." "Yes," Stafford responded eagerly, "she does sing, you know, only privately, of course." "Not much, but often," Jim suggested. It was the last straw. Stafford picked up his hat. "I believe you are turning into a r> /! nvnin T>yv> V J-, c\ o??ir?

"she in list have a name, however unworthy." 11 StaiFord whispered in his car and S rushed from the room. Jim stood 11 motionless before the fireplace. 17 "The same ;rirl!" he said, with a sigh. "Poor old Stafford!" And he r1' tilled his pipe. But she accepted Stafford. T1 "Of course she is six months older now," Jim reminded himself. 11 "And a woman grows more inelined to accept something less than perfection as the months roll by. It makes a difference." "And now you're the happiest man in the world?" lie said when ^ Stafford imparted the great news to . him a day or two later. 11 "I suppose so," said Stafford, adding hastily, "Of course I am." Jim appraised him with a keen glance. "Her parents," Stafford proceed- 511 ed rather inconsequently. "are all in favor of an early marriage." 11 "Lucky man 1" "And of course," said Stafford, c "there is no doubt, as her father u. says, that the sooner we gel it over 1: the better."

"Stafford/' said ho, pointing the finwor nf s"firn :>t his friend, "she ^ is absolutely perfect, remember. You said so yourself.'' 11 Stafford shuffled. "I said she was 11 as perfect as a woman could be." "'Absolutely perfect' were the ^ words you used." g "That's not evidence. I swear it. Q! I had myself perfectly well in m hand.

Within each of these initials ! iere is drawn the figure of some j lint, or some incident of which the I dlowing chapter tells is illustrated, j 'here are two columns on a page, j ad nowhere is traceable the slightid irregularity of line, space or foruition of the letters.

Men of science tell of the exist-1 enc-e in Mexico-of a "lake of ink/' j The body of water or ink or whatever it is is so covered with the ashes from the adjacent volcanoes as to appear a part of the surrounding ground, which is all of the same dull tint. At first the party of pioneers who discovered the lake inclined to the theory that it was but a mere hole, but the condition of ' 1 ljl P ^ A__ V _ tne clonics 01 one 01 me party who fell into it quickly disproved this, for tlie dirt left an indelible stain. It was called ink forthwith, and, as it blended readily with alcohol, one of the draftsmen of the partv took the occasion to supply himself with a good cheap quality of drawing ink. Don't Talk Your Aches and Pains. As soon as possible dismiss from the mind every suggestion that has to do with illness. If you have had an operation and it is over, let it glide into the shadowy background of memory. Do not dwell upon it. llo not talk about it. Cultivate thought about others, about the great round world, about its heroes and its martyrs, its battles and its victories, its happy homes and loving hearts, but utterly turn from the night side of suffering, except as you may relieve it. and dwell in the l>lesse<l sunshine.

The old Jewish story is that Car' ' J ' t \.\Z _<? iU. lapilllOS, Tnc U00Mvee[x*r 01 ujc Judgment Iia!l under the employ of Pontius Pilate, struck our Lord as he was led from the hall, saying: '"Go faster! Get on!" Jesus turned to him and said, "I go, but you tarry until I come again." Cursed though lie was, he afterward became a Christian and was baptized. In tradition lie still lives, falling into a protracted trance every thirty years. Another legend tells us that Jesus, almost overcome by the weight of the cross as he was carrying it to the place of execution, stopped before the shop of a cobbler and rested 1 * * ? J1- - It _ i1 j 1 ills Jiana against tne wan ui me building. This enraged the cobbler, whose name was Aliasuerus, to such an extent that he threw a last at "the Man of Sorrows, crying to him: "Get off! Away with you!" Jesus rebuked him, saying, "I go and go quickly, but command thee to wander over the earth until the judgment day." This last legend is the one given by Paul von Eitzen, bishop of Slcsvick, in the year 3547. A third legend says that Ahasuerus had been detailed to bring Jesus into t lie Judgment hall of Pilate and that lie was rushing our Lord along at a swift gait when Jesus complained of weariness and requested to sit down on a stone by the wayside. This request was refused by * ? ? i i 1 ..... I . the heartless wreton, who cxc-aiined: "-Move on, Jesus, move on! Thou shalt not rest !" Jesus replied, "I go my way unto everlasting rest, hut thou shalt go away and never rest until 1 return to earth again." What Wit Is. Dr. Isaac ]harrow, a famous English divine and a man of brilliant wit himself, gave the best definition of wit yet known, and he confessed that "often it consisteth in one hardly knows what." He said in his. old fashioned style: "Sometimes it lieth in a pat allusion to a known story or in seasonable application of a trivial saying or in forging an opposite tale. Sometimes it playeth in words and phrases, taking advantage from the ambiguity ot' their sense or the affinity of their sound. Sometimes it lurkctli under an odd similitude. Sometimes it is lodged in a sly question. in a smart answer, in a quirkish reason, in a shrewd imitation, a tart irony." a lusty hyperbole or a startling metaphor. Sometimes an affected simplicity and sometimes a presumptuous blunt ness giveth it being. Sometimes it arises from a lucky lotting upon what is strange; sometimes i'rom a crafty wrestling of obvious matter to the purpose.'' A Wonderful Dresr. On the occasion of a garden party at Benares, given by the viceroy, a wonderful dress was worn by the Countess Paiovolovetseh, which excited much admiration. Seen from near at hand the gown seemed to be made up of tongues of blue flame, with occasional streaks of bright light flashing across and all resting on a bed of liquid tire. Then the appearance would change, and its wonror sei'rood to be wranncd ill multicolored flame. Jt was noticed that the countess never sal down, but was constantly on the move. During her peregrinations a friend asked brr about her marvelous costume and discovered that it was a simple gown of rich brocade ornamented with tirellie--. There were 535 of these little creatures, each in a liny net, fastened to the dress. Dr. Bull's Pills for Liver Ills. One pill a dose. Box, 50 pills, 10 cts.
