When night fell, she would have been glad to go back of her own accord, but he.' pride forbade her, and ahe remained where she was. Surely, abe thought, he wiJl ccme tomorrow. Bot that day, too, par led, and Dorothy began to realize that her husband had taken her at her word. As a matter of fact, ou ih morning of the second day Everard hi left word where he waa to be found a\ .be boase agent's office and inserted ? ie or two advertisements in the daily pupers-he could not afford many-and l?'en be told himself he conld do no more. Doro thy was dead to him-lost in the great whirlpool of London. . . . . . . . . A yeaT went by and Dorothy, pale and thin and shabby, was slowly drag ging her way through one of the great thoroughfares. Her heart was heavy, for there was a cradle in the poor room she had left and in the cradle a baby girl. What Dorothy Payn had gone through during the laat six months only she and her God knew. At one time she had all but starved, bnt one of that much sneered at class-district visitors -had found her out. given her sympa thy, money and fresh hope for the fu ture. Since her recovery abe had sup ported herself chiefly by typewriting an art she had learned in the days of her girlhood. A few days before Mrs. Rainforth, who had succored her, had written to tell ber of a situation for which she might apply. It was the post of school mistress in a school in the north of Ire land. Mrs. Rainforth had told Dorothy's ead story to the clergyman of the parish, and he bad promised that he wonld do what he could to get tho post for her, and she had good hopes that she would obtain it. It was not the life ehe would have preferred,:but, in contrast with the hardships of the last 12 months, it looked like paradise. Dorothy was now on her-way to meet one of the school managers who was examining candi dates for the place. On her way she passed a church. She slipped in and sat down. Thoughts of God came into the girl's mind. She had not said a prayer for years. Was there not something in the Bible about an swering prayer-some promise that whatever we pray for wonld be granted? She waa sure of it At once Dorothy re solved to put it to the test. She wonld pray for this post in Ireland. Sinking on her knees, Dorothy poured ont her petitions to the Father of her spirit, nor did she content herself with merely stating her request, hut returned to it again and again, beseeching the .Al mighty that this thing might be grant ed to her. She saw the school manager, and he professed to be well satisfied with the proofs which she famished of her fitness for the post. Three weeks went slowly by. Dorothy thought she had never known time to pass so slowly, and then ona morning a large envelope WSB handed to her. It bore the Bailyrowen postmark, and* her fingers trembled so that she could scarce ly tear open the covet. There waa noth ing but her few poer testimonials re turned tc* her, with a civil not? saying 4hat the managers regretted to be un able to avail themselves of her services. That was all. That was the victory of her prayer 1 Two mouths alter her great disap pointment Dorothy obtained a large manuscript which was to be typewrit ten as soon as possible. Harrying home, she threw off her hat and jacket, lit the lamp, and, taking a peep at her sleep ing baby, began her . task. The little thing slumbered on. She was so used to the click of the machine that it never disturbed her now. 1 The manuscript was a story by Gid eon Armstrong, a writer of whom she. had heard once or twice within the last few months. She dashed at the written pages and covered several sheets before it occurred to her that the handwriting waj familiar to her. It conld not he rarely it conld not be- Tea. it wen her husband's! So he was Gideon Armstrong 1 ' He was known, becoming popular, perhaps rich-at all events, well off-and she, tb o poor, discarded wife, waa starving in a garret, glad to earn a pittance by doing the work- of a clerk in connection with the manuscript which would fill his pockets and make him more famous than evert Dorothy clasped her hands before her on the table, rested her head on them and wept bitterly. At last she bent to her work and for a time wrote steadily, fiat soddenly she came to a full stop. "It waa impossible for Dodie to say more"- v Her own pet name, the name Everard had given her when they were lovers, looked ont at her from the paper ; put evidently by mistake for the name of the heroine. She must have been in his mind, she said to herself, or her name conld not have found its way to the pa perl She blnshed and her eyes shone. Bat what was she to do? Was she to ? hold her peace and let him go? If he indeed remembered her Then an idea struck her. Here and there throughout the manuscript she substituted "Dodie" for the name Ever ard had given his heroine. She thought he would be sore to notice this, to won der why it had been done, to make in* quiries. If he did not choose to do so, if he made no sign,'she could go on as she was doing. That night the manuscript was fin ished. Next day she took it hack to the office and received the few shillings that ^erc due to her for her labor. Then she went home and waited. For the next three days her heart beat with sadden painfulness at every ring that came to the lodging honse door. After that she began to fear as well as hope, and when week after week went by and her husband made no sign she knew the heart sickness of hope de ferred, and after that the torpor of de spair. / One evening she conld not work baby was worrying, and the time that should have been spent over ber type writer was given to soothing the little one's cries. Weary and half distracted on account of her neglected work, Dorothy was sitting down to her r ia - chine when she noticed that the baby's cough mixtura wan nearly fizi?Ltnl Only a few drops were left in the bot tle. It was scarcely 10 o'clock. The drug? '??../->. gist'H snop would oe open it sue wem ai once. Throwing a shawl over her head, abe went out, closed ber door behind her and began to descend the dark staircase. "Can you tell nie whether a Mrs. Payn lives here?" said a voice close to her. Dorothy was silent. She felt as if her heart must stop beating if she tri.nl to speak. "I thought I heard some one coming down. 1 shall do you no harm. Snreiy yon need not be afraid to tell me if Mrs. Payn lives in this house." "Everard, do yon want me? I am Dorothy 1" . ...... When Dorothy came to herself, 8he was lying on the floor of her room, her head neting on her hnaband's arm and baby screaming hint i ly in her cradle. Soon she was able to take the child and hush it. "Is that our baby, Dorothy?" said her husband, wondering. Dorothy blush ed and nodded and pnt the child into his arms. In the long talk that followed Everard explained that be had tried in vain to find his wife, and had only seen the name "Dodie" in his manuscript when it had been delivered to him along with a bundle of proof sheets that afternoon. After the talk there was a long si lence. Dorothy slipped ont of the room and got the baby's medicine, and when she came back her husband said to her "Do you know, I always believed that I should find yon one day ? I had an offer to go to Edinburgh, but I refused it be can.-o I felt certain that you were in London." Dorothy made no reply, bnt ehe threw her arms aronnd her husband's neck and kissed bim. He glanced down and saw that his wife's eyes were closed and her lips were moving. He thought that sho was thanking God, but ho did not know that what she had in her mind at that moment was an unanswered pray er.-John BL. Leys in Kew York Press. Siamese Football. The Siamese youth have only one game worth considering, and that one is indigenons-or native to Burma-the question of parentage being a much mooted one. At all events the game re quires a certain amount of activity and is very interesting to tho onlooker. It is a kind of football-in fact, I have heard it called Burmese football-played with a ball abont four inches in di ameter, made of braided rotan, entirely hollow, very strong and resilient. The number of contestants is not arbitrarily fixed, but play is sharpest when there are enough to form a circle abont ten feet in diameter. The larger the circle after it has passed the desirable diam eter the slower the play. The game is to keep the ball tossing into the air without breaking the circle. As a man fails at his opportunity he drops out, and when there remain bnt four or six the work is sharp and very pretty. The ball is struck most gener ally with the knee, but also with the foot, from in front, behind and at the sida Some become remarkably clever. I have seen a player permit the ball to drop directly behind his back, and yet without turning return it clear over his head and straight into the middle of the circle by a well placed backward kick of his heel.-Harper's Weekly. The Points of a Cat.

Men and women know less nbont the care of their own health than of any Other subject. That is the oldest and plainest kind of a fact. The farmer who keeps his cows and horses alive and well into very old age dies when he should bo in his prime. The woman who knows all about tho caro of linen, oilcloth, flowers, etc., knows nothing about her own mucous membrane or the care ol her children's teeth. Igno rance shortens by a third ibo normal lifo of the average man who passes 50. It kills outright thousands and millions in early youth. In some ways this niay have been a good thing. Men and women have died when their apt ive careers were ended and tho populations harried by the struggle for existence were not bothered unduly by the care of tho aged. When so bothered, as Eli Roclos so grewsome ly relates, it has been the custom of va rious peoples to hasten tho end for the old folks even to the extreme of murder Probably you tako a very solemn and mysterious view of doctors' wisdom. Learn that it amounts to very little. The surgeon is a remarkable chap, and ho has reduced cutting*'*and slicing to marvelous perfection. But his friend, the pill and prescription giver, can really do very little. He can only help nature along to a limited extent, and the more he lets nature alone tho better it is for the patient asa rule. With tho aid of drugs he can free the system from a clogged np ?tate, and that is about all he can do. When he has given yon castor oil or salts or something to make you perspire, his work is done. Will you kindly take, therefore, a lit tle advice and see if it does not improve your condition? Eat little-remember that what you eat does not give you strength. It simply repairs the waste of tissues. Your food is as important to yon as the oil on a locomotive's axles, not more important. Do not imagine that food to your body is what coal is to the engine. The engine gets its strength from coal. You get yours from the air that you breathe. The Swiss mountaineer with a few crackers will climb all over tho Alps, while yon, full of all sorts of fancy food, cannot follow him. Tho big dark men rowing your boat on the Nile go al) day on a hand ful of parched corn and a handful of dates. They eat meat perhaps once a month-yon could not begin to do their work with ten times the nourishment. Do not starve yourself, but of that there is never danger. Eat little while you must work. Eat enough once a day. and do no work for ' two hours after ward, and don't sleep within two hours of eating. Eat very slowly-nothing can exceed that in importance. Eat simple things and change your diet frequently from one simple thing to another. Never eat half grown things. Lamb, veal, young animals of any sort are poisonous. They are as bad as green fruit Nature means that her creations shall reach maturity and punishes those who kill and eat them prematurely. Eat regularly, al ways at the same hours, and chew care-, fully. Pay great attention to breathing. In that is the secret of long life and ener gy. You knew, probably, that your blood, having accumulated the impuri ties of the body, passes through your lungs to be cleaned. Through the lungs impurity leaves the body and through the lungs the blood takes up fresh sup plies of the strength on which your work is done. The electricity of the air is taken up by the red blood corpuscles and the life current goes back through the system full of vigor. Breathe in slowly and breathe out just as slowly. If yon work in an office, stop occasionally to take ten very deep breaths. Qo to your work when possi ble on the platform of the car and de vote that time to proper breathing. One hundred deep breaths per day slowly inhaled and exhaled, filling your entire lung capacity from the bottom to the very top, will easily add two inches to your chest measure in a year. No young man or young woman need have a fiat chest Proper breathing will give you proper lungs and hence a chest of the right sort Careful eating, simple food, slow eat ing, long chewing; avoidance of such American crimes as hot cakes, hot bread, hot biscuit, horrible hash, etc. ; regularity in ali functions ot the body -eating and sleeping at the same hours and sleeping the same number of boura with extra sleep one day in the week; careful breathing above alL You can live two weeks without food. You can not live five minutes without air, and that alone ehould make you understand the importance of the lungs. Try to make yourself strong and healthy, and if you succeed use your health to make your brain work. Think and talk to your fellows and take an interest in the politics and future of your country. If you don't do that, you might as well as not die of buckwheat cake poisoning as ice water degenera tion. -New York Journal. Walt Whitman's School.

Fertility of the Soil Largely Dae to tlie Atoiim. "If it wasn't fur dust," said ??rofess or Wiley, tho chief chemist of tho agricultural department at Washing ton, "man would have to devise a new plan of existence. He would he com pelled to provide himself with food by ?onie other means than agriculture. Yon could not have a garden or a farm without dust. It would not be possible for a crop to grow unless the soil con tained an organism capable of convert ing nitrogenous matter into nitric acid. Nitrogen is indispensable as plant food, and plants can assimilate it only when presented in the form of nitric acid, commonly known as aqua fortis. That is incapable of antolocomoUgn, and can be distributed only throng?! the dust which falls upon the soil and upon the leaves of trees and plants; hence dust is essential to the pursuit of agricul ture, and if it wasn't being carried about constantly on the breeze through the air we would simply have to quit farming. Animals wonld have nothing to feed upon, and wo would have nei ther meat nor bread nor vegetables. "I have been spending some years.' continued Professor Wiley, "in the in vestigation of tho agricultural value of ??ust, and it is a very important sub ject. The soil is continually being re vived and enriched from the particles that are floating about in the atmos phere. They como from two sources first, atoms of the earth's surface caught up by the wind and distributed else where, and, second, what wo call cos mic dust-that is. mineral matter of meteoric origin. "We are getting gradually to under- < stand its quantity, its value and the important part it plays in agriculture. The heavenly bodies ure constantly shedding fragments of iron and other mineral substances, which fall with great velocity and when they reach the atmosphere that surrounds the earth are heated by friction and catch lire by contact with the oxygen. They are then burned to nahes and scattered in minnie and invisible atoms. .Some of the larger pieces that become detached from tho stars reach tho earth without being entirely consumed. Wo call them meteors, but the little particles that permeate tho air, because of this per petual and violent bombardment from the stars, are composed of phosphoric acid, potash and other chemicals, which are absolutely essentiul in renewing the fertility of the soil. "What wo call terrestrial dust is also of great importanco to agricnltnre. In many places the soil is almost entirely composed of particles that have been left there by the winds. This is partic ularly trae of soils that are made up of volcanic ashes, which are carried im mense distances from the craters. A considerable percentage of tbe soil on the earth's surface was originally vol canic dust, which has been distribnted by that good friend of man we call the wind. Pompeii and Hercnlanenm illus trate* the great depth to which volcanic dost may reach. These are called Eo lian soils. "The dust from the streets of cities is of a composite nature, and carries all sorts of fragments and atoms in va rions stages of decay. It has a high de gree of agricultural significance, be cause it is loaded with germs of all kinds Some of them ore very useful and some are injurious. The effect upon the nubiic health ie not injurious except where the dnst carries pathogenic germs -that ia, the germs of disease. As an illustration, the sputum of a consump tive, if ejected on the sidewalk, is re duced to dust when it dries, and is then distributed through the air in the form of germs. If they find lodgment in the langs of a human being whose physical condition allows them to re vive and grow, the disease gets a foot hold and can be conveyed from one to another."-Chicago Record. Theae pf en Were Not Modest. A modern scientist assures us that men of real genins are always proud, and he gives the following examples as proofs of the truth of this statement When Mirabeau was dying, he said to his Servant, "Prop np my head care fully, for it is the most remarkable head in ali France." Michael Angelo wrote, in 1542: "All the differences between me and Pope Julias arose from the fact that Raphael and Bramante were jealous of me and tried to overthrow me. Yet everything that Raphael knows about art he learn ed from me." Rossini addressed some of his letters to his mother as follows : "To Mrs. Ros sini, the mother of the distingoished master. " Finally, Schopenhauer, when he was asked where he wonld like to be buried, replied, "The place does not matter, aa posterity will know well enough where to find me." These are certainly striking examples in some respects, but it wonld not be difficult to find others quite as striking of real men of genius who were noted for their modesty. * They Knew. Two men were standing outside a jeweler's window admiring the gorgeous display of glittering gems that lay be fore them. Presently ono of them, pointing to an object in a red plush tray, said: "Just look at that scarfpin represent ing a fly. Any one can tell that's not real." "Well, I should Hunk so," answered his friend. "Whoever saw u common fly with such a bright appearance? Why, it makes me weary wheu^I think that the jeweler who produced that fondly hoped that some one wonld pur chase it to deceive his friends. If I saw that on a man's scarf, I could tell di rectly that it was enameled imitation." At that moment tho object of their condemnation moved across the tray, flew in tho air and vanished. The two men looked at each other, gasped and moved away withcu^a word. Happy is the man or woman who can eat a good hearty meal without suffering afterwards.
