The girl started, and her eyes jwcnt instinctively to the great etretch of common on her right, for it was late and dark, and London just then was ringing with a series of ghastly murders. But, being a young person of much coolness, she smiled the next moment as she took a quietly scrutinizing glenco at the mau who had now overtaken her. He was a stranger, but not of the genus murderer. Ho waa also a little puffed. "May I-er-see you home?" "Certainly not!" ?ho said severe ly "Oh !" he expostulated. 'T?o, upon my honor, it isn't my fault I wasn't introduced to you tonight. Digby swore solemnly he would, and then .he was so wrapped up in getting ready the slides of his stupid old lecture that nobody wanted to listen io" "May I inquire who you are?" ehe began. 4<My name is Beresford. I have no need to ask you who' jpou are," jhe added. "I have known for a long time. But tonight I heard them calling 3*ou always 'darling Miss ?Adair.' I've wanted to know you ior two years. I've watched you ipaBS my gate every day for the last two years. I always go to the win dow as soon as I've finished my breakfast and wait for you, and then again in the evening. I am eure," he added diplomatically, ?"that you will understand. You ieee at my age it isn't as if I were a boy"- ' "No, of course not," she agreed, with a cheerful alacrity that some ?how damped his rising spirits. (SI [remember now. I've heard my land lady speak of you. You Uve In ?that big red house facing the com mon, don't you?" ''You'll let me see you home, won't you? You're not going to ?quarrel with me again?" "Do go," she pleaded. 'Tm all right, and I'm so used to going about alone." "I hope you will allow me to see ?you safely back tonight at ' all ?events," he said stiffly. "Oh, if you insist/' she rejoined lightly.' "I was only thinking of jon, you know." "I'm riot sugar/' he suggested ir ritably. At the gate she turned and put out a small, friendly hand. "Good night, Mr. Beresford, and thanks very much. Oh-h-h! How .dare'y on?" Frank Beresford stood transfixed, lie had done nothing more alarming than raise his hat, and there she i?tood, with naming cheeks and an igry eyes, glowering at him like a youthful Fury. "What's the matter?" he inquir id helplessly. But she only repeated in a fresh ?burst of wrath: "How dare you? How dare you ?peak to me and walk home with me?" "Whatever do you mean ?" he de manded. "Upon my word I don't understand you. You were friendly enough just now." "Of course I was," chokingly. "I -I thought you were vour father'" "GoodwLordl" he ejaculated fee bly, and began to see daylight. Of course she had been frank and charming if she thought--but it was j hardly a flattering thought. 'And the reflection that his figure was not quite so slim as it once 'had been gave him a momentary twinge. But his sense of humor prevailed. I'WelL" he said cheerfully, "that being BO, don't you think you owe me an apology?*' "Apology 1" she burst out. "And what did you mean, by saying Kowold are you?" ' ''Thirty-five," he said penitently. ""But my father's sixty-five." "Thirty-five," she repeated scorn fully. "And how in the world" there were angry tears'In her voice -"how in the world waa I to* know, with your collar all up like that" He turned it meekly down. "And your foi all over your eyes" , He took it off. "And you look" "Yes," he assented ruefully, "I suppose I do. Still, couldn't you forget that rather immaterial fact and just remember that-that I'm very much in love with you ?" "Never!" she flashed out. "Why," turning on him in a fury of con tempt, "I never even knew , there was such a person as yourself!" And she shoved the latchkey into the door with a Vicious jab, ' .. ? . . . .

Then he waddled placidly to the upper gate and be ' gan to worW.his sluices, while Mar ger}* held absentmindedly on to the chain that hung down the slimy, weed covered wail. At the first swirl of the incoming water she lift ed her eyes, and a very material fact obtruded itself on her dreams. He waa there, in straw hat and flannels, standing on tho opposite side and beaming at her with the utmost af fability. She bowed coldly. Some how she vugueiy resented his being so high above her head. Ali the sluices were open now, the vater from above pouring with a thunderous sound into tho hollow space and making a turmoil in the lock like the fizzing of an extremely muddy brand of soda water. For a moment Margery's canoe danced like a ?traw, then-what was he shouting at her for like that? She glanced at him, half offended, half puzzled, saw his face turn frighten ed, his bund point wildly, then turn ed to swiftly realize her danger, for the prow of her canoe was jammed beneath a projecting beam halfway up the lock Eide. Already the stern was tilting up at a dangerous angle, and, even as, with a little gasp, she thrust her paddle against the wall, she knew it was too late. She heard the lock keeper shouting as he ran down from the gate, then another heave of tho water took the canoo and whirled it over like a feather. Margery felt herself swept help lessly down by tho rush of- it, and then followed TV hat seemed an in terminable time, in which the water swayed and buffeted and tossed her as it would, till suddenly there was a strong arm around her, apd her head rose above tho waters again without .effort of her own. He was there holding her up and swimming with the other hand. Certainly he was puning a little. He was feeling for something, the chain sjj? had let of, and In another moment he d grasped it. The lock keeper was there by now, and, the water being up to the top, they stood a moment afterward dripping on the bank. "Feel all right?" he inquired la conically. "Oh, quite, thank you," she ad mitted, with unaccustomed meek ness. "TJmph ! You're a nice young woman to go about 'protecting your self.' I His tone was distinctly ma licious. 'fWhat do you think now?" "I think/' she said, and the de mureness of her voice was belied by the mischievous sparkle in her eyes, "I think it's just as well this time that you didn't happen to be your father-and sixty-five.-" Even to the dullest and most un versed in the feminine mind kind of man intuitions occasionally come. And one came to Frank Beresford then, with the result that he bent and kissed her with a calm air of proprietorship that took her breath away quite as effectively as the wa ter had done a minute before. The lockman stared, then grinned sympathetically. "It's all right," Beresford assured him cheerfully. "The lady is-my wife." "Oh, how dare you?" she gasped, endeavoring to move away and fail ing ignominiously. "How dare you tell such a lie ?" "It's not a lie," he rejoined cool ly; "it's merely an anticipation." "But," she protested. "I never saifl," with a sudden access of dig nity-"I haven't made up my mind." "No, my dear child"-he was still irt?perturbable--?fbut you're such a long time about it that I've made it up for you. I shall always -be glad to save you trouble. Now, come along and see about getting dry."-Pictorial Magazine. Wioo Man of the Trolley. "Yes," said the conductor as he ive the motorman the double ring, "I can tell what day of the week it is by the size of money these young fellows have. Now, there is that kid in front just gave me a five dol lar note and made me hustle_for change. That's his" salary. He'll be walking downtown next Friday morning. That young woman there who just gave me a Hollar bill had to look through a pocketbook full of samples on Saturday morning to find a nickel." "But this 1B Monday," remarked the observant patron, "and I saw a man give you 5 cents just now. How do you account fdr that ?" A "Oh, that's easy," said the knight Of the cord. "He's married."--Bal timore News. . The Une Was Blocked. Johnny's papa is what Johnny terms a "railroad magnet," which may account for the fact that the infant's idea of heaven, is that, of a celestial railroad terminal, sub ject to the usual terrestrial delays.

A Little Light Conversation That Con tains a Hidden Meaning. It is hardly probable that thc barbers' union has any set rule? governing the acceptance of tips by its members, but it is a certainty that in some shops the tonsorial artists have a code of signals for mutual welfare. This was illustrat ed in one of tho best patronized shops in that section of Broadway known as "The Great White Light District" a few years ago. A customer of an inquiring turn of mind, who was undergoing the whole tonsorial process, from hair cut to shampoo, was greatly puzzled at the conversation exchanged be tween the barbers. The monotony of the phrases seemed to indicate that there was some hidden mean ing behind them. "Seen Jim today?" one barber would ask. "No. How's he looking?" "Oh, pretty fair." Sometimes the answer would vary. Jim was looking "pretty fair" or "out of sight" or "mighty badly." "Yes, it's a sort of signal that we exchange," admitted the man at the first chair. "You see, there are reg ular customers who generally wait for their own particular barber to shave them. Sometimes they are in a hurry and take the first man that happens to be idle. That man does not know whether to throw in a few extra frills or whether he would be wasting his tinier-a tip, you know so he asks the man who is in the habit of shaving the customer, 'How's Jim?' The answer guides him in his treatment of the man under the razor. 'Pretty fair* means a small tip. 'Out of sight' means 'nut in all the extras you can.' 'Mighty badly* signifies that the customer never tips, so don't waste any time on him." - New York Press. _ Using Milk. The proper use 'bf milk is little understood. Thousands of people drink a glass of milk without re moving the receptacle from their lips. No sooner does this mass of milk reach the stomach than the gastric juices curdle it and form masses of hard, tough and impene trable curd. If the digestion is suf ficiently vigorous, it may be taken care of, but few, have such a'diges tion. If the milk were taken slow ly, at the same time a piece of bread being eaten, it would be finely di vided, the curd would be broken up and the processes of digestion would proceed rapidly. Hence it becomes an evident rule that milk should never be drunk rapidly in any con siderable quantity. It should be slowly sipped or taken with a spoon or in connection with bread or some dry Cereal. Needed All the Water. in a little bayou so near the beach that the low tide rose and fell on the overgrown banks a "fiat; bot tom," paddled by an old darky, was shelved on a mud bank. The mud was too deep for him to get out and push, und his maneuvers with the paddle were proving less and less effectual. In his exasperation he saw a wo man stooping down at the landing some yards above to fill her pail from the stream. "Get out o' dat!" he called out angrily. "Ef ye takes a drop outen dis yere bayou till I gits afloat ag'in, I'll mek ye pay fer it ef I hev ter wade nsho' ter do it !" Satisfactory Reason. "I've'just been making my will. I have bequeathed everything I pos sess to my wife." "Then you did it in about ten words." "Not at all. The lawyer who drew it up for me used four sheets of paper." "What did he charge yon?" "Five dollars." "Then he's an honest lawyer. He wanted to make the service worth the fee."--Chicago Tribune. A? tho Romans Did. "Paw," asked the inquisitive kid, "when you were in Rome that time did yon do as the Homans do ?" ."I suppose so, my son." "Well, then, all I've got to say, Saw," chuckled the lad, who evi ently had before his mind's eye the wrong set of pictures, "is that you must have looked mjghty <unny go ing around in broad daylight wear ing nothing much but a long tailed shirt and a Roman nose."-New York Tribune. <?

EATING AND DRINKING. Results of an Excess of Food and the Effects of Fasting. Every living body requires a quantity of food that is commen surate with the tissues it consumes in th? performance of its functions. When nourishment is withheld, the body is forced to subsist on its own tissues. The fat is first appropriat ed, then the muscles and other structures. The emaciation and loss of strength are so rapid that life has rarely been maintained longer than ten days when neither food nor drink was taken. If, however, an abundance of water ia drunk, the wasting is greatly retarded, and life can be supported for a much longer time, provided that the body be kept at completo rest. Thus re stricted, fasting is often a .valuable adjunct to other measures in the treatment of disease. A limitation of the diet is moro frequently re sorted to than an entire withdrawal of nourishment. Restriction of diet is often valua ble also as a means of preventing illness. Most persons not employed in manual labor eat more than is requisite for their support. Overeat ing seldom yields an increase ol nutrition. The excess of food, on the contrary, imposes a burden upon the liver, kidneys and other organs whose office ia to freo the blood of effete matter. When this burden becomes excessive, illness is induced. Headache, lo, a of appe tite, lassitude and all other symp toms commonly assembled under the term "biliousness" are the usual manifestations of it. The accumu lation of poisons is further favored by neglect of drink, when too little water is taken into the system to maintain the secretions and carry off tho waste. Tho waste products which result from an overindulgence in meat are moro acutely poisonous than thoso from vegetables. They belong to the uric acid group of poisonous substances, which are regarded as particularly activo in the produc tion of gout, rheumatism and neu ralgia, or if the quantity of ani mal food taken be so excessive and remain so long in the intestines os to undergo decomposition through the action of bacteria, ptomaine oisoning is produced, and it may e so severe as to be distinguished with difficulty from typhoid fever. In the less severe cases relief is promptly Becured by abstaining from meat for a few days, hastening the removal of the toxic matter hy the drinking of as much pure water as the stomach will tolerate or by means of a laxative mineral water. Muscular exercise and bathing are also advantageous for prevention. Youth's Companion. His R?compense. A popular physician was much pleased with a certain aerated wa te: and by his E.ssiduous recom mendation procured-for it a celebri ty it justly deserved. The doctor acted solely in the interest of hu manity generally and expected no return. To his surprise there came one morning an effusive letter from the company, stating that his recom mendations had done them so much good that they "had ventured to send him a hundred"- Here the page came to an end. "This will never do," said the doctor. "It is very kind, but I couldn't think of accepting any thing." Here he turned the page and found the sentence ran : "Of our circulars for distribu tion." _ Dodging a Duke. One time the aged Duke of Sa voy, king of Cyprus and Jerusalem, was in love with the beautiful young Mme. de Valentinois, who had an estate at Monaco. Says the remi niscences of Mme. de Crequy: "He often came to Monaco without sound of trumpet or drum so as to give her an agreeable surprise. Mme. do Valentinois did not care in the least for her neighbor, who, more over, was a septuagenarian and humpbacked like a sack of nuts. -In order to put a stop to his visits she used to have his movements watch ed, and directly he passed her fron tier he waa saluted from all her batteries. Twenty-one guns was the precise number, sufficient to pro claim for miles around that his grace was taking an outing." A Financial Manager. Mrs. Peterby is a woman with a head for business. "Just see here. I have bought a beautiful rocking chair at auction worth $3 and only paid $2 for it. So, you. see, I have $1 clear profit. Don't tr.ll me after this that the women have no business sense." "Do you need the rocking chair ?" asked Mr. Peterby. "No." "Then what did you buy it for?" "To save money of course. How could I have saved $1 if I hadn't bought it, stupid?" . .-?- m o m - The house fly, with a total life of about ten days, develops in these per periods: Egg from laying to hatching, one-third of a day, hatohing of larva to first moult, one day- second ?aoiilt to pupation, three days; pupation to issuing of the adult, five days. - When a man drowns hie troubl?e in drink he always drowns what little common sense he has also. - The Lord hasn't time to help a man who ia too lazy to help himself. A BRETON LEGEND. Huge Granite Bowlders In Which Are Imprisoned Pagan Souls. Over all the valley of l'louma nac'h, most thickly along its sea edge, hugo strange shaped bowlders of red granite are scattered singly or ore heaped up in wonderfully balanced mounds. The mere geolo gist will tell you that these rounded rocks have been dropped by a gla cier and that the valley is the sito of a terminal moraine. Any well uneducated Breton of courso knows that this explanation is all non sense. My driver, being cheered by his pilgrim draft, gave me thc moro satisfying information that in every ono of these scattered bowlders is imprisoned a pagan soul; that thus are held fast until the day of judg ment tho Bretons who rejected the blessed teachings of Christianity and who paid for their still nocked sinning by being cast into stone. Onco ?a year tho enchantment is lifted. Then the accursed ones re sume their human forms and go down to the sea to drink-to drink long and deeply, that they may lay in a supply of deliciously cold salt water that will case them through their coming twelvemonth of tor ment in infernal fires. On the night of that great drinking it is well for all good Christians to bide at home behind barred doors. At cock crow the accursed ones como back from their sea cooling to the places where they belong, changing from men and women into rocka again as they surge onward, and surely crushing any spying mortal in their way. Only one escapo is recorded from the charge of that fearsome compa ny, that of a poor good man who in charity had carved on one of the en chanted rocks the blessed cross. In gratitude for that loving act the cross marked bowlder, a monstrous misshapen mass, a human form partly merged again into rough stone, halted before the poor good man who had sought to comfort it and so protected him until the evil host, dividing, had passed on, and he was saved. Then the grateful one, carefully skirting him as ho lay on the ground in fainting terror, went on also to its place.-Thomas A. Janvier in Harper's Magazine. A Sarcastic, Minister. Once a young preacher in Scot land who had charge of a mission station with a small salary was ap Snnted to the chaplaincy of a jail, n the Sunday previous to leaving his charge and before he began his sermon he announced the fact and Baid that he had three rea sons for his departure. "In the first place," he said, "I leave you be cause you do not love God, for very few of you dome regularly to church. In the second place, you do not love one another, for there have been no marriages among you during the three years I have been your minister, and in the third place you do not love me, for you con tribute very little to tho small in come I get. I have nothing more to say on thia subject. You will find my text in the fourteenth chap ter of St. John's gospel, secono? verse, 1 go to prepare a place f?r you.'" _ The Hoopoe Bird. The hoopoo is essentially a bird of the desert. A pretty tradition regarding the crest upon this bird's head tells that the crest was a gift from King Solomon in gratitude for shelter from the midday sun provid ed by a flight of hoopoos. The first decoration was a crown of gold, but as this brought unwelcome atten tions from fowlers the monarch changed the crown to a crest of feathers. The characteristic note of the hoopoo is produced as fol lows : The bird swallows as much air as possible and theil taps its beak upon the ground. The escaping air produces the "hoo-hoo-hoo" which has earned for the bird its popular name. _ The Jap Fan. In Japan the use of the fan wa* general from the sixth century to comparatively recent days, when every person, from the mikado on his throne even down to the school children, wielded a fan of special design, according to rank, profes sion or social standing. Lovers were wont to exchange fans as tokens of fidelity. The fan is still used by umpires in wrestling and other matches 'to give emphasis to their decisions, much as the auctioneer's hammer in this country clinches a bargain with a buyer. A Useful Medal.
