Varied natl multiple ne tbo Bummer senda are the means which the fate3 presiding* over love affairs employ to brins tho one mau uud tho one woman together.. It was tho shuttle train that boa Its terni luus at tho Fifty-eighth street ele vated stutlon, where Sixth avenue ends its devious journey past wholesale warehouses and small shops and de partment] stores, .with a brief dip intd the gayojtles of theaters and dane* halls in tho frivolous Thirties, and.Cen tral park begins Its epreodlug progress through tho city's heart, that brought about tho determining moment in the jives of Madge Bowan and John Clev eley. . ; i The interference of this particular agent WOB the moro remarkable be cause tho lives of the two persons .most concerned with lt bad till a few months before been lived more than 2,000 miles away. . .'' It was in February that tho pretty daughter of the most prosperous physi cian in a thriving Colorado town had . bidden a tearful farewell to the fond fa ther and mother who had at last ac quiesced in her desire to go east to de velop ber artistic talent. The talent found its chief expression ia fluffy impossibilities masquerading as Easter chickens und other seasona ble novelties, with which she decorated menu cards, to thc infinite admiration of her many friends. J Her art, therefore, bad brought ber to New York. (And lt waa art,- likewise hers, that had brought John Cleverley. For, though the two bad been boy and girl sweethearts together, thc sudden development of Miss Rowan's artistic genius bad apparently absorbed all ber sentimental impulses, and before lear lng Colorado she had told Cleverley that she could never marry hun. She bad not been a month in town before the young man made his ap pearance ot her Fifty-eighth street studio with a more or less plausible story of having been sent east by his finn to look up an important case. Art had languished during that first month, when visits to unsympathetic dealers had convinced Miss Rowan of the dearth of the demand for dinner cards, and the cordiality of the auburn haired, paint bespattered vision that greeted Cleverley when he climbed the five nights to her studio augured well for his hope of taking her back with him to Colorado. But the day after his arrival she had actually succeeded in selling a dozen menu cards, and again Cupid drooped Lis diminished head un der Art's overshadowing wing. So furiously did, Miss Rowan apply herself to ber profession under the im petus that lt was only after much persuasion that she consented to spend an afternoon nt the beach j the " Satur day after Cleverley's arriv?t; . * . "You know, Jack,"1 abo. had said, "you haven't the. responsibilities- that I have. It is natural, for you to want to go about and eeev things, but I've just started a new pond lily men? serles, and I must have lt finished to morrow night ?n?^the studio must tte cleaned tomorrow Afternoon anyway." But as Cleverley looked unconvinced and rueful she added contritely: ??Well) I'll go this once.; ; But don't you come here, for everything Will be In such a mess, ru meet you at the Fifty eighth street. elevated.; station at .8 . -o'clock." .y::''; ;.., , " iM ' And to this arrangement, after some argument, Cleverley was forced tp ^ac quiesce. . .Jij$J||?j$?V:.-1 On Saturday the ifact &at she knew she would have .to refuse;Jack Clever ley for1, thef last ; time '. lent ? pleasing melancholy ' to Miss Rowan's prepara tions for t?eiaf^?^p^: AtS- a" HI sion to Cleverle^ .s^ wear the rather barbaric necklace o^ topazes and .Cripjpie: ?r^kf,?old which had been his last birthday offertag to. her, and ?he therefore sought it lu. the little Jewel boxi whi<^ ..had ?ot ; been takeu ffdni; Its rdaeo of conceals eui; in the bottom of her trunk since her erv rival in New York.. ' -:>ir; Her sw-pr^;^ after a seawah ihat was at first: periune spectacle" living alf" the reportera in New York would be called in and she would rue the day that she aud her worthless truck ever came out of Colo rado. Under thia onslaught, which she was not experienced enough to trace to its bibulous origiu, poor little Misa Kowan blanched, wilted and finally rushed from the house. And it waa only ofter Rho had walked several bewildered blocks that 6hc uwoke to the realiza tion of ber appointment with John Cleverley nt 3 o'clock. A glonc? 2* tor watch told her that it waa already ten minutes after tho hour, and she has tened her steps, more with the idea of at once unburdening herself of her troubles than with an attempt at punc tuality. As she turned up Sixth ave nue she was surprised to notice a densa crowd gathered at the terminus of lire elevator structure. But, follow tri?? their uplifted graze, her pulses halt? ed teasely at tho sjght that met ber eyes. Slanted toboggan fashion from the terminus of the Fifty-eighth street track the wreck of what had been the rear car of the nhuttie train topped perilously in midair, 'prevented from plunging into the thoroughfare below by the weight of the other cars that etlil held it to the track. The wreck, of tho large frame bump er at the fend of tho Hue lay atrewn along tho trolley tracks below, and un der the suspended peril COO yelling, ex cited people surged and clamored. For one moment Miss Bowan did not grst p the^igniflcanee of the EC euc. But the next, the hour,, the possible sighineanco of the event to ber smote her with sudden alarm. Whatif John Cleverley had been on board that trahi? No thought bf any other victim of the wreck marred the pure selfish ness of tho sudden fierce awakening of lovo In her heart With blanched face and Wide, excited eyes she rushed into the crowd. "What ls the matter? When did it happen?" she gasped at the first curi ous onlooker that barred her progress. "Train jumped tho track. Shot past tho station. Broke over the bumper. Fifty people injured. Boosevelt hos pital," he explained, with terse impor tance. "What timer' "Oh, around five minutes to' 3 o'clock." And thus was the last doubt in the young woman's excited mind dispelled. The imnge of Cleverley injured, bleeding-dead, perhaps-rose sudden ly and was as suddenly blurred by the quick blinding rush of tears. Scarce'/ knowing what she did, she jumped Into a hansom and gave a brief direction to Boosevelt hospital. . Then, leaning back against the cush ions, wholly oblivious of the frankly staring pedestrians on the avenue, all the newly awakened emotions of ber nature found their outlet In passionate sobbing. What happened hi the next iiour, thronged with visits to hospitals ?nd police stations, with frantic tele phone calls to Cleverley*? betel and to [ils address in a downtown office, Miss Rowan does not remember to this day; for at the end of the search, when she thought that only the morgue loy un explored and she plunged despairing ap the five long flights that led to ber studio, it was all blotted out by one luminous Incident-the opening of the studio door by Cleverley himself. C'?ven Cleverley admits that what she ?aid then doesn't matter. It ls doubt ful if she knows, but . he had never ex plained anything to Madge Bowan, tvith hex; two arms about hts neck and 1er check warm and wet against bis* >wn, before, and bis remembrance Is laterally blurred. - ' *'i^hyf of course I was on that tratn," ie explained, "but I got bf??t,FJfty ?lghth street Station with nil the other lassengers.

His interj aviation of tho part was so striking r.n? ?inusual that the play had a rut?, -^precedented at that time, continuing for 200 nights. Of his ex perience In playing this part Slr Henry gave, some years before his death, an Interesting account. "I can always tell," he said, "when the audience ls with me. It was not with me on tho first night of 'Hamlet,' which ls perhaps curious, considering my subsequent success. On the first night 1 felt that the audience did not go with me until the first meeting with Ophelia,, when they changed toward me entirely. But as night succeeded night my Hamlet grew in their esti mation. I could feel it all the time, and now I know that they like lt that they are with me heart and soul." -Harper's. How an Orang Outang Travel*. It ls a most Interesting sight to watch an orang outang make its way through the jungle. It walks slowly along the larger branches In a semi erect attitude, this being apparently caused by the length of its arms and tho shortness of its legs. It Invariably selects those branches which int erm in SIOL with those of a neighboring tree, jn approaching which it stretches out Its long arm and, grasping the boughs apposite, seems first to shake them as if to test their'strength and then de liberately swings itself across to tho next branch, which it walks along, as jefore. It does not jump or spring, as nonkeys usually do, and never appears to hurry itself unless some real danger presents. Yet. In spite of its apparent ly slow movements, it gets nlong far .pricker than a person running through he forest beneath.-Popular Magazine, Sickened ol the Scalpel.

Love Tokens? ..The ancient English custom of giving love tokens on the 20th of August died out nanny years ugo. The custom was for "enamoured muy des and gentle women" to give to their favorite swains us tokens of love little handkerchiefs three or four Indies square, with a but ton or tassel ut each corner and a Bunill one tn the center. The ?uest of these favors was edged with narrow jrold lace or twist and then folded np in four cross folds so that the middle might be seen. They were worn by the fortunate swains In their hats sr ou the breast. The favors were gen erally tho handiwork of the "faire mayde" herself, and well tho liked to work the most beautiful figures she could for her favorite suitor, but they became so much in vogue In Queen Elizabeth's time that they were sold ready made In the shops. This, of course, destroyed the romance of the custom, und hence Its death. Trapping- the Parson. As William Morris was au English man, lt may not seem remarkable to Americans that he did not always get hu Jokes right end first. In a biog raphy of her husband Mrs. Edward Burne-Jones tells of the euee with which he reversed them. They bad all been asking conun drums. "Who killed his burlier Cain?' asked Burne-Jones. Morris fell into the trap at once. "Abell" bo shouted. Later in the day be came in laugh ing. "I trapped tho parson, by Jove!" be exclaimed. "I asked him, 'Who killed his brother Abel?' ** 'Cain,' he said at once. 44 'Har I said. 'I knew you'd say that. Every one does.' I came away and left bim puzzled enough, and I doubt if he's found out yet what tho matter was." Sharks Delicate Zn Captivity. Sharks are rather delicate in captiv ity, and It is difficulty to keep them in aquariums. Whatever caro may be bestowed upon them they do not seem to be able to stand confinement, how ever large the tank or pool may be. In captivity sharks swim round and round th:,- tank, nine times out of ten taking one course and never reversing. A shark has been known to keep Its course for three or four months with out, change and, except for food, never halting, so far as lt was observed. It would keep going all day long and wouid be found going in the morning Just the same. If food was placed in its way, it would stop for several min utes and eat, remaining headed tko same way. Presently it would start on again In the same direction on its rounds, moving slowly unless dis turbed. Necessities of a Happy Life. There are two fundamental necessi ties for a happy life-namely, a useful occupation for mind and body and an outlet for unselfish affection. The first requisite for enduring happiness is in having work to do in which one be lieves. Such work always aims at tho accomplishment of something useful. While this work must be done with fair efficiency, it should not be accom panied with too much drudgery or ex haustion. The simpler the plan on which one's living is modeled the less will be the complications and disturbances caused by an overelaborate scale of existence and the more time will be left for the real duties and pleasures of life.-Prom "Vital j Questions," by Dr. Henry D.

What Observation . ulcut?s to Ile the Arera?o Vinn'? Dally Food Need. Accepting tho daily dietary stand arda which aro based upon observa tion? as to what pcoplo are accustomed to consume, it ls plain that thu overuse mau doing from light to moderato muscular work must tako each day approximately HG grams of proteUl matter (18 grams of nitrogen), witli sufficient fat and carbohydrate to yield a total fuel valuo of 3,050 large calo ries. Tho usual proportion of carbohy drate (mostly starchy food) la about GOO grams to GOGO grams of fut. In other words, tho average man needs? according to the above hypothesis, ap proximately 120 grams of proteld, BOO grams ot carbohydrate aufy 00 grams of fat for his dally ration. lu order to obtain these amounts of nutrients he would require per day throe-fourths of a pound of ordinary roast beef, ono pound of boiled potato, one-half pound Of white bread and one-fourth of a pound of butter. Naturally much greater variety q? food might be adept? ed with the same nutritivo values as the above, but theso figures will suf fice to give some Impression of tho quantities of ordinary cooked food stuffs required to yield tho nitrogen and the total fuel value called for by tho above standard dietary. A more elaborate diet, ono in large measure free from meat and having es sentially tho same content of nitrogen and with a total fuel value of approxi mately 3,000 calories, would bo as fc>', ? lows: Fried hominy, six ounces; slr jp, j three ounces; baked potato, e ght j ounces; butter, ono and one-lalf j ounces; baked spaghetti, ten ounce.-*; mashed potato, ten ounces; bollon tur nip, six ounces; bread, two ounces, ap ple sauce, eight ounces; apple tapice pudding, twelve ounces; fried sweet po tato, eight ounces; fried bacon, ono ounce; fruit jam, four ounces; coffee, oue and one-half pints, and tea, three fourths of a pint Such a diet, owing to its vegetable nature and lack of con centration, ls naturally quito volumi nous. A greater concentration of diet is easily obtained by replacement of a portion of tho ^egetablo matter bj meat, and this the ordinary man, with hlB highly dovelopod palate, usually prefers to do because of tho Increased flavor which his acquired taste now calls for. Further, tho resources at the command of the civilized man ren der possible great variety In matters of diet, but whatever tho character of tho dally food or however great the number and variety of the ingredients lt will bo found that the nitrogen con tent and fuel value of tho daily food of mankind will In general correspond in large measure to the dietary standards usually adopted throughout the civilis ed world.-Russell H.
