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

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*

Irvine's First Bacccsa.
In 1874 Henry Irving achieved an Im
mense success by his performance of
"Hamlet" at the London Lyceum thea
ter. 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."

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,

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

DIETARY CTAN DARDS.
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. ('bittenden in
Century.
