A Love Story With a Lesson on
the Value of Hygienic Living.
By LOUISE J. STARKWEATHER.
[Copyright. 1909. by American Press Asso
ciation.]
Ft was early morning in northern
Maine, and the Dig porch of the sum
mer hotel was dotted here and there
with groups of people who were plan
ning for the day's pleasure. The air
was almost crisp in its freshness, and
the tall man in clerical garb who wus
walking slowly down the length of the
porch shuddered a little lu the chilly
atmosphere.
As he approached a particularly jolly
party one of the womeu started toward
him and said eagerly:
"Well, what have you decided, Dr.
Meredith?" *
"That you will have a beautiful day
for your picnic." he replied, smiling a
little and glancing toward the lake and
the mountains about which the mists
still lingered.
"Then It is not to be our picnic?"
There was au answering smile upon
her lips, but her eyes looked troubled.
"I thought perhaps you would go. nft
er all. You know you half promised"T
"I am very sorry, Miss Curtis, but I
have some work which 1 must do tp
day." '
"Rut, Dr. Meredith." Miss Curtis an
swered jestingly, though there was an j
undercurrent of earnestness in her
voice. "I'm afraid yon have forgotten
about that boy Jack who was always
at work."
"Hut I'm no longer a buy. and only
my ,most intimate friends call me
Jack," he retorted with a twinkle in Ins
eye. Then be added seriously: "There
is another proverb, my dear Miss Cur
tis, that I have taken for my life mot
to. In accordance with its precept I
have determined not to rust out like?
well?like most of the people up here."
The last words were spoken with some
embarrassment, but Miss Curtis re
plied with a frank smile:
"I'm going to take it for granted that
you except present company. Rut
about your determination to wear out
rather than to rust out?why this al
ternative? You surely would, not use
a delicate piece of porcelain iu such a
-way that It must break."
"Of course not. But I do not con
sider the figure you are using a good
one."
"And I consider if just as good as
your old rusty one." was the merry
rejolnd-T
As she imished speaking Miss Curtis
looked at Dr Meredith with a glance
so free from coquetry that he realized
at once how different she was from
the woman who ordinarily invites an
must ttr stvxd AStr>::?
unmarried clergyman t<> a pi nie. So
with the perversity <>f Ids sex he found
himself gazing at her with an especial
interest. She was certainly very at
tractive. Her thick brown hair lay
softly about a face whose warm color
and animated expression told of a vi
tality that breathed from every part
?f her strong young body. But. for all
her vigor, she was purely feminine,
from the lace turnover about her pret
ty neck to the big bows that fastened
her sturdy shoes. The charm of her
personality seemed to cast a spell
about him. for. hardly knowing that
he did so. Dr. Meredith exclaimed:
"I should really like to go. but my
book must be finished. Every day is
precious."
Then, as If iu a dream, he heard
Miss Curtis' voice:
"Never mind j our hook. Try a whole
day out of diK>rs for your body's sake."
and also, as In a dream, he heard him- !
self reply:
"I will. When do you start?"
"In half an hour. You will have just
nl>out time to put on some picnic
oiothes "
"But 1 always wc.tr these"? he be- i
gaa,
"Well. I wouldn't They're too good I
iu every <=<>t!S? r>r the word." the wo- j
niHii Inuirhed back as she hurried from ;
fie porch, leaving the reverend gentle- ,
man in a decidedly disturbed state of
mind. lie had done a very foolish
thing. He had intended to spend the
day on his new book. "Highet Think- '
!ng the Basis of Nobler Living." and j
here he was. going off on a picnic |
with one of the gayest sets in the ho- ?
tel. His slender body told of insuf
ficient exercise, his pale skin clearly
OFFERING TITLES FOR CASH.
Marquise de la Rochebriant Says
They Are All the Reil Tiling.
To any rich American woman who
i? ambitious to scintillate in the so
ciety of the European nobility a wo
man styling herself as the Marquise
de La Rochebriant, offers a display
of twenty-nine choice titles from
which a selection may be made, says
a message from New York.
"Marquise de La Rochebriant" is
Indicated his Impoverished blood, while
bis brilliant eye suggested an intellect
that was dominating too powerfully a
frail physique
That he was "ready for almost any
disease" his good old physician had
told him, and his congregation, after
he had fainted duriug service one even
ing, had packed him off. much against
his will, for a summer in the moun
taius.
So It was with a mingled feeling of
aunoyance and anticipation that he
left the hotel porch and hurried to his
room. Once there, he pulled out a bi
cycle suit that had done a little service
a few years ago and. putting it on.
surveyed himself with a critical eye.
"Sort of spindle shanks I am, sure
enough." h? grinned to himself as he
thought of the sturdy figures, of the
other men who were to make up the
party. "I suppose it would he a good
thing for me to get a little more flesh
on my bones."
"We thought we'd take the steam
launch to the Willows, as we feared
the hard tramp would bo a little too
much for you. parson." said one of the
meu. patting his shoulder genially, as
he joiued the group
"I'm sorry to have you change your
plans for me." Dr. Meredith replied, a
little stiffly, for he felt at a disadvan
tage with these vigorous men.
"Oh. we shall enjoy the sail," Miss
Curtis Interrupted, noticing his annoy
ance. "And you must all drink In a
great deal of this sweet, wholesome
air. When we get a little way from
land I want to try some uew deep
breathing exercises that I read about
the other day."
"You see. doctor." exclaimed another
man. "you're in the hands of a re
former, an advocate of nil sorts of
newfangled notions. If you want to
save yourself from this reform move
ment. Dr. Meredith, you'd better get
right out now and swim ashore."
"Oh. I think I'll venture to go on.
especially as I can't swim." replied
Dr. Meredith genially.
"Can't swim!" one of the other men
exclaimed. "We'll have to give you a
lesson lids afternoon, for vigorous ex
ercise "f all sorts Is another plank In
our platform."
"No; you can't take Dr. Meredith in
swimming this afternoon." said Miss
Curtis decidedly. "The water is too
cold for him yet. Wait till he has
breathed this invigorating air a little
longer."
"Oh. I'm as well as"? began Dr.
Meredith, but as he looked at the men
and women near him, who were brim
ming over with vitality, he hesitated.
He had intended to say, "1 am as well
as the rest of you:" but. being a truth
ful man. he could not. He might say.
"As I need to be." but that was not
true either. How much better he
could do his work if he had the mus
cles of these men. their breadth of
chest and their vigor! Hut before he
could think of a way to end his sen
tence some one exclaimed:
"Oh. no; you're not as well as you
can be. We'll make another man of
you iu another month."
"I cannot stay another month. My
congregation needs me," he replied
quietly.
"Dut your vacation was to last two
months, was it not':" Miss Curtis
asked. "Most city pastors have that."
"Yes." the man admitted. "My peo
ple did offer me two months, but." de
cidedly. "I do not intend to take so
long."
"But. really. Dr. Meredith." Miss Cur
tis said, "you must uot go back for an
other month."
"Oh, I shall be as well as needs be
In a few days." the man replied stub
boruly, aud at this moment the boat
bumped against the dock, and they
were at their destination
It had been years since John Mere
dith had Indulged in a real picnic. At
first he hardly knew how to behave,
but soon he began to feel the spell of
"the open" and to come more Into sym
pathy with his companions. That they
were right In thinking that a good
body was a good thing he was obliged
to acknowledge to himself, and before
the day was over he was almost per
suaded that some of the tenets of his
philosophy were incorrect. He had
al>out come to this conclusion when,
late in the afternoon, they decided to
take a walk to a nearby farmhouse.
Ou the way Dr. Meredith lagged be
hind, thinking many thoughts. He
was comparing himself, frail and
tired, with these vigorous people and
was considering how much more he
could do In the cause he loved if he
were well and strong. But would he
not be apt to forget the spiritual if he
spent so much thought and time upon
the physical? Would he not become,
as he feared these people were, too
much absorbed in the joys of living?
Miss Curtis Ik self, charming with
her wonderful vitality, even lovable
!n her sweet personality, was, be told
Himself sharply, too insistent on phys
ical well being.
He was trying to persuade himself
of the truth of this last statement
when suddenly down the road came a
whir! of dust, the noise of escaping
Steam, a dozen piercing shrieks, and in
a second the ruin of a grent touring
car. with its mangled occupants, lay
before them.
Instantly Dr. Meredith and his com
panions rushed forward, but at the
sight of the flowing blood the clergy
man found himself growing faint.
H.uf dazed, he leaned against a tree
aud watched the others stanching the
streams of blood, binding up broken
arm* and Improvising litters. Were
these the men whom he had so read
ily condemned as Idlers in the vine
yard? Wits this the woman whom he
had I bought a "mere butterfly?*' Must
he stand aside while these people did
their deeds of kindness?
He tried to pull himself together and
move toward them, but his eyes closed
suddenly, and he fell the hard ground
beneath him.
It was more than a month later that
in New York city and has caused to
be inserted in the newspaper an ad
vertisement that by a sufficient cash
payment, she will dispose of anyone
or more of her titles.
Explaining that a brother had
wrecked her fortune she said she
came to America to dispose of at
least one title in an effort to recoup
the family fortunes. She particular
ly recommends her title as Countess
d'Autier as a desirable one for any
American woman who is willing to
pay $1,000,000. She says she has
been offered $500,000 for it, but
John Meredith lay comfortably en
sconced In u hammock on the farm
bouse porch. His eyes were lifted to
ward the sky, -where a flock of birds
was swinging slowly toward the
south. In a few days he. too. would be
following their lead. It had been a
strange month to him ever siuce ne
wakened to find himself in a big sunny
room of the farmhouse, with Margaret
Curtis in a nurse's dress at his bedside
One look into her eyes had told him
the truth?that she was one of the
world's busiest workers aud uot the
careless pleasure seeker thai he had
imagined.
He bad learned many lessons from
her durlug those weeks of enforced
idleness, for even after the - rbl fe
ver left him tbe doctors ha V .lively
forbidden his return to tin- city lor a
month. Among those lessous an im
portant one was the care of the pbys

Ical man, so that there might be
strength and power when needed.
That he had learned his lesson thor
oughly could be seen at the tirst
glimpse of him us be lay in the ham
mock. The wann red blood that was
flowing through his veins was risible
even beneath the tan of bis cheeks, bis
hand was no longer while and bony,
and his broadened shoulders and full
chest showed that deep breathing and
vigorous exercise had of late beeu his
daily portion. Rut now, strong and
full of vitality as he felt, lie was anx
ious to be at home again. He started
from the hammock and began pacing
up and down. Suddenly there came
the swish of a woman's skirts around
tbe corner of the house, and .Margaret
Curtis appeared, holding a mysterious
package in her hands. With a hi ugh
she threw herself into a chair aud ex
claimed:
"Well, those hotel people have at last
found your precious manuscript. Some
body put it into one of the big sales,
and they have just remembered."
"Let me see the stuff." said Dr. Mere
dith as be lore off the wrapping.
There it was?his "Higher Thinking
the Basis of Nobler Living." Be
glanced at a page or two and then
said with a good naturcd laugh, "it
really isn't as bad as I bad fancied.
Perhaps I shall finish it some day, but
not now. I am planning to write some
thing quite different this winter. It
will be a sort of preface to this aud
will be entitled 'Hygienic Living the
Basis of Higher Thinking.'"
He stopped for a moment. Then
pulling a paper from his pocket he held
it toward her and said earnestly:
?'I want you to help nie with the
book and"?slowly. "I have been hop
ing that you would let me dedicate it
something after this fashion."
Half hesitating the woman look the
paper that he offered her and. as she 1
read the words he had written, the
vivid coloring of her cheeks swept
furiously over her face and neck.
Tor an instant there was silence be
tween them aud then the man ex
claimed.
"Sou are not surprised, Margaret?
You must have realized that, during
these last few weeks, I have been
learning not only how to live but bow
to love."
As he spoke, he leaned toward her.
but the girl sprang to her feet and
stood looking at him with a little
shadow of doubt in her eyes.
"But?you have known me so short a
time?are you sure?"
"Am sure?" Meredith laughed joy
fully. "Am 1 sure that the sun is iu
heaven? Am I sure that the grass is
green and that the skies are blue? As
to the question of time?can you who
know what the weeks have done for
me physically doubt that they could
develop in my heart a strong, endur
ing love? What say you. Margaret?"
I He was standing close beside her
now and was trying to look into her
eyes.
''What are you g<dng to say to me?"
He repeated ^his question with the
insistence of a si rung, vigorous man. a
man who would not be denied bis an
swer.
As she felt his eyes upon her tbe
waves of color again flooded her face.
Again she hesitated and. turning
away, said, with a Utile tremble in her
voice:
"I?I mtisl eel hack to the hotel. 1
have sonic packing t" do."
I "May I not come with you?"
I The man's voice was deep with eino
' tion.
"Yes?you may conic."
j The words were low. but Dr. Mere
dith heard them, and with a quiet
stride he was at MargnrePs side, and
together thev passed through the gate
and out into the highway.
could not think of letting it go at
that price.
"I wanted to raise some money for
my husband's sake," explained the
"Marquise de La Rochebriant," and
I can see nothing dishonorable in
trying to sell one of my titles. I
J have twenty-nine, aud I want cash
! for some of them."

FANS AND BACTERIA.
Effects of Ventilators Are Harmful
Rather Than Beneficial.
In Brussels an investigation has been
made of the effect of ventilating fans
in restaurants and other public places,
says the Scientific American. Some of
the ventilators simply agitated the air,
while others were conuected with
openings In the wall. The experiments
were made by determining the number
of bacteria in a cubic meter of air be
fore the ventilator had beeu started
and after it had been running an hour
or two hours. The results may be sum
marized as follows:
In a number of cafes and restau
rants the number of bacteria in a
cubic meter of air in the morning be
fore the ventilators were !>#.rted
ranged from 10,000 to 22.000. After an
hour's running the number ranged
from 17,000 to 4S.0O0. After two hours'
running the number ranged from 27.
500 to 85.080. Another experiment was
made in a ho oratory where remedies
for tuberculosis were prepared. Here
the number of bacteria rose from 8.500
before the ventilator was started to
45,000 afler one hour's running aud to
75.000 after two hours' rui?-\L t.
Another experiment wa H ide in n
private parlor. The number of bac
teria per cubic meter. (!50 before the
starting of the ventilator, rose to 2.5(H)
in one hour and to 4.000 in two hours.
The ventilator was then stopped. Two
hours later the number of bacteria
per cubic meter had fallen to 700.
These figures are so eloquent that no
further discussion is needed to show
that the ventilators used in all these
cases did far more barm than good by
creating a lively current of air, which
stirred up and carried witli it. dust
containing bacteria.
PURIFYING WATER.
Electrical Ozonizcr Eliminates Delete
rious Matter.
The electrical process of purifying
water seems to lit; (he most efficacious,
and an apparatus suitable for use in
the household by which tbe water
used about tbe establishment may be
thus cleansed has been recently de
vised. It makes use of alternating cur
rent (usually of 11<i volts) taken from
the ordinary electric light circuit and
transformed and stepped up to about
8,000 volts alternating current.
This high voltage produces in the
ozonizcr (a box containing alternate
plates of aluminium and micanltc) a
silent electric discbarge, converting the
ordinary atmospheric air drawn
through the ozonizcr into ozone. The
water flows under ils own pressure
into the apparatus and as it moves
along is caused to undergo a treat
ment by commingling with the ozone
generated, when the bacteria in the
water are thoroughly removed.
The explanation of this action is:
Chemical analysis of the bodies of
bacteria shows that they are made up
of about S4 per cent of water and 1C of
solids. Of these solids more than half
is made up of carbon. Tbe strong af
finity of oxygen for carbon is well
known. Ozone, being a concentrated
form of oxygen, has an even greater
affinity for carbon, and the moment a
bacillus conies in contact with a bub
ble of ozonized air the carbon of its
body combines with oxygen and the
bacillus is consumed as completely as
if it had touched flame.
To Clear Obstructed Pipe.
Removing an obstruction from a
wash bowl drainpipe is an easy mat
ter, says Popular Mechanics, if the
following directions are followed:
Fill (he bowl half full of water and
press (he palm of the left hand over the
opening, as shown in the accompanying

cut. Form an inverted cup in the hol
low of the hand and give two or three
quick pushes on the knuckles with the
right hand. This will move the ob
struction back and forth, which re
leases the particles from the pipe to be
washed away with tbe how of water.
Efficiency of Files.
An astonishing variation In the effi
ciency of flics has been shown by a
new testing machine. Five tiles were
worn out in almost exactly the same
number of strokes?about 110.000?but
the amounts worn away were respec
tively 4.4. 11.5. IS. 2:1.5 and SSM cubic
inches. The variations are more mark
ed on cast Iron than on steel. Various
I factors determine the cutting efficien
cy, but with differences so great the
use of a poor file may change a profit
able piece of machine work into a los
ing one. There is evidently room fur
progress in the scientific making of
the old and familiar tile as well as in
their grading.
