ONLY A NIGHTMARE
Uy C. T. OVERMAN.
Dr. Crowder'a professional succ ?Mi
was complAte Hiw welection to deliver
the addree* at lh?
mooting of the In
t?rnM(on?l
cUtlon, of which
he had been noti
fied hut yester
day. voyched for
that, ovpn had not

One cloud only
hunt? over Dr.
Crowder'a life. It
j wan u woman of course. Whet) a
i mere boy, not yet formed or ??ducat
| ed, ho hud married pretty Ethel
W ood, a milliner's apprentice. She
wan |>r??t ty of course, very, very pret
ty- and. she wuk good, and tender,
and true. Hut. who was ultimately im
possible for a man with such a brain
an Dr. ('rowder possessed.
Through all the toilsome years he
had been conscientious in his monthly
remittances, even when It had re
duced him to the most uncomfortable
straltH. Yes, Ethel and the little boy |
had been taken caire of physically ? 1
that much was taken off his con- 1
science. Rut many times he ques
tioned within himself whether that
covered ills obligations.
"But, great heavens, she could not
spell," he said to himself over and
over again "She scarcely could read
-?never read anything worth while.
She had no Ideals, ambitions, no* men- 1
tal Initiative."
Ah! but the boy ? he got on Dr.
Crowder's mind many sleepless nights, j
What right had he to project a human
life into the world and leave it to i
work out the devious course of exist,- '
ence without the guidance and aid of
j a father's care?
Tonight the memory of his girl wife
j and the few happy months he had
spent with- her ? before he heard tho
call to climb the heights? was hot up
t on him, and he paused in the midst c?
; his experiments and sat with his head>>
i in his hands for a long time.
Of one thing he reflected with satis*
faction ? as he frequently had done be-. :
fore- ? he had covered his tracks well.'
No acquaintance of his youth could '
I possibly identify the great Dr. Crow-1
der of New York as the callow youth;
I of Pottstown 20 years ago known afl
Tom Hillings.
He seized a glass of water standing
j on the table In front of him and
gulped it down atid turned to his
work The water tasted rather re-.
' culiar, and he paused a moment t.o !
, look ut the glass Containing fluid as .
' colorless and as tasteless as water? .
but deadly poison. This was the basis
of the experiment he was making. !
"Great Ood!" the thought flashed
through his mind.' "Could I possibly
have. made a mistake?"
The cold sweat stood on his tern-;
pies. Tf he had drunk the poison ho
would be a dead man within a half
hour ? and there was no known antl- ;
j dote. Panic seized his mind and ho
trembled like a le&f,
"If I am to die," ho said, "1 must
I prepare for it." The peculiar feeling
j In his head left no doubt in his mind
that he had taken the poison. j
Then his thought turned quickly to
1 the wife of his youth and his "boy
whom he had never seen., He turned
j quickly tc his desk and wrote rapidly f
I* for some ?minutes. He wrote the be- ;
._?r.?t and Jhe .history _oI_hlajlfo^-H^ -ex- -i
plained the change in his name and I
his relation to Tom Hillings and Ethel
Wood and ? the boy. And then he
wrote a will leaving all he had to his
?wife and boy. Staggering to the
door he summoned the Janitor and
ordered him In his old Imperious way,
to And a friend? at once/ Which, be-'
lng done, the two signed their names ;
as witnesses and the document was [
hurriedly placed In an envelope and
given to the Janitor to mail to Ethel ?
which the Janitor did at once.
Some hours later the Janitor found
Dr. Crowder1 stiff and stark on the.
floor of his laboratory and the great
est physicians in all the great city;
were summoned. ^ _ ? . ?
Consciousness returning, Dr. Crow
der looked for a moment Into the face '
of the great doctor who stood over
his bed ? a colleague and a friend ?
and said: "No use. Ned; it's the new
poison." ? ?. ' .
The ii^an bending gravely over him
smiled Indulgently. 0 !
"It's only a nightmare, Fred," het
Bald. "I feared It myself when I saw
the stuff ' in your laboratory ; but 1
have tried every test and It la not bo. j
You are overworked; better go some- j
where and take a rest.
"Yes. Fred. I think I will take a
rest. Find when the next train goee^
to Pottstown."

Regular Health Exercises
Men and women of sedentary habH
us a rule do not take sufficient exer
cise, especially in tho .open, nor do
they practicc deep breathing, both of
which have u direct effect upon tho
blood and its course through the body.
Morning exercises should be taken reg
ularly, including deep breathing. They
should ulso be repeated at noon hour
and on going home and again on retir
ing.
The Idealist.
The idealist sees the things of earth
us they are, but also as tbey ought to
be. lie dreams, and longs to see his
dreams realized. In our early years
we are all Idealists. Youth is not
daunted by even the most impossible
task. It is ready to pay the price.
We smile ut the enthusiasm of youth,
but the trugedy of uge is possible only
when that entttuslafmi in gone. ?

Superstition Concerning Friday.
There are Home curious contradic
tions In the superstitions about the
ill luck of Friday. As all the world
knows, it is considered bad luck to
begin any enterprise, to marry or
start on a journey 011 Friday. On the
other hand, Friday is the best day of
the week to pare one's nails. One
who laughs on Friday will weep on
Sunday.
Good Idea at Any Time.
The following from an English pa
per will apply to many other plncbs
besides the sick room: "Whatever
happens, do not keep 011 saying, 'Now,
1 am sure 1 am tiring you. I had bet
ter go.' Only a sick bear would have
the courage to take this literally. Get
up, say good-by, and go."
True Scotch "Cannlness."
There is in circulation yet another
genial story about tho canny Scot. A
Caledonian chieftain won a million
pins in a penny raffle at a bazaar.
Three days later he called, very wan
and weary of aspect. "See here," he
said to the bazaar secretary, "I've
counted them. They're three short!"
The Immortals.
?Mrs. Partingtons and Mrs. Mala
props are still with us in the flesh.
Recently a woman at tho opera in
Chicago complained that her seat was
too far back. She said she could hear
the music all right, but the perform
ers on the stage "looked like migno
nettes. *'
Greatness of Man.
The greatness of man does not show
itself in its ability to build cathedrals,
to sculpture, to paint, to write, to in
vent, to discover, to control men, to
found nations, etc., but in its ability to
commune with God and do his bidding.

Better Than Poultice.
If at any time you have a gathered
finger or poisoned hand, , take a cab
bage leaf, roll it out with a bottle until
the juice comes, and tie it on the af
fected part. Thle will draw and
cleanse it far better than a poultice.
For Beginner* In Crime.
A regular text book for thieves and
burglars has been discovered by the
New York police. It contained instruc
tions how to file bare, how to pick a
lock, how to avoid leaving flnger-printa
and many other tricks of the trade.
Fever Drirfk.
Pour cold water on wheat bran, lei
boil one hour, strain and addjugarind
lemon Juice. Pour boiling water on
flaxseed, let atand till it la ropy, pour
into hot lemonade and drink.
Quite 8imple.
"A savings bank," said the child,
in answer to the teacher, "is a place
where you can deposit money today
and draw it out tomorrow by giving
a week's notice."
For a Useful Life.
Have a fixed purpose in life; ona
that means something, and something
that la worthy . of you, and then make
your whole life hinge about it.
