THE CHAKIIY OF TIME.
As some poor mother, with a mind distraught,
Clasps a dead infant to her tortured
breast,
Close to my heart my wither'd hopes I
pressed,
And of their uselessness believed naught;
For still I fed on fancies vision-wrought.
Or fashion'd them like pinnacles of rest,
To which I clung; and yet, by grief's bequest,
My mind was stung by many an ambushed
thought.
' 'Twas then I courted comfort here below? .
In vain. So heavenwards my pray'rs did
climb?
j And still I found not sympathy. But, lo!
As years roll'd on. a peaeefulmss sublime
Crept o'er ray stormy soul, and I did know
The unobtrusive charity of Time.
?B. M. It., in the &t. James's Gazette.
j SUSAN'S LUCKY SHOT. |
It was a very pretty prospect that
| confronted Miss Susan Galton Brown.
The scattering white homes among the
i trees in the valley, the blue hills be
yond with their fringes of pine trees,
i the clear 3ky that was such a novelty
to the girl from the great manufacturing
town?it was all bright and fresh
and so delightfully clean. Miss Susan
| Galton Brown Icoked back on the
j peaceful prospect for a lingering rao1
ment or two and then pressed ahead
j up the mountain road.
She certainly was an unusual figure
for *hat quiet neighborhood. Attired
in a close-fitting suit of gray with a |
short walking skirt and a wide|
brimmed gray felt hat that concealed
her beautiful hair, she might, at a distance,
save for the skirt, have been
taken for an extremely handsome boy.
Her gait would have carried out the
impression, there was such an unconstrained
swing to it. But her high
boots were not a boy's boots and her
hands were neatly gloved. Miss Su!
'san Gallon Brown carried something
under her arm. It was a light magazine
rifle, the gift of an adoring father.
For she could shoot and fish and swim
| and run, and do it all in a way that
{ met that adoring father's critical approval.
She had minor talents, of
course?an education rounded off in a j
finishing school, a pleasing smatter- i
ing of music, taste for art that was :
only second to her taste for nature, j
But all these were quite dwarfed in
her daddy's opinion by tho'se manlier
attributes that he so assiduously cultivated.
She was his con panicn on
long hunting and fishing trips and an
ideal companion at that.
It is needless to say that quiet Elm- !
wood looked upon this accomplished !
young woman with a very doubtful tx- i
pression. She was a little too ad- j
vanced?that was the term they used <
?JUI J-iHii \> uuu 2) iuwo v* (
maidenly modesty. The motners of ,
Elmwood held her up as an example j
of the baneful coming woman, and the !
girls of Elmwood thought her dread*
fully bold?and secretly envied her.
As far the men?well, there were but
few of them in Elmwood whose opinion
was worth recording, and of these
a mere handful dared to express an
honest opinion in the face of 'be uni- |
versal feminine condemnation. Of
these independent souls it must be ad' j
mitted that Mr. John Cortwright stood j
first and foremost.
If Miss Susan Galton Brown knew
of the unfavorable light in which her
short skirt and her Teddy hat had
placed her?and there is no doubt she
did?the matter failed 10 worry her in j
the least. She had conu down to Elmwood
to stay a mouth wkh her maiden
aunt?her dead mother's only sister?
who lived in the big white mansion
cn Main street, just beyond the Baptist
meeting house. It was this fond
aunt who had invited Jack Cortwright
to call, and although this was a par- j
ticulup youth, with high ideals of worn* j
anhood. he called again, and ;ain, and j
again. What was strange about it. I
too, was that Jack haded from the j
east, and from Puiitan surroundings j
at that. Yet with all this discreet j
bringing up he certainly was fascinat- j
cd with the wild western hoyden.
They all said that Jack Cortwright j
n?oo o rnoiricy x-mino mon rQni? !
ao a t IOUJ^ JI jaicxu. WVOIUU v?y?
talists had sent him?fresh from college?to
the western town to look after
their Interests in certain undevel'
oped coal mining property that lay a
few miles north of Elmwood. And
Jack had taken off his coat, metaphorically.
and gone to work to develop it |
There was plenty of capital behind j
him, and he had built a railway branch :
to the mine, and staried a bank in |
Elmwcod, of which he was temporary !
cashier, and stirred the little town i
into making certain improvements that j
had long been discussed. In short, j
Jack Cortwright was recognized even
by those who didn't approve of hi*
revolutionary tactics to be the liveliest
factor of progress the sleepy little j
hamlet had ever known.
Miss Susan Gaiton Brown .11 poor :
luck that bright October afternoon.
She didn't rouse a solitary rabbit. But,
after all, it was the tramp she was
after rather than the game. Still she
must have a shot at something. So j
she pinned a brilliant !<-af to a tree j
trunk and at 20 paces split it at the j
first trial.
I
The sun was still high above the
hills when she started to return to
her aunt's. As she went down the old
State road a -sudden clattering caused
her to turn her head. Three men
mounted on powerful horses came
trotting down the slope. Susan stepped
aside to let them pass and one of the !
horses, catching sight of her, suddenly
sprang aside and almost unseated ;
his rider. Susan looked up anxiously
and saw to her astonishment that the
man's heavy beard was twisted very
much to one side. But he quickly regained
his seat with an oath. and.
striking the horse, clattered after his
companions. Susan wondered why the
man was disguised, and dimly fancied
that the three rough-looking strangers
were up to some mischief. But she
was thinking of Jack the next moment,
and the strange incident was shelved.
A few moments of brisk walking
brought her to the brow of the hill
where the road turned sharply and ran
at an oblique along the side of the
steep descent. Susan seated herself
on a log and looked down into the vil- j
lage, which lay. as it were, at her
very feet. She traced the one long |
street of the hamlet, which was but a j
continuation of the highway, and followed
its dusty line past her aunt's j
trim home, and the little park with j
its soldiers' monument, and the town ;
hall, and then along to the bank? j
Jack's bank?and there her gaze rest- I
ed. I
Miss Susan's eyes were good ones j
and the air was very clear. She saw j
a horseman sitting in his saddle at !
the bank door. Ht was holding the
bridles of two riderless horses. Even
as she noted this the two riders rushed
from the building and leaped into their I
saddles. There were puffs of white
smoke and sharp detonations. Susan
could see people running in wild confusion.
Then the three riders started j
at a sharp canter up the road. Every \
dozen yards or so one would turn in j
his saddle and fire down the roadway.
Susan knew what this strange scene
meant. It was a daylight bank robbery,
one of a series that had terrori2;ed
all the countryside during the
past summer. The three robbers were
retreating with their plunder. What
I had happened in the bank? Why was
| Jack not pursuing them? She suddenI
ly turned sick and cold.
Then an indescribable impulse
seized her. She let herself over the
edge of the bank and began a mad
scramble down the steep declivity.
She meant to intercept the ruffians.
She slid, she stumbled, once she fell,
but she never let go her hold on her
precious rifle. And then, as the earth
suddenly seemed falling away from
her. she reached the level ground in
I a confused heap. But she was up on
i her feet in a moment. The highway
| was directly before her. The robbers
I were cantering by. The man in the
j rear was the man with the heard, and
i he had a coarse bag flung across the
saddle before him. He was directly
opposite Susan as she plunged down
j to the edge of the roadway. He must
! have taken her for an enemy, for his
! glittering revolver flew up and he fired
in her direction quite at random. Su|
san felt a sudden twitch at her broad
brimmed hat and quickly dropped be?

[ way. The barrel of her rifle rose. The
j robber was rapidly increasing the <lis|
tance between them. Could she shoct
j this man in cold blood? She had him
! covered. A moment more and it might
be too late. Slie thought of Jack and
fired.
The horse of the fleeing man sudj
dr nly leaped to one side and flung his
rider heavily to the earth. As.he went
down he dragged the bag of plunder
with him. The riderless horse galloped
after his companions.
Then Susan Galton Brown Sprang
into the roadway and fired five shot.s
in rapid succession after the two '
horsemen. She did not aim to hit
them, but rather to frighten them <
away. They hesitated a moment and i
then dashed madly ahead; the riderless
horse galloping in the rear.
Susan ran forward to the prostrate
man. He was unconscious. She
stooped over him for a moment and
then drew away the coarse bag. As i
she suspected, ic was half filled with
currency. She shuddered as she <
looked at the livid face of the ruffian
and then at the blood that was slowly i
saturating his coat sleeve. She began
to feel a little faint.
She was aroused by the sound of
wheels and the shouting of a man. A
light phaeton was coming toward her.
In a moment she recognized the driver
as the local livery stable proprietor, i
He leaped out beside her. i
"Nailed him, didn't you?" he shouted
in a paroxysm of excitement. "1 :
was just ready to drive out o' my 1
stable when they pelted by. As I got
into the roadway i saw you blazin' <
hway^. Kill him?"
"No," said Susan, "he is stunned by
the fall from his horse. I only aimed
to break his shoulder."
"You done it all right," cried the
livery man. "By George!' he shrieked, <
"it's jTm Bascom himself!" <
Susan felt her head going around. i
"Mr, Tompkins," 'she said, "will you i
iirivo mo tn the bank as ouick- i
IV1UU1J ui*f v V w
ly as you can?"
"Yes. ma'am, I will." he replied,
with great heartiness. "You've got Ijie
stuff there, have you? Jump in." :
And a moment later they were
speeding toward the bank. They had
not gone 20 yard9 when they met 'die 1
first group of hastily armed men who i
were on the trail of the robbers. I i
"You'll find Jim Bascom lyin' up | ]
there," shouted the liveryman. "She j ;
shot him an' we've got the bank stuff ! |
all here!" And he touched up his |
horse again. And the next group ,
heard the same fetory, and the next,
and the next. And they all turned and i .
stared after blushing Susan Brcwm j ,
And then they were at the bank. .
There was a little crowd about the ! .
doer. But they quickly made way for J
Susan, and the liveryman, and the precious
bag.
And there was Jack sitting up in a j
big chair, and somebody was bathing
his head, and he was blinking queer- ,
ly like a man slowly waking up. But ' j

WAYS OF MEN IN LOVE
A SCIENTIST HAS CATALOGUED THE
ACTS OF CUPID'S VICTIMS.
A Serlou?-Minded (German Professor Has
Evolved a Guide Book of Love Gaines
? Caressing, Fighting, Self-Exhibition
and Coquetry ? Make Love as Sport.
The long ago poetical phrase, "The
sportiveness of love," asumes a fresh
significance since Professor Karl
Gross evolved a guide book of love
games and catalogued them into classes
and sections with erudite observations
upon the heads in general and entertoning
tales by way of specific instances.
Love games, says Professor Gross,
aro chiefly four: Caressing games,
games of self-exhibition, fighting
Siimes, and games of coquetry. Sweet
n ^aris piay caressing games unauac
they like to be near each other; they
play games of self-exhibition because
they wish each other to behold their
merits; they play fighlibg games because
they find it necessary sometimes
to fight t"> win each other, or because
fighting is one. method of displaying
their adorable qualities; they play coquetry
games because they are made
coquettish and for no other reason in
the world.
Despite the fact that they have been
pursuing their games fined time prehistoric,
and although they are supposed
by those outside the enchanted
pale to be laughable alike in their cooing
they have not decided upon a universal
pattern for their games. Not
even the kiss is excepted wheh Professor
Gross propounds this interesting
revelation, honored with supreme
glory by dreamy bards as well as by
intoxicated suitors. All children play
catch and hide and seek, no matter
whether they be the dainty scions of
lordly Fifth avenue houses or sooty littie
beggars from South African hovels,
or heathen Chinese, but when they are
grown and begin to learn the games of
love they each make up games of their
own fancy.
Perhaps the little play toying with
insignificant objects is the nearest expression
of universality in love gomes
r^f caressing. Even those benighted
pecple6 who have not discovered the
ecstasy of kisses enjoy this petty trifling
of which the lovers in the Mill
on the Floss are a type. Kitty was doing
her fancy work and asked Stephen
[or the scissors, which were passed and
repassed between them without the
least reason for doing so, except the
proximity to which it led and the handling
cf one object together. It is the
frick of the boarding school hoyden?
and w ho shall say how many others of
the fair?to let her shoestrings untie
bo that the spruce stripling who baa
UAW a A fM A If kh Trt ftlA
Lapuifttltu lici ucai i iunj jiaic uir vji"
portunity of tying them again. The
d'gnified Oriental wooer who disdains
the intimacy of a kiss does not scorn
the delights of examining the ornaments
worn by his beloved not only
with his eyes but his fingers.
The more naive the period or social
c-lass, thinks Professor Gross, the more
common is this sort of play. At the
spinning fetes of olden-time Europe
couple after couple Sang a -spinning
song while their bands crept in and
about the spinning apparatus.
Plays of se'if-exhibition arise out of
the lover's desire to present himself
in the most advantageous light possible
before his loved one. With this
in view he plays a part. He acts as
though he were braver, stronger, more
skillful, handsomer, of more delicate
leeling and keener intelligence than
be is actually and habitually. ' A comic
paper once observed that a lover
always tries to he as lovable as possible
and hence always makes himself ridiculous.
The lover not only has the aim in
view of pleasirg his sweetheart but he
also enjoys his little exhibitions for
their own sake He appears to be looking
on at himself, listening to his own
fairy tales, and enjoying his own parading.
When this is done to excess
his game is commonly known as flirting.
One of the features of self-exhibition
are the contests of many swains
before their ladies. The old-time tour.
a ? iVA
namenrs, wnose viciors were given mo
privilege cf crowning their chosen
one as the queen of love and beauty,
are one of the many examples. And
man m a contest feels double stimulation
to do his utmost when ladies are
present. They have long learned that
prowess and a martial bearing are admired
by the fair ones. This admiration
is in part a relic of the earlier
form of lover-like exhibitions. The
Indians use their war paint and feathers
primarily to delight the squaws.
In some tribes men do not dare to
marry, for no woman will have them
until they have slain a number of foes.
The conquest of rivals in this way
becomes one means of self-exhibition.
It proves his supremacy. In some
Iribes the youths gather together and
fight for the b?lle, and the conqueror
bears her off as his prie. In the west
Victorian tribes a man is allowed to
carry away another man's wife if he
can defeat the man in combat. Both
Lhe husband and the new suitor are entirely
satisfied and the woman takes
her fate as a matter of course In
N'ew Zealand, when two suitors present
themselves before a single charming
maiden, and both are tqually
strong, courageous, and clever in battle
and in combat, she gives the coveted
"yes" to the man thit can pull
her arm the most vigorously. Each
man takes an arm and they pul! simultaneously.
In the Arran Islands when the people
of a village see some husbandless
maiden whom they think ought to be
married they gather together and confer
upon the subject of a suitable con
sort ior ner. wxifu me juiim ir?
chosen they serve a notice that she is
to be ''bidden'' on the next Sunday
after mass. She prepares cider for a
large party and the village en masse
gamers at her home, where a sling contest
is held. The champion player becomes
her spouse, quite irrespective
:>f the previous choice of the villagers.
Men like to exhibit themselves in
boldness and taking risks or in entering
upon tests of strength and trials
jf skill. In the Alpine villages every
man likes to wear the edelweiss in his
rap because he thus gets a reputation
v.nong the village beauties for his fearlessness.
Richard Coerce Lion voices
the suitor's love of praise from his
mistress iu Sir Walter's Scott's "Ivonlice."
"Joy to the fair, my name unknown,
each deed and all its praise thine own.
Let grateful love quell maiden'shame,
and grant him bliss who brings thee
fame."
Personal and physical charms are
itmong the f>ct exhibits of the self-displaying
lovelorn lad. Everybody
knows of the famous epoch in a youth's
life when his eye has captured a
glimpse of some sylph and he forthwith
applies himself to render his person
pleasing to the gaze. He is neat, as fastidious
as never before about the
beauty of his teeth and nails and hair,
as to the fit of his coat, and the brilliancy
of collars and cuffs. He watches
most impatiently for the first premonitions
of mustachios.
The higher tne culture of a pair of
sweethearts the more prominently do
mental displays mingle with the exhibition
of phjsleal fascinations. The
cultured suitors delight either in simply
showing their power to charming
woman or in making a direct at'ack
on her heart. Many men enjoy this s >
keenly that they play the ganant with
out any serious love intentions and
ensnare every lady with their 1. i!liat.ee
of conversation. The masculine
post-prandial withdrawal to the
smoking room is explained by Professor
Gross-as a desire for relaxation
after the fatigue of mental exert'"on in
displaying their charms to women Juring
the dinner.
The stilted ornate styles of love letters
are another form of self-exhibition
adopted by the suitor who would fain
win his sweetheart by the power of
smoothly written words.
Self-exhibition is retaliated in full
by the woman, but with a difference.
She alternately seeks and flees, and
in parading her wonders never addresses
herself to her adorers. She
turns aside when she sees him appreciative
of them as if she were shy.
While he parades his strength she
shows much of weakness, helplessness,
and her housewifely accomplishments.
She veils her intentions, and while
making far more daring exhibitions
than man ever attempts she carries
them off "With such disguise that she
is never compelled to acknowledge
their purpose.
When displaying her mental graces
the same disguises comes into operation.?Chicago
Tribune.
MERRY' CAME OF SQUASH. .
Promises to Re Most Popular of the
Season'ti Sport*.
Squash, whictli was comparatively
little known a year or so ago, promises
to be one of the most popular
of this summer's sports, and squashcourts
are going up everywhere.
Just why the unpoetical name of
squash should have been given it is
not discoverable. It certainly has no
bearing upon summer squash, the
vegetable, for, being an in-door game,
it can be played as well in winter as
in summer, and no other points of resemblance
can be traced.
Pro-perly speaking, Squash Ball is
the title, and "squash" is only the abbreviation.
To have your squash-court this summer,
if you have any pretensions to
style, is as necessary as to have your
ping-pong table or your automobile.
Last summer the game was so much
of a novelty that the story is told of
a family in a fashionable sea-side resort
who made their way into tJhe el^ct
through their squash-court, it being
the second only of its kind in the
place. This year it is even more essential
to one's social success.
Yet there are many people clamoring
to know what squash is.
Squash belongs to/the lawn-tennis
family, and under different titles and
with ? few minor differences, has been
known Since the time of Henry VIII.
^A ..Mi Ttsia

little * squash literature, lience the'
world-at-large has had no opportunity
of becoming acquainted with it in
story. Even the squash joke has not
yet been sprung. The game of fives,
which is still played extensively, is
of the squash family. In this game,
as it was originally played, the hand
was used, hitting a ball against a wall
on lines laid out for a tennis-court.
Going back into early history, we find
the >royal princesses playing tennis in
this way, using their fair hands, or, in
some cases, gloves. When the bat
came into use it was called Bat Fives.
Then another evolution, and the tennis-racket
came upon the scene. The
walls were enclosed, a floor and ceiling
added, and voila! rackets. Squash
is merely a variation of rackets, and
the courts are the same. The walls
are marked off by painted lines; the
service-line, above which the ball must
strike when served, is six feet from
the floor. Another line, called the telltale,
is two *feet from tlhe floor, and
after a ball has been served, the second
played must return it onto the
front wall above the telltale before it
has bounded twice. The players then
continue to return the ball alternately
until the rally is lost. A ball is
in play until it touches the roof, posts,
cushions, or is driven into the gallery.
It is then out of court. The court is
divided by a line into two equal
spaces. There is a cross-cm through
j the centre. 23 feet from the back wall,
j The game is played with a ball, usualj
ly of India rubber, and a light-weight
tennis-racket, strung with gut. The
j squash-bat weighs between nine and
j ten ounces. Keep'ng out of the way
| is one of the objects of the game. If
the ball hits the striker's adversary
above the knee, or ff it hits the striker's
partner or himself, it counts
against the striker. One of the rules
of the game is that e^ry player
should get out of tlhe way as much as
possible. If he cannot, the marker is
to decide whether it is a let or not.
The marker's decision is considered
final.
Squash may be played either with
doubles or singles, and in a four or a
three walled court.
Any carpenter can build the house,
which is not elaborate in any way.
The height of the front wall is 1G feet.
The total length of the court is 31.6
feet, and the breadth, 16.3 feet.?Collier's

A country correspondent tells us
I that the end of the war was announced
I to him by a servant in the following
i quaint terms: "Oh. sir, the bells has
| been ringing all night, and the war's
at peace." Many country dwellers who
went to bed reasonably early on Sun!
day night were awakened by unexpected
bells. One of the quietest villages
in Surrey was flooded with
chimes at 11 o'clock at night. Indeed,
it may be said that peace, in this instance,
more than war, "startled the
villages with strange alarms."?-Loni

Letter.
CAPTAIN O. BKRTOLETTO.
Captain 0. Bertoletto, of the Italian
Barque "Lincelles," in a recent letter from
the chief office of the Italian Barque Lincellcs,
Pensacola, Fla., writes:
*'1 have suffered tor several years
with chronic catarrh of the stomach.
The doctors prescribed for me without
my receiving the least benefit.
Through one of your pamphlets I began
the use of Perurui, and two bottles
have entirely cured me. I recommend
Peruna to all my friends."
?O. Bertoletto.
In catarrh of the stomach, as.well as catarrh
of any part of the body, Peruna is
the remedy. As has been often said if Peruna
will cure catarrh of one part it will
cure catarrh of any other part of the body.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located,
and the remedy that will cure it anywhere
will cure it everywhere.

This is a case of catarrh of the stomaeh
which had run for twenty-five years, according
to his statement, and Peruna has
at once come to his relief, promptly accom- ,
plishing for him more benefit tnan be had ... it

It stands to reason that a man of wealth
and influence, like a Congressman.of the . '.I

find a cure. ...
If such cures as these do not verify the
claim not only that dyspepsia is due to catarrh
of the stomach, but also that Peruna
will cure catarrh of the stomach, it is impossible
to imagine how any evidence
conld do so. '
If you do not derive prompt and satis- %
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving aV
full statement of your case and he will be,
pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
