IT'S A BAD STORM ]
THAT HELPS NOBODY ]
??-?' ? ii'?' ?"? i>n?i i ?
[Original.]
Tiic train bad boon creeping along l
through (lie darkness for an hour or
more, working its way in the teeth of
a blizzard. There were few people In
the parlor car, but among them were a '
4ST I
man and a woman who aiTrnoled tho
attention of the others. The woman
ant moodily unmindful of what was going
on about hor; the man was alter,
nntoly peering out of the window and
endeavoring to infuse a bit of cheerful
iivo.i Him um muii. liiu iraiii i
moved slower and slower and at last |
stopped.
Ill tlie ear all was still; ahead was a
babel o.f voices?the engineer, conductor
and trainmen consulting as to wliut
should be done. A strain on the holier
had prevented further making of
steam, which not only Interfered with
progress, but prevented heating the
cars. It was decided to send a man to
a station a mile ahead to telegraph for
an eugiue.
Wheu the couple iu the parlor car
learned this the face of the man took
0:1 a greater uneasiness. The steam
having been shut oft", the car rapidly
cooled and, the thermometer being below
zero, tlie prospect of comfort was
at the ebb.
"I think we shall get on again presently,"
said the man reassuringly.
"I wish we would have to go hack."
A frown gathered on his brow. "I
supposed your mind was made tip," he
said. "What lias come over you?"
1 wonder who put Alice to bed'tonight?"
There was silence between them?a
gloomier silence than before. Then the
man said he would go forward and inquire
into the prospect. While he was
gone the porter of the ear said to the
lady:
"Yo' might go into de house wha' yo'
see de light up yoiulnh."
A sudden idea seized the woman.
Dropping a piece of money into the
man's hand, she hade him lend the
way. Khe seemed to wish to escnno
from something besides the cold. Once
out of the enr Ibe porter helped her
through snowdrifts to the house in
question. It was n mere cot, and its
only occupants were a man aud a baby.
The porter left, saying that bo would
come for her l*>fore tbo train started.
^ 8he slipped another coin into his hand
and asked him to toll the gentleman
Who had been with her that sbo would
taLo a rest aud did not wish to bo dlsturbod
till It became necessary. She
charged him not to let the gentleman
with whom she was traveling know
where she was. The porter was to slip
away nnd come to her. ?

man, nfter vainly endeavoring to quiet
It, took It up. .
"Where Is Its mother?" asked the
lady.
"The child has no mother."
"Dead?"
"Worse."
A convulsive shudder passed over
her, as If some one had struck her.
"Even though the man who took her
away was far preferable to ine, I wonder
she could have left this helpless
child?her child?to go with him."
Another shudder passed over the lady.
She looked nt the man holding the babe
with a pair of wild eyes that bespoke
terror, misery, remorse. lie was not
looking at her and went on with his
talk, which wns addressed as much to
himself as to her.
"A woman who can desert her child
Is not a woman. She is a monster. It
Is bad enough lo go off with another
man. but to leave her child to die but
for the father's care, and that father
having to go out to work, is the worst
of crimes. If I were making the laws
I might not hang a woman for murder,
but I should hang her for desertlug her
baby."
The listener turned a ghastly white.
"But, do you know, I'd forgive her
If she'd only come back," he went on,
and his voice trembled. "Yes, I'd forgive
her the whole thing. Not only on
the child's account, but on her own.
Tlic man who took her away got n
story on me which had Just enough
truth in It to make her believe It all,
and she wasn't strong enough to resist
his Influence. Yes, I'd take her back,
but," he added gloomily, "it would
never be the same again. There would
always be the shame of It."
A locomotive whistle sounded, and
presently footsteps onino crunching In
the snow. The door opened, and the
port or nppenred.
"We'll l>e off soon," be said.
"Have you told the gentleman wbero
I am?"
"No, ma'am. lie tried to make me,
but I wouldn't."
"I want you to stay with me."
"What, stay here and let the train
go on?"
"Yes."
"Lor*, missus, I couldn't do dnt; I'd
git discharged."
"I'll get you a better position."
From her purse she took a roll of
bills and linnded It to him, then turnlug
to the man with the baby she said,
"Wo must get out of the way In case
they search."
"There's rooms upstairs," he said,
and the lady weut up. The porter
went to a shed without. A searching
pnrty headed by the lady's companion
cacao along, but, not finding ber, they
wont oway. Then the tralu moved on.
Tho next day tho lady appeared at
her own home and gave as a reason for
her absence that she had gone to the
knbnrbs to visit her mother. The

TIME was when a fellow went
out with n club and bagged a
bride before breakfast. Now
this bride bags him before dinner,
and he goes to his club afterward.
Hut in each case there is no attempt at
order?no system?it Just happens, as it
always has. The victim nncl the result
^ rondo In beavAon'
b u t lho
wedding bills
are paid on
^R9k; earth ? first by
^jRj?|Ba&the bride's fnthcr,
and often
afterward b y
the 8ame. This
depends upon bow much money he has
and how much nerve the bridegroom
has.
The annals of time have failed to
preserve n record of the first wedding.
There can be no doubt, however, that
It was held in a cave and that papa
paid the freight.
The Answer.
A man desperately In love once
sought a philosopher for a cure. "I
have had," said the man, "about all I
can stand of this sort of living. Between
terrific quarrels and midnight
makeups I'm about dead. I want to
withdraw with honor and a whole
skin."
"Your case is a pathetic one," said
iuu iMiiiosopiipr. "My nclvlce to you is
to study the workings of your own
miud. You will find then what you
deem real is only, after all, the phenomena
of being. This creature that
you love Is lu reality only nu illusion,
n subjective projection, and exists only
in terms of empirical consciousness.
After awhile, by reflections of this
sort, you will rise above such folly."
So the man wont away and began to
reflect upon the transcendental aesthetic
and the properties of space and time,
but ho found the relief was only temporary,
for when the girl came and put
her arms around his neck be was as
bndly off as ever, so In despair he went
to a wise man.
"I'm In love," he said, "and don't like
It. I want to be calmer and do things
worth while."
"Study astronomy," said the wise
man. "After you have been at It for
awhile your own insignificance will appall
you. You and your girl will fade
away. Then when you come back to
earth take care to bring only yourself."
So the man looked at the stars.
But there was the girl behind him,
with her soft hands in his hair, and at
last he gave It up. "What are n few
plcayuno planets," he cried, "compared
with her caresses?"
And then he was obliged to acknowledge
that still he was not his own master.
And after the next quarrel he went to
an alchemist.
"Mix me a drug," he said, "that will
cure me of love."
The alchemist smiled.
"My friend," he replied, "to be candid
with you, a great many fine stories
have boon floating around about sundry
old potions for this purpose, but
they are quack remedies. The only
euro I know of is prusslc acid."
The man smiled grimly. "I don't
want to die quite yet," ho said. "I
want to get rid of this lovo feeling.
It's the worst agony I ever experienced.
It blows hot and it blows cold."
"Well," said the alchemist, "go and
ask that clown over yonder. Maybe
he'll tell you."
So the man went to the clown and
told his story.
"Want to know the answer?" the
clown grinned.
"Yes, yes," said the man Impatiently.
"Marry the girl," said the clown.
Flirting.
Flirting is a system of signals designed
to tako place between two persons
in order to conceal from each other
their preferences.
Flirting is not always successful. It
frequently ends in marriage.
Flirting is undoubtedly an art, and
yet there seems to be no hard and fast
rule to govern it. As a game the only
rule It has is that each shall cheat the
other as much as possible. It is a gamble
and yet one in which the probabilities
are that both players will lose.
While extremely social in its nature, it
docs not seem to follow the laws that
PAnftwl I? ? * *
xuv-ic is urguuizttu
labor, but no organised flirting, except
nt seaside resorts.
Flirting Is not restricted to beautiful
women and handsome men, but is free
for oil. A real homely girl, with on
aeuto^nttack of brains, is often more
successful at it thnu a human doll.
It takes two to make a flirtation?the
Qlrtee and the fllrter. Sometimes two
flirtees get together, and then no flirtation
is possible. With two fllrters thcro
is always something doing, but the
greatest fun is between a fllrter and a
flirtee when the former is a woman.
Flirtations are common only to inhabited
countries. They usually tako
place anywhere from 12 o'clock ah
