A WOMAN’S SONG.

The world is adream and pale With-tlio
moon;
Two petrels on equal wing take flight:
And you breathe a word through tho
fragrant night,
The lisp o* the wind and tho Bea-wind's
tune;
'And the stars and love arc alight, j-jh
II. #!
Bridal Song. '
The birds are nested so safe and warn;
The beaches are drowned in a flood of
white
That silvers the crags of yon spray*
tossed height;
In tho shadows you fold me in your arm;
And the stars aud love aro alight.
III.
Cradle Song.
The sea and the night and the world aro
nt rest;
The birdlings aro hidden from mother-
sight
By soft, warm wings; with my heart
all’s right;
For my babe, my babe is asleep on my
breast;
And the stars and love are alight.

«. sat adding up necounts nt the
J library table of Ids luxurious
flat In Maddox Square. The
handle of the door turned und John
Frovlllo entered, unannounced.
The two men were In sharp contrast
—Hnrrluglinm, cool, phlegmatic, cyn
leal, \vlth tho blue eyes, fair linlr and
beifrd of the Snxon; Frovllle, dark Ith
petuous, full-blooded, generous, quix

cured by the cement of antithesis.
“How long Is It? Eighteen mouths?"
“Two years to tho day.”
“So long!”
"It seoius to mo nn eternity, but
the calendar Is rigid. It neither mens
urcs sentiment nor registers feelings. 1
"I never quite knew why you went
awny.”
“I expoct you will the loss under

"Then I shall not try. If tho cause
Is obscure, the result is satisfactory,
which cannot ho said of the other
Inexplicable spring of your move

Had Hnrrlnghnm asked for a solu

That Is why truth . Is rarely disclosed
In the witness hex, evidence being n
playful game of question nnd evasion
“I heard three words—accidentally,
“And you went awny for two years.
Thnt seems to lack symmetry. It
ought to have been n year a word, or
nothing.”
Hnrrlnghnm wns quizzing, hut Ills
friend wns not listening. Frovllle wns
talking because he couldn’t help him
self. He had been silent too long to
trouble himself ns to the attitude of
his listener.
“You know how I cared for Dl Le-
strange?”
“Most people did. You made no so
oret of it.”
"She had nlwnys seemed especially
kind—to care for mo. I had never
said anything nor, of course, she to
me. But there Is a light In n worn
on’s eye—sometimes! 1
“I know; a dangerous light, like n
wlll-of-th-wlsp.”
"So it wns In my case. I found It

Just come up—I henrd Dl say;
“ ‘You need not think that I enro

“That wns more than three words,"
Interjected Hnrrlnghnm
“I never slept that night. Next dny
I left England.”
“For the Arctic regions, to cool your
heated blood
Frevlllo did not look exactly ns It
the remedy had been efficacious.
A runawrr horse, attached to n
smart brougham, In Regent street;
people scattering In all directions,
women fainting and shrieking, men
chivalrously retreating Into doorways.
A lithe figure steps off thp,curb and
seizes the frightened brut..- vS’ the bri
dle. They sway to and fro, while the
brougham grates on its axis nnd
threatens every moment to topple over.
Two terrified women, blanched with
terror, look out breathlessly at the
unequnl struggle being waged on their
behalf.
The mnn slips. He will fall. No,
he won’t! He Is firm on his legs
again. He holds on like grim death
and the horse is forced back. The
modern dress does not lend Itself to
heroics; hut there Is a certain heroism,
nevertheless, In the tense figure. A
policeman runs up; then another. The
horse yields to superior numbers.
FrevUle lets go the bridle as soon
ns his hand Is no longer required. His
face is flushed nnd an angry welt
across his right wrist .is the outward
sign of a strained muscle.
A girl jumps from the brougham al
most Into Ills arms. It Is Dl Lo-
strange—or It wns two years ago.
“We can never thank you enough,
Mr. Frevlllo, and I—you have saved
our lives. I must go back to her. She
Is feeling faint. Won’t you come nnd
sec us to-night at nine o’clock? Then
we can hear of your return and thank
you."
FrevUle had hardly taken In what
Miss Lcstrangc was saying. The ex
citement of the struggle, the surprise
of the meeting, so sudden and unex
pected, the old glamour reawakened—
Btronger than ever.
“Where?” Frevlllo managed to stam

"Still In Curzon street—you?"
"Why whore clso?”
“I thought you—were—"
"Well?"
"Mnrrlcd.”

“You say It ns If you mo’nnt 'buried'
—to whom, pray?”
To Alee Travers."
Alec Travers! Tho last man! Why,
I never thought of him In my life. No-,v
I must go. But wo shall expect you

Mrs. Lostrnngo wns too much upset
by the adventure of the afternoon to
nppenr nt dinner or to receive their
visitor nfterwnrd, much ns slio wished
to do so. To Dlnnn Bbo Intrusted the
giving of her message of gratitude.
Dlnnn, In a simple evening gown of
white, wns sitting In tho little boudoir
off tho conservatory when FrevUle was
announced.

liorself another dny; I cannot tlinhk
you enough. Wo owo our lives to
you. I shudder when I think of thnt

Then the girl broke off. "But tell
me why you thought I svns mnrrlcd;
nnd to Aloe Travers of all people!”
Frevlllo looked confused. He had
only just dropped Diana’s hand.
“I hnvc been nwny two years.”
“I know that.”
“I went awny after tho Lclglinu bnll
—do you remember It?”
Dl did not answer. She could not
say enough without saying too much.
FrevUle went; on:
“I henrd you say something tlmt
night—I did not menu to—until you
spoke I did not know you were there.
You wore lu a recess In tho landing
nt the top of tho stairs, behind some
yellow drapery; I can see It all now
Just ns vividly ns I could thou.”
"Well?”
“You said, ‘You need not think I
care about Frovllle.’ I thought, of
course Travers hnd been pressing you
nbout me.”
Dlnnn looked puzzled. After n
while Bhe said:
“So thnt wns why you went nwny.”
“Thnt wns why I wont away,” said
Frevlllo, simply.
Dlnnn walked noross the room to nn

Dlnnn handed the card to FrevUle
without a word, just Indicating the

"Music Is a closed hook to you,” she
said, quietly, "but In those days wo
music lovers wore divided Into two

Neither I nor Alec Travers ‘cared’ for

The want of rest nnd food tells on n
horse far more than on n mnn, for In
the case of the latter there nre stimu
lating Influences of patriotism, tho
glory of victory, and other feelings
which are non-existent In the nature
of a horse. Quite half the horses In
England sent to tho Crimea never re
turned, most of them having died from
herd work nnd starvation. Indeed
only nbout 500 were killed In action.
Actual lighting does not claim so
many horses ns starvation and over
work. Defective shoeing, sore backs,
want of food and rest, nnd other simi
lar causes go fnr toward rendering
hol'sea useless for practical warfare.
One more nnd Important cause needs
careful attention, nnd It Is the danger
of Injury, horses run • when being,
shipped across the sea. They nre In
constant motion, they continually fall

Tho Canal Dover (Ohio) correspond
ent of tllo Chicago Intcr-Oconn writes
ns follows: A most singular power of
telepathy, or mlud-roadlng, between
twlnB hns been demonstrated near tbo
Isolated vlllnge of Trnllvlllc. John aud
Robert Evans arc tho twins who lmvo
this pecullnr gift. Tlio hoys nre nbout
eighteen yenrs old, nnd nre sons of J.
E, Evans, n well-to-do farmer. Both
have light linlr nud blue cyoB, and tlioy
jire so much qllso thnt the father hns
never been quite sure which Is Jolm
aud widen Is Robert.
The twins nro like In temperament,
and have nlwnys shown tho closest
sympathy with cech other, It Is only
recently, however, tlint they have dis
covered tlielr telepathic power. Tho
first exhibition of It took plnee nbout
four months ago. John hnd been sent
Into tho woods to hew some trees,
while Robert helped Ills father build
fences on another part of tho farm
more thnn a mile distant. Just before
dinner Robert suddenly dropped n
piece of timber which he was helping
Ids father to carry, anil cried but, ns
If lie were hurt. Turning nbout In
alarm, tho father saw the hoy stnndlng
with his eyes closed,
“John Is hurt! 1 can hear him
scream nnd I can sec him," Robert
said. “.The nxe glnuced from tho tree
nnd the sharp edge struck him on tho
foot. Ho Is Bitting on tho ground nnd
Is blooding dreadfully. Ho lias begun
to tear up Ills shirt anil Is trying to
hind up tllo wound. IIo Is uenr tho
old spring, back of flic pencil orclinrd.”
Suddenly the boy opened his eyes,
looked nt Ills father for nu Instant,
nnd then started on n run toward tho
point whore Ills brother hml gono to
work in tho morning. Mr. EvnnB
looked after lihn helplessly nnd then
followed, somewhat dnzed. When ho
arrived at the spring ho found the
conditions precisely ns Robert lmd
described them. John hnd cut Ids foot
severely by a glance blow of tho nxo
nnd had torn off Ills shirt sleeve, with
which to blnu up tho wound nnd check
the flow of blood, John himself testi
fied thnt ho hnd cried out In pnln
when the axe struck lihn, and seemed
not nt all surprised thnt Ills brother
Robert knew nt once of his plight, al
though the sound of Ills voice could
never have been carried linlf the dis
tance they were separated.
These facts werp told to tho hoys’
motjior, nud were repeated to tho
neighbors. At first people did not
credit tho story fully, hut since then
they have had nmple evidence of tho
siugtilnr phenomenon. Not long after
ward Robert wns working alone be
hind the plow In a field more than a
mile from tho house, where ho hnd
left his twin brother that morning.
While steering tho plow through a
rough nnd rocky piece of ground tho
plow-share wns broken. There seemed
nothing to do hut unhitch the horses
nnd go home, although the hour wns
only' mid-afternoon. Then Robert sud
denly thought about tho time John
cut lilB foot with the ax, nnd he de
termined to make Ids wants known to
his twin. He accordingly closed his
eyes nnd tried, ho said, to get Ills
brother’s attention, although John wns
more than n mile distant. When he
felt thnt John was listening to him
he told Ills brother to go to the barn,
where there was ft now plow point In
tho buggy shod hanging against tho
wall. He also told Jolm to bring n
monkey-wrench which was-In the tool
chest. Robert then sat down on the
plow nnd waited. It wns not more
than fifteen minutes until, he snld, he
plulnly felt John asking lihn which
monkey-wrench ho should bring—the
small ono or n larger one. After again
bidding him to bring tho lnrgo ono he
again sat down nnd waited patiently.
Not more than a half-hour elapsed bo
fore he saw John running toward him
with the new plow point nnd tho large
monkey-wrench. The broken plow
point wns hastily removed nnd tho
new ono put In Its plncc. Then Rob
ert continued Ills plowing nnd John re
turned to tho house. Tlic twins seem
to think there la nothing very remark
able nbout their marvellous gift of
communicating with each other when
they nre far separated. The distance
they nre apart seems not to make any
difference.
Not long ngo John hnd occasion to
go to the county-seat, which Is twelve
miles from his home. At the wish of
tlielr parents tho twins determined to
demonstrate whether they could com

A slngulnr kind of water glass Is

Jnr nre a few pebbles anil a sprig or
two of growing water plant. Against
tlio side of tho Jnr leans a tiny bidder
