As he approached the doorstep, his mand Involuntarily formed an anticipa tory image of the child whose first stitches in embroidery were like a fairy s weaving to tlie strong man who worked in ore and possibly figured out bridges. That she would prove to be of the anemic type, common among working girls gifted with an imagination they have but scant opportunity to exercise, he had little doubt. He was therefore taken aback when. at his first step upon the porch the door before him flew open, and he beheld in the dark recess be yond a young woman of such bright and blooming beaut) that he hard!) noticed her expression of extreme anxiety, till she lifted her hand and laid an admonitory finger softly on her Up: "Hush!" she whispered with an earn estness which roused him from his ab sorption and restored him to the full meaning of this encounter ‘‘There is sickness in the house and we are very anxious Is your errand an important one’.’ If not—’’ The faltering break In the fresh, young voice, the look she cast hatrind her Into the darkened interior, were eloquent with the hope that he would recognize her Impatience and pass on. And so he might hare done, so he would have done under ail ordinary cir cumstances. But if this was Doris and he did not doubt the fact after that first moment of startled surprise how dare he forego this opportunity of settling the fluesfion which had brought him bore With a slight stammer hut otherwise giving no evidence of the effect made upon him by the passionate intensity with which she had urged this plea, he as sured her thad his errand was important, hut one so quickly told that It would de lay her but a moment. But first.’’ said he. with very natural caution, ‘let me make sure that it is to Miss Doris Scott lam speaking My errand is to her and her only.” W it tout showing any surprise, perhaps too engrossed in her own thoughts to feel an. she answered with simple directness. "Yes.,l am Doris Scott ’’ Whereupon lie became this most persuasive self, and pull ing out a folded paper from his pocket, opened It and held It before her. with these words; "Then will you be so good as to glance at this letter and tell me if the person whose initials you will find at the bottom happens to be In town at the present mo ment?" Tn some astonishment now. she glanced down at the Sheet thus boldly' thrust be fore her. and recognizing the O and the B of a wett-known signature, she flashed a look back at Sweetwater In which he read a confusion of emotions for which he was hardly prepared "Ah," thought he, "It’s coming In an other moment I shall hear what will re pay me for the trials and disappointments of all these months." But the moment passed and he had heard nothing. Instead, she dropped Iter hands from the door jamb and gave such unmistakable evidences of intended flight, that but one alternative remained to him, he became abrupt Thrusting the paper still nearer, he said, with an emphasis which could not fail of making an impression. "Read It. Read the whole letter You will find your name thene This communication was ad dressed to Miss Chailoner, but Oh. now she found words! With a low cry. she put out her hand tn quick en treaty. begging him to desist and not speak that name on any jiretext or for any purpose "He may rouse and hear." she explained, with another quick look be hind her. "The doctor says that this is the critical day He may become con scious any minute If he should and were to hear that name, it might kill him ” "He”’ Sweetwater perked up his eats "Whom do you mean by he”" "Mr Brotherson, my patient, he whose letter Rut here her impatience rose above every other consideration \\ itli nnt attempting to finish her sentence, or yielding In the least to her curiosity or Interest 1n tht« man’s errand, she cried out with smothered intensity. “Go! go’ I can not stay another moment from his bedside ” But a thunderbolt could not have moved Sweetwater after the hearing of that name Mr Brotherson!” he eelmed “Brotherson!

If you have any mercy." And she began to push to the door. But Sweetwater was impervious to all hint With eager eyes straining into the shadowy depths just visible over her shoulder, he listened eagerly for the dis jointed words now plainly to be heard in some near-by but unseen chamber. "The second O. B.!” he inwardly de clared "And he’s a Brotherson also, and —sick’ Miss Scott.” he whlsperlngly en treated as her hand fell in manifest de spair from the door, “don’t send me away yet. I’ve a question of the greatest im portance to put you. and one minute more can not make any difference to him I Listen! those cries are the cries of de lirium; he can not miss you: he’s not even conscious." ‘‘He’s calling out in his sleep He’s calling her. just as he has called for the ■ last two weeks But he will wake con- i scious—or he will not wake at all.” The anguish trembling In that latter phrase would have attracted Sweetwa ter’s earnest, if not pitiful, attention at ; any other time, but now he had ears only • sot tlie cry which at that moment came ringing shrilly from within "Edith! Edith!” The living shouting for lhe dead! A heart still warm sending forth its longing i to the pierced and pulseless one. hidden in a far-off tomb! To Sweetwater, who had ; seen Miss Chailoner buried, this sum- ; mons of distracted love came with wierd force Then the present regained Its sway He heard her name again, and this time it sounded less like a rail and more like the welcoming cry of meeting spirits. Was death to end this separation? Had he found the true O B . only to behold an other and final seal fall upon tills closely folded mystery? In his fear of this pos sibility. he caught at Doris' hand as she was about to bound away, and eagerly asked: "When was Mr Brotherson taken ill” Tell me, I entreat you; the exact day and. If you can, the exact hour More de pends upon this than you can rearlily realize." She wrenched her hand from his. pant- i Ing with impatience and vgaue alarm. , But she answered him distinctly: "On the 25th of last month, just an hour after he was mad' manager. Ilf fell In a faint at the Works.” The day -the vcr> day of Miss Chai- I loner's death! Had he heard -dirt "ii tell him then or afterwards whin happened in New York on that very date’.'" "No. no. we have not told him It would have killed him and may yet ” "Edith! j-Idith!" came again through the hush, a hush so deep that Sweet water received the Impression that the house was empty save for patient and nurse. this discovery had Its effect upon him. by should he subject this young and loving girl to further pain’.’ He bad al ready learned more than he had expected to. The rest would come with time. But nt the first Intimation he gave of leaving, she lost her abstracted air and tinned with absolute eagerness toward him. "One moment.' said she “You are a stranger and 1 do not know your name or your purpose here But I can not let you go without begging you not to mention Io any one in thl-s tf>wn that Mr Brotherson has any Interest tn the lady whose name W'e must not speak.

It will help my father and it will help rue. and we need all the help we can get " Sweetwater allowed himself one minute of thought, then he earnestly replied: "1 will keep your secret for today and longer, if possible." " Thank you," she cried; "thank you. I thought I saw kindness In your face." And she again prepared to dose the door. But Sweetwater hail one more ques tion to ask "Pardon me," said he, as he stepped down on the walk, "you say that this Is a critical day with your patient. Is that why every one whom I have seen so far wears such a look of anxltey?" j es, yes.

Stf - Do You Know— A popular actress is said to indulge daily in a bath of sea water, milk and attar of ros“s. and a famous American society beauty spends over $25,000 a year on baths of Parma violet perfume, of which she reckons to use one gallon l>er "tub." The craze . for "flower baths," indeed, has grown so great in New York that a "hydropath” has been opened where you can obtain a bath of boiled roses, or lily of the valley, or pine needles and violets, or any of. a score of other flower dips" you may fancy. Adeline (fence will shortly depart on a six months’ tour in America. Dur ing the tour she will travel 28.000 mile.-, and in order to avoid fatigue she is engaging a special carriage on the train for herself, in which she will spend all the time when she is not on the stage Mlle. Genee will have a sit ting room, bed room, bath room and dining -.oom, with a chef to attend sole ly to her needs throughout the Jour ney. "I do this," says the little lady, "to obviate the unnecessary fatigue Incidental on a constant change of ho tels on my tour." A pet vat belonging to Miss Christie Macdonald, the actress, has been given a remarkable funeral. The cat, which was named Prow, went to sleep in the actress’ trunk and somebody shut down the lid. with the result that the animal was suffocated. The actress ordered a rosewood and silver coflin costing SSOO. from a firm of undertakers in New York, and in this the eat was buried.

But when we are bidding each I other good night and in each oth er's arms, she frankly admits that she does not love me as yet, but that she is trying real hard to. , She admits that she likes me a good deal. Can love be accomplished by trying or should it come natural ly? D. E. I.ove is not a matter of human will, and no amount of trying can force one's affections to grow. But I am of the opinion that she iovi s you and doesn't know it. Did you ever suggest to her that you are fond of some other girl?

The first thing a man should do when he comes home is to kiss his wife. All the wom en's magazines say so. But he doesn’t. The first thing he does is o take off his shoes, and by the time th it is done he has forgotten about the kissing. Lysander John took off his shoes. “A man’s feet." said Daysey Maytne, "are so ugly that if they were scrubbed with sapolio, powdered with rice flour, and baby blue ribbon tied around each toe. they wouldn't look well in the par lor.” Lysander John sighed, and, being the A RASH AWAKENING. Sleeping on a mat under the moon in a cannibal country is a pale adventure compared with a lodge in an old-time Irish inn at the height of the tourist season. A certain master of the Galway Hunt arrived at a small inn where all the beds were already taken. A kitchen ta ble was relinquished, a heterogeneous collection of bed clothes being arranged upon it into the exact nature of which it was perhaps not well to inquire too closely, as it seemed to be composed of contributions from the wardrobes of the hotel helps, and the sportsman turned in. The pillow was au odd-shaped sub stance, emitting a faint and strangely familiar odor: but the master of the Galway Blazers was too yyeary to con cern himself over such trifles, and he step as soundly on his makeshift couch as if it had been a canopied bed of state. H ■ yvas awakened in the morning by a gentle fumbling at the wrapping be side his couch, and started up to see a gleaming knife suspended above his head. ‘Tin sorry to be disturbin’ ye. sir,” said an apologetic voice, “but sure th’ house was out iv, pillows intirely, an' we put th' side iv bacon undher y’r honor's head.
