SUNDAY MORNING.
IN THE WEE
1 SMA’ HOURS
By AMy LEE
Copyright, 1602, by the S. S. McClure

Mrs. Hustles disapproved— hysteric
ally. James Anstrutlier said less, but
thought more deeply. But In the end
Elsa triumphed.
There were so many things, she in
sisted, that she wouid need for their
little home when the wedding occur
red in October—things without which
she could not keep house, but which
her mother’s limited income would not
permit her to buy. Seven dollars a
week and her three meals daily, with
absolutely nothing to do but hand out
keys and mail! The hotel was within
walking distance of their home, so she
could save every cent of her salary, to
say nothing of what her mother could
save on their table in her absence.
Mrs. Buggies had the old fashioned
southern prejudice against business
life for women. In a vague way she
realized that it was perhaps a particu
larly perilous position in which to
place her pretty daughter. Then, too,
sho looked forward with dread to the
three meals alone each day. Little did
her daughter realize how much she
would save on the table, bow seldom
she would set forth for herself more
than tea and bread and fruit.
Anstrutlier felt the rooted objection
which every good, manly follow must
make at thought of his sweetheart
working for her daily bread. He want
ed to assume that burden himself, but
Elsa had insisted upon waiting until
every cent was paid on their home
nest. Moreover, he disliked the publici
ty of it all, tbe phase of life which she
must inevitably see day after day.
But Elsa alternately pouted and ca
joled until she won hip point and was
duly installed ns key and mail clerk
at tbe Stuyvesant House.
At first slic was radiantly happy la
her work. The manager of the hotel,
Mr. Paxton, had been her father's
friend and took more than passing in
terest ill his new employee. It was
pleasant to wear her iong, trailing
black skirt and a fresh, dainty shirt
waist very day and to sweep into
the f ng room, where well trained
wn : served her. And pleasanter
st ; as !o buy certain little luxu
ries she bad 'ong wanted to add to her
wedding outfit.
But by and by tbe serpent of envy
raised its head in her new found Eden.
The regular guests passedfer in such
a bewildering variety of frocks that
her own simple outfit turned rusty 1b
her eyes. Out of (own people, iu for a
few days’ shopping, sent home C. O. D.
packages that made her own pur
chases look absurdly small. She dis
covered that what appeared like luxu
ries to her were the everyday necessi
ties to the majority of Stuyvesant
Houke guests. And why should these
women who carried their beautiful
gowns with such poor grace be given
all the good things of life while she
had so ifftle to set off her natural at
fractious? There were the two daugh
ters of a Butte mine operator who
wore rings outside their gloves and
tipped the waiters with crisp bills
l’hey had actually offered her a tip on
day ns <v handed out their keys.
Thinking of it all, a fever sometimes
burned id her veins that even the over
worked electric fan above her head
rouid not counteract.
Many of the guests tried to patron
iso her, but she kept herself proudly in
hand. As fc.r the men, she vouchsafed
them only the demurest “good morn
ins’’ when they made frequent and
often unnecessary trips to her desk.
This—until Ainslee came. Alnslee rep
resented a prominent New York im
porter, ordered his clothes from a
Broadway tailor, knew life and how to
enjoy it and had been a privileged
guest at the Stuyvesant ever since be
had been on the road. He was a spe
cial favorite with Mr. Paxton, who
granted him the unusual favor of an
Introduction to the new clerk.
Ainslee was to stay a week this time
When Mr. Paxton heard it. he regret
ted the introduction. Ainslee convinced
the head waiter that it was tiie diplo
matic thing and likewise a pecuniary
advantage to that dignitary to give
him a seat at Miss Ruggles’ table.
Later he assured his pretty table vis-a
vis that she was looking peaked and
pale. Iler position was too confining
She needed more fresh air in the even
lugs. Now, the very next night he must
run" out to Lake Placid to meet a cus
tomer. Would she go along? It meant
a lovely trolley ride, dinner with mu
sic on the piazza and a summer spec
tacle at the Casino. It would take him
but a short time to go over bushiest
details with his customer, and in the
meantime she could be drinking in
that much needed fresh air.
Elsa consulted both her mother and
her fiance, but with an air of finality
that showed the futility of objections.
A note of complaint sounded in her
voice. She never went anywhere, while
everybody at the hotel seemed to live
for pleasure. Austruther might have
reminded her that last year they had
gone everywhere together, but that
now he was denying liimself every
pleasure to make the final payment on
their home. Instead ho kissed her long
and tenderly and said he felt quite
sure that Mr. Paxton would permit her
to meet no one who was not a fit com
panion.
It was a greet evening for the uneo
phlsticated Elsa, who did not realise
that the money Mr. Ainslee lavished
was ilis firm's and was used to enter
tain the customer rather than herself.
In ronli’y she was merely a side issue,
a rewr 1 that Ainslee felt he deserved
for • llorts be w putting forth to
se new line of trade. It would
a r in his expense account.
ainslee was so different from
her own quiet lover. She wondered if
ail New York men would be like this—
so excessively watchful of her comfort
jn fp.ull thlmra. so '. m£fUUttJtm
persiflageliuu delicate in their flattery.
She wished that Anstrutlier had ac
companied them. Lately he had seemed
so preoccupied and was less mindful of
her little need's when ii public. Yet
when she reached home she was not
entirely sure that she had enjoyed the
evening. Perhaps the serpent of dis
content had raised his head too boldly
this time.
The next evening as she was leaving
her post Mr. Paxton came to her, wear
ing an anxious expression. The night
clerk had been taken ill, and tbe chief
Cay clerk had been called to tbe bed
side of a dying sister. Could she, would
she, stay on duty until he could secure
someone to relieve her? He would
gladly do so himself, but he had a po
litical dinner on hand. Elsa promptly
sent word to her mother, also a mes
sage to Anstrutlier to call for her short
ly after midnight, when someone would
surely lit* aide to take her place.
It was her first experience with
night work, and sho was entertained
by this new phase of hotel life—the late
arrivals, the theater parties (for some
of the playhouses were still open), the
tired tourists returning from trips up
the lake. Midnight came, but no An
struther. The bead porter offered to
relieve her on watch and send her
home In a cab, but she insisted upon
remaining, feeling sure that something
had detained Anstrutber.
One o’clock—and 2! A slight commo
tion echoed from tbe main corridor,
and n group of men entered noisily,
Ainslee In tbe center. They stopped
and blinked uncertainly at the circle
of light surrounding the office; then
Ainslee, with a remnant of the grace
she had admired the night before,
strolled to the desk and stretched
fortli his hand. His companions
watched him with wavering, watery
glances.
"Y’oughter been Tong tonight. We
turned Lake Placid red—bright red.
It’s shame for pretty girl like you”—
Something in Elsa's horrified gaze
checked Ms flow of words, and a hand
crunched down upon his shoulder. It
was Anstrutlier, white to the lips, with
the delayed message in his pocket and
wrath in his soul.
Fairly throwing the intoxicated man
into the arms of tlie head porter, who
had been roused from his nap behind
the telegraph desk, he strode round to
the door leading into the office. There
Ids manner changed. Elsa's trembling
figure and frightened face caused a
revulsion of feeling. Very gently he
reached fnr her hat and gloves. With
gentle deference he offered them to
her and held open the door for her to
pass out. To the porter as lie passed
he spoke a few curt words. To the gir!
he said nothing until they reached the
street—then:
“We must have a cab, dearest. Yon
are still trembling.”
Oh, the wealth of love and tender
ness and protection in his tones! She
clasped his arm lovingly.
“No, no; let us walk. 1 want to have
time to think before X see mamma. She
must never know the truth; it would
grieve her so, and I must find some rea
sonable excuse to offer her for leaving
the hotel at once.”
And so, arm in arm and in the bless
ed silence of those who once more un
derstaud each other perfectly, they
j walked away from the glare of the en
trance into the shadowy street that led
toward—home.

GREAT LECTURER
FORMER BRUNSWICK LADY IS
GAINING FAME IN THIS
LINE.
One of the season’s prominent lec
turers in the widespread chatauque
instruction is Mrs. Louella Styles
Vincent, a former resident of Bruns
wick, latterly of Stepliensville, Texas,
In the late fifties Mrs. Vincent’s fa
ille, Col. Carey V. Styles,was mayor of
Brunswick, and his name,, lias always
been associated with our welfare and
progress. In addition to his brilliant
interlectural attainments Col Styles
was a great lover of the beautiful in
nature and during his adininistrrtion
lie caused to lie planted several Hun
dred of the trees which are now t lie
glory of our city.
Col. Styles edited t lie Seaport Ap
peat during the latter years of his
residence in Brunswick, leaving it to
take a place on the staff of the
Galveston News in 1880.
As in the ease of Mrs. Humphrey
Ward, whose massive intellect
is a direct inheritance from her fa
ther, Matt hew Arnold, made so dear
to us all in .“Tom Brown's School
days,’’so also is Mrs. Vincent’s bril
liant mind an inheritance only nude
broadei and deeper by years of pro
found study and devotion to litera
ture. Her fame as a poetess and mus
ician is airedy establised, and her
prose works have won for her such a
high reputation in literary circles
that she lias been selected to deliver
ten lectures at tHe southwestern
summer school at Eurika Fall, Ark.,
an institution justly famous for its
classical course ;is well as its pedagog
ical department.
True to her native state and a loyal
daughter of Her marsh-girt seaside
home, Mrs. Vincent has selected as
her subject for the course of lectures
Sidney Lanier, ids life and writing,
under following heads;
X, Behold! in the South, a Star!
2. Lanier, the Man.
3. Lanier, the Poet.
4. Lanier, the Musician.
5. Ye Olden Knygiites Brought
Back by Our Lanier.
6. From Aeschylus to George
Eliot with Sidney Lanier.
7, The Lovers of Lanier.
fi. Lanier and the Mighty Bard of
Anon.
U- Our Heritage From Lanier.
10. Lanier, Our Laureate Beloved.
Tlie breadth of tlie subject chosen
furnishes a vast scope for the exercise
of the brilliant author's literary pow
ers and when published will be read
with eager interest by thousands of
Georgians to whom the very sound of
the name Lanier is dear.
It is to be desired that Mrs. Vin
cent will not coniine herself to lec
turing on the farther side of the
great Father of Waters, but at some
early day she will come and sing her
songs in her native land by the
length and breadth of the marvelous
marshes of Glynn.
A Farmer Straightened Out.
A man living on a farm near here
came in a short time ago complete

C. P. Rader, of Pattens Mills, N. Y.
“A few days he walked into the store
as straight as a string and handed me

want it in the house all the time for
it cured me.” For sale by all drug

A Goman physician advocates in a
German paper the frequent taking of
hot baths. '1 i"'se, he urges, are much
more licnltlif::: than the cold plunge,
which he thinks few systems can stand.
The water should l e at a temperature
in the beginning of 11)8 degrees F., this
to l.c increased until the water is as
hot as can be borne. The length of the
first bath should not be more than liv
minutes, and at no time should it be
longer than is agreeable with no sense
of discomfort apparent.
The writer cites in support of his
theory the practice common in Japan
among all classes of its people of taking
these hot baths. The porter walking
along with his load and fatigued to the
point of exhaustion, drops it for ten
minutes while lie takes a hot bath at
some public bathhouse. He emerges re
freshed and strengthened and goes or
his way rejoicing.
The writer considers that there is no
danger of taking cold alter a hot bath
and does not even advocate the use of
a cold shower to follow the bath. Hot
water is known to be an excellent cos- j
metic for the face, ami it is only fair
to assume that its revival of skin tissue
is not confined to that part of the body

Was, he himself lias told us. ilic result
of a happy bought. “In the morning
X used to gel up at 1 o'clock in order lo
pursue my studies, and i used at that
time the flint and steel, the use of
which 1 found a very great inconven
ience. Of course I know, ns other
chemists did, the explosive material
that was necessary in order tit produce
Instantaneous light, but it was very
difficult to obtain a light on wood by
that explosive material, and the idea
occurred to mo to put sulphur under
the explosive mixture. I did that and
allowed it In my next lecture on chem

"There was,” added Mr. Holden, "a
young man in the room whose father
was a clioiuist in London, and he im

and shortly afterward lucifer matches
were issued to the world. 1 believe
that was the first occasion that we had
the present lucifer match. I was urged
to go and take out a patent immediate

ter and it cost me so little labor that I
did not think it proper to go and get a
patent; otherwise I have no doubt it
would have been very profitable.”

“It is a matter of surprise to me,” re
marked a man who is a keen observer,
recently, “that half the children of this
country do not grow up minus an
arm.”
“But wherefore?” asked the person
to whom he was speaking.
“Here is an illustration,” continued
the first speaker. "I)o you see that
woman walking with a little child?
Now, notice her when she /losses the
street.”
At the crossing the woman lifted the
child by one arm. It dangled In the
air, and its feel did not touch the eartli
until it was across the street, when the
mother dropped it on tiie sidewalk.
“Well, tiie arm held, didn’t it?"
“But,” continued the philosopher, “I
was afraid at one time it would be
wrenched from its socket. Now, that
is a sight you can witness every hour
in the day—mothers dragging children
out of street ears, across tiie streets or
up a flight of stairs by one arm. I
wonder how the mothers would like it
If a being four times as large ns them
selves should suddenly swoop down
and lift them by one arm. I’d like to
see It tried once, I just would.”

Marina had boon highly wrought all
day. The thing which for a year she
had vaguely dreaded bad taken shape
and substance. Her mother had said
to her at the breakfast table, looKing
up from a letter as site spoke, “Marina,
Major Gabon writes be will be here
soon and when be leaves hopes lie can
take you with him as his wife.”
Marina had protested proudly; then
it had all come out. Major Gallon was
her dead father's friend and once upon
a time had saved him from ruin. llow
she did not quite understand, but there
was the fact. So her father had left
his daughter nail bis fortune to this
eld time friend. It' the dam-liter ac
cepted his choice, she was to share
equally In the fortune; if she rebelled,
she was to la* cut off with a hare an
unity, just sufficient to save her front
want.
"Why was I never told?" Marina do
mantled bitterly. "Why wss i kept In
this fool's paradise?" Her mother had
looked away as she. answered, with a '
little wan smile. ''Because, my dear,
we wanted your girlhood to be su- |
premely happy. Believe me, If one
does not have a taste of paradise,
then she is apt to miss It always.”
And then she had taken Marina In
her arms and talked to her ns the
mothers of only children alone know
how to talk. After that somehow the
fi' .v had worn itself peacefully away
until sunset. Marina smiled as she
heard the boom of the sunset gun in
tbe fort ten miles off. then suddenly
frowned and caught her breath. The

“I'pon my word.” Marina said, lift

“Yon know It is not that,” Nod pro

smothered voice: “Miserably happy is
the strict truth In my case. 1 want ts

Marina's free hand went over hi;

Half an hour later they were gallop

straight way toward the station, which
lay five miles off. Midway the dls

was danger in making the turn at full
speed, even with a kind and well bit

flTcii all id once reined iu Ins "horse so
sharply lie liung the beast upon its
haunehes li<; had almost ridden down
another man, who came lacii/g them
at their own speed. The newcomer
rode a big black, a hard headed, vi
cious brute. Ned knew It as the terror
of the village livery. Snorting, the
black horse shied violently, half un
seating his rider, then reared and be
gan to plunge back and forth, shaking
himself between plunges. Ned knew
Instantly that unless he himself went
to the rescue the other man was as
good as dead.
He leaped down and sprang to tho
black’s bit The brute leaped side
wise, then, open mouthed, charged
straight at him. Ned sprang lightly
aside, clutching at the loose, swinging
rein us he leaped. As his hand closed
upon it he drew it so short it gave the
black the full force of the curb. With
a loud, shrill squeal the animal reared
so suddenly Ned was snatched off his
feet and swung in air Wheeling, the
horse struck out rapidly with his fore
feet. But Ids rider had not been pas
sive. Some way be had got back in the
saddle, groped for the bridle and
shouted: "Let go! Let go! The beast
will kill you!”
As the last word left his lips Ned
fell heavily and lay Inert. One Iron
shod hoof had struck him full In the
breast The strange horseman sprang
down and knelt beside him. As M
rlna came galloping back she heart
him say: “Poor lad! Poor ladl So
young and happy! He had better have
let me die In his place.”
She. too. slid down and knelt upon
the other side, saying clearly: “You
are wrong. Major Gnlton. It fs best
so. This,” bending to kiss the white
face, “is the man I love, but I am go
ing to marry you.”

The battery went to the orient with
out its jnnior lieutenant. He was not
qnite dead, though for weeks he lay
In the shadow of the valley. When he
came back to himself toward Christ
mas time, he found that he had earned
promotion. It was not brevet rank ei
ther. He was to be Marina’s husband,
with the full emoluments of that posi
tion. Major Galtoi' took over the for
tune with one hand and gave It back
with the other. But he comes still
very often to Berry Brae, Marina’s
home—so often that Marina herself
begins to look significantly at her
mother when she mentions his name.
