And the poor old people at the alms house grew to love Doctor Mary and listen with eager ears for the sound of her carriage wheels over the blue gravel drive which led up to the portico. It Was a brilliant December day when the young physician stood in the .neatly i4»peted reception-room, drawing on her fur gloves previous to entering' her neat phaeton once* again, while she re- i grated to the white-capped maid some directions concerning old Ann Mudgett’s rheumatism, when the matron hur ried in. “ Oh, I beg your pardon, Doctor Clairmont," said she, “but I clean forgot the new old woman ! ” “The new old woman,” repeated Doctor Mary, with a smile. “That is,” explained Mrs. Cunning ham, “ she only came last night.—a quiet old soul, half blind and quite bad with the asthma..

When she had ceased speaking Aunt Jo nodded her head. “You have done well and wisely,” said she..

Miss Clarimont was only one-and- twenty, a tall, imperial Beauty, with dewy black eyes, a skin : as fresh as damask roses, and dark-brown hair, coiled in shining bands at the hack of her head. j Moreover, Mis3 Clarimont had a “career” before her. She had just graduated frosa Medfleld Medical University and taken nut her diploma as anM. D. “And only to think of it,’’ said Aunt Jo, bursting into tears of vexation and disappointment, “ that she must needs go and ruin all her prospects by getting engaged to Harry MarioWj down in New York!” “It does seem strange, Aunt Jo, when I sit down and think of it,” said Doctor Mary, laughing, and blushing. “Six months 1 ago niv profession was all the world to me, 11 neither,, wished<nor cared for anything outside its limits.

There, you are mistaken. There is nc higher or more dignified lot in life than that of the true wife of a no ble husbands,” “ Fiddlesticks !” said Aunt Jo. 1 “ As if every'poor fool who was dazzled by the glitter of S wedding-ring didn’t say the same thing! You’ve disappointed me, Mary Clamnont, and I’m ashamed of you, and that is the long and the short of it.” Mary smiled. “ Dear Aunt Jo,” said she, “I shall not let my sword and shield rust, believe me. Harry has only his own talents to advance him in the world, and it will be at least a year before we shall be ready to marry. In the meantime 1 7 shall ac cept the post of visiting physician to the Aldenbury almshouse and practice my profession in Aldenbury, just the same as if- there were no engagement.” “I wish to goodness there wasn’t,” .saicLAunt Jo» “ I tell you what, Mary, I don’t fancy that smiling, smooth tongued young man of yours, and I never shall.” Still Doctor Mary Clarimont kept her temper. “I am sorry, Aunt Jo,” she said,' pleasantly. “But I hope that you will eventually change your mind.” “I used to keep a tbread-and-needle store when I was a young woman,” re marked Aunt Jo, dryly, “and I always could tell the ring of a counterfeit half- dollar when a customer laid it on the counter. - I could then, and I can now— and I tell you what, Mary, there’s base, metal about Harry Marlow f§ Doctor Mary bit her lip. ^ “ Perhaps.

That is an unusual name, isn’t it?” said Mary Clairmont, coloring in eggis of herself. “We’re English, miss.,” said the old woman, struggling . braveiy with her asthma. “There ain’t many;of us in this country.

So I went to Dr. Merton and asked him did he know of any decent place where an old woman like me could end her days in peace. And he gave me a card to come here and some money to pay my traveling expenses—God bless him 1— and here I am !” Mary Clarimont had listened quietly ,to the garrulous tale, but the .color had varied in her cheek more than once as she stood there. . “ Is your son’s name Harry Marlow ? she said, slowly and thoughtfully. “Yes, miss, at your service,” said the old woman, with a duck of her white-capped head, which was meant to do duty in place of the impossible courtesy. “Is he like this ?” said Doctor Mary, taking a photagraph from her pocket. “The old woman, with trembling hands, fitted on her iron-bowed .spec tacles, and looked at the picture, utter ing a little cry of recognition. “Sure, miss, it is his own self,” she cried. “ You are acquainted with him, then?” : “ Somewhat,” said Doctor Mary, com posedly, as she returned the photograph to it’s place.

Stone Wiggins, LL. D., the Canadian astronomer who recently warned the President that “preeminent ly the greatest storm that has visited this continent” since the days of Wash ington will sweep over the United States on certain days of next March, appears to be responsible for some remarkable statements in an Ottawa newspaper. The Free Press of that city soberly de clares that “The leading scientists of Europe have endorsed the prediction,” and adds: “There can Jbe no doubt that if the Toronto Meteorological Bu reau had acted upon his warning in September the Asia, with a hundred squls on board, would not have been lost. The United States Signal Office, however, so the American Register tells us, had implicit’ faith in his predictions, owing to hisitanding as an astronomer in that counpy, having ranked second in the race jfcor...the Warner prize last year, for yraieh; 125 of the-*leadingAs tronomers Competed. Accordingly three days I,c — 1 lo they hoisted jthe storm signals, and the same jminialJtells us that his prediction in that one instance saved the United States f 8,000*0(501”“ ‘ This is a/pretty story to tell to Dr. Wiggins’ doubting countrymen, but it has no value on this side of the border. The Signal Service Office does not in any way sanction the prediction for March, and we think it is entirely safe to say that, instead of having had “im plicit faith” in any forecast from Cana da last September, the recent letter to the President was the first warning the bureau had that Dr. W iggins was abroad. The storm signals hoisted along the coast between 10 a. m. of September 5 and 12:05, of September 18, were warnings of the approach of a cyclone from the tropics, and had no connection with the storm from the Pa cific Coast in which the Asia was lost. The cyclone was of such great .energy that signals were also raised on the lakes for northerly winds; but these were lowen^F September 11, and no more were again displaced until the morning of the 14th, the day the Asia was lost in Georgian Bay. In other words, the lake signals were lowered before the Asia storm reached the Pa cific Coast, and they were not ordered up again until that storm suddenly de veloped great violence over Lakes Supe rior and Huron, which was after 11 p. m. of September 13. The warnings for the cyclone - made without knowledge of any prediction of Dr. Wiggins—saved at least $13,000,000 in property, enough to cover the expenses of the signal ser vice for ten years.—N. F.
