A curious case OF malposiiion OF
the heart was recently discovered by
a physician in a patient who was con.
sultipg him for spinal trouble. The
woman is about twenty years old, Of
good form, handsome face and pleas
ing disposition. A careful study Of
the precise locality and form Of the
heart shows il to be- transferred to the
right side Of the chest, and instead Of
the apex beating just below the breast,
il strikes upward against the right
collar.bone, near IL outer third. In
this case there must he a double curb
to the large vessels Of the heart, and
the base Of the heart is downward.
In other words, this heart Is on the
wrong side of the body, and
is upside down. This unnatural
condition Of things does not give rise
TO any serious Inconvenience, except
when moving too quickly or going up,

Fred laid it down as quickly as though
the innocent pasteboard scorched his fin

falling upon the sofa buried his face in
the pillow and moaned:

Soon the sound of carriage wheels

across the carpet, and two soft hands
touched him when a sweet, familiar voice
whispered:

saying:
"Welcome home, brother George!

"Not at air. responded George as they

"Did you care so much," whispered
Rosa, nesting closer. But you deceived
me, and felt so badly If you had only
told me- But we will be good now, won't

kiss of peace.
"Of course we will, said Fred, peni-

forgive me this once. I was punished,

But" he added quickly-''we did call to

to blush little.

him about it next morning. Turned the
tables neatly"

She Went to the Ball.

A Richmond IVA correspondent says:
saw one striking example of the self
assurance of the American girl who, this
morning, is the envy of all her fair COM
panions at this hotel. She was bright
and handsome girl from some neighbor-
ing city and sat with some friends in the
parlor of the Exchange Hotel, where the
officers were lettering about for an hour
or more previous to their departure for
the ballroom. Miss Columbia, with all
the ambition of her sex, saw the hand
some figures and glittering costumes of
the French officers and longed to know
something more of them. "Won't you
point out to me the Count De Grasse?"
she asked of an American newspaper COR
respondent Of the party. Ser
tainly,' was the reply. II will point all
these gentlemen out to you" ooh, my,
how handsome" she exclaimed, as one
by one the officers entered the parlors.
"How sorry I am not to be able to go to
the,ball." And she gave her walking
suit little twist as though, like Cinder-
ella, she could transform it into a ball
room costume. The little "godmother"

word of French to the superb French
man, who spoke no English. The young
lady, by no means abashed, NUT
tered her regrets at not being
able to attend the festivities, and the
Frenchman, through an interpreter,
begged the young lady to go with him.
The color flew to her cheeks, her eyes
sparkled with delight, she hesitated a
moment, and then, being an American
girl, she went. How her lady compan-

will she go with the fellow" they
exclaimed, in chorus, as the girl took the
arm of her escort, who was delighted at
the prospect of so beautiful companion.
"She will, said the journalist, land if I
could / would like to supply you all with
handsome French escorts" saw them
later, arm in arm, as silent as twin
sphinxes. They danced early and often
however, and despite the mutterings of
disapprobation that are being whispered
about the ladies' parlors this morning,
Miss Columbia is the happiest girl in
Richmond.
