"All right Carlton laughed, slipping som coin into his admirers hand. ssGive it to the little ones, with my love" <"
 That was how it happened that Miss Trente, taking car in front of Browne & Go. s, found herself face to face with Jack Carlton.
 She stared incredulously as he flushed, lifted his hat, and then quietly turned the brake and started his horses.
 ssMr. Carlton, is 1t possible ?" fs f-
 He gave silent glance toward the crowd looking on. The old look of wondering compassion, mingled with something else, gleamed on him for moment, then she si- lently passed inside
 GA delightful position" thought Jack, rather regretting his quixotism.
 Then came the reflection. What did it matter What was he to Hecuba, or He- cuba to him ? And he ground his teeth together savagely, and forgot to take up any more passengers.
 A gentle touch upon his sleeve recalled him suddenly, and he stopped the car withss out meeting her eyes.
 sI am visiting friend here. Will you come this evening ?" half-command, half entreaty and, before Jack recovered from his astonishment, she had placed card in his hand and was gone.
 He never remembered how that drive was finished. s sesGs4-; s4.4ss .. Some recollection came of 8 narrow es- cape from arrest at the depot, and he had vague impression of being abused by some passengers who seemed to have pass ed their destination, and threatened by others who resorted to jumping off while his horses were being urged to their ut most speed. -Fy ..- ..-
 But he did not notice anything partic- ular until darkness found him in Miss Trente's presence. There was a certain constraint in her greeting that troubled him. |5'7@ -'S.
 After a while she showed him 8 familiar envelope, saying %%<. '~ s~.-'- .' A .' 'A
 "See, the number is wrong-two instead of three and it did not reach me until you were gone, and you left no address. "
 His face grew bright as new brass pre- serving kettle. .-.,.-
 ''Then you did not send me away, an d you will not now ?''
 eff you still mean all this''-with shy glance at the letter whose eloquence had been so nearly wasted-"I would not send you away for the world''
 Evidently Jack was sure of his meaning.
 ''Even knowing my position ?" he said, presently, with queer smile in his eyes.
 ''I cannot bear to think of that" she cried, eagerly. "Don't you go back to those horrid cars ever again. Indeed, I cannot bear it, while I have so much, Jack"
 My dear, cried Jack, 9 with light-heart- ed, ringing laugh, ''I have been growing rich, not poor, and now l am the richest man ill the world.

Mr. Gomard said, q had been, as many of my friends in Lowell know, great sufferer from kidney and urinary troubles for long time. My physician said it the result of diseased kidneys and enlargement of the prostate gland. I had suf- fered terribly, and although my doctors treatment had been the best which this city afforded got no better. said finally, Doctor, it's use.

''Stand from under !'' She was passing under the scaffold of an unfinished build ing three days after the posting of MT. Carlton's epistle, when this cry and an ominous crashing overhead brought her to standstil of terror.
 e She was still undecided which way to fly, when a figure stepped quickly from the doorway near and lifted her within.
 When the crash was over and the dust clearing, she found her senses sufficiently to recognize Jack Carlton.
 ''This way Miss Trente. I can insure you safer return, said he, quietly, lead ing the way to the rear entrance of the house.
 Miss Trente gave shuddering glance at the still vibrating timbers.
 'sThey would have crushed me to atoms, " she murmured, fea1fully.
 s'I was very fortunate to be in time, ]" Carlton said, after brief pause. "The house is one of my uncle's, and I happen ed by with directions from him."
 There was a kind of stern repression about him that Miss Trente noticed with surprise. +s$$Es 4s3EnE&

 ''And sorry, no doubt," MT. Carlton in terrupted, bitterly. ''But compassion and gratitude are what never desire from any woman-least of all from you, Miss Trente. ,
 The little hand that had started toward him returned hastily to it's fellow in the shelter of dainty huff, and Miss Trente's pretty brows raised trife with dismay.
 "Oh p she gasped. Then, with gentle dignity: 'I will not offend so far again and passed on with slight bow
 But Jack cried, Forgive me p in 8 tone of trouble and contrition, that stop ped her as efectually as an iron grasp could have done.
 ''I did not mean that. Forget it, and say good-by. .a..- -....
 His hand was extended entreatingly, ,and hers met it without hesitation. .
 Are you going away ?" she asked, gently, wondering at the white shadow on his face. "
 ''What else ?'' he asked. ~.r. .
 Her eyes fell, and her color changed slightly as she murmured: .e. .......
 ''I hoped you would learn to forget.''
 s'In death, perhaps
 She looked up then with quivering lips and world of compassion in her eyes. "Good-by. You know what that means ?'
 ''God be with you.'' ..-----
 And she passed on, an expression ming ling with the pity in her face that puzzled him, for had she not sent him away?
 It puzzled him so much that he would have followed her but for the fash of her diamond earrings.

Now is the time when the tired business man, lon his way home in the evening, hesi- tates over 25-cent box of strawberries that he knows would gladden. the hearts of his wife and children at at home. He buttons his pocket, sighs, declares he cannot afford it., and turning around meets two or,,three friends whom he immediately invites to take some thing. The something" costs seventy-fve cents. When he gets home he tells his wife about how nearly he had been tempted to buy the strawberries, and she agrees with him that it would have been gross extravaganza.

{ CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
stLittle things on little wings Bear little souls to heaven"

He wrote, and wrote, and wrote. Not exactly from fearly morn till dewy eve, ," but from the cricket's first shriek to the rattle of the milkman's equipage. He told first how he loved her, and, being 8 slightly sensible man and thoroughly in earnest, that did not require much space ]; but then he had the story of an old love to explain-how he had been bewitched by other smiles, and only escaped their thralldom when the fair enchantrcss had proved herself unworthy by marrying some one else Moreover-an this was 8 difficult point t-those chains had been riv- ited not before he met the object of his present devotion, but under her eye and with her encouragement as confident.
 He felt keanly the delicacy of this posi- tion, and 1t is not unlikely that his brain and pen did also. Then there was anoth- CT troublesome point The mighty dol lar" had most pertinaciously evaded his grasp, and while that fact alone offered brilliant suggestions for eloquent pictures, viz, Glove in a cottage" and strong, de- voted arms, it shrunk disagreeably when coupled with the knowledge that Miss Trente was an heiress.. ....-..
 He spent large portion of the night dreaming on this situation reversed. How glorious to possess every ything, and say, .'An yours, my queen" But while there was latent relief that she would never know privation for him, the waking was bitter, and had his affection been one iota less, he had flung his letter into the fire, and his love as far as possible into Lethe. As it was, he wrote on, ending in an impet- uous, heartfelt fashion, thus
 sIf you send me away, let it be by silence can | not bear No from your lips.'
 Then he hastened to sign, seal and de- liver te the corner post.
 It was on deserted corner, and gray morning so perhaps no one saw that he touched the letter to his lips-certainly no one knew that he breathed a prayer toward the tiny streak of silver that Au- rora was pushing over the eastern chim- neys.
 Being sensitive, reserved young man, he considered this ignorance on the part of humanity laudable but if some kind busybody could have hinted another glance at the direction on that envelope, how doubly grateful he would have been ]!

Peter Lawler of Dalton, Mass states in letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had been troubled with bladder complaint for IA years and had consulted at different times seven physicians but nothing be- yond temporary ahayment of the pain had been work ed for him.
