So far from trees in streets imped-
ing the circulation of air, they help to
purify it; the evaporation from their
leaves determine current from
above. and the fresh air thus brought
down assists in driving away the
heated and dust impregnated gases of
the streets. another useful PROPERTY
of foliage is that, while in hot, dry
weather it moistens the surrounding
atmosphere, thus rendering it filter to
breathe, this effect, which is due to
evaporation, ceases in wet weather.

THE STAGE DRIVERS WIFE.

-Four bay horses dashed in fine style
up to the door of the inn, pulling behind
them the gorgeous red stage which sway
ed and reeled and rocked in fashion
that made the more nervous passengers
vince and shiver. Holliston threw his
reins to the stable boys, and went into the
house. He was bluff, big-fsted fellow,
rather gh-looking in his wolfskin over
coat and broad-visored cap. Nobody
ever doubted the kindness OF heart under
that unpublished exterior, however.
Now, as he tramped through the big
hall, on his way to the bar-room, he
paused at the sight of female figure in
one dim corner, with her face dropped
into both hands, and her whole attitude
one of sorrow and despair. The figure
was slender and young, clad in we'll
worn gray suit, and the hands on which
the brown head was bowed were white
and delicate.
81 beg your pardon, ma'am. Are you
in trouble: Can | be Of any service TO
you"
Then the girl looked up, and Hollister
recognized the daughter Of a man who
had been at the inn for some weeks--a
man whom the driver had no hesitation
in chasing as an adventurer and black
leg.
He had pi,ied the girl on that night
when he had brought them out from the
city; for size seemed lady, with her
quiet ways and her wistful eyes, and
not at all fitted for life of Bohemian
ism, such as her father was leading her.
She looked up, and meeting the express
sion of honest kindliness in Frank Hollis
ter's clear gray eyes, she struggled a mo-
ment for self-control, and then burst into
tears.
Frank squared his broad shoulders be-
fore her in order to screen her from the
curious gaze of any one who might
pass through the hall, and waited in ST.
lence.
Presently the girl raised her head once
more, looked at him with tear-stained
eyes, and said, with quivering lips: 81
