CHAPTER Nv,
Mr.. wHIrrLEsrArr GOES OUT TO DINNER.

Mr.. wHITTLEsrArF GOES OUT TO DINNER.
This would be her last opportunity.
So Mary told herself as she got out OF
the carriage at Mr.. Halls front door.
1t was made manifest to her by such 8
speech that he did not expect she should
do SO, but looked upon her doing so as
within the verge of possibility. She
could still do it, and vet not encounte,

she believed, to the other man also

reached her from him but week age
bidding her TO come, would she not
have gone through all the danger and
all the trouble? How willingly would
she have gone! II was the one thing
that she desired: and as far as she could
understand the signs which he had
given, it was the one thing which he de-
sired. He had made his appeal tc
that other man, and, as far as she
could understand the signs which had
reached her, had been referred with
confidence to her decision. Now she
was told that the chance of changing
her mind was still in her power.
The matter was one of terrible i'm
portance; but was its importance to
Mr.. Whittlestaff as great as to John
Gordon? She put herself altogether
out of the question. She acknowledged
to herself, with false humility, that
she was nobody she was a poor
woman living on charity. and was not
TO be thought of when the position of
these two men was taken into consid-
GRAFTON. 1t CHANGED that they both
wanted her. Which wanted the most?
Which of the two would want her for
the longest? To which would her SER
vices be of the greater avail in assisting
him to his happiness? Could there be
a doubt? Was it not in human nature
that she should bind herself to the
younger man, and with him go through
the world, whether in safety or in dam
ger?
She knew that she had made up her
mind on the matter Mr.. Gordon would
in all probability have no opportunity
OF saying another word TO her. But let
him say what word he might, it should
be in vain. Nothing that he could say.
nothing that she could say, would avail
anything. If this other man would re-
lease her-then indeed she would be re-
leased. But there was no chance Of
such release coming. In truth, Mary
did not know how near the chance was
to hcr-or rather, how near the chsnce
had been. He had now positively made
up his mind, and would say not word
further unless she asked him. II Msry
said nothing to John Gordon on this
evening he would take an OPPORTUNITY
before they left the house to inform Mr..
Hall of his intended marriage. When
once the word should have passed h.s
mouth, he could not live under til
stigma of q second Catherine Bailey.

Special Work Of Special Brain. Regions.

What has thus been proved of the
location of perception by sight. and of
cight-memories in the posterior part OF
the brain, has also been proved of
other senses and their memories. The
perception of sound and sound-memo-
ries are destroyed when the lower part
Of the BRAN 1.-THE temporal region) is
in ;ured. but are not affe tied as long as
this region remains intact. When the
anterior of this region is destroyed. the
animal becomes deaf to sounds OF low
pitch; when the posterior portion is in
iured, high notes are no longer heard.
# the region is entirely extlrpated. the
ANNA is totally and permanently deaf.
Ii it is only partly extirpa.ed. the ami
NAL loses all memory of words or COM
mands formerly recognized, attaches
no meaning to the cry of its puppies.
to the snap of the whip, or to its mas
ter's whistle. The perception of touch
and its memories are destroyed when
the upper lateral portion of the brain
Is injured (the parietal region). Vol
untary motion is suspended when the
antero-lateral portion is destroyed. If
the destruction of this part is complete,
the paralysis IS permanent; if not, re-
covery is possible. in all these regions
the distinction between actual and po-
tential obtains: # the actual area only
is cut out, the acquisitions already
gained are lost; but. as long as some
of the potential area remains, the
power to acquire is present and recov-
cry is possible.
Thus, oy experiment. a number Of
regions are mapped out on the surface
of the brain and the function of each
is determined. When the results
the PSYCHOLOGISTS are compared with
those of the ANTAGONISTS, they are found
to ayree. The area of the brain which
the psychologist has shown to govern
sight has been shown by the anatomist
to be connected by means of insulated
white nerve-fibers with the eye. The
area which, one says, governs touch,
the other says is connected with the
skin. The area which one proves to
be concerned with voluntary move
ments, the other finds to be joined to
the muscles. Thus the two independ-
ent lines of evidence unite in indicat-
ing that each region Of the brain has
its own work to do, its own memories

Care Of Others IS a Policy.

Care for others helps SO surely in
life's struggle that it would be good
policy for the naturally hard man to
benefit others for purely selfish motives,
and still better policy to cultivate kind
illness and consideration as qualities
sure 10 be fruitful of profit. The kind
ly nature which leads to spontaneous
goodwill toward others, Independently
of any consideration of gain to self, Is
even more profitable than cultivated
kindness. Those are lucky who pos
cess such a nature-lucky rather than
deserving of special credit, seeing that
sympathetic nature is born in q man.
not made by culture. Yet the will has
much to do with the development Of
kindliness: and many, by sensible re-
Election and constant watchfulDess over
the undue promptings of self, have
trained themselves to a kindness and
geniality of manner such as they were
not naturally gifted with, and this with
out any direct reference to self-interest,
but as a matter of right and justice to
their fellows. Such men deserve much
credit for their care in correcting in
herent tendencies to undue care of self.
The increased happiness of their lives
Tin so far at least as happiness depends
on conduct) is their reward.
Among the good effects of kindly re-
gard for others we may note the reflect
ed happiness derived from those around.
Men vary with their company, and I'M
doubtedly the man of sympathetic tenn
permanent whose presence is pleasure
to othe.s finds others much plessanter
in their relations with him than thew
would be were he of hard, ungeniaf
nature The wife and children of the
kindly man are a constant pleasure to
him, where the wife and children of
the sour-tempered. ungenial husband
and father are apt to grow gloomy and
quarrelsome. His friends aud relatives
are kindlier than those of the harsh and
selfish. Abroad. he sees few faces
which do not reflect something of his
own brightness and cheerfulness. AS
Mr.. Herbert Spencer well saws: "Such
a one is practically surrounded by .
world of better people than one who is
less attractive; if we contrast the state
of q man possessing all the material
means to happiness, but isolated by his
absolute egoism, with the ate of an
altruistic man relatively poor in means
but rich in friends, we may see that va
rious qualifications not to be purchased
by money come in abundance to the
last, and are inaccessible to the first"

REDUCING EXPENSES.
Two Hundred Clerks at the Pennsylvania
Railroad Office To BE Discharged.

Philadelphia Times
It was reported yesterday that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company was about to materi-
ally reduce the number of it's employees on its
lines east of Pittsburg as well as west and that
as a starter, two hundred of the eight hundred
men engaged at the Fourth street office were to
be dismissed at once. A prominent official of
the company when asked as to the truth of
the rumor, said:
'Retrenchment is the order Of the day, but
the case is clearly not so bad as it has appar-
emily been represented to be. 1t has been de-
cided to cut down the number of our employees,
and it will be done within say month. ! can
not give you figures, but no radical
proceeding is necessary or will be
made. We shall simply be doing what
any prudent man would do in private enter
prise in these times 1t is only necessary to
examine the recent monthly statements to see
that the earnings of the road have, owing to the
depression in business, decreased. Since we
have less to carry than formerly we need a
smaller service. We shall lop of all superhuous
trains and discharge unnecessary men. We
think it is much better to mako service mar
row than to make a general reduction of wages
Where wages are cut down it is inevitable that
most of those who suffer should become dissat-
isfed and the character of the service lowered
If, however you weed out every unnecessary
man without reducing wages, those who remain
will work all the harder People have got the
impression that radical changes have been made
in the West by the fact that branch roads have
very largely been brought under one accounting
head. That idea has been in practice here for
several years and has been found to be a decid
