His voice failed for a time. When It
came again he whispered that a priest be
brought or q sister.
Seymour looked about him in a dazed
way. He stroye to collect his thoughts.
He trembled end gazed fearfully up at the
wall and ceiling as II they might fall
upon him.
He crept dizzily down the silent street
where day must break ere long. As yet
the sky wal blue with the night un-
pierced by any star. The air was thick
and sultry.
He crept along the narrow street as
rapidly as possible. What little strength
he had was miraculous. At moments he
wondered il this was not a dream.
He must find aid or return alone.
A thin and greenish gray pierced the
eastern sky. When this had widened to
a golden stream, rose tinged, he had
sought and found a meek-faced sister.
They returned as quickly as his weak
ness would permit.
The room was still; the mornings earli-
est rose light trembled on the wall. The
lifted curtain fluttered in the window
frame.
Janeway was breathing family, his eyes
Enclosed and his gaze slowly sought the
rcountenance Of the nun. His pinched
feature softened, a child's smile came
upon his lips. He lifted his head, as If
yearning toward some unseen face.
@AmyT' he cried, and fell back on the
pillow.
The rose light still trembled on the
wall; the curtain futtered softly.

and kneeling.
And Seymour, turning, staggered from
the room.-Lily Curry in New York Mer-

Dutch Billy came up past the little
houses in Hunters row, and stopped at
the back gate Of a Spruce street man
sion. Soap fat, soap fatl" he called, and
opened his can. The gate into the row
swung back and banged against the can.
"Himmel," said Dutch Billy to the red

"Lose what, We thafer"
Dutch Billy stuck his fingers down into
the fat and pulled out a plain gold ring.

gave up the ring.
The gate slammed, and as the peddler

Eat Whatever You Like.

In his work on "The Hygiene Of the
Vocal Organs" just issued, DIR. Macken-
Eie, of London, speaking of the effects of
food on the general health of the singer
or speaker, says: "Let a man a to the
satisfaction Of his natural appetite what
his palate Graves and his stomach does
not kick against; an adult has, as q rule,
been taught what his ailment should be
by that most practical physician, expert
ence. Let him take his meals at regular
intervals, and chew his food properly, and
he may laugh at the highly-refned menus
dictated by the trainers of C'etetic deca-
logues.
This recalls the advice once given by a
level headed physician to a lady in deli
cate health, who complained Of not hav-
ing q good appetite. IGet a bottle Of
chow-chow and eat it with fried calls
liver and bacon" said the doctor. Sat
whatsoever you like" It is possible, no
doubt, to live on bread and milk, but if
nature had designed that we should do
so she would not have filed the waters
with fish, the air with fowl, and the fields
with cattle and fruits. Oysters were I'M
doubtedly made to be eaten, although
they must have looked mighty suspi-
cious1 TO the man who, with infinite mis-
givings, swallowed the first one.-Paul
