And when the next flash came the
Round Tower was no longer outlined
against the eastern sky.
''It's gone said Bartlett. 81 calcu-
lated it wouldn't stand many more
shocks"
"And the two young artistsl'' gasped
Mrs. Embury, almost in scream.
1.-The Lord have mercy on their souls ~
solemnly uttered the old farmer.
''No, no." cried Della Bryce. des-
perately, pushing away the camphor
bottle which Mrs. Bartlett was assidu-
ously holding to her nose, Il don't want

Folsom is dead, there's nothing l care to

so wistfully at me when he jumped into

know-yes, / am certain-he would not
have gone oh, let me die-let me die -
"Smell the camfre, my DEAR" said
motherly Mrs. Bartlett ''There, there,
you'll be better soon"
Miriam sat by, sobbing piteously.
''She is right-she is rightn' said she.
cit is our fault. Oh, Frank, Frank, if
1 could only see you just once more
just long enough to tell you that loved
you-that l should never, never know
another happy moment"
"WhatH' shouted deep voice, above
the beating of the rain on the roof and
the roar of the gradually receding
thunder. ''Speak those words again,
Miriam. Let me be quite sure that | am
not dreaming"
"Keep ba k, Frank =" said Jay Folsom's
voice 1--WE have no business here"
"But l won't keep back" asserted
Stonebridge, knocking Mrs. Bartlett's
camphor- bottle out of her hand, as he
knelt on one knee close to the old
fashioned chintz lounge in the upper
hall where Miriam Wayland lay.
The girl sprang up, pushing the hair
out Of her eyes, while Della Bryce uttered
little shrek.
"Are-are you a ghost out of the
depths of the sea, come back to haunt
me?" said she.
'I'm my own solid, Individual self, "
protested Folsom. "My darling! my
precious Della! my true hearted girl!
It's worth being drowned half a dozen
times over, to feel what l am feeling
now. But we haven't been drowned
have we, Frank?"
"Not in the least" said Stonebridge,
who had by this time got close to
Miriam, and secured one of her little,
cold, f1uttering hands in his own, in
the most confidential manner in the
world. 'You see, dearest this is how
it was: We got there Just at dark, and
discovered, to our dismay, that old
Bartlett had forgotten to give us the
key, and the ancient chestnut door re-
sisted all our efforts to burst it open.
The windows were like Sits; and so,
after wandering around the bleak ledge,
we planted the Fourth of July flag in a
rift in the rocks, and rowed back,
coming quietly in by the rear door; and
just as we had fallen asleep the tempest
aroused US"
s'Just in time" said Folsom, exult-
antly, ''to come out on the landing and
hear what you two girls said"
''But we didn't know" began
Miriam.
"But you do now" interrupted
Frank.
''And so do wei" joyfully added
Folsom.
All that Fourth of July it rained-un-
interruptedIy, persistently.
But to this quartette of happy young
people It was the brightest National
Anniversary that ever dawned.
1t is strange what little difference
weather makes, when there is sunshine in
the heart.

TIGHTS TO BE WORN BY SOCIETY bellies

TIGHTS TO BE WORN BY SOCIETY bellies
Tights, it is asserted, are the latest ir un-
derwear The use of them by women in
private life hss go far established itself that
inquiry shows that ono or two of the largest
dry goods houses are getting III special con
signments for the delectation of society
bellies. Tights as worn under gowns are al
most invariably black, as being more chic
and moro Frenchy than other huss. They
are put on precisely after the actress fash
ion, thnt is, drawn up from the feet and
smoothed over the figure. What particular
feminine faacy such light under bushel
arrangement ministers to it would be hard
telling. One woman who has adopted the
fashion says that hers is light, cool and COM
fortsble, the best OF garbs for hot weather.
The decline of the hustle and return to
straight draperies displaying the figure has
something to do, probably, with the whim.

A Complaint Arnin.t Editors.

A gentleman of my acquaintance who

planning to me that the wicked editors
won't leave manuscripts alone. This is
one of the ~paradoxes of literature, it may
be remarked. A writer objects when the
editors leave his MSS. so severely alone
that they cannot get into print; he also
protests when they get into print because
the editor does not favor them with sufi.

There are many peculiarly annoying
features connected with the life of a dis
pcnsary physician which would doubtless
be laughed at if mentioned in the pres
ence of physicians who nave never filed

nation. For some reason, probably to
excite sympathy, all of these eleemo-
synaries attempt to get a seat where they
can see the physician. There they will sit
in a line on the benches and watch the
physician on every move that he makes.
Their countenances are not the most
cheering in the world, and the express
sions show pain and suffering from dis
ease and dissipation. and, in addition,
the paupers purposely wear the most for
lorn and far away lonesome look that
they can assume.
Altogether the steady glare from these
woe begone faces that meets the physi,
Clans eye every time he looks up from
his tedious work, is a source of much ag-
gravation and discomfort. Even when
the physician is making entries in his
ledger he, from q certain i~nscrutable
power of the mind, feels that every pau.
per's eye is glaring at him with a sickly
expression, and this constant thought be.
comes finally to be a horrible incubus
that has something of the depressing
effect of n bad dream. 1t is a worrying
thought, as if n man were dying in the
next room, or some dreadful calamity
were about to happen. In order to re-
move the cause of this depressed feeling
n large heavy screen was placed around
the physicians private office. which en-
tirely cuts off tho occupants of the
benches, and is a partial relief.-Dr. B..

We offer 40 apology for devoting so much time
and attention to this much neglected class Of
ity is too wretched to merit the sympathy and
best services of the profession to which we be-
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
the physician who devotes himself
TO relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less a
philanthrophist and a benefactor TO his race
than the surgeon or physician who by close ap-
plication eXcels IN any other b anch of his pro-
fession. And, fortunately for humanity, the day
is dawning when the false philanthropy that
condemned the victims of folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law, to die upcared
for, has passed away.
