In O dream, and looked long and earnestly ut
Philip cs he came toward her There was a
red spot on either check, and her eyes seemed
pretcrnaturally large AID bright. At FIRST
be fancicd it'was out of joy at seeing him.
Then she smiled as if she bad not thought of
it before, but with strange Centlcaess that
was intensely pathetic.
''You don't como as often as you used, but
you have always beol very good and kind to
me, Philip" she said vaguely, as If rehears-
ing the virtues of the departed.

eyes wandered linserin2ly around the parlor

'It is nothing, my own sweetheart" he an.

She did not seem to hear him II must

YOU know, what it all mea2t."
She had taken his hand, and bent ovel
toward him with troubled look on her face
She rested one hand on his shoulder, and hel
lips almos. touched his forehead.
"Do you forgive mef she said softly, ant

angels whisper.
"Why, there is nothing TO forgive" PhiliI

she had dared. She looked away from the
nan, but she could see with beating heart he
was coming directly toward her. But per-
haps he did not see her, and he might turn
aside yet God grant he be an honest man,
whose wife's loving face was in his thoughts
at this moment There were such men. But
instead of moving aside the man stopped
short just before her. and she raised her big,
scared eyes to his face. ...
"Why, Bertha, l thought it was you"
Sure enough it was Philip Breton. He had
come from the mill, where there had been
somc extra work, and wore his working
clothes.
"Let me walk home with you," he said
very gently as if he had no right to assert
any privilege with her.
~ came too far, and got frightened" she
said drea1nily, as she rested her hand on his
arm.
Her hand was cold, but it sent his young
blood tingling through his veins.
81 am so sorry" How he longed to catch
her white hand to his hips, and warm it with
kisses. But lately she had treated him with
a new GOODNESS, and her GOODNESS he dare not
meet. He dreaded to face it, it panied him so
past endurance and he had called on her but
seldom since the night of the fire. But now
his heart was full of eloquent love; SO full he
could not conceive of her not sharing in it.
It was ehe called it forth, she must have
something for him.
They had reached her gate. She would
surely invite him to go in with her. Then
she could tell him if he had done anything to
displease her. He could remember nothing,
but there might have been some unconscious
cold word or tone, as if, poor fellow, he had
not been only too tender with her.
'Good night" she said She had lost the
tremor in her voice fright had given her, and
all the softness of heart of her loneliness,
81 thank you, she added, coldly, as he did
not go, but stood looking as if he did not
quite understand.
"Good night" he answered, with great
throb in his throat. He stumbled awk-
war,ily, as he went down the steps; he could
mot SEQ very well for the mist in his eyes.

ono man did the other day." -
The two other men looked anxiously at
their spokesman. If they had dared they
would have begun to make excuses for COM
ing Their wives and babies must be fed,
and talking about their rights wouldn't ever
feed them. Let others who could afford to
offend him go to the meetings. But the poor
fellows were afraid to raise their voices, even
in apology.
''I3ut the willingest of us all don't want to
be roasted to death, and it amt bit pleas
anter to Us men folks to think of secin' our
wives and children burnt up before our eyes.

speech for John Graves il such august pres.
ence. and he delivered it in the monotonous
Yankee drawl which carries high tragedy or
low comedy without distinction of accent.
''Therc is no danger" he answered with O
gruf3 laugh, ''aud in business we can't spend

his visitors over the file Of letters ut would

Bill Rogers fingered his pipe uneas;ly in
the significant silence that followed, and
finally drew it half out of his pocket through
force of habit in distress. Then ho found hh

poor devils down again. The last cut seemed
as if it would kill us, till we found how little
it takes to keep soul and body together if q

squire, dog has the best of some on us now
for folks let him steal" The tall man thrust
back his pipe into the depths of his pocket,
and his face hardened inro sullen expression
as he added solemnly: Il callate another cut

might as well give us the least we can live on

Is If CANNIBALISM !?

DR.. ]. 6. Herman On the Whitechapel Murders
Similar Cases Traced.
The oft-reapeated atrocities of the
London Whitechapel murderer are coming
to be diseased in many quarters, not
more as horrible sensation than as an
indication of the possibilities of human
depravity in any center of civilization
DR.. j. G. Herman, of Chicago, a recog-
nized medical authority and editor of tn
Medical Standard, was asked yesterday
for his opinion on the subject and re-
piled:
"The Whitechapel murders are clearly
the work of a lznatic of the Sexual per
vert type, fortunately rare In Anglo
Saxon lands, but not infrequently met
with in Russia, Germany, Bohemia and
France. In these lunatics there is re-
tu-n to tie animal passions of the low
est cannibalistic savage races. Canni-
balism, shown in thirst for blood, and
these animal passions, come to the sur
face when the checks imposed by centur-
les of civilization are removed either by
disease or by the defects inherited from
des eaerate parents. The most noted of
these cases was that of GILES de Retz,
the original Bluebeard, of tho reign of
Louis XIV, who slaughtered 200 female
children in the same way as the White
chapel butcher. The mutations were
very similar. Dumallard was another
one Of these savages born in the midst

Forests Preserve the Moisture

The Importance Of preserving forests
becomes evident in South America. J. G
Gamble, in the "Proceedings of the In
stitnte of Civil Engineers" points out
that the soil Of Africa becomes dryer ev-
cry year. Although the amount of pre-
cipitation is not decreasing, the springs
become less strong, and rivers that nsed
TO flow permanently are dry during sum-
mer. Gamble considers the devastation
of forests and the grass and bush fires
the principal reasons for this state of af-
fairs. And besides this the trails made
by animals are transformed into cany ons
Of considerable depths by uddep rain
falls. In these canyons, which are in
some cases more than thirty feet deep,
the surface water runs off before
it has time TO percolate the soil.
Trip has made observations on the
amount of evaporation and found tina
on the highlands fully one-haif tn
falling rains run Off without penetrating
into the soil. This experience enpha-
sizes the fact that the ultimate aim Of ,ra-
tionaI forest culture, so far as Its infu-
ence upon agriculture is concerned, is
the increase of the power of the ground
to hold moisture, and thus to prevent the
rapid flowing off Of the precipitated
rain-Science

Highland Superstitions.
Murray's Magazine.


The belief III fairies and brownies, Or
the more playful and fancifal kind of
fairy, seems to belong more TO the Low
lands OF Scotland than the Highlands.
The character of the people was softer,
and the lighter forms of superstitious be-
lief found q more fitting home there than
in the Highlands, where the gloomy end
austere character of the people led them
TO invest the supernatural inhabitants of
their glens and mountains with something
more akin TO their own darker and sterner
natures. Thus the fairies and brownies
of the LoWlands take in the North the
form of warnings, that come in grue some
guise to foretell misfortune and calamity
to the family to whom they belong, and
threatens their patrons. Every great and
powerful family in the North was be-
lieved to have a supernatural warning or
omen which appeared before the death of
any prominent member. It varied il.
most cases, but each family of clan
generally received the same warning be-
fore death as the chief. Very striking
condolences no doubt have occurred, q ute
important enough TO convince 9 highly
SUGGESTIONS people of their infellibiiisy.
Thus among the Mackenzjes the death
candle was always said to appear before
the death Of any leading member of any
branch. large light appeared as some
distance in the sky, sailing slowly until
1t arrived above the place where the per
son whose death it predicted lived, when
it would slowly disappear in brilliant
coruscation of light. In Tullock Castle
q cold hand was always said to be laid on
the face of the person whose death it
foretold. In another family white owl
always appeared when any member was
going to die, and IN another black dog;
while on the west coast of the Highlands
an old woman, commonly called the
"Gruagaoh," appeared to foretell the
death of some important member of the
family to which she specially belonged.
