He rode probably an hour, meeting no one,
seeing no human habitation and hearing no
sound Of human life, The track, little trav-
eled, became more and more indistinct and
ended suddenly at the gate OF a farm yard.
A low-roofed house stood back in its yard,
sheltered by some noble beeches, its porch
overrun with vines, behind which sat

TWAS an unexpected sight in that locality,
the popular taste for art not having pro-
gressed beyond the lithograph and plaster
ofparis image. There was something In the
air and attire of tho artist which showed
that she was not Indigenous. Upon the flimsy
pretext OF asking for drink, he dismounted,
tied his horse to the fence and walked up
to the steps. As he approached he perceived
that the curves of her check and chin were
perfect, and that her bright brown hair was
of silken tincness.
She was absorbed in her study--a cluster
| of thstles which were loosely arranged In
an earthen Jug on a table in front Of her.
She started as the gravel crunched under
his heel and turning looked at him ques-
tioningly. He instantly decided that her
eyes were the most wonderful that he had
ever seen; they were large and grey, with
straight brows and long lashes, much darker
than hCr hair. no ovnra al opa of in
tense melancholy.
She rose at once when he asked for the
water, brought it and set the glass upon the
table when he had drank then, picking UP
her palette resumed her work without in
viting him to come in. 1t was evidently an
inhospitable dismissal, but he was not to be
so easily rebuffed.
"Mrs. Allen is not at home," she ex-
planned, as If to excuse herself, seeing that
he hesitated. "The family have gone to
Grandon for the day, and they will not re-
turn until late in the evening"
"Then you do not live here2m he asked,
aimlessly, intent upon holding his ground
"No," she said, smiling slightly. 81 am
that obnoxious persona summer boarder."
1--WE belong to the same class, then, and
with sympathics and instincts in common,
the relations between us should be friendly"
She bowed affirmatively and, thus encour-
aged, he asked permission to look at her
work, which she granted with some reluct-
ance.
Unfinished as it was, it gave evidence of
merit of high order. He watched her
slender fingers manipulating the brushes,
and observed, somewhat irrelevantly, that
'to those who possessed genuine taste for
it, painting must be very delightful occu-
patton" GAS an occupation it is deli ightful;

tinued:

always been poorly rewarded in the West,
a state of affairs that is growing more and
more discouraging, now that every body is
an amateur more or less depraved."
Strangford laughed at the cynical little
speech and the soft, pensive tone in which it
was uttered. She had perceived that his ap-
pearance and manner were unquestionably
those of q gentleman and, finally relenting,
pointed to chair and asked him to be
seated.
He endeavored not to accept the coveted
| invitation with too much alacrity, and drew
| the chair forward with precision, where he
could study her face and her graceful poses
without appearing to do so.
'This is lovely place." he remarked,
| looking out upon the stretches of emerald
fields and the cool dusly vistas of the ad-

''that it is becoming fashionable to profess
i love for nature which few people really
feel. There are thousands who live in the
country who are ignorant of the names of
plants, birds and even trees that they have
| seen ever since they were born"
| ''That is true enough" she replied, ''and
| the summer exodus of city people, on the
other hand, is only in obedience to the law
of self-preservation. They must get away
from heated walls and pavements-those
who can--and they take refuge in the cool
places that are to be found here, in the
mountains or by the seashore. They come
because they must, and not because all this
means any thing to them. think the gift
of appreciating nature must be born in one,
like the real love for books, or pictures or
music. 1t can not be created, although
latent sparks are sometimes famed into
rather cheerful flame"
Her reserve had gradually worn away and
she was by this time, If not cordial, at least
Hospitality gracious. Their conversation
presently became less abstract and after
that mysterious and unexplainable manner
of strangers in strange land, they began
exchanging personalities.
Strangford handed her his card relieve d
that she showed no apprehension when she
learned that he lived in Chicago, and he ex-
planned that the country for miles around
Grandon used to be familiar to him-every
inch of it-when he was boy.
In return she told him that her name was
Margaret Wyatt, that she was teacher of
drawing and painting in girls boarding
school in the South. Her homo had been,
formerly, in st. Louis. She had come North
to study and rest and finish q few orders at
her leisure.
Just at this juncture two figures came
suddenly around the cor ner Of the house

bellevue knows not pus." is the
proud boast of the great hospital in
New York City. Perhaps this is not
literally true, but it is nearly so, and
it is made possible by the most re-
markable system of precaution that
can we'll be imagined. 1t is almost
true that Bellevue is scrubbed with
antiseptics. The floors are sprayed
with such preparations, surgeons and
attendants wash to the elbows in anti
septics when an operation is TO be per-
formed, and instruments are kept for
hours in an antiseptic bath.
Should an instrument be dropped on
the floor it is kicked from the room and
another from the antiseptic bath is
used in its place. The towels OF the
hospital are washed in antiseptics and
kept from the air, lest germs of disease
reach them. When brought out for
use they are sprayed in antiseptics,
and when wound is bound the towels
are piled on several inches thick, that
germs from the air may be Intercepted.
A mangled hand is scrubbed with an
tiseptics and bound with sprayed ban
dages.
Operations that were scarcely known
q few years ago are performed almost
weekly at Bellevue. A Western phy-
sician who spends q short time each
year studying his profession in the
hospitals of New York, says that he
finds at each visit some operation that
was not attempted before. He secs
the progress of surgery here with as
tonishment. Though he may have
read in medical journals of this or that
new operation, the sight of it comes to
him like revelation.
There is popular belief that Amer.
lea is far behind the old world in sur
gerry, but Il resident physician of for
eign birth declares that no country
performs daring and successful opera
tions with the frequency with which
they are performed here. Tho Ameri-
can surgeon, when difficult operation
Is TO be performed, often prccedes it by
similar operation upon dead sub
sect. So does the French surgeon, but
the latter often approaches the living
subject with nervousness, while the
American surgeon is rs cool In the one
case as the other. The same physician
owns that Germany does many won
derfnl things in surgery, and thinks
the study of her progress highly val
uable.-M Y. Telegram.

will respect my wish-no-not my wishes
but the inexorable destiny that stands be-

strangford did not reply his brain was in
whirl, but in all his bewilderment he
clung to the hope, or rather to the firm be-
lief, that he had the strength and patience
to finally overcome any other obstacle, or to
contend triumphantly with any difficulty
that might separate them for time.
He passed sleepless night, and in a state
of feverish uncertainty and indecision, the
morning wore away.
That he should submissively let her go
beyond all recall, or beyond reach of his aid,
should she ever need 1t, was impossible, so
Notwithstanding her request, repeated many
times, he determined to see her once more.
AS he halted again to let his horse drink
at the wayside spring, his glance wandered
over the diverging roads-one winding UP
the hillside, the other disappearing behind
the willows that fringed the bank of the
creek, and he recalled the day when he had
been impelled by his good or evil genius to
choose between them.
The few weeks had effected little change
in the landscape. That afternoon and this
were strangely alike, and he felt, for mo.
ment, as If he had returned, empty handed,
to the starting point of some futile journey.
The same gray clouds yelled the sky;
there was the same hint of approaching
frost in the chilly air; he heard the same
sounds-the whirr of the grasshoppers, tho
chirping of the crickcts in the grass, the
barking Of dogs and the lowing of COWS from
distant farms.
But there had been, within his own soul,
tremendous and abiding change, and,

perlence, ltS rlCn IrulUlOn, OF une uCartn ana
bitterness of denial q new life was before
him.
He halted at the Aliens gate, his fleeting
discouragement succeeded by fresh hope
and renewed determination inspired by the
consciousness of being again in Margaret's
presence. He felt rather than saw that she
was in her old place behind the vines. At
the same moment he caught the penetrating
odor of cigar. Then he saw a man sitting
beside her, tilted back in his chair. His

feet, encased in embroidered slippers, rested
on the railing. A gay smoking cap and
gaudy dressing gown were conspicuous
features of his attire. He might have been
handsome once, but his face now was
stolid and sensual. A bristling black NOUS
tache did not conceal his coarse mouth, and
he surveyed Strangford from under the
thick lids of his half-closed, blood-shot eyes,
with undisguised insolence. He removed
the cigar, held it between the stubby fingers
of his rough, red hand, and without chang
ing his attitude waited for Strangford to
make known his business. Margaret glided
forward like some wan, unhappy ghost, and
said, as she extended her hand:
'Mr. 7trangford, this is my husband"
