his attention. He sat down Immediately
TO pen his regrets and request pardon.
AS he prepared to put his pen on the paper
his eye casually fell on a newspaper that
lay upon the table, and he read this para
graph in the local news:
1.-THE engagement Of Miss Annie Morse to
Mr.. George Dascar is announced. The we'd

So he did not send his note. Neither
could he make up his mind to see Annie,
knowing her to bs another's; that other,
too, Dascar, whom for some reason he had
always instinctively despised. Now he
doubly despised him for good reason.
The wind and rain of March gave way to
the more temperate weather of succeeding

TREATMENT or BALONESS
Diseases That Are Frequently Followed
by Loss of flair.


by Loss OF Hair.
The lifetime of each individual hair
is from two to six years. At the end
of that time the hair falls out, and is
at once replaced by another which
grows from the same root-shcath.
In healthy scalp this process con-
tinues indefinitely; but in certain dis
eases the life-history of the hair is not
so long, and the hairs die and fall out
before their full length is reached.
The next generation may have still
less vitality. and the same process
may continue until there is left an
area covered with stunted growth of
poorly developed hairs. Later, even
these may fall out, leaving a patch en-
tirely bald, or covered with fine,
downy growth This condition
occurs more frequently in women than
in men, and often follows exhausting
diseases, such as scrofula, ieyers and
nervous exhaustion.
In ordinary badness the history is
entirely different. Here, the fully
grown hairs drop out and are replaced
at once by the downy ones. and when
these disappear, smooth, shining
surface of skin is left. In this case
there is an atrophy of the hair bulbs,
and consequently tho hair can never
be restored. In the former case the
trouble is due to deficient nutrition,
and il this defect can be remedied the
hair will grow again.
Certain diseases, especially those
accompanied with high temperature,
are usually followed by moro or less
complete loss of hair Typhoid fever
presents a very notable example of
such an effect. In some forms of neu-
ralgia, also, there is badness along
the course of the affected nerve.
A very curious phenomenon is the
falling of the hair in small, isolated,
round or oval patches, which are apt
to be at the back of the head. They
are small at first but gradually in
crease in size away from the center.
Several patches may thus run to-
gether and cause badness of nearly
the entire scalp.
This condition occurs in both sexes,
and especially in the young. Some
times there is itching and tenderness
in the spot, but in other cases there is
no local symptom to give warning of
the approach of the disease. The
cause of this affection is not surely
known, but very likely it is due to some
nervous disturbance.
1t is comforting to know that with
the exception of the badness of old
age, the loss of the hair may be only
temporary, and that with restoration
to health and the removal OF the par
ticular cause, the hairs will grow
again.
A general course of TONES, with
shampooing aud proper applications,
will give good results. although it i:
sometimes months before cure is es.

Arthur Denver, left alone, slipped his

softly part of tune in an absent-minded
way, and stepped out of the light room
into the darkness of the storm.

blinded him. but he soon saw the dun

dormitory, and discerned before him the

il the wind could have taken cogn zance Of
the face it beat against, it would have per-
ceived that the mind was far away and was
noticing neither the weather nor the low

good-natured peal of laughter and a chatter
of horses hoofs announced the arrival of
