Ths Phenix Of Brooklyn is one of the

A Gold.siue worker.

"This thing Of trying TO crowd big

how that kind of n game used 10 be

'.Old man Applegate lived on the
road between Oregon and California in
those days, and Just for accommodate

ings for such travellers as CHANGED to
travel his way. 1t was an annoy
ing custom with a certain class OF
stock dealers who frequently went
vcr theroad to offer Il $50 slug in pay
ment for u nights entertainment, and
if the change could not be given they
would settle in full next time they
stopped.
"Onc day II fellow whom Uncle APP
plegate had spotted offered a slug in
the usual way, saying he was sorry,
but really that was the smallest coin
he had about him.
"I'm sorry, too replied the host,

house.
"Oh, never mind replied the guest,
I'll hand it to you as come back"
"But maybe I'll never see YOU

""Oh, we'll, in that case I'll just keep

have the change for YOU replied the
old gentleman, and putting the piece

Ventilation,

We have now come to the time OF
year when we shall sit with u win.
dows closed and our doors also, saws
the Ladies' World, and shall conse-
quently feel the loss of that pure air
which we have hitherto admitted
through open doors and windows. Not
only shall we suffer this loss, but we
shall have TO endure the untold evils
that accompany the warmth of stoves
and furnaces.
We can do much, however, to miti-
gate these evils by judicious yentila-
ton of the houses, but it will require
some management and a little study to
accomplish this. The simplest method
of v%entilating room is by opening the
windows from the top and putting it
up from the bottom, allowing the foul
warm air to escape. and pure air to en-
ter. At open fireplace helps greatly
to keep the air pure. If the bedroom
windows are guarded by shades and
blinds one at least may remain open
all night, provided it does not subject
the sleeper to q draught, and the effect
will be highly beneficial. They should
most certainly be done in any apart
AAShe AiSoN0N ~ NoVSNG w AukudCc dS
carbonic-oxides escape from either as
ordinarily manufactured.
Air is sure to become unwholesome
whenever it stagnates long, so that the
best thing n can do is to make it cir
%culate, or at least to set it in motion
outward from the room. and this can
be done, as we have said, by opening
the windows at the top and bottom. II
windows and doors are opposite each
other, open both, if it is only FOR sixty
seconds, and let a strong rush Of cold
air come in; and this will drive the
heated foul air out.
On coming into the room after this
ventilation, no one with any sensibility
can fail to discover the healthful differ
ence between foulness and purity. This
simple act of ventilation should be per-
formed in every sleeping chamber
where lamps have been lighted and
people sitting before retiring. This
thorough air cleansing will be needed
in addition TO opening the sashes and
leaving them'thus with blinds closed
and shades drawn down,

i!sssly that Nat POINTER knew something
Of Erica's flight-perhaps knew where
she was nOw-and he did not seek nor
care to win her back to him; he would
never look on her face, or speak a word
to her again, but it was just to try and
save her from continuing in a life of
sin. Once more the door opened and
closed, and Philip looked up and paused,
and set his teeth hard for an instant.
Great Heaven! what a depth Of degra-
dation he must plough through, even to
do justice.
Nat stood quite silent, his eyes bent
down, a sort of logged resistance of ex-
preston mingling with q half sorrowful
look on brow and lips.
When Philip spoke it was with an alb
solute quietness of tone that told moth
ing to his nearer of the passions refined
in.
"If you a give me the information
! shall ask of you. you need have no fear
in telling me the truth. Did you or do
you know ANYTHING of my wife's flight
For an instant Nat stood silent; he
knew those eyes he feared to meet were
fixed On him, he knew that Philip st.
John had a right to be told of what he,
Nat, had done. He knew lie could
scatter the cloud that had descended
alike on Erica as on her husband. But
he had promised Miss Erica, and he had
also promised Mr.. Arnold. for a price,
to keep silence, and swayed alike by his
unreasoning affection for Miss Erica.

termined to be true to both.

enough to you for that"

furtively. 81 wish l did. know what

steps came close up to the man who
dared brave him, and Nat absolutely
quailed before the flash of those dark
eyes, before the terrible and fierce pas
sion that quivered in the low stern
voice.

instant, biting his lip till the blood
came, and the man, appalled, and cowed,
went out into the storm, and Philip was
once more alone. The crust of ice was
