"You must be very quiet" he said,
gently, though the charge seemed un-
necessary in greeting the almost stony
figure that awaited him. "Sleep must
come within an hour, or death or hope
less insanity will result; but go to him,
look and speak quietly and naturally,
and if it is you he is dying for "a shud-
der ran through the girD we may save
him yet"
The girl rose and went to the glass.
''Look and speak naturally" Even in
that hour of anguish she wondered
if the face there was hers. He
would not know those pinched
cheeks, those staring eyes and bloodless
lips. She stood moment biting her
lips, rubbed her cheeks and then smiled
at the glass. That wonderful thing, a
womans love, had triumphed over nature,
and with a smiling face she could meet
Death himself, if smiles would help her
in her desperate endeavor to rescue her
beloved from his grasp.
The doctor led the way to the sick
room, opened the door and stood aside
/
instant as she caught sight of the pitiful,
wasted form extended before her; but
again Love triumphed, and swiftly adj
vancing to his bedside, she bent above
the wistful eyes and said, clearly and
softly:
Love, did you call mel"
For a moment the face looking into
hers retained the eager, searching look
it had worn for days; then it died away,
and one of perfect content filed its
place.
"Bertha!" the pinched lips tried to
say.

ing her cool lips on his; "and now, dar-
ling, shut your eyes. will put my
cheek against yours, and we will rest. "
Like a tired child, he obeyed her,
nesting his head on the cool, soft arm
she slipped under it, while the peachy
cheek that lay on his seemed to possess
an almost magic power.
''He is saved !" the doctor murmured
to the happy, bewildered mother and so
it proved, for Frank Hepburn awoke-

When Mr.. Wade returned to the office,
he found Weaver had drawn his pay and

hour, >" Mr.. Wade said, while relating
the circumstance for the hundredth time,
at the Hepburn Wiley wedding, two
months later. "What kind of heart
must it be that would try to separate
such a couple as that"
And he glanced with almost fatherly
pride at the handsome pair who were
standing under a floral arch, receiving
the congratulations their friends were
showering upon them.
"Bless my heartl" he added, softly;
"surely the angels themselves must smile
on such wonderful love as theirs. -

Petting a Sick Child.

The mother at the sick bed of her young
child is being quite often as difficult to
manage as her child, all the instructive
maternity is up in arms. Deep in the
heart of many mothers there is an un-
confessed and half-smothered sense of
wrath at the attack which sickness has
made on her dear one. Then nothing is
too much to give; no sacrifice of herself
or others too great to grant or demand.
The irritability and feebleness of con-
valescence make claims upon her love of
self-sacrifce, aud her prodigality of ten
derness as positive, and yet more bane-
full
That in most cases she may and does
60 too far, and loses for her child what is
hard to recover in health, is thing likely
enough, yet to talk to her at such time
of the wrong she does the child is almost
to insult her. Nevertheless, the unwis-
dom of a course Of reckless yielding to a
child's whims is plain enough, for if the
little one be long ill or weak, it learns
with sad swiftness TO exact more and
more, and to yield less and less, so that
it becomes increasingly hard TO do for it
the many little unpleasant things which
sickness demands. Character comes
strongly out in the maladies of the child,
as it does even less distinctly in the sick
ness Of the adult The spoiled, over in
dulged child is doubly unmanageablo
invalid, and when in illness the foolish
petting Of the mother continues, the doc
tor, at least, is to be pitied. doctor ana

Last January she suffered acutely and her

THE AVERAGE MAN.

His face had the grim look of granite,
As wrinkled and Drowned with the sun
As the coat on his narrow shoulders
And his hands showed the work he hao
done
For his wife and the babe on her bosom:
Yet he smiled through his pallor and tan
Inpatient, sad way, asif saying: =

Nor a General, decked with a crown;
I'm only badly-paid servant
For them set above me. pm down,

Every one likes his cup of breakfast
coffee or his cup of after dinner coffee,
but it is doubtful if any one would feel
particularly pleased if he knew that
stones had been ground up with berries.
Health Inspector Putnam, of Elizabeth,
N. j., has learned that in a store in that
place coffee has been sold thus "adulter-
ated." He found an ounce of stones in
a pound of coffee. He notified the
manager that he would close his bust
ness unless the practice is stopped.

King of the Gypsies.

A modest brick house, standing little
way back from the street, in a suburb of
the city of Dayton, Ohio, is the property
and for part of the year the home of
gypsy of wide repute, the heir apparent
to a throne in Little Egypt; and here,
and hereabouts, is the rendezvous of a
numerous band OF tribe. This settle
ment is widely known as the home of
some of the richest and most influential
families of gypsydom, among them the
Stanleys, of which the present head,
Levi, is called the King. This Levi
Stanley is a short, thick-setman of some
thing over seventy years; he is still
strong and active, with a ruddy cheek
and bright eye. Much of his time is
passed with the travelling parties, while
his eldest son, Levi, Jr., "A stalwart,
handsome man of fifty, assumes much of
the active direction OF affairs, looking
after property, etc.
Lying scattered about to the north of
Dayton are many fine farms owned by
them. AT present most of the farms are
in the hands of tenants, for however near
the gypsy may be to the primeval man,
he has not yet developed strong liking
for the labor of the primeval occupation.
The travelling and camping parties are
the most interesting and picturesque
features of the gypsy life. These usual
ly consist of a single family, the term
family meaning the whole blood connec-
ton. 1t may comprise one or dozen
wagons and from three to four to nearly
half hundred people. They make long
or short journeys, as directed by the
King, stopping at each place as long as
the state of the horse aud palmistry trade
warrants. - CHICAGO Herald

THE EASY ROAD.

By the road of "By-and-By"
Stretching on forever,
One who travels comes at last
To the house of 'Never~
Very tall, and very high,
Iron barred securely,
Those who enter find themselves
Guarded very surely!
"By-and-By" IS an easy road;
Through soft fields and moses,
No high hills, no sandy soil,
Anywhere it crosses.
If hard places come between,
Round them it goes winding,
Very slowly leading on,
Smoothest travel finding!
Looking on ahead, one sees
But a soft mist showing,
While on either side the scene
Ever fair is growing.
But there comesan end, some day,
Where one sees forever,
Dark and grim the iron gates

Four range-finders of Lieutenant Fiske's
invention are about to be put on the
new cruiser Baltimore. The instruments
will indicate the distance of a ship or
other object several miles away to
within few feet. This invention
has practically disposed of the difficulty
of ascertaining the distances of objects at
sea, and is an enormous advance on any
scientific mechanism known to Eu-
ropean nations.
