He watched her move down the aisle
and enter the drawing room at the other

was now evident. But how could her
image be reflected In the mirror in front

His eye caught quick solution. The
transom over the door Of the drawing

to some mirror ON the outside and thence
into the one over his head.

himself again to contemplate the picture
and scheme to get acquainted.
Now he recognized other people in the

SoIdiers' Indian Hardshlps.


 In land of leeches you should think twice before wading in water. Other wise you may emerge with shaggy GOV. ering of jet black. Something like this has happened to two British warriors in India, Privates Speed and Davis. who, having left Bareilly for days sport and lost their way, were fastened upon by the leeches in the pools which they had to cross barelegged. The two soldiers wandered about hopelessly for nine days Bareilly is near the jungles of Nepaul. the favorite home Of the tiger; but be- fore the nine days were out Davis and Speed would have given year or two of their lives for the sight of an honest wild pig.
 It is 3 marvel that the two did not die of hardship. The heat in upper India in July is simply terrific. Yet the two survived it. exposed to the suns rays during the day. sleeping in the open air at night. Not village did they come across, not a human being, for the whole region was submerged by the yearly floods. They began by catching butter flies. and they finished of by being found nine-tenths dead beside the metals of railway line. The first solid food they had in nine days was two "chupatties. A chupatty is wheaton cake. not un- like Scotch bannock. There's nothing about the restorative pig" but doubt less it came in time.-London News.

Ignoring the teachers salutation, the little darky concentrated into two words all the ill feeling that months of contempt had wrought in her, and toss ing her head indifferently threw at her classmates the single remark:

Yes, thar is Thar's blame sight | wrong" What is it. Jimmy the old man asked. almost affectionately. Why, it's this, an want you to un- devatan' me when say it. If you don't stop blow:n an a-snortin' about lendin' me that money I'll shut off your air. Oh, you needn't try to look like sick kitten.

 "Jest stan thar an take your medi- cine. as l am mind to give it. You have been playin' the hypercrit with us long enough, an me for one ain'I goin to stand it no longer. Don't say word. tell you-don't open your chops. You git about ever cent that's made in this neighborhood, an then when a man wants a little accommodation you go around an blow about it.~~
 Every one gazed at Jim, but not a word was spoken. The violence of Jim's temper was we'll known. No one moved except Ali, and he. taking out his buck horn handle knife. began to cut off a chew of tobacco.
 "Yes," Jim went on, we've been thinkn' all along that you was so harm less when we mout "a knowed that you was snake in the grass. What, you will say somethin', whuther nol By G-d. I'll show you!"
 He snatched the knife out of Ais hand. and. so quickly that wide awake eye could scarcely follow his motion. stabbed the old man.
 Jim sprang through the door and dis appeared in the darkness. They took old Meek from the floor and tcnderly placed him on the bed.
 "Alf." said the old man, "Ive bled on your hand, but couldn't help it, Ali" . '
 The boys were in the back room of the store sitting up with the old man. Sev- eral days had elapsed and physician who had just left thought he might re- cover. He was resting quietly; the boys were playing cards ... ...
 "Gentlemen"-
 Want anything, Meek?" Ali asked.
 ''No. don't want nothin', an above all don't want to interrupt the game. brt jest wanted to tell you that be- ieve that am dyin'."
 "Oh. reckon not" Ali replied, get ting up. but when he reached the bedside the old man was dead.

 ''Who's thar?'' Jim called. opening the door and gazing into the darkness.
 'A1f an the boys," came the reply.

 What's up?' he asked when he came to the gate.
 "Jestice." .-..

 But you shall. Meek is dsad."
 "I understand"

The Muskroot for Cholera.

The Russian government has sent sev- eral physicians to Asia Minor to make experiments in the treatment of cholera with ferula sumbul, or muskroot, a plant which grows in Turkestan and which possesses certain anti-spasmodic properties. It formerly enjoyed quite a reputation in Germany and Russia as remedy for cholera, but has fallen out of use in recent times Even its name is now unknown to most practitioners in those countries, although the plant is still regarded popularly as an efficient diarrhea medicine.

The Woman who Stays Too Long.

If the reckless waster of time were the only sufferer for her thoughtless- ness there would be a certain sense of satisfaction in contemplating the retri- button.
