The foreman of one of the largest
barber shops in New York is authority
for the statement that the number of
men who part their hair in the middle
is increasing every day. The fashion
has grown. according to this expert in
the matter of dressing hair. SO rapidly
that it would not be out of the way TO
say that fully half the men who form
erly derided this once much-condemned
fashion are gradually getting around
to it. They begin" said the barber
yesterday, by parting the hair a little
higher mp on the head by degrees until
they finally get it exactly in the center.
| remember very well when it was a
rare thing for a man to part his hair
directly over the nose. but all of the
contempt and fun which such a pro-
ceeding evoked are now replaced by
indifference as far as the public is con-
cerned. Twenty years ago a politician
who parted his hair in the middle
courted disaster al the polls. Now no
end OF statesmen. prominent, or other
wise. wear their hair in a dandified
fashion. aud il does not even call forth
q remark. The only thing that the

Had Resn Given the Rush"

During the recent visit of a delega-
ton Of members of the Legislature and
invited guests to Hot Springs there
occurred an episode that is illustrative
Of the haste of some men to perform an
action without asking why or where
fore. 1t 10 a ~well-known fact that
when it rains in the Hot Springs valley
it comes down by the bucketful. Win
dows aud doors must be closed ut
nee, else carpets and floors will be
soaked through aud through. 1t came
to pass that Hon. John j.. O'Dowd and
Thomas j. Cogan were given the same
apartment, occupying beds at either
side Of the room.
Late n night a heavy rain came
up. and the noise of the storm awak-
ened Cogan, who discovered that the
windows were wide open. Sitting up
in bed he shrieked to 0Dowd. Start
ing from a sound sleep that young
man asked:
Huh! What's the matterp"
Get up and close the windows.
quick! It's raining! Hurry up!n
With a bound O'Dowd sprang to the
floor, aud, after a struggle, in which
his night-shirt was soaked and his feet
wet he did that which he was told.
Returning to his couch. the legislator
carefully tucked himself beneath the
coyerlids. A silence of two minutes
passed, and then it was broken by
ODowd, who sat up, aud, in an in
jured tone, said:
Say, Cogan, what was the matter
with you getting up and shutting those
windows?n
He had been given the rush." and
it took him a long, long while to tum-

that IL was impossible to get her to the

CHAPTER XVI.
IN THE NIGHT.

II prayer and medicine and careful
nursing could have helped Mary back
to health, she would not have remained
so long in danger after the crisis Of
the fever was passed; but her condition
took a shape which bafied DIR. Hyde
and puzzled the physician he had before
consulted.
There are points at which the science
of our profession stops" he said, land
new combinations of every disease are
continually appearing, but l have never
seen anything like this. The pulmonic
symptoms would not account for it.
The whole system is affected and seems
to be sinking of gradual and complete
exhaustion"
Would it be the shock of her baby's
illness, following so, comparatively,
soon after her husbands death?" Mr..
Barker inquired. The consultation took
place in his room, and Mr.. Barker sat
there deeply interested
"Well, it might be-" the physician as
sented, with manifest reluctance; "but
/ hardly think 80. What was her gen.
eral health before this?"
Unusually good, l should say" said
George.
Would the reason exist, then, In
some earlier cause--to put it plainly,
privation in the way Of food and ex-
posture to the weather when she was a
child or in her early ~girlhood? Children
are frequently neglected, not so much
for want of means as for want of
thought; they are sent to low-priced
schools or fed at home on the allowance
system, and either would be fatal to q
delicate constitution, though the result
might not show at the time or for some
years afterwards"
George, ''and they struggled hard for a
livelihood. When he was i'll, she was,
I know, out in all weathers, and she did
a great deal of his work at the Museum,
but that is years ago."
mo matter .nw many years." the
physician said, shaking his head. There
is no doubt the mischief was done then.
Want of proper nourishment at the prop
er time, exposure to the weather in IN
suitable clothing, and the cramped posi-
ton she would have to assume at . desk
or writingtable would plant the seeds Of
weakness; and though she might grow
strong apparently, a trying illness such
as she has gone through would be q
crucial test of the ex6ent Of the mis-
chief done. Still"-and he shook his
head again-"Ia am not satisfied. IL she
had q negligent nurse, now; but Mrs.
Allenby is the most perfect mistress Of
her art / eve saw"
And has been most devoted" said
George. wherever the fault may be,
1t Is not In the nursing"
The physician, too. was sure of that,
and took his leave implying rather by
his manner than his words how little
hope he could give their anxious hearts.
And then some inexplicable change
took place in Mary; she would rally
one day only to sink lower the next;
and finally she became almost uncon-
scious, though keenly alive to the slight
est sound. They had to keep her very
quiet, 20 quiet that Sensi, who could
