To him her silence means . yielding
TO his entresties. "You have made me
supremely happy" he murmurs softly,
and steps aside to meet several persons

is Count Tolstegg, Dorothea's husband.

QUICK WlTTEn.


Cesa nseAs Which Have Turned the Deli
cate Sea1o 81 Life nd Death.
A Southern girl anxious to supper
herself. and to make her own in tn,
world. entered the training-school fo
nurses ut Bellevue hospital, New York
She became IN expert nurse, remarlxa
BILE for courage and self-possession.
| One night = patient who had beer
hastily admitted to the wards without
inquiry respecting her mental condi
tion. attempted suicide by throwing
herself from . window. This nurse
by her coolness and quick wit, diverted
her from her purpose and saved hel
life.
The incident made an impression
upon the managers of the school.
When they received an application from
an insane asylum for nurses to be en-
ployed in the scientific care of deranged
patients, she was highly recommended
for the work, and was subsequently
promoted to the responsible position Of
matrOn in one of the largest insane
hospitals in the country.
One OF this nurses experiences with
insane patients disclosed her nerve and
quickness of mind. She WAS attacked
in . ward by powerful woman, who
had taken offense because for miscon-
duct she had been forbidden to 60 with
the other patients to the MONDAY meal.
The nurse. being alone with her. had
intentionally turned her back upon the
patient The infuriatcd woman crept
up, and seizing the little nurse by the
waist, lifted her from her feet and
spun round and round with her like .

The nurse was completely in tho
power Of an uncomfortable lunatic,
whose excitement and frenzy were in
creasing every instant 1t would have
gone hard with her il she had lost her
presence of mind.
What she did while she was whirlin9
In the air was to take . large pin fast
cning the belt of her uniform and
thrust it into the woman's arm. The
assailant, startled by the sudden pain,
relaxed her grip and released her pris-
oner.
Then the nurse faced her, and had
her instantly under control. Looking
her in the eyes. she sternly ordered her
to go to her room and get into bed
The woman. completely cowed, obeyed
like . child.
The same quick Wit enabled . sur
geOn to save the life of hospital pa-
tient who was undergoing . critical
operation.

TOES TURNED IN.

bered By IN Adairsr.
A lady who recently had the good
fortune to meet . distinguished man
and spend half an evening in his COM
pany, was eagerly questioned after
wards by her friends with regard "a
him. Her impressions were highly "a
vorable. She found him brilliant, cour-
teous. kindly and agreeable.
| "And how did he look?s' inquired
one friend at length, after his manners
and cor versation had been fully de.
scribed.
'.Ile is very good-loolsing-even hand.
some," was the reply. Then after q
slight pause she added. pensively, but
] wish wasn't sure that should a.
ways remember him sitting with his
feet planted rather far apart on the
rug. and his toes turned in."
Ills toes turned in!' echoed the
other ladies in dismay.
Turned very much in," replied the
lady who had met him; and it il safe 70
assume that not one of those who heard
her say 80. can ever again think of this
revered literary idol independently of
his toes.
1t is of course ridiculous to be in con-
slant fear of ridicule, and il is con-
temptible to pose for effect Neverthe-
less, If many people realized in what
particular attitudes the memories of
their friends most readily recalled
them, their carriage and outward de-
meanor would Be sensibly improved.
It is = trick of memory to catch and
retain tricks of pose. People who know
us seldom think of us as looking our
best, unless our best is the way we
look every day, but as looking most
natural, most familiar. most character
istic.
II . person is in the habit, when talk.

ries of his friends take in the conscious
ness Of the act like 80 many kodaks. |
Their minds hold in remembrance the
absurd and tridinR peculisrity. which,
in the mans more nsttering picture of |
he never sees at all
IL Is true tn1t 1ttle persOnol tricks
and attitudes sometimes gain . charm
from merely being Characteristic, and
that an absent friend Is often recalled
most sfectionstely in an attitude
whose very swkwardness has become
lear. Nevertheless. il il probable that

prefer 70 be remembered in . position
less natural to him, but more becom-
ng.
The distinguished author who turned
