Why He Could Feel for the Man Who
Had Numbered.
When Brakeman Thompson opened
switch at Kingsbury, Ind, and sent
a Wabash passenger train headlong
against solid line Of loaded freight
cars, the indignant public suggested
all sorts OF punishment for him.
Men who had worked on train crews
were not so bitter. One of the promi-
nent railway officials OF Chicago-a
general passenger agent-took the
trouble to look into Thompson's
record and learned that he had been
one of the most intelligent. compe-
tent and careful men in the employ
OF the company, says the Chicago
Record.
"He has suffered his full penalty
already" said the passenger agent.

switch; threw 1t open, turned my

engineer jump from his place in tn Q

room.

tender tone, that love you as man

love respect comes always.

The next day Parkc IIalton was
much better. and as the days went by
he grew rapidly stronger.
DIR. will spent more time in the
room of his interesting patient than
he had ever been known to do before.
There seemed some subtle attraction
between the two; and as time passed

At last Parke was fully recovered,
and in a few days would be discharged
from the hospital.
One night Kate, the night nurse,
was startled by the sound of faint sob.
bing and stified weeping which seemed
to come from the end of the long cor
ridor near the sleeping roou of DIR.
Will She fastened softly to che spot,
determined to know what was the
matter. This is what she saw:
Parke Halton on his knees at the
door of the doctors room, weeping
bitterly.
Directly, the young man arose to
his feet, and entered the room, for the
physicians room was never locked, but
always ready for hasty summons in
the night
In speechless amazement Kate no.
ticed the young patient steal softly to
the bedside, and STOPPING, press kiss
upon the brow of the sleeping physi-
clan; then, weeping bitterly, steal
away once more.
Out in the corridor the nurse sud-
denly confronted the young man.
Halton fell back with stitled cry.
Explain yourself, SIR" began the
nurse. "Your conduct is rather I'M
usual"
A sudden resolution seemed to come
into the young mans mind.
Come to my ROOM" he said, in a
hurried whisper, land will tell you
all have confession to make!
The next morning when Doctor Will
awoke from his slumbers he found
upon his bed small locket contain
ing the pictured face of a girl. 1t
was the exact counterpart of Parke
Halton. When he left his room he
was met by Kate, who announced that
the young man was gone. She had
found his bed empty that morning,
and sum of money sufficient to more
than cover his expenses at the hospi-
tai lying upon the table. But what
ever the secret confided to Kate she
kept it inviolate. Doctor Wills face
clouded, and troubled look crept
into his eyes. After that, he became
very quiet and taciturn, and alto
gether changed man.
One day he received a summons to
an up. town mansion; its owner lay

and delicately shaded were its tints,
was trimmed with black MORE ribbon
and chiffon changeable like the gown,
with revers of old lace. The entire
waist was of the chiffon, gathered to a
belt. Still another gown was of pale
blue tissue, draped on the hips and
plated full in front. The collar was
of white satin, edged with exquisite
open patterned and wired jet passe-
menterie. The secret of making n
gown from pictured models is to take
here little and there n little, COM
bining all tremendously; for gowns,
like prescriptions of medicine, need to
be prepared after personal diagnosis,
and cannot be made up like overcoats,

guage of the day. And, indeed, New
York is following the long-recognized
authority in modish matters very
closely, and the day may come when
the American metropolis shall WELD
the scepter in originality in dress, as it
now bears the palm for the most
artistic adaptability and realization of
the Partisan ideas. New York women
are the best-dressed women in the
world, according to many authorities,
because of their more delicate and con-
servative taste. The Partisan woman
wears the novelty in all it's crudeness,
The New York woman modifies it and
betters it every time. And it has be-
come quite the custom for modistes in
Gotham, following the Partisan idea,
TO be eager purchasers of first night
seats whenevera new society play is to
be given at one of our leading theaters,
because here, as in Paris, the newest
and most artistic dress ideas are sure
to have their possibilities realized by
the women behind the footlights, whose
one aim in life is to have gowns that
are not stacy, but might be worn in
any drawing room in the town.
Children's dresses always occupy
large space in the fashion chronicle.

little girls are made in the house under

Not to HI, Taste.

British husbands, when their din
ner parties turn out failures. are apt
to grumble ut their wives for the
cooks misdemeanors. but they
abstain from the practical style
OF rebuking practiccd by the
celestials. Recently the Chinese
professor at university gave a ma
tional banquet to fellow professors
and was much put out because tho
cookery was net to his taste. After
u time he got up. bowed soiemnly
and said, go lickee wife," and de-
parted, returning presently. smiling
as blandly as usual, after having ad-
ministered judicious chastiscment to

used his eyes and ears to good ad-

to a reporter the most un1ualified
amazement at the constant wholesale
waste OF valuable material.

seamen call thcm. may well make
something of it il they can Thor

suits in substantial benefit for thcm.
A great many persons como over in
the Storage because they don't care
what their accommodations are so
long as they get good food, and they
are pretty sure OF being able to buy
that from the stewards. or course 1t
isn't the square thing to do, but
what i wondered the most at was the
utter disregard for the ships outfit.
"for instance, steward would
take down the steerage a dozen
dishes and plates OF choice food. in
large bucket. carefully covered, so
the contents would not be seen. or
course the bucket contained silver
forks, spoons, knives. and very often
silver vegetable and desert dishes
and individual chocolate and coffee
pots. When tho food was eaten the
china and silver went back to the
bucket and the whole business was
quietly dropped into the refuse chute
and down into the sea! I've seen as
many as ten buckets. taken down by
the same number OF stewards three
or four times a day throughout a trip,
and in every case tho crockery, sill
verware and bucket went overheard.
You may take my word for it, that
anything Il steward carries below
never gets back to its proper quar-
ters again-not only because of tho
risk OF detection. but because OF the
trouble.

very great. for some OF the officers
