The People Who Met in One Hallway and
What They Did While They Waited.

1t came on to rain hard and stopped
in hallway to wait; it was in an old
building in q busy downtown street,
says the n. Z. S4D. [ was alone at
first, except for the cosapany that l had
in the blight ef45 sssist rope of AN old
fashioned h6is@zss apparatus, which fell
in a long loop by the wall; the hatch
ways were closed. After l had been
standing there a little spell | heard
footsteps back of me on the stairs; l
looked around and saw two men COM
ing down, carrying some Photographic
apparatus. imagined that they had
been doing some work in the building
and were now going away.
But when they got uuwn into the
hallway and saw how it was raining
they set their things down and waited.
Presently a scissors grinder turned in
from the sidewalk and set his machine
down near the door and leaned himself
against the side of the doorway. A
moment later a newsboy turned into
this hospitable shelter. He was the
last
1t kept on raining. It would let up
a little occasionally, but glance at the
clouds was enough to show that it was
not yst safe 70 venture out. The two
photographers talked together for
time and then they stopped. One of
them got newspaper and began to
read; the other lighted cigarette and
stood there and smoked and looked
out. The scissors grinder read and
smoked, too. He filled his pipe slowly
and lighted it carefully and when it
was well a-going he got out his news
paper.
All this was much too slow for the
newsboy; he had very soon got tired of
waiting and had gone on in the rain;
the rest of US still waited. The reading
photographer turned a fresh page, the
smoker lighted fresh cigarette and
looked at the clouds. The scissors
grinder kept steadily on with his read
ing and looked at the endless process
sion of trucks and wagons in the street
and read the signs on them, many of
them with names that were very famil-
lar and many with names that were en-
tirely new to me of people in all sorts
OF business in all parts of the town.
Pretty soon the rain slackened; the
scissors grinder looked up at the sky
and folded his newspaper and put that
and his pipe in his pockets. Then he
picked up his machine and started; the
two photographers weighed anchor and
started in his wake and l followed
closely. A moment later we were lost
in the passing throng.

Joints and Cartilage.

Why do joints work so easily and
never give us any painP In fresh joint
its appearance in life can be readily
studied In the ball and socket joint
the round end of the bone, as well as
the cup, are covered or lined with a
smooth substance called Cartilage" or
"gristle" kept moist and smooth with
synovia. Cartilage contains no nerves,
and has no feeling; if it had, we should
have pain when we moved. The bones
are kept in place at the joints by very
strong bands or ligaments, in hinge
Joints a number of these bands are
fastened above and below, but in ball
and socket joints they also surround the
joint, forming a cap, in which the joint
moves freely. In disease this smooth
cartilage gets worn away, and the ends
of bone rub together like those of a
skeleton; the pain is great, because the
bones have nerves, though the cartilage
has none. A bone without cartilage is
like decayed tooth with an exposed
nerve. In healthy tooth the nerve is
well covered, and gives no pain, and
in healthy bone the nerves are there,
but they are only felt when the cartil-
age is worn away.-Hospitat (Loradoae.)
There are times when duty and in

'I've often done that myself, said his

He never came back and parties we're
organized at different times to look for
him but without success. The search
was finally given up. The strangest
part of the disappearance is that his
body was not found, until last week
And now to all who pass the spot it
seems strange they had not discovered
1t before. Evidently he lad fallen
from an over-hanging bluff, and his
body was caught in tree with his
head hanging down and badly crushed
