She was pretty this young mother. Her
beautiful chestnut hair framed a rather
refined face, somewhat pale. with irregu-
laughing eyes. She had the roguish,
self-possessed air OF the Parisenne out
for a holiday, as interchangeable IN pleas
ure as in labor. With a graceful move
ment her two hands rose on level with
her head TO take of her hat. throwing
her fine figure into relief as she bent
backward while the two children, a
somewhat younger clung to her. While
replying to the question OF her husband,
brisk, squat, little fellow, with waxed
mustache, hair brushed back from his
forehead and the gait OF corporal, who
was asking her opinion on the bill OF
fare, she took on the children's hats and
arranged them at the table, and soon,
the whole family being seated, the boy

father; the dinner began with a noise
Of dishes and forks. with laughter and
the Chirping OF children. In nm, with an
air OF noisy merriment that completed
the melancholy of the Professor.
II was not enough that during the
entire day the thought Of his isolation
had pursued and tortured him. 1t was
still necessary that the spectacle OF the
happiness he had so long disdatnei,
he could never henceforward aspire,
should be paraded under his very eyes.
And yet those people were not very
fortunate, 1t only required glance 10
hard, their toll incessant, without hope
OF fortune possible. Whence did they
derive that flne temper, that contented
air, that JOY, N not from mutual love
and the common affection for the little
beings which sprung from them-in u
wurd-from the family life?
Thus was clearly demonstrated to him
the natural law he had disowned. How
could he have taken so long TO compre-
hend that man is not made solely for
the purpose of bG rowing In tomhs and
deciphering puzzles, and that there are
other pleasures In this world besides
adding a name to the incomplete list OF
the kings OF Nineveh or date TO AS
syrian chronology? He saw 4 well now.
The true sense OF life was revealed to
him. AS To the Joys one has lost. there

The lighter these suits are in tone the

Many of Them Protent Against the
New Arbitrage Rule.

The Board Of Governors OF the Stock
Exchange evidently intend to enforce the
recent rule they passed prohibiting arbi-
TRACE business. and r. Is. Whittemore
has constituted himself an inspector to
watch the arbitragers.
When the Sugar racket was at its
height yesterday Mr.. Whittemore
thought he saw Edmund randolph sig

more he would be suspended.
During. the rush one of Mr.. Ran
dolph's clerks called his employer outside
the rail and told him to buy 200 shares.
Mr.. Randolph did so. and II was when
he signalled back word to the clerk that
Mr.. Whittemore caught him.
The two men had wordy battle. and
at the end of the day Mr.. Randolph
complained to President Sturgis, who
smoothed the matter over.
Many of the brokers who RENAME ed
