he said suddenly. II love you, and no one
else. 1t was right that l should tell you.
If you love me, what wrong could be
greater to all three of us than that
should marry Alice? Is an engagement
sacred? Emily, do yOu-do you love me?"
Emily's hands hung limp and helpless
by her side now. She dropped into
chair
God help met she said. For do
The man made a swift motion toward
her, but she sent one look at him from
her miserable eyes that made him pause.
He waited in silence until she spoke again.
Her voice was monotonous and passion
less.
Listen" she said. You say you love
me. 1 have said that 1 love you. You
are man bound in honor to the noblest
woman on earth. l am bound to her by
ties stronger than those of honor. l love
her. She is my friend. ! would rather

Il love YOU" persisted the man.
Did you not once love HERO
NO he protested passionately 81 ad-
mired, esteemed, worshipped her good
ness, butt love you Emily"
Are you quite sure" persisted she.
Try me and see" cried he with the
swift, upward motion of his head, which
meant that he would defy the universe
for her
Very WE'LL said she slowly IF you
love me, do this for me. Make my friend

dared be disloyal to her. Never let her
! dream that you were ever faithless to
her. Marry Alice, if you love me-"
There were protestations and reasoning
But Emily, with firm, set face, persisted
| By and by he arose.
Very WELL" he said 81 think you are
wrong, but because l love you and have
promised to do your bidding l will marry
your friend. And because l love ou-and
because her happiness is dear to you, l
will make her happy. Goodby Emily"
Because love you" he repeated, and
then went away. And Emily, standing
behind the curtains to watch him as he
went, sobbed aloud
MY dear, my dear! But you did not
love me or you could not have done it,
You did not love me!'
Did he love her? ft3 '.'

often prescribe one of the mineral waters
for my patients and have them take it
daily in considerable quantities is simply
to give them sufficient water. 1t is an
error committed by many otherwise SEN
sfble and intelligent persons that drinking
much water interferes with digestion.
One of those persons said to me lately: I
rarely drink swallow of water; a cup of
coffee with my breakfast, a cup of tea or
chocolate with my dinner, that is practi-
cally all the liquid l take, 0his with an
air of conscious rectitude.) To begin with,
tea, coffee. chocolate, or beer wine, and
the like are not substitutes for water,
which is one of the most important of all
substances required for the nourishment
of the body. Don't drain a half pint glass
of iced water just you sit down to eat;
that is palpably injurious; but do have
big glass of water that has been boiled
and cooled brought to you on waking, and
by the time the bath and toilet have been
accomplished and breakfast is to be taken,
/ the water will not be an interfering agent
| About three pints of water a day should
be regularly taken; fully this is needed
| by the system"
The, modern. fashionable bedroom, says
| the New York Times does not tolerate a
! dressing bureau. Chiffonier eheval glass,
| low dressing table leave the bureau rather
| out in the cold. The invention of the bu-
| reau was deemed a very clever combina-
| tion of dressing table and chiffonier at
! great economy of space, and loud were the
| praises that were sung about it. But
! change is the thing always sought and
! now the bureau is said to be stiff cum
| bersome, and not of use proportionate to
| its size. Fashions frown, however is
| not in this case annihilating; there Is no
| evidence that the bureau is going-merely
not staying quite so much as formerly.

I'm the resting places for busy women
which you recently mentioned" writes a
woman to the New York Times, lone of
my most valued refreshment corners was
left out-the churches. Nothing tones me
mentally, brushes away the worries and
stops the buzz of my brain like dropping
into a church and sitting quietly for If
teen minutes. Many churches are open
for some cause or other large part of
the time, some always, like the cathedral,
and the experiment once tried is sure to be
repeated. The COOL still, empty space,
the tempered light, the remoteness from
noise and hustle, the littleness and brief
ness of all life's worries. all these condi-
tions and emotions make up a soothing
and refreshing environment that is more
! restful, at least to me. than any 1 can
| find"
The few lines in the newspapers, says
the New York Times, which report a troll
ley accident, when that accident is the
killing or manning of a child, do not ade-
quateIy convey the anguish inflicted. A
few days ago a little Brooklyn girl was
run over and one of her feet terribly
crushed. Her agonizing screams can
never be forgotten by those who heard
them, for Inconsistencies did not come
quickly, When her mother learned what
had befallen her little daughter the shock
was too great for her reason; she went
into hysterical spasms that lasted hours

dence of the afflicted household got little

the little sufferer were piteous and fire.
quent, and alternated with the mothers
screams and occasional groans of agony
from a strong man, whose paternal soul
was wrung almost beyond endurance.
The motormen, as a rule, are almost as
nervous over the dread of running down
a child as the mothers with children to
be run down. The wife of a motorman is
authority for the statement that for
weeks after an accident by which her
