No. but as the broken end was lost in her
hair and he could not find it, she had ner own
way. L don't want you to do it, he said, it's
bad luck But she only laughed.
"Who told you all this?" asked the bug.

dozen times or more"

stitions, you know"

you look at it. But let NE 60 on. She had
the silver pin mended and wore it for hat

the most beautiful pin that was sold that sea-
son. l had Russia leather case lined with
real velvet, and was in the front row in the
show case. Every one admired me- but my
price was too high for most persons. It
would have been for her under some circum-
stances. They weren't going to be married
for a whole year, you know. and she wanted
to establish a precedent for him to follow"
How did you learn that?"

sent the candy that he had promised her to
the house before noon. She said that the
candy had made her ill; that she couldn't go
to the theater with him; that she was half out
of her head; that she wanted all her letters
returned that the engagement had better be
broken since he was so Indifferent. And with
the letter there came a batch of his letters
and six photographs of him. 1 thought at
first that he would do something desperate,
but he didn't. He didn't sleep much, though;
the scent of the flowers made him restless and
he opened the windows"
''Yes, that was the time. l remember the
cold he had in his head the next day."
HE sent back her letters after a while, her
pictures and some of her presents, and he
wrote an indignant letter full of reproaches
and scorn, which he only made believe to

not mlslaid me on the upper shelf of his
bookcase. 1 stayed there month or two be-

me down town one day and put me where

where they get their ideas. Why, we get al
most to like them and they begin to know and

reason am so anxious to have him get over
this foolish trouble"
''If he only could forget her" suggested the
pin, 'all would be right. IF he could oncs
get angry with her he would be in a fair way
to recover
"Good-by," said the bug. as it turned its
legs toward the man; "I'll see you again.
You and must do something to make him
angry with her. Well fix him up all right.
Good-by."
And the many-legged philosopher slid down
the handle of the pirate tub, over its sticky
side and darted across the desk to its coZy

The EditOr'S Scarf Pin

Above the desk where the man sat writing
there rose wall of pigeon-holes filed with
odds and ends in orderly disorder, so that no
one save their owner knew where anything
was. There were scraps OF paper, bits of en-
velopes, unanswered letters, some maga-
zines, parts of pipes, many rolls Of news
papers cut into columns and fractions of col
umns, and collection O. rare and wonderful
contributions which other editors had deemed
unworthy OF publication. In ono corner Of
the topmost apartment was a scarf pin,
fancifully fashioned in the image Of q gro
tesque little japanese bug.
At:he foot of the pigeon-holes which formed
the back OF the desk stood valued paste pot,
whose rakish brush handle gave 1t piratical
air that was not altogether undeserved Up
the side OF this paste pot and over the faith
full shears crawled an office water bug-up
the side and over the bridge of mucilage to
the handle and up the handle to the end.
1t was knowing water bug. 1t had spent
many seasons in this newspaper office. 1t
knew its business and that of many other
creatures as well. 1t had utilized its time. 1t

While travelling to the Pacific coast In
search of health, attention was called, espe-
cially to the cities of Chicago and San Fran
cisco, to the great number of specialists. To
intelligently employ my leisure hours the
study of diseases Of tine throat and lungs
seemed most opportune, as acute bronchitis
and catarrh frequently gave warning Of more
serious trouble to my lungs. OF many
methods oftreatment the only ono that seemed

my general health it did not cure the bron-

acute form inquiries were made for a special

throat, chest, lung. and catarrh Of the mucous
membranes. Through friends / was advised
to consult DR.. Riegel. of this city. The won
derful instruments, some OF them of his own
invention, by which the medicine is atomized
and hroughtto bear directly upon the infiamed

the healing process begins at once. Having
been cured Of catarrh by DR.. Riegel. and my
throat and lungs so greatly benefited, graft

that we have In Washington a specialist on

Decline in the Death Rate.

The decline in the mortality Of the city last
week was equal to about IL per cent, accord
ing to the report issued yesterday by the
health department. There was a correspond
ing decrease in the number of deaths among
children under five years old, as we'll as
among the aged. Although the colored popu-
lation is but one-half that OF the white, yet the
deaths among that race outnumbered the
white by over 25 per cent. Thi. was owing to
the large infant mortality. and may be excep-
ticnal. With the exception of whooping
cough there seems TO be no serious prevalence
of contagious diseases. The general health
of the city remains in excellent state. with no
sign or threat OF approaching epidemic.

Injury to Vehicle.
Archibald u. Bliss has sued B. r. McCaully,
livery stable man, to recover 81, ,15O the value
