be a gentle, sweet.patured man.

But JARVIS dld not tread the down.
ward path unaided. With all her tact
and self composure, it angered Estelle
Morris that the old devoted lover, the
humble suppliant of past days, should
pass her with careless Indifference.
Without deliberate thought Of the
mischief she might do, she felt that
she must teach him how dangerous it
is to forget woman. Morning after
morning she would meet him, Ostensi-
bly, to inquire after the sick man, but
the tones of her voice We're full Of al
Turing harmony, and her eyes seemed
to pray for pardon. although her lips
were silent. Each day Jarvis quilted
the house more hopelessly miserable
more degraded in his own sight, yet
eagerly longing for the hour Of return,
the fresh torture of her presence, the
misery of her welcoming smile.
1T is all over, Miss Morris, and
safely, trust, said the famous sur
aeon, as he hurried down stairs. "That
young DR.. Jarvis helped me wonder
fullv. I prophesv that he will make
his mari, am ouite content to leave
the case in his hands. Unless there
is more heart trouble than we think,
Mr., Morton will rally. and be a hap
Nv man vet" he added with chiyal-
ric bow,
Estelle thanked him profu-ely, and
stood listening in the hall until the
sonpd Of his carriage wheels died away.
Then she swiftly gHded up the long
stairway. In small ante-room, next
to tbe sick chamber, she found the nurse
and the doctor.
Jarvis was dropping some liquid IN
70 GLASS. and started at her entrance.
In his nervous manner and white face
were pIajpIv visible the strain and ex-
citamant Of the great surgical crisis he
had inst witnessed. His hand trem-
bIed, He was horribly conscious of
her presence.
She stood bv the portiere, her slen-
dor fonra outlined AGAINST the somber

The woman softly slipped away,
and tba two faced each other alone
Wbito and boggard Jarvis gazed at

"Harrv, she said, "for the sake Of

He sprano from his chair the tight.

What do you mean ?" he asked,
coming closer to Estelle.
81 only want to be friends once
more, she murmured.
But her white fingers had pulled
the flood gates too far apart. Jarvis
capobt her in his arms and clasred
her almost savagely. She pushed him
angriIy from her; yet she listened to
his pleading.
"Do YOU care for this old man? Is
the old love dead? Sweetheart, listen
to me. he said passionateIy.
How can listen to YOU, she an

I cannot bear to have you hate me
Indeed, it breaks my heart. You viii

A Mystery That Scientists Have Not 70,

A Mystery That Scientists Have Not Yot
Been Able to Solve.
Naturalists long ago studied the COM
| position of the gas contained in the
swimming bladder of fishes and discov-
| cred that it consists of the principal
constituents of the air-namely, oxygen,
| nitrogen and carbonic acid But these
constituents are not mingled in the fish s.
balloon i'll the same proportions as thew
AFRO i'll the atmosphere, and besides their
proportions do not remain always the
same in the fish. Sometimes tho bladder
contains hardly any oxygen; at others
oxygen constitutes nine-tenths of the
whole contents.
The variation in the quantity of oxy-
gen is somewhat mysterious, and nat
uralists have offered several different
suggestions as to the cause Of it. Some
think the fish may be able to control the
quantity of oxygen in its bladder by its
own will Blot, n distinguished French
naturalist, thought he had solved the
problem by discovering that tho proper
ton of oxygen was larger III fish that
lived at great depths and smaller in
those that lived near the surface of the
sea.
But quite recently new observations
made from the Prince of Monaco's yacht,
Princess Alice, seem to prove that Blot
was mistaken and that the deep dwell
ing fish carry no more oxygen i'll proper
ton than do those living in shallow wa
ter Some of the fish whose swimming
bladders were examined by tho natural
lists on tho Princess Alice came from n
depth of no less than mile
They were compared with fish which
seldom descend below 200 feet in depth
and with others which prefer depth of
about 500 or GOO feet, and all had near
ly the same proportion of oxygen to aid
them in swimming
The variations mentioned above seem
therefore to depend upon some other
cause than the depth of the fish's dwell
ing place.
1t is these unsettled questions that of
fer to young naturalists some of their
most brilliant opportunities for distinc-
ton. 1t is great mistake to suppose
that there does not remain plenty of
room for discovery in science. " outh's

1T has been a matter of much
surprise and excited no little COM
ment among democrats of the
Northwest that the st. Paul Globe,
usually moulder Of opinion in
the Dakotas, has been so slow and
backward in catching the tide Of
public sentiment on the financial
question. The reasons however
are few and plain. It is paying in
terest on a large gold mortgage, it
is owned and controlled by gold
bugs, who in turn are owned and
controlled by gold bugs, and that
all the surrounding influence of
the editorial room are of gold
bug nature, SO 1t is not much to be
wondered at that it's editorials are
somewhat buggy on finance
for the Globe.

TRTUOUB By LAW.

Whenever Legislation attempts to
restrict or prevent any particular
form of popular vice, some one of
our contemporaries is sure to cry
out against making men good by
law. Much caustic wit and many
spacious arguments are used to cast
ridicule upon all laws affecting the
conduct of men, but not touching
the interests of property directly.
The wealth of men is much more
precious than their characters.
No sensible man thinks for a
moment that virtue can be produced
by law. There is difference be-
tween right action and righteous
action. The former is in accord
with business, social or moral law.
The latter spring from correct
motive. If a man only awaits for
an opportunity to steal without be-
ing detected he is a thief. If the
opportunity never comes he is still a
thief until his inclination changes.
OF the moral attitude human law
can say nothing, but it may forbid
the outward expression of a thiev-
ing propensity. Human law can
not prevent a man from hating his
nelghbor, but it may forbid him to
beat out his nsighbor's brains with a
club. 1t may also forbid under
penalty, any conduct prejudicial to
the common welfare of the present
and the good citizenship of the fu-
ture. In oil this there il no attempt
to create "virtue by statute" and it is
shame fof the press to use its
power to cIsate or disseminate false
impressions upon matters of vital
interest toisll.-Plaindsaler.
