At the moment Louise was not struck
with the downright honesty of this con-

provocation; before her somewhat startled
mind there flashed a vision of two stall
Wart men battling fiercely against one
other, and while she felt a glow of eXulta-

her that inspired them, she was consumed
with anxiety to know whether Mr.. Phil

of her power over strong man! 1t is no
wonder that she delights to prove it, to con-
vine" herself that he really is her slave, by
stretching him upon the rack and watching
him writhe without an effort to free himself.
Louise began to feel little sorry for the
doctor. He was certainly as penitent a

 Add a head rest covered with bright high colored gingham, with cushion for the seat and thin down pillow for the back, covered with the same.
 It may also be made to serve further purpose by getting a carpenter to make for it a leaf, that can be secured to the chair, and thus form a continuous sur face with the right arm, as shown by the sketch, making a most convenient table for writing, or for books and pa- pers to rest upon.
 To do this the outside edge of the arm must be sawed to a straight edge, and the leaf attached to it by means of hinges It is secured to a horizontal po- sition by swinging arm, the same as the leaf of a table. It is fastened at one end to the under surface of the arm of the chair and swings out under it. The leaf may be folded down beside the chair when not ill use.
 For holding newspapers, sewing or books, one of the narrow, fiat wicker baskets may be secured to the side of the chair below the seat, or wooden box of the right shape and size could be screwed to the chair and answer the same purpose.
