i His condition appeared so serious that
he was sent back decorated with the
cross. During the voyage he had rapid

found that he had been recommended
1 for promotion to the rank of major.
The ladies listened in silence. The

in advance of his former comrades. The
daughter looked closely at the young Of

had returned to an assured future!
He, too, looked critically at the girl.
Could the serious, reflective woman
before him be the frivolous, capricious
girl he had once known? She was a
thousand times more attractive to him
in her new guise. She was all he had
ever dreamed of, and he was filed with
wild delight. Their eyes met, and his
were filled with such alteration that the
girls lids dropped in embarrassment.
When evening came the women arose,
and the officer accompanied them to
their home. They met regularly in the
park on the days that followed.
December passed in an intimacy
daily growing more tender. Still at
times the captain seemed to be more
nervous and worried. One day, losing
his usual self-control, he pressed the
girls arm, which was passed through
his, and the expression of his eyes
made her believe that he was about to
declare his love. He was silent, how
ever, and fell into gloomy meditation.
His agitation increased as the new
year approached. He made frequent
trips to Paris and neglected the ladies'.
They feared they had been deceived as
to his intentions, and could not accoun. |

At the same moment hurried foot
steps were heard in the hall. The doc,
was thrown open, and the one so long
expected entered the room. He smiled
flushed with pleasure. He paused be-
fore the two women. The widow said,
extending her hand:

and said, with loving pride:

taken an interest in him, and begged

OF q marriage with his daughter with

passed that day on the borders OF thu
Swiss lake in the garden of Versailles
watching the carp jump in the sun
and the future looked very dark before
him.
That evening the major took him aside
and said, briefly:
Il have seen the colonel; he was
courtesy itself, and here is his answer:
Your protege has not cent; my daugh-
ter has no dowry; it would be to unite
hunger and thirst He was right; for
get the young lady. If you feel disap-
pointed, console yourself with study
ing military tactics"
The Lieutenant thanked him, but he
did not try to console himself. As Off
GERS were needed to go to Tonquin, he
offered his services. The following
week he embarked at Brest. And while
with bursting heart he was borne
away from France on the heaving waves
OF a stormy sea, the young girl, happy
and thoughtless, danced in the bright
Light, careless of all but her joy.
Two years had passed away. The
general still gave brilliant fetes at his
elegant home, but the young girl who
had formerly turned all the heads was
seen there no more. The colonel of the
One Hundred and Twenty third had
died suddenly just as ne was about to re-
ceive his stars. A monotonous life had
succeeded the gay one led by his wife
and daughter. All the brilliant officers
who had lowered around had disap-
peared with the pleasures and gayety.
The new colonel also had wife and
daughter; these new rulers received all
the attention, while for the old ones was
reserved the distant bow in the streets,
then the sudden passing on.
The widow and her daughter ex-
bitter smile on these occa-
'ions as they continued their walk.
They went into the park to enjoy the
of a fine autumn which gilded
he marble statues and the turning
caves of the great horse chestnuts.
They sat down, and, listening to the
military band seemed to see CLEAN of
heir lost happiness. 1t seemed to them

as if nothing had changed, and as il
they might hear behind them at any
moment the eolonels voice, saying:
Good afternoon, ladies'; to-day the
Twenty-fourth is giving the concert;
its music does not equal ours"
But the shouts of children playing on
the grass near by was the only sound
they heard. The mother, signing, tried
to read the paper through glasses
dimmed with tears, while the daughter
cast longing glance toward her former
admirer, who scarcely knew her now.
She was nearly 25, but her face, refined
by sorrow, was more beautiful than ever
She was like flower refreshed and puri-
fed by a storm. She had lost all that
made her so capricious and disquieting.
Grave and sweet, she seemed to be doing
penance for her past.
One day she saw new face among
the officers who promenaded past, smok-
ing, chatting and laughing. In mo-
ment she was transported to the gen.
erals ballroom, and she saw again her
timid lover motionless in 4 corner, de-
vouring her with his eyes.

A Remarkable Reason.

There is an uptown lady, the owner of
a number of dwellings, who feels that
in one instance at least the bicvcle craze
is going too far. She has a tenant. a
rather shiftless person, who is always
behind in his rent. The landlady has
dealt mildly with the family, and they
have professed to feel grateful. They
owed her three months rent and when
she wrote them rather sharp note
feeling that her good nature was i'm
posed upon-they made profuse prom
ises that they would certainly give her
something on account the very next
rent day. The day came round and
bright and early the daughter of the
tenant came around to the landladv,s
house. But she didn't bring the expect
ed cash. No. she only brought this mes

JAPANESE WHEELS.
A Traveller Tells of the Bicycles in the
Realm of the Mikado.

An American wheelman who has re-
Gently been in Japan says: Heavy
iron bicycles, weighing from forty-tive
to sixty pounds, are used by Il few
of the japanese in some of the larger
cites of the empire, and when the peo-
pie hear them coming in the distance
a general scattering takes place so s,s
to give the rider wide berth, for he
frequently comes into forcible contact
with pedestrians, and sometimes col
lides with the houses, shaking the
himsy structures to their very founda-
tions. At Toxic | became acquainted
with a japanese bicyclist, who occa-
sionally accompanied me on eNcur-
sions to places of interest about the
city. Owing to the fact that the roads
are very narrow and without side
walks he often had the misfortune TO
run down an imprudent spectator, and
both would roll in the mud. Then
victim and rider would get up and
each would profusely apologize to the
other for the mishap. There is Jap

THOUSANDS DIE
From Exposure to Infectious
Disease and Impure Air.
Important Points About 'PurifuG," the
Great DiSinfeCtant
Is. F. Post. |

In these enlightened days of the nine.
tenth century it is an acknowledged
fact that "an ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure" and that ounce
of prevention was never better exempli-
fled than in the use of the great disin-
fectant known as "Purifine." The public
has had many disinfectants brought to
their attention. Some were good, some
were bad, and some were simply indif-
ferent, but none ever yet placed on the
market combined all the many good
qualities of ''Purifine.' In the first place
1t was left to the manufacturers of
"Purifine" to compound disinfectant
and antiseptic that would be odorless, a
most important matter, as users of disin-
fectants well know that the odor of the
disinfectant, especially when in constant
use, becomes sickcning and disagreeable,
oftentimes as much so as the odor or
nell to be killed.
In a word, "Purifine" is odorless. and
It's work, removal, not creating one odor
to cover another. 1t comes in highly
concentrated form, and when diluted
with two parts water there is not the
slightest odor, rendering it suitable for
places where food is kept. In the bath
room, sleeping room or about the house
generally it is indispensable.
Then again it is non-poisonous, an all
important feature, for if used carelessly
by children or servants there are no
harmful results. and it is absolutely safe
to have around the house.
AS sample of its harmlessness it can
even be used in in refrigerators, and, if
accidently spilled no harm is done, and
1t is particularly adapted for this use
The uses for which "Purifine" is used are
almost limitless, and to enumerate them
would fill pages of The Post. For flush
ing sewers, and for cleansing sinks,
drains, barns, urinals, water closets.
floor cloths and the bed clothes from
sickness or infection it is invaluable.
Then again the price is 30 low that it
can be used lavishly, and for hospitals,
asylums, public buildings. hotels, restau-
rants, school rooms, laundries, diaries.
markets, stables, packing houses and
canneries where disinfectant is used in
large quantities, this is a point to be
considered. One gallon is used To bar
rel of water, and for general use one
tablespoonful to pint of water.
"Purifine" is sure preventive against
cholera, la grippe, small pox, diphtheria,
all fevers and contagious diseases.
AS an antiseptic and healer "Purifine"
is invaluble, for it relieves and cures
sore throat, catarrh, stings and bites of
insects, burns and scalds. chilblains, sore
eyes, pimples, and for the bath it is a
delightful adjunct. 1t will instantly
stop any flow of blood, and physicians
will understand its full value from its
principal constituents, bromine and
chlorine. 1t is prepared only by the

THE COLLEGE GIRLS ROW
BOATING MADE A PASTIME AT
WELLESLEY COLLEGE.
Other Institutions Fall Into Line-The
Craft Used and Methods Adopted
Athletic Costumes.

The new woman is coming in evil
dence in acquatics. She is now tigur-
ing in the rowing gig and barge. At
Wellesley college, according to a cor
respondent of Harper's Bazaar, rowing
is the sport which outranks all others.
To be chosen member of one of
the class crews is the highest athletic
honor, if the expression may be used,
which can be bestowed upon a stud
ent. With SO beautiful and accessible
sheet of water as Lake Waban for
their almost exclusive use. it is not to
be wondered at that the girls spend
much of their spare time in boats, but
the degree of scientific excellence to
which they have carried the rowing
itself is marvel. Her plan has since
been initiated at Cornell, the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and one or two other
colleges; but to Miss Hill of Wellesley
belongs the original idea. A new
theory governs the sport as carried
on by the girls. While rowing on the
same principles, with the same stroke
and with the same equipments as the
men of the varsity crews, the idea of
racing has been entirely omitted.
They row for correct form, for physi-
cal benefit and for pleasure-not for
the purpose of outdoing rival crew
in point of speed. Racing is dis
countenanced by those at the head of
the college management, and Miss Hill
herself does not think it serves the
best interests of what she considers
almost a perfect exercise. 1t should
be mentioned, however, that while
praising rowing she is careful to en-
phasize the difference between right
and wrong ways of doing it.
The sliding seats are used by the
Wellesley crews, chiefly to ease the
lower back work and make the finish
less difficult. The rowers are taught
to use the fixed seats at first, but the
thoroughly trained crews always en-
ploy the slides. Without them, Miss
Hill says, she has found that girls are
likely to row too much with their
arms. The striking feature of the
stroke, briefly enumerated are the
catch with the back, the long body
swing, slight slide, and light finish.
The first part of the recovery is quick.
and the latter part slow.
There GRO. in all, $50 girls registered
to take part in the rowing. Twenty
of these from each of the regular col
lege classes, and twenty from the con-
siderable body of students who are
taking Especial" courses. make up two
thirds of the number. The rest are
freshmen, who are not actually on
any crew, but who practice regularly,
and every girl of whom probably has
secret hopes of being some day exalt-
ed to a position in the freshman boat.
Sixteen compose a crew, but as the
boats used are eight-oarcd gigs, crew
always rows in two divisions. A cox
swain and coach for each boat fill
out the twenty for each class. There
is but one captain for the whole crew,
who sometimes rows with one division
and again with the other.
The crews uniforms consist of
white jerseys, thinner than sweaters.
and knickerbockers of only medium
fullness, that they may not be caught
up on the slides.
