LEANDER IN A MASK.
BY FTTIE ROGERS

A winter night, as soundless as that of
dead world An Opaque sky, sprinkled
with small, pale stars, and dimly lighted
by dull young moon.
A strip of deserted road, winding
between undulating fields, which were
dotted with black pines and naked syca-
mores.
At turn of the road these fields
sloped downward to the thickly wooded
banks of shallow stream, now frozen,
pulseless, mute.
Not the faintest sigh of a breeze, not
the smallest gurgle from the frost tan
gled creek, not the Hutter of dead leaf
disturbed the almost unearthly silence
of that lonely spot.
ut is more lonely than thought, or
perhaps | am more of a coward; for |
begin to regret not having stayed with
Lucie tonight" Natalie Ewing said un-
easily to herself.
She looked wistfully across the wide,
undulating fields, which showed no sign
of human habitation; vague dread of
possible danger oppressed her senses,
and she urged her pretty, dappled brown
pony to faster pace.
She had spent the afternoon and early
evening with dear girl Estimate, who
was i'll.
1t was getting rather late when she
started for her home four or FIVE miles
distant
But she was familiar with the road
and the idea of being afraid, or of hav
ing any cause for fear, had never occur
red to her.
"You had better stay with me till
morning, Nat. Several people have been
annoyed by tiamps out in your direction
lately. And that Sycamore Hollow is a
wretchedly lonesome spot. | am sure |
shouldn't dare go through there alone
after dark" her friend demonstrated
"Nonsense," said Natalie, putting on
her driving gloves with serene uncon-
Germ. My pony, small though he may
be is fleet enough to carry me away from
danger, if any Knight of the road should
attempt to stop me"
"Well, quite agree with our friend"
interposed an attractive looking young
fellow who stood ready to escort Natalie
20, IL.
Hollow decidedly unsafe after nightfall.
/ And if you will permit me to do so, |
shall be happy 10 drive home with you"
Natalie turned her pretty head with a
quick, surprised movement.
There was CLEAN of mockery in her
large, luminous gray eyes.
"You, Stevie" she cried with incre.
dulity, real or pretended. 81 thought 1t

dolph explained with slight flush on
his manly young face. "To risk life or
limb for the sake of another is very
different thing
ooh, that's it is it," Natalie replied
with the faintest gliding note in her soft,
pretty voice "But never mind, Stevie,
don't think there's any need for you to
risk life or limb on this occasion"
He bowed in silent, courteous submits
sion to her decree; but his flushed face
turned very pale at her railery.

Fruit as a Me dicine.

Very few people are aware of the
medicinal qualities of grapes; but these
they possess. The pulp is nutritious
and the juice contains sugar, tannic
acid, bitartrate of potassium, tartrate of
calcium, common salt and sulphate of
potassium. Without doubt, the woman
who cultivates the habit of eating a
great deal of fruit is the gamer of health
and appearance. The grape fruit, or
shaddock, so called from its discoverer,
Lieutenant Shsddock, or to mention its
soft Chinese name, pumelo, is highly
priced by those who live in malarial
localities. 1t Is a charming rival to
quinine and boneset and is driving
them from the field. She who eats her
grape fruit from a spoon from the nat
ural cup, or relishes Il served as a salad,
may gladden. her heart with the reflect
ion that she Is not only pleasing her pal
ate, but benehtting her health. Like
oranges and lemons, the grape fruit has
great medicinal virtues. II you are of a
bilious temperament, eat grape fruit; If
fever threatens, eat grape fruit, but in
this latter case do so only at the advice
of physician, as there may be certain
tendencies which the grape fruit would
only aggravate. The complaint is often
made that this fruit is extremely bitter
and unpleasant. 1t is only the white
inner rind which is so, and this should
be carefully removed.
