"'St. Elmo" he unused; that's healthy,

she's putting the book away; this must
be her stopping-place."
The train was slowing into Tregar-
then, and Ringbrand got his luggage
ready for n strategic pursuit. 1t was
quite dark by this time, and he did not
mean to lose sight of her until he was
quite sure of her destination. When
the train stopped she tripped lightly up
the aisle, and Ringbrand followed,
reaching the car door in time to see the
conductor help her down the steps; but
when he attempted to get off, the man
stopped him.
Hold on" he exclaimed; this amt

yet
''That's all right. | want to stop
here. I've changed my mind" pro-
tested Ringband, trying TO get past
him.

much of your money"
Hang your fare! | don't want it,
Let me get Off,
"All right, cap'n; jest as you say"
replied the over-Zealous conductor,
swinging Riugbrand's valise to the
platform. There you are, right side
up with care"
AS he had feared, the slight delay lost
him his opportunity; when his glance
searched the small platform. his travel
ing companion had disappeared, and he
was not the man to make hap-hazard
inquiries about her of the struggling
loungers at the station. When the train
had departed, he saw the glare of an
iron furnace short diiNAnce farther
up the track, and the twfnkling lights
of a town on the hillside above the sta
tion. While he was wondering if there
was hotel, a decrepit old negro hob
bled up TO him, hat in hand.
"Cyar' yo' baggage up to de hotel
sab? Yes, sab; tank yo', sab. Right

Got a good hotel here, uncle?" in
quired Ringbrand, as they toiled up the
steep hillside.

he's gwine to Washin'ton, fo' de wah."
Ringbrand had not been long enough
in east Tennessee to know that every
hostelry within 100 miles of the
crossing of the Clinch river made a
similar claim, but the conceit struck
him as being a quaint one, and it &C.
CURED to him that the ancient negro
was probably an old resident and there

inquired, nonchalantly, hazarling a
guess at the name in the hope that his
guide would correct him.
"Who, me? No, sab; thank yo', sab.
l doesn't know any lady o. dat name,
sab. Didn't see no lady git off de train;

That graphing hook having come up
empty, Ringbrand was compelled to
await further Developments; and as he
smoked his after-supper cigar in the
dingy little Office of the hotel, he tried
to convince himself that the present ad-
venture was only another example of

Gladness Comes

Wv transient nature of the many phys

forts-gentle efforts-pleasantef efforts

the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not dine to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated eondi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which il acts IL is therefore

ITo BE Continued
The PaceThat Kills.

every time l come to the United

don, England, Il find fresh cause for as
constituent in the marvellous energy of
the Yankee nation. Ii seems to me that
the people work on this side for the
sake of work, they appear to regard il
not as n means TO an end, but the end
itself. This universal rush and hurry
impresses itself very forcibly on Eu-
ropeans. Some years age was visit
ing n friend in Russia, which is a very
quiet country indeed, and, the converse
ton turning on London, some one re-
marked upon the unceasing activity
and press in the British capital, and how
the people hurried along the street dur
ing the busy hours of the day. An old
Russian thereupon, with a grave shake
of his head. observed that he had been in
London once, and that nearly all its cit
liens were mad. | wonder what this
old gentleman would have thought il he
had ever made n pilgrimage to Chicago?
Now, it is questionable in my mind
whether this traffic pace is healthy
thing for a people. Isn't it the pace
that kills? Why not leave something
for succeeding generations TO do? Your
rich men, instead of settling on big
country estates and helping to improve
the rural districts, seem to all cluster in
the cities, and to continue adding to
their fortunes. The mania for work, for
active endeavor, seems never TO leave
them, and their children inherit the
same tendencies" -Washington Post.
A Jewish Wedding Feast.
There were a great many people COM
ing and going that day Mt the house
of the wise Rabbi Isaac Ben Nassur.
They were not all Cana people, by any
means. The bridal feast was spread
in the large front room opening upon
the porch, and all who had a right to
enter were welcomed heartily. Food
was plentifully provided. but the mer-
riest hour of each day would be after
sunset, when, the days work being
done, all the invited guests would
come. The bridegroom was continual
ly present, to receive congratulations
and good wishes. With him were sew
eral young men of his more intimate
friends; but decidedly the most impor-
tant figure in that room was Isaac
himself. AS master of the house and
as ruler of the feast, he sat at the
head of the long table provided for
the occasion. His dress was as simple
as ever, but il seemed to have under
gone a change, he wore it with so grand
an air. He appeared to be happy, and
he received great respect from the
throng of people who came to congrst-
ulate him upon the marriage of his son.
So the marriage feast went on until the
midday was past and the shadows be-
gan to lengthen in the streets of Cana.
