FELL WITH A CRASH.

for he knew that she often worked late
into the night. How he admired the
brave, beautiful girl who alone in the
world had so we'll resisted it's temp
tations!
! He wondered when and how he be-
gan to love her! She had come to this
house the year before. At first he had
noticed she was pretty but for a long
time had given her no further thought.
Then by degrees this sentiment had
entered his heart and finally possessed
ibis whole being. How had it come?
Through the walls, as it were. It is
the attraction of the woman one feels
living near. At night we wonder, Is
Ishe in? In the morning, Is she up?
until all OUT thoughts are of her.
Be 1t as it may, Jacques had not the
least doubt as to the nature of his feel
iings for Charlotte. Had she allowed
him to speak, and admitting such a
possibility, had he but had the courage
ito address her, his declaration would
have been short and to the point:
/ "Mademoiselle, love you; will you
|be my wife?" would have been the
speech to convey all he thought, felt
tIand desired.
4 But, then, one cannot offer ones
empty hand to a woman! Jacques was
poor. He was a painter-one of those
taspirants whose wealth is still a mat
tier of hopes and dreams. Just at pres

Upon this chair our young artist spent

forward, slowly, but with that rapidly
increasing speed so misleading to the
upright traveller. Mrs. Lofter leaned
deferentially toward her snowy VISA
Wis, and laid her hands caressingly, up
on his shoulders Then they bounded
gracefully toward the door, with step
that was neither waltz nor a polka
but which was executed in such per-
feet time that the ordinary observer
would have suspected a previous re-
hearsal. Although differing widely in
color and in 45cial standing these two
travellers were, for the time being, GER
tainly one in movement This move
ment was perhaps more Of a galop than
a polka, and although tremendously
executed became a little too hasty at
the finish. The exhibition was brought
to close by her partners back coming
in violent contact with the jamb of the
door. Although the dance itself was
practically over, Mrs. Lofter continued
1or a moment to press heavily against
her dusky partner, and to one unac-
customed to these conveyances her ac-
ton might appear Of. questionable
taste even if prompted by the warmest
affection; but to those familiar with the
Broadway cable cars there was nothing
unusual in this performance, except,
perhaps, the costly attire of the lead
ing lady, and this added a certain
novelty and richness to the general
effect. AS Mrs. Lofter, hot with indig-
nation, released herself and stepped
away from the grinning object of her
caresses, a seat was offered which she
gladly accepted. Once in it she had
leisure to look about
Although inwardly revolving against
the sickening episode in which, to her
everlasting humiliation, she had just
taken so conspicuous part, her glance
swept the row of opposite faces with
naughty composure. She bit her lips
and there was defiance in her eyes
as she noticed a general smile through
out the car. Having no sense of humor
herself, this cheerfulness seemed ths
acme of human insolence.

LENGTH OF LIFE.

Comparative Longevity Of Men in Dr.

Some interesting facts and figures il
regard to the comparative length of life
of mon in different lines of business
have been prepared by DR.. George w.
Wells, A. NJ, M D., one of the best
known medical directors for one of the
largest life insurance companies in the
world, says an exchange. Dr. Wells,
who is about to publish in book form
the results of his many years e1-
perience as a medical director,
has arranged the following ta-
BILE, showing the comparative mortality
of men between the ages of Is and IS
years. The table represents many
thousands Of deaths which have been
tabulated and the percentages are
based upon every hundred deaths
among clergymen, the longest lived in
dividuals, as a class, of which there is
any record. There is twice as good
a chance that a minister will reach

cold sponge bath may be increased by
drying and rubbing the body with a
rough towel.
Care should always be taken not to
have the bath too prolonged, or of a
temperature so low as to prevent the
reactionary dilatation of the vessels Of
the skin.
L the cold sponge bath be taken reg
ularly the blood vessels Of the skin
are trained to contract and relax cas-
lily, and therefore habitual bathers are
comparatively little liable to catch
cold. The number of red blood-cor-
puscles and the amount of coloring
matter in them is increased by cold
baths
An excellent way of becoming accus-
toned to the cold sponge bath is to
begin with water that is tepid and
gradually reduce it's temperature until
absolutely cold water may be borne
and enjoyed.-Y outh's Companion.

toward the door on the left, heaved a
deep sigh and slowly entered the room
on the right.
Once inside, he removed his coat,
donned smoking jacket, placed a
chair near the wall, took his favorite
position astride it, and, leaning over,
applied his ear to the partition, evil
IDENTIFY anxious to hear from the other
side. Then he lighted a cigarette and
watched the smoke as he blew it into
fanciful shapes toward the ceiling.
He had already smoked several CT
Aarettes and repeated the listening op-
Grafton many times when his face, dark
until now, suddenly frightened. He
could hear some one moving. She
lis in!'
A clatter of knives and crockery was
now heard.
"She is getting her dinner!'
And leaning still farther forward he
strove to catch every move Of his I'M
conscious neighbor. ar -.
Never seeing her he still felt happy
TOT >el that she was living there so near
him. ~
That he saw her no more was indeed
"a cruel fact and cause of much grief.
At one time he used to see her almost
every day. He would plan accidental
meetings so cleverly that they really
appeared a pure favor from kindly
fate. They were the result of much
scheming, no doubt, and it required
great deal of patience to bring them
about. For instance, Jacques would
watch for hours in front of the house
to see her coming home. AS soon as
he caught a glimpse of her approach
ing form he would quickly run up the
stairs, wait an instant to give her time
to reach the house, then slowly go
down as if chance alone brought him
thus to meet her as she was climbing
up to her room. Unfortunately at that
Important point his self-possession
would always desert him. Her mod
est, unconcerned mien as she passed
by so upset him that he would find
himself bowling awkwardly, casting
down his eyes and feeling like BASH
full schoolboy.
Afer such failures he would remon-
sstrate with himself severely, VOW to
be less timid next time, practice grace
full bows, invent pretexts for address,
ing her and study subjects of CONVEX
sation. But all preconcerted arrange
ments would tumble confusedly to the
ground the moment he stood near her,
and the consciousness of defeat but
increased his nervousness One day he
elumsily dropped his hat and then he
determined to never see her again.
Thus" thought he, II may at least
avoid making a bad impression, as
can't make good one"
