Promised His Mother He Would Never
Play Cards Again.
A party of well-dressed men met at
leading hotel the other night. A game
of poker was proposed, when one OF
them said:

cuse me, gentlemen"
"Why, played with you several years
ago." said one.
Eyes, but since that time my mother
died. For years before her death / was
a professional gambler, and it nearly
broke her heart, for she had always
hoped that l would make my mark in
some honorable profession. At her
deathbed, three years ago, promised
her that / would never touch another
card, and have kept my word. Inever
will"
His companions were visibly affected
by this candid recital, and one of them
said:
Il honor you for your course, and VIC

you went into profession when you
ceased your career as a gambler. and

THIS nose also expresses the same
keen insight into varying human emo
ton that is noticeable in any portrait
of Pitt. 1t ia this power that enables
great statesman to penetrate the policy
of another nation and be ready for ac-
ton, and qualities a great actress to
delve into the motives that actuate hui
man existence and show them again to
the public with unvarying accuracy.
Mrs. Oliver p. Belmont has a nose of
an entirely different type. A shorter
nose, less sharp in outline, displaying a
slight tendency towards the retrousse
order. 1t is straight and long enough,
however, 10 show force of character and
determination to succeed in any I'M

the upward finish of the nose would in

world, rather than with its help.
Her ability to accomplish her wishes
would be rather the result of self-will,
the disposition that cannot brook inter.
ference, than that strength of purpose
that leads men and women to do heroic
deeds for others. The narrowness of the
upper nose would give the impression
that Mrs. Belmont would find it difficult
to put herself in another's place; would
see things from her own standpoint OF
not at all.
Beatrice Harraden has the well devel'
oped nose of a thinking person; yet not
of the person who thinks cheerful
thoughts. There is distinct tendency
TO melancholy and lack of ambition
Determination is not wanting, but il
would need rousing by sense of duty
She would dare a good deal for prin.
ciple, but not much for self. The nose
reveals earnestness that might easily DC

Indication of suficiency, rather oil
sensitiveness that anticipates disap

rice Harraden's nose would indicate
that she wrote her quantity delicate
stories from love of writing, without

1t is astonishing how seldom the con-
tour Of the nose, its beauty or meaning,
enters into the criticism of face.
Women are neryously anxious that their
eyes should be large and bright, their
mouths small and true eupid's bow.
They mourn over the possession of ''un-
interesting hair and prefer that their
ears should end in pretty pear-shaped
lobes rather than be fastened close to the
head, in what Lombroso designates as
criminal fashion;" but beyond the
mere fact that a nose is useful to conf
plete the outline of a profile, ii has lit
tie interest for them.
Yet it is really the most tell-tale feat
ure Of the face and actually a far moro
important index to character than
either the eyes or lips.
1t is not an invariable guide, to be
sure; but something of it's close rela-
ton to the brain can be gathered from
the fact that it broadens or sharpens
according to the strength or weakness
of the lungs and therebyAindicates the
power of the physical system to supply
nutrition to the brain.
What could be 4 truer index to char
acter than a splendid, well-proportioned
nose of the Divine Sarah?" 1t is the
nose of diplomat. statesman, in fact.
1t shows the power of concentration; of

swath through the strongest opposing
influences. 1t is a nose greatly resem-

Fades in autumn's changeful light,
Amber clouds and purple night;
Wait not till the winter hours
Heap with snowdrifts all the flowers,
Till the tide Of life runs low
If you love me. tell me so.
If you love me, tell me so,
While the river & dreamy flow
Holds the loye-enchanted hours,
STEPPED in music, crowned with flowers;
Ere the summers vibrant days
Vanish in the opal haze;
Ere is hushed the music flow

If you love nc, tell me 50,
Let me hear the sweet words low!
Let me now, while life is fair,
Feel your kisses on my hair;
While in womanhood's first bloom,
Ere shall come dark days of gloom,
In the first fresh dawning glow
If you love mo- tell me SO.

of marked strength and individuality OF
character. 1t is as strong and rudely
modelled as Gladstone's nose, and yet has
the length, and wide, open nostrils OF
Nelson's, which popularity indicates
great strength of purpose. whether in
love or war.
The peculiarities which have of late
years distinguished the public career
of Mrs. Hetty Green were all clearly
foretold in the remarla BILE. shape of her
nose as young woman. A glance at
q profile portrait taken when she was
&c years old reveals to the practiced
eye the possession of the very character
istics which have since made her name
famous throughout the United States
1t is a nose both warlike and timid;
1t shows love for fghting's sake, and
yet in the compressed nostrils there
turks a suggestion-not exactly of fear,
but certainly of apprehension. a de-
sire to be on the safe side. She would
probably have enlisted in the war had
she been a man; but she never would
have been a great general. The fear
lessness that creates and originates is
but intimated in the close-pressed lower
nose.
She would be more tenacious of an
idea than of principle and willing to
fOhf f0 have har own wav STRANGE IN
say, her nose rather resembles that of
Mozart, the musician, in whose profile
the desire to excel and the desire to ac-
guire are both strongly marked.

tiresome one. The country, which
was new to him, was extremely rough.
At times he found himself at the bot
tom of a deep gorge, and again at the
top OF a steep bluff and saw before him
a black and apparently bottomless
abyss There was no moon, but the
friendly stars would guide him. Pixies
peak, standing high against the sky,
showed him where the east was, While
the Greenhorn range rose rough and
abrupt to the west. But when he had
been upon his journey less than an
hour, a gray cloud hung like a heavy
fg on the hill and shut out all the
Fight from the heavens, and obscured
the earth. Instead of waiting for the
mists to clear away he kept on going
and was soon hopelessly lost, so far
as any knowledge of the points of the
compass was concerned. He might, for
what he knew, be headed for the hills,
or he might be walking in the direction
of the junction and the states prison.
At last having reached what appear
ed 10 be the summit Of little hill, he
sat down upon a huge rock to rest. AS
he sat there he thought he heard a
sound like that produced by horses
stepping about on a, stone floor. Pres
emily the cloud rolled away, and al
scured. the stars were bright above
and the crags of the main range stood
out clean-cut against the western sky.
Before him he saw Pixies peak and
knew that a little way below him, hid

The sheriff and his posse, lost in the
fog, had halted in a small basin and
were waiting for the clouds to clear
away The sheriff insisted that he had
heard man cough. and now the lit
tie party were sitting on their horses
in silence, which was broken only by
the nervous tramping of a broncho.

pierced his heart Another plunge of
the horse hurled him to the ground, his
foot caught in the stirrup and the mes
senger was Mortified to see the crazed
broncho bounding awas- dragging his
rider, head down, over the Jagged
rocks. The maddened animal appeared
to be blind with rage. He crashed
through a low broad cedar and a mo-
ment laSer leaped over precipice and
went rolling down the splintered side
OF deep gorge; and when the sheriff
and his companions came up the gulch
they found, where the horse and rider
had fallen, one mangled mass of torn
and tattered flesh.
Made desperate by this appalling
sight, the three officers were soon hot
upon the trail of the fugitive. Find
ing it impossible to run away from his
pursuers, the messenger cached his
treasure, took refuge among some
sharp rocks, and awaited the coming
of the enemy. To his surprise, only
two men came out of the gulch; the
other, having taken another route in
order to head off the fugjtives, was
now far out of range. The officers had
the advantage of being armed with
rifles, and to hold this advantage,
fought at long range. The besieged,
being sheltered by the, rocks, was able
to STAND them off until both of his
guns were empty, but the moment he
ceased firing the sheriff and his deputy
began to advance. The messenger,
weak from his wound, worked nervous
ly with his one useful hand, and had
barely succeeded in reilling one of his
pistols when he was surprised by the
sound of a gun almost directly behind
him and not ten feet away. He turned
his revolver upon the new con,ar- onlv
to find that the man was aiming at the
deputies. Without word he turned
again to the work in, hand, and at the
next crack of the strangers pistol saw
the left arm of the sheriff fall limp at
his side, while the Winchester it was
leveiing fell to theg ground. Now,
damn you, fight fairs shouted the
stranger advancing. Following the
fearless +, example Of this man,
who had so Unexpectedly re-
inforced him, the messenger
came from shelter and began to
advance. upon his assailants. One of
the horses was hit by a bullet and be-
came almost unmanagea BILE, so that
the sheriff, finding the brunt of the
fight upon himself, and seeing that the
messenger had a confederate, was
a bout to retire when a badly-aimed
shot from his companion shattered the
ankle OF the messenger, causing him
to fall In an instant he rose to his
knees and began again to use his gun.
The sheriff, glancing at his companion,
saw that he had been hit in the head,
for blood was streaming down his face
The battle had gone against them, and
now the wounded sheriff and his
bleeding companion turned their
horses and galloped away,

with the first move of his body the four
rifles cracked almost as one gun and
the messenger went down.
Throwing the bridal reins over the
necks of the horses the sheriff's posse
dismounted and hurried up the little
hill, but when they reached the spot
where the messenger. had stood, there
was no messenger, nor sign of messen-
ger. Anticipating the rain of lead he
had dropped behind the rocks while
the bullets passed over his head and
by the time the posse had reached the
crest of the hill and recovered from
their surprise, the messenger was far
up the side of the mountain hiding
among the crags.
What d'you say now, cap?" asked
the man who had been anxious to earn
the reward, ''do we git i'm mex time er
do we let i'm go?''

The white cloud rolled down the
mountain as the fleece rolls from a
sheep that is being shorn, and lay in
tlmbled heap at the foot of the range.
The gray dawn came out of the east
and revealed the peaks that were hid
den high up in heavens blue. Upon

heard the clatter of steel-clad feet and
knew that he was being surrounded.
