Woman's Ideal MN.

81 suppose it's a perfectly harmless
amusement" said a young woman of
observation, shut for the life of me !
can't see the use of all this discussion
that's going on concerning mans most
attractive trait TO women Why, 1t is
not a question of any trait OF general
application at all; 1t simply depends on
the woman's idea of what is most at
tractive in some certain man at some
certain time. She may hold to the ideal
all through her girlhood that the only
worshipful mar Is the poetic and soulful
creature and then flop completely over
and throw herself at the muddy feet Of
the tousle-headed 'half-back' Of q col
lege football team.
"It's all nonsense to say that we
women have got any well-sustained,
well-deiined ideals Of manly character.
We don't fall in love with q man be-
cause he fills out our plan but because
we like the fellow; because we can't
help ourselves In fact; and then we
make the astonishing discovery that his
characteristics are just those that we
admire. Our ideal changes with each

we like In men, but it is silly to try to

most attractive to woman in general.
To every woman that manly quality is

DIRECTORS ARE RESPONSIBLE
important Decision Rendered In the
United States Court at Grand
Rapids.

Grand Rapids, Mich, April 24.-In the
United States court Judge Severens
filed a long decision, holding bank di.
rectors responsible for losses sustained
through their negligence and inatten-
ton to business.
The Greenvflle National bank, organ
lied In 1884, with a capital Of $50, 600,
suspended in June, 1893, and Rupert T..
Gibbons vas appointed receiver. The
liabilities were 1927, 1888, and nominal as
sets $500, 900, and from these assets only
$40, 900 was realized.
Leroy Moore, the president and man.
ager OF the bank, was a debtor either
direct or by Endorsement for SIZE, 7Gs,
and the investigation showed tina the
bank vas deliberately wrecked by
Moore and the funds systematically
converted to his own use.
In deciding the case the court holds
that the failure was not the result Of q
single fraud, but "the malversion OF the
bank funds from the very beginning"
The court also holds that GreenVillu

agement by the most cursory examina,
ton Of the books. The directors claim
they did not know what the president
was doing with the funds, and the cour,
holds that this Is a charitable view t
take Of the matter. From the time they
were elected directors they seem tt
have slumbered while the president
looted the institution.
The court holds the two directors re.
sponsible for all losses sustained by the
bank from July l, 1892, to July /, 1893
covering the last year OF its career, ant
the matter will be referred to a master
to ascertain the amount due. The bani

CHAPTER XXXYI.

The stealthy influence of distrust fastens
Its hold on the mind by slow degrees. Little
by little 1t reaches its fatal end and disguises
delusion successfully under the garb of truth.
Day after day the false conviction grew on
Sydney's mind that Herbert Linley was COM
pairing the life he led now with the happier
life which he remembered at Mount Morven.
Day after day her unreasoning fear contem-
plated the time when Herbert Linley would
leave her ~friendless In a world that had no
place in 1t for women like herself. Delusion
fatal delusion-that looked like truth!
Morally weak as he might be, the man whom
she feared to trust had not yet entirely lost
the sense which birth and breeding had firm
ly fastened In him-the sense Of honor. Act
ing under that influence, he was (f the ex-
preston may be permitted) consistent even
in Inconsistency. With equal sincerity Of
feeling he reproached himself for his inidell-
ty toward the woman whom he had deserted
and devoted himself to his duty toward the
woman whom he had misled. In Sydney's
presence-suffer as he might under the strug.
gle when he was al0ne-he found a resolu-
ton which sustained him. II kept his inter-
course with her studiously gentle in manner

AlaDastine.

Chicago Inter Ocean, Feb. %: Readers
of the Inter Ocean have often seen Ala
bastine prominently mentioned In these
columns during many years past. The
main counting room on the first floor OF
the building was daintily and beautifully
decorated with Alabastine, both walls and
ceiling, seven years ago, and has been
nicely cleaned FIVE times, though badly
smoked each year.
The same room has just been handsome
ly redecorated in freehand Alabastine
modelling in the delicate tints and other
Alabastine work, and the effect Is very
beautiful, even surprising the original
work of seven years ago.
The original Alabastine (the hot-water
kind supplied nearly all demand for
ready-made wall c~oatings throughout the
whole of the United States for sixteen
years.
This is the same as the original except
being in form adapted for use in cold wat
er. Alabastine is a cement that forms
permanent coats, admits Of %recoating from
time to time without removing its old
coats, and hardens with age.

assassination of the president will
doubtless bring the country to a revolu-

BURNED FORT MAUDE.
lfrdis Compel British Forces to Retire
After Hard Fighting.

After Hard Fighting.
LONDON, Aug. % An official dis
ptch from Simla announced that Fort
Naude, in the Khyber Pass, has been
captured by the Afridis after desperate
fighting. The garrison, which was
composed of native levies known as the
Khyber Rifles, retired with the loss of
three men. The Afridis afterwards
burned the fort.
At the same time that Fort Maude
was abandoned the Khyberer Rifles,
garrisoned at Fort Jeangera, were COM
PEELED to abandon that place. The area
Of active fighting is enlarging rapidly.
The Afridis attacked with great deter
mination the fortified post at Sudda,
but were not successful in capturing it..
hrochinar was also attacked. The re-
suits of this attack and of the fighting
Of Fort Ali Musjid are not known.
The British military authorities have
now mobilized $4,000 men for frontier
operations, which with the frontier
garrison makes $4,000 men available to
put against the insurgents.
