O'Clock when they at last appeared before

their journey, and while passing through
the crowds at the station and in the streets.
Ostrander had exhibited a new and grave
guardianship over the young girl and on
the first landing, after a scrutinizing and
an almost fierce glance at one or two Of
Helen's odd fellow dodgers, he had ex-
tended his protection SO far as to accom-
pany her up the four flights to the landing
OF her apartment.
Here he took leave of her with grave
courtesy that half panied, half pleased her.
She watched his broad shoulders and dan

and then hurriedly turned, entered her
room and locked the door, The smile had
faded from her lips. Going to the window,
she pressed her hot eyelids against the
cool glass and looked out upon the stars
nearly level with the black roofs around
her. She stood there some moments until
another star appeared higher up against
the roof ridge-the star she was looking
for. But here the glass pane before her
eyes became presently dim with moisture.
She was obliged to rub it out with her
bandkerchief-yet somehow it soon became
again clouded. At which she turned sharp

"Darling!'
The word was spoken with such fervor
and suddenness that the maiden almost lost
her grip upon the handle bars.
Bushes overspread her beautiful features.
but Horace Middleton could not see them,
owing to the fact that her back was toward
him.
They were mounted upon tandem, and
for half an hour had been spinning smooth
ly along beneath overhanging branches,
hearing only the twittering of the happy
birds above them and The whirring of the
wheels upon the smooth hard road.
"Darling.' the young man said again, and
there was a tremulous earuestness in his
voice that could not be misunderstood.
But Marguerite Pillsbury did not reply.
She only gripped the handle bars more
firmly and put much weight upon the
pedals that the tandem shot forward as If
some one had given it push from behind.
A sickening doubt took possession of Hor,
ace Middleton, and for moment ii seemed
if he would reel and fall by the way. He
would indeed have done so il the beautiful
girl in front of him had not kept firm
tread and steady hand.
For a minute or two that seemed an age
to Horace Middleton, they sped onward.
A hundred sickening thoughts flashed
through his head. For months he had loved
Marguerite PillsDury with all the afuor VI
his warm, sunny nature. but never before
had he dared to dvulge his passion.
Her silence was beyond his understanding.
Did it mean that she returned his love OF
that she spurned him? For moment he
thought that perhaps she was too fun OF
emotion for utterance, but then he noticed
that she was almost running the wheel her
self, and it occurred to him that she was
hurrying to get home and be rid Of him.
At last the suspense became too great to
be borne, and he decided that he must know
his fate without further delay.

Baby's Breakfast.
From Harper's BaZar.

From Harpers Bazar
A baby falls i'll easily; but an old ply
sician' once told us that by reason of this
very vitality it lives through much more
proportio nately than an older person does.
But one thing it will not live through, and
that is the work of poisonous ptomaines
in its stomach. The baby whose happy
mother nurses it herself or whose healthy
wet nurse does has nothing to fear from
this; but the poor darling brought up on
the bottle is in deadly darger from the
thousand and one contrivances in relation
to its little table furniture of bottle and
tube, which either a desire to help or a
desire to sell has changed and improved
and elaborated TO multiplicity. OF course
1t is self-eVident, after one has lost child
from cholera infantum, that the long fiexi-
bic tube inside the bottle, despite the best
efforts. could never have been thoroughly
cleansed, and that while one sought to do
Ter best by the dear baby. her own hand
was administering to him, every two or
three hours, with smiles and kisses, his
dose of daily microbes. The only safe
thing in tn. contingency of using bottle
is a clear glass flask with a silver mouth
piece thar can be kept perfectly clean with
out deposit Every atom of ii can be
reached by scalding water, can be seen and
washed and rinsed and brushed; and moth
ing else can.
But even having the best bottle is not
enough; one must also have the best milk
and we are assured that if the milk is
more than two hours from the COW 1t is
dangerous unless steriliZed. We used to
be told that child should have the milk
OF only one COW; but that probab bly, was a
cropping toward the truth that milk
changes rapidly, and to the infant organ
ism poisonously. The process of sterilza-
ticn is ve"y simple and easy and can De
done by any one with little effort and
should be accepted as a necessary process

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT,
EDITED BY A.. J. DUPUY.
The High School Commencement.

~~~~S
Something definite can now DO said
about the annual Commencement xer-
cises Of the High School.
There will be eleven graduates with
Miss Lizzie Blacksher as valedictorian
Of the class.
The program will differ this year in
regard to the reading OF the essays.
Only three members of the class will
read, and those three the best essayists.
The class wrote essays and a committee
composed of citizens Of Opelousas Sc
lected those of Miss Lizzie Blacksher,
Miss Ida Andrus and Mr.. Peyton r..
Sandoz as the best.
Two members of the class, Misses
Martha Andrus and Asa Pulford will re-
cite. Misses Mary Mornhinveg, Julia
Anderson, Gertrude Sandoz. Ida Gull
lom, Rose Del BuOno and Elise War
telle will debate. Prof. II. L. Chambers,
whom the people of Opelousas know,
will make the address.
The first night will he taken up with
a cantata by pupils from all grades 10
the school. Nothing definite has been
arranged for the second night. but it is
probable that the Opelousas Dramatic
Club will render IL play. The third
night is for the graduates and Prof.
Chambers address.
Nothing can now be said about the
music except that the charming and
popular vocalist, Miss Anita Doremus,
has consented to sing.
W. hope to see the interests of the
people thoroughly aroused in these ex-
erclses. Your interest shows your APP
