fury of that pitAess gale, as beneat ii the
accumulation of misery and anxiety, he
set out for the doctors house.
Poor Tom! No money; no work;
with the rent coming due, and now a
doctors bill to pay! No wonder that
the brave young man was bowed; the
brave heart failing!
But the storm itself was not to be
ignored, and more than once Tom was
obliged to pause to recover his breath.
But presently, as he neared the more
thickly-settled part of the village, there
came lull, aud determined to make
the most of his opportunity, he dashed
forward. But the respite was of the
shortest; almost Immediately another
blast, of such fury as almost to hurl
him from his feet, came swooping down
upon him, forcing him to grasp with
both arms the trunk of great elm be-
meath which, at that moment, he hap
pened to be. As he stood there waiting
to regain his breath before starting
on the last stage of his journey, a dark
object came whirling down through the
air and fell 1T his feet. Mechanically
Tom stopped and picked it up before
the next rush of wind could carry it
away, and with it still in his hand went
forward to the doctors house, now
but few hundred feet beyond. 1t was
birds nest, that he saw at glance,
but in his anxiety he soon forgot even
the fact that he held it, and when finally
he found himself in the doctors office,
as he made known his errand his ner-
vous fingers crushed the frail thing
till scraps of twigs and hair showered
the carpet at his feet.
The young doctor listened with kind
attention as he described his mothers
condition, AMI as he finished laid his
hand kindly on Toms shoulder, saying
encouragingly:
II will come with you Immediately,
my boy. This is simply nervous at
tack which l shall have no trouble in
relieving. But from what you tell me
am quite sure that your mother needs
building up with nourishing food and
a strong tonic. She must have every
thing that will tempt her appetite,
soups, plenty of meat, eggs and milk;
and you will see her, at the end of a
month, almost as good as new" And

VOL. XXXVI.
A REVERIE.

q was only winsome way she had,
Az there in the twilight gray
sha smiled on me till my heart was glad,
In the glad. ld-fashioned way;
And fainter far than echoes are
Was the touch of a tremulOus tone
That round me fell with the magic spell.
OF hand that clasped my own.
THE rough old river, close to our feet,
Ran on with curve and fret,
As our love once ran on its way to meet
And be lost in a vain regret:
Nv darkened room shook out its gloom
Into folds OF a fair delight.
TIL overhead was canopied
BY only the stars of night.
She flung me shred of broken song
Rayeled from the unrest
That 6utters where faith has suffered
wrong
From doubts in the human breast;
And here and there and everywhere
The world bent down TO wait,
With me, the sign of a form divine
And the click of a cottage gate.
All! Fate, you cannot hide her face
And fairy form from me.
For the soul is careless of time and space
And master of things to be:
And while you would have my spirit sad,
- As sit in the twilight gray,
She smiles on me till my heart is glad
In the glad. old-fashioned way.

so saying, the doctor turned to his
shelves and began taking down various
bottles.
Poor Tom! The things which the
doctor had mentioned were about as
impossible as though he had prescribed
pure gold for his mother. He had borne
up bravely all through those trying
months. but the accumulation was too
much, and struggle as he might to keep
them back, the bitter, burning tears
would come.
think that if at that, or any future
time. the young doctor had asked of
Tom some almost impossible task, he
would have undertaken it gladly, out of
pure gratitude; for though he must have
seen them, as he turned unexpectedly
from the shelves back to the table be-
side which Tom was standing, he gave
no signs of having been witness to
those tears of which Tom was, though
he need not have been, deadly ashamed.
He had quick eye, had this young doc
tor, and a habit of putting two and two
together, which often helped him in his
practice; but thou gh the neat patches
on Toms shoes, and the frayed edges of
bis coat (Which the quick glance which
searched for the reason of those tears,
revealed to him), explained as fully as
so many words would have done, the
condition of affairs at the little cottage,
he said nothing as he went quietly on
preparing his prescription, giving the
boy ample time to recover himself.
YES" he said again, as he poured his
mixture into a bottle and labeled it,
Il am very sure that this will help your
mother very much" And then, as he
passed him with smile, he stopped
down and lifted from the floor the tat
tered nest which had fallen from Toms
hands as he raised them to brush away
those tell-tale tears, and stood eXamin-
ing it with n expression changing from
simple interest to incredulous astonish-
ment.
"Tom,' he said, finally, looking with
little twinkle in his kind eyes at the
downcast face from which the boy had
not been able to Danish the troubled,
anxious expression. Tom, this nest
which you brought in with you is some
thing of curiosity. Had you looked
into its construction? No?" as Tom
shook his head, little afraid even yet
to trust his voice: well, it is quite
worthy of investigation, find. have
frequently hegrd of birds using paper
as lining for their nests and have seen
mere than one thus upholstered; but
never before have either seen or heard
of ten-dollar bill being used for such
q purpose. Have yor, Tome"

THAT ILL WIND"
BY ANNIE l.. HANNAH.

SWELL, it's gone, and there's no help for
1t. 1t means going without few things
l meant to have, but | wouldn't mind
that so much if thought it would fall
into good hands; help some fellow out
Of tight box, you know" and the
Young man looked around with smile
at his companion, as he drew in his
head, and settled himself back in the
seat of the fast-tiying train.
That's a very philosophical way of
taking the loss of ten-dollar BILL" re-
marked his friend. 1T may teach you
not to hold money carelessly close to a
window of train going at 40 miles an
hour, but that is about all the good re-
suit that can be hoped for as far as
can see."
Perhaps; but l shall hope for the
best;" said the other, as he took up his
paper and began to read.
Surely it had ccnle at last, that "ill
wind" which was to do nobody any
good. 1t went raging about the house
in the most boisterous manner, whirl-
ing the dust into the air till the rain
came, and then dashing that against the
windows, and in through every crack
and Granny where it could force an en-
trance. 1t seized the branches and
flung them about as though quite de-
termined to tear them from the trees,
putting into imminent danger little
nest snugly situated in q crotch of
certain tree in pretty village street.
Its little builder had thought it quite
secure, but this storm had found
weak spot in the architects work, and
now the poor little thing seemed SIM
ply waiting the final catastrophe, which
would hurl ii to the ground.
Never, seemingly, had gale arrived at
more lnopportune moment. 1t had
mooped down upon the little brown cot
tage at the end of the long village street,
where Toms mother lay ill, filling it
with cold drafts, and so exciting the
Invalid that severe nervous attack,
with which Tom was utterly unable to
cope, had resulted.
Surely there had been trouble enough
there without this last straw being
added! Surely, those sturdy young
shoulders had had heavy enough bur-
aens to bear without more being heaped
upon them. And yet this great storm
mad brought new and serious complica-
hons upon its wings.
There had been long, trying months

A ten-doiIar bill. Toms head came
up like fash. Yes, there it was, lying
in the doctors palm; crumpled and
torn, but perfectly good; the solution
of this last hard problem.
But after the first fash of ioy, Tom,
not unnaturally. demurred. Would it
be right to use the money for which an
owner might be found? But the doctor
pointed out to him that had it been lost
by any resident of the village they
would certainly have heard of it.
1T has probably been dropped by
some business man passing through the
town." he told him, land l think you
will be quite justified in using it. Twill
put up notices in the post office and the
station, and if the owner ever appears
and you are not able to refund the
money, [ will lend it to you, and you
can pay me as you are able"
But the owner never appeared, and
it is only pity that he could not know
how fully his wish had been realized.
But that was not all. 1t was not very
long before Tom found himself in the
position of the doctors Office boy, with
not only an immediate income, but with
opportunities for an education, given
and received during spare hours, which
Tom hopes, and not without good cause,
will end in the receipt of college Dip
Iona to be followed by still another.
+ But already ten dollars had been saved
and laid away in the bank, not to be
touched, Tom says, till it comes forth
to hel p "somc other fellow out of a
tight box"
And SO, after all, that "Ill Wind" is
still to be heard from.-Washingto

Trimming on Skirts.

Trimmed skirts grow very slowly into
favor for street and general wear, bu.
it is style which meets with especial
favor for evening gowns, as chiffon.
mousseline de sole, grenadines and
silk lend themselves to elaborate ma
nipulation. The trimming is in deep
founces and narrow ruffies, arranged
in festoons and put on straight. Many
are edged in laces and outlined in flow
ers. and other have tucks and inser-
tions. Some skirts are covered with the
narrow frills and again have the Span
ish hounces to the knees.-N. Y. World.

THE DOCTORS STORY,
An Experience That Followed Call at
Night,

Night.
Four or five physicians were talking
uptown the other evening at the home
of one, and the conversation later turned
to shop. One of them had recently
moved his office downtown and there
was some discussion as to the advisa-
bility of separating house and office.
"Well,' said the separatist, II can't
see any difference, SO long as l am at
my office during office hours"
Let me tell you story" remarked
the oldest man in the party. Thirty
years ago, when l began practice,
lived in Virginia, and for year or two
| slept in my office. Thel, | married,
and my wife owned nice house, and L
Went to it to live. 1t sat back from he
street about 80 feet, and we decided
that it would be much nicer if we had
my office out on the street in the far
corner of the lot. Only so feet away,
you will observe, but still It was enough.
In order to see such callers as came
during the night, had night bell and
q speaking tube connecting the front
door of the Office with my bedroom.
You see, | did not want patient to es-
cape under any circumstances.
well, everything went nicely enough
for three years or SO, when one night a
ring came to my bell. 1t was then
about two o'clock in the morning, and
the ring was hot one. asked who it
was, and the answer came from friend
of mine to the effect that he was a
mighty sick man and wanted to see ME
at once. | told him to come around to
the house and l would meet him at the
door and take care of him. Then | got
up, and, putting on my dressing gown
and slippers, | proceeded to the front
door. But there was no one there. ana
no one in sight on the way between tho
gate and the house.
THAT was odd, and went back and
called through the tube to know what
was wrong. received no answer, and.
being quite unable to account for it, I
took my lamp-it was a very dark and
still highland started to go out and
investigate. Just as | was Nout to steu
off of the porch l lowered my lamp to
get a better light on the step, and there
at the foot of the porch lay body. |
turned it over at once, and as the light
fell on the face | saw it was my friend,
who had only minute before spoken
to me. He was quite dead, and when an
examination was made it was discor-
cred that he had died of heart disease,
and so near to me that I could almost
have touched him. Possibly could not
have been of any service to him if 1 had
seen him when he first rang the bell,
but the possibility that l might so af-
fccted me that from that day to this |
have had my Office as near my bed as ]
could get it.'-Washington Star.
