Thank heaven you haven't lost your
individuality yet, Margaret. Wilson, you
we're regrettlng your lonely estate
awhile ago; after listening to such re-
marks from the mouth of one woman,
beware Of all others and rejoice at your
escape"
Come, Doctor" said Margaret, be-

quiet and sedate for the rest Of the even

conversation much moro instructive and
entertaining"
When Wilson HAD taken his departure
an hour or so later, Margaret turned to
Brian with the remark:
Il am so glad you brought him, Brian.
I like him so much"

again. I'm jealous Of him. But, seri-
ously, Margaret, he is quite a fine fell

that you should see more Of New York,

left you very much alone lately, but

He knew that Margaret was pleased,

CHAPTER xvII.


To Brian, the knowledge that Mar
garet had not lost all feeling for him,
and that her faith in him was strong,
Notwithstanding his many falls,
brought new strength and courage.
With the power Of strong determine
ton he seemed to be gaining victory
over that old habit. Not an entire one,
OF course. Margaret could not expect
SO much. Sometimes friend could
lure him away, but this was seldom,
and never since their talk in her room
had he lost the entire command OF him.
self.
Under these circumstances Margaret
felt her heart considerably lightened.
She could look forward more hopefully
to the future, and her letters took ON
something Of her OWE cheerful spirit
Brian could not fail to see the change.
and it was equally apparent to Wilson,
in his few brief visits. He only dropped
in upon rare occasions now, seldom
stayed long, aud always claimed that he
was too busy even to find time to see
his friends.
Il suppose we must accept your ex-
cuses, Doctor" Margaret replied one
evening to his usual plea. Cant you
teach your patients some idea OF the fit
ness OF things? Why should they all
get sick together? ! think few might
wait until the others are WE'LL"
$50 they might, Mrs. Leigh, II they
could see the matter from your point Of
view. Unfortunately, however, illness,
like time and tide, waits for no man.
We have had very trying winter, and
pneumonia is very prevalent. That has
added considerably to my labors. l con-
TESS I am thoroughly tired out when
night comes, and only too glad to creep
into bed.
And sleep in the comfortable sense
that your rest Is we'll earned"
Yes" he laughed, though tina is no
proof against its being broken. The
only time my profession brings regret
is when / hear my night bell Jingling
and am called from delightful
nap"
Just as I've always said," observed
Brian. with a side glance at Margaret.
"A doctors life Is all work and no
play"
And you like the play best; don't
your" she rejoined, quickly. Still, play
or not, Brian, 1t is very noble profess
sion, and when I was child always
declared should be doctors wife.
There was a decided question In tho
eyes she fxed upon him.
Poor margaret" he replied, joining
In Wilson's laugh. What miserable
concern you managed to get. Only the

than nothing. An acorn Ia only the be.

the acorn because It is not an oak

Wilson, as we'll as Brian, caught the
delicate emphasis on the yet, and he
answered with half smile:

Brian came behind her chair with
this question. She glanced back at him
and smiled.

stout lGsrghsrita Ii Very Fond Of Ital-
Ian Cookery.
The queen of Italy is much enjoying
her stay at Gressony, in the Italian
AIDS, where, dressed in peasant cos
tune. she climbs, despite her weight
and size, in good earnest, says London
Figaro. Her majesty is very popular
in the mountain villages and whenever
she enters one is invariably received
with flowers and enthusiastic signs OF
devotion. There is very little doubt
that the tendency to embonpoint which
SO distresses Queen Margherita IL due
to her fondness for Italian cookery with
its oil, spices and pastry. She is espe-
cialIy fond of cakes fried in oil; spa
ghetti, together with cheese and olives
and fritto, compound of artichokes
chickens livers, calves brains, and
cocks combs. When there are no for
eigners present at the royal board the
national cookery is always in the as
cendant. When in Rome Queen Mar
gherita's mode of sporting is. for SOW
ereign, delightfully."- unconventional. She
rises early and summoning some fav-
orite lady-in-waiting issues quietly
from the courtyard of the Quirinal and
makes her way to the Corso. She will
then enter those shops that enjoy her
patronage, survey rapidly the treasures
held out before her, point out those
which appear to her desirable and leave
as swiftly as she entered.

1t Puzzled the Rarbsr.

Three brothers bearing a remarkable
resemblance to one another are in the
habit of shaving at the same barber
shop. Not long since one of the
brothers entered the shop early In the
morning and was shaved by German
who had been at work in the shop
only q few days. About noon another
brother came in and underwent a
similar operation at the hands Of the
same barber. In the evening the third
brother made his appearance. when the
German, dropping his razor in aston
ishment exclaimed: well, upon my
word! Dat man hash the fashtest
beard / never saw! l shaves him dis
morning, shaves him at dinner times
and he comes back now NIT his beard

We own no houses. have no lands. We

We roam afar wherever green
The pastures roll before.
FOR We are strangers in the land
And will be evermore.
ws've seen q hundred kingdoms fall
great races pass away,
And stone-built cities, moated, walled
have crumbled into clay,
And where were granite palaces
And gardens of the vine
Are now the richest woodlands
where
Our nocks at MONDAY dine.
Our tents have stood the storms of
four-and-twenty hundred years
And plague and war have dealt with
us severest through our fears.
When famines wasted other lands
Our fields have still been green,
And tempest-riven skies have been
To us but skies serene.
1t happened long, ah, long ago, we
count by centuries.
That to a city far we fed, urged by
necessities
To shun the host of Syria
And the Chaldean king,
We hasted westward like a flock
OF birds upon the wing.
And in that city far away a man of
mien divine
Enticed us to temple fair and
tempted US with wine,
And from the law our father made
His sons did not depart,
But kept the precepts, for his words
Are written on the heart.
Then spoke the man of God to us,
with holy ardor fired,
And in our ears a message poured
prophetic and inspired,
Because the Rechabites have KEEP.

Their children evermore shall dwell.
Before me in the land
Fast roll the years that woven thick
with changes come and go,
And all is altered save the word OF
God to man below;
For, like a rock that from the sea
Rears its triumphant form,
The promise of the Lord remains
Unmoved by time or storm.
