Old John s. was a rural postman
in a west country district and in a
rather rough fashion was also an anna
teur dentist. On his rounds one day he
met certain farmer about to start for
a six mile ride to town for the purpose
of getting an aching tooth drawn. On
seeing old John, however, the farmer,
distracted with pain, determined to test
the old man S skill as a tooth pulIer. a
pair of somewhat rusty pliers was pro-
duced, and after a few tugs the tooth
was held up for the farmer to see, who
exclaimed:

And so there was quiet little we'd
ding in that bare hotel chamber one
gray November morning, the room
made bright with a wealth of the fair
est flowers that Denver could contrib
lite, brighter still in Neil's glad eyes
for the bride who came to his bedside
to be wed, the sweet radiance of her
happiness beyond clouding even such
gloom as her relative, Miss Van Der
lynde, wore for the occasion.
1t was sore trial for that good lady.
That niece of hers, a Van Derlynde on
her mothers side, should come to this
rude mining camp to marry this COM
mon miner-for no explanation could
make it clear to her that Harvey Neil
was anything clse-and that she should
wed in this off-hand fashion, was a
shock to her aristocratic soul from
which she felt that she could neverquite
recover. Had she been fully cogniZant
of such awful possibilities, sure it was
that she had never been brought to
play the part of chaperone; but now
that she was here, powerless to inter-
fere, she submitted herself to the mar
tyrdom of giving away the bride, with
feeling-as she expressed it after
wards in pathetic accounts to all MEM
beers of the family-as though she were
assisting at Dorothy's funeral, her man

Windy Gulch. when its first surprise

comment. Public opinion had under
gone a change towards Harvey Neil.
The time had been when even his best
friends would deprecate his attitude
toward the Miners union, so pregnant
of trouble, regretting his independence
of spirit. his obstinacy of temper; but
now no word was heard save in his
praise. The Grubstake disaster had

THE SCIENCE OF NUTRITION.
A Great Deal Depends Upon Proper
Diet.

That we are in error in our food
economy is no longer a vague theme
to be scoffed at by the thOughtless,
noticed lightly by the reader, and be-
lieved in only by the scientist. 1t is
substantial fact, easily proved to those
who would be doubtful. Prof. Atwater.
under the direction of the United States
agricultural department, has given to
the people such data in bulletins show
ing the result of his Investigations that
anyone of ordinary intelligence may
fully comprehend, so concise and com
plete are they.
While there is yet much 10 Learn

CHAPTER XIII

But Harvey did not GO east as he had
planned.
The very vehemence of his desire to
escape an environment he had come tO
loathe, whipped to frenzy by the sud
den, unreasoning jealousy aroused by
the doctors statement that Dorothy
had written to him, defeated itself by
its own impetuosity. Thinking it best
to humor the sick mans within, if only
&c convince him of his weakness, Mrs.
Bowen had allowed him to be dressed
and to sit up for little while that even
ing, with the result that her argument
carried beyond her expectations, the
over-exertion bringing about a relapse,
when, as is usual in such cases, the con-
0itions were far more grave than in the
first illness.
Now he was delirious, babbling OF his
worlds fair lady, his Dorothy. his
sweetheart, until his voice had grown
to be but husky whisper as he sank
down into the very shadows of death,
while the doctor, listening, understood,
-comprehending what mischief he had
inadvertently wrought by his half-truth
about Dorothy's letter.
1t was an amazing revelation to him,
revelation that left him very grave.
He had not been a man if he had not
perceived that Dorothy Meredith was
a rarely beautiful girl, if he had not
felt the winning sweetness of her per
sonality. He had enjoyed but bare
speaking acquaintance with her during
most of her stay at Windy Gulch; but
he had fallen into habit then of watch
ing to- see her come and go as he idled
away the hours before his Office door,
his thoughts lingering about her more
than he had perhaps quite realized at
the time, and .4e had eagerly seized

tie Into n Ball Room.
Can anyone tell me anything of the
city assembly rooms and the assembly
rooms ION the Surrey SIDE" i. E., South
wark, about the year 1772? The social
side of the city about that time is curl
ously difficult to get at satisfactorily.
For instance, when Catherine Hutton
went to London in 1888, being then q
years of age, she went with a certain
Mr.: j. WoodhOuse and his mother. They
called for her at 1880 in the evening.

of pale-blue French silk, spotted with
pink and green, the coat lined with
pink silk, his hair in a bag, white

This seems very splendid. At the as

this assembly.
As regards the Surrey assembly, all /
can tell you about it is that the room
was on the ground floor, and that on a
certain night-the opening night of the
season of 1772 (?)-while the dancing
was at it's height, some wag threw open
the front door and gave admission to a
drove of oxen, which began to run
about in a most terrifying manner;
some of the men drew their swords
valiantly; others tumbled down; the
| ladies tainted and fell over the men;
caps, hoops, tippets, handkerchiefs were

ceremonies his mopstick--did the NJ
c. on the Surrey side carry mopstiek
as a wand of office ?-and with so much
spirit belabored the horny tribe that
they fled incontinent.
When the company gathered them
selves together, and picked up what
they could, being horribly disheveled,
amid the general wreck-hoops gone,
wigs pulled to pieces, headgear de-
stroyed, dresses torn-they proceeded
