as she smiled 81 don't require car
riage all to myself.
There was the slightest possible stress
on the 81, " which made him vince.
Evidently she was not going to spare
him
"How far did you get?" she inquired.
He named the spot where he had
turned back
''You didn't go far. hope our little
race didn't take it out of you too much. Z"
This was said with an air Of inno-
cence, which it was impossible to take
offense at openly, but it was none the
less irritating.
She continued her crushing process
until the train reached Barnes by crow
ing over him about the race. The
Growing" was done very delicately
and sweetly, but it was Growing
nevertheless. She discussed form
and "style," told him he depended too
much on the strength Of his arms and
not sufficiently on his weight, and alto
gether made him feel more like cock
ney novice than racing man.
To do Mr.. Watts justice, he submit
ted to it fairly well.
Three weeks later they met again un-
der rather odd circumstances, and this
time Mr.. Watts had his chance Of scor-
ing.
He had been padding about on the
river for an hour or two when he felt
| splash of rain. There was evidently
going to be heavy downpour. 1t hap
pened that he was at part where there
was not a scrap of shelter on either
bank for mile or two except at one
place where a huge elm hung over the
water and provided one of natures UNI
brellas.
He had scarcely reached it when he
heard the swish of oars, and, looking
through the leaves, ne saw the girl in a
white blouse coming down stream at
racing speed. A CLEAN of triumph shot
into his eyes. She was making for the
same tree, but there was only room for
one boat, and he clearly had the right
OF prior possession.
She slowed down and backed water
skillfully until she caught sight of him,
safely sheltered under the thick leaves.
A look of vexation came into her eyes.
You must make room for me some
how" she said Grossly.
Come along then" he said, seizing
branch of the tree and easing his boat
out into the stream. She padded into
the shelter.
What are you going to do now?'
she asked in doubtful tone
81 shall make the best of my way
back to Teddington -
You'll get wet through, :" she said.
81 must chance that, " he said. 81
owe you good turn for the nice way
you treated me when we raced the other
day"
If Mr.. Watts had thought for a week
ne could not have hit on better way
of humiliating her. She was thorough
little sportswoman and felt the satire
keenly. To treat her with courtesy after
what had happened made her feel very
much smaller than vulgar revenge
would have done.
She told her best friend about it
and said: II was never more taken
down in my life. l would much rather
have got wet through. But it's always
the way when you quarrel with man
he treats you generously and makes
you feel small -
Nevertheless, Mr.. Watts modified his
views of mans superiority from that
hour and has never been known to re-
peat his celebrated argument about rec
ord breaking, especially as he has taken
his conqueror into life partnership

band Disgrace.
In the waiting room Of the railroad
station at the foot of Montgomery street,
Jersey City, sat we'll dressed elderly
man and woman, people Of evident re-
spectability. They had just arrived on
an incoming train. They were waiting
to make arrangements for the transfer
Of their baggage to this city. Beside the
man was gripsack labeled Weaver,
Hamilton, Canada Finally the man,
who appeared to be extremely nervous,
arose and started toward the smoking
room. AS he did so little old man,
attired as granger, and who had spar
king gray eyes, which were not even
concealed by the glasses he wore, grab
bed the man by the coat collar. The
man turned pale.
"What do you mean?' he asked of
the old fellow.
81 mean that you've been smuggling
opium into the United States" said the
old fellow Pm detective. - And he
showed his badge.
He ran his hand up under the other
mans coat, at the back and, after fun
bling about, produced several bottles
and packages

you know that I could send you to

The derelict's lips quivered and he
looked pleadingly at the elderly wo-
man, his wife. Tears flashed to her
eyes. Finally, she said, hesitatingly:
you're quite wrong, sir. That is
consumption medicine. My husband has
long been endeavoring to conceal the
fact from me that he is victim of con-
sumption. Just before we left Canada
he had his life insured for my benefit,
unknown to me, he thought. I have
known of his deception and whenever
he has left me, on the cars, I knew that
he desired to seclude himself to take the

and departed.
The elderly man and woman boarded

had witnessed the waiting room scene,
sat behind them in the car.
Neither Of them spoke word until
they were well up town. Then said the
man to his wife:
Mary, how could you lie SO? How
came you to think of such story?"

COUNSEL.

Anxious mother, bending low
Ger thy child now calmly sleeping,
Seek not it's destiny to know,
Leave 1t in the Fathers keepingI
Thou do well the mothers part
Gently training, gently leading
Guide the restless, untried heart
With loves Gliding, with loves pleading.
Never doubling, sow the seed,
Watch 1t budding into beauty.
Take out every useless weed
From the firm, straight path of duty.
Simple teaching, pure and plain,
Will its little life be molding
Into one bright golden chain,
Day by day for thee unfolding.
Careful mother, turn aside,
Turn with tears Of deep contrition
From the tempting voice Of pride,
Tempting thee with earth's ambition.
Heller thoughts should now be thine,
Upward gaze toward heavens portal.
Thy child must bow before this shrine
Teach it to win crown immortall

"My little girl was troubled with i'm

scratch would make great sore which
would not heal but kept getting worse.
My husband got bottle of Hoods Ssr-

it. When she had finished taking one
bottle she did not have a sore or blotch
on her, but l gave her another bottle to

both OF my little girls for loss of appe-

of his race, has not waited for Santa Claus
to call on him, but early on Christmas eve
has started out with basket to collect of
