Ronald King went home, haunted by
the supplication of those beautiful eyes.
He hurried over an important engage
ment next day to go to the last per-
Torrance, but reached the place only
| to find that the Arabs had folded their
tents and silently stolen away. One
| solitary caravan alone marked the spot,
and, lighting a cigarette, he strolled up
| to where 1t stood.
The sound of moaning came from
within, and, after knocking vainly. he
opened the door. A miserable sight
met his eyes. An old woman-ill, dy.
ing, lying on rough straw pallet
turned a haggard face to the intruder
Ronald had seen sickness before. Out
in the bush any one helped dying
comrade, and soon he had moistened
the parched lips, arranged a pillow un-
der the aching head, lighted the swing
ing lamp, and sat down in the miser-
able howell; while with eager hands the
| woman gave a packet into his keeping
and told him story which seemed to
the young man only the rawlings of de-
lirium. 1t was vain to seek a doctor
then; the nearest one was miles away,
in the morning he should come.
Presently the moaning ceased, and
the old woman slept. Then Ronald
slipped quietly out, with a strange
thankfulness at heart that 1t was not
the beautiful Queen Camilla who had
fallen a victim to this terrible scourge.
With morning light he was back
again, but paused on the rickety steps
of the caravan at the sight that met his
eyes; and In that moment his heart
went out from his keeping.

"I was a physical wreck and I had

The result was a strengthening and ton

DICKS GOOD TIME.
He Was a Very Humane Boy and He
Was Enjoying His Well
Earned Reward.

A portly gentleman sat on the porch
and smiled, while small boy, also
smiling, painted the front fence.
ssLook at that boy" the portly man
remarked to visitor; she thinks he is
having a good time. A small boy is
surely the drollest creature oil earth.
When I was youngster remember
that there were certain kinds of work
1 considered play, and one of them was
painting. L was always crazy to paint.
Many times have taken a bucket of
muddy water and an old paint brush,
and have spent whole half day put
ting a thick coat on the side of my IA
theirs barn.
$50 with my boy, Dick, the little chap
painting the fence; he has always been
crazy to paint. He is enjoying himself
now-you can see he is; and ne will
paint that whole fence, too, just as
well as he knows how. Idon't care if it
is a tfi1e smeared; he's getting joy,
solid joy, thicker than the paint on
his hands and clothes.
''There's a mean side to it, too; he
wanted 10 paint the fence and wanted
the weeds pulled out of the yard. So,
like an underhanded rascal. bar
gained with him; I told him that if he
would pull all the weeds out [ would
let him paint the fence. He went
through the other job like soldier
he hates o pull weeds-all boys do
and now he thinks be is getting his re-
ward. 1t is a downright shame to fool
him that way-don't you think so?"
The portly gentleman ckuckled
again, and the small boy, wild with
joy, went on plastering paint on the
fence.-Detroit Free Press.

THE cENTlpEDE TURNED UP.
An Aresome PreseatInaent Drives a
New York woman from
Arkansas.

A New York woman, who lately
returned from the Arkansas hot
springs, is excited over what appears
to be a clever bit of foresight cn the
part CT her guardian angel. Some
time ago she went to the springs in
search of relief from rheumatism, and
was convalescing farnously when she
suddenly had presentiment that she
was to be stung by one CT the cent?
pedcs that add to the attracts of Ar
kansGs resorts. There was no ground
for the conviction that haunted her.
She isn't q nervous or faRciful woman,
and she had never seen a centipede;
but she lived in mortal fear day and
night. The physician said nerves"
and the woman reasoned with herself
and proved to herself a hundred times
a day that she was in no more danger
from centipedes than from tigers, but
all the same she couldn't shal.e off the
fear.
Everyone in the hotel knew of her
conviction and laughed at it. She
laughed at it herself in tremulous
way. Finally the anxiety began to tell
apon her health. and her daughter in
sisted that, while there was no excuse
for the fear, it would be wiser for her
to leave the place. The woman stout
ly said no. The water was curing her
rheumatism and she wouldn't be driven
away by an absurd fancy, but at last
one night she reached such a state of
fear that she wakened her daughter
and said she was going away by the
midnight train. She sentfor the porter
to take her trunk. When he arrived
she said:
John, let that trunk alone. I'm an
idiot, and I'm not going to allow my
foolishness to control me. won't CO."
The porter departed and the poor
woman dropped back into her chair,
white as ghost.
I've signed my death warrant" she
said.
That was too much for the daughter,
who, being young woman of some de-
termination, sent for the porter once
more, bundled her mother up, called a
carriage. and took the midnight train
for New York. carrying sheepish but
much-relieved mother with her. The
day after they reached here they had
letter from the proprietor of the
hotel. He wrote that an odd thing had
happened, and that it seemed so
strange that he couldn't resist writ
ing about it. The morning after their
hasty departure, man went into the
room at nine o'clock and found, lying
just beside the bed, the largest cent?
pede that had ever been seen in that
neighborhood. There were screens in
the windows, and no one could offer
any explanation of the creatures pres
ence in the house; but there it was
lying, just where anyone, in getting
out of bed, would have put her foot
upon it.
The story isn't good hotel adver-
tisement, but is has made one woman
firm believer in presentiments.-N.
