"And yet YOU let me do that thing,
knowing all the while my heart was
yours"
Evadne drew herself proudly up.
You forget. You never spoke of
love to me-"
"She was miserable I was miser-

of a few prim womanly scruples

stephen laughed contemptuously.
His had always been an cXacting ma
ture, and now that he almost felt hate
for this woman with her rich velvet
and her Jewels bearing witness that
she had stOrmed the citadel he had
deserted. Tonight the music and the
youth about him made him kick
against the pricks. 1t might have been
so different. He did not say it might
have been otherwise if stephen Rahere
had not bartered art for a pair of
blue eyes. But if EVadne Roseveare
had acted otherwise she might have
made him great if she had sat at his
feet and done him homage. He was
| angry with her, and his apathy had
kindled a little.
To be disillusiOncd now, to be robbed
of the hero she had WorShipped SO
long; it capped the climax of her mis-
fortune. This pettish railer against the

demic Of grippe in the city of New
York, said to have been caused by
germs conveyed in a letter from Rus
sia which was received by a patient
of an eminent uptown physician" That

Health says: "Whle it was less impet-
uous in its attack and less speedy in
it's elimination. its more protraoted
duration made it the most fatal OF all

1891 the severity of the disease has
been gradually declining, although
more or less prevalent every year. This

crease again in 1897. In 1898, up ia
the present time there have been fewer
deaths than in any previous year anca
the disease first appeared"
Professor Northnagel, of Vienna,
who made a special study of tho
grippe, made a report in 1892, in which
he said that the malady was MAS
matte, infectious and contagious, and
declared that no specific remedy was
known, though the sufferers might ba
relieved somewhat by various drugs.
AS to treatment, the New York Board
declined to make any suggestions, not
deeming it safe 10 give any general
prescription, because "the disease
takes many different forms, and each
form should be treated specifically"
One physician is candid enough to say
frankly that while drugs may help
TO relieve the suffering. the best cure is
a week spent in bed.'

bitter sense Of contrast. He had had
such q start in the race, yet she had
so entirely dstanccd him.
They bowed in silence-Evadne with
a grace that had become natural TO
her, Stephen with a touch of clumsi-
ness. n moment later they were alone.
EVadne rose from her seat and stood
under the warm radiance of a tall
shade lamp. She was beautiful as she
spoke, and her voice had always been
her chief charm.
"Have you forgotten me in all these
yearS?"
Then, and not until then, he recog-
nized her. He held out his hand; her
own tremLled as she took it.
Strange that we should meet at a
ball"
He spoke in the most matter of fact
tone possible, but it was an assump-
ton. 1t deceived Evadne. She put an
air of reserve into her next question

child-or, prehaps, you have Others

Her voice. her smile her delicate
distinction hurt him. 1t made him
feel that gulf of wel-spent years
rolled between them and set up a
barrier.

My one child died years ago"
II am sorry. Such sorrows as those
must be terrible"
She had resumed her seat and he
stood beside her, i'll at ease. Then
he said, with a touch of satire that
had wounded her sometimes when il
touched her unsuccessful work:
/ "Do not waste your compassion. My
marriage was not fortunate. 1 sup.

the utter sadness of two or three pic

There was man with her, pale and

bearing. He looked like q gentleman,
and yet there was something awkward
in his demeanor, as of one i'll at ease
and out of his element. He had, in
fact, come back to society after a long
absence. and found that both he and
it had drifted hopelessly apart. An
impulse just to glance again at what
he had left years ago had made him
accept chance invitation. He regret
ted it. His wife had not been dead
many months. He had imagined that
death would have come to him first. It

to mate because of the sordid petit

WHAT THE GRIPPE is.
Each Nation Tries to Shift the Re-
sponsibility for 1t Upon Some
Other.

From the Albany Argus.
People who have never been in love
are apt to doubt the existence of that
passion. He jests at scars that
never felt q wound" And so, people
who have never had the grippe are in
clined to think it is merely new
name for common cold. one writer
playfully suggests that evidently the
thing to do is for everyone to become
Il Christian scientist and firmly be-
lieve that no such disease as the
grippe exists" The fact is. however,
that the disease has been known and
described from the time of Hippo
crates who was born in the year AGO
B. c., and, though its name has been
changed at various periods, it has
always been a form of epidemic ca
tarrh, more or less severe, according
to circumstances. In 1910 it was called
"COccoluche," because the sick wore a
cap close over their heads. After
ward the Italian physicians named it
Influenza" and in later years the
French doctors gave it the name of la
grippe" though it seems best to re-
tain the French spelling of the word
when meaning this disease, so as to
distinguish it from other grips. 1t is
known all over the world, and there
is disposition i'm every nation TO
shift the odium Of it upon some other
country Thus the Russians call it
the Chinese catarrh, the Germans
often call it the Russian pest, the Ital-
ians name it the German disease, and
the French call IT sometimes the Ital-
ian fever and sometimes the Spanish
catrrh.
The occurrence of grippe, as we'll as
of most other epidemics, is apparently
connected with some particular condi-
tion or contamination of the atmo-
sphere, but what that condition is, or
what may be that kind of contamina-
tion, no one knows. The poisonous
influence, whatever its nature may be,
wings it's way with greater celerity
| than the speed of human intercourse.
while it's progress seems influenced by
the season OF the year, whether hot,
cold, damp or temperate; it is said to
travel from east to west, and it seldom
stays in one district more than six
| or seven weeks. Some visitations
have proved more severe than others;
! one in 1882. which extended over the
whole Of Europe, was very fatal; but

The action Of the Secretary of the
Treasury In ordering that the internal
revenue receipts of the government
shall be paid over to the National City
Bank of New York City, to use or dis
tribute as it sees fit, is one of the most
%oatrageout acts that has ever been done
by any Administration from the foun-
dalton Of this government. That bank
is the most powerful financial institu-
ti0ns in this country. Its capital stock
Is ten million dollars, and its deposits
average more than one hundred mil
lions. 1t is a bank made up Of railway
kings. For the favor granted, the Ma

to the government, and in return will
make enormous sums of money, for it
Is at liberty to put the money out at in
terest. This was brought about through
the influence of Hanna and his syndi-
cate of bond holders. Secretary Gage
had better read the past history of the
United States. He will find that there
was a United States bank issue that
made and unmade Presidents half a
century ago.

In the Presidents message to Con-
gress, in explaining his attitude of neu-
trality towards the South African war,
he said: "We have remained faithful
to the precepts, by avoiding e~ntangling
alliances as to affairs not of our direct
concern" He evidently forgot the
past history of this country. when ex-
pressions of American sympathy, both
official and popular, were made in fav-
Or of Poland, Hungary, Greece, Ar
menia and Cuba. Now, it is England,
whose feet we would tread upon byany
resolution of sympathy that might be
passed by Congress, and the republican
managers will see to it that no slight is
given to the British Empire.

The sympathy and support of the
newspaper publishers of the country
will go with Representative Bellamy's
(of North Garolina) effort to suppress
the greed Of the Paper Trust. He has
introduced a bill providing for the re-
peal of all duties on wood pulp and
other raw materials used in the manu-
facture of paper and also providing for
the reduction by one-half Of the duty
on manufactured paper. This bill is a
sturdy blow at the Paper Trust, which
has taken advantage of the tariff to in
crease prices and create a practical
monopoly, thus following out the usual
doctrine of monopolistic grabbing.

she was a hopeless victim of consumption

West New York Field Club went up
against a stiff game yesterday when it
played the Jersey City Baseball Club at
West End. and at the end Of the first
half of the tenth inning left the field af-
ter almost raising riot This was the
first time dirty ball and team of rank
kickers have been seen at West End, and
West New York Field Club deserves the
general condemna ton it is receiving. UNI
pire Joe Hart gave bad decisions on balls
and strikes but there was no favor His
rulings on put outs were good. Captain
Morehead of the West New Yorks
showed his wen known propensity to
| scrap, and was Kissed repeatedly. The
kick that ended the game was on de-
cision that Hart rendered on Dietrich.
The latter was running from second, and
O'Nefll who was coaching at third, adj
vised him to continue toward home on
Brush's hit The ball was fielded by Au-
gust to Wiley and Dietrich would have
been nailed at home plate. O'Neill saw
this, and after Dietrich had passed third
O'Ne.ll deliberately pulled him back, and
Hart called Dietrich out. Here the West
New Yorks left the field. There is con-
siderably discussion on the correctness of
the decision
The game. apart from the kicking, was
an excellent exhibition. Jersey City was
afraid of the visitors, and but for this and
very poor base running would have won.
The homo team got on to the fact that
they were not outclassed by any kind of a
margin after the game was half over,
and then started to play with confidence.
Terry played an unusually fine game and
made a big hit with the 1000 people pres
emf. 1t was snappy, quick work and the
best ball that has been seen in this city
in a long time The enthusiasm was very
great
In the third inning Bassford scored for
the visitors on a wild throw from August
to Wiley. Norton crossed in the fourth.
Jersey City, after failing twice when the
bases were full with none out, finally got
at Norton in the Seventh and got August
and Terry across. Norton was fast going
when the game ended. and there are but
few who do not believe Jersey City would
have won, as Norton was on rampage
to the clouds. There are number of fans
who are confident that Jersey City can
beat West New York in series, and a
match of thre games would be interesting.
