On Getting Acquainted.

Two lives moving in a mysterious orbit
are draw together, and for an instant,
or maybe forever after, whirl side by
side. We call the encounter an '.intro-
duction," and we usually proceed to stile
the wonder of it by impersonal talk Of
art, books or the drama. 1t is an every
day affair, and does not usually stir the
imagination. And yet to the connoisseur
in living, the meeting may be an event as
we'll as an episode; he is a discoverer
come to an unknown shore-it may be the
margin Of an unknown sea or not, but of
a certain it Is swung by new tides and
currents to be adventured and plumbed.
How can we, supercivilized out Of al
most all real emotion, develop the poten-
tial charm OF this first glimpse of a new
personality? 1t is guarded by conven-
tionality; the shutters are down; the door
Is barricaded; you nay knock in vain
with polite i~nterrogations and no n ap-
pears at the window. Must we perforce
set the house aire, smite or shrek aloud
to bring this strangers soul to his eyes
for one searching gaze face to face? The
time is so short we must greet and pass
on to the next; we exchange easy COM
monplaces, and then the'c nance vanishes.
Why not defy custom and boldly snatch
in that magic moment some satisfactory
taste of warm human intercourse?-Gelett
Burgess in Harper's Bazaar.

When he spoke it was to say some
thing remarkable:
'Is it always mysterious and fear
fully beautiful in these woods?" ne
asked.
1T is always beautiful here" she
said, speaking as If in a dream. "And
sometimes it seems unreal, and like
like a phantom world-as it does to-
night"
Never before had she spoken in the
" that she desired. It was her habit
to frame her speech in commonplace
words.

as II it might bear one up, does it
not?"
Barbara had a fancy, and INDUCED
herself in It.
"It will bear up any one whose heart
is light" she smiled. But, mind you.
it must have no care at all. It must
be as light as ether" y
would it bear you up?" he asked.
She shook her head m%ournfully, and
he said in q voice that moved her:
"And I should sink like q stone" It
seemed impossible for them to part
while that witch light cleaned upon
their enchanted wood, and when the
shadows grew. gray they became .
part Of them-like shadows they faded
from each others sight
z That night when Barbara went about
her duties and afterward when she
lay in her bed she found herself happy
with the elate and triumphant happi-
ness Of which she had dreamed. George
Caxton, her promised lover. seemed
a part of. the work-a-day world. Her
thoughts turned away from him in
spite Of her efforts to be loyal.
She felt sure she would meet the

out with a rash which was thought to
be measles. In q few days he had .

was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor

but / would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became . running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and

neighbour told me Of q case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla., I decided to
give it to my boy and in a short while

with little %credence, but not long after
ward the reputation Of the doctor received
a sudden and terrible vindication, as he
was himself later to yindicate it. almost
as terribly.
John Lewis, father of Evan Lewis.
champion wrestler of the United States.
known in the world Of sports everywhere,
was a prosperous m respected farmer
living in the vicinity of Ridgeway. a
man of sober life, of u%ndaunted courage.
and blessed with the tremendous physical
strength his son has inherited.
Sixteen years ago this fall he was re-
turning home after nightfall, having spent
the day assisting a friend in butchering.
The night was not dark, and When he
drew hear the haunted spot he determined
to cut across lots to reach his home. He
was approaching the stone wall at the
roadside to climb it when his attention
wa arrested by the sight of a figure
which seemed to have gathered itself to-
gether out of the just now %tenantless air,
and stood confronting him in a menacing
attitude. He knew of no enemy, and
highwaymen were unknown in that re-
tired quarter of the state. He decided
that it must be some m trying to
brighten him. So he hailed the figure, and
no response being made, he advanced
upon 1t. The figure did not bulge, but
stood a towering shape of blackness. a
gigantic, and grisly thing.
Some unaccountable awe and the UNI
canny hugeness of the thing made Lewis
decide to avoid a conflict, and drawing
his butcher knife from his pocket, he
started to pass by. when the figure, rails
ing an arm with a forbidding gesture,
stepped athwart his path. Obcying a
hasty impulse that was more of a CHASTITY
and soul chilling terror than it was anger,
Lewis let drive his keen knife, only to
find himself piercing the empty air.
In the morning a neighbor found Lewis
lying inside the stone val in a semi-con-
scious condition. OF what happened after
he had struck with the knife he had but
vague impressions. He said he had been
hurled in the air as if in the vortex of a
cyclone, pounded, beaten, crushed into
insensibility. Beyond the pain and the
