There is always an opportunity ~ a

between partners.

whispered, when they were at their
places again.
What is it,"
First four forward and back again"
And away they went.
When next tLey hau an opportunity
SIC thrust into his hand an item
clipped from a newspaper.
1t was of a young soldier carried

"Queenie, Queenie, oh, my long-lost
loved one, shall ! never see you more?"
WAS that you?" she asked.
YES" he answered.
Then he took her aand. 1t trembled.
and her azure eyes grew dim.
Balance ALL"
1t was several minutes before either
could speak.
The sweet-tuned violin, accompanied
by the piano, poured forth such soul
stirring music as can be found only
in that precious old air, Haste to the
Wedding"
He was about to speak when the
musician calling off" shouted:
Gents to places-all promenade"
1t gave him an opportunity to re-
cover himself, and when next they
glided across the room he whispered:
Say, Queenie, will you keep that old
promise you made long ago."
She looked up at him, smiling
through her tears.
Ten years of misery and suffering
had passed since he held that hand.
Oh, it was reward for all that suffer-
ing!

pered, taking from his vest pocket the

II A HARVEST.
Over 100000 Pounds OF Human Hair.
Used Annually.

Over 100000 Pounds of Human Hair
Used Annually.
Perhaps there is no staple article
about which less is known by the av-
erge person than human hair as an
article of commerce. 1t will doubtless
surprise many when it is stated that
the dealers in human hair goods do
not depend on chance clippings here
and there, but that there is a regular
hair harvest that can always be relied
upon. 1t is estimated that over 49,
100000 pounds of human hair are used
annually in the civilized world for
adjoining the heads Of women, says a
writer in the Toledo Courier. Two
thirds of the ladies nowadays use false
hair, o or less. The decree of
fashion or the desire to conceal a de-
feet or heighten a charm is the reason,
Of course. One woman, for instance,
has a high forehead and wishes to re-
duce it in appearance. Another has
worn off the front hair by continued
frizzing. and would like to conceal the
fact. Both make use of front or top
piece, with a choice OF many styles.
Ladies' wigs cost from $40 to 500.
Half wigs, top pieces and switches,
from SIS to $50, according to quality.
The rarest supply of hair comes
from Switzerland, Germany and the
French provinces. There is a human
hair market in Merlans, in the depart
ment of the lower Pyrenees, held ev-
cry Friday. Hundreds of hair traders
walk up and down the one street OF
the village, their shears dangling
from their belts, and inspect the
braids which the peasant girls, stand
ing on the steps of the houses, let
down for inspection. If a bargain is
struck the hair is cut and the money
paid on the spot, the price varying
from fifty cents to SIS in our money.

Then her eyes closed again and she
sank into a troubled sleep"
Next morning she was tossing with
fever, and for three months knew
nothing of what was going on around
her. One bright October day she OPP
ened her eyes and looked searchingly
into Phebe's face. The faithful woman,
wearied by her long vigils, was nod
ding in her chair by the bedside.

exclaimed in a weak voice.
Phebe started up with a stifed cry.

Gladys asked.

Fourteen weeks!" She lay thinking
the wonderful fact over, then turned

an? l am ~famishing."

SAINT.

-H.T.
The real thing-perhaps the only
real thing-in a Mahometan saint
turned Christian is dead. Speculations
may now be INDUCED in by the devo-
tees Of two religions whether the dead,
saint is enjoying himself more in his
present state than if he had died in
the old faith. I~mad-Ud-Din, the
proselyte, came of an old family,
which had for many generations held
its head high among the Mahometans
of the Punjab. In early life he ac-i

devotees, he revolted from the system.

to the same faith himself. Sensation,
was created when, in 1866, this Ma
hometan saint wa baptized as
Christian. In 1868 Bishop Milman8 adj
mitted him to deacon's orders. His.
learning, piety and zeal for years
made him onesof the most conspicuous
figures in the evangelistic work OF the
church In North India. In 1884 Arch
bishop Benson conferred the Lam
beth degree OF D. D. upon him. A
paper sent by: him to the "Parliament
of Religions at Chicago in 1898 was
one OF the most striking utterances
heard at that curious gathering.

Forsaking all Others

HAPTER III.-(continued.

CHAPTER IH.-(Continued.)
inFtruth poor Harvey. in many ways
a boy still. needed the comfort the
woman he adored alone could give; in
her presence he was speedily cheered
and sOothed.
It's an ugly story, darling" she
said, but no one knows it. And the
situation is substantially the same;
you are your grandfather's heir NOR
ally, If not legally, and surely your
mother will not let you suffer all your
life for her fault-no woman in her
position could be SO wicked"
Harvey WINGED. Only the other day
he had thought that mother little
lower than the angels. Helen saw that
even she might speak too plainly, and
took another tone. But inwardly she
rejoiced that the woman she had felt
was her superior had not always lived
above reproach. The knowledge prom
ised a certain hold upon her, and in
her manner toward Gladys when next
they met there was a hint of power
and a measure of contempt the latter
found it hard to bear.
Harvey's demeanor, too, had altered.
For days he looked pale and grave.
Although perfectly respectable to his
mother he spoke to her as seldom as
possible, addressing most of his re-
marks, when the little family met at
table. to his wife. Gladys sympathized
with his mood, and waited patiently
for it to pass. She knew how CALLED
his proud spirit must be; still, as the
monotonous days crawled by, bringing
no change, she began to feel very
lonely.
She would have consoled herself
with the baby had she been allowed to
do SO, but Helen had her own ideas,
wise ones, all Of them, on the subject
Of child rearing. 1t made an infant
precocious, she said, to notice them too
much; his intellect should be allowed
to develop gradually. AS for the in
n nonsense called baby talk. no child
of hers should listen to it. Good En-
glish was just as simple and far more
sensible. And Gladys, who would have
cooed the sweet mother jargon by the
hour, all the world forgetting save the
smiling mite in her arms, knew that a
reproof was intended: and accepting it,
left Harvey's baby to Harvey's wife.
Had she been a strong-minded wom-
an she would have have risen above
her trials and found happiness in her
own occupations; but she was only a
gentle, clinging creature to whom love
was as the breath of life. That gone,
nothing remained.
She wondered sometimes how Har-
vey, even though displeased, could neg
lect her SO. In the past they had been
everything to each other. Now he sell
dom gave her a thought; his wife was
his all in all. Helen's GOODNESS did not
hurt her; she was not of her blood,
and she had no claim on her affection;
but she had given her life to Harvey,
and his indifference was hard to bear.
One cold, rainy day Phebe found her
crying in her private parlor, which was
divided from her sleeping and dressing
rooms by a wide hall. The curtains
were drawn and the spacious apart
ment usually SO pretty in its tints of
crimson and blue seemed cold and
gloomy.

breath: 'Queenie, Queenie, oh, my
long-lost loved one!' No doubt this
piteous appeal wrung from a noble
heart vas to some faithless sweet
heart who had deserted him years be-
FORE
This simple little paragraph had
been copied and recopied, and dis
cussed, AMI made the theme for count
less stories and ballads.
But Jack, who uttered it. didn't die.
He lived to return to America, was
h%onorably discharged, and resolved 10
pass another Thanksgiving in the old
neighborhood where his young days
had been spent. So he returned, after
an absence Of nearly ten years, and
raj at the house of his rather on this
evening, gazing sadly into the fire
which seemed to reflect his own ach-
ing heart.
What was life to him now?
That chief charm, that only light
to his soul, had gone out. leaving all
gloom and darkness.
He was like an old man.
His hair, once dark as the ravens
wing, showed traces OF silver in it,
and his face, SO handsome. clear and
fresh, now had the lines OF care upon
1t.
Though he sometimes smiled and as
sumed an appearance Of gayety, his
mother knew that his heart was sad.
But that mother had a hope that
happiness would yet dawn on her son.
She had a piece Of intelligence she
had nos broken to him. Queenie Gra-
ham, after an absence of ten years,
had returned to visit an aunt.
There was to be a great Thanksgiv-
ing party at Jacks grandmother's, the
Oldest lady In the neighborhood, at
which she was to invite all the young
folks. tor Grandma Goodwin" took
great pleasure in young people.
Queenie would no doubt be there,
and she determined that Jack should
meet her. The mother knew that her
sons pride would keep him away il
he knew Queenie II to be there, SO
she kept that surprise a secret from
him.
She little knew how love had hum
bled Jacks pride.
In the vest pocket of the veteran, he
carried the self same ring which
Queenie had thrust back on him ten
years before. It was next his heart
when he stormed San Juan hill. and
he hoped II he vas slain the bullet
would pass within the golden circle
Of his youthful love, and that he might
die with her name on his lips.
But fate destined Jack to live He
was once more home. among friends
who had crowded about to hear him
