coverer of the medical properties OF
milk. FIR. Robinson has suffered q
great many years with nervous dis
ease which specialists have been I'M
able to benefit. Because, as he says,
he was tired of everything, includ-
ing eating, he determined little more
than month ago to forego solid food
and live on milk. The success Of his
experiment has more than surprised
him. In the month that he has lived
without solid food of any kind he has
gained eight pounds in weight and his
nervous disease has disappeared. He
drinks ten quarts of milk a day.

Feast for q village.

In the Pyrenees mountains the
brown bear, which is as commonly
found there as it is in the Rocky noun
tains of our country, is looked upon
with feeling akin to worship. When
n hunter kills a bear he has done a
very great thing indeed. He sends
word to all his friends and they assem-
BILE to celebrate the occasion. All the
village turns out to greet the return
ing huntsman and lend a hand at the
stout pole on which bruin is carried.
When the town is reached the bear is
united and set upright on cart with q
stick between its paws and a pipe in
it's mouth and a hat upon its head.
Then a procession is formed, led by
the hunters, and the bear is conveyed
to the town hall to the strains of an
old bear ballad sung by the crowd.
There toasts are drunk and then the
folk get to business. The bear is
weighed, skinned and cut up into por-
tions, which are shared among the
peasants, who think bear ham the
primest of food-and, indeed, there is
every reason why it should be.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

a thing? Fortunately she remembered

a thing? Fortunately she remembered
that there was still something worse;
to make a scene and call public atten-
ton to the fact. She had no choice but
to ignore the transaction and appear
unconscious Of the mans existence.
She knew that her cheeks were burn
ing. but she clenched her hands inside
her muff and looked neither to the
right nor to the left.
Bessie had always been quick-tem-
pered. AS a small girl, when she got
into a passion, her mother used to
make her repeat poetry until she
auieted down. She had kept up the
practice, of herself, in later years,
finding it wholesome and easy disci-
pline. She tried it now, and became
so absorbed that her tingling nerves
soon found relief.
BY that time, the stranger who had
come to her rescue had left the car,
to her great satisfaction. Her ride
was q long one, and before reaching
home she was cool enough to con-
clude that, except for staring at her,
the man had done q kind action In
q gentlemanly way.
"He meant well enough, I dare
saw" she told herself, "but If ever
see him again I shall pay him that
five cents, or die"
It was with this resolve that for
weeks and months she kept con-
slant lookout for the unknown. All
in vain, however; Notwithstanding
the fact that he carried away with
him a mental photograph of charm
ing face, framed in a fluff Of brown
hair, with large brown eyes, aud
rosebud mouth, quivering with the
look of a frightened child, a face
which he told himself he could not
fail to recognize wherever he might
see 1t.
Nearly a year afterwards Bessie
Ayres went to neighboring city to
officiate as maid-of-honor at the mar
rage of her fathers niece. There
was to be round Of gayeties, OF
luncheons and dinners and theater
parties. and she found the bride-elect
bemoaning the fact that the best

city. Seriously, Miss Ayres, l have

said, softly, when he paused.

SHE SAID.

of the firm is i'll, and in Europe, and
only Mr.. Benson can fill his place.
AS it is, he comes and goes at night,
so as not to DE away but one day"
Bessie was not pleased. In spite
of the serene confidence felt by every
one else that whatever Mr.. Benson
did was sure to be done well, she had
her misgivings, and the maid-of-
honor plays n responsible part at q
fashionable wedding. Still she was
wise, and held her peace.
The all-important day came. The
bride was a radiant vision in "sheen
of satin and simmer of lace" and
Bessie, after completing her own
toilet, turned away from the mirror
with the sustaining consciousness
that she, also, did credit to the fam
lily reputation for beauty; pink and
silver became her marvelously well.
Mr.. Ross and his best man were
waiting at the foot of the wide stair
case, as the bride and her attendant
came down for the start to the
church.
"Miss Ayres, Mr.. Benson"
Lloyd Benson instantly recognized
the girl of the street car. Bessie did
not raise her eyes-as her father al
ways said, she was q person OF one
idea ut a time. Just now that idea
was the duty of the hour. She bowed
mechanically, and attended to the
brides train instead of looking at
the man who handed her into the
carriage.
1t was not until the ceremony had
passed off beautifully, the wedding
breakfast was over, and bride and
groom had departed for Mexico, in a
shower of rice and rosebuds, that
Bessie found time for a really good
look at her fellow-second in. the
great event.
Once more a pair Of blue-gray eyes,
twinkling with amusement, met hers.
For an instant Bessie felt dizzy, and
a startled look of recognition swept
across her face, then she recovered
herself and smiled.
