Copyright, 1901. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
IL was an early December twilight,
and snow, which had been rain an hour
before, beat against the car windows
and stuck there in large, soft flakes.
Ii followed the conductor in at the
door in a sleety gust, and the girl in
the third seat shivered and drew the
imitation sables closer about her
throat.
Steve Patterson glanced from under
the visor of his conductors cap at his
one lady passenger. She was not a
pretty girl, according to Steve's stand
ards. Her face was too small and
pale under the shadow of her big hat.
When she boarded the car two hours
earlier there had been an excited
brightness In her eyes and a faint
color in her cheeks. Now she leaned
back against the seat, tired and inert,
and there was pathetic droop at the
corners of her mouth AS she glanced
up at him shyly Steve thought OF
kitten that he had fished out of
horse pond years ago, and he smiled
at the comparison as he passed on into
the next car.
A little later he came back. The
rattle and creaking of the train had
stopped.

planned to the three men in the front
OF the car. The he smiled reassuring-

"'Tain't nothin to be scared about,

the arm of the seat oposite. Just

twain a little patience" he added
jocosely as drummer swung himself
out, growing as he went.

Fancy Is Busy.

When viewing Coronets the PublI>
Fancy Is Busy.
Coronets are a delusion and a snare.
The gold and silver smiths of London
are now busy making headdresses for
the peers who will be present when
King Edward is crowned. In popula-
Imagination a peer is supposed to wear
his coronet frequently and hang it on
his bedpost when he goes to bed. AS
q matter of fact the majority of peers
found, when the subject of the corona
tion came up, that there was not a
single coronet about the house. So
they gave orders for the making of
these ornamental appenGages to rank
and they do not propose to spend much
money on them either Ordinarily a
peer can wear jewels in his coronet.
But If a peer not of royal blood ap-
peared before the king with his head
piece cleaning with precious stones
nobody knows what would happen;
something awful, no doubt, to the Brit
ish constitution. Such a catastrophe
Is averted by wearing on occasions
such as a coronation. coronets studded
with lozenges of gold to represent dia-
monds and silver balls to represent
pearls. The dukes will have a lot of
these little gold lozenges in their cor
onets and the marquises will call upon
those of lesser degree to imagine the
little silver balls on the spikes of their
official topnots to be pearls of great
price. A viscount will demand still
more of the populace. for he will have
fourteen silver knobs around his cor
onet and will ask that he be consid-
cred as wearing "a circlet of gold en-
riched with jewels" A really first
class coronet, warranted to wash like
those which are being prepared for the
coming coronation of King Edward,
can be bought for $3.50. That is said
to be the average price which is being
paid for them now in London.-New
York Press.

WATER DRINKING.

When 1t is understood that the body
is made up very largely of water 1t
can readily be understood how import
ant to health Is a constant supply of
this fluid. Many people have a notion
that the drinking of water In any
amount beyond that actually neces-
essary to quench thirst Is injurious,
and acting on this belief they endeav.
or TO drink as little as possible. Tho
notion. however, is wide of the truth.
Drinking freely of pure water is
most eficacious means not only of
preserving health, but often of restor-
ing 1t when failing. All the tissues
of the body need water, and water in
abundance Is necessary also for the
proper performance OF every vital
function. Cleanliness of the tissues
within the body is as necessary to
health and comfort as cleanliness OF
the skin, and water tends to insure the
one as truly as 1t does the other. 1t
dissolves the waste material, which
would otherwise collect in the body,
and removes 1t in the various excre-
tions. These waste materials are
often actual poisons, and many
headache, many rheumatic pains and
aches, many sleepless nights and list
less days, ard many attacks OF the
blues" are due solely to the circu-
lation in the blood or deposit in the
tissues Of tte-e waste materials,
which cannot be got rid OF cause of
an insufficient supply of water. Water
is accused Of making fat, and people
with tendency to corpulCnce avoid
II for that reason But il is not strict
ly true. II does undoubtedly often in
crease the weight, but It does so be-
cause 1t improves the gestion and
therefore more Of the food eaten is
utilized and turned into fat and flesh.
But excessive fat which we call cor
pulence, is not a sign of health. but of
faulty digestion and assimilation. and
systematic water drinking Is often
employed as meaas of reducing the
superfiuous fat-which ii sometimes
does with astonishing rapidity.-
