His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He

without benefit. Then he was advised

A Wonderful Offer to Women.

We have received word OF most remark.
able offer which 10 to DO made TO women by
The Delineator. OF New York.
Taking the fact that next wear begins .
oew century, The De!ineator offers 10 distri-
butte $l7,500 among 1901 women. The plan
10 so ceverly arranged that woman living in
q small town or village, has just ss good q
chance to win one OF these 1901 prixes % .
woman living in u eity-becsuse the prizes
are given for the number OF subscriptions
secured IN town in proportion 70 the popu-
latlon OF that town, instead of being given
simply to those who send the largest list Of
subscrbers-which, Of courpe, are most easily
obtained in big cities. Another clever feature
Of the plan is. that all the cities and towns OF
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes. The cities Of tho
greatest population are grouped in Class l.,
and as these cities arc not very many the
prizes offered are twenty eight the high.
est prize being $500, and the lowest $500.
The total amount of prizes given away in this
class is 1000. The remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into six other classes. and as
the number OF towns in class increases be-
cause, OF course, there are more small towns
than large ones, the amount OF prizes given
away to a class increases, 80 that in Class I.
there will be $4,000 distributed among col
winners
Furthermore, to everyone who fails 70 win
one OF the 1901 prizes there will b paid an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every two hundred in.
habt,nts of the town from which the con.
testint sends them.
This is altogether a very liberal offer, and
enc which the famous old Delineator is well
able TO make good From our point Of view,
We do not see why such an offer needs TO be
made by the Publishers Of The Delineator. for
we believe it already has nearly half q million
subscribers. Its strong hold upon the affec.
tons of American women has come In the
past generation from its practical advice
about dress details and home matters.

A Modern Fable.

A young woman In New York
went to one of the large dry goods
stores one fine day and bought sew
eral articles, rendering in payment,
as she supposed, the exact amount
she owed. Two days later she was
surprised to get a letter inclosing
the firms check for 81. 1t seems that
she had given the salesman one bill
too many. She told her husband of
this incident when he came home
that night. Next day she told her
sister, her brother and her sister-in-
law. Her dearest friends to the
number OF tourscore knew within a
week that every one was treated
with scrupulous honesty at this
particular store. In fact, that 81
check paid tor SIoo worth of good
advertising.-SPatuLa.

ed for his madness.
His eyes fell on a revolver hang
ing against the wall. But he turned
away with grim smile; he was not
the sort to run away from trouble
when he found himself face to face
with it. He was no coward, at least.
Then, with an exclamation, he
seized letter which was stuck up
on the mantleshelf-probably put
there by his servant on the previous
evening.
1t was letter from his dear little
girl after all! For a minute or two
he hardly dared open it {; then he tore
it open, and read it's short contents
with eager eyes.
II should have written to you be-
fore now, my dearest-for you are
always that-only have been very
ill, and am only now up on the sofa,
and can only write you these few
lines to say that love-dear; l love
you so much that l must do what
seems to me the only thing left for
me to do, and that is to give you
your freedom. / don't blame you,
dear-I shall never think badly of
you. Always, believe that love
you better than anything on earth.

Dear Little Girl"
Twice he read the little heart.
broken letter. A knock on his door
awoke him from his miserable
thoughts with start.
Eight o'clock, sir" said his serv-
ants voice.
Come in, Stevens" he shouted, as
a sudden idea flashed upon him.
Put some things up in my bag. I
may be away for a day or two, and
just get my serge out, will you?
He was still in his mess dress, but
his man paid no attention to that in
few minutes he was in his usual
undress uniform and striding over
to the Colonel's quarters.
Obtaining three days leave he was
able to catch the night mail from
Kingstown to Holyhead, and the
next afternoon saw his arrival at
the little house where his dear little
girl had struggled back to the plain
of life, which at present seemed
shorn of all its gladness.
He walked straight in; there was
no one to be seen, and opening the
door gently stole into the room
where his dear little girl was lying
looking out at the distant blue sea,
with such sad, tired eyes.
She looked around as she heard
the door shut, and a cry burst from
her lips-a cry which brought Ter
ence to her side, and the next minute
he was down on his knees, holding
her to his heart, and kissing the
cheeks which had grown so thin and
pale.
my sweet" he cried, "only tell
me that you forgive me! Oh, darl-
ing, 1 have been nearly mad since l
wrote that letter to you! Can you
ever forget and take it backp You
shall know all, dearest, only tell me
that you love me, first"
"That is such very stale story"
she whispered family, with smile
which told him that the gates of
Eden had opened to him once again.
