membered to have seen before. Jim
had always understood that it was not
the proper thing to salute a young
woman in a public place, but for this
occasion he made an exception. He
was going to show Bob Garrison that
he was not SO slow after all. A moment
later he looked up to see a second
Gladys standing beside him with a
curious smile on her lips. For just a
second doubt crossed his mind, but
then he recollected the miniature and
smiled complacently. Out went his
hand to her in frank brotherly greet
ing. Presently he became aware OF
Garrison lowering in the background
shaking a fist at him, and introduced
him with slight momentary confusion.
After which the party gaily drove
home in a cab.
Blake devoted himself to Miss
Gladys with a lover-like ardor which
left nothing to be desired. At the
house the young ladies left them for
a few minutes while they departed for
their rooms to make a change Of toilet.
Luckily for Jim the miniature was
still in evidence when they returned,
so that he was sure of his betrothed;
otherwise, even he was forced to con-
fess, there was not a pin to choose be-
tween them. While they had been
absent Jim had taken occasion to make
some remarks about the sure instinct
of love for finding it's mate. He as

the eyes of his Gladys had set his
doubts at rest entirely, with some more
of the same kind of talk. AS for Gar

Jim had made no mistake, because he
expected to lay siege to the vacant
heart at once.
By what he considered most adroit
management Blake succeeded in get

he discovered a few minutes later. AS
they were going down the steps her
sister called him back and handed him
a note and a sweet, sphinx-like smile
What the note said was this:

The business done In mouse whisk-
efs is considerable this year, for they
are used in the making of the won
derful new fly for fishermen-the new
gray gnat." And they are expensive
nearly 2 cents per whisker. Trout rise
very much better at mouse whisker
flies than at the same "gnat" dressed
in jungle-cock hackles, which look
very much like them. The trade of
artificial fly making is the lightest-
fingered business in the world, and it
is not one man or woman out of five
thousand who can learn to tie flies.
These tyers are remarkable for the
beauty and delicacy of their hands,
and only the cleverest of fingers can
deal with the "niggling" work of knot
ting hairs that can hardly be seen. In
making a fly the earth has to be ran
sacked for precisely the correct feath-
ers and hairs, and one hair wrong will
make all the difference. 1t takes an

MUST DO THEIR WORK WELL.
Incompetent Dentists Liable to Damages
for Their BungIinR.

for Their Bungling.
The courts are taking cognizance of
the competency or incompetency of
professional men. A short time ago
a New York tribunal held that a ply
stefan was liable for unskillful or neg
ligent treatment Of a patient and now
the court of appeals of that state has
rendered a decision holding a car
poration liable for unskillful dental
work. This corporation, according to
the complaint, represented that it car
ried on the practice of dentistry in con-
nection with it's other departments.
The plaintiff, a woman, having under
gone treatment, sued for alleged re-
sultant injury and received a verdict.
Apparently the defence of the corpora
ton was that the dental business was
not, in fact, carried on by it, but was
owned by the dentist. But the court
held that the company having held it
self out as carrying on a dental de
partment and the plaintiff having beer
ignorant of the fact that the company
was not the real owner Of the dental
department, the corporation was
estopped from making such a denial
For, under the circumstances, the court
said that the plaintiff had a right to
rely not only On the presumption thai
the company would employ a skillfu
dentist as it's servant, but also on the
fact that if that servant, the dentist
whether skillful or not, was guilty
of any malpractice, she had a respon
sible party to answer therefor in dam
ages.-Chicago Chronicle.

Garrison examined the photograph
long and earnestly, as the ethics OF the
situation seemed to require.

Thanks, awfully. BY the way,
which is the sister? To me they look

Blake flushed. "The ueuce of 1T is

They're twins, you know. l met Gladys
one summer in the A~dirondacks. That
was two years ago, and though we be-
came engaged l haven't seen her

"And when did you see the other one
last? What's her name-Nell?" asked
Garrison.

I've heard a great deal about her from
Gladys in her letters. In n way 1t

the extent of your acquaintance with
her she probably wouldn't thank you
for disposing of her matrimonially,
though. Girls are a little odd that
way. They like to meet the nan they

been my experience with American
girls"

She'll lead you a merry chase, too, if
she is anything like her sister," re-

posedly.
Robert Garrison examined the
photograph again, and when he hand

my friend, I see your finish. When
those girls get off the train you won't
know one from the other. You'll get

shooting. Go slow, my ION. 1t doesn't

Blake scoffed. ooh, I'll know Gladys
when 1 see her. What do you take
me for? They are not so much alike
as all that. and there is always h

gloves, so you need not bank on the
ring. No, you're going to put your

With which advice Mr.. Bob Garri-
son got up and danced a cheerful can
can IN the hearth, after which he took
his departure, promising to join his
friend next day at the depot.
Unfortunately Blake was of a nerv-
Gus disposition, and he began to con-
ceive the dreadful results of making
a mistake. He told himself the thing
was impossible, but it worried him
just the same. Two years are two
years, and in that time a girl develops
into a young woman. Certainly in the
photograph he could not make sure
which of the girls was Gladys. Some
times it seemed to him that the n on
the right was undoubtedly she, then
again he was just as sure that the
other one was his betrothed. He had
seen her look exactly like both OF
them. The more he looked at it the
more it seemed to him that the two
pair Of dancing yes in the photograph
challenged him mockingly for an an
swer. Finally he threw it down in
despair.
I'm making a mountain out of a
m~olehill," he assured himself. when
l see the girls I'll know which is
Gladys fast enough. It's just like
Bob to try and worry me about it
I'll just fool him this trip"
Nevertheless he found himself wip
ing the drops of ~perspiration from his
brow at the mere thought of the pos
sibilities.
He did not find the situation any
more tolerable next day at the depot
Bob Garrison vas on hand, full OF
badinage and advice as to the best
way of getting out of it. He seemed
to take it for granted hat Blake wa
going to make a mistake, and by the
time the train drew in Jim had allowed
himself to be badgered into a condi
ton in which he would hardly have
recognized his own father.
Blake saw a vision of loneliness de
scending the car steps which he recog
nized at once as Gladys. There coulC
be no doubt about it, and he went for
ward with radiant face and out
stretched hand. She even wore
brooch with a miniature set in it Of

Tread softly; bow the head
In reverent silence DOW!
No passing bell doth toll;
Yet an immortal soul
Is passing now.
Stranger, however great,
With lowly reverence bow!
There's one in that poor shed
One by that paltry bed
Greater than thou.
Beneath that beggar's roof,
Lob Death doth keep his state!
Enter! No crowds attend
Enter! No guards defend
This palace gate.
That pavement, damp and cold,
No smiling courtiers tread;
One silent woman stands,
Lifting with meager hands
A dying head.
No mingling voices sound
An infant wall alone;
A sob suppressed-again
That short deep ~gasp-and then
The parting groan.
Oh! change-oh! wondrous change!
Burst are thy prison bars!
This moment there, SO low,
So agonized-and now
Beyond the stars.

There lies the soulless clod!

The new immortal wakes
Wakes with his God.
