q mas moment Macpherson flung
himself from the back of the scram-
bling bronco and ran out on the
wreck of the timbering to look
down into the surging maelstrom
roaring through the gap. I looked,
too, and saw what he saw. In the
spume Of the caldron, clinging des-
perately to one of the half-sub-
merged logs of the wrecked Golfer
dam, was the engineer. 1 saw his
face upturned in the moonlight, and
it was the face of man whose life
had eaten out the fortitude where
with brave man may go to his
death.
And on the broken timbering
above, within arm's-reach of the
drowning man, Macpherson stood and
looked down upon him. He had but
to withhold his hand, and Gods ven
geance would fall swift and sure
upon the poor worm writhing on its
log in the reek and spume of the
whirlpool.

and the children of the prairie farms and
ranches gave an audible "Oh!" as the beau.
tiful green-paper-wrappe cottonwood,
lighted with candles and glistening with
tinsel, all brought from the city 400 miles
away, burst on their eyes. Many of them
had never seen an evergreen, and this was
a fultillment OF all their anticipations.
Before the tree stood the fairy, her wings
and robe making her almost ethereal in the
sight OF the little ones Behind was the
open mouth of chimney, and far off rang
the horn of Saint Nicholas as he approached
over the housetops on his sleigh. 1t was
cold enough outside for his biggest furs,
and when he came aboriously down the
chimney and stood amid the group on the
stage he was the very picture of the Santa
Claus of their dreams.
Swiftly he made the rounds of the tree,
and in cultural tones told the little folks
to help themselves. Then he did what was
not on the bills-he approached the fairy,
and in the same rough voice exclaimed:
You are to go with me on my travels to-
night. Come
For moment she stood rresolute, not
knowing if this were part of the programme.
Then, thinking it must be, she took the
heavily gloved hand, and, with bow to the
audience stepped back and back, until both
were swallowed up in the vast depth of the
chimney.
But they did not go upward. Santa Claus
opened door in the rear, and they we're
outside the noisy hall and in the dressing.
room.
Suddenly Santa Claus stripped off the
heavy wings and crown from the fairy, and
handed her her furs. Come with me-" he
said, masterfuly.
What do you mean?" she replied.
This and he threw down the mask and
wig, the fur coat and heavy gloves-before

BURNING THE CANDLE At BOTH ENDs.
That expressive saying not only sug-
gests the most rapid form of waste but
also the most foolish. When a woman
overtaxes her strength in any cause,
whether in the enjoyment of social
pleasures, or in the service of church or
charity, she is rapidly fastening to the
end of her public activity.
The proof of this is found right at
home. Young matrons who are not
dancing any more, church workers who
are no more active ; these have not Step-
ped aside because of loss of interest but
because of lack of strength.
There is not a weak woman who would
not like to be made strong again. There
is not a sick woman who would not like
10 be made we'll. And there is not the
least reason, in n~inety-eight cases out of
every hundred, why women should CON-
tinue to be weak and sick. The first
step to the re-establishment of the gen.
eral health is to establish the local
womanly health.

Who Posed as "A French Count.
NEW YORK, April 5.-At the Frsnch
consulate to-day it was denied that
Comte Robert de Domereu, a member
of the French chamber Of deputies,
would, under the law Of that country
be considered legally married simply
because a woman whom he had never
seen or heard of before. said she had
been welded to him in New York in
1892 and showed a certificate bearing
his name. 1T is absurd to think of
such a thing" said an officer connect
ed with the consulate. THE fact is.
this woman is the victim Of a rascal
who assumed the counts name and
title"
The count is a bachelor. Recently
he received a letter from a woman
signing herself Lizzie de Domereu,
who reproached him bitterly for hav-
ing deserted her after marrying her
in New York. The count was in

NORFOLK G. WESTERN RATES
Objected to by the New York Lumber
Dealers - Interstate Commerce
fTo ~, - seSSnr, Att,


NEW YORK, April 5.-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission is sitting
to hear the protests of New York lurl-
Der dealers who obtain their lumber
from West Virginia and Ohio against
what they deem the discriminating
freight rates Of the Norfolk & Western
railroad. These rates, it is claimed, are
much in excess of those charged by
other lines that have a less direct route
from the shipping points.
Robert w. Higgins, a lumber dealer
OF this city, told the commission that
the Norfolk & Western road charged
from six to seven cents more per thou
sand feet on shipments of oak and
poplar lumber than did the Chesapeake
& Ohio, the Baltimore & Ohio and the
Delaware. Lackawanna & Western
lines. Twice during the last two years
the Norfolk & Western has raised its
rate, making an increase in July, 1899,
of one cent, and a further increase six
months later Of half a cent.
