The charm Of the man she had loved
was about her. And she was steady

''You haven't troubled yourself to
hunt much," she said. but was sorry
before the words were uttered.
He didn't defend, nor even reply.
When he spoke again it was to re-
peat:
'Tm sick. I'm glad I found you"
In front of the Art institute he
staggered, and she half carried his
awful weight to the stone steps, so
he could sit down. He was half I'M

man came to help him.
"Take me to the Lexington" he
said.
1t would consume half year of
her savings. She knew that. But
she could not leave him.

maiden name, yet confessed the obi

Of him.
He was sick and tired. He was
"gone." The actors all know what
that means. He had lived too fast,
yielding too readily to the seduetions
of fattery and ease. And when the
doctors came out, and Kate met them

with that imperial demand a wife
may make, they told her:
HE will die."
She knew it would take all the
money she had scraped together in
these years of teaching, in these
years of writing, in these heroic years
of fight with fate. But she met it
without a murmur. She would at
tend him to the emu, and she would
bury him as the husband of an honest
woman should be buried.
And there was wonderful yelling
up of all the old love as she bent
above his pillow-the old thrill as she
touched him, the old wave of emotion
at his remembered caresses.
And two hours later he reused and
called for the manager. He was quite
calm now-and very white.
"You have my papers," he said.
my will and all the rest. This is my
wife. She gets everything"
They were serious. He gasped, laid
back and whispered: "She gets ev-
erything." Then he wandered, and
seemed counting again the Lady
Palline," for he told anew of the
glories of Como. And in the splen.
dor of it he was still.
They buried him, as she had
planned. They took all their orders
from her. But when she went to pay
the manager protested.
HE left money. I win turn it
over to you"
HE left money!" she exclaimed. 1t
had never occurred to her.
Certainly-thousands
And he had. There were the shares
of stock in good companies. There
were the deeds to houses. There were
the treasures in safety vaults, and the
cash in the managers hands.
Prodigal, profiigate, bad-if you
will-he had saved fortune.
And little Kate Raymond, dropping
at last her maiden name, came from
the cemetery a rich woman.
And her heart was breaking, for
the man who had won her fancy IL
years ago had won her woman's love
anew. And she bowed her head in an
guish that she had lost him.

DON'T PAY for Another's Dinner.

"Order what you want; pay for what you

Lackawanna Railroad is advertising its new
dining-car service. The aptness Of the
phrase is apparent when it is understood
that the traveller may order from the most
complete menu, and yet pay for nothing he
does not want. In addition, low-priced club
meals are served individually from IS cents
carte features are virtually combined. All
through trains to Buffalo, Chicago and st.
Louis are equipped with dining-cars, and
the service is admitted to be second to none

CObwebs and Cuts.

An old time remedy to stop blood
flowing from a cut is to put cobwebs
over it, but from recent discovery 1t ap-.
pears n dangerous thing to do. Some
time ago woman fell and cut her
head. and when her friends hurried to
her assistance they found the blood
flowing from deep cash. Cobwebs
were applied. and the bleeding quickly
stopped but in a few days the woman
was taken with lockjaw.
A scientist declared there were lock-
Jaw germs in cobwebs, and that was
the way the woman contracted the dis
ease. He has made quite study OF
tie subject and says that in handful
of cobwebs he found 81 different dis
ease germs. That being true. it Is very
easy to see how one could get not only
lockiaw. but many other dreadful dis
eases, as the cobweb is placed right on
an open wound and the germs can en-
ter the blood. Cobwebs form in dark,
dirty places, and 1t is not to be- Won
dered that they gather germs. - Ex-

The log of a Ship.

A ships log is an instrument for
measuring the rate at which the vessel
Is going and consists of three parts
viz, the log chip, the log line and the
log glass. The principle is simply this:
A light substance thrown from the
vessel ceases to partake of the motion
of the vessel as soon as it strikes the
water and will be left behind on the
surface after a certain interval If the
distance of the ship from this station
ary object be measured, the approx
mate rate of sailing will be given.
The log chip is the float. the log line
is the measure of the distance. and the
log glass defines the interval of time.
In the old days the heaving Of the log
required skill and watchfulness, but
since the patent log has come into use
no skill is required in finding the speed
Of a vessel. 1t Is regulated by clock
work, and the number of knots the ves-
sci sails per hour is recorded on the
dial without any hand touching 1t.

The "Camel's Hair" Brush.

Contrary to the belief of most peo-

lists has nothing of the camel in it,"
said manufacturer of soft brushes to
a writer the other day. There was a
time when real camels hair was used
for the purpose. The ship of the des-
ert, however. has long been superseded
by the nomely little squirrel. Not only
is squirrels hair very much less costly,
but it is better, softer, more pliable and
far more durable. At the present day
1t is doubtful if you could find a pound
of camefs hair in all the brush facto-
ries in this country. However, there is
no cause for fear that the graceful lit
tie squirrel will be eXterminated. 1t is
the European squirrel that furnishes
the hair for the brushes. the covering

BARRE, VT, MARCH II, 1901

Since the unique and interesting
crusade against saloons was begun In
Kansas by Mrs. Nation the question
is often asked as to what the exact
situation is and what are the grounds
upon which these new visilantes base
their claim that they are in the right.
1t is hardly just to criticise them too
severely with out knowing all the cir
cumstances notwithstanding the
self evident proofs of fanaticlsm.
Charles M. Hanger, a native
of Kansas, defines the status of
the question in very concise manner.
He says Kansas has prohibition 10
theory, with local option in practice.
The prohibitory amendment was pass
ed in 1880 and for several years the
law was enforced. Prosecution of
cases discovered loop holes in the law
and the statute was strengthened.
Yet the law was defed. There were
no open saloons, not even in The Cities
Then came the hard times of the 90'S.
The towns and villages were pressed
for revenue. The taxes were not suf.
fcient. Then was introduced the sys-
TEN of fines, which prevails so univer-
sally ia the administration of cities.
"Joints" were permitted to exist and
were fined from 1925 to $40 per month,
the revenue helping the towns to get
out of debt. There we're prosecutions
and fines. The courts were slow in
administering justice. In many cases
the officers were cooperating with the
saloon keepers. The "pocket book"
argument was made and public senti
ment sustained it. Public sentiment
permitted the open saloons in the Cit
les oa the license system; the law pro-
hibited them. With these conditions
prevailing, Mrs. Nation appeared upon
the scene and forced the 'irrepressihle
conflict" Whether or not Mrs. Ma
tion has changed public sentiment Mr..
Hanger does not say. He contents
himself with stating facts.

The curiosity of the public has good
reason to be aroused over conjecture
as to what tactics the State Local Or
tion League proposes to adopt in their
crusade against the probibitory law.
If their projected movement proves to
be an honest fight to bring about re-
aIization of their cherished hopes for
what they believe to be right then
they deserve the respect Of those who
take different stand, but if, on the
other hand, they shou d in the slight
esT degree lend encouragement to the
violation of any statute, they will
cease to merit the right of existence
