thrilled at the cruel doubt, but her

anchor which held fast the poor little

Barbara was alone when she recov-

Tine Man Who Was Not Looking for
Medical Advice.


Among the senators in Paris Is q
certain doctor who has a private dis
pensary. His dignity does not pre-
vent him from taking ARE Of the
needy sick, and his consulting rooms
remain open as usual.
A few days age two persons eniereS,
one of whom complained of pains In
the chest.
"Undress," said the medical senator,
and a few minutes later he was busy
examining the heart and lungs Of his
visitor.
Wanting to save time, he called to
the other man who was waiting:
"You had better undress in the
meantime"
The man began to say something,
but the senator cut him short
Never mind, just do as / tell you

The same question was in Milton
Lemons heart as he entered Travis
Meredith's room to say that he had
fulfilled his vow--that he had found
Avice; but how? but where?
Brayely he told the story through,
then his strength and his manhood
gave way. He leaned his head upon
his folded arms, and sob after sob
rent his chest and echoed through the
silent room.
* could better have seen her dead"
he said, at last-"at peace in her
coffin, than kneeling at that mans
side, praying that he might live whom

"oh, Milton. 1t cannot be true-it

our faith upon one that every sense
we have proclaims unworthy? God
knows that | have chung to hope as
the drowning man TO a straw. but
now I am cast adrift in the seething
current, and ask only for forgetfui-
ness"
He had barely finished speaking
when q knock sounded at the door.
Travis opened 1t and took from a
man, whom he instantly recognized
as belonging to Miss st. Johns house

then started back aghast.

Travis, solemnly. "but ~perchance

knees and thank God 1t has passed.
But come. we have no time to lose"
An hour later the two friends stood
in the same house which sheltered
Avice.
She had awakened. and was lying.
her eyes fastened upon Florence's
face, when she heard without the door
the quick, firm tread for whose COM
ing she had so often listened.
Her face grew deadly pale as The
door swung back and her brother IN
tered the room. She made no cry,
no motion, but when he released her
from his close and silent embrace
they found that she had swconed upon
his breast.

The Fortunate Girl.

The girl with dark chestnut hair and eyes and clear white complexion Is fortunate. for she can wear almost any color: but take away her clear com plexion and substitute an olive com plexion and she will have to be careful In her selection of colors and contrasts. So many girls. with the aid of cosmet- les. try to make their faces suit their surroundings. This Is a mistaken idea, as the surroundings should always be planned and arranged to suit the face
 A woman with a sailow complexion and dull brown hair and eyes has no reason whatever for looking ugly. All she needs to do Is aifect dull reds and browns. and. no matter what other col or she indulges ln, always have a touch of dull red or brown somewhere, and she will find her problem solved In the most satisfactory manner. She must give up all ideas of striking contrasts, for to her they are out of the question.

 orally Succeed.
 According to Mrs. Virginia O. Mere dith. professor of home economies in the Minnesota School of Agriculture. farming is a pursuit in which women may achieve a pronounced success for the reason that nature has fitted them for it.
 'The work Is ideal, and. contrary to the opinion of the uninitiated ma jorlty. eminently feminine" says MrA Meredith. Why femininei Because farming means infinite detail, and every woman. however unlntelligent otherwise. possesses a genius for de- tall Then lt gives her a home. a thing almost impossible Co secure in the very start-at least in most fields of feminine labor-and. most important of an. she meets not with opposition, but with ehivalrous cooperation from the men In the business. Sir Charles Dud- ley. an eminent Englishman. writing of the Americans says that the dlstin- gushing thing about the farmers Is their respect for women. We women who have made farming our business can gladly vOuch for that
 Another Idea, now nearly exploded. however. Is that a woman would find It difficult. 1T not impossible, to get men to work for her. For my part, I. who am both housekeeper and farmer. could sooner and more easily hire twenty farm hands than one servant girl l think this due partly to the fact that men who work on farms know that they receive better treatment, as a rule, when in the employ of women.
 "As regards the prodts in the busl' ness. both my friends and myself can testify that farming pays For instance, on thlrty-three head of Shorthorn cattle which I sold Inst fall made an aver age Of S4T8.
