We did not reach town tlI long after dark. As our house was ca the direct way to Brainard's suggested that he should stop with me, if only for mo- ment, and he did not refuse. As we approached the house l was glad to see that it was still lighted. Village people retire early. and l had feared l might have to rouse sleeping family. On reaching the piazza I tiptoed to the parlor blinds and open window to rec onnoiter and to increase the pleasure of anticipation. There sat my cousin May, and l was startled at the change that single year had wrought, for she was no longer a girl, but vision of womanly beauty. l could have stood there many moments for the joy of gazing at her, but I heard familiar voice and then saw, at the left of the room, Phil Hamilton. How handsome he was, confound him! Oh, if I could know that my letter about Brainard had reached May! For Hamilton was saying:
 "I asked you an important question in two or three successive letters, but you did not answer it.. so I've used my earliest possible opportunity to repeat the question in person."
 Quickly I drew Brainard after me through the doors and pushed him into the parlor. Hamilton rose quickly, and despite his habitual and superb compo- sure he literally staggered as he saw two of his late brother noneommission- sa1 ,ff3 i'm Apparently May had received my let ter and been properly affected by it, for, though she turned pale as she rose and looked at us, she quickly became rosy, courtesied to Hamilton and said:
 "I like you very much, but here Is my answer"
 Then she hid the red scar on Brain ards cheek with two red lips. At that moment our dog Rover entered the room and sprang upon me with joy ous whine, and as tried to abate his frenzy of affection I heard Hamilton say:
 lieutenant Brainard. I esteem 1t an honor 10 be the first man to congratu- late you"
 
 Of course we called on McTwyny's Norah, a rosy, modest. dainty girl who compelled us to recall the story of Beauty and the Beast" We had not intended to tell her all the details of the fight for the fence, but she extract ed them from us and she shivered, shuddered, cried and laughed. She also kissed us both and commended us to the. eternal guardianship of all the saints.
 Brainard and May were not married till after the war. by which time Brain ard was brigadier general in a high stan position, and General Grant and many other general officers attended the wedding; so did Phil Hamilton and his wife, who was as handsome and distinguished looking as he; so did No rah and Mick McTwyny, the latter in the uniform of lieutenant colonel of cavalry. But, as journeys end with lovers meeting" this story, too, must end.

A NEW ALPINE RECORD.
Most Dangerous Attempt Recently
Successfully Accomplished.

Successfully Accomplished.
Advlces from Geneva convey the
information that a NJ. Hasler Of
Berne, a member Of the Swiss Alpine
club, has just made a new Alpine rec.
ord. It seems that M. Hasler, nc.
companied by Chamonix guide,
climbed to the summit of the Alguille
Verte, 4,116 meters high, on March
81.
The Aigullle Verte is one of the
most dangerous climbs in the entire
Mont Blanc range, and is rarely at
tempted, even in summer. 1t is con.
sldered as difficult as the Matterhorn
and much more dangerous, owing to
its loose rolling stones.
NJ. Hasler made the climb after a
fall of soft damp snow, for which he
had been waiting several weeks, so
he might reduce the danger of be
coming a victim to the stones. He
stayed an hour on the summit and
then returned by easy stages to his
hotel at Chamonix.

An Englishman in Russia thus tells
his experiences: when at Simfer-

an easy matter, but the inhabitants
were quite interested in my work and
did their best to assist me. BY cack-

simple matter, a single 'baa' being
enough. Fish was the difficulty. The
motion of swimming with my hands
puzzled the natives, but on my putting
one hand behind and waving 1t from
side to side like a fsh's tail there was
dead silence for a minute or two,
and then with shout Of laughter one
intelligent individual said something
in Russian and took me straight to the

JIM'S SISTER.

The doctor had made his last visit
for the night and the nurse was left
alone with her patient-a typhoid
fever patient, muscular and raylng.
He had been as self-wllled in his
illness as spoiled child. He had
been almost conyalescent when,
against all warning-while the day
nurse was chatting with the doctor
he had staggered from his bed to q
basket of fruit on the table and eaten
two peaches before he was seen. The
result was a relapse into a far more
critical condition than he had been
at first. Here he lay now, struggling
against death itself. She wondered
whether he had a sister who was fond
of him-or a sweethesrt?-who had
been sending him these baskets of
fruit.
He was breathing regularly in a
fitful doze. She returned to her chair
aGd leaned forward to look at him
with her chin in her hand
Although she was not aware of 1t
he had changed for her; from being
a case" he had become a human
being with a claim of interest on her,
and she frowned at his muttering OF
pain Poor fellow Life must have
been so full for him of interests, ac-
tivities, promises, achievements. To
have it all end this way, futilely! He
had given the college cry once in a
dellrium and struggled painting
through a football game. And once
he had been standing on the platform
Of debate. And another time he had
been writing an examination in law.
And still another time she thought
that she heard him speak Jim's name
in the tumble of delirious mutter-
ings.
Jim was to have been lawyer.
Poor Jim! Her eyes filled at that
old, tear-stained memory Of Jim
and her father drowned together in
that horrible accident on the Della
ware. Well, she at least had not
been burden on her mothers small
income. and soon-as soon as she
was graduated from the hospital
she would be not only self-supportlng
but an aid to others. There
were two long years of hard work
before her yet. She bit her lip.
The untiring run and babble OF his
dellrlum had been growing louder.
She went to him again to calm him
with the sound of her voice, and he
looked up at her with a smile that
seemed almost rational. 1t was only

Do you ever stop to think how real
ly healthy you are and say THANK

made you so? The physical part of

Very few of us realize until some
check comes upon our health that we
are in daily possession of the greatest,
most lastingly satisfying blessing that
can be given to a woman. A girl

crutches will give you the informa-
ton, after she comes back from her
first outing thus equipped, that she
never knew how many people there
were in this city who walk on crutches
or had something the matter with
their ankles and limped about" says

pie before. Very few people do until
they get hurt themselves, and then,
when 1t is too late, they realize what
blessing it was to have whole.
some, whole body, full of the mere joy
of living. 1t is a pretty good plan to
discuss our benefits in this life with
ourselves once in while, and put the
good things that we have in a promi.
nent place in our mind, against the
day when the unavoidable worry
comes and we are disposed to think
that everything has gone wrong.

Pure Food Should Be the First.
When the human machine goes
wrong it's ten to one that the trouble
began with the stomach and can
therefore be removed by the use Of
proper food. A lady well known in
Bristol, Ontario County, N. Y, tells
Of the experience she had curing her
only child by the use of scientific
food: "My little daughter, the only
child and for that reason doubly dear,
inherited nervous dyspepsia. We
tried all kinds of remedies and soft
foods. At last, when patience was
about exhausted and the child's con-
dition had grown so bad the whole
family was aroused, we tried Grape
Nuts.
"A friend recommended the food as
one which her own delicate children
had grown strong upon so | purchas-
ed a box-as a last resort. In a very
short time a marked change in both
health and disposition was seen.
What made our case easy vas that
she liked 1t at once and its crisp,
nutty flavor has made 1t an immedi-
ate favorite with the most fastidious
in our family.
