age, but would be round reading, dust
ing, or amusing himself in the surgery,
smelling bottles, opening drawers, or
standing on a chair, gazing at the
CHASTITY preparations in one or other OF
the row of glass jars.
His pranks he managed to keep Sc
cret, arranging to enjoy them when the
doctor was asleep, and he was not
likely to be disturbed.
The present was his favorite feat
from its reality. There was something
to go at. he always said, and for the
hundredth time, perhaps, after per
forming the operation, and restoring
with the help of a little gum, he took
up the doctors tooth-key, fixed it
carefully round a perfectly sound
mOlar in the fine specimen upon whose
.excellences the doctor had before now
lectured to students, and steadying the
skull. the boy pretended TO engage in
a terrible struggle; then gave a quick
twitch, and brought out the tooth,
which he held with a smile as he
struck an attitude before its silent
owner.
The boy had seemed goblin-like be
fore. but as he now stood there before
the glistening relic of mortality, over
which he had partly thrown the corner
of the table-cloth, the scene was weird
and grim in the extreme; for the one
uncovered eye-socket seemed to leer
at him in company with a CHASTITY grin,
as IL rejoicing at .ne relief the opera
ton had afforded.
Now yer better, amt yer?" said
Bob. Eth? All, l thought you would
be. He was a tight 'un. Some 'un
coming"
Quick as thought, the boy snatched
the skull from the back OF the chair,
slipped It into the long chest, closed
the lid. thrust the tooth-key back into
the drawer, and had thrown the cover
on the table before the door at the
end OF the house-passage was opened,
disclosing him, in spite of all his eff
forts. looking as If the mischief which
lurked in the corners of his mouth, and
flashed from his eyes, had been run
ming to the full extent of its chain.

CHAPTER VII.
Agony Point.

is that all? What a fuss over a
little pain"
What many would say to a suffer
ing friend when sound and well them
selves. What Richmond Charley was
ready to say 10 herself as she paced
the room, with one hand pressed to her
face. where the agonizing pain seemed
to start as a center, and then ramify
in jerks through every nerve.
Toothache, faceache, neuralgia, &C
cording TO fashion, but maddening all
the same. A pain both of care and
anxiety, close confinement, abstinence,
the damp exchanging foggy air, and
settled in the face of a heroine, 10
take. as it were, all the romance out of
her history.
But there IL was all the same, fierce
Iy stabbing. jerking, as If some viru-
lent little demon were holding ends of
the facial nerves in a pair of pincers,
and waiting till the sufferer was lit
tie calm for a few moments before
giving the nerve a savage jig.
After the tug a pause Of sickening
agony, and then that slow, red-hot suf-
fering again. as if a blunt augur was
being made to form q channel beneath
the teeth, so that the aching pains, as
of hot lead, might run round without
let or hindrance.
Neuralgia, with sleepless nights;
neuralgia, with Hendon Chartley's
progress at the hospital; neuralgia,
with the trouble about Janet; ned
ralgia, with James Poynter's coarse
vulgar face full of effrontery always
before her, Haunting his possessions,
his power, and his influence, and star
ing with parted lips over the words
which somehow he had never yet dared
TO utter. but which sooner or later she
knew must come.
Neuralgia, with the constant dread
that some day her father would indulge
too deeply in the opiate she knew he
took every evening; neuralgia, with
the constant carking care of the un-
paid tradespeople; and, above all,
that wearisome agony, mingled with
the chilling heartache and those mem.

parted when I'm his ardent desire he

come back some day a rich man, and
ask her to be his wife.
Dead. dead. dead!" mOaned Rich,
as she paced the room; "and If l, too,

than / can bear,"
But as the words left her lips, she
threw her head back, and pressed her
long hair from her face.
What a coward I am" she cried,
with others looking TO me for help,
and shrinking from bearing a little
pain"
She hurried 10 the door. telling her
self that there was relief in the sur
gerry for all she suffered: but as she
went along the dark passage to the
door she felt that there was one only
anodyne for the greater pain she bore.
AS she slowly approached there was
a quick scufiling noise. a dull rattle as
Of something falling. and the loud clos

Lac Dainty Laundress Knows


That unless a wash silk blouse is
properly washed its beauty vanishes
after the first fatal laundering, never
more to be seen.
She washes white silk or silk that is
undyed first in cold water, then lightly
rubs it about in the water and washes
it in soap lather.
She adds a little dissolved borax
to the washing water if the silk Is
much sOiled or the water hard.
She slightly blues the last rinsing
water for pure white silk, and uses
slightly warm washing water, but for
cOlOred silks never hot water.
In the last rinsing water she adds to
every pint of water two teaspoonfuls
of prepared gum, which gives firm
ness to the silk and slight gloss.
She now wraps the shirt in a cloth
and presses dry. and leaves it rolled
up until ready to iron, which should
be soon.
She lays the shirt on a table right
side up, and extremely smooth, to iron
it, covers it with thin cloth, runs the
iron lightly over it until partly dry,
then removes the cloth and irons 1t
completely.
She never brings an iron into direct
contact with damp silk.
She waits until pongee silk, white or
ecru, is almost dry before ironing 1t,
and thus keeps it from looking greasy.

COUNCIL MEETING

showed quite an amount of the pub.
lie property was occupied by pri
vate buildings. Quite a discussion
followed the reading OF the figures
of Mr.. Bell The consensus of
opinion seemed to be that It would
be iuexpedieut for the city to take
any action In regard to those build
ings already constructed, but that
hereafter all such distractions
should be stopped before the large
edifc are completed.
In the same connection, City
Solicitor Shanor stated that after
Investigation. he discovered an or
dinance covering the use ard OBJ
struction of side walks, and at the
suggestion of the mayor had de.
ferred preparing any new ordinance
on the matter until further advised
by council. This ordinance already
on the statute book of the city, pro
vided a penalty for any and all
distractions of the side walks,
streets, alleys and crossings, and is
very stringent In Its terms. The
enforcement of the measure was
eft in the hands of the mayor.
Ryan, CT the same committee, re-
ported some important improve
meut In the service given by the
electric light company.
The matter of the railroad cross
Ing at Wells street occupied quite a
little of the time of the meeting.
The condition was agitated to be
deplorable and 1t was determined
that some one should be compelled
to fix that crossing and that speed
| lily, or the city would do 1t at the
expense of the one liable.
After the presentation and pay
Ing of bills, council adjourned until
next Monday night.
