Women Who Hate Men.

From time to time strange instances
crop up Of women who not merely re-
main unmarried of their own free will
but carry their antipathy to the oppo-
site sex to most peculiar lengths.
Thus one Of these is utterly resolved
to have nothing whatever to do with
men on any pretext. All her food is
bought Of women, and consequently
meat never appears on her table, since
there is no female butcher in her neigh
borhoOd.
Not long since a handsome legacy
was refused simply because it came
from a man, while instances are
known of women who make it their
boast that they have neither spoken to
nor allowed one of the opposite sex to
cross their thresholds for a quarter of
a century and upward.
But probably the bitterest man hater
Of modern days was an Austrian lady
who at the time of her death was en-
gagged in perfecting an elaborate plan
for the ultimate extinction of the male
sex

felt that the veil was lifting for him.
He was seeing things too clearly, and,
seeing thus, he knew that the light Of
reason would Danish the face along
with the mist of weakness. He closed
his eyes. Perhaps it would come back
to him once more, and surely it would
smile now.
Suddenly he pressed his hands to-
gether, and something like sob rose
in his heart. The face had never been
so distinct. There were the clear olive
complexion, the great deep gray eyes
and the wonderful glory of her hair,
black as night and soft as floss, star

could see the curls which framed the
face, blown now by the south wind,

Afraid to stir and afraid to close his

Even then it all seemed like dream.

her cheek against his and ner arms
about him did he understand it was ali

hands and held them fast

backward and he was glad to drift.
All through the illness, when fever
had made him rave. and afterward
when weak in body and brain alike he
had seemed floating in space, he had
seen the face. Sometimes when his
eyes were half shut he could see it in
half materialiZed sort of way, but
when his eyes were fast closed he saw
it best of all. During the illness the
face seemed always to smile at him.

NOT THEIR WORDS.
but now as memory quickened he could
see that the smile was fading. SO he
wanted to drift.
AS the face was becoming fainter and
fainter each day he hated the life
which had been coming back to him so
slowly. Why could he not have entered
when he stood so near the door Of
death? In time the face would be on
the other side of that door, too, and
the smile would never again fade from
the lips.
So he settled back to a sullen hatred
Of life, and the old doctor who had
taken a great fancy to his ungrateful
patient said that he must be reused to
an interest in life or lethargy would
finish the work so strenuously COM
menced by the fever.
Friends selected advisedly by the
doctor and the devoted sister who had
stood between him and death for seven
long, weary weeks were called in to
talk with discretion about the success
Of his novel. The critics had hailed it
as the novel of the decade. They had
labeled it's author as man not of tai
ent, but of genius.
The man in the big armchair, finger
ing the tassels Of his robe, looked out
across the waters and drifted with
their words falling on unhearing ears.
Sometimes he frowned for their voices
seemed to drive the face from his huE-
CRY vision.
Then the sister who had the gift Of
intuition went alone to see the doctor.
and when she had finished her story
she was weeping softly. The old doc
tor wiped away the mist which had
gathered in his own eyes, while he
answered with a gruffness which his
gesture denied:
Gas you will. The case is now past
me-
And so that night the sister sent a
long telegram to a little town in Lou
isiana. Then she went back to her
place at the mans side, and the doc
tor came and went because he was
paid to do so, and the people who
heard of the case tried to get glimpse
of the now famous young writer and,
shaking their heads. remarked, "What
a pity, and just at the beginning of
brilliant career!'
AS for the man, he never spoke Of
the increasing weakness. All he asked
was to be wheeled each day to the
piazza. Here he could look out over
the bay and away to the south where
the horizon met the sea. Sometimes
he merely sat and gazed alphabetically
at the eXpanse of sea. More often he
closed his eyes and waited for the
face.
1t seemed to him that the face had
come into his life SO gradually that it
had always been a part of his very
existence. 1t had not always been
beautiful face, yet it had dominated
him. 1t was an eXacting face. 1t had
grown hard and flushed one day when
he was but thirteen. He had wanted
to lie fiat on his back and watch an
army of white clouds marshaling in
the blue sky. The owner of the face
did not care for the movements of
such distant and unreal objects as
feathery clouds, and she did want a
fort built But it was worth while,
after ALL for when the fort was finish
ed and her doll had been duly rescued
by Indian fighters at the eminent risk
of the fort the expression Of the face
had been utterly lovable and tender, so
