So ex%hilarated did Max feel that he
almost danced or his way from the
hotel to the casino, where. without loss
OF time. he began to play, winning and
losing alternately, while his pulse beat
high, his heart leaped, and the glare
of light, the sea of faces, and sounds
of voices confused n maddened him.
When he had lost the asst franc he
had possessed he rose and staggered
through the throngs, away from the
pitiless, curious eyes, from the laughter
OF this hell, and went out into the cool
gardens, smelling of orange trees and
violets, and musical with the splashing
of fountains. He could hardly realize
that he was penniless. But on suddenly
turning down an alley he came upon q
procession whose sight froze his blood,
and fascinated him so that he could not
move until it had passed. AS 1t did,
the light of a lantern carried by one
who bore a lifeless figure showed him
the face of the Pole, white as marble,
save where one temple was splashed by
blood.

A. Club Woman's Adventure.

tended the reception at the Texas state
building at the fair recently, and a
heavy thunderstorm came up. She was
impatient 10 be of. but averse to facing
a deluge. One of the commissioners
gave q guard q dollar to summon a ye-
hicle for her. After three quarters Of
an hour the guard returned with a
Red Cross ambulance. The delegate
demurred, but the guard assured her
that she "onlya had to pretend to be a
little sick, and the thing was done.
Entering into the joke, she descend
ed the stair leaning on the arm of a
sympathetic friend. AS the guard care
fully arranged the invalid" on the
cushions he managed to whisper that.
h would be obliged to go to the hos
pital on the exposition grounds for n
few moments, as the ambulance was
ophged TO report every passenger there
first. All sorts of horrible possibilities
flashed through her mind. Suppose
they should imagine she had something
terrible the matter with her and insist
upon an operation? Such mistakes had
been made before.
BY the time she was half way to the
hospital she was as thoroughly sick ag
even the guard coul have desired. She
alighted white and shaking. Only fear
that h would involve everybody In
serious trouble kept her from shrieking
aloud as she waE conducted into the

nurses. Her pulse was felt and her

How to Sleep.

It is not uncommon to hear people
say 81 was too tired to sleep"-but it
is not generally known how great a
help it is at such times not to try to
sleep, but to so to work deliberately to
get rested in preparation for it. In
nine cases out Of ten it Is the unwill-
ingness to lie awake that keeps us
awake. We toss and turn and wish we
could sleep. We fret, and fume, and
worry, because we do not sleep. We
think Of all we have to do on the fol-
lowing day and are oppressed with
the thought that we cannot do it If we
do not sleep. First, we try one expert
ment to see If it will not make us
sleep, and when it fails, we try another
and perhaps another In each expert
ment we are watching to see if it will
work There are many things to do,
any one Of which might help us to
sleep, but the watching to see if they
will work keeps us awake.
When we are kept awake from our
fatigue, the first thing to do is to say
over and over to ourselves that we do
not care whether we sleep or not, in
order to Undue ourselves with a
healthy Indifference about it. 1t will
help toward gaining this wholesome in
difference to say Il am too tired to
sleep, and therefore, the first thing for
me to do Is to get rested in order to
prepare for sleep. When my brain is
we'll rested, it will go to sleep; it cannot
help it. When it is we'll rested, it will
sleep just as naturally as my lungs
breathe, or as my heart beats."-Les-
lies Monthly.

THE JOY OF THE SKEE.
L.Gse>a>G-&-&.G>&>s>a.

OF all the elusive arts, declares G. M.
Play" the art of the skee is the most
irritating. It is not that one falls Of
ten, it is not that one usually hurts
himself severely, but it is that one falls
so inextricably.
You generally roll over with your
head down-hill, says Mr.. Hewitt. One
arm is pinned by the heel Of one Of
those lengthy strips Of wood, the other
arm by the top Of the other. After
few minutes Of PROSTATE and irritated
inertness, you make up your mind
where the disentangement Is to begin.
So far so good. That arm is free.
Then the other is slowly liberated. Now
you realize that you are sitting on your
own heels, and you can't get up be-
cause you are on the down-hill side Of
your center Of gravity. You can't re-
verse yourself and get your feet below
your head, because you are sitting on
your feet. What to do? l have often
been reduced to lying there and below
ing for help, and people are s1ngularly
unsympathetic, also they often come
with q camera.
Then when you are half way up out
goes one Of your feet dragging you
after it into a fresh ENHANCEMENT.
Once fallen, you may put in the greater
part of the mornings exercise for
body and tongue in getting fairly right
ed again.
But if you do happen to get the
snow in perfect order and hit on the
proper equilibrium, then it is the best
form of motion that you can possibly
imagine. Down-hill you fly, with your
heart in your mouth, but still keeping
your feet, with little squirt of snow
spraying away from your pointed toes
a yard away in front of you past pros
trate forms shouting for help, past adj
miring friends with now welcome cam
eras.
You glide on to gentler slopes, where
YOU can stand more erect and look
around you serenely happy, until the
approaching fence or ditch or road
warns you to turn your course dag
onally across the slope; then you grad
ually come to a graceful stop, or sit
quietly down, thankful that you are
safe.

DOCTOR DID 1T.
Put on SO lbs. by Food.

Feed physician back to health and
he gains an experience that he can use
to benefit others. For this reason
Grape-Nuts food is daily recommended
to patients by hundreds Of physicians
who have cured themselves Of stomach
trouble. One doctor says:
Although physician and trying to
aid and assist my fellow beings to en-
joy good health it must be admitted I
formerly did not enjoy the best Of
health myself. In January, $780,
| only weighed 10 pounds. At this time
l was living in the Ohio valley and
began to think I had about seen my
best days. One day about 3 years ago
had an opportunity to try Grape
Nuts food for my breakfast. l liked it
so well that l ate three teaspoonfuls
three times a day and have regularly
used it up to the present time, and I
now weigh 155, gain of SO pounds,
and enjoy the best of health.
Not only has Grape Nuts made this
wonderful change in me, but through
1t l have helped my friends, relatives
and patients. The sustaining power Of
this food is simply wonderful.
Il have one patient who is a section
hand on the G, & O. r. r., who eats
nothing in the morning but four table
spoonfuls Of Grape-Nuts and yet does
his very hard work up to lunch time
and enjoys the best of health and
strength.
L could name a great many cases
like this and still prescribe Grape
Nuts in my practice every day" Name

tif1c principles on which Grape Nuts

pies are perfect.

"an excellent idea! I should like
Percy to accompany you, but bis motneE
would object to such a heightened sep
oration from her boy. And how long 90
you propose to be awayY
This was a question Darcy could not
answer. His friends had attached them
selves to an experienced sayant, who
was to be the guide and director of the
travellers; and il the general refused HIM
the hand Of Ida for three years, he felt
that he would rather spend the greater
part of the interval in active pursuits,
than 'fritter his days away in London, or
settle down on his estate alone.
It was, therefore, without fixing any
time for their reunion, that Darcy Les
mere babe his beautiful cousin adieu..
He was too honorable to breathe a word
that would initiate against his uncle's
arrangements; and it was in q quiet,
cousinly fashion that he kissed the tear
stained cheek of Ida as they shook hands
and parted.
The three years had nearly expired
when Darcy came back to England. lie
had left his native country boy; he re-
turned to it thoughtful, intelligent man.
AS he drove towards Glenaughton's town
house he was amused to see how few
changes had taken place during his aD-
sence. The same names were over the
shops; he could almost have said the
same faces met his gaze in the throngs
that were passing and repassing. The
general was in his library, alone, when
Darcy was ushered in. His greeting was
cheerful, as we'll as cordial, and, i'll a
few minutes, the uncle and nephew were
chatting together as freely as Of old.
"And so you come to us from the Him
aSayas! From the mountains of Asia to
the West End of the metropolis in the
height Of the seasonw the general OBJ
served, with smile "From the sublime
to the ridiculous, truly! You will find
London society very tame after tiger
hunting and crag climbing"
"Not if the faces Of old friends wear
q welcome for me-" Darcy replied. MY
aunt and Ida-are they here and wellT'
"Ida is quite we'll. l have kept your
secret, so you can meet her without q
pang of uneasiness, even if you have out
grown your boyish fancy. She is very
gay and very much admired"
Darcy made no direct answer to this,
contenting himself with repeating his in
QuIEy Luz NILS.
"She has gone to Richmond for few
days, taking Ida with her." the general
replied, with a faint sigh. "Her health
has been impaired Of late by much anx-
iety."
Darcy was surprised to hear this, for
she was one Of those quietly selfish peo-
pleSkwho do not make the distresses of
others their own.
"You do not ask after Percy" contin-
ued the general. eve seldom see him
now. He has taken chambers in the AL
bany. His conduct Of late has caused us
the greatest uneasiness. His mothers
tears and my remonstrances annoyed
him, and so he avoids u.s."
II suppose / can guess what is amiss,"
said Darcy, cheerfuly. "Percy has been
extravagant, as lads will be who belong
to crack regiments and are full of fun
and spirit. You must pardon few fol-
lies, sir, in consideration of his warm
heart, and really great affection for YOU"

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March 21st-
Mrs. A. L. Smith, Of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by tho
following experience:
"My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and
would then pass off. In month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and was
very yellow, even the whites Of her
eyes would be yellow.
'The doctors gave us no encourage
ment; they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box OF Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in oil
about dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling well. Dodds Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine FOR
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice OF
Mrs. Smith, for by SO doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure healthy, happy
future for them.

CHAPTER Y.

When Darcy Lesmere came of age his
uncle resigned his ambassadorship. His
lady had grown very weary of Spain, and
was eager to return to her own country
and enjoy the pleasure of preparing her
beautiful daughter for society, and wit
Messing her triumphs. Nor was Ida free
from ambitious dreams Of successes to
be achieved and conquests to be made,
though she would protest tearfully
against Darcy's predictions that, in the
whirl of dissipation he should be for
gotten. A boy and girl attachment had
sprung up between the cousins. Ida was
lovely enough to make Darcy's infatua-
ton pardonable; and certain respect
for his fearless love of right caused the
willful girl to wear her gentlest aspect
in his presence. A dream of making
her his own while she was still little
more than child, and moulding her into
a woman as good rs she was beautiful,
sent Darcy to his uncle to entreat per-
mission to WOO her. But the general
shook his head.
Il don't know any one on whom l
would sooner bestow Ida than on you, my
dear boy, but it must be when you are
both of you older and wiser. Ask me
this question three years hence, and you
shall have my cordial assent to your
union"
"You think, then, that I do not knew
my own mind-that I shall changer"
II think that marriages too hastily
concluded often result in the misery of
both parties. Better that you should
wait for your bride. Darcy, than that
either of you should reproach me here
after"
Darcy admitted that there was justice
in this, and he was not so madly n love
as to be very much troubled at the pros
pect of a long probation.
eff this is your decision, sir think
that, instead of returning to England
with you, I shall join some friends, who
are proposing tour to Russia. We may
go farther, and penetrate into Tartary or
Persia, IL we fraternize as well a. l
fancy we shall"
