The Call has often suggested that means be sought
to isolate other passengers from consumptives who
travel to seek relief by change of climate The enor
NOUS increase of this disease in the east following
the annual winter epidemic of grip and pneumonia
in that region, has caused corresponding increase
in the number of victims who seek relief on the hot
deserts of New Mexico Arizona and Southern Cali
fornia. As it seems to be settled that the dis
ease is spread by Infection the dried sptum In Pull
man ears presents real danger that makes travel
in them unpleasant to great many healthy people.
Human sympathy is never withheld from con-
sumptves but this only adds tothe tension and dis
comfort of travelling in the same cars with them,
SAYS the San Francisco Call To meet the growing
difficulty the Santa Fe is having constructed proper
and well equipped hospital cars in which consump-
tive travellers will enjoy all that is had in irstclass

run to such points in New Mexico, Arizona and
Southern California as are the objective of these
unfortunate travellers.

soLAcE IN NATURE.

When Fortune had no smile for you, and
joy seemed out of reach,
And you and Happiness. alas! were
very far apart,
Did you ever stand at twilight on some
quiet, wave-washed beach,
And let the seas soft monotone speak
comfort to your heart?
When Life had lost it's SAVIOR, and chill
disappointment fell
On the cherished plan or project that
you had gladly made,
Did you ever bend your footsteps to some
green and tranquil dell,
Where the trees grow leaves for heal
ing, and birds sing unafraid?
When Death had cast its shadow, and a
loving voice was still
That had been as tender music to the
sunshine of your day,
Did you ever take your sorrow to the
moorland or the. hill,
And let the whispering breezes charm
your bitter tears away?
For Nature, sweet in silence and passing
sweet in speech,
Has a word for every trouble and balm
for every smart;
But to find her gifts of solace, which are
well within our reach,
We must come as trustful seekers, and
draw very near her heart.

irrepressible exclamation of agony.
Will Law, as one grown swiftly old,
haggard. broken-down, stood gazing in
wide-eyed horror at this woman, so hu-
inflated in the presence of all in this
brilliantly-lighted hall; before the
blazing mirrors which should have re-
fiected back naught but beauty and
Joy; under the twining roses, which
should have been the signs manual of
undving love; under the smiling
cherubs, which should have typified the
deities of happy love. Will Law, too.
had loved. Perhaps still he loved.
This sharp sound served to break
also the spell under which Law him
self seemed held. He cast aloft his
arms, as in remorse or in despair.
Then he extended hand to the woman
who would have sunk before him.
God forgive me! madam" he cried.

"Your grace" said he, turning to-

He turned and, taking his brother by

which he had recently entered, paus-

have borne in memory.

blindly she reached out her hand to-
ward a glass of wine which stood neal
by, foaming and sparkling, its gem
like drops of keen pungency swimming
continuously up to the surface. Hell
hand caught at the slender stem of the
glass. Leaning upon her left arm, she
half rose as though to put it to hel

would follow the retreating figure Of
the man who had thus scornfully used
her. All at once, slowly, and ther
with sudden crash, she sank dowr
upon her seat and fell forward acros,

in her fingers. The amber wine rushed
in swift food across the linen. In.th'
broadening stain there fell and lay
blazing the great gem of France.

In the old days, when a side-wheelel
on the Mississippi was the chief way
for people to travel who were DESTROYS
of going south, an Englishman who
owned a ranch was passenger on one
of these boats. While en- route, relates
the Chicago Tribune, he had frequent
ly been asked by fellow passenger,
an American, to join in game OF
cards, but the phlegmatic Englishman
declined the Americans solicitations.
One day the American asked the

three or four. moves had been made

Again he was met with the answer:

This angered the Englishman, who
again stated he would not be dictated
to and that there was no such wore

American.

and of course also Mademoiselle AisSe,
la belle Circassienne-but what
Diable! Have you gone mad? Come,
is the sight of my guest too much for
you also, Monsieur L'as?"
There was irritation in the tone
with which the regent uttered this pro-
test, yet he continues:
Monsieur Las, it's but little. sur
prise had planned for you. Mademoi-
selle, my princess of the Messasebe,
let me present Monsieur Jean Las,
king of the Messasebe, and hence your
sovereign! This is my fair unknown
whose face have promised you should
see to-night-this, Monsieur Las, is my
princess, the one whom I have seen fiji
to honor this evening by the wearing
Of the chief gem of France"
The regent fumbled for an instant at
his fob. He stepped to the side of the
faltering figure which stood arrayed
in all its savage finery. One move
ment, and upon the dark locks which
fell about her brow there blazed the un-
speakable fires of stone whose mag
nificence brought forth EXPLANATIONS
of awe from every person present
"See!" cried Philippe of Orleans
Twas on the advice and by the aid OF
Monsieur Las that secured the gem

The wine of All had already done
part of its work. There were bright

compliance as the guests arose to Quaf
the toast to this new queen.
As for the queen herself, she stood
faltering, her eyes averted, her limbs
trembling. John Law, tall, calm, self
