The Life Of the Cell,

1t is no extravaganza and no mere
figure of speech to say that cells move
about with apparent purpose, that
they feel, that they suffer and enjoy,
that they absorb and assimilate food,
that they live love, marry, propagate,
and die. And we can say with as
much truth that they think But of
this last mentioned function it will
be well to defer discussion until a
subsequent time

the man does, has all that the man

she arose and put her hand within II
and together they started towards
the house. treading the narrow ledge
whose outer edge was death. A s.pge
push of the crazed woman's feeble
hand and mutilation waited for them
below, but there was not a trembl. In
the mans voice as he asked:
And what do you think of the new
tenor this winter at the opera"
In the street below the crowd sto,t
silent, tense with excitement. mil
they saw Philip hand the woman, still
with courtly grace, through the door
in the roof, and then 1t broke INTO
tumultuous cheering.
AS for Philip, his one thought was
to get to the Office. He realized the
value OF the story. The secret OF tie
darkened mansion. The closed blinds.
The beautiful woman, with her wild.
mad eyes-it was full Of color, It was
picturesque Besides it was a SCOOP.
There is, perhaps, no other joy IN
life equal to that which the yorrg
writer reads his own productions In
tyre, and Philips first conscious act
the next morning was to reach for tie
paper. He had expected his stor, 10
be given some prominent place; per
haps to be featured. To his dismay 1t
was not even printed. How long he
might have stared at the paper in be-
wilderment he never knew. but that
two letters caught his eyes, as they
lay upon his table. One was from
the city editor of the Asterisk. and he
pounced upon it for an explanation.
Dear Van Vivier." he read, sorry.
but your scoop was scooped. The dis
tressed damsel you rescued is old La
Roux's daughter and La Roux, as you
appear not to know. is the heaviest
stockholder in the Asterisk. Natur.
ally he wanted your story killed. Vir.
tue is rewarded, however. He sug-
gests you for night editor In place of
Carson. who has resigned. Report
for duty tonight"
The other letter was from Masge
II said:
Dear Philip have heard cf your
rescue of poor Fannie La Roux. Fow
could you be such a hero, and such
a goose as to take such risk. You
need a guardian. sir. AMI l am going
to marry you to take care Of you. on
this day one month. You can't refuse
a lady, you know. Yours, Madge."
Philip read the letter twice, and
then he bowed his head on the table
and when he raised it his eyes were
dim and tender.
