Mary looked very much astonished at
the idea of such u late visit. Mr.. Jona-
than Rodwell ordered the cabman to
drive to the nearest hotel, where he en-
gagged a bed and waited impatiently the
passing away of time.
At IL o'clock he knocked again at
Mrs. Wilson's door. They had not re-
turned. \ 'Nould Mary permit him to
come in and waltz" Mary did not like
the idea of admitting a stranger at such
an hour, and she alone in the house.
But he looks a gentleman" she thought,
land he is old enough to be my father"
Don't be afraid; l am not a burglar,
my dear" said Mr.. Jonathan. smiling,
and slipping a coin into her hand.
He walked into the parlor. and Mary
lit the lamp. One o'clock by his watch,
and still they had not come. He was
growing uneasy; he could not sit still:
he walked up and down the room, with
his watch in his hand, counting the min
utes. The rumble of wheels at last.
He ran out to the door; the night was
dark; he could not perceive any object;
but faster and faster, nearer and nearer,
came the roll oe the wheels, until they
stopped before the house.

The Biggest Ship Anoar.

The Baltic was built primarily with
a view to securing enormous freight
capacity, although she has excellent nc.
commodations for passengers. This
steamship embodies the same princi.
pies as the Celtic and the Cedric, also
belonging to the White Star Line. She
is one Of the few vessels now afioat
which are longer than they are. The
length of the Celtic and her twin sis.
ter is 700 feet. The Oceanic scrpasses
them by four feet, the Kaiser Wilhelm
by six and a half, and the Baltic by
twenty-five. 1t is easy to understand,
therefore, that In respect to displace-
ment the Baltic is practically without
a rival. Although the two freight
stamers built at New London for Mr..
Hills use on the Pacific are much
shorter, they are deeper than any Of
the vessels just named. and perhaps
they will carry as much freight as the
new White Star liner. Unfortunately,
however, they are not low running.
The Baltic, then, has the honor OF be-
Ing the biggest ship (: actual service
on any sea.--New York Tribune.

The walking delegate is not the only
one who can order the employee to give
up his job. Some irregularity in his
health may force him from his work and
render him incapable of improving the
very finest opportunity in the world.
A remedy that will restore health solves
many labor difficulties at once and makes
the path to success a smooth one.
Miss Winnifred Ray, of No. GIT
Water street, Wichita, Kansas, has
passed happily through an experience
which illustrates this point. She says:
elm 1901 / began to suffer from con-
siderable disturbance of my health.
There was arrangement of stomach and
bowels, as well as female troubles.
My appetite became very feeble. Some
days I had no desire for food at all and
when I did take any it caused me great
discomfort, particularly burning sensa-
tions. Ialso had palpitation of the heart
and often a of being smothered,
and / became so nervous I couldn't sleep.
One doctor thought I had heart disease,
another consumption, another a radical
disorder Of the liver. While I was not
confined to my bed, 1 was so miserable
that I really thought I must die.
"After suffering in this way for q year
without finding any relief, 1 read about
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
in a book and got q box and began to
use them. In q week / was better. III
six or seven weeks l was well. My liver
seemed to be stimulated at once and my
complexion cleared up. The burning sem
sation left my stomach and ! could eat
nearly everything I wanted. ] had no
more pain in my abdomen and no more
trouble with my heart. My whole system
appeared to be regulated and the grave
fears of the doctors were all banished.
/ have recovered my strength and
cheerfulness and am able to do my reg
ular daily work and to support myself
again. The pills have done me great
good and l believe they would help others
equally if they would try Them"

that ensued between the trio. But it is
not necessary to repeat it in this place.

LOST ARTICLES
LIST TODAY RECEIVED BY POST.
MASTER FIs6ER.

Postmaster f. NJ. Fisher received q
list this morning of things lost in the
mail. Money in small amounts,
which had slipped through envelopes
WAS he leading item on the list. The
articles lost ranged from pair OF
worn stockings to valuable pieces OF
silver and ladies' gloves. One article
listed was n toy coffin and another a
duck whistle,
This shows that 1t il not safe to
send articles unregistered, or money
except by money orders. The sharp
edge Of q silver piece is likely to cut
any envelope, and it is cheaper IN the
long run to pay the small amount
charged for an order.

LOOKING FOR TRoufLE.

IL is to be hoped there will be no le-
gal complications TO interfere with
the city's tranquility this year, bat
the authorities Tor some cause seem 20
be counting trouble instead Of trying
to avoid it.. In the matter OF city SUI
<pervisors, it was decided that the ones
appointed last year were appointed IN
der the second class charter, and ac-
.cordinglY hold for four years The
second class charter cannot be applied
in part TO these Supervisors add # the
supervisors were appointed for four
years, then the other provisions Of the
charter, that they remain in session
but six days. and that the same assess
ment trey revised last yea be revised
this, will have to be followed. The
mayor stands in the attitude OF being
eager TO act under that portion of che
new charter w hich enlblet him 20 get
some of his friends who had been re-
jected by the aldermen into positions
as supervisors, hat unwilling to DO
anything else the same clause Ct the
charter says.
This is likely to get the city into Sc.
rious complications, whether il docs
or not The reason the authorities dC
not want to revise last years ssscss
ment, is because they think the on
just completed is larger aDd will yiell
more revenue, which is good so far al
it gees and when stripped OF its lille
gality. II the new asse ssment IS Il
be illegally revised, Of course th;
board will have to sit four weeks IN
stead of SIX days, about four time
longer than the law under which the,
claim they were appointed allows, anC
for which service the boards will
have us no legal right to pay them.
The main points seem to be that i
these gentlemen are legally the city
supervisors they are authorized to 81
but six days, and il they are not the,
have no right to revise the city Ia
books OF all. When the people ar
called on for the taxes thus assesses
against them, there are grounds 70
some strenuous objection, and there !
already talk of it. A few injunction
suits by some OF the large taxpayer
would seriously embarass the city.

The people in Paduoah seem to be
generally in favor OF the abolition Of
the positions of license inspector, and
of meat and milk inspector if some
practical way cannot be devised for
making the office protect the public.
They are probably destined to disap-
poin.ment. however. as the whole
thing is only a dodge for holding of
the council until certain friends of the
aldermanic board can get enough votes
in the other board to elect. There is
really no intention of abolishing the
offices, from what can be learned.

HANDSOME WAISTS OF LACE
Fashionable Material and Shades for
the Fall and Winter
Wear.

Very handsome autumn waists are
made of liberty satin, and these waists
are not necessarily expensive. They
can be in deep shade of oyster
white, trimmed with pale white lace,
and finished with applications of lace
OF deep shade of ecru.
1t is very fashionable, says the
Brooklyn Eagle, to make lace waists
OF half dozen shades of white lace.
and to use the lace as one would use
f1ounces of silk, with one founce fall
ing over the other.
Lace, in a shade of lemon white is
appliqued with medallions of lace in
blue-white, while the whole is embroi..
dered in stitches that are in a shade
of pearl. This gives several shades of
white and makes the waist much
smarter than though it were all of a
single tone.
?. It is smart to fasten the white girdle
with small black velvet buttons. Set
a double row of those buttons at tho
side and hook the girdle invisibly un-
derneath. A white satin stock is Sc
cured in the same manner by invisible
fastenings, with double rows of black
velvet buttons at each side of the
stock. -
Thin silk waists will be worn all
winter. and there will be waists of
china silk, Of crepe de chine, of liberty
and Of the very delicate India silks.
These will have many lace figures ap-
piled and the material will be cut out
underneath. giving them a very lacr
appearance. . .s .5z.ss .5= .'
