The conservatory was most artfully

rose in volume and power and took

Sister exclaimed the man, and
he went to the klondike and never
saw her again.
And that was the story she was
compelled 10 tell her most ardent
wooers.
Il like the men first rate she said.
Indeed their robust way of looking at
things and doing things is quite re-
lief at times from the petty little
ways the women have, and they are
very handy in dancing and rowing
and driving and running automobile,

and live with and become a part ct
l simply cannot understand it.
This as the state of affairs when
Gerald Mann appeared on the scene
and was attracted by the beauty and
the personality of Miss Loyeless.
When he went slap up against sex
lessuess. SO to speak. he was dumb
founded, then interested. He was

health. with red lips and swelling

trying he lost his heart.

He struggled violently and ridiculed
himself mercilessly over his pre-
slumber cigar. but to no avail. He
had had many affairs and INDUCED IN
some engagements. but this was diff
ferent. This woman he must have
to complete his life. There was no
question about that.
In the meantime her adamant atti-
tude was not even scratched. Mann
rather interested her with his we'll

men and places and things. but that

Heights That kecessitate Artificial
Inhalation Of Oxygen.

The highest poiut at which noun
tain climbers have stayed for any
length of time is 20.992 feet on the
Himalayas, where an exploring party
painfully stayed for six weeks in 1902.
Higher still at 81 80 feet is the ex-
treme point of Mrs. Bullock Work
mans ascents. the greatest height
reached by a woman. Mr.. Bullock
Workman kept on TO point 1898
feet high, which is the greatest height
reached by any mountain climber.
The attitudes reached by Mr. and
Mrs. Bullock Workman were above
those at which NJ. Berson, the aero
naut, began his artificial inhalation OF
oxygen. AT 26,240 feet the aeronauts
in general begin the continued inspira-
ton of oxygen, and neglect of this
rrecaution was responsible for the
death Of Croce, Spinelli, and Sirel at
2S,20S feet, their companion, Tissan-
der, just escaping by miracle.
Mount Everest, the highest point OF
the globe, is only some 700 feet higher,
1885 feet, and 5000 feet above that
begin the cirruJ clouds that are
composed of spicules of ice At 80 .424
feet is the highest point ever reached
by man. This is the height attained
by NJ. Boron in his balloon on July 81,
1901.

Frost Makes Fat TURKEYS,

Cold weather makes fat turkeys"
said the poulterer, because in a warm
fall the ground keeps soft, the veee-
tation fingers on and the fields are full
OF worms and bugs. What's the re-
suit? The turkeys from sunrise till
dark tramp the tempting fields on long
forages, eating the worms and bugs,
which thin them, and walking all their
soft and fine flesh into tough stringy
muscle.
"A cold fall. with early frosts and
SHOWS, freezes the ground and kills
the bugs. Then the turkeys are not
tempted to wander. The- loaf in the
farm yard. gorge an abundance of
grain and put on flesh like a middle
aged woman at a seasbore hotel. But
in warm fall, hunting the irresistible
bug, the turkeys do their fifteen or
twenty miles regularly every Jay and
become athletes. For athletic turkeys
there is no public demand"

Safety In Proprietary Medicines.

RepIying to the charge that certain
popular proprietary medicines contain
narcotic drugs, an authority says:
Some years ago one of the leading
pharmacists CT America, III connection
with some official work, undertook to
ascertain. by an elaborate inquiry In
representative cities of the country,
what percentage OF physicians pre-
scriptions contained narcotic drug
of some kind Out of 100000 repre-
sentative prescriptions. dispensed IN
drug stores in all parts of the United
States, it was found that 70 per cent
contained opium or some one OF it
preparations.
Proprietary medicines are almost
Invariably accompanied by the most
detailed and specific directions for use.
while the directions accompanying
physicians prescriptions are generally
very brief ard sometimes illegible. 1t
is also true that but moderate pro
portion OF proprietary medicines con-
tain any poison or narcotic. and, when
they do, it is generally in such small
quantities or SO protected by accom-
panying antidotes, as to carry with 10
no danger whatever"

Any way, he refused to go away, O,
to accept her as sister. He simply
staid on and announced that he would
wait Cor the arousing OF her woman S
nature which, he ayerred must come
! some day.
Things were not wholly comfort
able or normal. however, and so far
as Mann was concerned, certainly not
joyous when he met at his club one
day an old friend, an Italian gentle
man with whom he had become very
well acquainted one summer when he
was abroad. The Italian was a musi-
cian-a Violinist of exceptional abil-
ity and high reputation. He had
| come to tour America with his won
derfu violin. After greetings had
been duly exchanged. the two sat
down and had a long chat, renewing
the old acquaintance most happily.
Mann could not keep back the great
change in his life and the dsappoint-
ment with which he had met. Signor
Nalleti was all sympathy. but reso-
lutely skeptical regarding the lady's
incapacity to experience the gentle
joys OF love.

We'll, I'd like to find the way to
arouse it," growled Mann moodily.
Have you tried ee zeemagination -
asked Nalleti. Eat is zee key to un-
lock ze most guarded heart
I've tried everything replied
Mann. I've bombarded her with the
most potent love stories, I've read her
the most passionate poems. have
taker her to see the strongest plays,
pilcted her through the art galleries
where hang the most stirring pic
tures-but to no avail
But zee music-zee vera language
OF lof-have you tried zat?" asked the
Italian.
"Oh. yes, after a fashion, replied
Mann. but the girl is absolutely de-
void of musical qualities. She does
not sing a note, and does not even
thump on the piano. She is utterly in
different to music"
NO, no. signor," exclaimed the
Italian. Eat is eempossible. No vom.
an ees indifferent to music"
There was long pause during
which Signor Nalleti smoked fierce
ly Then he said:.
My friend II will arouse zee vom-
an nature in zee lady"
He went on to outline his plan and
the hopeles lover grasped it as a
drowning man at 4 straw.
So it happened that Miss Marian
was invited by Mr. Mann to hear "a
violinist-said to be a remarkable
player A marager friend Of Mann's
