G. r. Pogue says that much harm has

the extent of the LESSONS present says
the New York Medical Record. 1t is

words are coming to pass. I did not like
the job, l can assure you; have an
antipathy to graves and collins and all
that reminds one of death, and l would
not have taken that picture for untold
gold, but that l was enslaved by the
beauty of the lady who asked me to do
1t. Monsieur has not seen such another
tall, shapely, with eyes, hair and skin
perfect, and her voice soft and sweet like
silver bell. .5ne coaxed me to do il
against my will, and l crept into the vii
lage graveyard one morning at 3 o'clock
with my camera, before even the busy
sisters were out of their cells, and took
the picture for her. You may see how
imperfect the picture is, how many
hlemishes II has, and you must not judge
Of my usual work by 1t, for my hand

artist was ousting the shade of the aris-
tocrat.
Never mind the blemishes, Senior Cas-

pose. | want you now to tell me the
name of the lady who gave you the or
der, the name of the convent where the
grave Is, with directions for getting
there"
Castellan's hands went up in dismay.
You cannot get there! 1t would be
sacrilege. No man is permitted to en-
ter the gates but on two days in the
week, for couple of hours at visiting
time, you understand, when the holy
sisters are all shut in their cells at pray
ers,'
Still l must get to see that grave
before sunset tonight, and | will give
two hundred francs to any one who will
help me-"
Two hundred francs! 1t is a large
sum here in Villa Silentio. There is a
servant woman who does the errands
for the convent ladies, with whom | am
acquainted, who might be induced"
He paused thoughtfully.
That is settled then. And now how
far is it, and how are we to get there?"
Mr., Mallett asked, rising briskly from
his chair.
CASTELAR, motioned him back to his
seat.
You must leave this to me entirely,
monsieur. One ill-considered step might
balk your plan, and rob the servant and
during vespers, if at ALL and in the mean
time | must see this woman and make
my plans. 1t is now two, and, if might
advise refreshment and rest before we
start on our expedition, monsieur would
be more fitted for it."
"One moment" said Mr.. Mallett as
CASTELAR, rose to call his daughter to

american 0un& feople's MetnOue OF
Entertaining Are Saved by 1t.
The girls are missionaries daugh-
ters. Their parents are Americans,
but Helen and Belle were born in Asia,
and never visited the land of their
fathers and mothers until year or so
ago. They have been attending school,
but they have seen good deal of So
cial life, too, and now that they are
preparing to return to the East, their
friends have been curious to know
what impressions they are taking
home.
Il wasn't pleased at first" says
Helen, the elder and more sedate. The
first thing | noticed here was the ex-
traordinary habit the young men have
of forcing food upon one. 1t seemed
that their idea of entertaining a girl
was to buy her something to eat. Any
little outing at any time of day was
made an excuse for luncheon, and IL
you consented to lunch, you were ex.
pected to eat enough for a full dinner.
Il puzzled over this until happen
ed to recall the wicked old saying that
The way to a mans heart is through
his stomach and then | fancied | I'M
derstood Nice things to eat are all
they think about said l to myself,
and so they take it for granted that an
elaborate meal will please a girl"
Then Helen turned cynic," Belle in
terrupts. with a ripple of laughter.
NO not just then" Helen continues.
But l began TO notice what manner
Of entertainment the girls offered their
friends, and / found that girls who
were popular seemed TO encourage
young men to talk about themselves
OF course | reasoned backward then,
as | had in the other instance The
girls were cyclists, l argued, else they
would not have ministered TO the con-
ceit of persons they wished to please.
That did make me cynical"
"Since the young men were glutton.
Gus, and since the girls were egotistic,
Helen wanted to know what hope
there was for the United States" Belle
explains.
Exactly. l was very gloomy about
Ii for a while. Belle brought me to
my Senses" Helen adds, with an affec-
tiOnate glance at her cousin. "She got
impatient, | suspect. She asked me one
day how it was that these greedy
young men were so anxious to spend
money for other people, and why these
vain and conceited' girls were so will
ing to let their friends affairs take
the conspicuous place.
1T couldn't answer that question
until at last 1t dawned upon me thai

the young man offered You luncheon
