"And what are they. pray" said he.
But she only shook her head in smil-

Olmstead had books and magazines
and fruits sent up. These he shared
with her, and she accepted them with
a grave f~rankness that pleased him
nightly.
They read together; they walked to-
gether; they sang together evenings in
the so called music room" Day by
day Olmstead grew more interested in
her, and finally the interest changed
into something deeper.
He stayed out his first week and his
second. At the beginning of the third
he realized that, c~onsunptive though
she might be, he had found the one wo-
man in the world.
One evening just at twilight they
strolled down to a little stream that
crossed the grounds. The air was clear
and frosty. Behind a fringe of pines
the sky hared red and gold.
"Of course you know it by this time"
said Olmstead quietly.
"What?" she asked.
THAT | love you" said he.
She caught her breath. Her face
grew very rosy. She turned to him
slowly.

Her eyes danced; she fairly shook with
merriment. He watched her In puzzled
silence. Presently She came close to
him and laid both her hands on his
shoulders.
Forgive me- she said, but it is
such an absurd situation. Do you
know why | am here?''
He shook his head.
"Well," she said, chose unsavory

The color had faded from the sky.
The wind grew almost biting in its
chill. A group Of shivering patients in
one Of the payilions saw a much en-
crossed couple walking toward the san
itarium.

Moxnrt,s Memory.

Mozart had a memory for music and
for nothing else. On attending the
papal mass at the Sistine chapel he
was greatly impressed with the mu-
steal service and asked for a copy, but
was told non could be given him, as
the music was not allowed to go out.
He went to the next service, listened
attentively, went away and wrote down
the whole from memory. When "Don
Giovanni" was first performed, there
was not time to copy a part for the
h~arpsichord. so Mozart conducted the
entire opera, about three hours long.
and played harpsichord accompani-
ment to the songs and choruses with
out a note of music to assist his men,

The chestnut grove was only u couple
of miles away, and he was soon there.
He had not been invited TO be one of
the party. 1t was Mrs. Appleton's own
party, and Orion had not been popu-
lar with that lady since the advent of
Marquand, but he went in search of the
party with a happy heart.
He found Aline and Marquand apart
from the group. She flashed him one
glance Of welcome from her eyes, then
dropped the lids on them while the red
spread yer her face. In the instant of
greeting she had forgotten the note.
and with recollection Of the cold, form
al phrasing of her letter she became
ashamed to meet his glance.
Marquand regarded the intrusion IN
no pleasant fashion and began to sulk.
He had been assured by Mrs. Appleton
that Aline would accept him, and this
nutting party had been arranged to
make an opportunity for his proposal.
Mrs. Appleton had drawn the others
deeper into the woods, aud he was just
about to make formal offer of his hand
when orion came up.

A Fable That Points a Moral With =

There was once a Rich and Stingy
old Bachelor who had Two Nephews.
And one, being a Hypocrite, said In his
Heart: "All men are Mortal, and this
One must Die some time, although un-
fortunately his Doctor understands his
Case. So l will Pretend to Love my
Uncle and Bear with him and Tend
him with Great Care and Tender As

was blunt and Honest In his Feelings,
said to All Whom 1t Did not Concern:
"Why should l pretend to Care for My
Uncle when / Don't and Play the Hypo-
critic? He cannot but Respect my In
dependence the More then than II I
Fawned upon him"
One day the Uncle died when 1t Sud-
denly occurred to him that be was
Spending too much Breath. To the
Nephew who Was a Hypocrite he left
his Fortune. and to the One who Did
not Conceal his Real feeling he Left his
Regards.

American Hotel Life.

At heart Americans still enjoy hotel
life immensely. in spite of much re-
proof from foreigners Who consider 1t
In bad form. The American has not
really acquired the country house habit,
although he Is trying to do so. 1t does
not as yet satisfy his longing for a
constant change Of scene and entire in
dependence. Hotel life, condemned as
1t Is by the finely discriminating as I'M

THE DANDELION.
1t Adapts Itself to- All Soils and Cli-
mates of the Earth.

The dandelion belongs to the largest,
Oldest and most widely diffused order
of plants. While other orders Of plants
have died out and become mere fossil
remains in the rocks, this order has
survived the geological changes OF
many different periods on account OF
Its power of adapting itself to those
changes. And these changes In their
turn have only made it better suited
for all the varied soils and climates Of
the earth at the present day.
We find members of this order In
every part Of the globe, In places as
far apart from each other as they
can be. 1t is the prevailing and dom
inant order of vegetable life, the most
highly finished and the most success
full family of plants. And the dande-
lion Is one of the most perfect forms
belonging to it.
1t is the head and crown Of The vege-
table kingdom, as man is the head and
crown Of the animal creation, and Ii Is
curious how this highest type of plant
ia always found only where man. the
highest type Of animal life, Is found
and where he dwells and cultivates the
soil. Ii is never found apart from
him. 1t follows him wherever he goes
to America, Australia and New Zea-
land-and there in the new hor he 1t be-
comes a silent but eloquent reminder
of the dear old land he may never see
again.-Exchange.

that she had an apple urnover for him
and, tucking the note in his pocket, he
turned his attention TO the turnover.
1t was perhaps an hour after that
that Orion, coming back from the post
office, found Billy on the front piazza
playing train. He vas the conductor
and the other children were passengers
Billy had a punch used for progressive
euchre games and was collecting tick
cts with an enjoyment dashed only by
the fact that he had no engineer tc
whom he could signal. Billy was su,
premely contemptuous of girls and de.
clined to allow either of his three fair
passengers TO act in that capacity.
1t was with evident joy that he hailed
Orton's advent and installed him In
the front chair with earnest injunctions
to run the train carefully and to STOP
in case the emergency signal was given
on the bell rope. Billy had ridden
much on the branch line that summer,
and he had followed Burton, the signal
conductor, about until he had learned
all about his workings.

his engineer.

Imitation OF his models manner. "Tve
got a train load Of foolish women, and
they get scared when you run so fast.

Billy blushed apologetically. Guess

shamefully supplied with stationery.

As the carriage drew up to the curb
before the station the young man whis-
pered a few hurried words 10 the young
woman beside him. She turned to him
quickly, admiration stamped on every
line of her pretty face. while n little
gloved hand stole up TO pull his ear
c~aressingly.

king, Il know | shall like You"
The young man produced u cardcase
and from ii pulled a Pullman ticket,
which he passed to the young woman.

who had alighted from the train had
preceded him and were now climbing
into the barge.
"Sanitarium, sir?" inquired the shah
by man as Olmstead came up. IAN
right, sir. Git right in. Let's have your
checks. I'll git your baggage"
The checks were handed over, and
while the driver was getting the trunks
Olmstead looked over the other occu-
pants of the barge. There We're one
man and three women The man and
two of the women were typical con-
sumptives-narrow chested and hollow
checked. Now and then they coughed
spasmodically. They were poorly dress
ed and evidently of the class who
avaiIed themselves of the states chart
ty fund to bring them here.
The other was of an entirely
different type. She was well dressed
and young. In the dim light from the
station lamps Olmstead could see she
was decidedly pretty. She did not
cough, nor was she hollow checked like
the rest. Olmstead made two mental
d~ecisions-that she was a pay patient
and that her case was not as yet a
very serious one. He felt a sudden
thrill of pity that she should be here,
so evidently was she at odds with the
dreary surroundings.
The driver returned with the trunks
and bags on a truck. With the station
agents assistance they We're piled into
the rear Of the barge and the drive to
the sanitarium was begun. 1t was over
a rough, sandy road, lined with gloomy
pines through which the wind howled
dismally.
Olmstead unrolled his steamer rugs
and offered them to the women, two Of
whom were shivering miserably. The
younger woman greeted this act of
courtesy with a pretty smile Of ac-
acknowledgement that quickened his
pulses.
'They might at least have some blan-
kets in the barge" he said.
at would seem So" was her quiet,
noncommittal reply, and then there was
silence until the sanitarium was
reached.
Olmstead paid In advance, received
a hurried examination from one Of the
physicians and was assigned a room on
the second floor. At the supper table
he met the young woman again. She
smiled and nodded as he took his seat
opposite her.
"It's not exactly a promising begin
ming" she said, indicating the table.
81 should say not" he replied. II be-
lieve this fare would prove the undoing
of a rugged person, to say nothing of
Its effects on an invalid"
"Shall you stayT' she asked.
"a week at least" said he. And
you"
~ shall stay for a time, anyway"
she returned.
After that meal they were friends.
They strolled about the grounds to-
gether. They found quiet hooks where
they could discuss freely the ineffcien-
cy of the doctors, the slovenliness OF
the nurses and the general lack Of any.

"Why, It's just a dollar and cents

'Then why did you Gomez" she asked

The man stepped out first, then assist
ed the young woman to aiight. He
handed her a suit case and a small,
carefully rolled umbrella.

hand a surreptitious squeeze. He turn

at the young man.

ter reminded him sharply.
"Sure, sir! All right, slr!' the driver
chuckled, while a broad grin wreathed
his face. The young man re-entered
the carriage, the driver banged the door
and mounted the box, and the equipage
ratified Owe the pavements to the other
entrance OF the station.
Arrived there, the young man paid
the fares, gathered up the remaining
suit case and a bag OF golf sticks and
walked leisurely across the platform to
track 4. He passed over his luggage to
the porter of the Pullman Avon and
followed that worthy functionary down
the aisle to his seat. Scarcely had the
porter put down his traps when the
young man turned about and discover
ed the young woman in the seat direct
ly behind him. 1t was the same young
woman of the carriage.
