nlte.y fJr the looker on the shade had
not been drawn down its full length.
Noble was sitting with his back to the
window. and the man outside could
only see that he was IL man. But pres
emily Noble aa1se and turned his bac-;
to the fire. showing his full face. At
the moment his wife threw her arms
about rs neck. kissed him and went
out of the room.
When the Ian outside saw Mobiles
face he caught at the window sill.
When he saw the wife throw her arms
about her husbands neck, he staggered
pack and put his hands before his eyes.
Then he turned and walked away.
When Captain Noble and Lieutenant
Preston were found on the battlefield
each was identified and their names
put down ON the lists being made up
of the casualties. Preston's name was
entered as dead. When, early the next
day, Il trench was dug near him and he
was about to be thrown into 1t, u slight
movement in his throat was noticed.
He had the night before been saved
from dying on the field by the whisky
and the overcoat of his comrade. This
he knew, and for months while linger-
ing in hospital he was constantly VOW
ing that if he recovered he would find
his preserver and do what he might to
show his sense of the obligation.
At last he was discharged from the
hospital, but was surprised to learn
that he was considered dead. Rather
than go home he concluded to remain
for awhile among the dead. Might 1t
not change his relations with his wife?
One night, hungry for a bit of hui
man sympathy, he went home. There
he saw that his wife's former lover and
present husband was the mar to whom
he owed his life. He has never since
been heard of. MORRIS WYNNE.

CORSET.
Il IL Important That 1t ShouId Be
Properly Adjusted.

There is nothing that has so much to
do with Il woman's figure as the corset.
1t is the key to her carriage and upon
its being adjusted and fitted properly
depends her shape. Corsets have been
subjected to change and improvement.
A woman's health and bearing are so
much dependent on them that i'll fitting
corsets are worse thar none, and the
wrong corset on the wrong figure is
just as injurious.
Every oma can be well corseted If
she consults one who understands fig
ures and fitting, which can be done at
very little expense. In adjusting cor
sets it would be well to remember the
following:
First.-When inserting the lacers be-
gin at the top and lace to waist line;
leave two long loops and continue to
the bottom. where the ends should be
tied in a knot.
Second.-When taking the corset OFF,
loosen the lacers freely. Put them on
with the lacers still loose and pull
them well down over the abdomen and
hips.
Third.-Hold the corset down with
one hand and draw the abdomen gen
tly UP into the corset with the other
hand. Attach the hose supporters and
draw the lacers tight at the waist
line.
Fourth.-Adjust the lacings above
and below the waist with the fingers
until the pressure at the waist is eased.
Tie the loops either front or at the
back.

Their Lease of Life Depends Upon
How You PUT Them On.
The secret OF the preservation of
gloves is the method adopted when
first putting them III. DO not at
tempt this unless you have at least Il
quarter Of an hour to spare. If the
hands are at al moist powder them
we'll, then fo.d tae lJNer part of the
glove backward al. lnte.t all the fin
gers, working them in evenly and leav-
ing the thumb loose till all the fingers
are fully in place. Then insert the
thumb and work the glove down
smoothly over the hand, gently press
ing all the seams into their proper posi-
ton.
Button the second button, then the
one below it, fastening the first one
last of all. Keep on the hand for a
few minutes without closing the fin
gers, then take them off by turning
back the wrists and drawing them
gradually inside out till they reach
the middle joints of the fingers, when
they a be easily removed. Turn
them right inside out, smooth length
ways and place them separately in
their sachet with a layer of fine flannel
in between.

BEARS HOLD CATHEDRAL.
French Officials Fear to Make Hated

Paris, April 12.-Three hungry
black bears successfully held the ca

of Ariege, against the government in
spector who wished to make an Off
cial inventory.
A committee of townspeople pur.
chased the bears from travelling
Snowman after the cathedral authOri'
ties had been notified of the forthcom'
ing visitation. The Snowman agreed ia
return one-half the purchase money
if the animals survived the siege, and
were afterwards delivered to him in a
good condition. The bears were lock
ed in coal cellar adjoining the ca
thedral. and for two days before the
expected visitation were deprived OF
food. AS the inspector unexpectedly
delayed his visit day they were raw
enously hungry, as we'll as angry when
he finally arrived before the west door
of the cathedral with his papers and
military escort. To the surprise OF
the inspector his demands for admit
lance to the cathedral we're unexpect
eddy complied with. But no sooner
had he stepped inside with his escort
than the great door was shut and bolt

A moment later the startled inspec
tor discovered the bears. They had
been shifting hungrily around the
choir. but the noise of the closing
door attracted their attention. and
they trotted down the central aisle OF
the nave to investigate the newcom-
ers. The inspector and the soldiers
made frantic efforts to reopen the
door. This caused derisive laughter
on the outside. Then the frightened
official vaulted over some chairs and
climbed On top of the confessional,
while his terror-stricken companions
ran down the side aisles shrieking for

The soldiers finally managed to Sc.
cret themselves in side chapel

The door was opened a little way
and the inspector, sliding down from

squeezed through just in time. A sec

at the closed door.
