Jim Bannister jumped out of the
train. his black bag in his hand. and
his eyes went ranging up and down
the platform in search of his wife and
children. They generally were there
to meet him when he came down from
town on Friday evening. Finding that
they were not visible, he left the sta
ton and took the road that led away
from the town and the harbor towards
the new suburb which had OF late years
set up in business as watering place.
1t was cheap and healthy, and the boys
liked to go down to the harbor and
see the ships and talk to the sailors.
Bannister soon got out OF town. for
he was walking fast, but as the road
began to rise his pace became slower
till, as he neared the bend where the
road turned toward the cluster OF red
brick villas. he was going quite
leisurely.
A man was sitting on the stile at the
corner-a tramp, he seemed to be.
Bannister frowned. He was hard
working man himself, and he did not
like tramps-perhaps envied them
little. His face assumed a stern look
as he went along.
AS he approached the man got up
and came slowly toward him. Yes, he
was tramp; there could be no ioubt
of it. His rough pilot cloth trousers

He waved his hand and was gone.
The tramp leaned over gate, think

house that had been his uncle's, the
house he had hoped would one day be
his own. 1t belonged to Charley Hud-
son now. So he had been told in the

But Margaret had preferred him.
| though some called him a ne'er-do-
well. Was it possible that she had been
waiting for him all these years?
The very thought made his heart
burn. 1t seemed impossible. 1t was
too much to expect from any girl. Yet
that man-what was his name? Ban
nister-he had seemed to think it quite
likely. He must find out. He must
get some decent clothes so that he
might make inquiries. Some one in
the town must know what had become

not his address; and he was only a

to repay the money for weeks. He
turned and began running after Ban
mister as well as his clumsy shoes
would let him. A little ahead there
was bend in the road, and he felt
sure that once around that corner he
would catch sight of him.
He turned the corner, and saw Ban

her face, and he stopped and kissed

1t was not till then that he saw
her face. Margaret!
His heart stood STILL He would not
believe it. Had not the man said?
But, of course, he could not know
Was it Margaret? He did not feel
quite sure, now that her back was

must know at once.

an absent lover, without a word to
show that he yet cared for her. He
could have laughed at the idea of any
woman waiting for the human wreck
at his side. He could have laughed at
the eager look on the mans half-savage
face as he put his absurd question.
But there was pathetic look in the
brown eyes, and Bannister did not
laugh. AS he kept on looking the in
clination to laugh died away altogether.
Instead. he gave the answer that
seemed to him at the moment the only
possible one to give.

The woman's Health Club, Of Boston,
is doing an excellent work in the in
terests of public health by the publ
cation of its booklets on hygienic sub
jects. and particularly by those which
teach the great doctrine of cleanliness.
They are written in plain style,
which can be understood by everyone
who makes an attempt to read, though
it is to be confessed that they Will
never reach the great mass of free
born naturalized American citizens
who never read anything-not even
yellow newspaper. Yet they will ac-
complish much in the direction of ed
ucating and enlisting leaders and
teachers of the future work for civic
and household cleanliness, and other
organizations could with profit emu
late the Boston example. 1t would
awaken more people to the theory that
they have right to prevent injury
from the uncleanliness of others. Clean
streets, clean houses, clean bodies and
clothes. and. most of all, clean water
and foods-these are the prerequisites
of public health, and they are privi-
leges which everyone should enjoy.

In the Grand Central Palace, and for
week to come the loot, toot" and
"honk, honk" of myriad of motor
cars, including all kinds and sizes
and numbers, will echo through the
big structure in Lexington avenue. In
the number and variety of exhibits the
show is fully up to the expectations
of Its promoters, who have worked
unusually hard to put up a fine exhi-
bitton this year in opposition to the So
called national automobile show to be
held in Madison Square Garden next
month. Motor vehicles propelled by
steam. gasoline and electricity are on
exhibition, and the exhibits present
a fine sight to those who are interested
in this sort Of thing.
While the motor car and everything
pertaining to it forms the chief at
traction. there are other things worth
looking at that will not only interest
the automobilist, but the general pub
lie as we'll. In conjunction with the
show the Aero Club of America is
holding the most complete exhibition
of balloons and air ships ever seen in
this country, while everything new and
novel in the aeronautic line, from wind
wagons to aeroplanes and tapping
wing machines is on view.
