10 hear an improving lecture
Frarey was totally Indifferent to the
budding charms OF Flora, who was re-
ally as hearty and wholesome a girl
MS need be. 1t was year or two be-
fore she began to bud at all-twO
years at least before Frarey took any
notice of the fact. She wore her first
pompadour for three evenings before
he observed even that. A year later
or thereabouts Frarey, meeting her in
the hall, saw that she was wearing an
uncommonly attractive white dress
and mentally remarked that she had
beautiful white teeth that showed to
advantage when she smiled.
Then Flora went away somewhere
TO take a course of the higher educa-
ton. Perhaps Frarey missed her. but
he hardly knew 1t is certain that in
a general way and without any refer
ence 70 anybody in particular he had
occasional thoughts Of settling down in
a home of his own. 1t would be nice
to have some one to read the improv-
ing books to and to take to the i'm
proving lectures. That was all it
amounted to - just hazy general
thoughts.
But when Flora returned a year
later with charms that now began to
blossom from the bud his reflections
became more definite.
I'D best go slow about this" he
said to himself. "a man needs some
thing more than pearly teeth and a
rosy complexion to make him comfort
able"
So he did not encourage her, though.
when she went away the following
June for her second year, he bought
her 1.-The Stones OF Venice" and the
North American Review to read on the
train for which she was very CRATE
full.
Time passed and Flora came back.
On the evening of her arrival what he
called her improvement almost took
Frareys breath away. Her former
prettiness had become actual beauty
and her conversation. which Mrs. AL
brecht no longer attempted to restrain,
was bright
The next morning Frarey met Flora
on the stairs and as he stood aside to
let her pass she, too, stopped.
Mr.. Frarey." she said. with a
charming air of embarrassment.

things need mending. There are-er-
some socks that need darning and
other things. You know. mother. never

At first the mending and darning

But The improvement was rapid and in
q short time an Incredible neatness
was shown in the darns. Within a

Still Frarey hesitated, not from any

and candy once or twice Gradually
he tried to accustom himself to the
idea of an engagement and matrimony.

NATIONAL QUARANTINE.
Provisions Of Bill Agreed Upon by
Southern Members of Congress.

AT conference OF southern senators. and
representatives recently a special commit
tea was designated to prepare a national
quarantine BILL This committee has agreed
upon the measure.
The bill incorporates many OF the pro-
visions Of the measure introduced in the
Senate by Mr.. Mallory to give the federal
authorities control of maritime quarantine,
but instead of protecting against 'conta-
gious and infectious diseases" as the NAL
1ory bill does, the committees measure
limits the quarantine measures to yellow
fever.
The bill provides for the increase of the
salary of the surgeon general of the service
to $1,000 and appropriates 100000 to be
paid on the requisition of the surgeon gen.
eral for the purpose of preventing the i'm
portation of yellow fever into the United

BY the sentence of the court the warden
is empowered to execute Hamilton at 9

his intention to have the affair over q

was made. however because of the dark
