When Maurice left her Jocelyn went
put into the veranda. 1t was the be-
ginning of the hot season, AT midday

longer cast shadow Jocelyn could
not 90 out in the daytime at this period
of the year. For fresh air she had tc
rely upon long, dreamy evening in the
veranda.
She sat down in her usual chair
while the moonlight, red and glowing,
made pattern OH the floor and Oh her
white dress with the shadows OF the
creepers. The sea was very loud that
night, rising and falling like the breath
Of some huge sleeping creature.
Jocelyn Gordon fell into reverie.
Life was very dull at Loango. There
was too much time for thought and toe
little to think about. This girl had only
the past, and her past was all COM
prised in few months-the few
months still known at Loango as the
simiacine year. She had lapsed into
bad habit Of thinking that her life was
over, that the daylight of it had waned
and that there was nothing left now
but the gray remainder Of the evening.
She was wondering now why it had all
come why there had been any daylight
at all Above these thoughts she won
dered why the feeling was still in her
heart that Jack Meredith had not gone
out of her life forever. There was no
reason why she should ever meet him

THE MODERN HOTEL.
A Product of the Times, 1t Is Made by
the Guests.


Among the silly and absurd articles
appearing from time to time concern
ing hotel and tavern keeping, one tells
us again and again how the modern
hotel is shown to disadvantage when
compared with the inns of colonial
days. In these articles the writer OIL
Iates and expatiates On the hospitality
of the old time tavern, and the cold,
Indifferent and almost cruel treatment
received from the hands of the modern
hotel man. OF course every one knows
If he will drop sentiment for moment
and give the subject little sober re-
Election that the modern traveller, tour
list OF hotel guest would absolutely re-
fuse the accommodations afforded by
the inn of hundred years ago. The
only advantage Of hotel of those
times lay in the fact that the lack OF
material comforts drew from the tray
eler warmer fellow feeling and great
,er sociabHity-a condition in which one
man was more his brothers keeper
than prevails today. Again, the travel
by coach and the small number thrown
together, ell route or at the hotel, made
closer acquaintanceship not only posi-
BILE, but far more desirable than in our
day of big hotels and big crowds.
The modern hotel is product Of the
times. The wants, desires, whims, fads
and, on top of all these, the imperative
demands of those who travel have
made the hotel Of today what 1t is from
the standpoint of food, accommoda-
lions, method of service and manage
ment and from every point Of view.
The hotel keeper of today responds to
the bidding Of the guests One might
almost say of the man and woman who
travel: Here is your hotel. You have
planned 1t, furnished it. You have out
lined its methods Of management, and
it is what you believe should be CON-
pretended in the modern hotel"
The colonial tavern, which would not
be tolerated for a moment in our days,
was adapted to it's times. To speak of
1t as being superior to the modern hos
coach, which left you more weary and
worn at the end of hundred miles
than the palace coach does today at
the end Of thousand miles, was SUI
perior vehicle Of travel to those used
on the modern railroad.-Hotel World.

SENTENCE SERMONS.

No one Is defeated until he gives up.
Hard times has a good many rela-
tives. 1t is the twin brother of the
blues.
That man has failed who has not
been able to keep good opinion of
himself
Self control will succeed with one
talent where self indulgence will fail
with ten.
What the superior man seeks is in
himself. What the small man seeks
is In others.
There Is no disgrace in unprevent-
able poverty. The disgrace is in not
doing our level best to better our con-
dition.
Poverty itself is not so bad as the
poverty thought. 1t is the conviction
that we are poor and must remain SO
that is fatal.
Confidence Is the Napoleon in the
mental army. 1t doubles and trebles
the power of all the other faculties.
The whole mental army waits until
confidence leads the way.-Success.

VEL tcii He, OH, ei"e -"
Marie-that is, Missis Dur
nOvo-has gone back to her
: L people at Sierra Leone"
Thus spoke Joseph to his master one
afternoon in March, not so many years
ago. They were ON board the steamer
Bogamayo, which good vessel was
pounding down the west coast of Afri-
ca at her best speed. The captain
reckoned that he would be anchored at
Loango by half past or O'Clock that
evening". There were only seven pas
sengers on board, and dinner had been
ordered an hour earlier for the con-
venience Of all concerned. Joseph was
packing his masters clothes in the
spacious cabin allotted to him. The
owners Of the steamer had thought it
worth their while to make the finder Of
the simiacine as comfortable as cir
cumstances allowed. The noise Of that
great drug had directed toward the
west coast of Africa that floating scum
of ne'er-do- Weldon which is ever on
the alert for some new land Of promise.
"WhO told you that?" asked Jack,
drying his hands on a towel.
"One of the stewards, sir; a man
that was laid up at Sierra Leone in
the hospital
Jack Meredith paused for a moment
before going on deck. He looked out
through the open portfolio toward the
blue shadow ON the horizon which was
Africa, a country that he had never
seen three years before and which had
all along been destined to influence his
whole life.
ut was the best thing she could do"
he said 1T is to be hoped that she
will be happy"
Eyes, sir, it is. She deserves it, If
that goes for anything in the heavenly
reckoning. She's fine woman; good
woman that, sir"
ayes"
Joseph was folding shirt very care
fully.
"a bit dusky," he said, smoothing
out the linen folds reflectively, "but l
shouldn't have minded that If / had
been a Marryin' man, but Pm not"
He laid the shirt in the portmanteau
and looked up. Jack Meredith had
gone on deck.
While Maurice and Jocelyn Gordon
were still at dinner that same even
ing a messenger came, announcing the
arrival Of the Bogamayo in the roads.
This news had the effect of curtailing
the meal. Maurice Gordon was liable
to be called away at any moment thus
by the arrival of steamer. 1t was
not long before he rose from the table
and lighted a cigar preparatory to 60
ing down to his Office, where the cap
tain Of the steamer was by this time
probably awaiting him. 1t was full
moon, and the glorious golden light OF
the equatorial night shone through the
high trees like new dawn. Hardy
a star was visible; even those of. the
southern hemisphere pale beside the
southern moon.
Maurice Gordon crossed the open
space of cultivated garden and plunged
into the black shadow OF the forest.
His footsteps were inaudible. Sud-
denly he ran almost into the arms OF
man.
"Who the devil is that?" he cried.

The plaintiff claimed that he had been
severely injured by a car leaving the

suit Of this injury for over two years,
and was still suffering.
Dr. Walton testified that he had ex-
amined the plaintiff and that in his opin-
ion the symptoms that the plaintiff COM
planned of were within his own control
and were not genuine.
Upon discrimination Waldo Reed,
Of Fall River, took each symptom sepa-
rately and made each into n question

we American women felt sore that our
Presidents daughter should live four days
