 In this circumstance, indeed, was comprised the singular charm the house had for its occupants. The quality which insured them privacy and a quiet independence rendered them oblivious to it's many minor drawbacks, it's lack of many conven- fences and luxuries which have of late grown to be so commonly regarded as necessities. It boasted, for instance, no garage; no refrigerating system maddened those dependent npon it; dissipated electric lighting system never went out of nights, because it had never been installed; no brass bound hall boy lounged in desuetude upon the stoop and took too intimate and personal an interest in the ten ants correspondence. The inhabi- tants, in brief, were free to come and go according to the dictates of their consciences, unsupervised by neigh borly women folk, unhindered by a parasitic corps of menials not in their personal employ
 Wherefore was Maitland astonished, and the more so because of the season At any other season of the year he would readily have accounted for the phenomenon that now fell under his observation. on the hypothesis that the woman was somebody's sister or cous- in or aunt. But at present that expla- nation was untsnable; Maitland hap pened 10 know that not one of the oth- CT men was in New York, barring himself; and his own presence there was thing entirely unforeseen.
 Still incredulous, he mentally conned the list: Barnes, who occupied the first flat, was travelling on the con tinent; Conkling. of the third, had left fortnight since to join yachting party on the Mediterranean; Bannister and Wilkes. of the fourth and fifth floors. respectively. were in Newport and Buenos Aires.

 He had keenly obseryant eyes, had Maitland, for all his detached pose you are to understand that he com prehended all these points in the flick ering of an instant. For the incident was over in two seconds. In one the lady's hesitation was resolved; in an other she had passed down the steps and swept by Maitland without giving him a glance, without even the trem- bling of an eyelash. And he had, view of her back as she moved swiftly away toward the avenue.
 Perplexed, he fingered upon the stoop until she had turned the corner; after which he let himself in with a

DYSPEPSIA
Peculiar Origin OF Many Cases
of This Trouble.
Its Victims Are Often Healthy
Looking and Otherwise Well
Except for This Dis
tressing Afflictlon.

Nervous dyspepsia, unlike other
forms of Indigestion. is a disease of the
nerves, not of the stomach. 1t is most
frequent in highly emotional or hys-
terical persons and is brought on by
any mental shock or excess, worry,
excessive grief, or sudden excitement.
Its victims are usually healthy looking
and have generally reached the age OF
maturity.
Being a disease of the nerves it must
be treated by strengthening the nerves
and the use of a good nerve tonic, such
as DR.. Williams Pink Pills, together
with a generous and nOurishing diet, is
the correct home treatment.
After suffering with nervous indiges-
ton for over two years Mrs. George
p. Martin, of No. 16 Admiral street,
New Haven, Conn, tried DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. She tells of the great bene-
fit she received as follows:

DR.. Williams Pink Pills are useful in

Bow Accidentally Shot,

Ollie Rosser, 10 years of age, son
of w b. Rosser, who lives at Bee.
ton, four miles north of Cotton Plant,
was dangerously hurt Tuesday after
noon by the accidental discharge of
a pistol. The ball, which was of Il.
caliber, penetrated the wall OF the abb
domen and came out at a point on
the shoulder.
The accident occurred about
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. At The
time Rosser was riding a mule, and,
in attempting to remove his coat,
the lining caught the trigger OF the
pistol and caused the weapon to fire.
After being taken to his home it was
decided to send the boy 10 Little Rock
for treatment in a hospital
At the hospital, an examination of
the wound was made and il was stat
ed that the stomach had not been per-
forated by the bullet. There Is an
injury 10 one lung which may prove
serious and while the wounds are not
necessarily fatal. his condition is re
garded as grave.
