AnmaHktng nj thr
Sympathetic
BY ISABEL ~BRooKE-ALDER.

their chief support in the harsh battle of life is the reassuring remem-
brance that Kind hearts are more than coronets" But subsequo OBJ
servation would undoubtedly prove that only a few. of them are 30 irwin
chilly dependable in their own line Of excellence as they profess to be-
ieve and would have us imagine.
Many a time and oft are we, heir associates, brought up with a
sudden shock of discriminating surprise at finding that their renowned
sympathy is not nearly so comprehensive Is we had chariaby conjectured.
Some memorable instances of the failure of the credited "sympa-
thetc' person to act up to a privately erected standard must be fresh in
the experience of every wordcitzen; in fact, they flock to the mind, not
single spies but in bahaions, to tear down from its proud eminence that
too boastful ensign.
There is, for instance, the chairman Of a certain society Cor the bene-
at of the distressed, a man whose eloquence moves wealthy rogues and
arrogant despots in various walks of life to most unexpected beneyolence;
A man who-behodng the enormous success of his unremitting labors
on behalf Of the poor creatures to whom he is pleased to devote his fine
mental Northumberland fail to congratulate himself on his fitness
for the post he holds with such d~stinction-and, incidentally, with a
solid emolument. Surely he of all men may blameslessly pose as the
human embodiment Of sympathy
But apply to his office underlngs, his clerks paid at the lowest rate
practicable for their retention, who in case of a few days absence from
their desks through illness find their months salary locked of the miser-
able sum for which they have not actually toied. Small sympathy"
there for the needy invahds difficulty in paying for medical treatment
and necessary remedies! But it is emmenty typical of the man-of
him who insists on the constant presence of his meek little wife every
evening whilst he obscures his august person by outspread newspapers
and almost impenetrable clouds of smoke, in spite of the fact that long
hours of silence bore her, and the smell of tobacco makes her head ache.

HIS KIND CRUELTY
~
By JUDITH SPENCER

The doctors had agreed that 1t was
overwork, and that Percival Challoner
had narrowly escaped brain fever 30
they ordered him away and prescribed
two months of rest-of perfect ldle'
ness.
His choice lay between the sea ana
the mountains, and Challoner chose
the sea. He had always hated tash-
ionable crowds and counted himself
lucky in finding a picturesque yet not
over-popular spot upon the coast, ana
in that place a piquant and charming
girl with whom he could spend long
hours in pleasant chat, and take MS
morning walk along the shore.
The days were perfect summer
days; work, study, reading of every
kind had been forbidden him, and so
with nothing whatever to do and a
pretty and bright young creature just
at hand, what could be more prob
able or more natural than for hal
loner to fall in love?
Madge Winthrop was openly pleased
with his attentions, and it seemed
quite natural to her that they should
be much together since an elder gen
Grafton of C~halloners and Winthrops
had been close friends. But Chal-
Toner could see that while his feeling
for his fair companion quickly deep
ened into love, her attitude toward
him continued to be that of frank and
free good compradeship.
There was but one of Madge's
amusements in which he could not
share, and that was the sea bathing.
1t as doubly a deprivation to him,
since he was an expert swimmer, and
also because Madge took to the water
like a veritable nymph of the sea.
But the physicians had said that this
exercise was too violent for him now,
and they had positively forbidden it.
One morning after a storm, when
the waters had a dark and angry look,

Struck the Girl Upon Her White Face.

Struck the Girl Upon Her White Face.
Mrs: Donald, Madge's aunt and chap
erone, begged her not to go in that
day. But Madge laughed at her
fears,
There were fewer bathers from the
hotel than usual that morning, and of
those who ventured in, most, for
some reason, kept quite near the
sho e.
But Madge, either from a spirit of
bravado or from utter lack of any
sense of danger, swan out and out,
until she was far beyond the break
ers and away from everyone.
Challoner sat on the bluff and
watched her as usual, but with an IN
usual n of irritation which at
last changed to anxiety and then
alarm. Suddenly he sprang up. some

A New York woman who was pining
for a family tree-not a pine tree
from which she could pick of a few
kings for ancestors, hired a man to
look her up and see who she was.
When he searched through the dust
covered records and discovered that
King Alfred the Great was one of her
ancestors she refused to pay him the
$500 he charged for the work. So he
had to sue her for the bill. OF course
a duke in the hand may be worth
more than a king ON the tree, but to
people who feel that they are better
than their neighbors 1t looks as If
$500 was cheap enough for furnishing
them with an excuse for feeling that
way. OF course there is the other
side to it. When one goes back as far
as King Alfred there is a possibility
of getting the wires crossed so that
the results are not always safe to bet
on. In fact, the skillful professor
doubtless could discover a kingly pedi-
gree for most Of us for $500 If we al
lowed him to go back far enough.

THE WORRIED WOMEN

SThey say men must work ana

have to work and weep at the

too few and their work heavy

nervous and irritable. The de-
pressed and worried woman loses
her appetite and grows thin and
feeble. Once in while she has
spells of palpitation and has to
lie up for a day or two. Ii some
disease like influenza or malarial
fever happens to prevail she is
almost certain to have an attack
of it, and thst often paves the
