Burke Cameron sauntered down the deserted street one sweltering after noon. thinking ruefully of the neces- sity that forced him to spend a month in the city in such weather Some thing struck him lightly on the hat brim, and cluster of purple wistaria fell on the bricks at his feet. Quickly raising his eys to the brown stone front he saw only closely shattered dwelling. covered with a luxuriant wis., taria vine in full bloom. over the gioonily boarded front door was a small balcony so closely shielded with vines and blossoms that his keen walked on, twirline his flower by the stem. when his eye caught a bit of paper pinned in the midst of the fra grant purple, and upon which was written in a lady's hand the one word Help" Quickly returning, he sprans up the low, broad steps to the boarded entrance and seized the hasp of the small door cut in the boards. TO his surprise it yielded to his hand, as also and instantly he found himself in a still. cool, spacious hallway with bare polished floor and tall grim doors lead ing from it. The wistaria was doubt less flung from the little balcony. He sped lightly up the long flight, two steps at a time. At the top he found himself face ta face with beautiful girl. Her finger was upon her lips as she led him. wondering, into large, cool room attrctive with light summer furnishings, rare Oriental rugs and rich paintings Long French windows looked out upon a balcony, wreathed in wistaria. His sense drank in the beauty of the quiet. elegant apart ment, calm in the subdued light fil- tering through the green vines and violet-hued flowers, and the graceful girl in her soft. pink gown, her starry eyes now dropping shyly before the alert inquiry of his gaze.
 You are a brave man." she mur- mured.
 Burke was slightly embarrassed.
 You are brave" persisted the girl Some men would have gone for the police breaking Into bright smile. And that would have been a pity demufely.
 "A great pity" agreed Burke. And such a man would have deserved his fate"
 aOh, he wouldn't have had any fate.'' Not the happy one that is mine, surely"
 She seated herslf. motioning him to a chair A tinkle of ice in thin glass es announced the approach of a gentle looking woman who, without a word, deposited refreshments upon a low willow table. From her belt hung Q small writing pad and a pencil. The girl wrote something on the pad, the lady wrote something in reply, and then retired to discreet distance and became absorbed In reading. A deaf and dumb woman, the companion of this lovely grill He dreaded the mo- ment that would send him away.

As Al suRscRIRER NEWS IT.

The names of subscribers are com ing in for the Jubilee book of the 2soth anniversary as fast as The Bulletin anticipated that they would. This book Is essential to the proper completion of the event. and It's publication was assumed by The Bulletin as matter of civic pride rather than as specu- lative enterprise. There is no money in 1t for the printer. One citizen has ordered 24 copies and one 10, and these are the only large individual orders.
 An order from a New York sybscrib- CT, who has no other interest than the interest awakened by a few years of residence here, reads:
 "PIease have my name put down Tor one of the celebration books. want It for two reasons: First ] want to be able to read the whole thing and study the pictures at my leisure; sec ond, it is an investment--ycur two dolar book will be in demand at SS or better before you and l get through selling things. There are people Iiv- ing in Norwich now who won't order and whose children will be begging for copies at any price in 1s25.'
 This is the truth. If The Bulletin does not print an edition larger than 500 copies. the book may be in such demand that it will go to . premium at once.
 No agents will be sent out to solicit orders, because that would add to the cost of the edition. Names of subscrfb- CTS should be sent in to the business manager of The Bulletin.

throughout the civilized world for so long that its origin has been lost. Like the man without a country, 1t has be- come cosmopolitan. It is not strange that it has been propagated for It's beauty by all nations. It has little standing as cut flower, but, like the gladioli, it will open all it's buds in wa ter after being cut. If you are a close observer you will see that it is first cousin to all the mallows, the flowers of which show close kinship to it. Only an occasional poet has sung of it's creeping up it's stalk or of its striking beauty. The fan of the palmleaf is to be seen in the radiating ribs of It's leaves: and those who have experi- mented with 1t find that the seedpods from the top of the stalk make better plants than seed taken from pods low CT down; and that from the same seed pod white and variety of red flowers may be grown. The bees mix the pol- len and its variability is one of the things which makes it interesting.
 The "waaes of sin Is death," ana some one has paraphrased 1t thus. the wages of gin Is breath"' The last, perhaps. will be better understood than the first. The first used to be quoted oftener than 1t. is today, but 1t was never made clear 70 tne coLHfnoh Aiihu; We see so-cailed old sinners hale and hearty at 75, and good men dying at s5 or 55. Man sins wofully through ig- norance, by his excesses. It is a sin to violate the laws of one's being; and the wages of this kinf of sin, which Is prevalent, is death. The price of health is temperate living and activ- ity. To keep the good things God has given us we have got to make a prop CT use of them, and indulge in no through the mouth. We ca. recklessly, we drink foolishly; we court luxury, leisure and idleness, the reward of which is death. The idea that. the good die young and that the good for nothing live long because they are too mean to die is all bosh.

This seems to be an unusually good season for toads. There are more in the garden this year than 1 ever saw before. Someone has said that five toads equal in service a hired man. A score Of them make me feel that employ hired help. Some toads are all spots and appetite. and their rotundity shows how industrious they have been They do not stop eating until their skins are tight. Neither the dog nor the. cats venture to bite them. They do not look inviting for company or for food. They are said to be capable of answering to a name like a dog, and the Rev. MT. Wood, the English naturalist, had one that answered tc the name of Emma No one can tell just how long a toad lives. Some found in water rocks are believed to have lived untold ages. Nothing about a toad gives its age away. It sits and winks like an owl, and that is all you know about it.

A clever device this IS, Dut or all tne highways in the world only very few reed to be set apart for travel in one direction only. AS a rule those are the best roads on which all kinds of people are travelling both coming and going. There was time when the main high ways from the Atlantic states to the in terior were given up chiefly to immi- grant wagons in which Adventurous spirits were faring forth to the broad prairies hoping there to ind new op- portunities and perhaps a fortune. But in time the tide of traffic set eastward again and this country is all the richer today because the west has it's special contribution to make to the east and because constant interchange of prod ucts and of ideas is had between the two sections.
