ened as a door here and there in the
street opened, and men and women
came forth, asking what had hap
pened, and without waiting for an
swer rushed toward the crowd, to
join the elbowing, jostling mass of
humanity, whose only excitement in
gray and sordid life was chance
row or fight between quarrelsome
neighbors or some accident such as
this, which now claimed their excited
attention.
Then at last as the girl in the open
doorway still stood gazing fearfully
out a woman came running breath
lessly straight toward her from the
thick of the crowd.

she gasped. Your 'usband's been
knocked down by horse an cart.
'E's lying there in the road, an be-

She put out rough but kindly arm
to support the girl, who swayed weak
ly, half fainting, after one agonized
cry.
Now, you just come inside, my
gall don't you go out in the road"

when a dreadful voice from some
where far away seemed crying con-
tinually in her dull brain, He's
dead, He's dead! And you parted
in anger! Jim's dead!"
When the cloud passed she found
herself at bedside, with a doctor
near her holding her arm and telling
her to cheer up and pull herself to-
gether.
Her eyes fell on her husbands face

"a year ago I was wreck from

II was astonished that she would

most healthful drink in the world for
children as we'll as for older ones, ana
that the condition of both the chill

fact.
'My first trial was a failure. The

the face of dead man, for his eyes
were wide open, gazing anxiously into
hers. She sprang to her feet then
with an eager cry, and the doctor,
with a slight smile on his grave face,
went softly out.
"Oh, Jim, forgive me--forgive
me-" she murmured on her knees be-
side him. I've been a bad wife to
you, and they told me you were dead.
Thank God, it's not true, and He's
given you back to me-"
The man held out his arms, am

felt her tears like rain upon his up-

"Lassie! lassie," he cried joyously.

and at last she had persuaded him to
leave the Hall and come up to the
city.
Her wish entirely, her persuasion,
and now what had it brought them
to? She got up and looked at herself
in little glass that hung on the wall,
looked long and anXiously. Was she
getting old and ugly, she wondered
fearfully? Certainly London air had
plucked the pink roses from her
cheeks and painted new shadows
about the gray eyes, but that was all.
The thick yellow brown hair was still

softly rounded, like thild's, where
dimples play. She stirred the dying
fire together and put ON kettle to

"JimIl be in soon now, for sure"
she told herself, as gentler mood
crept at last into her heart and the
brief passion died out. Poor old
dear, he'll be we'll nigh starved

She hurried and laid the table and
spread out a meal. The kettle was
singing when she had washed and
changed her dress and come down
again, and she went presently to the
front window and watched for him to
come along the street.
The postman stopped presently at
her door and left letter for Jim, but
that was all. and she waited still.
while the light faded about her, and
the kettle on the fire boiled and
boiled again unused. Seven O'Clock

For a strange, nervous fear was grip
ping slowly at her heart. If she went
out to look for her husband it would
be useless, and, besides, the country
bred girl shrank from venturing out
at dark in the noisy, crowded streets
alone. Suddenly above the sound of
hurrying feet and the rattle Of buses
and carts in the distant, broader thor
oughfares, girls shrill voice rang
out, and a woman's scream of fear
echoed back as If in answer. "Oh.
'e's killed! Els killed." and the
watcher in her dark room sprang to
the door, trembling with a swift ter
ror. Just across the narrow street,
where lamp threw its yellow rays
upon the ground, she could see a
gathering crowd, swaying and push

To Prevent Stream Pollution.

Fish commissioners representing
the Federal government and the
States of Ohio, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia have just concluded a
conference at Pittsburg devoted to a
discussion of the best means of pre-
venting the pollution of the waters Of
the Ohio river 1t was the consensus
of opinion that the status of this
State are defective, but that the other
two have codes approaching the ideal.
AS result, an appeal is to be made
to the Ohio legislature at the coming
session to enact new laws or amend
the old ones and bring them into har-
money with those of the other two.
Meanwhile an appeal is to be made to
congress for the enactment of meas
ures to prevent the pollution Of all
waters over which the central govern
ment has jurisdiction.

LARGE Crop of suItana Raisins.

A report from Consul General Ern-
est L. Harris at Smyrna, dated July
&c, states that this seasons crop OF
raisins in that Turkish district is esti-
mated at 100000 kintals (145, 5,230,O00
pounds), against 100000 kintals Cf0S,-
922,50 pounds) last year, the vines be-
ing overcharged with fruit. The quail
ity is not yet definite, as weatherlcon-
ditions in July and August have great
influence on the crop. 1t is feared
that prices OF sultanas this year will
be very low on account Of the large
crop, but the Ottoman government. has
proposed to submit to parliament
law prohibiting the expectation of sui
tanas of inferior quality, so as to sus-
tain prices and give chance for the
introduction of alcohol manufacturing
industries.-Consular Bulletin.

CHILD ATE CUTICURA.
Spread Whole Box Of 1t on Crackers
Not the Least Injury Resulted
Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.

A New York friend of Cuticura writes:
"My three year old son and heir, after
being put to bed on a trip across the At
lantic, investigated the stateroom and To-
Gated box of graham crackers and box
of Cuticura Ointment. When search was
made for the box, it was found empty and
the kid admitted that he had eaten the
contents of the entire box spread on the
crackers. 1t cured him of bad colds and
don't know what else"
No more conclusive evidence could be
offered that every ingredient of Gnticura
Ointment is absolutly pure, f%eet and
harmless. If it may be safely eaten by a
young child, none but the most Beneficial
results can be expected to attend tssappli-
cation to even the tendesest skin or
