 In reply to MT.

I challenge him to the proof at home or abroad. That is my answer. I would not mention this reference to me but some person read ing this insinuation and knowing no better might be misled as to my hab- its and manner of life. The most pit fable feature here presented is that of man aspiring to the office of United States senator offering as an excuse for his admitted shortcoming that he followed the example of an other and thus attempts to exculpate himself and enlist sympathy by ac- cusing another of like weakness.

She went out into the dull street,
with its monotonous houses, all two
stories high, and she soon found the
telegraph office and sent Margeret's
duplicate message. She had not
glanced at 1t, but the clerk asked her
questions about words that were not
quite clearly written, and she was
obliged to read 1t through. It occurred
to her that it was couched in extreme
ly peremptory terms, even for an Of
Tended bride-elect; but that was none
of her business.
She resumed her walk, not knowing
whittier and not caring, always at the
same even pace, and hardly noticing
the people who passed her, of whom a
good many were in two-horse cabs,
some in queer little German motors,
and few on foot; and she thought,
and wondered, and tried to under
stand, but could not. At all events,
she was glad to be alone; she was
glad not to have even Van Torp with
her, and she was quite Indifferent to
the fact that time was passing, and
that Margaret was beginning to won

gracefully thoughtless of met"
She was just going to ring, but her
friend stopped her.
'No-please!" she cried. I'm all
right, indeed I am. The room is a lit
tie warm, think, and I've been shut
up in that stuffy train for 80 hours.
Have you written your telegram? I'll
put on my hat at once, and take It for
you. The little walk will do me good.
Where is the telegraph? But they can
tell me downstairs. Don't bother!
Walking always brings me round, no
matter what has happened"
She spoke nervously, in disjointed
phrases, in way not like herself, for
there was generally an air Of easy
calm in all she did, as If nothing
really mattered in the least, save
when she was deeply interested; and
hardly anything interested her now
except what she had made her work.
In all that belonged to that, she was
energetic, direct and quick.
Margaret was sure that something
was wrong, but let her go, since she
insisted, and Lady Maud folded the
written message and went to the door.
Just as she was going to turn the
handle Margaret spoke to her.

said with sudden decision, "for if you
do, / can go with you, and I'm dying

Margaret looked at her in surprise,
for it was only little while since she
had seemed much less ready to join
the party, and only willing to do so, if
at all, in order to please her friend.
She saw Margaret's expression.

A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a
baby proves itself to be nourishing and
easily digested and good for big and
little folks. A Brooklyn man says:
when baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin and
pale. This was, at first, attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming, but, in reality, the poor
little thing was starving, his mothers
milk not being sufficient nourishment.
"One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour, l suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk This baby
ate so ravenously that she fixed a sec
ond which he likewise finished.
1T was not many days before he for
got all about being nursed, and has
since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong
and robust, and as cute mischief.

foods, but he will have none of them,
