And yet when ne did appear with cocoanut sbau prlmming with clear, sparkling l,ouid she felt as though the elixir or Iifa had peen proffered her.
 She seized the shell with both hands which yet so trembled that most of the precious water spilled on her dress as she carried it to her marched line rms was good in the end, for if that vessel had been the famed Jotuneheim drinking horn, she would have drained It dry ere she set it down. AS if wac she got but little; yet that little was enough to set her heart beating once more.

If he had meant harm, present harm, surely he would not have given the water. She ate it confidently.
 As the man saw her partake of what he had given her, he cIapped his hands and laughed. She was grateful for that laugh. It was more human than the babbling sounds which he made before.

MISS THE LIGHT AND NOISE
Reasons Why Some Towuspeonie Arc Unable to Live Comfortably gs
 the Country.

The necessity which some peonie feel for noisy surroundings was men. toned by famous specialist in xiv ing a medical explanation of the case of little Horace Collins, the heroic messenger boy, says the London Daily Mail. The lad. although able to grati. fy every wish as the guest of Lord Lansdowne at Bowood house. has q mastering longing for the hustle and light of the London streets.
 Tt Is a very clear case of nostalgia. |" said the doctor "A person suffering like that hss lost two everyday friends, as it were-noise and light. It is en. tirely due to the nerves. Our nervous system gets into a pronounced groove In accordance with the everyday con- dition under which we live. A sud. den change in living throws the nerv- ous system out of gear Both light and noise are nervous stimuli to peo. pie who live amid noise and light, Take away the comradeship of noise and light. and the nervous system loses two stimulants necessary to it's well being and suffers in consequence.
 With the boy Collins the fact that he does not see policemen troubles him. because policemen to him have become an important part of the rat. Hral scheme of things.
 "A very similar case occurred with a London housekeeper of mine. She was sent away to the country, and simply could not endure to live there. She missed the companionship of noise so much that she had to be brought back to town again quickly. for her health was beginning to suf. fer"

Recoanlzed Hiaher Power.

King James I. of England, although keenly alive to his own divine right, yet recognized the power of the house of commons. Sir Robert Cotton was one of the 12 members to carry the famous declaration against monopolies to the king at Newmarket. When the king caught sight of them he called out: "Oh! chairs. chairs; here be twaP kynges comin." His majesty mounted his horse on one occasion, to find his usually quiet steed in restive mood The de'il f my saul, sirrah.' said the king to the prancing brute. "and you be no quiet Ise send you to the 500 kings in the house of commons. They'll quickly tame you"
