Odd Boarding Houses.

had taken refuge. while a still smaller
number were from women who ca

entirely new line of thought 1t had
never occurred to me to inquire how
deaf and dumb strangers live In this
big town. To learn that they join
the ranks of nomadic boarders made
me feel sorry; don't know why"

LACK OF MONEY
Was a Godsend In This Case.

It is not always that a lack Of
money Is a benefit.
A lady of Green Forest, Ark, owes
her health to the fact that she could
not pay in advance the fee demand
ed by specialist to treat her for
stomach trouble. In telling Of her
case she says:
II had been treated by four differ.
ent physicians during 10 years of
stomach trouble. Lately I called on
another who told me he could not cure
me; that had neuralgia of the stom.

sight of herself in the glass in her

She remained musing before the
glass. the papers now held to her
breast. "A hand he could love to

this thought and all that the verses

reason of her love more perfectly than
the man had been able to do the hor-

The glass reflected her serious and
lovely face, and gradually the sun.

day, came out from behind the fog
as the sunrise sent one burst of bright

eyes were of visions, and the glorious
luminence hurt her with its cruel
beauty.

Gradually the brief sunlight passed
and the melancholy aspect of the
cloudy day definitely filed the room
and the glass ceased to be enchanted.

Midshipman Smith, who was strick-
en- with typhoid fever on the Indiana
at Plymouth, England, contracted the
disease, 1t is said, from smoking q
briar used nearly year ago by his
roommate at Annapolis who had a bad
case of typhoid. This theory is taken
as proof that concentrated nicotine
cannot destroy a typhoid germ. The
medical department of the navy will
examine into the theory with the re-
suit that midshipmen of the future
may confine themselves to their own
pipes.

up for him, the day at Penthuen came
forcibly to her mind. With just as
much delight as shs remembered her
hours with Tempest, with just so
much distaste did she recall Lady Or
mond. She cried to herself:
II must be sure indeed-very sure
he must want me very much in
deed"
After a aleepless night, she let the
following morning go by with no
word or sign to Craven. When the
last of the interminable hours had
dragged themselves to their end Polly
Ramsdill brought her a note from
Mrs. Henly.
"You can't have gone, miss! You
couldn't go ! am sure. Remember,
he is all alone"
With her heart on the rack, her
steps turned tina ard again Craven
ward, and d spirit, If unworthy, Ger,
tainly very feminine, pulling her
back to reason and to patient wait
ing for some sign to come to her from
the master of Craven, she let pass
three dreadful days. They marked
her life with suffering. At the third,
on its early morning, she woke to
hear a horse coming up. 1t was gray
dawn, no more, hardly light, and her
window was clear of shade or blind.
Lying as she was, she could see in
the little mirror the bit of sky, the
meadow in the mists, and the road.
She saw too the rider who came at a
mad pace and drew rein-Tempest
himself, his soft hat pulled we'll over
his face. He spoke a second with
Mrs. Ramsdill and left a package in
her hands and, turning, rode off as
madly as ever knight could from a
belle dame sans merci. The mists
clouded the glass. and Lucy Carew
was weeping when Mrs. Ramsdill
came with the parcel for her. For a
long time she held 1t unopened, not
daring to break the envelope. She
knew that whatever the contents
might be, the rest of life would be
for her henceforth as they should
read.
Some dozen sheets of manuscript
fell into her hands. She bent over
the difficult handwriting-that of one
who has written in his sleep, or who
rises In the night to transcribe his
thoughts in the dark. The uncertain
aspect of the lines moved her with a
great wave OF tenderness that car
ried her to him like a sea. and as
she followed the wonderful words she
sat as one held in spell-marvelling
-confused-overwhelmed. One after
another the famous sonnets to Lucia
fell under her eyes. 1t was the con-
clusion of the old, beautiful theme.
The series was complete-the suite
had reached at last it's mature and
mellow-its perfect-conclusion
The verses she beheld were immor-
tal-they were luminous; in spite of
the trembling transcription, they
shone and burned on the pages in the
girls hands. They were all for her
all for her.
She rose unsteadily with burning
cheeks and eyes that glowed through
the tears. She started as she was to-
wards the door with the fluttering

st. Paul. Mimi. Oct 12.-In the
United States circuit court here today,
Judge p. +. Dunno. general counsel of
the Southern Pacific railroad. con-
eluded mis- argument on behalf of the
railroads in the gOVernment's suit to
dissolve the merger of the Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific railroads.
Judge DUNES argument today was de-
voted TO percentages OF revenue and
tonnage, and was largely technical.
He was followed by n. II. LOomis,
general solicitor of the Union Pacific
who urged that the Union Pacific was
forced to secure the Central Pacific,
running from ogden to San Francisco,
because IL was vital 10 its existence
as a transcOntinental line, and that the
acts of Congress authorizing the con-
struction of the Union Pacific and Cen
tral Pacific contemplated that the lines
should be consolidated so as TO make
a through connected route from the
Missouri river to the Pacific.
Former Senator John c. Spooner then
took up the final arguments for the
railroads, and Will conclude tomorrow

low with the argument in rebuttal for
the government.
