Miss Ora Kress Is Not interested In

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. : There Is one
young woman in this city who is not

of the anti-meat crusade. or the beef

Ora Kress. a Junior at the Woman's
Medical college Miss Kress is vege-

fad, but one who has never tasted
meat from the time OF her birth. 90
years ago.
Her father, DR.. D. II. Kress. super
intendent of the Seventh Day Advent
list sanatorium at Washington, d. c..
is an ardent advocate OF vegetarian
ism, and he has brought up his daugh-
ter in accordance with his views.
Miss Kress is none the worse on
for her abstinence from meat. Healthy
and robust. with clear complexion,
pleasant temperament and genial
disposition, she is the fayorite OF
friends and fellow-students.

laugh. "to see people gorging the
carcass of some dead animal or fowl

me.
why kill living things for food
when the earth is so generous with
her bounty of healthful. nourishing
food?"
do you believe in vegetarianism be-
cause 1t is healthful or because 1t is
humane?" she was asked.

Tempest so intensely desired what
he took the trouble to want at all
that he had no rule for the bearing Of
disappointments. he had until lately
admitted none. To accomplish what
he deigned to desire he put out what
ever effort was required on his part,
and with magnetism and intensity
drew things towards him. The facility
with which things slipped to his hands
spoiled him. Petulant of habit. impa-
tient and turbulent of temper. he
never waited-when his wish for
variety was delayed he went for 1t
and snatched it to himself.
But lately this life had undergone
a change. Precedent no longer would,
he knew, be indicative of his future.
His futurei Curse the word and
epoch! Why had he consented to ac-
cept one?
During the last three days his mind
had been resting in the contemplation
of gentle things. 1t had amused and
entertained him to take pleasure in
the. society of this woman of another
continent. whose presence alone was
so extraordinary, whose advent was
SO droll and unusual.

Except for the periods when he shut

During this last exile at Craven he
had alternately given thanks for his
liberty and the fact that no woman
was forced to share his miasmatic
humors. and alternately hated his I'M

the note which came instead of Lucy

forth scarcely cold on his face: he re-
read and turned IL over in hopes that

Either his desire for Miss Carew's

warrant his usual brusque storming of
her door. or he may have felt dan

lations with women. He did not so
much as look towards the rose-cov-

as chance would have 1t, was not

her sentiment for the man to whom

She looked at him curiously but not
