Preaching That UpIifts.

The world SCENE a pretty bad place
to most of us at times. There are
so many things which take the heart
out OF our optimism. that seem to
make it a meaningless hope rather
than any solid assurance. But the
kind of preaching that comes from
somebody who is better than We are,
some life that lifts up the standard
of human worth and reveals what II
may be made to stand for-such
preaching is likely to answer the cry
within us for something that is true
and genuine and dependable.-Haver.

talked OF the daring OF the American
woman; who but a Frenchwoman
would have dared what she had this
night? The taxicab! She laughed.
And this man was wax In the hands OF
any pr city who came along!
So runlor had it. But she knew that
rumor was only the attenuated ghost
Of Anania doomed forever to remain
on earth for the propagation of mac
curate whispers. Wax! Why, she
would have trusted herself in any sit
uation with a man with those eyes and
that angle Of jaw. 1t was all very
mystifying. Follow him; see where
he goes" The frank discussion, then,
and tn calm dismissal were but a
woman Is discrimination. And he had
gone to Flora Desimone's.
The carriage stopped before a hand
some apartment house in the Avenue
de Wagram. The unknown got out,
gave the driver his fare, and rang the
concierge's bell. The sleepy guardian
opened the door, touched his gold
braided cap in recognition, and led the
way I'd the small electric lift. The
young woman entered and Familiarity
pushed the button. The apartment IN
which she lived was on the second
floor; and there was luxury every
where, but luxury subdued and
charme by taste.
She threw aside her hat and wraps
with that name of inconsequence
which distinguishes the artistic tenn
perame mt from the thrifty one, and
passed on into the coy dining room.
The maid had arranged some sand
witches and a bottle of light wine. She
ate and drank, while intermittent
smiles played across her merry face.
Having satisfied her hunger, she
opened her purse and extracted the
banknote. She smoothed it out and
laughed aloud.
"Oh, if only he had taken me for a
ride In the taxicab!" She dubbed
again with merriment.
Suddenly she sprang up, as II In
spired, and dashed into another room,
a study. She came back with pen and
ink, and with a celebrity that came OF
long practice, drew five straight lines
across the faint violet face of the bank
note. Within these lines she made lit
tie dots at the top and bottom OF
stubby perpendicular strokes, and
strange interlineal hieroglyphics, and
sweeping curves, all Of which would
have puzzled an Psychologist If he
were unused to the ways of musicians,
Carefully she dried the composition,
and then put the note away. Some
day she would confound him by re
turning it.
A little later her fingers were NOV
ing softly over the piano keys; melo
dies in minor, sad and haunting and
elusive, melodies that had never been
put on paper AM you'd always be hel
own; In them she might leap from
comedy to tragedy, from laughter tc
tears, and only she would know. The
midnight adventure wal forgotten, and
the hero of it, too. With her eyes
closed and her 1.-the body swaying
gently, she let the old weary pain In
her heart take hold again.

Rhubarb PIE,

Cut the large stalks of where the

pieces half an inch long; line a pie
dish with paste rolled rather thicker
than a dollar piece. put e layer OF
the rhubarb nearly an inch deep. 70
a quart bowl of cut rhubarb put a
large teacupful of sugar; strew 1t
over with a tablespoonful Of salt and
a little nutmeg grated: shake over a
little flour; cover with a rich pie
crust, cut a slit in the center, trim on
the edge with a sharp knife and bake
in a quick oven until the pie loosens
from the dish. Rhubarb pies made
in this way are altogether superior
to those made of the fruit stewed.

CHAPTER III.
The Beautiful Tigress.

me Beautiful Ttgress.
Flora Desimone had been born in a
Calabrian peasants hut, and she had
rolled in the dust outside, yelling Wig
orously at all times. Specialists de-
clare that the reason for all great
singers coming from lowly origin is
found in this early development of the
throat. Parents of means employ
nurses or sedatives to suppress or at
least to smother these ~infantile pro-
tests against being thrust inconsider-
ately into the turmoil of human be-
ings. Flora yelled or slept, as the
case might be-; her parents were
equally Indifferent. They were too
busily concerned with the getting Of
bread and wine. Moreover, Flora was
one among many. The gods are al
ways playing with the Calabrian PEN
insula, heaving it up here or throwing
it down there; II terremoto, the earth
quake, the terror. Here nature tink-
ers vicariously with souls; and she sell
dom has time to complete her work.
Constant communion with death
makes for ~callosity of feeling; and the
Calabrians and the Sicilians are the
cruelest among the civilized peoples.
Flora was ruthless.
She lived amazingly we'll in the pre-
mier Of an apartment-hotel in the
Champs-Elysees. In England and
America she had amassed a fortune.
Given the warm beauty of the south

ment, the love of mischief, the natural
cruelty, the inordinate craving for at
tention and fiattery, she enlivened the
nations with her affairs. And she nev.

repeated failures to save us from

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafnesr and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian tube. When this tube is in
famed yon have rumbliug sound
or imperfect hearing and when it
is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases ont of ten are caused
by catarrh. which is nothing but
an intlamed condition of the mu
