She had gone back, past the hard years, the weariness and the toll, to earlier days. had spoken of the ring he had promised her. Un- conscious of his presence, her lips had feebly breathed forth the long ing which had endured all through her life.
 Those who passed by saw only a man broken before his time by that which mad brought his man. hood to the dust, yet not one could sense the turmoil in his mind, wakened for a brief space to- thoughts of what might have been. His eyes were fixed on the array of glittering rings. and the sales girl drew closer, watching him narrowly. She had seen such an avid look before. Hobo Henry be- came conscious of her gaze. and touched with a dirty forefinger one of the most sparkling rings.
 "How much?" he asked.
 "Fifteen cents"
 Fifteen cents! Fifteen cents stood between him and starvation. Yet-Sally was dyingl The import of the doctors verdict came home to him at last. Sally was dying without her ring-he had but 15 cents-he was hungry!
 "Ill take it."
 Sarah Mallett was still living. weaker, but still living. The man hood which had famed in Henry's soul a short time before flared again. Slowly he raised her hand, SO thin and knotted, and slipped the glittering circle upon her | finger.
 What mysterious, blessed al chemy turned the gaudy, cheap | ring into a circlet of living gold, recalling for one last minute the fieeting spirit of Sally Mallett? Slowly her eyes opened, the soul which looked through them was clear-yet-who knows whom she saw?
 Was it Harry, her boyish lover. or Hobo Henry, the man whom she had supported for twenty years? Surely her eyes were gold en and memory did it's kindly work. AS he raised her hand till her weary eyes could see the ring she smiled.
 "Harry!"
 The sky had been heavily cloud ed all day, but the sun broke though the clouds and a ray of light touched the cheap little love token into glorious fire as Hobo Henry bent over his wife and the | lips that touched her cheek were not as those of Hobo Henry. the | drunkard, but the clean lips Of Harry Mallett, the lover of thirty years ago.
 As Nurse Bradley came on duty the next morning she whispered to Nurse Smith:
 That poor Mrs Mallett's hus- band is dead-Hobo Henry knocked down by car as he left the hospital last night. pr Brown said he was weakened by hunger. He died an hour ago." Nurse Smiths eyes filled with tears. though she smiled as she spoke:
 Mrs MaIlett died about the same time-and do you know, she made me promise not to remove that cheap ring If she should die?s' Copyright, 1884, The Chicago Daily

This is story Of how
Marion county rabbit did every
thing but commit suicide to
furnish Johnny (Hole-in-One)
Vaughn with all the game he got
in a recent hunting trip.
Johnny, who is pro at the

hurried over to see whether he
had scored. The rabbit was mo-

thought he was dead.
He lost his balance and stepped
on it. breaking the rabbits neck.
An inspection showed no shot
wounds in the body and Johnny
assumes that the rabbit was so
scared at the report Of the gun
that it remained frozen on the
spot to be killed by being stepped

their surfaces, like finger tips feeling their way.
AS the nerve progresses, special cells develop
along its course. They hug the sides closely,
though they take no part in its actual growth
process nor in its function as q nerve. These
are known as the sheath cells" Finally, as
the nerve becomes more mature, it develops
around itself q layer of fatty material called
the "myelin sheath"
"A CONSPICUOUS feature Of mature fiber
is the myelin sheath q fatty covering
which incases the nerve fiber and protects in
sulates and nourishes it," Prof Speidel ex-
planned.
'"This sheath is in the form of segments ar
ranged somewhat like a string of sausages As
it responds quickly to irritation Of almost any
sort, it is an excellent indicator Of alcohol ef-
fects. It may degenerate partially degen-
crate even though the nerve axis within it re-
mains alive. 1t never persists, however, if the
nerve axis degenerates

In very dilute alcohol, less than hve-tenths
Of per cent, Prof Speidel found that tadpoles
may live definitely with little or no indication
of any special nerve irritation. In much
stronger alcohol solutions, more than per
cent, death usually ensues within an hour or
two. The skin suffers direct injury in these
cases.
Alcohol solutions In the neighborhood Of 2
per cent brought on marked changes In the
nerves
In one case an animal was kept in 22 per
cent alcohol for five hours. At the end Of this
period it was dazed and could be examined
without the use Of any anesthetic.

already breaking up into fragments
The animal was replaced in pond water, and

the next two days. two more of the swollen
myelin segments broke up into ovoids. The
others slowly recovered.

face injunction of the myelin sheath and the
nerve axis plays the chief role in conducting
nervous impulses.
IF this BE- true" commented Prof. SpeideI,
"my observations on tadpole nerves reveal q
direct structural basis for the explanation of
the functional disturbances associated with
strong alcoholic intoxication
In other words, the reason why a drunken
man cannot walk or talk straight and is more
or less insensible to pain may be that the
sheath has separated from the axis of certain
of his nerves.
The complete degeneration of myelin sheath
segments by strong alcoholic intoxication is per-
manent, but the slight irritative changes from
mild daily intoxication Of brief duration are
quickly repaired, Prof. Speidel found.

was subjected to prolonged and repeated intox-
ication by alcohol This proved to be entirely
feasible My records now include many case
histories OF nerve fibers which demonstrate that
practically all gradations Of irritation and in
jury may be induced by alcohol treatment"
Prof. Speidel has made motion pictures d.
rectly from living animals showing such irri-
tated nerve fibers.
Poisoning Of nerve cells by alcohol depends
upon the concentration Of alcohol in the blood
and body fluids" he continued in his explana-
ton Of his latest findings
It matters little how the alcohol enters the
body. In the tadpole it was given by way OF
the skin. Alcohol permeates the moist skin OF
the frog tadpole readily, he found. In this re-
spect the tadpole's skin can be compared in the
lining of the alimentary tube Of man, which
absorbs alcohol rapidly.
Prof Speidel sought answers to the following
interesting set Of questions:
Cd Do visible structural changes take place
in nerves during alcoholic intoxication?
(2) Can complete degeneration Of myelin
sheath segments be induced?
CD Does repeated alcoholic intoxication stop
