It was raining, not hard, but a soft, widspering downfall that blurred the outlines of the hills, crowned with glory of deodar and rhododendron, and hardly flecked the smooth surface of the late that they held between them. The only two -Europeans out in the dreary afternoon were a young man and a girl, who had sheltered ruder a rock that orerheng a hill path same 3 fees above the water. The girl sat with hands clasped round her knee?, sailor has tilted over her eyes and damp hair straggling abect her forehead. She was looking across the lake at the hills above and beyond it, and the other, who, by his smooth young face, was hardly more than a boy, was looking as her. He had been playing polo. His white breeches and long boots were splashed and stained, and there was a glimpse of a Jersey under the covert coat. He was thin and white, and his eyes were anxious. "You are always right," he said, "and if ytm were not I should still be lieve in you. But is the thing so ira pcEsibier' "It is impossible," she said. "I dare not do it. I dare net take the best of yea now, giving my base metal for your gold and say, 'This is ray portion only mine. ' Do not mistake my meaning. I lore you well as I am able, but the mightiest love that I can produce is not fit to be weighed in the scale against yours. This is net my fault; it is my misfortune the. result, I think some times, of my Trpbrincing. Thank God, I n see my limitation.-, and to dc you to me now wosM be to cripple you for life, and in the end to daran Loth of us. This is your first love, you say. Is has been born tco scoe. It rssy not come to fruition. Neither shall it be poured cut for me, "who am nnworthy. Driven back into your heart again, it v. ill leave the power you now czrrend upon it to be used to ttter purpose." "You and I differ in our estimates of you,1 he said. 44 You pains yourself all weakness, all boUowness, all contradic tian, and yet here to my power, as you are pleased to call it, yen oppose a will so strong and infkrible that nothing I can do will bend it." "That is because I love you," she paid. "It is the utmost I can do my supreme effort. If I loved you a little less, if my eyes were not gifted for the time with this inner sight But, there, let us put aside sentimental considera tions for a moment and tbintc of what it means from the worMiy point of view. Aren't you penniless? Am I not thrift less and destitute of that femininity I can't define it better thzt most women get as their birthright? There's a super ficial cleverness about me which you, in your honest heart, admire, bus how far does it take me to getting IS annas for my rupee or putting a tidy hem to a dishcloth? I can't worry over these things in the approved hcusrwifcly fash ion." It's not in me. Trifles? Nov those are the realities of life. And, even cranting thr.t love could teach me these things which I doubt still you could not do it. Wouldn't yen nave to leave the rrgiment end give up your place among your equals and lose your right .10 let men know you for what you are?" "I can't put aside the consideration that I love vou better than all thes ,iT7c " hp said slowlv. "Is is the fin est regiment on earth, I admit, but you are the only woman. Well, yes, it would mean pevertv. That is why I am a mad man to ask you to share it. But you are not afraid of that." "Oh, ves, I ami' she said. "I am an arrant coward in adciricn to my other Ehartccurdncs. Only I could do with is because I have never known anything better. Yon don't know what is is. reallv. You have a bother to meet your bills sometimes, and that is bad, but they are paid somehow, and you don's have to da actually anything less than what the others do-men who have money and interest to set against your brains. Given time and no millstone round your neck, you will keep level, and then vouwiH begin to forge ahead- It is hard for a man to rise by sheer worth, tut it is possible, crriv he must hare a free hand and no one to thinfe ex but himself. 'Bu5 married The aspect would change at once. And even though you were still as good as other men, even nerhans a little better, I should know vrhat vou had missed, and why.

I see ; you waiting on without regret, and I gradually, gradually, the spirit is sap- j ped out of yen, the ambition to be any-, thing but as other men are.

Other people stronger than I will come by and ; influence me mare because they are nearer than vou. as a distance not be- i cause they can dim the love for you, i understand.' ! -Can you do without me;" he said. She wrenched herself away and burst into a wild fit of crying. "Ob. mv God, what a brute I amF' he said, "ily darling listen. Ah, stop ' crying. You. make my heart bleed. I i cannot assent to what you say of your- j self, I cannot follow what you say of me. You are more sensitive Shan I; you catch sounds and signs where I neither hear nor see. But I have learned enough to know that I only torture you by my persistence, and that I do not move you. one inch from your position. It is your wish that we should part, and so is muss be, and perhaps same day I shall understand. I know that you are mak ing a great sacrifice and that it is for me. You will forgive me if I cannot yes see clearly wherein is the urgent necessity. You stooped to me in your condescension, you made me your lover always. I loved you I worship you, ana i now. it to my nonor to nave had your love." He put his arm round her again,and drew her heed down to his shoulder, and her sobs shook him as they sat thus. Presentiv- the sobs became fewer, and i then came only at long intervals. She spoke at last. "It must be. I am not worth it not ', worth vour love. And you will be a better rrnn ves. and in the end a hap pier one. Believe in me if yon will ,as least it can do no harm now that we j are to be apart. HoM me close far a , minute, since it is the end. Oh, where , could the. world show another such ' lover?" 1 And from the future that was closing down upon them she plucked the veil savagely. j "I glad. Yes, I Slit glad to lose you." "You're tired. Sappose we sit is "out instead of daacingr' , "Yis, tht will do," said the girL '1 am tired." The music had begun before the man spoke, and two or three couples swept into the ballroom as he crossed it with the girl on his arm. It was a stuffy ; night, gemmed outside with the lights of the street and of carriages moving slowly before the entrance and crowded ; within by a London semi fashionable , throng, bent in a bored way upon amuse- j ment. The big hall, green with palms , and dark with carved oak, was full of a j kaleidoscopic mixture of bright dresses, 1 expansive shirs fronts, babble of voices j and laughter, and beyond there was a glimpse of the supper room, starred with lights and resounding with the jingle of plates and glasses. The " girl and the man walked through together and down a corridor to a couple at chairs in the shelter of a Japanese screen. Opposite them a French window framed a patch of garden hung about with paper lanterns, and above that came dusky tree tops and the stars. The girl, who was the girl of the hillside, leaned beck in lex chair and twisted a fan about with restless fin gers. Certainly at the moment she looked tired. The man twirled hja mus tache up, first one gide and then the other. Is was touched with gray, and his hair was flecked, teo, bet his face was that of a man in bis prime mas terful, square jawed and obstinate. There was a deep line from nostril to mouth corner, and his hands were strong and shapely. He crossed his legs, tilted his chair back until he coula watch the girl's profile without being guilty of staring and spoke. "I believe you wanted to speak to me?" "People take it for granted that I am am going to marry you. It is intolerable-" T fAiI" He dropped his mustache and tilted the chair back a little more. ' Why intolerable? Iain told I am a most eligible person.'' She twisted the fan nervously. 'I dare say. I do not want to discuss your eligibility. That is a matter which "does not concern me. What does concern me is that I will not be made the sub ject of these rumors. Yon know how thev ceme about and where the remedy Iies "Said remedy being, of course, my extinction, self produced? I know a bet ter one," f-Q." "Don't be in too much of a hurry with that negative. Consider a. moment. Is jt ail due to my persistence and my con stant presence? Doesn't some uf it come from a casual interest that you take in me, and that shows itself, as these things will, to a too observant world?" "Ian not in the least in love with you, if that is what you mean." 'On, no; not at aB. I am in love with you, and that suffices for the present But stiB, you take an interestj all the same." "I suppose se. It is thar you fascinate rae somehow, and your ccstinaey fright' ens me. J never met a man who was so little meved by my wishes and my Excuse me. I shall have the great est pleasure in gratifying some of your wishes." ' "Meaning, if I want a toy cut of a shep win cow. 2Ty wish is that yon take 'no' far an answer and go away.' "And that is what I will not do. No; I love you, audi am going to marry yoc Let there be no mistake about it. 3fylove may seem rasher brutal men's passions are brutal under seme condi tions but it is asolid affair and itwill give you. something firm to lean upon ana to stand by. You. will find me a fairly easy husband when you have real ized she futility of pouting at the in evitable. There is the tender side to my love that will give you much, be proud of you, cherish you and stick to you. I'm not a small minded person, and I am wonderfully easy to deal with when I have my own way. That will not be very difficult to give. It only wnnts yoc" "But why why why?" said the girL "Why should I give myself to you? Just to please your passion? I am not much of a woman, but I have a soul of sorts.' ""Well, partly, I suppose. You don's expect a man to make love violently to establish platonic friendship, do you? But I am not a brute, though I am a th? I have watched you since we met, and I have got your character off fairly welL You. are undecided about most things; you are obstinate in a weak fashion; you. have a supersensitive char acter that gives you a great deal of pain, and she weapons with which you essay to fight a rough world cut your own hands when you use them. Come to me. I will do the fighting. I will lead, and instead of falling back on your own judgment, too shifting to be reliable, you will have me always be hind you to turn to. As to the love, that will come. I fascinate you, you say. You take a fearful pride in the thought that I am your lover, because I am a lover in whom a woman may well be proud. Yes. I don't care to sham becoming modesty just new. And that pride will father a love as strong as most women bear to their husbands. I don't disgust you; far from it. i you will remember, I kissed you once, and you" "ThasisbrntaL" "No; it is only the truth, and this is the time far plain speaking." The conversation paused for a little. The f?in twirled on, and then said the girl: "This is all very kind and disinter ested of you, no doubt, but there are plenty of other indecisive women in the world sorely in need of backing. Go and help them." "As I said before, I love you; hence the present situation- You don's see why I should, for you arc not particu larly beautiful ; you are stiff necked; you are not at all domesticated. "Well, I am so far in love that I can't consider why, except it be that there is a barrier of unapproachableness about you that I long to beat down. I want to stir you I out of that cold blooded indifference 1 that yon affect. I do not believe in it either, for you are not likely to have came to your present age without there having been some other fellow. She turned upon him. "Well, that is true; there was an other man. He loved me with an un selfish devotion beside which this love of yours is unspeakable. He left me be cause he would not tempt me against my conscience. Yon don't care a button whether I violate my own sense of de cency or not." "Extravagance again, " he said. "I will uproot that peculiar standard of yours and set up one better fitted for wear and tear. He loved you unselfish ly, did he? So much the less man he." "I will net let you speak of him. He is dead to me, and holy for that reason if for no other." "Forgive me," said the man, bending toward her. "God knows I would not hurt you for the world. If that man could love you as a man loves and yet conquer the mad longing that I have now to hold you in my arms, he must have ben very noble and worthy what soever you gave him.'' "He was more than worthy. He was tco good for it." "No man could be tco geed for that rare smile of yours or for your kiss. You would honor him beyond his de serts. Ah, my sweetheart, do you think I don't worship yen, too? You are the sweetest, the dearest, the snow purest ef women, and you have all my ham age, all my love, all my desire to shield you and help you. God knows I am no saint, but I am not afraid far this lov of mine. I never loved another woman in this fashion. You want peace? Then find it in my arms." He held them out and bent toward her. His eyes, that could be so hard and unrelenting, were soft and plead ing now. They were alone in the dim light of the corridor. There was no one to gee or care, and his face and attitude asked plainer than words. A strong man in his pride humbling himself to ask this thing from her! There passed through her mind She vision of life wish him beside her a life with some high ideals shattered, perhaps, bus with many torturing doubts and difficulties ended. What did it matter, after all, the fantastic isolation she had striven far? It was not good to be alanej and4 then, that passion might not stir her love, but it thrilled the fibers of her being as a woman. Into the holy cf holies he might nos penetrate-that was closed f OTevermere-r-bus he could fill the outer room and absorb her storm tossed rpiris into his, as the river absorbs the brook, 'Ne, noj" she said, pushing him away. But the resistance was faint, and in another second his lips were on hers, and in that contact, perforce, she gave the betrothal kiss. In the moment of de feat she found time to learn that there was pleasure in the surrender- He put his arms around her and held her to him strongly, sheltering her face with his own and letting her heart throb against his. Then he released her, and, in an other f aroff supreme moment, she burst into tears. "ily darling," he said tenderly. "Choke back the tears; this is not the time or place. I will leave you for a moment." He walked away toward the end of the corridor, and she steed up, leaning against the window and letting the night air fan her burning face.

'A little bitterness, a little longing when we are young, a little futile searching far work and then we go with the drove." A woman says that, and it is true. "Who can fight such a one sided battle? Oh, that I had been horn anything but a woman and any rather than in the pres ent time! A hundred years back I should not have known; a hundred years hence perhaps there will be something better to safeguard us than a man's caprice. As it is ana as I am" The man came back. He took her t hands in his and looked into her face. "Pear child!' he said. "Never did any one torment you with kindlier inten tion. Don't be afraid; I am not going to touch you till yen give me leave. Your face is still tear stained a little. Give me your handkerchief. I found your sister in the halL She is just going, and you can slip away with her. I have your cloak on the chair yonder. Don't be afraid of what people may say; no body will think or talk: this rime I have managed that." She steed quietly while he put her cloak round her, fastened it with deft fingers and put a lace wrap over her hair, knotting it below the chin. Then he locked at her wistfully. "Perhaps you will give me a kiss of your own accord?" And, for answer, she lifted her face to his like a child and kissed him snb- mi velv. London Sketch. Care st the Dieatk YCfcea X1L. "When one is in good health, the mouth needs no special care beyond that of ordinary cleanliness. Indeed, the secretions of the various glands lo cated in it act as disinfectants and keep it sweet. But few, however, are sa healthy but they need to pay some at tention to this organ, and when cue is. ill with any serious disease this be comes mare and more necessary. One physician has found it advantageous to have patients suffering with fever chew occasion ally some aromatic gum to stimulate the secretions of the mouth and wash out or destroy micro organ isms or fermentation going on there. Another has accomplished the same end by having the patient chew some splin ters of fresh pine wood. Dr. Ecsenfield gives quite full directions far cleansing the mouth under such circumstances. He says that "in children and very old persons riic less solid feed taken tbe greater should be the care with the mouth. They should rinse it out several times a day with lukewarm water con taining a little common salt, tincture of myrrh or can de cologne added to stimulate secretion. "When there is a tendency to bleeding of the gums or when the teeth are bad, a pinch cf pow dered oric acid may Le twice daily rub bed in between the lips and gums. Pa tients with false teeth should remove them when they cannot take solid feed. "Patients with fever should have something to drink ecld water or weak lemonade at least every hour. One must nos wait till the patient asks for a drink. Eesides preventing dryness, the fluid maintains the activity of the glands and the whole function of the mucous membrane. Many patients are prevented from drinking by a painful, dry and cracked condition of the lips, and therefore ail feverish patients should, from the commencement of their illness, have their lips rubbed sev eral times a day with vaseline. In pro tracted cases of fever the mouth may also be swabbed out with oil or greatly dilated glycerin. New York Ledger. An Envious Ooacrvcr.
