T
I walked In the woodland meadows,
"Where sweetly the thrushes sine.
And found oa a bed of mosses
A bird with a broken wing.
I healed Its wing:, and each morning
It sans lt old, sweet strain.
But the bird with the broken pinion
Never soared so high again.
I found a young life broken
By sin's seductive art,
And touched with Christlike pity,
I took her to my heart.
She lived with a nobler purpose.
And struggled not in vain.
But the life that Sin had stricken
Never soared so hi&h again.
But the bird with the brcken pinion
Kept "another from the snare.
And the life that Sin had stricken
liaised others from despair.
Each loss has its own compensation.
There are healings for every pain.
But the bird with the broken pinion
Never soared so high again.

"It would be such fun il we could
ever "
"Wouldn't it." said Vincent.
"You haven't the least idea what
I mean." Mrs. Vincent spoke severely.
"I v.iih you would cot jump into the
conversation so vehemently. I was
goin? to say "
"You were going to say," trium
phantly, "that we could have such a
lark if people would only let us alone.
I believe it's philanthropy with them.
They think we are married and have
come up here alone and that we are
being bored to death but won't con
fess it. so they visit us. We've bad
all my family, and all your family
who is it now? The Lord help us If
the school-friends have started."
"It's a school-friend, and a dear one;
but I don't want her now. I don't
want anybody but you. I thought." in
to olaintive voice, "that we would be
'happ xnow that the last relative is
gone, didn't you?"
"Who is it?""vfr. Vincent asked with
a martyr-like air.
"It i3 Dorothy Trelawn3" She
glanced at the letter. "She says she
is going to be near here and wants
to see me, if it is quite convenient.
It isn't philanthropy with our
friends." this in fine scorn, "it's cli
mate and comfort. Did you ever see
anything more beautiful than that?"
With one comprehensive sweep she
took in the summer landscape that
lay before them. Beautiful va!leys
glittering with dew, softly swelling
hills, cool shadowed woods, and on
every side mountains clothed to their
crest with verdure.
"Dearest." Vincent began, "I oh,
kang it all! I've had a letter, too.
When I wrote I told him what fun we
were having, and how cool it was, and
that I knew he must be sweltering.
But I didn't know he would come. You
may trust me not to give another in
vitation it's climate they all ac
cept." "Who is it?" It was Mrs. Vincent's
turn to affect a martyr-like air.
"Henry Cavanagh."
Mr. Vincent not having known wom
en very intimately before his marriage
and having been married only a few
months, found his wifes unexpected
ness her greatest charm.
Now she sprang up gaily, rushed at
him, flung her arms about him and
declared he was the sweetest thing in
the world.
Although slightly puzzled. Mr. Vin
cent smiled indulgently and awaited
further developments.
"Oh." she said, "I'm so excited!
Dorothea Trelawny and Henry Cav
anagh were born for each other! All
"It has been "n eternity.
Dorothea's women friends want her to
marry, and I know three of them,"
she ran them off on her fingers, glibly,
vwho have Invited them for the ex
press purpose of getting them en
gaged." She laughed gleefully. "But
they never came together never even
met. There was always some trivial
thing that kept one or the other away.
Fate was against them; and she has
relented." She ran her slim fingers
through Vincent's hair, delightedly,
fun." She danced down the piazza.
"Go write to Mr. Cavanagh," she
called back and disappeared In the
doorway.
"Oh." Mrs. Vincent whispered to
Vincent, "I'm so excited!"
It was a week later and they were
waiting in the parlor for Cavanagh,
who had been the last member of the
house-party to arrive, waiting also for
dinner. There was a murmer of talk
soft laughter the deeper tones of
men.
"I am so disappointed!" It was a
plaintive little whisper In Vincent's
ever sympathetic ear a few moments
later.
"But. my dear, what would you
have had them da?"
"I would have had her just Cutter
"This is a coincidence it isn't Fate,
"Won't you congratulate us?"
it's Providence! Won't those other
women envy me wen't they hate me!
You'll get Mr. Cavanagh to rent' a
house up here next summer, won't
you? It will be lovely for all of us to
be together."
"My dear!" Vincent was not able to
keep up with his wife's flying thought.
"What if they should not fancy each
other?" He put the question hesitat
ingly. He was unwilling to dampen
her ardor.
"They were born for each other!"
enthusiastically. "They are waiting.
Neither of them will ever marry, they
haven't, you see, until they wed each
other. I am going to write to Doro-'
thea this moment." she sprang to her
feet. "I'm going to write to some oth
ers, too. Lots of them a gay house
party full. We will have a week of
an eyelash, or color, or get embar
rassed anything to show she knew
her hero had come."
"She's of the Vere-de-Vere type,"
Vincent murmered soothingly. "You
know the proud, cold ones don't show
what they feel. But she is a stunner!
The handsomest woman in the room,
my dear."
'The handsomest?" reproachfully.
"Except yourself," promptly.
Vincent stood at his bedroom win
dow that night, looking out, when a
plaintive little voice, tired out with
the heavy duties of the day, confided
In him the awful intelligence of Cava
nagh's engagement.
He had told her about It himself,
and had said that the engagement was
to be announced the next week when
he went back to town.
Vincent took the little figure into hl3
arms. But he smiled broadly into the
friendly darkness husbands are hu
man, you know.
In all the gay week that followed
It seemed that Cavanagh was attentive
to every woman In the house but Miss
Treiawny.
The Vincents charming piazza was
like a room with Its rugs and cushions,
chairs and tables, books and maga
zines, and here, a week later, on the
night before the breaking up or the
houe-party, Vincent found his wife.
"Of course you are worrying over
those people!" he said. "You wouldn't
have run off here alone In the dark
under other conditions."
"She Is an artful, bold, designing
creature! I gue3s she's a teacher
tired of making her own living, and
he is such a great, big splendid, sim
ple fellow be just let her gobble him
up. or course Dorothea is indifferent!
She's not going to throw herself at
any man's head, certainly not at an
engaged man. He Is not so indiffer
ent. I saw him looking at her as
though he would devour her. And to
think that two lives should be spoiled
by this horrid creature!" She threw
out her small hands tragically.
Vincent had placed his hand over
his wife's lips.
"Ill be hanged!" he said. "It's
Dorothea and Cavanagh."
They came down the long portico
slowiy; they were utterly unconscious
of the proximity of the Vincents.
"Tomorrow is almost here," Cava
nagh was sayiug, "It has been an eter
nity!" "Yes," the girl's soft voice cooed,
thea vehemently, "I couldn't stand it
another day I couldn't!"
"I couldn't stand anything with
out you, my darling." Cavanagh
laughed happily end drew the girl's
unresisting form into his arms. He
kised her; they then turned and
walked back Into the house.
There was absolute silence on the
piazza after their departure.
Vincent felt something hot and wet
on his hand. "Not tears?" he asked
in dismav.
"To think that Dorothea would act
like that!" Mrs. Vincent sobbed. "I'm
sorry for the poor, neglected sweet
heart. Heaven knows. And she said
my house-party was Lot to be endured
another day, and he called it an eter
nity! They'll know it when I invite
them again askeci for their Invita
tions it's a hoi rid world," the sobs
came faster, 'and if you were not in
it. I'd die!"
Miss Trelawny was still with Cava
nagu when the Vincents entered the
house through the library. There it
was cool and the lights were dim.
From the room beyond the sound of
raus-ic and of dancing feet came.
Miss Trelawny came towards them,
Cavanagh following.
"We don't care if people do know,"
she said. "The engagement will be
aniiouueed next week."
Vincent gasped.
"And we want people to know, any
way," Cavanagh explained. "If Doro
thea hadn't wanted it kept quiet until
th? announcement we would have had
the jolliest week! That's what we
planned; but when we found the crowd
she would not lot me even look at her.
Why, she telegraphed that I mustn't
even knew her!" He laughed. "Won't
you congratulate us?"
Vincent grasped Cavanagh's hand
heartily, and, liusbnnds are but mor
tal, you know, f-hot a little side-long
glance at his wife to witness her dis
comfort. Discomfort? Mrs. Vincent stood
drawn to her slenotr height, smiling,
and holding herself well in hand. Her
voice was sweet and as clear and cool
as crystal as she said:
"You've surprised Mr. Vincent, and
a1! the house-party will be astonished.
B"t. you see, your indifference was a
triS too overdrawn a little too over
studied to deceive me."
She kissed the girl, held out her
hand to Cavanagh, and then the four
cf them vent in to join the dancers.
LIVED UPON HUMAN FLESH.
Cannibalism Wan Once Oolte Common
Among American Indian.
It may not be generally known that
cannibalism was once prevalent ovei
large areas of the American continent.
Such was the case, however, and in
fact the very word cannibal is but
another form of Caniba, or Cariba, the
proper name of the Carib Indians, the
dreadful scourge of the Antilles three
centuries ago, among whom the
Spaniards on first landing found hu
man limbs hung up to dry in the sun
for food. Many of the tribes of South
America were cannibals, and some of
the uncorquered savages in the dark
forests of the upper Amazon still feast
upon human flesh. The practice ex
isted, also in Central America and Mex- ,
ico. as readers of Prescott are well
aware, but rather as a sacrifice to the
god of war then from any depraved
taste for such food. As a' war cere
mony it was found also among nearly
all the tribes of the eastern United
States and Canada. The Miamis had a
cannibal society, whose members were
under obligation to eat any captives
delivered to them for that purpose.
and the Kiowas, with whom I lived for
some time, had only a few years ago a
secret brotherhood each member of
which was pledged to eat the heart
of the first enemy killed by him in
battle. The old war chief in whose
family I stayed was one of this soci
ety. All the tribes of the Texas coast
and back country were reputed canni
bals, and with good reason. One of
these was the Attakapa, from whom
the Louisiana parish gets its name,
which signifies "man-eaters." Anoth
er was the Karankawa tribe, on Mata
gorda bay, with whom French captives
from LaSalle's expedition witnessed
many a barbarous feast. In 1760 the
priests of the old San Antonio mission
drew up a catechism for the use of
their Indian converts and among the
questions to be asked in confession the
first one was, "Have you eaten human
flesh?" But the worst cannibals of, all
were the Tonkawas, who lived about
San Antonio, just back from the coast
To all the other tribes, even to the
present day, they are known simply as
"the man-eaters." Harper's Magazine
Wanted: a Pink Marble Tomb.
The Japanese are rapidly assimilat
ing American business notions, but
they have not yet quite divested them
selves of Oriental extravagance of ex
pression, as this personal advertise
ment from a Tokyo newspaper will
testify: I am a beautiful woman. My
abundant, undulating h&lr envelops me
as a cloud. Supple as a willow is my
waist. Soft and brilliant is my visage
as the satin of the flowers. I am en
dowed with wealth sufficient to saunter
through life hand in hand with my be
loved. Were I to meet a gracious lord,
kindly, intelligent, well-educated and
of good taste, I would unite myself
with him for life, and later share with
him the pleasure of being laid to rest
eternal in a tomb of pink marble.

A Clergyman's Discovery.
Fredericksburg, Ind., Dec. 2. Ac
cording to the positive declaration of
Rev. E. P. Stevens of this place, that
gentleman has found a remedy for all
diseases of the kidneys and urinary
organs. For years he suffered severely
with these complaints, incontinence of
the urine, maki -g life a burden to him,
but he never ceased experimenting in
the hope that some day he would dis
cover a remedy. After many failures
he has at last succeeded and is today
perfectly cured and a well man, and
explains that his recovery is due to the
use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. This rem
edy has been successfully applied to
many cases of Lame Back, Rheuma
tism, Bright's Disease, Diabetes and
other Kidney Diseases and there seems
to be no case of the kind that Dodd's
Kidney Tills will not cure. This is the
only remedy that has ever cured
Bright's Disease.

Thrown From His Cab and Killed.
The following is a most interesting
and. In one respect, pathetic tale:
Mr. J. Pope, 42 Fcrrar Road, Streat
ham, England, said:
"Yes, poor chap, he is gone, dead
horse bolted, thrown oH his seat on
his cab he was driving and killed
poor chap, and a good sort, too, mate.
It was him, you see, who gave me the
half-bottle of St- Jacobs Oil that
made a new man of me. 'Twas like
this: me and Bowman were great
friend3. Some gentleman had given
him a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil which
had done him a lot of good; he only
used half the bottle, and remembering
that I had been a martyr to rheuma
tism and sciatica for years, that I had
literally tried everything, had doctors,
and all without benefit, I became dis
couraged, and looked upon it that
there was no help for me. Well," said
Pope, "You may not believe me, for
it is a miracle, but before I had
used the contents of the half-bottle
of St. Jacobs Oil which poor Bowman
gave me, I was a well man. There
it Is, you see, after years of pain, after
using remedies, oils, embrocations,
horse liniments, and spent money on
doctors without getting any better, I
was completely cured in a few days.
I bought another bottle, thinking the
pain might come back, but it did not,
so I gave the bottle away to a friend
who had a lame back. I can't speak
too highly of this wonderful painkiller."
You might as well talk to an echo
as to a person who always agrees
with you.
Every man who does the very best
he can is a true hero.
