pBEOMG STEPPAPA.
"Well," exclaimed Millie, "this
quite Jtbe most bcrrid thing mamaa
co5M3Ye done!"
-Franlein Hanssmann of Hanover had
a large jjardeD behind hernishing sem
inary foe young ladies, and it -was Bp
and down this garden that Millie Wax-wick-was
strolling, arm in arm fashion,
"with her sworn chum, Ethel Bidwell,
another English pupiL
.Etfeel-waitedfor further elucidation.
"She has gone and married again!"
almost shrieked Millie.
"Well, there's bo very great harm in
that, dear," returned Miss BidwelL
' 'In fact, it -will be rather nice for von. '
"Bat a stepfather! Oh, it -was too
bad of mamma!" reiterated Millie.
"I am not surprised that she has
married again, "said EtheL "When she
came to see you. in the winter, she
strack me as being almost as young
looking as yourself. Indeed I am sur
prised at her remaining a widow for ten
years."
Millie went on reading the letter.
"Worse and worse," was her next
piece of information. "Bus name is
Macintosh, and he's Scotch. Then he'll
have red whiskers and a strong accent
All Scotchmen do, don't they? They
were married -very quietly in Edin
burgh, without telling any of their
friends. I am to join them at Paris and
go on with them to Switzerland and
have a jolly time. Fancy going on a
honeymoon trip with cue's own moth
er!" "Where are you to join them?" asked
Ethel.
'Next Thursday at the Hotel St
Moscow that's where so many English
people go. I suppose Mr. Macintosh
can't talk French. Oh, dear, it's alto
gether too bad of mamma!"
There was no consoling poor Millie,
and when her friend saw her off to
Paris on the following Thursday Miss
Warwick still declined to be comforted.
"Please take me up to Mrs. Macin
tosh's rooms," said Millie when she
arrived at the Hotel St Moscow.
The parcon, a bold son of Peckham,
scratched his head.
'Missis Macintosh, did yon say,
miss?"
"Yes, Mrs. Macintosh. I am her
daughter."
"Well," said the waiter, "I'm sorry
to 'ave to inform you, miss, that there
ain't no Missis Macintosh 'ere. There's
a Mister Macintosh, what arrived about
two hours ago. Probably it's 'im you
want?"
As she entered the sitting room Mil
lie stopped dead and would possibly
have retreated had not the bold, bad
man from Peckhnm hastily closed the
door and retired, for, sitting by the
window, perusing a paper, was a young
gentleman of not less than 20 and not
more than 25 years of age, irreproach
ably garbed, dark, clean shaven and
not very bad looking.
"lEhall be polite, sometimes cordial,"
Millie had concluded, after debating
the matter with herself for many miles,
"but cu no account affectionate. I shall
thus let him know that, while I do not
wish to cause any unpleasantness, I
shall go my own way and he will go
his."
However; Millie's plan of campaign
collapsed like a bubble.
When Mr. Macintosh rose from his
chair, Millie collected herself with an
effort, and, advancing, held out a little
gloved paw.
"How do you do, Mr. Macintosh?"
she said.
"Thank you," he replied, after a mo
ment's hesitation, "1 am very welL"
Then, as oilillie continued standing, he
added, handing her a chair, "Won't
yon sit down?"
Millie seated herself.
"Er I expected to find mamma
here," said the young lady, after an
awkward silence of quite a minute's
duration. .
"Oh, I see." replied Mr. Macintosh.
Then an appalling idea flashed
through her brain. Her mother and
Mr. Macintosh had discovered their
mistake already. In one short week
they had fallen out They even trav
eled separately. Doubtless be had mar
ried her for her money, and her mother
bad discovered this
"I had better not say tco much about
mamma until I know exactly how the '
land lies, " Millie decided. "I may only '
aggravate thtir differences."
After a long and awkward pause, Mr
Macintosh suggested that perhaps sbo,
might like to look at the English illus-1
trated papers while she was waiting.
"I have a bundle of them in my carry
all," he said. "I'll get them for you. '
While he was absent Millie reviewed
the situation again.
"I hope he won't be as severely polite
as this always, " she thought. "It s ev
ident that I shall have to break the ice.
I will let him see thai, nowevti he may
have fallen out with poor mamma, I in
tend to be friendly."
During tea Millie told him numerous
anecdotes about her life at Frau!ein
Haussmann's, after which he retaliated
in the gayest fashion-with stories of
Oxford varsity. Thus fhey passed the
time away until the first dinner gong
sounded.
This reminded Millie of the flight of
hours.
'I had forgotten all about mamma.
When will she be here?" she exclaimed.
"Possibly she is blocked on the line,"
murmured Mr. Macintosh. "At any
rate, you had better dine here while
you wait for her. "
But Mr. Macintosh's careless refer
ence to her mother jarred on her and
damped her spirits. Things were evi
dently very Imd indeed. His indifference
to his wife's whereabouts was positive
ly shamefuL
During dinner, therefore, she was
quieter, so Mr. Macintosh had to do the
lion's share of the talking. And so well
did he perform his task that Millie had
to confess that her steppapa was a very
charming young man and that it was a
thousand pities he could not get on with
his wife.
"I must try and make the peace," she
thought. "Meanwhile my best plan
will be to be as pleasant as possible
conciliatory, in fact."
Inspired by this idea, she made no
objection when he suggested a stroll on
the boulevards. She insisted cn his
smoking, she prattled to him while he
prjoyed his cigar, she leaned on his
proffered arm and, indeed, made a con
9cientioae effort to impress him with
the fact tint she was a nice girl and,
thoBgh a stepdaughter, would not be
in incambrance or s bother to him.
Ajsd wfcea they got back to the hotel,
after a little hesitation, as they were
separating for the night, she stood on
tiptoe and administered to his brow a
pure, daughterly kiss.
"Well," observed Mr. Macintosh aft
er she had vanished, "of all the experi
ences I've ever had this certainlytakes
the cake."
2?cw, a portion of the above was told
to the present historian by Mr. Dick
Macintosh and part by his wife. I have
merely interwoven their accounts. The
end of the story I also obtained from
both, but Dick's account was the best
Millie was very reticent when relating
her share. Millie related her partus
thus:
"Well, I was unpacking my things,
you know, in order to be able to go to
bed, when who should come in but
mamma. We hugged each other, and
then I said:
" 'Oh, mamma, how could you quar
rel with him?'
"Mamma looked very astonished and
said:
" 'What are you talking about?"
" 'Steppapa.' I replied. 'He didn't
bring your name up once all the time,
and he didn't seem to care what had be
come of you, and and altogether he
was the last man in the world I should
have taken for a bridegroom. But he
was very nice to me. '
'"My dear child,' exclaimed mam
ma, 'are you wandering? What person
do yon refer to? Your stepfather has
only just arrived at the hotel. We
crossed this morning. As for quarrel
ing, we are the most devoted couple in
Christendom.'
.Now for Mr. Dick Macintosh's ver
sion: "Well, you see, old man, I received a
letter from my TJnclc 2sed telling me
that he had taken a wife unto himself,
and would I meet him and the lady at
the hotel St Moscow in a week's time.
Onthe date named I hied me to Paris,
and while I was awaiting Uncle .Ned's
arrival a young lady was shown in.
"Well, we both thawed after a time
and had a rare evening. She proved
the jolliest girl imaginable talked,
laughed, joked and seemed bent on be
ing a3 friendly as possible. We had tea.
dined, took a stroll and returned to the
hotel. Then, my boy, imagine my as
tonishment. After she had said good
night she reached up and gave me the
most delicious kiss I had ever received
in the whole course of my existence."
In due time the four set off on their
tour together, and during the tour Dick
and Millie managed to patch up mat
ters so nearly that they came to be
quite good friends by the time they re
turned to England, and about a year
after their return Dick took a flat in
Kensington and asked Millie to share
it with him, Euch as it was, and Mil
lie not objectiug, they were married,
and there I visited them and heard the
story. Answers. -
A DAT 01' HOSES'.
A scent of roses made Aylnier think
of -something that was over long ago
and that he had almost forgotten. The
roses were everywhere in the drawing
room he had just eutered. They stood
in jars on the mantelpiece. Flat bowls
held them on tables, and singly in slen
der vases they were to be seen here and
there among the china and the odds and
ends of silver and enamel, and delft
and marble that filled the dainty room.
Audrey had loved rases. There was
one day in the little cottage under the
beech trees where Aylnier had spent
many an hour that seemed of a sudden
passing happy now one day which he
and she had called the day of roses. He
had only to shut his eyes indeed, had
not to shut them to see again the
flower strewn room. It was Audrey's
birthday, and he had brought her roses.
They were in the hamper first in which
they had been packed. Ah, Audrey's
little cry of delight as she raised the lid
and saw them lying softly among their
damp leaves! Then they were on trays,
two Lig trays that yet would not hold
them, and they overflowed on to the
table, whpre, with their foliage, they
lay, a litter of crimson and yellow and
green, over which, with caressing touch,
leaned Audrey, the sweetest flower of
alL He could sec her gather up a hand
ful and bury her face amid the petals
that were scarcely more delicate than
herself. Then there was the seeking of
things in which to put them. Every
suitable vase and jar and pot the cot
tage contained was requisitioned, and
there were still roses. He had been re
minded vaguely of the woman of the
gong of the prophets without calling
her all that and the miraculous pot of
oil, for, as with her: "It came to pass
when the vessels were full that she 6aid
Bring me yet a vessel."" And
there was no vessel found. Four roses
remained over. Cue of them he must
wear. He chese the smallest, an open
ing bud. I he other three Audrey, kiss
ing them first, put into the girdle at
her waist
That was the day of roses, and Ayl
nier, back from his two years' travel,
had forgotten it till a chance rcent re
called it and the idyl that had been an
incident among incidents in a somewhat
thoughtless life.
But he as dreaming, and here was
Diana. She came in with an apology
and a rustle of silk She was grieved to
have kept him waiting. She put up her
face to be kissed; the first time of hia
dining with her, and not to be there to
receive bim! But it was inexcusable
inexcusable. She had had an afternoon
of delays justtbat; delays everywhere.

Complicated them, Aylmer suggested.
Complicated them, she agreed.
"I'm giving you a lot of trouble, I'm
afraid," he said smiling.
There was to be no sentiment in this
marriage. Diana k&d Vjgold and green
t forests." Aylmer had spent his gold,
and the potential cutting of certain tim
ber at Aylmer's Keep had brought about
the engagement Lady Aylmer had per
haps a hand in, the matterwhen Ehe
asked the comely widow of Fcnteubrink
Granton of Broad street to the Keep to
meet her son.
"All that will have to go," Ehe said
one day to Mrs. Granton, and waved
her hand toward a weed on the hilL
Mrs. Granton raised her eyebrows.
A day or two later, driving through
the wood in question, Mrs. Granton ob
served a couple of men with notebooks
and pencils who saluted the Aylmer
carriage as it passed, and she observed
Aylmer's face, too, as he returned their
Ealute with a wave of his whip.
Lady Aylmer caught perhaps sought
her eye and sighed.
That evening Mrs. Granton was the
first to come down from dressing, and
Ehe strolled out on to the terrace. The
sun, setting behind her, shone upon the
doomed woods. Gold steeped them. The
shorn hill would be an eyesore.
She heard a step on the gravel, and
saw Aylmer approaching from the
house.
"The prettiest view in England," she
said.
He came "and steed besidaher, and
the eyes of each were on the woods.
"1 am told you are going to spoil it,"
she said then.
"For a time."
"A lifetime."
Tbe-la'dy's gaze ascended the hill to
the top, where the trees stood up against
the sky
"It seems a pity," she" said, and said
no more -just -then.
The gong sounded presently, and they
went in. You could seejhesliiniug hilf
from the windows of the dining room.
Midway through dinner, as the evening
closed in, a servant went to draw the
curtains. Mrs. Granrcc faced the win
dow, j
"Oh," .she said to Lady Aylnier,
"might he wait a little? It is all so
beautiful from where I sit"
Lady Aylmer turned and looked, and
Aylmer looked too. In truth, the scene
wasgtoo fair to shut cut
"Leave the curtains as they are,
Charles."
"Very good, my lady. "
So Airs. Granton saw the woods to
the disappearing point of desk.
But later the moon rose. Aylmer and
she found themselves upon the terrace
once mere. The night was warm. Mrs.
Granton 's eyes were on the woods. Their
changed aspect in the moonlight was
excuse itself for any comment.
"Must yoo?" she asked suddenly.
He looked for her meaning.
"I!" he said- "11 It is not I."
"Who then? Ah, yes. I understand.
They are mortgaged."
Foreclosure was a word she associat
ed with poor plays. Such things hap
pened then! She remembered the two
men with the businesslike air and the
notebooks.
She laid her arm on the stone ledge
of the oalnstrade.
"There must be a way out" she said.
"If I could find it."'
An hour or two later, when she took
her candle from his hand, she said:
"Look for the way out."
She smiled, and he followed her with
his eyes as she mounted the stairs, her
skirts trailing and the caudle held
high. She did not look back at the ram
in thestaircase. Aylmer, in the smoking
room, was ruminant
It was impossible to mistake her.
Nor did he misunderstand. She said
"Yes" when he spoke the next day.
Lady Aylmer said, "Diana, Diana,
dear woman, God bless you!"
"Perhaps he will," said Diana.
-Now, in her drawing room, the
woods saved and his future mortgaged
instead, Aylmer took a rapid survey of
his life up to the point it had then
reached and decided that he had pursned
the only course open to him. Neither
did he in calmness repent the step he
had taken. Diana Granton had not her
money alone to recommend her. She
was of the world and admirably fitted
for the position he offered her. That
she was comely has beeu said, and she
took a sensible view of the situation.
He was not in love with her, and she
was wise enough to conceal from him
the secret that ber own heart had been
revealing to her gradually for some
time past
At dinner that evening she looked at
him and knew that she loved him. He
looked at Diana and thought of forgot
ten Audrey.
It was the fault of the roses in the
drawing room.
The scent of them haunted him fol
lowed him home. Poor little Audrey!
What would she think? But near as he
had come to loving her, he had never
made love to her and had nothing to
reproach himself with, for which now
he was fervently thankful. Yet he was
not quite happy as his hansom took him
to Clarges street. A memory of some
thing that was wistful at times in Au
drey's eyes stirred him. The thing was
absurd, inconceivable. Her mother,
gentle as she was, was a woman of the
world and had known that he "meant"
nothing. Audrey was a child to caress
and pet It was he who had suffered at
the parting. Her tears were the frank
tears of childhccd and rolled down her
cheeks unconcealed. ,
His misgivings told him that he had
done well to go.
fie thought of the restlessness that
had possessed him during the early days
of his travel. It had sent him from
place to place. He had written a letter
then that was never posted, and had re
frained himself until time and distance
allowed him to write calmly. Presently
the need to write at all ceased and he
knew himself cured.
But tonight Audrey haunted him. He
could be thankful that he had not made
a fool of himself. The girl was not of i
his world, and he knew the folly of an
ill asserted marriage, but she had been
very dear to him.
How fair she was! Her face insinu
ated itself persistently between him
and sleep. She must be grown up now
yes, Audrey must be 19. The curves
of her slender figure would be rounded
and many subtle changes mark the time
that had seen the crossing of the bor
der line of womanhood, but she would
be the same Audrey that he had known
and had been so near to loving.
It was late before he slept Then
Audrey came to him in dreams that
had no definite shace. He tried vainlv
afterward to remember in what guise"
and to what accompanying circum
stances she had appeared ;to him. He
only knew that Ehe had been with
him, sleeping as waking, through the
night
The air and the light of day, how
ever, cleared his brain. He spent a
morning with Diana, and by the time
she was sitting opposite to him at lunch
he could view the situation calmly and
Eee that hia happiness lay in the direc
tion he was taking. Nor was he con
sciously selfish.
He parted with Diana and walked
homeward. It was a time of rosea The
roses in a flower shop caught his atten
tion. They filled the window.
He found himself in the shop. He
had been attracted by Ted roses, yet in
the end it was white roses he chose.
He believed that he made his choice by
hazard, though now he sometimes won
ders. It may be that some thought of
Audrey's nature influenced him.
He took out a card and paused.
What to say? His love? He hesitated
and wrote, "Forauld lang syne." Then
he gave his directions as to the Eending
and left the shop.
Three days later a letter reached
him.
He opened It carelessly, not recogniz
ing the handwriting. His fingers tight
ened suddenly upon the sheet
"I put- your roses on her heart"
wrote her mother, "loose, as they came.
She would have loved them so."
Lady's Realm.
The Opposite.
Grant Duff has in his reminiscences
the following story of Lord Houghton:
The Cosmopolitan club was accustomed
to meet in a room which had been
Watts' studio, and on the walls of which
hung an enormous picture by him of
"Theodora and Houoria." Some one
asked Lord Houghton what this repre
sented. "Oh," he replied, "you have
heard of Watts hymns? These are
Watts' hers."
Cruel Knife!
The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and a strong sentiment
against such methods of treatment is
fast developing among the most intelli
gent classes. It seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment is unsuccessful, the learned physi
cians decide at once that an operation
must be performed, and the keen blade
of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis
takes are too fatal to be indulged in
promiscuously, and as so many lives art
sacrificed in this manner, it is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be
ing a fearful risk to human life, even il
successful.
It is a positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that a
majority of them are absolutely under
taken without the slightest chance of
success. The doctors "have never been
able to cure a blood disease, and a sur
gical operation is their only method of
treating deep-seated cases, such as can
cer and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Can
cer is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can be
cut from the blood.
Here is a case where the pain inflicted
on a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing .the tortures
produced by the surgeon's knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr. J. 27. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 279
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes :
"When my son, Will, was six years
old, a small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the .usual treat
ment, but before long began to grow. It
gave him a great deal of pain, and con
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
"After much reluctance, we consented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
a severe one, but I thought it was the
only hope for my boy. Before a great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave himmany rem
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice of a friend, decided to try S.S.S.
(Swift's Specific), and with the second
bottle he began to improve. After twenty
bottles had been taken, the cancer dis
appeared entirely and he was cured.
The cure was a permanent one, for he is
now seventeen years old, and has never
had a sign of the dreadful disease to re
turn." S.S.S. is far ahead of all other blood
remedies, because it is the only one
which cures deep-seated obstinate blood
diseases such as Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism, etc
It is the only blood remedy guaranteed

PURE LAKE ICE
I am again in position to supply
the people of North Platte with a
superior quality of pure ice frozen
from well water. It is as clear as
crystal and of good thickness; not
frozen snow and slush. A trial
order will convince you of its
quality. I have plenty to last
through the season.
