"H'ml" observed Mr. Gregory Lyt
ton speculatively. "A worthy clinrlty,
I see. Put mo down for two hundred
dollars."
The Indy representative of the Els
den Aid society presented subscrlp
tion list and fountain pen, nnd ho
casually glanced over tlio written
sheet.
He 'looked particularly attentive as
ho catna to two names that seemed
to appeal to his Interest. Ono writ
ten with the nourish of a man ap
parently at ease with himself and
tlio rest of tlio world, read: "Marvin
Drake, one hundred dollars." Tho
other, a modest, unostentatious sig
nature, bore the record, "Wilton Grey,
ten dollars."
"1 suppose It tells the story," rumi
nated Mr. Lytton "the ono settled In
life as to Income and prospects, the
other with his foot on the bottom rung
of tlio ladder. I llko them both. I
wonder which one Eunice favors
most?"
It wns purely coincidental that the
daughter he named should have as
suitors two persons who were of the
medical profession. It was natural,
however, tliut the prettiest girl In
Elsden should attract two of Its most
eligible young men. Marvin Drake
was the leading physlclau of the town
and hnd acquired a competency. His
junior professional rlvul had been In
practice only a year and, while he
earned a fairly good living, must slow
ly work his way to a substantial po
sition. Eunice had been gracious to
both, but even to Intimate friends had
not Indicated her preference. The
father had never sought to learn the
real state of her feelings, nor would
he have lnlluenced her choice.
It happened that Eunice heard of
the respective donations of the two
young men. When Drake called upon
her ho referred to his share In the
charitable gift In n way which for
the first time gave the inexperienced
girl a new Insight Into his real char
acter. He rather boastlngly mention
ed the fact that ho was one of only
ten who had donated In three figures.
"It was simply my duty," he ex
plained. "Conditions on the flats are
worse thun bad. The epidemic has
spread steadily and there are a few
cases among the better class. I am
to speak at the meeting of the health
commissioners this evening, and I
shall strongly recommend that the pa
tients be quarantined and measures
taken to exclude the flat population
from our part of the town."
"But surely you will attend them?"
inquired Eunice, and Drake replied,
With a slight shrug of his shoulders:
"That will hardly be possible, Miss
Lytton. My regulur clients need my
services, nnd they would strenuously
object to the danger of my bringing
them contuglon by going Into the nest
of the epidemic."
It was the following evening that
Grey called upon Eunice. "I shull
not see you again for some time, I
fear, Miss Lytton," ho remarked.
"You are not going away," submit
ted Eunice, and there was a token of
reul interest In her lovely eyes.
"Not far," responded Grey, "but 1
shall be comparatively Isolated at the
llats. I shall close my olllce hero for
ut least a month. Those poor people
along the river need constant enre and
guidance, and I shall make my lot
among them exclusively until the epl
demlc Is stamped out"
"But your regulur clients?" suggest
ed Eunice.
"Even If I should lose the entire
practice, I cannot refuse to heed the
urgent cry for help from those poor
sufferers," replied Grey.
A sparkle of respect, admiration of
something deeper came Into the eyes
of Eunice. She did not venture uny
comment until Grey bade her good-bye,
Then she said, with palpable emotion:
"I sincerely hope you will bo able
to carry out your noble sncrlflco suc
cessfully."
"You give me courage," said Grey
simply, and was gone.
It was only through the weekly
newspaper and current gossip that
Eunice learned of the progress of tho
epidemic. In one of Its Issues there
was an open letter from Doctor Grey,
It stated that thcro was a need for
nurses, more to teach the wives und
mothers of Uie flats tho value of pre
ventive measures than to cope with
disease. It was a sensible, appealing
letter nnd, while the majority of the
ladles of the upper ten simply shud
dered at the risk of visiting Uie In
fected district, Eunice was deeply lm
pressed. Her father was gone on a
visit to nnothcr city and she was free
to take her own way, and did so.
A glow akin to adoration flooded
tho soul of Doctor Grey when she ap
pealed at the flats In the neat, simple
attire of a nurse, and quietly asked
him for directions as to tho service
required of her. Sldo by side they
worked for the gpod of others. Both
had returned to their homes before
Mr. Lytton returned. Ho learned of
tho mighty service those two had glv
on to tlio 111 and distressed.
Ho saw them seated In happy con
verso In the garden as he reached
home.
"I don't need to auk which has won
Eunice's henrt," ho soliloquized, with
a sntlhflod smile, "the rally werthy
oe has well proven his worth."
QUITE EQUAL TO OCCASION
Female "Heckler" Who Tackled Ldy
Astor Got a Good Deal of
a Surprise.
"Lady Astor," said a New York
clubman, "brought more popularity to
the Astor name during her election
fight in Kngtand thnn either the old
viscount, William Waldorf, or the now
lscount, Mnjor Waldorf, ever suc
ceeded In doing.
"She's n clever woman, a witty wom
an, nnd wo Americans may bo proud
of her though she has deserted us.
"On tho election plntform she gave
mnny n striking proof of her rendy
wit. Thus one evening n sour-vis-
aged female rose In the nudlenco and
asked with a kind of prim Irony:
"'If Viscountess Astor Is elected to
parliament, will she work to make di
vorce ns easy for us In England as It
Is In America?'
"This was a mean blow, a foul blow,
n blow below tho belt, so to speak,
for Lndy Astor, through no fault of
her own, Is n divorced woman. Sho
countered brilliantly, however, nnd tho
blow didn't lnnd. Looking at her ques
tioner In n commiserating way, she
said:
" 'I'm sorry, inndam, you are In trou
ble.'
'And the house rnnrcd with laugh

HAVE PUT UP BRAVE FIGHT
Sumatra Natives for Centuries Car
ried on Warfare With Their
Conquerors, the Dutch.
Sumatra's wnr-declmatcd population
amounts to less than 3,200,000 most
of which Is not nvnllablo for labor,
the Island, therefore, bnrcly beginning
to attract attention, despite Its riches
In natural resources. Sumatra Is Im
mense in area and between Its differ
ent sections there Is little inland com
munication, thnt which exists being of
a treacherous and warlike character.
Much of the Island remains unex
plored. Other parts such as the
whole ofAchln, are still in a state
of warfare, which seems destined to
end only with the eventual extermina
tion of the resisting tribes.
The first hostilities of the Achlneso
dote back to IfiOU. but for tho last
forty years lighting has been continu
ous, costing more than 200,000 lives In
the Achlneso war alone. A guerrilla
warfure of surprises and ambushes
hus been going on in the jungles, the
determined resistance of tho Achlnese
continuing undlscourngcd, although
their government has been deposed,
nnd all their towns and strategic po
sitions occupied by Dutch troops.
