A rARAnOX. And ho vu one who never took Advantage of his foe. Who never deemed a fellow man Dtahonest till the facta began To clearly prove him eo. Ho never struck before he gave Fair warning; all he knew He told the world, and never sought To claim importance he was not Indeed entitled to. He never asked for favora where Hla help had not before, la some fair Way, been freely shown-* All that he asked for was Ms owes No Jot nor tittle more. I saw him buried yesterday, There was no weeping crowd— No mourners lingered on behkid— Ah, but the county still was kind It furnished him a shroud. Tin Relapse of Miss Turner. BY JESSE LLEWELLYN. (Copyright, 1900: Dally Story Pub. Co.) “It was a sad affair," announced ths wealthy Miss Turner, stifling a yawn, aa she tank back into the cushioned carriage. “Sorry, but I don’t exactly appre ciate your point of view," answered the man beside her. “I thought it Jolly.” "Perhaps If I were a 'horsey’ per son like that Muller woman It would not have been such a bore, or if 1 cared about making of myself a walk ing, talking, sitting advertisement for some modiste. Of course I enjoyed your splendid pair stepping about so nobly as though conscious of their precious bit of blue ribbon. You know, Tom, horses have souls. Prof. Blu nt insteln spoke so eloquently about It the other day at the club.” “What, about the prize winners?’’ “No, no, animals having souls—re incarnation, you know.” “Rot,” Tom began, but checked him self In time and only whistled. “You are so Indifferent, Tom, to the things I am most Interested in.” “Aren’t you the same regarding the things I am interested In? The horse show, for Instance. It was splendid. Those well-bred, polished beauties, with their alert, quivering nerves, their proud necks and their fancy gaits. I say, how could anyone be indlffereqt?” “Oh, the horsee were well enough,” she admitted, “but the people—like children dressed for their first party. Actually, the three Winston girls in the box next ours never spoke during the entire evening. One moved once a trifle, and I saw a tragic look of pain come over poor moth-eaten Mrs. Winston’s face. I am tired of it all; the mahogany souls and peppermint faces of the gooa est good and the sticky smiles of the divorcees. I am going to give it up.” “Your descrip tion savors of veg etables,” he said, rudely. "Yes, and I’m going to include you, Tom.” “Oh. Ruth, how could you—” There was a pause In which the regular beat or horaes’a teet on the pavement em phasised the conscplcuously noiseless rubber tires of many carriages. Then the man asked abruptly: "Why me, too? Is my soul also wooden?” His emphasis of the word "soul” Ir ritated Miss Turner, resenting as she did his persistent refusal to mount her hobby. “Not exactly that, Tom, but what’s the use? Here we have gone on being engaged for two years—7” “And whose fault is It that It’s been duly engaged-” “All the time,” resumed Ruth, “1 have been hoping you would come to regard life more seriously. But it re ally isn’t worth while any more. You enjoy this sort of thing—It’s your life. 1 prefer to study—to really amount to something—to give my soul a chance.” Tom Marston groaned. “I’ve been hoping, too, Ruth,” he said, presently, “hoping that you would recover from this attack of —Oi' soul. I can’t see what good you do yourself or anyone else in thlB Set tlement business, mixing up in other people’s affairs some one called It— then this theosophy fad-" "It’s no use to talk,” sighed Ruth, as Tom handed her out of the car riage at her door. “No, don’t wait; that’s Mamma in the carriage back.” “Will I see you tomorrow?” he begged. “This Is just a mood—and it’s awfully sudden of you, you know. Let’s talk it over tomorrow—please.” “I’ve thought U over tor two years, Tom; it’s no use. Good-bye.” “Where’s Tom running off to in such a hurry?” queried Mrs. Turner, as they mounted the broad steps. “I wanted to ask him In to luncheon tomorrow.” “It’s broken off,” said Ruth, with a little catch in her voice. Perhaps she had been too hasty after all. Bern* a wise woman, Mrs. Turner’s com- - manta were alto- Q gather mental, n though somewhat v Involved in guess- ] work. For ilve long weeks Ruth ad- J bared to her reeo lution to eschew «.DeaP Totn, for soclety and cultl- *>»»-“ ▼ate the higher • JUte. She reed e greet many treatises end parte of a great many books which she did not understand. On Mondays and Wednesdays she attended Mothers’ meetings in a Settlement house in the slums, where she sang Nerln’s songs and played brilliant piano solos by Chaminade. Fridays she attended the imwle dab and studied how to re lease her seal treat the material bode that It might soar unencumbered through empyrean heavens. She had hoped to become an adept in time, hut somehow her soul wus proving un dutiful and refused to soar; perhaps because her mind vr;s laden of lata with thoughts of Tom Marston, whose six feet of stature and corresponding avoirdupois wete quite enough to handicap the most flighty of souls. "I am going to my room to read," stated Ruth on* evening, "and If any one calls I am not at home." Mrs. i Turner ft-oWtacfl trut remained dis creetly silent, and her daughter was soon ensconced before a lazy grate fire. "The Law of Psychic Phenomena” in her lap remained unopened as the girl continued to stare into the hearth. Presently she moved to tho quaint lit tle writing table, and mechanically her fingers scribbled the words: "Dear Tom:—Forgive-” She got no further. Then for a full *half hour she sat. Presently her head began to droop until her downy cheek fell upon the written words, and she was asleep. "Daughter,” said a soft voice at thi door, "Daughter!” Mrs. Turner stoo l on the threshold and looked in. Ruth was stirring uneasily in her sleep and muttering something. The elder wom an listened a moment and then smiled. “ ‘Tom,’ she is saying; well, Tom she shall have. I thought she would come to her senses even though it Is in her •leep." A moment afterward the steward of a certain up-town club Informed Tom Marston that someone was waiting "on the ’phone” for him. And still later that same evening Ruth v:as hur ried downstairs by her Importunate mother to have at least a few words with "poor Tom.” "Don’t stop to smooth your hair—you are quite fit as you are,” the mother had said. Ruth had felt a curious bumping of her heart when Toni’s card was first brought up. How curious—and I was just dreaming ot him,” she thought. *‘I must have un consciously sent a thought message.” On her way to the library, however, she resolved to bo true to herself and to resist firmly MIt'a no use to talk." any softer emo tions. The greeting was therefore a little strained, until Tom said suddenly, “What are those blotches on your face, Miss Ruth?” He had been addressing her as Miss Turner a minute before. Together they walked over to a mirror. "Ink,” said Ruth disgustedly, producing a hand kerchief. “Wait,” admonished Tom. peering curiously over her shoulder. Simultaneously they read aloud from the blotted ink spots on her reflected face: “Dear Tom:—Forgive-” “Oh, Ruth, how could you?” ho whispered rapturously, demonstrating bis words. “Oh, Tom, I just couldn’t-” After the interruption Tom ex plained somewhat shamelessly, though according to instructions, "You see. Ruthle, I fell asleep at the etub this evening and I dreamed you were call ing me—curious, wasn’t it?” “Tom!” exclaimed Ruth, pleasurable wonderment in her bearing, “it was my thought message, you know.” AN AMERICAN PRODUCT. XzoeUlor I« * Source of Valuable In dustry. “Excelsior, an American invention which is extensively used for packing purposes and in the manufacture of bedding and various other upholstery uses, is not, as is generally believed, made from shavings,” said a wholesale dealer in the material. "It is an ar ticle of regular manufacture, and be tween 35,000 and 40.1>00 tons of the curling wood fiber are turned out by i the eastern and western lumber mil’s annually. Basswood and poplar are the woods used in the production. The logs are sawed into lengths of eighteen inches, which is the length of a fiber of excelsior.. These blocks are split in halves and the wood is properly sea soned. Excelsior is made of different degrees of coarseness and fineness of fiber. In the manufacture a series of knife points run down in parallel lines that are spaced according to the width of the fiber to be made. A following knife slices off the whole face of the block thus served. The fibers*curl and commingle as the knife sets them free. An excelsior machine makes 200 to 300 strokes a miuute, every stroke cut ting off a tier of fiber across the faco of the block. The usual commercial package of excelsior is a bale weighing about 50 pounds. At wholesale excel sior sells at from $10 to $40 a ton. American excelsior is exported to Cen tral America, to the West Indies, to England, and other foreign countries, where several thousand tons of the fiber are shipped yearly.”—Washington Star. * New Facte About Sugar. Some interesting experiments have been carried tn in the Univeisity of Genoa ih&i bring to light some new facts about sugar. It was demon strated that sugar administered to an animal, where the temperature had fallen through fasting, could cause a ‘rapid rise the first ten or fifteen min utes, and that in one or two hours the temperature would reach a maximum that would be sustained for a long or a short time according to the amount of sugar given. The effect was most marked after a long fast, when the temperature was very low. The experi menter states that by using sugar in thi3 way he has succeeded in restoring the vitality of doge which were in a serious state, while the administration i of albumen to others in a similar con dition failed to save their Ilvea. i LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS.
