BY BLANCHE STERLING.
vX2opyrlgbt, j'JCi, by Dally Story Pub. Co.)
IJ’hen 1 c.jne to Boston as a student
two years ago, I little expected to be
living on Eracon Street at the end of
my course. My sojourn In New Eng
land began very modestly. My room
had been arranged for before X left
home, and I had consented to share
It with some unknown young woman,
In order to lessen expenses. For weeks
that individual occupied my mind to
the almost entire exclusion of every
hing else. I conceived of her as an ex
ample of every type common to the
human race, and then as a composite
personage typical of nothing. Of
course, she would be a Northerner, and
I felt in my Southern soul that my
provincialisms would get the discipline
they needed.
"Miss Latham, this is your new
roommate, Miss Courtenay, of Balti
more.”
I am afraid I was a little nervous
as I shook Miss Latham's hand, but
there was not the slightest trace of
self-consciousness on her part. We
were soon talking easily and naturally,
and fifteen minutes of pleasant com
monplaces dissipated my nervousness.
Then she said:
i snail nave to asK you to excuse
me now. Miss Courtenay. I am doing
newspaper work, and must finish an
article this afternoon.”
She went to her desk and began to
write. She did not look formidable,
and was so utterly oblivious of m&
presence that I knew she could not
be criticising me. Indeed, in less than
a fortnight, I found that, as far as
Miss Latham was concerned, I might
as well have been without provincial
isms.
Miss Latham and I talked much of
our work. She almost never men
tioned her personal affairs, and though
I felt I really did not know her, I be
gan to admire her thoroughly. Her
quiet, steady way of doing things, her
self-possession, and even her reserve
attracted me.
I soon noticed that she was working
too hard. As her physical strength
lessened, I saw there was underneath
her quiet calmness something pa- I
thetlc.
On Christmas eve I came home in a
particularly bright mood. I ran light
ly up the steps—feeling sufficiently
buoyant to do away with the elevator
--and opened our door, waving two let
ters triumphantly.
“Two lovely Christmas letters, Miss
Latham! The dearest sort of a letter
from home; and just the jolllest,
chummiest one from Brother Don.”
Miss Latham sat In the arm-chair by
the window, also with an open letter—
her mother’s—In her hand. She was
very still, and I walked over to where
she sat. As I reached her, I saw a tear
fall on the letter. It was too much
for my Impulsive Southern tempera
ment. Forgetting the reserve I knew
so well, I said unhesitatingly:
"What Is It, Jean?”
But I didn’t wait for any answer. I
settled down on the arm of the chair,
and drew her head close to my shoul
der. We sat there in perfect silence
for awhile. Presently, she began to
talk, and I soon understood the pathos
under Jean’s dignity.
"It happened tv^lve years ago, Hel
„ en, when I was only eleven. Dick was
ten years older than I. We lived on a
farm in Vermont, which had been in
our family for generations. Father's
strongest wish was to have Dick stay
on the farm. But Dick didn’t like
farming, and went away to learn a pro
fession. Father was very angry. He
forbade Dick to write to us, and moth
er’s heart nearly broke. Two years
ago father died. We had then lost all
trace of Dick, and mother went to live
with Sister Louise. I came to Boston
to esrn my living, and look for Dick.
If I could only find him, Helen, and
give him back to mother, I don’t be
lieve there would be anything left to
- ——IU
Two lovely Christmas letters!"
wish for. Before father died, some
one from our village saw Dick In Bos
ton, and somehow I can’t help think
ing he’ll come back here sometime.”
She stopped talking, and I felt that
I wanted to spend the rest of my
natural life looking for Dick Latham.
I quietly hid Don’s letter from Jean’s
sight.
"He wouldn't know me, Helen; I
was only eleven, you know. But I’m
Bure I should recognize Dick. He was
full-grown then, and wouldn't have
changed much."
Our Christmas was a very quiet one.
Jean was not at all well. In the even
ing she became feverish, and by morn
ing was very 111. Her fever Increased
so rapidly that she soon (ailed w
recognize me. Expert care was abso
lutely necessary, and we bad to re
mows bar to a hospital.
Of course. I haunted the place. All
j tLat Christmas week, I came find went
every day. but Jean never ore® knew
I was with her. One morning, 1 iounu
the doctor beside her. He had the
kindest, truest blue eyes I ever saw,
and I knew I could trust him. On New
Year's eve, I waited in the corridor
over an hour, watching for him. He
came at last, and when he saw me.
his face lighted up with a sympathetic
smile.
“Your friend will know you to-mor
row,” he said. “There is no doubt of
her recovery now.”
He was right. Next morning Jean
greeted me with a weak smile of
recognition. A nurse came in Just
then, and said cheerily, "Mis3 Lottom
is doing very well.”
"‘Miss Lottom’!" I said in surprise
and glanced down at the temperature
chart on the table. X saw written
there “Miss J. Lottom.”
"There has been a mistake made in
my friend’s name,” I said. I lUfpat;
the fault Is mine, for it was I who
wrote the name for the head nurse.
She is Miss Latham.”
”‘lAtham’!’’ eau the nurse "Wha
a coincidence! hne has been attenued
by a Dr. Latham.”
At the words ”Dr. I.atbam,” Jean’e
'She’s Jean—Jean Latham!”
hand in mine gave a convulsive clasp,
and there came into her eyes a look
of painful. Incredulous supplication.
I, too, had become almost too excited
to speak, but managed to gasp in im
becile iteration, “Dr. Latham!”
“Yes,” the nurse replied. “Dr
Richard Reese Latham, of New York
He was resident physician here five
years ago, and has just spent a month
with us. He returned to New York
last night, and sails at five this after
noon for Bremen."
That last statement, added to the
general excitement, was too much for
Jean. She fainted, and fifteen min
utes were spent in reviving her. But
in those fifteen minutes I had formed
a plan of action. I must go to New
York and stop Dr. Latham from go
ing to Europe. In Jean’s weakened
condition, I knew the disappointment
of losing what she had sought for two
years, and had at last almost grasped,
would be fatal. When she became fully
conscious, I said:
“It’s all right, Jean. I’ll bring him
back. Don’t be afraid. To-morrow
you will have Dick."
I shall never be able to tell just
how I contrived to catch that New
York train. I did not have time to
think, scarcely to breathe, till I found
myself seated in the coach rushing
southwest. I bought a newspaper on
the train, and learned from what dock
the Prinz Regent Lultpold would sail.
I did not know Dr Latham's New York
address, and decided I could not risk
looking it up. I might miss both him
and the boat.. I would go directly to
the steamship from the railroad sta
tion, and await his coming aboard.
At fifteen minutes to five, when 1
had begun to nervously fear that I
should be carried off to Bremen, and
that without Dr. Latham, I saw him
coming aboard. I went to meet him.
“I came from Boston, where 1 saw
you at the Massachusetts General
Hospital treating my friend,” I said.
“I remember,” he replied politely.
“I hope Miss Lottom is doing well.”
“Yes, but she isn’t Miss Lottom.
She’s Jean—Jean Latham, and you
didn't know her.”
He looked puzzled a moment, as
though trying to decide how best to
dispose ot the apparent lunaMc before
him. Then a sudden startled look
flashed Into his eyes, and he said
quickly, "You can't mean Jean—our
little Jean.”
"Yes, your sister Jean. Her father
Is dead, and Mrs. Latham lives with
Louise in Vermont. For two years
Jean has been looking for you.”
The mention of these familiar names
evidently convinced him that I was
sane, and knew his family. Then he
wasted neither time nor breath in in
quiries.
I immediately resigned command of
my own expedition, and left all details
of management in the man's hands,
as only a Southern girl can. In an in
credibly short time, he had placed me
in a cab, and we were whirled back
to the station. Once fairly settled on
the Boston train, he wanted to know
everything, and I did my best to sat
| isfy him.
Well, 1 wont to live in their new
j Beacon street home, and Mrs. Lath
am will call me Dick’s caplor.

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
Scott’s Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scott’s
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich

American Roman Catholics contrib
uted during 1900 for foreign missions
$71,230, the amount being sent to the
Central Council of the Congregation
for the Propagation of the Faith. The
headquarters of the propaganda are in

money is sent to support weak mis

American contribution is much larger
than previous ones.
It isn’t against the law in Minnesota
to kill a gambler if he has been cheat
ing, and will not return the money to
his victim. At least, a case at Granite
Falls has just been decided to that
effect. Dr. Wintner pulled his pistol
and shot a gambler with whom ho was
playing cards, because the gambler had
cheated and refused to pay the money
on demand. A jury declared upon oath
that Dr. Wintner was not guilty ol
murder.
“Future punishment? Let’s not d's

to his hot-headed young parishioners.
“But did you ever think of it from the

you see them imitating your faults and
hampered by your weaknesses, and
know that you’re to blame—ah, there’e
a kind of future punishment there can
be no two opinions about!”

The Rochester Theolgical seminary
may be removed to New York in the
near future, plans to that end being
under consideration by the president
and trustees of the institution. The
reasons for the proposed removal, as
stated by President Strong, are that
modern tendencies toward the great
cities make it necessary for institu
tions of learning to seek large center
because of the superior opportunities
in reach of students, and also the fact
that a large part of the support of the
Rochester seminary comes from New
York City.
The London Lancet, a high medical
authority, says that the habit of self
druggging has grown to be a source oi
untold mischief. The practice has been
greatly assisted by the enormous im
provements in pharmaceutical prepara
tions. Treating symptoms without
medical advice may be temporarily
satisfactory, but what if the physical
disturbance be the sign of fatal dis
ease? A little knowledge, coupled
with overconfidence, is a dangerous
thing in dealing with the ailments
which come in so many forms. Vary
ing the adage, it may be said that a
man who is his own doctor has a fool
for a patient.
Some amusing letters find their way
into the government archives. One
federal officeholder recently made an
appeal for screens for the building
where he worked, saying that within
a hundred yards were three livery sta
bles, one mule boarding house, one
horse sanitarium with operating table,
and one fish morgue. He added that
his handwriting had been spoiled by
the constant endeavor to write and
keep off flies at the same time. He
had pasted ten sheets of sticky fly
paper, and while they carried off thou
sands of victims they seemed to occa
sion no vacancies in the ranks of the
survivors. The pathetic appeal was
in vain. "Uncle Sam is rich enough
to give us all” screens, but he is too
hard-hearted to do it.
During the famous Douglas and Lin
coln debate and subsequent campaigns
the point was frequently brought out
by the supporters of “the Little Giant”
that Mr. Lincoln had served only a
single term in Congress, but that Sen
ator Douglas had enjoyed for years a
national reputation. This point, saye
a writer in Lippincott’s, was urged in
a heated discussion between an ardent
supporter of Douglas and a German
voter who favored Lincoln. Finally the
former, thinking to overwhelm his op
ponent, said: “Who is this Lincoln,
anyhow? Nobody ever heard of him
until Senator Douglas brought him into
notice by nolding a joint debate with
him. Senator Douglas, on the other
hand, is a great statesman. Why, he
has had his eye on the presidential
chair for the last ten years!” “Vot is
dot you say?” was the reply. “You say
Meester Dooglas have hat his eye on
der bresident chair for ten years?"
“Yes, that is just what I said.” “Veil,
you shoost tell Meester Dooglas if he
vill keep his eye on dot chair shoost a
leedle vile longer he vill see old Abt
Lincoln sitting down in it.” This closed
the debate, amid a roar of laughter
from the bystanders.

Somebody’s heart softened toward
the seven hundred or more immigrants
who had to spend their first Easter in

cream was a part of she bill of fare.
To many of the newcomers—to

cream was a novelty. Some were much
puzzled at the strange article of food
“Sure an’ there’s frost in th’ milk,”
said an Irish girl, when the first cold
spoonful had surprised her throat.
“Milk, did ye say,’’ said a North of
Ireland lad; “begorra an’ it’s more
like swatened snow, it is.”
“An’ how did they kape it from

Some Italian immigrants did not
take as kindly to the ice cream, and
they tried to make the attendant un
derstand that they would like to have
it warmed up.
