'And give the rest of the poor devils in the ward a chance to catch a mortal chill." responded the second voice. "Yon are as consistent as the rest of your sex, Miss Brady."

And yet I was. knew by some newly developed sense that I lay mute and white upon the cot which had supported my body so long and that the fragrance of a prayer floated through the awful stillness of the room, It had no form nor sound, and vet some thing within nie jierceived it, as the lan ifuid senses perceive the fragrance of newlv mown hay upon a serene June morning. A continuous pageant of the most se raphic vision unfurled m endless progres sion iH'fore me. i saw the green hills of inv childhood's home lift themselves like emerald bubbles in a haze of enchanted air. I saw the sapphire of the sen set in a rim of violet dawns and daffodil noons. I saw the stretch of desert sands lik drifts of snow within the compass of a lonely Intnl. And in the midt of their iH'wiltlering vision 1 suddenly saw a gleaming slab within a wiudowless room where something long and white inn still was lving. Drops of ice were form ing on the edges of the slab, and a death i:old stream was purling across its shin ing surface. Something that was not a voice, and which made itself manifest to tne through other channels than the ear poke lightly of the grave wherein soon should lie. "W e will burv linn tonight, it seemed to say, "there will lie no friends to in tertere. and there are too many dyin these few days past to keep 'still's' ove it half day."

'What flush are you talking alsiut?" responded the doctor, bringing the light lie carried nearer the face that lay upon the marble slab, where the ice drops were farming, crystal by crystal, like the heads one threads upon a growing strnml "Why. the flush we both have noticed since we stood here. I knew by the in tent gaze you bestowed upon what gen erally demands but a passing glance that you discovered it when 1 did, and 1 de mand that the body be removed to the ward until we investigate the ease." "That flush is only the reflection of your red dress," laughed the doctor. "You are wasting time," said the nurse. "I shall call a stretcher to carry this living man out of the morgue.

To intelligently locate roads for a county, for instance, there should be u map on a large scale showing water courses, railway stations, towns and their population and the population per square mile for different sections. Having de termined the general direction and ex tent of the road, the problems of grade. drainage, adaptability of the soil for road purposes and minor considerations may present themselves liefore a definite location may be determined. The amount of grade in a country road should prop erly depend upon the character of the country and traffic. Grades should never be level ana never very steep, it is better to go around a steep hill than over it Steep short cuts maybe convenient for neighborhood roatls, but never for main thoroughfares. Clayey surface mav bi heljed by the addition of sand and sandy surface by the addition of clay With regard to drainage, ample and well graded side ditches with abundant out lets for storm water should bp supplied The effort should be to construct a nar row good road not a wiile common roa 1.

Minneapolis Tribune. riillmlf Iphla a City of Kami I lea. Philadelphia is a dingy city by the side of Paris. It is outdone by most of the world's centers in all by which the world reckons greatness, but no city that is or ever was. has done more to make fam ilies and therefore children comforta ble. If all Paris were to file past you, every fifth jierson would be a child un der 15 years of age. If all Philadelphia were to do the same, there would be three such children for every 10 persons. File for file, there would be one-half more children in Philadelphia than in Paris; more file for file, than in New York or London; more than in any of the world's old great cities; more, le canse Philadelphia makes life more com fortable for families and for children.

I have rc.nl j many and have gained from them aj thorough contempt for probability and j the police. The first thing you should do when a crime has been committed, as I often said to Uncle Potfkins. is to sus pect the most unlikely man us being the criminal. That was the course 1 adopted when Aunt Pollkins' earrings were stolen. It wis in the morning when the tin ft was discovered. Aunt came down late and ran into the room where Uncle Poffkin., Dora and I were breakfasting. My aunt Uire traces of strong ugitatiou. aud she hud forgotten her cap. My earrings! she cried. "They are gone they are stoleu!" "God luess my soul! exclaimed I ncie Poffkins, dropping his teacup as if he had been shot and leaping up with a yell of pain. He said the yell was attributed to the heat of the tea. which was trickling down his legs. My aunt explained. The earrings were kept wrapped iu cotton wool in a jewel box on lit r dressing table. The box was never locked, and the housemaid had ac cess to the room. The girl had only been in the house a week and was known to have a beau. My aunt and cousin at once concluded she was the thief and sent for a policeman, who searched her trunk and found nothing, of course. I could have told them that. Meanwhile I kept my eye on Uncle Poffkins, He was the one person who could have no motive whatever in steal ing the earrings. He was very rich, most respectable and extremely slow and noisy in his movements. Moreover my aunt would have given him the ecr rings at any moment if he had asked for them. Evidently he was the last man to attract suspicion. Accordingly I watched Uncle PotTkins closely. We passed a week of excitement. Tlie police were running out and in. Dora croFB examined the housemaid incessant ly. Aunt Poffkins went abroad weeping and reminding every one tshe met that the earrings were a present from L'ncle Poffkins on the occasion of their engage ment. My nncle himself affected to make light of the matter and went so tar as loudly and ostentatiously to curse tlie earrings. He was wrong if he thulium he could put mo off the scent by that clumsy maneuver. I never left him alone. I trucked him to the city, hnng about all the morning, shadowed him wheu he went to lunch, when he re turned. whe.i he crossed over to the ex change. Unknown to him I was on his bus inside if he rode on the top, und on top when it rained und he stowed himself away inside. He never escaped me ex drt when he was in his office. At last, after 10 days' weary chasing, I was re warded. I need not say that the jsilice had discovered nothing. The house was still topsy turvy and my aunt subject to intermittent hysterics. That wronged creature, the house maid, did her work with a mop in one hand and in the other a handkerchii f, wet with innocent tears. But to return to Uncle Poff kins. The tenth day after the earrings had disappeared, as lie was brushing his hat before leaving the house aud looking at my aunt's tear bedewed visage, his conscience smote him, and he so far forgot himself us to exclaim audibly: "I'm blamed if I can stand this any longer!" The folly of the man was in credible. I had him now! In an instant I was after him. He took a bus, 1 took a cab. und we started for the city. Now mine the odd thing Uncle Poffkii.A disappeared. How it happened I do l.ot know, but when the bns pulled up to the bank Uncle Poffkins was not to be seen. I questioned the conductor, but he had evidently been bribed and told nie very rudely that he had something lietter to do than answer my riddles. He drove on, and I was left for the fir t time at fault. It was evening before I saw Uncle Poffkins. 1 was going home in a very disconsolate state, when, alamt ''(10 yards from our gate, I espied him ahead of me. Quickening my pace, I stealthily a proached him. He opened the gate und passed in; noisojessly I followed hiin. A little farther on, sheltered by the shrubbery, he stopped, and after a stealthy glance toward the house took from his coat pocket a small morocco case. I stood on tiptoe just behind, and with mingled horror and satisfaction as I looked over his shoulder I saw the earrings! I was right. Uncle Poffkins sighed. "Shall I give 'em to her or not?" he said to himself. "It's rank waste. Still, it will keep her quiet." I watched the struggle la-tween his good and his evil angel. Clearly the good angel had tri umphed so far as to bring the earrings within 50 yards of Aunt Poffkins. but now came the tug of war. It was severe, und it ended in the victory Nil. Uncle Poffkins. shutting the c it siiHii, exclaimed "It's all blamed nonsense! I'll take 'em back to Abraham tomorrow." Abra- hain no doubt was the receiver, for my uncle went on in a satisfied tone: "He'll make no trouble about taking 'ein." He was putting the case into his pocket wheu my feeling overcame nie. Respect for one's elderly relatives is a . r.u.lt.,.. I,.,. t .,iut it,,t lui jauiww oi uij ir-riiuD, uui. i iiin.-in u. mv allowed to override higher duties. 1 flung myself on Uncle Poffkins, crying: "Surrender! You cannot escaj.e me!" My uncle fell heavily on the gravel path. I fell heavily on the top of him and pin ioned his arms to the ground. "Tom!" he exclaimed, "what the mis chief ure you drunk:" "It is useless, sir." I began, "to affect ign" I had reached this point when I was violently collared from behind, lift f.l bodily off my uncle's chest, where I had la-en sitting, and was deposited on a grass plat, while a deep voice said in my ens: "Now. then, young man. turn it np You're a lively uu. yon are. Fnrst yer aunt and bow yer uncle." The new coiner was a policeman. From his pocket he produced a pair of handculi's and put them on tay unresisting wrists. Then I found my voice. "What aio you handcuffing me for?" I demanded. "There's the thief." "Gammon!" said he, grinning. "Why, you fool, there's the property.' said I. lie looked and saw the earrings lving on the ground by Uncle Pohkins An ex; re..s:oii of bewilderment over spread the oi'iiccr's f....'i's grop.n,,' again in his pockets he brought forth a pair ot earrings, i hen gazmg at the pair m ins hand to the other pair on the ground he ejaculated softly, and to my ears at least mysteriously: These e:uTi::gs in my 'and was found in your drawer, young man. wrapped in cotton wool. ' Jw do you account for that?" "Those on the ground." 1 retorted, "were found in Mr. Poffkins' tKicket. How do you account for that?" He shook his head sadly. Then he suddenly bright ened up. He had an idea. He produced another pair of handcuffs, clapped them on my uncle's hands and cried cheer fully: "We can't be wrong now. can we: March!" So L'ncle Poffkins and I marched, the policeman between us. with a hold on each of our collars, and in this predicament we were presented to Aunt Polliiins. to Dora and to tin housemaid. The housemaid giggled con BUinedly, for which, under tlie circum stances, one could hardly blame her. Aunt Poffkins cxjit rieuced a relapse and Dora alone was equal to tlie situa tion. She made ns sit down and gave ns each a glass of sherry. Then the re criminations began. Uncle Poff kins de clared his earrings were uot the stolen pair.. Distressed at my aunt's sorrow he had gone to tne jeweler's and bough, her a similar pair. They cost SO gum eas. The struggle 1 had witnessed was between love aud economy, uot honest) ami crime. I swore that the earrings found in my bureau had uot been placed there by me. "And you are both quite right," said Dora. "Uncle's earrings are uot the stolen ones. Tom. do you remember hav ing the toothache?" It was clear to me in a moment. 1 had asked for cotton wool, und had been directed to my aunt's jewel box and from it grabbed a large handful and carried it to iny room. Then on reflection I hml tried brandy instead of laudanum, and the cotton wool was thrust into the drawer. The earrings had been buried in the cotton wool. "So you were the thief S'ourself!" laughed Dora. It wi;s true. If only I had strictly followed out what my reading had taught me! For improbable as it was that 1 should think Uncle Poffkins guilty, it would have been stiil more improbable hi.d I fixed the crime on myself. I lacked the full courage of my principles, and the result is Uncle Poffkins and I do not speak. ft. .iun.es Budget. The Iiijuallt e of Dower Distribution. The injustice to woman in the com mon law rule of distribution of dower when real esttite is turned into money for division among heirs was recently painfully impressed in a Michigan case. A couple had sti:vted in life25 yearn ago. having very limited means. The wife was the nmre robust physically and al ways of essential sup tort to the husband in his business cares, besides discharg ing with ability and devotion her duties as mother and lmineniaker. They pos sessed a competence at the husband's death. The widow und two minor chil dren survived. They wished to sell a piece of land that had been entirely un productive up to the death, but at that time there was an inquiry to purchaw. To enable a sale of this land out of the intestate estate the probate court .expense was ff-10. or only tlOl. ss than the share uiiotteii to me wiuow on tne oasis of her probable life yet to be. while euch of the minor children, qnite incompetent to handle money in business, received $ 1!I5. or three ami a quarter times as much as the mother, a prudent busiuess woman. Woman's Tribune. Novel Anchors. The British steamer Bawntnore now discharging coal at Mission No. 2, has a novelty aboard in the shape of a stockiest) anchor. In fact, she has two of them, and they are hauled up "chock a block" to the hawse holes iu a way to make a sailor feel like kicking himself for all the risks he has run in the way of cutting and fishing anchors in years gone by. The anchor has no stock and no flukes. It consists of a heavy semicircular mass of metal fastened directly to the chain aud furnished with two attachments very similar to the old time flukes, but twisted like the flanges of a screw propeller. The anchor can lie let go und grounded inside of 10 seconds and hoisted iu less than half a minute. It will take hold of the hard est bottom, and the anchors, starboard and lairt, will keep a ship in position in the worst weather. San Francisco Call. Distance Traveled by Odors.
