From the window of the chapel softly
sounds an organ's note.
Through the peacaful Sabbath gloam
ing drifting shreds of music float,
And the quiet and the firelight and llie
sweetly solemn tunes.
Bear me dreaming back to boyhood
and Its Sunday afternoons;
When we gathered In the parlor, in
tho parlor stiff and grand.
Where the haircloth chairs and anfaa
stood arrayed, a gloomy band,
Where each queer oil portrait watched
us with a countenance of wood,
iAnd the shells upon the whatnot In a
dustiest splendor stood.
i
Then the quaint old parlor organ, with
the quaver In Its tongue,
Seemed to tremble In its fervor as tho
sacred songs were sung,
As we sang the homely anthem, sang
the glad revival hymns
Of the glory of the story and the light
no sorrow dima. t
While the dusk grew even deeper and
the evening settled down.
And the lamp-lit windows twinkled in
the drowsy little town,
Old and young we sang the chorus and
the echoes told it o'er
In the dear, familiar voices, hushed or
scattered evermore.
From the windows of the chapel faint
and low the music dies,
And the picture In the firelight fades
before my tear-dimmed eyes,
But my wistful fancy, listening, hears
the night wind hum the tunes
That we sang there In the parlor on
those Sunday afternoons.
A Jest of Fate.
BY MAUDE E. LEONARD.
(Copyright, 1901, by Dally Story Pub. Co.)
The man was in a brown study. Ap
parently he was engaged In a diffi
cult experiment In his laboratory for
his hands moved automatically among
the chemicals. Liquids met, min
gled and were separated deftly, but In
reality he was entirely Ignorant of
what his sensitive fingers were doing,
for his mind was busily engaged oth
erwise. He was a well-built man, and his
profile spoke of strength, with Its
slightly aquiline nose, deepset eye,
and closely trimmed beard. That the
mouth hidden by this same beard
held doubtful curves and a curious
droop was a fact naturally unknown
to most persons. When Dr. Packard
chose to address a meeting of scien
tists his auditors always were aroused
and listened. For he had a brain.
Whether be was troubled by a heart
was something women liked to spec
ulate about Those who had solved the
question discreetly hid tbelr dearly
bought knowledge, for women do not
parade their hurts.
In the face of this, It Is somewhat
remarkable to understand that at the
moment when be was so aimlessly
puttering about In bis mechanical
work with lackluster, Introspective
eyes. Dr. Packard's brain was In re
ality entirely occupied with a woman.
She had come out of tho past so far
back that the halo of mystery was
beginning to adorn her memory, and
because he was a son of Adam Dr.
Packard found this uniquely attrac
tive. She needed some such softening
The other held poison.
nimbus, he reflected, with a touch of
sardonic humor, for she must be forty
years old It was over twenty years
since be had left that miserable small
town in the west when opportunity
had stretched out a finger to his rest
less grasp. The tumultuous and fast
following years had cluttered his
mind, and It came to him that this
was the first time he bad ever so
seriously and leisurely contemplated
his act.
He set down a siphon smartly and
(mashed It as he reflected what a fool
ho bad been. At nineteen he had
married Bessie Crowcll. She was a
waitress in the railroad restaurant and
alone in the world. She had been
pretty, of course, and she was good.
A to her spelling he was not so sure.
Carefully he pieced out his boyish
recollection of her. He knew precise
ly what her typo would have degen
erated Into In the time which had
passed. With the uncompromisingly
accurate knowledge of the mature man
he could see her as she undoubtedly
was after the I a pee of twenty years.
She was fat and wore broad, flat shoes
with the buttons off. Her gowns were
of the dreary, nondescript wools stu
pid women affect, and her waist went
by courtesy. Her hair it hai been
brown and roughly curly was thin
ning and shiny and screwed Into a
tight knot. Her complexion was
coarse ana ony, and she was gross,
stolid and entirely repellant to a man
ct fastidious tastes. Her mind J ad
never risen above the gossip of the
store and corners. As this picture
grew, so correspondingly faded the
Idea which as a Just man had attacked
him, that he had done wrong In run
ning away from her. It was with a
sort of pride he recollected In all these
years he bad never failed to send reg
ular remittances back to her and the
child. For there had been one, but
It had not appealed to his restless
youth and still slumbering emotions
of fatherhood. His lawyer relieved
him of the delicate task of forwarding
She bad never heard such a laugh,
the allowance to Bessie, Mrs. Abbott.
When be ran away he had changed
his name to Packard and she bad nev
er traced him, though his iiiYaiUuuie
legal man had once carelessly con
veyed to him the Impression that a
vindictive and spasmodic search for
her strangely missing husband was
now and then made by bis client's ben
eficiary, Mrs. Abbott. Packard had
thanked his legal man gravely with
out vouchsafing any information con
cerning the recalcitrant husband to
his expectant legal man, and had gone
to his club to offer up thanks that his
trail was covered.
Dr. Packard, the scientist, the fa
vored, the admired by the lovely and
gracious women of society and by
men of affairs what had this man in
common with the hot-headed boy of a
quarter of a century before, whose
name was Abbott and who had been
a fool? She could never find him.
With a short sigh Dr. Packard set
down the retort ho held and reached
for the glass of water he had drawn
some moments before. The day was
warm and he was thirsty. He drank
every drop before he emerged from
his mental wanderings and stood
blinking as one whose sleping eyes
have opened suddenly on a glare of
light Then he stumbled, sat down,
and stared stupidly at the empty
glass. Two feet away from where it
had stood was another glass similar
in shape, filled with a colorless liquid.
One of those glasses had held water,
the other had been filled with a solu
tion he had made of a peculiar, color
less, tasteless poison. And he bad
drunk one of them. .
There was a dampness on his fore
head. If It was the poison he had
swallowed he was a dead man Inside
an hour. Then of a sudden he squared
his shoulders and laughed harshly
with relief. Hastily he reached for the
other glass he could test Its contents
and the suspense would be over. As he
grasped It his trembling hand shifted,
the glass slipped into the sink and the
contents disappeared down the drain.
The man groaned. ' It had come on
him so suddenly, he had awakened to
the everyday world so abruptly he had
not had time to get his balance. He
was not In a normal condition to face
such a catastrophe and he sat clutch
ing the table edge with starting eyes
and a ghastly face. He did not want
to die be would not! A blind panic
had him fast as he realized there was
no use calling for help. No one could
save him. With nerves tingling he sat
waiting for the first twinge of pain, his
Imagination lending hideous aid to
reality. In a few minutes everything
would be ended for him It It was the
poison he had swallowed and some-
thing of his old, dominating will came
back as he rapidly adjusted his point
of view. Stubbornly his thoughts re
turned to Bessie Abbott but not with
contemplative llestire this time. She
loomed a solemn fact in the life he
had suddenly become separated from
and the Idea of a full expiation seized
him and was Insistent .With the odd
notion growing he rose and wavered
toward his desk In the next room and
wrote hurriedly. There was really no
one else with so good a claim on his
wealth and the child, young man by
this time he still thought of him as
an alien, disinterestedly might pos
sibly make some use of prosperity even
as he had done. With livid face he
glanced over the unblottcd letter.
"You could -never have found me
living," it ran, "but It is my whim
you should profit by my death. It
will give New York something to talk
bout and wonder over. I do not ob
ject adding to the gayety of nations
for I know the devil of ennui. Come
to the address at the top ot this sheet
and take possession. Everything Is
yours. I must confess I rarely remem
bered you till today when strangely
enough you have beeq much In my
thoughts. They say the mind of the
aged reverts to scenes of youth pos
sibly In my case forty Is old. It Is
evidently sufficient In fate's Judgment
for In halt an hour I shall be deaf.
Qoodbjr."
The brutality of the few word
seemed to revive him and stop the dull
pricking that was stealing over his
body. Methodically be sealed, ad-2-esaed
ana stamped the envelope,
walked out and handed It to the pont
man who at that moment was unlock
ing the mailbox. Then be came back
to the laboratory and shut the door
behind him. There was no longer In
bis mind any doubt as to which of
the glasses he had emptied fur his
hands were cold, he trembled as with
an ague and numbness stole over bis
brain. He could not think. He wan
dered around tho room with protest
ing despairing tread and when his
knees gave way beneath him he fell
gasping to the floor and the wavei
swept over him.
e e e e e
Hours later those working over Dr.
Packard who had been found on the
floor of his laboratory were rewarded
by the flicker of his eyelids and pres
ently he spoke. It was the usual Inane
question of those coming out of the
depths.
"You are In your own room," brisk
ly answered the physician at his right,
a personal friend. Dr. Packard was
trying to think as the waves which
had submerged him receded. "I was
poisoned," be breathed in a puzzled
way.
His friend's face broke into the
humoring smile given remarks mada
by the feeble and incompetent. "Non
sense," he said soothingly, "you've
been in the most extensive and all
pervading faint I ever saw but you
weren't poisoned, man what put that
Idea Into your head?.. You're dream
ing! And what do yoj mean by keel
ing over in such a reprehensible way?
You were working too long without
food and rest, that's what ailed you!"
It was some minutes Utter that Dr.
Packard remembered the letter.
He laughed once, shortly, abruptly,
before he turned his face toward the
wall. But the trained nurse at his side
Jumped. She had never heard quite
such a laugh In all her experience,
And she never wanted to Var it

A gray-haired alumnus of Columbia,
on from a western state for the gradu
ating exercises, chatted of the days
when he was at Columbia, "There
was Prof. Davies," said the old col
legian. "We fellows used to like him
as well as It was possible for a col
lege boy to like a professor of mathe
matics. One winter, I recollect, the
members of my clasa, myself among
the rest, had found considerable
amusement and relieved ourselves of
class work by burning as; fetida, pep
per and other unpleasant Milngs In
the various class room3. we tried the
trick with Professor Anthon, who
taught Greek, and with Prof. Nairne,
who occupied the chair of moral phil
osophy. At last some of the bolder
spirits suggested that we transfer our
attentions to Prof. Davies. Well, I
remember that morning. It was bit
ter cold, and all of the outlets of the
room wero closed to keep the warmth
within. We were on hand early, and
had several fat lumps of asafetlda
smoking away when the professor
came. He walked to the desk and
laid his hat and coat on it. Then the
odor struck him. He hesitated a mo
ment, and then walked slowly to the
door, locked it, and put the key in hie
pocket. 'Now, gentlemen, we will en
Joy this together,' said he, a3 he re
turned to his seat. Then he got back
at us. The mathematics he threw at
us would have filled a set of mathe
matical books from the primary arith
metic to the calculus. And all the
time the asafetlda was smoking, for
he would not let us remove It. When
we got out of that room after two
hours we were wiser and more discreet
boys, and you can bet we played no
more tricks on the author of Davies'
Legendre." New York Times.

I think It must be owned that the de
partures from the old order of home
life have greatly ameliorated the con
dition of the weak, the timid, the less
self-assertive writes BLshop Potter in
the Woman's Companion. In any given
homo circle it is not always the clever
est or the strongest who claims and
exercises the mastery. A shrinking and
sensitive nature will not fight for its
precedence In the home any more than
out of it A gentle, modest woman will
often be overborne by her loud, push
ing and vulgarly modern children. A
man of refinement and real force will
often let himself be bullied by a brawl
ing woman because his very nature
makes him "no brawler." Now, In the
old days, so far aa social Intercourse
was concerned, it was largely a ques
tion of the home or nothing. If there
was no bright talk, no diverting rec
reation, no songs and laughter there,
there was none anywhere.

About three-quarters of a railroad's
receipts come from the freight depart
ment. The passenger department sup
plies nearly all the rest, the income
from mall, express and other privileges
being comparatively small. Carrying
passengers is a simple matter, or would
be, If state legislatures did not now
and then take a hand in prescribing
added specifications for railroad pas
senger service. In Ohio a law was
passed decreeing that the height be
tween the platform and the lowest
steps of passenger conches should not
exceed 12 Inches. This cost the rail
roads nearly $100,000, and the reform
led to the abolition ot a number of flui
stops where the passengers had been
quite willing to scramble up off the

"I suffered for years with a pain In

that I felt encouraged.
"I took It faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that I am entirely cured. Words fail
to express my gratitude. Perfect health
once more is tho best thing I could
wish for, and thanks to Peruna enjoy
that now." Minnie E. McAllister.
The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to imitate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tonics are to be found In
many drug stores. These remedies can
be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only
be obtained at uniform price, and no
druggist can get it a cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted
to substitute the cheap imitations of
Peruna for Peruna. It is done every
day without a doubt.
