Seaborough's Mystery rmOU will always love tne, Dick?" y "Till my death, Flossie!" The unpleasant memory of those words eanie to Richard Filby as lie sat on tbc cliffs a mile away from the little village of Seaborough paint ing, or rather attempting to paint. What a fool be bad been! He bad flirted disgracefully with the Innkeep er's daughter, Flossie, who had seem ingly taken all his attentions in earnest, -perfectly unaware that there war air other young woman up in Iondon to whom he was engaged. Last evening they bad walked out together as usual, wending their way along the shore, and there the declaration of love re corded above had been made. How on eartb was he to get out of this Im broglio? After a few minutes Filby dropped palette and brushes. Ambitious as he was to be famous, he really could not paint this morning. He slipped off his camp stool, and, throwing him self full length on the grass, gazed up reflectively into the Hky. What a nuisance this artistic temperament was! He was formally betrothed to Freda Withers at Forest Hill, and had no desire to cud the betrothal, and yet down here in this romantic little spot the temptation to enjoy himself with Flossie Burnett, who had attracted him the very first mo ment that he arrived at the inn, had proved too strong to be resisted. "Nice day, sir!" Filby looked up. It was the coast guard on his round. "Yes! Rather warm for working, though, and for walking, too, I should imagine." "Oh, I don't mind that, sir. Used to It, you see. That's a grand bit of cliff you're painting, sir." "If I could only get it right it would be." The coastguard mused, his hand stroking his chin, his eyes taking in the points of the picture. "Ah, I mfnd that spot well. There was a suicide from there about a year back. A chap he was the son of a farmer round here) as was gone on a girl that he couldn't get jumped right off (here info the sea. His coat was found on the cliff he'd taken It off before he jumped but his body must have been -washed away by the sea, for though we searched high and low, we never found it. It was a sad case." Directly the man had passed on Filby began pacing up arid down en the cliff. An idea had come, the exe cution of which might solve the diffi culty he was in, and with free move ment of his limbs Filby always thought better. The notion presented difficulties at first, but one by one he aw his way out of them. What a lucky thing to hare had that conversa tion with the coastguard! The means of relief from all his troubles was at band. That night an unusual thing oc curred at the Seaborough Inn. Un Been by anyone, a man stole out at midnight, holding some dark objects under his arm, and made straight for the edge of the cliff. Not a soul was about; only the distant sighing or the waves broke the stillness. Hour after hour passed, by, yet the man did not j return. But the wind rose, the sigh- ing 01 me sea oecame a tumultuous roar, and by the time the light broke a ; regular tempest was in progress. Two hours prior to that mysterious midnight flight Flossie Barnett sat in her bedroom, her usually smiling face most seriously set. A letter on foreign note paper and bearing tbe Cape Town postmark was in her hands, and she had committed the contents to memory for about the tenth time. It was from her soldier-lover, Jack Preston, written a couple of days before he was to em bark on the transport for England. In a very short while the writer would be here in person, with the plainly stated object of claiming her as his bride. Now Flossie was in a quandary. Her little flirtation with her visitor, Mr. Filby, had taken a far more serious turn than she bad anticipated. She bad merely intended to amuse herself with him during the absence of bcr real lorer, and surely a giri left by herself for two whole years had lib erty to seek some mild amusement. On a higher social level than herself, be had treated her as an equal, and that bad rather turned her bead. Leaving that side of the question, however, Flossie turned to the con sideration of the more practical mat ter what was to be done now? Mr. Filby must be Informed, and that speedily, of Jack Treason's existence, but bow could the Information be most delicately conveyed? A personal ' Interview would be most satisfactory, but Flossie shrank from cutting a poor ngrn at that. What would be the gentlest way of letting this artist lover !own '! Ah, she had li! Mr. Ifllby was re turning to town on the taorrow. Hue had bis London address, and would write there a letter, which would jtaeb hi in soon after his arrival home, explaining as best she might her pre- vbMM commitment to another. It was ,' ah easy and capital solution of tbe dlf ' faulty. IHm-tty lie was up neit morning riomU went out snd posted fter let 'jr X Mustering gale wu rtflog and wind lasted fiercely In bcr face, but r uri n v.i far too Important to t-U- at d. Uy. On rotanteg to the r04 ion she ran in the passage into the arms of Hell, the barman. "Oh, miss, I was looking for you everywhere! There's some one in the parlor as wants to see you most par tic'lar!" "Who, Bell?" "A sailor man, I should reckon, by his rig-out He seems most melted." Wondering who her visitor could be at this early hour, Flossie turned the handle of the parlor door. A man whom she recognized as one of the local coastguards rose and touched his fore head. "Beg pardon for disturbing you so early miss, but I've some very bad news. There's been, I'm afraid, an other case of suicide from the Seabor ough cliff." "Who?" queried Flossie, turning pale. "A gent as I've had one or two chats with of late. I don't know his name, but he was stopping here, he told me. One of those painter chapB." "Mr. Filby? You can't mean it. You must be mistaken." A wild look came into the girl's eyes. "Don't think I am. Perhaps you rec ognize these articles." Going to the back of the chair upon which be bad been sitting, the man picked up some objects from the ground. They were a man's coat and waistcoat, of a rather pronounced check. Startled recognition stood in Fles.sie's face. "Ah, I see you know them, miss. They're the very clothes a little stained -with paint, you see that that artist follow was wearing yesterday. But that's not ajl. When I found, those on the cliff, I turned them over, and there, pinned to the Inside pocket, was this envelope. I'm not much of 1 scholar, but I think it's addressed to you. miss." "Dearest Flossie," It ran. "Forgive me the ,step I have taken believe me, it was the only one. We loved one another too passionately to be happy apart for a single moment, and there was a life between that would always have divided w. I cannot explain, but, dearest, I could icrer have lived without you, so I have chosen what they say Is the pleasantest methed of departing from existence. Treasure the lovely time we had together. Your broken-hearted DICK." "I should like you to keep tbe one painting I did at Seaborough as a souvenir." Flossie read it through twice, and at last the sense began to bat in upon her brain. She had driven the man who loved her into a watery grav. That same afternoon Richard Filby in the flesh arrived at his lodgings in West Kensington. He did not look like a man who had lately undergone a fatal experience. His cheeks were bronzed and his step was brisk in deed, the first remark which his land lady made was to complimeDt blm on bis improved appearance. A knock at the door. The maid entered with a letter. II looked at the envelope and started. I; bore the Seaborough postmark. It was from Flossie Burnett. He was thoroughly roused now. Had his trick been dis- covered? Tnr(?e uilnutes later Filby was pa(.nl, the room, waving the letter Ir- ritably in the air. His scheme had gone tor nothing; all his trouble had been wasted. This chit of a girl had been simply playing with his affections all the time, and here was her onfes sion. He seized pen and paper. Thai night tbe following communication, was dropped into the post: "Mr. Richard Filby begs to Inform Miss Flossie Barnett that he is still alive and well, and has returned to town. On second consideration, he did not think Miss Barnett worth drowning for, and her letter to hand this evening confirms him in this opinion. Mr. Filby hopes that Miss Barnett will attain hap piness In her projected union and that bis little picture may find a niche on her walls." But by return of post, without line or comment, Filby, to his great Indigna tion, got his picture back, disfigured al most beyond recognition. New York News. Large as Lake Erie.

Trial of Itetroit Man Who Thought He'd Cut Jlla Wl.dom Teeth. "I thought I had cut my wisdom teeth a good many year ago," said a Detroiter the other day, "but a little thing happened In Chicago the last week to make me doubt It. In wander ing about I entered an auction-room on State street, while some 'family ef fects,' as the auctioneer termed them, were being sold. There was one old chest which caught my eye, as it ap peared to be of ancient make, and must have knocked about a good bit I looked Into It to find a lot of deeds and bonds, and my curiosity was at once aroused. Who could tell what wealth that old chest might hold. If nothing more, there must be deeds to at least 1,000 acres of land In Califor nia. I was sawing wood and saying nothing, but expecting to bid on that trunk, when a man beckoned me aside and said: " 'I hope you won't bid against me on that chest. The family owed me a debt of $90, and perhaps the eon tents will help me to get even.' "I didn't say whether I would or not, and he continued: " 'If you'll stand clear and let me bid it la I'll make you a present of $25 in cash.' "That was enough for me," contin ued the story teller with a long drawn sigh. "I shook the man off and start ed the bidding at $5. ne looked re proachfully at me and wont a dollar better. We had the bidding all to our selves and the auctioneer sized me up as a man who never let go of a good thing and encouraged me from time to time. I thought I had the other fel low downed several times, but he came back at me, and the result was that the chest was knocked down to me for $S3. I hired a cab and had it driven to my hotel with me and I lost no time In going through It." "And the deeds and bonds:" was asked. "Just 10 pounds altogether, and worth a cent a pound! It was. a 'plant, of course. They were looking for a suck er, and they found one." "But you you " "Oh, you try to make out that I'm not Ihe biggest as in the world, but if youll take the trouble to go up to my house my wife will soon con vince you that I lead the procession. Eighty-five of the long green, and my eyes were wide open all the time!" Detroit Free Tress. A WOMAN'S CURE FOR DIVORCE. Advocate Plan Which Wonlil Make Separation Matter of Choice, Dr. Frances Dickinson, president of the Social Lcormuiies Club of Chicago, has found, or professes to have found. a solution for the divorce evil. It is an interesting solu tion, but one which we believe few per sons can accept. "When people marry," says this twentieth century sage, "they should have two contracts one to satisfy the demands of the church, and the UR. DIOKIKSOS. other a (ton tract just among them selves. Iu It taeh sliould agree to re- se the other whenever culisd upon to do so." By some process of Involved think ing Dr. Dickinson argues that such a outraet would hav.e the tendency to make each of the parties to the mar riage contract more desirous of retain ing the other's affections. "There would be," she adds, "less carelessness, less taking things for granted, and less in difference In dress and manner among married folk." Dr. Dickinson is unmarried, and thus finds It as easy to solve problems for other people as the beggar does to ad vise the millionaire bow to speud his money or the childless person to direct parents how to rear their children. She would have people enter into a contract with the church, with a mental reserva tion attached the letter of the law without Its spirit The private agree ment, according to her, would be In certain contingencies superior to th public contract the latter for show, the former for use. Such a scheme would make a hollow mockery out of tbe most sacred relations of life and place the married state on a level with the conditions which prevail among savages, mvorce, as ii i, is too eusy. To render the married state less bind ing Is to Invite disaster to the home and the state. Utlca Globe. The Lou I Mtyltts.

Few young women have had such a thrilling expe:-lci!-e as that which re cently befell Miss Kettle Litter, for merly of Brooklyn, but now of Wyo ming. When her failior moved from Brooklyn to a ranch near Sheri dan. Wyo., Betty accompanied blm and soon obtained a position us teach er in a district school. The latter was three miles distant from Ult i ra rich arid Mis I.ictcr rode daily be tween it anil !ier Iiomo. One afternoon she remained later tliaa usual at the school house, ai"l o.n her way home stopped at s pile of huge bowlders to examine some curious Inscriptions cut Into the surface. She let the pony graze along the trail and soon was deeply en gaged in deciphering the marks. A low. fumbling sound started her. She sprang to her feet. A large herd of cattle were coming toward her, their noses to the ground, their horns clanking together, and enveloped in a cloud of dust. At the name moment j her pony became frightened, tossed his head In the air, and dashed away across the plains. She uttered a scream and sank down. Yells arose from the cowboys. Thev mitn ninety !a9 the herd, trying to check the onward rush of the lead ers by firing revolvers In their faces. Betty crouched for a moment on the rock pile, directly In the path of the stamped; then, Impelled to make an effort to save herself, she rose and darted off across the country ahead of the herd. The cattle came thundering after heK Faster, faster, she sped, her bright skirts flying back In the wind. Loud er, nearer, came the frightened herd. The earth vibrated beneath her. She heard the angry roarings, almost felt their hot breath, and, weak from ex haustion. Minded by the dust, she stumbled and fell. Without strength to rise, she could only lie there and await the oncoming merciless hoofs that would soon trample out her life. At that moment, from out the cloud of dust, dashed a snorting broncho, maddened by the gashing spurs of his rider. A few leaps and he had reach ed the prostrate form, and, bending down from bis saddle, his strong arm lifted her from tho ground, hardly checking his speed, and tho sturdy pony sprang forward under the double weight. She was saved! A little later the cowboy reined In his pony at the Lleter gate, and for the first time Betty opened her eyes and looked into the face of her rescuer, Rolicrt Cation, a rising young cattle king nnd a graduate of an Pastern college. Tbe next day she received as a gift from Catton the pony that saved her life, nnd a little later Catton received from her the gift of her band Betty Is to teach school no more.

Those who suffer habitually from :ired and aehli),' f'-ct may be g'ad to mow that there arc, many ways In hlch tills condition of things may bu .ii-vinted. Reference Is not now made a the more scrimm troubles, such as lut foot, or to corns or bunions. It - ....f..eitv obvious why these pests ihoiild cause pain and trouble. , and whenever they occur they should at mce receive professional treatment. I hcse words are for those people who ,ay, "There is nothing the matter with ii v feet: I have not a corn, ana yei am In agony if 1 try to use my 'eet much." This condition of things may b .tv.n.ri.t aljout in several ways. It may be caused by a gouty condition f tlm svstem. and Id such a case ail rt lne or beer drinking should be stop-uwi- th diet should be simple and even frugal for a time, and several loses of bicarbonate of sodium may be taken -as much as an after-dinner ffee spoonful In water, says the Youth's Companion. Sometimes aching feet mean that the weight of the body is too much for l naturally slender foot and ankle, md then a shoe should be chosen with i view to the more complete support it these mcmlicrs. It need not be said '.hat rubbers should never be worn a moment longer than Is necessary, and uever in the house, as they cheek ven tilation. An aching foot is often a foot simply panting for breath. For the same reason patent leather shoe nay cause much distress. House shoes mould be easy and well ventilated, and It is well. If possible, to adopt tbe sandal for house wear. If a foot is aching or smarting badly iftor much walking or standing, great relief may be obtained by plunging it for a few minutes in hot water In which has been dissolved it handful of salt. Then, with the feet still Im mersed, let the water be gradually cooled until it Is quite cold. Tills treatment Is also greatly helped by a little massage by the hand under the water. Rebellious feet, especially If their owner desires to use them for much walking, are greatly benefited by tli use of the rubber heel on tiie want ing shoo, n device which relieves not Ally the feet, but the whole system. Finally, one should always bo care ful to wipe the feet very dry after the bath, and to insure this a d listing powder will be found a useful ad.. junct. TUTUILA AND ITS CHILDREN.
