RECREATION AND HEALTH. Both Can Ba Securad at the Indiana Mia* eral Spring*, Indiana LAke the young man In springtime, whose fancy "lightly turns to thoughts of love,” when summertime comes we all turn our thoughts to the consider ation of the Important question of where we shall go for rest, kvwreatloa and health. There are all kinds of health and pleasure resorts throughout this broad land of ours, some of them, unfortu nately, anything but what their names Imply, and apparently operated for no other purpose than to relieve the In valid and pleasure seeker, financial ly. So much so Is this the case that It Is Indeed gratifying to the one seek ing rest and recuperation from the cares of the business and social world, as well as the pain racked Invalid, who Is fortunate enough to discover a place where to use a popular expres sion, he "gets his money's worth." One of the most Interesting, pictur esque and delightful places In this country Is unquestionably the resort known as the Magno Mud and I/ithla Water Cure, located at Indiana Mine ral Springs, Indiana. Here come the overworked business man, the worn out devotee of society and the protes slonal man on the verge of nervous prostration, as well as the sufferer from rheumatism, kidney and skin diseases for which the baths are es pecially beneficial. The place is also largely patronized by those who only seek pleasure and recreation, Its loca , tlon making It particularly adapted for this purpose. There are many roman tic and beautiful spots and places of interest In the vicinity and It would be bard to find a section of country containing so many beautiful drives. The country Is very hilly, but the roads are all graveled and kept In good condition. This Is one of the things that makes the place especially attractive to those afflicted with rheu matism, as driving Is about the only outdoor pleasure one crippled with rheumatism can Indulge In. Some of the cures effected are really marvel ous and many who have gone to the Magno Mud Cure as a last resort have returned J>ome within a few weeks filled wfia renewed health and strength. The accommodations, service, table and attendance Is all that can be de sired and the rates very reasonable Indeed. The Springs Is under the able management of Major H. L. Kramer and a postal card Inquiry addressed to him will bring complete detailed Information as well as a copy of the "Mudlavia Magazine,” a unique and Interesting publication.

A dirty, untidy lodging in an Eng lish slum. An unkempt man, with all the signs of drink and dissipation upon his low face; such was the man and such was the surroundings of a man whom Alan Mackenzie used to visit In his beautiful estate of La Paz. His had never been an honest, attrac tive face; but now there had come into it a look of such devilish cunning and dissipation had given him such a bloated appearance, that it was evi dent he would soon reach the lowest depths of degradation. Alan Mackenzie’s denunciation of him had been his ruin. He had tried to retrieve himself, had speculated, and had floundered deeper into the mire. He made even Rio too hot for hiiy, and returned to England. Veron ica’s disappearance meant nothing to him. He would have got rid of her to the highest matrimonial bidder, that was all. She was not his daughter, as he had told her, only the orphan child of a man he had ruined, and whom he had brought up because her beautiful mother had been the one woman he had really cared for. But for Veronica herself he had not the slightest affection. She was too quiet, too affectionate. Her mother, who had jilted him, had been a co quette, and had thus won Hutchin son’s love and admiration. He was Just now sitting at the cor ner of a very dirty bed, with a glass of some spirits at his elbow. He looked pleased with himself. "So he married her!” he said, and burst out into rude laughter. “He married her and Bhe got drowned! Who would have thought it of them, both so inno cent! Now there is only one thing to be considered. Shall I let him marry the other, and bleed him afterwards, or shall I stop it now? Which will hurt him most, I wonder? 1 think he loves this girl. Shall I separate them?’’ He thought a moment. A look of cunning came over hig face. “No," he Bald, "they ghall get married. I will give him six weeks, and then he shall either bribe me or be exposed!" He rubbed his hands with glee and then pulled himself up again. “But he isn’t going to cheat me of my re venge!" he cried. “That would be nothing—a man goon forgets a wom an. After all. It will be the woman who suffers moat; but he—he has beg gared me! He has deprived me of my very life! He shall suffer for it. I shall never rest until my knife is driven into his very heart!" Hutchinson took a draught at his glass. “There's nothing left me but this,” he said—"nothing! And I have go much-carriages and horses, and fine living and everything going well. I should have been the richest man in Rio, the most powerful Englishman over there. There is no need for me to prompt my memory lest 1 forget; the wonder is that 1 did not come across him before. Let me see, he is such a soft, he will have told this girl all about it before. No, no! My best plan will be to wait until after the marriage—his second marriage! And Veronica? “Well, she does not know where to find either him or me. 1 can drop her for a week or two. She has more cun ning in her than I should have thought possible, for she never men tioned Mackenzie's name to me. 1 had no idea that he knew anything about her. It was the merest guess work; but what a chance! I haven't had a chance for more than four years. Perhaps the luck has turned, and the man who ruined me is des tined to put me on my legs again. But no quarterl Whatever ha does I shall still take my revenge!" Meanwhile, the object of all these plots and plana had gone home a lit tle disturbed. Alan Mackenzie could not look unmoved at the picture of the wreck of a man’s life. He kuew that ha counted for something in Hutchinson's ruin—nay, for a great deal. Hutchinson had never been a good man; but there had been a differ ence between the man who schemed at 1a Pa*, surrounded by every injury, and the dirty, drunken scoundrel he had met in the streets of l»ndon. Then, too, the mention of Veronica disturbed him. He had never thought so much about her as he had lately, perhaps because he had never under stood before whst love meant. Now. In his l«vf for Joyce, he began better to understand the poor dead girl's feelings He did not regret thst he had not loved her better; he rather re joiced that his best love should go to ' Joyce. And he knew thst he had al ways been perfectly kind to her, a* he wae to nioet women, but he knew uow what the separation from him must have meant to Veronica, and how, when she was drowning even, her one regret would be that she should see his face no more! ‘ he prcparatlone for the wedding weal on apace. Joyce was very popu lar among her frteada. and quite recog Dlied to be a pearl among womanhood Aid tieneral (irenvllie, her father, had a large acquaintance who were nil disposed to mahe much of the beanll ful, height girl Not n few men were eavtnua of Alans iu « There wae quite a ttwte stir Ms the rtrele of which Jafre wee the or name at It only eanted a fortnight la the wedding and Joyce and her betrothed were driving down Regent street together. It was the beginning of Hay, and they were to be married on the seven teenth. Both Joyce and Alan were willing to forego the details of the London season. They had taken a charming house in the country, where they Intended to spend the summer in honeymooning. If they liked the neighborhood, and it suited them, they thought of buying It, as a little country house where they could live when tired of London. But for this season it was to be their home as soon as they had returned from abroad. They were on their way to Liberty’s to buy hangings for their new abode when a block occurred In the traffic. Joyce and Alan were laughing at some foolish joke, and waiting for their hansom to be allowed to move on. A slight woman with a child in her arms attracted his atten tion. i ne cnua was about tnree, ana Alan could see that his head was cov ered with rich brown curls. He could not see the woman, but the pose of her head seemed familiar to him. In an instant the color forsook his face, and everything seemed to turn black before his eyes. When he had re gained control over himself the wom an was gone. Joyce turned quickly and saw the pallor on his face. "Alan,” she cried, in alarm, "my darling, what is it? Are you not well?” “A passing faintness,” he said. He could not tell her that this strange woman carrying a child, and whom of course he had never seen before, re minded him of Veronica, and it gave him a shock. “Are you often like this?” she asked, anxiously. "Oh, Alan, there Is only a fortnight more, and then 1 shall be able to come and take care of you always! I am sure you do too much,” she added, tenderly. He gripped her hand hard. It would be exquisite to have her with him al ways; but he was truthful above all things. “I have never been faint be fore,” he said. "Then it is the prospect of spending life with me that alarms you,” she said, gaily. Alan had regained his usual color and his usua^ manner. The cab stopped at the door of the shop, and he sprang out to help her down. They were both very much In earnest over their purchase. Joyce had exquiBlte taste, and Alan was deeply Interested In getting all that she wanted; but he was conscious all the time of a feeling of strain. Do what he would he could not get the woman's figure out of his head, ft was an utter absurdity that this strange woman with her child should have so upset him, and he hated him self for the thought that he must al ways keep something from Joyce. Although she knew all about it, yet he felt that he should not have liked to tell her why he turned faint when the hansom stopped. He did so yearn to be entirely one with the girl who had promised herself to him, and how could he with the shadow of the past over him? And all the time that he criticized Joyce’s hangings, and the colors and tints that would do well with her fair skin and light hair, he felt an undercurrent of restlessness. "It's only because my happiness has made me nervous. I feel like the old Greeks, who made libations to their gods when some great good fortune happened to them. If I could only give something—a thank-offering—for what I have got!” Joyce was too much In sympathy with him not to know that something was worrying him. They went to lunch at some quiet place, and when she had got her gloves off she put her hand in his and said: “Now. what is worrying you? I must know!" He looked at her, and, to her sur prise, his eyes were full of tears. “Joyce," he said, “I cannot quite tell you. because It is difficult to make you understand. When our cab stopped in Oxford street, and I turned faint, I saw a woman with u child who re minded me of poor dead Veronica. Mind you, I did not see her face, but something in her walk was like, and-" Joyce was as pale as Alan had been. "It has made you sad, Alan. You loved her more than you thought." “No, no!" he said, "It Is not that at ail, Joyce, but the sight of that strange woman made me realise how necessary you are to me. barling, it Is because 1 love you so that I cannot hear to think of losing you If I had to wait another two monlha instead of two weeks I think I should go mad!" lie pushed his hair from his brow and leant his head ua his htnd Joyce eaw that he was overdone and nerv ous. and that she must brace him up a little hhe recognised, with a gush of thauhfaiaeea to Ood. that here was a loan w«m» loved her as few m»n love women, and that the poor dawd girt could never have had hie heart.

And after lunch they sat up In one of the balconies and watched the boats go down the grimy but sunlit bosom of Mother Thames, for the hotel looked out upon the river. And Alan smoked, and they made plans for the future. Where they would go, and what they would do, and what they would see, together, to gether, together always. And they talked of the folly of married men and women who go their separate ways, not recognising the divinely blessed link between husband and wife. And when they rose to go they knew that they were nearer to each other than they had ever been before. It had been a golden afternoon, although now the sun had gone from the river, and the mist was rising a little. Still, as Joyce said, "No mist can blot the sun out forever.” She meant it as an alle gory, and as an allegory Alan under Mtnori it And then they drove home again to gether, and that evening Alan spent quietly, doing a little work which was necessary, seeing that he had spent a good many hours doing nothing but making love to Joyce. And on the morrow he had forgotten the strange turn that the woman had given him. Nothing happened during the next fortnight, which went all too slowly for him, until his wedding day. On the contrary, each day his heart be came lighter, and he looked forward each day to that which would see the consummation of his dearest desires, A*d so the wedding day came, and Alan forgot everything hut that the sweetest woman in the world was go ing to belong to him from that day forward forevermore. His responses rang out clear and fluent, as did hers. Ho forgot Hutchinson and Hutchin son's enigmatic prophecy—that there might be a strange wedding guest— though he could not have known that Hutchinson had changed his mind, and that there would be no strange wed ding guest that day. He forgot everything, save that the time was coming nearer and nearer when the carriage door would be closed behind him and Joyce, and he would whisk her off, his own dear bride. And it Is no exaggeration to say that the sun had never shone on two happier people than Alan and Joyce MacKen zie. (To be continued.) Could Not lie Foaled. Miss Elizabeth Alden Curtis, the talented niece of United States Attor ney General Griggs, and one of the latest versifiers of the Rubaiyat, has a penchant for scientific pursuits, and takes great pleasure In mountain climbing, forest searching and geolo gizing, says the Philadelphia Post. f>ast summer, while rusticating at Lake George, she went walking with a party of friends, chiefly college men and women, and came across some of the beautiful minerals which abound in that district. They picked out a number of specimens which they car ried back to the hotel. Here they ex hibited their treasure-trove to the other guests, more especially a piece of rose quartz, in which were many flakes of plumbago. Miss Curtis, after explaining, left the veranda, giving the quartz to a benevolent looking, spectacled old lady. She had scarcely departed when the latter, who had been scratching the specimen with her scissors, broke out: “That girl is either fooling us or else she Is crazy. Plumbago, indeed!
