I \ THE HEART or THINGS

HE had just returned from the
crowded concert hall , where
she had enjoyed a veritable
triumph. Her face was flushed and
emiling , and she still held In her hands
the great bouquet of roses her favor
ite flower which had been given her
as she left the platform. She was re
called to her surroundings by the voice
of her maid , Fanchion.
"There is a telegram for madarae on
. the table , " she said. Denlse picked it
up ; It was addressed to "Mrs. Fielden , "
which was unusual. She was known
to the London world and her friends as
" * "Madame Elena. " She opened it
eharply. It was brief and to the point.
"I think it Is right to let you know
that the boy is seriously ill.
"MICHAEL. "
Unconsciously she crushed the mes
sage in her hand , and her thoughts
flew to the Lincolnshire village where
Jt had been written.
"Bring me an 'A , B , C , ' and pack a
bag. I am going into .the country. "
"I wonder is he is really very ill ? "
. she pondered , as she sat In the train.
"I think Michael would scarcely have
aent for me unless he were. The meetIng -
Ing will be awkward and uncomfortable
for him as for me. Poor little Michael ,
what a name to give a child ! I won
der what he Is like now ? He was not
a pretty or Interesting child. 1 remem
ber he was always crying. "
After a drive of nearly an hour she
recognized a familiar gateway ; she re
membered the old coat-of-arms cut in
the stonework , though she could not
see it now , with the motto , "I live ! I
die ! "
"Master is upstairs , " old Hannah said
distantly , in reply to Deuise's greeting.
"I will go up at once if I may , " and
' before Hannah could raise any objec
tion she was half way up the stairs.
What a great room It was ! And how
solitary those two figures looked in
Itl"I
"I am sorry to trouble you , " the man
said , getting up as she moved. "I am
afraid you have had a long , tired jour
ney ; but I thought you ought to know. "
"Oh ; you poor little soul ! " she cried , a
sob in her voice , and the next moment
her arms were over the bed , and the
little figure was gathered to her breast ,
where she crooued over it , calling him
her baby , her little Michael , who she
bad treated so badly , reproaching her
self and showering soft kisses on the
wan face in the same breath.
"He is very weak ; you must not ex
cite him , " a warning voice said.
"I shall not hurt him , " she said , hold-
bag the boy close to her breast. "See ,
he is already more content. " The little
face certainly looked less tired and
'
troubled , and one wasted arm had gone
up arouud her neck , while he made him
self at home us a matter of course in
those unknown arms.
"Has he been long like this ? " she
asked. "You ought to have told me
before. "
"He was never strong , as you may
remember , " he answered coldly. "He
does not take after my family ; he pines
for warmth and sunshine , as you did.
I must remind you that you have never
given me reason to think you took any
particular interest in him. I was not
at all certain you would come now. ' "
"Not come ! " she exclaimed. Then she
remembered. "I beg your pardon , " she
said humbly ; "you are quite right. It
is I who am to blame I who am in
the wrong. But but , " her voice grow
ing husky , " 1 did not know he wanted
hie so badly. I was so young when I
went away I am not very old now
and I did not understand many things.
Perhaps if you had reasoned with me
if you had pointed out "
"Do you think I wanted a captive
instead of a wife ? " he asked harshly.
"I saw you fretted and pined like a
caged creature , I saw the hunted look in
your eyes ; I knew you would wear your
life out iu a little while if it went on. "
"It was so dull so dreary , " she mur
mured , "and nobody wanted me , not
even ypu , I think , after a little while. I
- ought not to have married. "
"No doubt it was a mistake , but in
justice I must say that that was more
my fault than yours. I was years old
er and I took advantage of your youth
and ignorance to fasten a bond on you
of which you did not understand the
Import. No doubt you knew yourself
best You have the life that suits you ;
you were free to go your own way. "
"As you yours. "
"As I mine. " something in the voice
made Denise more uneasily. For six
years the man and the child had lived
here together ; her husband , her child.
For six years she had nearly forgotten
both ; not. quite , though she had tried
to do so. The man and the child had
been growing old together without
love or happiness while she had laugh
ed and sung. There was nothing young
in the house not even the little form
she held in her arms.
Denise was sitting alone one evening
In the faded drawing room when her
husband came in. As a rule she saw
very little of him ; they seemed to avoid
each other by tacit consent
"There is. something I wish to say to
you if you are at leisure , " he began.
"I am quite at your service , " she an
swered. "Little Michael Is in bed and
asleep , and I have nothing to do. "
"It Is about him I wish to speak , "
he sald ; as be sat down. "He Is almost
well again now. "
"He Is very delteSJte still , " she said
quickly. "He needs a great deal of care
he could not stand much. " Could he
mean that they wanted her no longer ?
she asked herself , with a thrill of fear.
"As you say , he needs a great deal of
care , " he answered slowly. "He also
needs more comfort and different sur
roundings to what I can give him. I
have wondered I have wondered , " he
repeated , "If you would like to take
him with you when you go ? "
"Like to take him ! " she echoed , her
face lighting up with joy. "Need you
ask me ? "
"No , perhaps not. I thought that
you seemed attached to him. "
"Attached ? " she repeated again , with
a laugh. "I love him with all my heart.
I couldn't bear to be parted from him
now. But don't you mind ? " looking at
him with inward resentment at his in
difference. "Won't you be very lonely
without him ? "
"It will be best for the child to be
with you for a time at least , I think , as
you are willing to have him. As you
say , he is not strong enough to stand
any shock , and he would miss you. I
suppose your engagements will necessi
tate your returning to town soon. "
"Yes. I ought to have gone before , "
flushing at his evident anxiety to get
rid of her. "We will go as soon as the
doctor says he can travel. " Then as
he was leaving the room , "I I should
like to thank you very much for trust
ing me for letting me have him. "
"There is no need. I have been think
ing it over and ir seemed best for the
boy , " he answered , as he closed the
door.
"O course , there would be no thought
of me in it , " she said to herself bitter
ly. "I wonder why he hates me so
much now ? Once upon a time , " the
rose color in her cheeks growing deeper.
"I am sure he cared for me more than
a little in his curious restrained way. "
It was still early when she went up
stairs to bed , but she was tired of her
own company. As she lit the candles
the boy opened his eyes he slept in
a little bed in her room now and call
ed to her.
"I am not a bit sleepy. Come and
talk to me , mother , " he said. She sat
down In the low chair and laid her
head on his pillow , as he liked to have
her.
"I've got something to tell you , sweet
heart , " she said , tucking one of his
hands under her cheek. "What do you
think has happened ? You are to come
with me to my mother's home. How
will you like that ? "
A wiser and more prudent mother
would have hesitated to excite the
child at that hour , but Denise was a
creature of impulse.
"Go away with you and see all the
beautiful things you have told me
about ? Do j'ou re-ally mean it , mother ?
How lovely ! " springing up in bed with
shining eyes. "And is father coming ,
too ? "
"Father does not want to come , dar
ling. " The childish face grew pale.
"It will be dull for father all alone
here , " he said seriously. "You ask him
to come , mother ; he'll come for you. "
"Not for me for me perhaps least
of all , " she murmured , forgetting that
she was talking to a child ; but little
Michael was Aviser than his years.
"Go , now , mother , " he said , coax-
ingly. "Try * * * Wait. I'll tell you
a secret ; it can't be wrong to tell you.
Father keeps a picture of you locked
up , and I saw him looking at it one
night , and and , " in an awed whisper ,
"he kissed it before he put it away.
People must love a person very much to
kiss their picture , mustn't they , moth
er ? " Kisses had been rare luxuries in
his life.
"Kissed my picture ? Are you sure ,
little Michael ? " The child nodded ,
watching her intensely. Denise thought
of how she was going to make the desolate
elate home more desolate , and the tears
rushed to her eyes.
"I'll try , my sonny I'll try for your
sake , " she cried , and she went from the
room. Her heart was beating fast with
fear and excitement as she hurried
down the stairs before her courage fail
ed her. What if he should be angry ;
what if he should repulse her ? She
shivered at the thought.
She softly opened the library door ,
where he was in the habit of sitting at
night. A lamp was burning dimly on
the table in the center of the room , and
Its light fell on the bowed head of a
man ; some books and papers had been
overturned as he threw out his arms
and mutely emphasized that aspect of
despair. Denise forgot her fears.
"Michael ! " she cried hi a sobbing
voice , her arms round his neck , her
cheek to his "Michael ! I've been a
bad wife , but I want to be a better
one. * Will you take me back ? "
He looked up , and she saw that his
eyes were wet.
"Is that you , " he said heavily.
"What is it what has happened ? "
"Nothing , " softly , "except that I have
found out that I want you. We both
want you , little Michael and I. You
won't send us away or you will come ,
too ? "
"Want me you ? " he said In a husky
whisper. "Is It really true , Denise ? "
Ho held her in his arms as one holds
something very precious that one is
afraid to touch. "I had almost given up
praying and hoping. " The King.

EEKSCSZSE
RIFLING GREAT MAN'S MAIL.
Snobbishness and News Enterprise
of BoswelL
Samuel Johnson has been called "the
brightest ornament of the eighteenth
century , " but without the fussy , ob
trusive but superlative talent of Bos-
well , the actual life of Johnson would
never have been revealed to us. Bos-
well was in deadly earnest He took
Infinite pains to collect material at all
times , In all places , from all men. The
author of "The Memoirs of Thomas
Holcroft" has recorded a story of Mr.
Mauritius Lowe , a painter and a prot
ege of Johnson , which shows Boswell's
"nose for news , " and his snobbishness
as well. Lowe had requested Johnson
to write him a letter , which Johnson
did , and Boswell came in while it was
writing ; his attention was immediate
ly fixed. Lowe took the letter , retired ,
and was followed by Boswell :
"Nothing , " said Lowe , "could sur
prise me more. Till that moment he
had so entirely overlooked me that I
did not imagine he knew there was
such a creature in existence , and he
now accosted me with the most over
strained and insinuating compliments
possible.
" 'How do you do , Mr. Lowe ? I hope
you are well , Mr. Lowe ? Pardon my
freedom , Mr. Lowe , but I think I saw
my dear friend Dr. Johnson writing
a letter for you. '
" 'Yes , sir. '
" 'I hope you will not think me rude ,
but if It would not be too great a favor
you would infinitely oblige me if you
would just let me have a sight of it
Anything from that hand , you know ,
is so inestimable. '
" 'Sir , it is on my own private affairs
but ' .
" 'I would not pry into a person's
affairs , my dear Mr. Lowe , by any
means. I am sure you would not ac
cuse me of such a thing , only , if it
were no particular secret '
" 'Sir , you are welcome to read the
letter. '
" 'I thank you , my dear Mr. Lowe ,
You are very obliging. I take it ex
ceedingly kind. '
"Having read , Boswell went on : 'It
is nothing , I believe , Mr. Lowe , that
you would be ashamed of '
" 'Certainly not'
"Why , then , my dear sir , if you
would do me another favor you would
make the obligation eternal. If you
would but step to Peele's coffee house
with me and just suffer me to take a
copy of it , I would do anything in my
power to oblige you. ' "
Lowe was so overcome by this sud
den familiarity and condescencion , ac
companied by bows and grimaces , that
he had no power to refuse. They went
to the coffee house. His letter was
presently transcribed , and as soon as
he had put his document In his pock
et Mr. Boswell walked away as erect
and proud as half an hour before.
"I ever after was unnoticed , " says
Lowe. "Nay , I am not certain , " he
adds , sarcastically , "whether the
Scotchman did not leave me , poor as
he knew I was , to pay for my own
coffee. "
Structural Changes in Man.
Recent researches have furnished
some startling facts regarding changes
which man is at present undergoing
physically. It is believed that man
was formerly endowed with more teeth
than he now possesses. Abundant evi
dence exists that ages and ages ago hu
man teeth were used as weapons of de
fense. The practice of eating our food
cooked and the disuse of teeth as weap
ons are said to be responsible for the
degeneration that is going on. In an
cient times a short-sighted soldier or
hunter was almost an impossibility ; to
day a whole nation is afflicted with de
fective vision. It is almost certain
that man once possessed a third eye ,
by means of which he was enabled to
see above his head. The human eyes
formerly regarded the world from the
two sides of the head. They are even
now gradually shifting to a more for
ward position. In the dim past the ear
flap was of great service in ascertain
ing the direction of sounds , and oper
ated largely in the play of the fea
tures. But the muscles of the ear
have fallen into disuse , for the fear
of surprise by enemies no longer ex
ists. Again , our sense of smell is
markedly inferior to that of savages.
That it Is still decreasing is evideuc-
ed by observations of the olfactory
organ.
The Parental Catfish.
"The catfish , " said an angler , "Is
the only fish I know that seems to
have any affection for its young. Oth
er fish disregard their young altogeth
er will even eat them at times but
not so with the 'catty. ' The first time
I discovered this good trait was last
summer. I was angling in a mill dam ,
and in the clear water I saw a host
of little catfish , accompanied by two
adults. The adults husband and wife ,
no doubt watched over the babies
with anxious care. They darted in
this direction and in that , keeping the
coast clear , and if a stranger fish approached
preached they ruffled up and fought
it off like lions. They did a thing that
indicated great intelligence in them
when they saw me. Happening to
glance up and catch my eye , they
feared that I meant mischief , and in
stantly they sank down to the bottom
and thrashed the mud about with
their tails , thus creating an opaque
cloud wherein their young and they
were invisible. Since that time I have
often seen catfish with their young.
There have been two adults In each
case to look after the small fry , and
In the presence of some great danger
the opaque cloud of mud has always
been drawn about the brood. " Phila
delphia Record.
When you hear praise of a man you
dislike , do you not hate him all the
more cordially ? .

VALUE OF BABY'S CRY.
It Helps to Make a Healthy Pair of
lames.
The early cry , which is painfully try
ing to some young mothers , especially
to a nervous one , becomes less distress
ing if she stops to think that the lungs ,
never having been used , need exercise
in order to make them strong. For tht
first three months the infant is tot
weak , even with a fair amount of cry
Ing , to develop the lungs more that
one-third their normal capacity , and
that these organs cannot be considerec
perfect until they are inflated to theli
utmost is enough to make her toleran
of a fair allowance of crying. A yeai
of simple breathing would not accom
plish as much toward developing the
lungs as a moderate amount of crying
each day for a month. It is the deep
inhalation , such as accompanies a good
cry , which alone can make the lungs
strong. Healthful infants cry normal
ly , and they should be allowed to dc
so a portion of each day. When the
cry is whining or continuous it is usu
ally caused by overindulgence of some
kind , or by mistakes , such as handling
the baby , when he is more comfortable
left alone. Too much entertaining
causes nervousness and cold extremi
ties , which make necessary too manj
wraps or too hot a room ; this results in
discomfort and weakness and lack of
fresh air. Sleeping in a bed with oldei
persons is bad for a baby ; it draws
upon the vitality. Indigestion is nevei
natural ; it is caused by overfeeding or
improper feeding. Harper's Bazar.
