Did you ever see a sickly
baby with dimples ? or a heal

A -thin baby is always deli
cate. Nobody worries about
a plump one.
If you can get your baby
plump, he is almost sure to
be well. If you can get him
well, he is almost sure to be
plump.
The way to do both there

Yet like the brave old oak, -whoso head
Bows low to every blast
That sweeps with chilling shriek amid
Its mighty branches vast;
Though lov it sways with pliant graco,
Yet, whea the storm is o'er.

Ing to gxiiu bomc benefit from your
umbrella." ho remarked. as ho
chanced to meet ber on tho church
steps nf tor service, "I would ask lo
walk homo with you. I didn't ex
pect rain when I left homo, so 1 am
unprepared. '
However." came her clear reply,
just arch enough to bo fascinating
and just tender enough to be frank.
If you'll carry my umbrella and let
mc turn my eucrgies to keeping thy
dross caught up outof the mud I'll be
very thankful to you."
They had walked strangely enough,
half way homo in almost complete
silence, wlien a man and a woman
passed them, like them under one
umbre la, but. unlike them. the
woman was held Miugly close to tho
man's side as she clung to his arm.
It was a picture of that open freedom
which so undeniably marks a con
genial man and wife, whoso com
pan'onslup has ripened into frank
trust
As lliey passed Robert Courtright
said, hair thoughtfully, perhaps:
'Ihey arc sensible. If two aro
trying to ute one umbrell.1, they aro
surely to be commended if they strive
to la-e up as little room as possible.
Kvon if it be noon, won't you take
my arm? '
Hut they aro plainly not such
such strangers as we." 6ho returned,
conscious that both were treauing on
daugcrous ground.
Are we strangers?" he asked.
ijUickiy. turning his e3-es search ingly j
on her.
The pretty face grew a trifle palo
against its light Drown hair. A
lump seemed to climb to her throat
but she returned, bravely: Yes
that is we'll always bo strangers
compared with them."
Hie tried lo laugh it away, but it '
would hu'.c been difficult to tell I
which pair of lips quivered tho more 1
or which pair of eyes swam in the ,
deepest mist as tho two started on. I
both silent, both sad. both realizing
that a little tragedy had occurrod in
that brief instant under that dripping
umbrella on tho noon boulevard.
Fight years went by and found
Gabriel Yaughno alore in tho world,
with necessity for keeping up a life
in which all interest and all energy
were dead. She had at iasl arisen
from a tedious illness, and tho nurso
herself scarcely recognized tho tall,
pale, sad-faced woman with the
short, dark curls as tho bright-eyed,
light-haired girl of six months be
fore. Gabriel had one th.ng dear to
her. and only one and that was a
memory. And some of our dcare&t
memories are the crudest part of our
lives. hen finally she stood be
fore a mirror and realized that that
changed creature was herself, a
mighty resolve filled her she would
go to the source of that memory.
bho knew whero ho was. she knew
that he had married three years after
that bitter morning in tho rain and
had married a wealthy wifo. That
wa- tho rea-on that sho had thrust
him back from her long ago. just be
cause of Irs poverty. Mot that t
would pain her. a thousand times uo!
llacn t she cried out night after night
since that starvation with him would
bo only bliss? Hut she had known
his ambitions and his capabi ities;
knew his dreams of success and sho
reali ed his abil.ty to '.urn the dreams
lo realities. She was poor. Would
she permit herself lo Lang a millstone
about his neck? Would sho hold
him always in the depths of poverty
by being his wife and the mother of
his needy children? Xo sho would
hurt his heart before she would ruin
his life.
Time had proved that she had been
right. His wife was a beautiful wo
man, and her wealth had opened
boundless opportunities to him. He
had risen she had known that he
would. But now that sho scarcely
was able to know herself, she would
venture into his world and see for
herself how happy and proud and
prosperous he was.
So. having spent all but her last
bill for her t'eket she stepped into
Philadelphia otic spring evening,
steeling hr heart to what might fol
low. The next evening she had
walked past his great rich house and
was starting back when a sudden
shower burst unexpectedly upon her.
bho gathered up her skirts in that
peculiar way so characteristic of a
damty woman, and was hurrying
along when all at once she was con
scious of a sharp, childish cry at her
side. Turning she beheld a tall sad
faced man trying to quiet a fretful
baby of about throo years, which held
out its dimpled hands lo her and
cried:
Mamma! Mamma!'
Tho gentleman strove to tdop it
and Gabriel started on. But sharp
and piercing came the "Mam-ma!"
snd hor heart bade her linger.
1 or the first time the man spoko to
her. Jf5
I must beg your pardon, madam.
His mother has just died, and some
thing about you seems to have recalled
her to him.
Gabriel's heart softened at once.
Going straight up she took the tiny,
outstretched hands iu her own and
murmured: Poor, motherless little
one."
The father held out his umbrella
over her and for tho first time she
looked at him the face was Robert's!
Sho was glad for the excuse of turn
ing to baby again and murmuring
something unintelligible.
However, ho had not recognized
her; so she drew all her strength to
her assistance and succeeded in hiding
her emotion.
If you will walk under my um
brella. as I am going your way for
this square, you can keep dry. And.
too. I fear baby won't liko to part
There was no easy way to retreat:
it would have been absurd to scud off
in a changed direction through the
pelting rain, so she continued talking
hurriedly to the child. As they
reached the foot of tho broad stone
steps sho stopped. '-I can not thank
you enough for having calmed Leslie."
His nurse left this morning ad
he will not be consoled by any of the
other servants. So I finally told Mrs.
Clarke, the housekeeper, that 1 would
try him for a walk? But will you not
lake tho umbrella? It will" be a
shame to expose yourself to such, a
deluge. " '
She gracefully declined all thanks
and such kind offers and quickly
glided off, a tall black-robed figure
daring the watery drops. But a per
fect shriek from baby aiose when ho
found himself deserted in this fashion,
and each succeeding cry became
louder and more distressing. Again
Gabriel could not go. Again she
came baek to him. "
Will you please come into tho
house with him? Mrs. Clark may
there be better able to get him away
than I."
So Gabriel carrying the child, en
tered his house, unknown, but wel
come even then.
Leslie was not to bo easily decoivod.
and all the ruses were seen through
immediately by h's caierul, big blue
eyfis.
We must get a nurse maid this
very night " declared Mrs. Clarke as
she ondeavored in her practical cold
hearted way to inveigle the young
lord from his new mamma."
But," groaned Mr. Courtright
"where can ono get one which he can
trust on such short notice?''
A bold idea entered GubrioVs head.
She tried three or four times to speak,
and her voice failed. Finally 6he
choked hack tho lump in h3r throat
and said:
Would it be presumptuous for me
to offer njyself? I can show you ex
cellent references and I am now
looking for some such position."
You a nursemaid?" exclaimed Mr.
Courtright in amazement- Then, a
moment later, he would have given
much to have it back unsaid; her
plain black gown was darned at the
elbows It was merely her way of
wearing it that gave her tho appear
ance of a woman of long founded
culture and delicacy.
Two years went by. in which Miss
j Yarney. as she was now known, un
discovered, was loved by and loved in
return Mr. Courti'ight's two children,
it wa's one evening in March", just bo-
I fore dusk, when she had left Leslie
upstairs asleep and had just como
1 down lo the drawing room witu
Mabel to stay with the child till her
father came to dinner.
He was Into and Mabel had waO
dcred off to a back parlor, thus leav-
' log Gabriel alone in the dimly lighted
room whoa Mr. 'Courtright finally en
tered. I shall call Mabel" she began,
starting from hor station by the win
dow. Xo, Miss Yarney; stay. I have
something to say td you. You re
member how moved I was the first
time 1 cslic called yon -mamma?
You thought then, no doubt that it
was becauso of tho memory of my
wife. Partly so. but mostly becauso
as I looked up at you I thought for
an instant that you were tho woman
who who might have been "His
mother if the fates' had been kinder.
Do yoii know. Miss Yarney. that you
often remind mo cruelly of a woman
I loved bolter than tho world?"
Your wife?" sho was glad that it
was dark enough lo hido the trembl
ing of her lips.
"So, not my wife. I loved Marie
ono way; sho was tender and true to
ma But tho woman that I roally
lo.cd ." Then after a short pause,
he went on: "But what I mean to
say to you is this: I have learned to
love you a thousand times belter than
Maria and sometimes. I almost think.,
as much as 1 loved tho dearest ona
Can you, will you hate me if I ask
you thus to bo Leslie's mamma in
truth as well as m word?"
Slowly came tho roplj: "But you
lovo the first woman best of all even
yet?"
Yea 1 do. But as I saul I often
almost think that you aro sho when I
stop to realize how 1 feel toward you.
Moment after moment went by.
Tho shadows camo closer and the rim
of lighter clouds near the west hori
zon grow narrower. At last sho said:
I too. loved in tho long ago. But'I
never can in any way love another
man. But "
-Miss Yarney." ho broke in.
No. let mo finish." sho continued.
"Take an umbrella ana go down to
the east gata Do not ask a question,
but take the umbrella ana wait
there."'
Then sho sped upstairs. Ho was
dazed; maybe that was the reason
that he, as iu a dream, did as she had
bid and took his station down by tho
rustic gala whero tho softly falling
rain dripped through the leaves onto
the gravel of the walk.
Suddenly he was conscious of a rus
tle at his sida and. turning, there
stood a tall girl with a loving smile
above the samo dark collar, with a
sweet face shining abovo the same
dark bonnet remembered so well from
long ago. and an old-timo voice mur
mured: "Robert"
Gabriel?" he gasped.
"Yea "' sho laughed. "Gabriel and
your nursemaid in ona"
When they walked up to the house
that night sho clung lovingly to his
arm under the narrow umbrella, for
they wero strangers no longer. Chi'

Itcady Por The Attack.
A young Malay officer on the
coast of India, was ono night return
ing from inspecting an outpost when
he began to suspect that a tiger was
following him. It was dangerous to
proceed, as any miniito might, bring
an attack in the rear, and so he
paused, and made what preparation
he could for tho encounter. He had
a swerd at his sido and a croese in
his belt, a weapon resembling a
dagger.
Having scraped away tlic earth to
give himself a firm footing, ho knelt
on one knee and kept a sharp look
out knowing tho beast was near.
Soon ho perceived the animal's
glittering oyea and know it must bo

The moment of suspense was a

Early one morning the mate was

Tho captain was called and in a
trice bounded on deck, where, apply

long look at the stranger who hod
pushed so suddenly out of the early

She was too far distant to speak,
but in obedience to a gesture from tho

the boys were called aft to man tho

parti-colored bits of bunting, glasses

What news of the American war?
The flash of foam cast up by the
huge propeller greeted our straining
vision. The great steamer glided on

yearning to hear news from homo.
With a passionato exclamation of
disappointment tho captain closed the
Joints of his long glass with a savage
snap, sayfng. as he turned away, "He
hasn't our 'code. It's no use."
Look at that!" suddenly exclaimed
J be mate, pointing. "What is he go

At that moment tho rich full tones

Would prodece a sensation akin to that ex
perienced by the unhappy individual who feels
th chili which ushers in an attack of fever and
ague- and bilious remittent. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, in such an emergency, is
what is wanted at onco to scotch the enemy
which seems to penetrate the very marrow of
the bonesalternately freezing, roastlnj and
deluding the sufferer with perspiration. This
grand anti-febrile specific ia the surest medic
inal safeguard that an emigrant to tho far
AVcst can take with him. Malaria complaints
arc rife in all regions newly cleared of timber,
in mining camps and in low lying river bottoms
where the streams periodically overflow their
banks. Immunity from malaria is. however,
obtained from the protectee agent named,
which is also a remedy for indigestion, rheu
matic and kidney ailments, liver complaint,
constipaUon and debility.

During and just after the Crimean
war a popular account of that unfortunate-
struggle was published in
monthly parts, illustrated with steel
engavings. I happened to be in a
printing office where one of the serials
was manufactured, and after I had
been watching the working off of a
steel plate the foreman gave me one
of the impressions. Returning home
by omnibus I found myself seated op
posite to a soldier and put the engrav
ing into his bands.
He surveyed it with a critical eye,
frowned and exclaimed: What in
the world aro the men in the trenches
doing with their knapsacks on? I
never heard of such a thing in all my
life. Xow, here was a man speaking
on a subject with full knowledge and
with crushing criticism. Tho oniy
idea the artist had of a soldier was a
man with a knapsack on his back and
a musket in his hand. He had never
seen soldiers in the trenches, and so ho

Shall Women Carve.
An exchange pleasantly declares that
the carving knife property belong to
women and that man is aa much out of
place in wielding it as he would be ia
dispensing' the tea and coiteo. Thus
we see the tendency of modern times
is to allow women more and more JAti-.
tude and to enable her to usurp man's
place as the head of the household.
In one respect she is fitted to take this
place. That is, in caring for tho health
of the family. This is her particular
province. When the children get sick,
its the mother who ministers to their
wants, who watches over their bed
sido and relieves them. Keid's Ger
man Cough and Kidney Cure is tho
n'cht hand asststant of the mother
With this at hand she can instantly
relievo any case of croup, fche cam
mitigate the attacks of whooping
cough, sho can cure sore throat and.
thus prevent diphtheria. This creat
remedy contains no poison and it can
be given without the slijrhteat danger
or fear of evil results afterwards. Get
it of any dealer. Tho small bottles aro
25 cents, the large onts are 50 cents.
