The gov'- ner had often materially increased hla iMik Mcout by tboM flnaneUtl polBt. •ri. One ToeiOay night be dropped into Wiley's. It was sometimes a little Mixed thoro, nnd ho met almost Ininie- 4ttately a flirtatious young woman wbo, be found, was gtnml boWe- amid to a yoang couple in the sub- ttrbt. She prattled Interesting things WbUe they wore sitting out n dance. "I am dead tired tonight," she con- fided. "We had a 1 o'clock luncheon today -twenty-four covers laid, an' the tables one glisten of solid silver •n' ent glass. We are if when it comes to sollil silver." "You must have the coin," the gov'- ner remarked casnally. "Oh, not spocinl. It's weddin' pres- ents. They've both got rich folks, an' tboy giro tbem Jwt lends an' icsda of Mild tllTer." Tbe gov'ner regarded her with beam- ing interest. "A gauiy butterfly like you oughtn't to wear tbemaelTcs oat wltb work. What's your puab oot tbcre-7" be in- quired tenderly.

It was sur- prising; no one had got on to dead open and shut Job like that. Three o'eloclv the next iiioriiinj,' Toiind him padding gently up the still half country street. Just ahead of him were tbe dim outlines of a large lawn beavily shaded wltb trees. He vuultt'l tlu' fence and strolled leisurely up through the trees. "Not even a bioomin' dogr bc monniired pityingly. Ten minutes later be walked quietly Into tbe -bonse and found bis way Into tbe ball. He generally fotnffl the ball first and radiated from there. He liad hardly stepped in when a door on the upper floor opened sharply. "Nellie! Nellie!" called a frightened ,Tolce. "Tbere is something dreadful tbe matter with the baby, and the tel- ephone won't work: Nellie!" The Voice inso to a sliilik of terror. There was a rush of nui tiled footsteps throuKh the uppiT hall. The gov'ner listened sympathetically. "NeUle is at MuIbaU'i an' good until B o'clock," be murmured. TbtM was gn ioatant's silence; tben tbe Tolcc broke out afreeb In deeper terror: "Oh, she's dying-she's dying! Tbe goTtner .scratcbed bis bead dis tractedly. He beted t6 see folks in tronble. "Baby! Baby!" Tbe voice WM beart breaking. "Isn't tbere anybody to belp me?" An instant later be stood at tbe door of tbe lighted chamber. ' "Can I do anytblng for you, ma'aoiT' be Inquired politely. "I beard you as I was passin.' A woman knelt by tbe bed. She was very childlike looking. Sbe swept the bair back from ber face and regarded bim wltb terror stricken eyes. A baby lay on the bed. Little rings of dark hair curled damply on its pallid forehead. Its little face wus ghastly blue and pinched. Suddenly its bead drew back more violently ;ind Its limbs commenced to twltdi In long, convul- sive shudders. She clutched the gov'ner's arm and shook it fiercely. "Can't you do anything?" sbe de- manded. "I don't know," be said; tben bis face cleared. Heaven knows from wbat re- cess of his life he drew tbe Informa- tion, but he found it. "I know," be said briskly. "It's hot water. Go get some bot water in some- tbin' big enough to put tbe kid Uk" Sbe disappeared like an arrow loosed from a bow. The gov'ner slipped bis long, dexterous Angers soothingly along tbe clammy There was a sudden splash In the hall, and the Rlrl inotht r cnnie breath- lessly In with a small tin bathtuh. "Uet Its duds off!" be said authorita- tively. "Tbitf water ain't bot enough, but it'll have to pass now." Tbe poor little mother's Angers were tremhilnfr, so they were nearly useless.

"Throw a blanket or something over to keep in tbe beatr' be ennamanded. "Tken skin out, can't you, an' get some better water? Oet a move on you too." She had already gone. He tnelt by the chair, regarding tbe small face be was supporting above the blanket anxiously. It was less pinched now and lay lioiply on bis band, small and pathetle "Such a little kid." be said softly- "such a hloomln' little kldl" The long laslies slowly lifted, and the dark eyes gazed into his. Slowly the purpled lids closed agaiiv and a tremor shook its body. He swore softly. "Ain't she ever comln'? This layout will freeze the kid In a blasted niimite!" He gathered the Uiby up in tbe blan- ket and commenced to pace the floor, watching tbe tiny face wltb strained attention. The blue shadows deepened under Its eyes; the tiny waxen nose plnch(>d closer nnd closer; the small mouth seemed settling into a terrible calm. He swore as he walked. In tbat way he managed in a measure to relieve his feelings. "Is she dead?" asked a cboked, breathless voice at the door. The girl mother's face was gbostly, but the or.ly thing be saw waa the steaming kettle In ber band. "Naw." be snarled; but be was not so sure. He lowered tbe cblld catefully Into the water. "Now, Just keep pouring—a little, a little, to keep it warmin' up." Ten, fifteen, minutes passed. A faint white glimmer of life com- menced to tremble across tiie baby's face. The blue 8hado\\ s slowly faded, and the wax while noulrils tilled. Tbe gov'ner heaved a mighty sigh. "She's comin' tbrougb." be an- nonnced triumphantly. "Now tfve ne a dry blanket." He wraiipcd her warmly in it iind laid her, weary and sleepy, bpt palely pink, on tbe bed. Then he shook himself like a man coming out of a trance. He suddenly remembered Ills burglar's kit In the lower hall. I>awn was brcjikin^', to<j, nnd It might not be so easy getting back with it to town. The girl mother looked at bim wltb moist, grateful eyes. "You are so good." she said, with qnlverfng voice. "Baby would have died If you hadn't" Sbe hesitated. Some way she could not quite place bim. He did not look like a workingman. He was not a gentleman. She dimly remembered that he had sworn at her dreadfully. She went to the dresser and |iicked up a little sieei niesliecl i)nrse. In- side lay a ten dollar bill and a dollar. "Would you i9lnd," sbe said desper- ately. "If I gave you a dollar? I wish I could give you more, but it is all the money I have, and Kred won't be back until tbe last of the week." Her small, tremulous fingers clung to bis an Instant, and a tear splashed down on tbem. "I can't thank you. t can't tbanb you," she sobbed. The gov'ner looked nt her helplessly, at the $10 in the purse and the littio heap of diamonds over on the dresser. Tben he went down stairs, tbe dol- lar In bis band. Advlpf Proas SaiU, Of the distinguished authors of Per- <la none perbaps has enjoyed a wider popularity than Sndi, who lived In the thirteenth century. He was a great traveler and a close observer, and bis anecdotes and abort stories are de- scrtbei as being founded on his own experiences nnd observations. In "P(r- tilaii Poetry For English Ki n<li rs " Mr. S. Robinson quotes the following from Sadi's writings: A pupil said to his instructor. "What am I to do, for people Incommode me with the fre(iuency of their visits to such a degree that their converwition produces a great distraction of my. val- uable time?" The teacher replied: "To every one who- is poor lend snd from every one wbo Is rich borrow. Tbey will not come about yoti again." Another example embodies excellent advice: .\ silly fellow, having a pain In his eyes, went to a furrier and asked bin for s remedy. The farrier applied to bis eyes something which be would have given to an animal, and it blind- ed lilm. upon which tliey made an ai»- peal to tbe magistrate. The tuugisttate said: "This is no case for damages. It Is plain tbat this fellow Is an ass or he would not h.ive gone to a farrier." No man of enlightened understanding will commit weighty matters to one of mean ubilitles.

When Roscoe Conkllng first began the practice of law in New York, he lost a most Important murder case on which he had worke<l very banl not only for the fee, which be neetied bad- ly, but for a reputation which be liad to make. Despite his efforts his client was hanged. Later, when he present- ed his bill to the man's f.-iinily, flii y re- fused to i)ay It on tbe kiouihI that it was excessive. He took tlie bill to Charles O'Conor, the great criminal lawyer, asking bini to pass Judgment as to tbe equity of bis charges. O'Con- or scanned tbe account very closely and tlien. turning to Cnnkling, very gravely remarked. "Well, t'onkling. taking into consideration the eiionnoiis amount of energy and time you have devoted to tbis caae. tbe cbarges are reoaonabie, out see here, Conkllng. don't you thhik tbe man could have been banged for less money tbat that?"

One of tbe nuwt entertaining chapters la natural history is that wbibb relates to the many curious means that birds and other animals possess of deceiving the eyes of tlwir enemies. .Mr. K. San- dys, in writing of upland game binls, calls attention to a remarkable and t)eautiful Instance. When the ptar- migan puts on Its winter dress. It has a black tall. One might suppose that this would attract attention to the bird crouching on the snow. Init in fact It serves for concealtucnt. lOvery projec- tion on a snowlleld casts a dark shad- ow and that is what tbe tall of tbe mottonless ptarmigan looks like, tbe body of the bird rcsend)ling a mere hump on the wlilte liai-k;;round.

A woman knelt by tbe bed. She was very childlike looking. Sbe swept the bair back from ber face and regarded bim wltb terror stricken eyes.
A baby lay on the bed. Little rings of dark hair curled damply on its pallid
forehead. Its little face wus ghastly blue and pinched. Suddenly its bead drew back more violently ;ind Its limbs commenced to twltdi In long, convul- sive shudders.
She clutched the gov'ner's arm and shook it fiercely.
"Can't you do anything?" sbe de-

The long laslies slowly lifted, and the dark eyes gazed into his. Slowly the purpled lids closed agaiiv and a tremor shook its body. He swore softly. "Ain't she ever

He gathered the Uiby up in tbe blan-

Advlpf Proas SaiU,
Of the distinguished authors of Per- <la none perbaps has enjoyed a wider popularity than Sndi, who lived In the thirteenth century. He was a great traveler and a close observer, and bis
anecdotes and abort stories are de-
scrtbei as being founded on his own experiences nnd observations. In "P(r-
tilaii Poetry For English Ki n<li rs " Mr. S. Robinson quotes the following from Sadi's writings:
A pupil said to his instructor. "What am I to do, for people Incommode me with the fre(iuency of their visits to
such a degree that their converwition produces a great distraction of my. val-
uable time?" The teacher replied: "To every one
who- is poor lend snd from every one wbo Is rich borrow. Tbey will not come about yoti again."
Another example embodies excellent
advice: .\ silly fellow, having a pain In
his eyes, went to a furrier and asked bin for s remedy. The farrier applied
to bis eyes something which be would have given to an animal, and it blind-
ed lilm. upon which tliey made an ai»-
peal to tbe magistrate. The tuugisttate
said:
"This is no case for damages. It Is
plain tbat this fellow Is an ass or he would not h.ive gone to a farrier."

The P««riiilsr*n'ii Tall.
One of tbe nuwt entertaining chapters la natural history is that wbibb relates
to the many curious means that birds
and other animals possess of deceiving the eyes of tlwir enemies. .Mr. K. San-
dys, in writing of upland game binls,
calls attention to a remarkable and t)eautiful Instance. When the ptar-
migan puts on Its winter dress. It has a black tall. One might suppose that
this would attract attention to the bird
crouching on the snow. Init in fact It
serves for concealtucnt. lOvery projec-
tion on a snowlleld casts a dark shad- ow and that is what tbe tall of tbe mottonless ptarmigan looks like, tbe body of the bird rcsend)ling a mere hump on the wlilte liai-k;;round.

"Longer!" ejaculated ^e doctor in
determined tones.
"There, sir?"
"Ixinger!" thundered the great man. The tullor remonstrated. As a tech-
