ANOTIIEK MAN. i. It wns a Mustering wot. night, with gray fky aliorc ami uniilily ronrts Underfoot. The wind ton? unsteadily between the tree and out across tlio tquare, n cold, damp wind briting with It heavy splashe of rain. Under one of tlio trees In the squ.'iro Olose against the miliums Blood a man and a girl. . The girl looked poor and ill-clnd, with a white, thin faeo that had in It a look almost of desperation. The mnn was tall and strong and well dressed, with an eager, keen-cut fare, and he held out his hands as he looked into the girl's eyes. "If you only would. Itessie," he cried. "I'm well o(T, I could take care of you. and I would you know that. I'd give you my life." flessle drew away, hut she smiled up at him. "Yes, I know, Tom." (the said softly, "and if I hadn't promised (Jeorge " Tom took a sudden step forward. "Is It only because you promised?" be cried eagerly, "la It only because you think it's your duty to go to George that you won;t marry me? My goodness, Hesslo, you're not goini: to marry him just because you said you would, are you?" "No. no, but I must go oui to him," he said. "He wants me. If I'd had the money I should have started two months ago. I promised him I'd fro fllrnctly he sent for nie. Oh, It seems anch a long time ago, Tom, since he went. It's a year, but it seems much longor. and father hadn't died then, and and " Tom Stand lsh looked down at her. A year ago she had not been the poor girl she was now. In twelve short months muny changes bad taken place. She had become poor, he had frown rich. Her father waH dead, and George Fleming, to whom she bad been engaged, was out In Aus tralia trying to make a living- so that she could go out to him. Eighteen months before Tom Stand lh and (Jeorge Fleming had both been In love with Itessie Leigh. In thoee days her father was supposed to lie a rich man, and somehow, while Tom hesitated at the thought of pro posing to her while he was poor, George had stepped In and won, much against her father's wish. . A few months later he had gone out to Aus tralia, and a Bhort time after that Bessie's father died suddenly, leaving her, not rich, as every one expected, but absolutely and terribly poor. Khe would have been utterly adrift if It had not been for Tom Standish, and he managed somehow to get for her a post as nursery governess to some people he knew. If it. had not been for that she might have starved. She had been in the situation for two months it was only three since her father died and her sole thought bow waa to get out to Australia to George, who had begged her to go to him aa soon as she could. That letter was the last she had re ceived from him. It was a long let ter, full of what he was going to do, and somehow it filled Tom Ktondliih with distrust "You haven't heard .again, I .sup pose?" he asked. Bessie II inched a little. "No," she said; "I havent hoard, but I've written telling him what boat I am going by, and and the date nd all about It, ho that I shall prob ably got a letter In a day or two. There's a mall on Wednesday." "But supposing you don't hear?" Tom cried abruptly. Bessie lifted her head bravely. "I shall go whether-1 hear or not," ?ihft said steadily. Tom looked down at her hungrily. :t only she had given such faith to llm. If only he had been the rnfln who wan waiting for her out in Aus 'julla. His brow darkened a little as he re nem bored and doubled. For two nonths the man whose wife she was olng to be had not written. It wag jutrageous to Tom and full of ugly jnesibllitles. He remembered that vhen George had sailed liessle's ither had been alive and It was ,irpposerl rich, and It could have een only within the last three ninths that he had heard that he was rot. Could that account for his sl ence, Tom wondered? Could the Hior Bessie Leigh who was working a hard for her living be a different erson to George Fleming because! of .1? Almost unconsciously Tom's fingers Jenched. "But, Bessla," he cried, "you can't jr unless you know unless he inows and expects you." Bessie lifted her head. There were -udden teais in her eyes. He could lot aee thm In the dark nltfit, but 10 could see how white her face was. "Ho will ixpect me," she said quiet y, "and even If I don't hear I shall :;o." Torn stared at her. "Bessie, Bessie." he cried .suddenly, 'I wish it was mo you were going lo. t wish I could do something- to make jortaln that you were going to be jappy." He stopped. Bessie looked up again. "But I am, Tom," she cried. "I Jiall be happy." Tom took her hands. "I wish I could do something for ?ou," he repeated. "Are you Bnre ibout money? You mustn't mind me mentioning It. I'm an old friend, Bets, and If I could I should like you ?o go first-class, dear. Shall I could ! " She drew her hnnd aray. Her face had whitened again strangely, "Oh no, no, Tom," she cried. "You're very good to me, but I am all right yea, yes, thank you, Tom, J shaJJ be jjll right and happy," Fhe spoke bravely, but all the same she shivered a little as she turned away, and to her from out of the Mustering night there seemed to come a swift present it Ion of evil. Why was she going- out after all? Why did she still cling to George Fleming? She half hesitated. Tom beside her was so strong and true and loyal, so willing to help her, so ready to shield her, and Australia scorned so far away, and In spite of herself George's silence was worrying her. Shi! could not understand him. She was almost afraid, and yet she had promised to go, and she would ke-p her word whatever came, unless in deed lie wrote to tell her he did not want her. lie did want her. She as sured herself almost fiercely that he did, as she went back across the wet road. And yet before she pulled the bell she Blood and looked hark across the square with a BUdden strange shrinking from the long journey be fore her. Tom stilt stood by the rfilings. He was watching her, and perhaps It would be the last p-llmpse they ever had of each other. She turned again quickly with an odd sob In her breath and leaned helplessly against the door. The housemaid who opened It a minute later thought she looked strange and shrunken and pitiful aa she stepped Into the light. II. Tom Standish stood on deck with his eyes turned to a little white patch with the sun upon It In the distance anil with the salt spray beating in his face. It was a warm, ltright morning-, nnd all the vessel was astir with excite ment, for they were nearlng the land at last, and the little white far-off patch was Australia. Tom stared out Impatiently throitgh his glasses, blind and deaf to every thing around him. He was heartsick with disappointment and long waiting, and somehow he was afraid. When he had gone on the lioat at Southampton his sole thought was to avoid being seen until they were some miles out. He did not want Bessie to know that lie waa following her lest she should be ang-ry nnd make him go back, and he hnd gone quietly down to his cabin until they were almost out of sight of land. Then he began to search the ship. She had given him the name of the boat and the date of sailing, and so surely there could have been no mis take. Yet search as he might among the crowd of passengers he could catch no glimpse of Bessie's face. She was not there. He searched every where in the steerage among the third-class passengers. In every hole and corner, and yet from the day they sailed until now he had not once ween her. At the tlrst place they had touched he had both wired and written to the lady whose children she had taught, but the only reply was a telegram at the next stopping place saying that Bessie had left them on the date she said, and that they had supposed she was on her way to Australia. After that the only thing left or Ton to do was to wait with sickening Impatience for their arrival at Mel bourne. When they did, and the great boat was drawn up alongside the quay, he scanned the faces of the passengers, as he had scanned them a hundred times before, and still failed to sne Bessie's among them. II? hurried off, more worried and anxious than he would have cared to own. Had she started after all? Had she ever meant to start? Sometimes the thought forced It self upon him that she had not In tended to come out after all. Yet It was not like Bessie, and where she was now he dared not think. He hurried along the Melbourne streets toward George Fleming's lodgings, lie noted nothing as he went except the direction given him 'by a policeman, and when he reached it at. last he waited Impatiently for some one to come. The woman who opened the door stared at him curiously. There was no one named Fleming there, she sulil; he bad left more than a month ago. There were some letters for him, and she did not know where to send them. Tom asked -to see them, and when she brought them to him his heart sank, for they were Bessie's letters. He asked one other question If Bessie had called and then turned away. A minute later an Idea occurred to him, and he knocked at the door again. "If any one should come especially If it be a young lady will you give her this and tell her I'm here? There's a hotel at the corner of the street. I'm put ting up there. Will you tell her?" The woman nodded and took his card and be went slowly down the street, to the hotel. Ho walked with In-lit head and knit brows. Was he a fool afier nil to come? Had Bessie arranged to come by a different boat or for Fleming to meet her some where else; or had something ugly happened had Fleming deserted her? it looked like it, and he could not vest. He went again to the 'lodging late at night, and this time the wo man nodded at him knowingly. "Mo I suppose It's all right by this time, eh, sir?" she asked. "I sup pose you saw her?" Tom was startled. "Who?" he cried sharply, "not Miss Leigh?" "Of course, gr who efse? She came Just after you'd gono and very white and thlo she looked sir, and she waa that takea aback when she lizard Mr. Fleming wasn't here I thought It best to take her Jo and gre her soma tea, sir," THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG. "Yes, yes," cried Tom, Impatiently, "and then what did she do then?" The woman looked at lilm curiously. "Ho you mean to say as you havon't Been her?" sho asked. "No. I haven't," cried Tom, quickly. "Put go on what then?" "Then," said the womnn, "well, when slm was a bit more composed like she began to ask me aliout him. I told her all I knew that he went two months ago, and she told me she'd pome over as a stewardess on board a ship the Amazon I think she said, and I 'spect that's it, for it came in this afternoon, so I heard." Tom started. It was his boat, and she had been on It tiie whole timo, 'Well, well." he cried, "and then?" "Well, then I told her about you and gave her your card, and she Just started up ns If she hnd a shock, and went without so much as taking her letters." "Went gone?" cried Tom. "She went straight out," said the woman. "X queer little mortal as ever I see. She went without a word!" ' For a fortnight Tom searched the city and hung about the docks, but his efforts proved fruitless and he ad vertised In vain. Bessie had been swallowed up in the surging crowd that filled the streets, and was appar ently lost to him forever. Every now and then he called at Fleming's old nddrcss, but the woman had heard nothing. He had almost given up hope when a strange thing happened. Life Is full of strange events, and the more one looks under the surface of things the more 'dramatic we Hnd it. About three weeks after the arrival of the boat Tom was walking In the direction of the docks when he sud denly became aware that a man and woman In front of him were quarrel ing. They both seemed drunk, and he was about to pass on when some thing in the appearance of the man arrested his attention. He stood still. It was Fleming! He was flushed and excited, and he look ed coarse, disheveled, and dissolute, and the woman with him was evident ly his wife. Tom stared at her and felt a shock of thankful surprise. It was not Bessie. The two began to quarrel violently and Fleming suddenly doubled his fists. Then Tom stepped forward. As he did so he was checked by the sight of a girl on the pavement crouching against a wall. He looked at her, caught his breath, and hurried toward her, placing him self between her and the two who were beginning to scuffle. "Bessie," he cried; "Bessie, come a'ay. Come along, darling. Come away." He took her hack to his hotel, poor and half-starved as she was, heedless of the feelings of the outraged pro prietress, and engaged a private sit ting room. He cared for nothing but Bessie, and when she broke down sob bing In his arms an odd thrill went through him. "Bessie," be cried, "I am going to take care of you whether you like It or not now. You can't take care of yourself it seems, and you'll have to accept me. If you want to go back to England you shall go; If you want to stop here you shall stop, but at least I'm going to see that you don't starve." Bessie looked up at him with a thin, woe begone face. "I'm ashamed of myself," she cried. "I've been wicked and ungrateful to you. Oh, Tom, forgive me. I knew you were on the lioat, but I was work ing my way over as stewardess, and I dreaded the thought of your seeing me. Oh, Tom, forgive me." "I'll forgive you anything If you'll marry me," ho said. She hesitated. "I can't now like this," she cried. "It would be so easy such a simple way to provide for myself. Oh, Torn, I can't. I must find some other way of repaying you." lie caught her to him passionately. "There Is no other way," he cried. "Bessie, my darling. I've got you and I mean to keep you. Only try to care for me a little bit and I shall be content, sweetheart." She did try, and suceeded so well that they have both forgotten that there ever was another man. Annie O. Tibblts, In Taller. 1 Cotton Overcoats. The telegraphic announcement the present week that well-known New England woollen mills are about to extend the use of mercerized cotton In their manufactures will cause no surprise to thoso who have followed the trend of affairs In wool and wors ted manufacture of late years. The uso of combed and carded cotton yarns that have been treated with caustic soda, which is tlio basic principle In mercerizing, or lustering, toitako the place of the silk stripe In fancy goods as well as a substitute for worsted In making the entire fabric, has grown apace the past two years, and Is evi dently meeting a want that has been unsupplied heretofore. Merit ion was made In these columns some years ago of a consignment of Clay worsteds that were sent here by the Bradford manufacturers In which there was no particle of wool, warp nnd tilling alike consisting of long-staple cotton, so manipulated In the weaving and finishing- as to deceive even the expert buyers. Large numbers of lightweight over coats were said to have been made from the material, and found a ready sale In this and other markets. The domestic manufacturers are doing now what the English makers did then, but are extending their field Into the lighter weight good for i men's wear.Bpstpn Trarjscrlpt. FROG HUNTER'8 PERILS. Marines Rescue Aged Man From Death In Swamp. After he had sunk In League Island Lake swamp Larry Hayden, a well known frog hunter, was rescued by a party of marines after he had called two hours for help. The mud and ooze that was drag ging him by Inches to death was al most touching his chin when the mar ines were attracted by Hayden's do (pairing moans. Hayden, w ho Is 50 years of age, Uvea In a little frame house on the marsh land, a quarter of a mile east of Broad street and makes his living by hunting and fishing. Lately he has been reaping a har vest by his patch of frogs which ho disposed of at a good profit to a clien tele of epicures. For ten years he has made the rounds of the swamps and poo's. Ho knew every foot of the territory and was certain ho knew every treacherous spot. He was out at 5 o'clock In the morning on his accustomed hunt, and In the misty light mistook a swaiupy spot, covered with dry grass, for solid ground. Leaping over a little pool, he land ed with both feet upon the treacher ous spot. Before he could recover himself ho had sank beyond his knees. He tried to leap back, but found him self fast as if In a vise. His legs were close together when he landed, thus adding to the difficulty of help ing himself. Inch by Inch he found himself sink ing Into the mire. Every move add ed to his peril. He called for help at the top of his voice, but no one responded and he grew desperate. He saw several Italian women pick ing dandelions and he raised hia voice. The women heard, but could not see. and mistaking It as a warn ing, they hurried away. Hayden, recounting his terrible ex perience, said he then threw himself on his face, sprawling out over the ooze and slime to make himself moro buoyant. But bo soft was the Jelly like earth that his hands and arms began to sink. He threw himself on his back, keeping up his cries at In tervals. When the marines came he was al most unconscious. Four of them, who were on liberty, were crossing the meadows Instead of walking up Broad street, when they heard Hayden's cry. From a squatter's camp they pro cured boards and shovels and were obliged to actually dig the man out. He had sunk Into unconsciousness, but was soon revived. Queer Philippine Corners. It Is probable that the Philippine islands are more quaintly enriched with queer corners than any other of this country's foreign possession! Among the Interesting spots that Have up to now escaped the hunter after curious things might be mentioned the little island of Santa Maria. X'p to a short time ago here lived an old datto, who had numerous pretty wives; so old and ugly was the datto and so pretty the wives that the lat ter Indulged In affairs of the heart when the former was not around. . Two of the wives in particular were often to be seen driving around the streets, followed at a respectable dis tance hy their lovesick Romeos. One night there was a row in the datto's harem and the two wives mys teriously disappeared. This came to the ears of the officer commanding the American troops and the datto was asked to explain where tho wives were. "They dead," he grunted laconi cally. "What caused them to die at the same time?" "Head chopee off," was the reply. Another interesting little Island is Bengao, which Is one of the southern most of tho Philippine group, being only a few miles from British North Borneo. Under the Spanish regime it was Inhabited by a mixed breed of murderous Moros, treacherous Malays and others with a dash of tho pirati cal blood of Borneo. The American soldiers had consid erable trouble with these people at the beginning of the war. The pirates stole everything that happened to be lying loose, particularly guns; stabbed men In tho back merely as a matter of pi ratic principle, and when things grew a bit dull they turnpd to and "smoked up" their own Island." The only timo of real peace in the place was when the pirates launched their war canoes and put to sea armed to the teeth. They usually returned a week later with considerable qualities of loot nnd proceeded forthwith to get gloriously drunk and raise more trou ble. New York Herald. Radium to Illuminate Gun Sights. Tlio discovery of the latest use to which radium can he put the Illum ination of gun sights and the like, at night time seems to Indlcato that It will play an Important part In war fare. In gun sights, leveling Instruments, and telescopes there is what is called a "fiducial" mark, which is used to obtain a faithful result.

If tho street gown Is plcluresqur tn morning piwn Is more. It Is posi tively romantic. A volume might bo written upon tho romnnce of tho peiR nolr nnd yet leave a ureal denl unsaid. Colors, fabrics, trimmings and orna ments nil combine to mpko the morn Inn frown ns lovely a thlnft as fnncjr could paint. It Is liKht In weiht, beautiful In design and It Is earrl' d out with a fidelity to detail which Is exquisite. Take If you pleas, the Japanese tea. pown or the Japanese tea coat or th kimono,. Tlio last, with its Ions linos and Its lovely imbroldery around the hem nnd Its long silk facings, Is too romfortablo cvr to bo forftnttHn by the woman who has once owned a kimono. As a tea coat tho Japanese gnrment Is even more convenient. Tho coat, which Is made of Oriental silk, either floured or embroidered, Is cut. In tho three-quarter lengtfi, Is fastened with cords and ornaments and is worn with a silk underskirt. The underskirt can bo mado of Japanese, goods or It can be simply an old ellk skirt, some rem mint of Ibyffolie grandeur, which docs admirably, cut over and made Into a house skirt. If a woman Is maklnc her own Japa nese frown, be It teapown or kimono, she can afford to embroider It thor oughly and showily. She must use silk of many colors and sho would be sensi ble were she to take for pattern some rally elegant Japanese kimono, so that she can copy its colors and 1U designs. These kimonos come at all prices and, while one Is copying a kimono, one might as well copy a nlc one as a common one. The Oriental silks are so numerous since the Japanese invasion of the world of art and they are so cheap and so easily draped, so adjustable, so highly desirable, In every way, that a woman would do well to Invest In them. Ono can often find remnants very cheap at sales. And these come In good for the making ot the peignoir. Per haps, If the renment be a short one, It can be combined with something else and a handsome teagown made out ot next to nothing. No bolter pattern can be found for the amateur than the kimono-shaped gown, ana she who would undcrtike to make a peignoir can make it up In kimono shape. Just escaping the ground, faced with a contrasting ir terlal, with u deep hem of the saruo and trimmed up each sldo of the front with bands of stuff. The matter of em broidery Is a question of taste, but she who Is ambitious can work big strag gling flowers down tho front and around the hem and on one side she can embroider or applique a big, many colored bird. This roaks an extremely pretty finish. Teagowns are made of many mater ials and aro in many shapes, oue of tho prettiest being the ribbon and lace teagown. Those who have plenty of time and material can take satin rib bon three Inches wide and stitch It In strips to lace of the same width. There should bo strtpo after st.ripo of alternating ribbon and lace. And the stitching should be done on tho sewing machine and should be vlsable. Vlsable stitching, by the way, is very fashionable. Seams are strapped with visible stitching and strips of ribbon and lace are overlapped and sewed together so that every stitch shows. It Is the fashionable way of sewing and there is very little blind stitching or seaming done. Tho teagown should be cut out after the ribbon and lace nre sewed together and a pretty shape is the wrapper shape, with slightly fitted waist and with a deep sailor collar. Those who go In for trailing effects can make the teagown very long, it Is, perhaps, more graceful with its trailing lengths though It is not nearly as sensible. The French teagown trails Inches and Inches upon the ground and the French woman holds It up in front when she walks. Hold ing a gown up in front Is called the Eugenie lift. One of the most elegant peignoirs Is made of china silk and Is cut long, very long, opening all the way down the front. Health and Beauty. Rose water, eight ounces, and tinc ture of benzoin two drams, make one of the best of skin tonics and whlt eners. A beauty specialist discounts the practice many women follow so per sista itiy of dashing the lace with the colder t water they can lay hands on. Shu says that the shock which the face receives tends to check rather than quicken circulation und that tho result will bo a thickening and yellow of the skin whenever it is kept up for any length of time.
