"Odd hand, my Inst," remnrked
cnfl of tho bridge plnyern. Ho was a
iod-looklng fnlr man, with an cyo
lwn who was not too much nl
.orbfld in his game to find time to
lance at the girl In white who snt
on tho opposite side of him. She
coined to have a great deal to sny to
the man by her side. He looked like
a sailor, a man with a keen, nlort
face, and far-seolng eyes. Tlmy
talked In low tones between the
plays. The game went on.
"What a good game!" snld one of
tho men, as they rose. He stlllod a
yawn, looking at tho clock.
"Yes," replied the man with the
eyeglass, absontly. "Oood gatno." ilo
vas looking towards the girl and
follow.
The hostess glanced suddenly at
the clock. "My doar people," sho ex
claimed, "If any of us mean to hunt
to-morrow wo ought to go to our lit
tle beds. I had no Idea It was so
lute. Goorgo 1ms probably gone to
loop In tho smoklns room. Kvle ir.o
you bored to death plnylnc; cards?"
The girl In white smiled demure
ly. "No, thanks, dear," she repllod
irti'ttlly. She did not look bored.
They moved Into tho hall, where
there was a keen but silent competi
tion between tho willor and the man
with tho eyechiHs to light nnd hau l
the candles. Hoth turned nt the
Bame moment to tho girl In vhlto. .
"Rood-night, she khIiI softly and
impartially to them both.
Tho two other men who had been
playing bridge had gone down tho
corridor to the smoking room a:;d
their host. A whistled chorus of
"Of course I don't know, but I
cucss," came back softly to tho two
nien left In the hall. The vonien'a
voices sounded faintly upstairs, with
the soft rustle of their frocks. Tho
8iillor'B eyes suddenly met those of
the other man, and ha held out his
hand.
"Good-night, old ni,jtn," ho said;
"I'm going to turn in." He went up
stairs whistling.
In her own room the girl was
reading a letter, a long letter In a
feminine hand. Sho read and re-read
it. and then suddenly threw It Into
the Are. Tho flames curlod round
the sheet. Some wods stood out
very distinctly.
"... told me aad of course he
knows. It's quite private, and not to
bo breathed a word about, yet Dut
ho said it's almost certain that "
tho flames burned out the name
"will get the money. And such a
pilot He is to have a wire to-morrow.
Be sure and not breathe a
word" . . . The letter burned up
quickly. A few gray ashes dropped
into the grate. Outside fin owl hoot
ed mournfully. The girl shivered,
looking nervously over her shoulder.
Three words still stood out distinctly
ou the charred sheet: "Such a pile"
They all came in from hunting the
next evening, tired and pleased with
their day. There was the usual
search on the hall table for tele
grams, or second-post letters. The
man with the eveelass took UD an'
orange envelope He looked his tall, (
straight best in pink, mud-splashed
aii ho was. He read the tolegram,
and an eager light camo Into his
oyes. He gathered up his letters,
with one quick glance at the girl,
and went upstairs.
"Conio along, Evle, lot's gt and
change," said her hostess. She linked
bur arm In the girl's, and they
walked together to the foot of the
wide staircase. But she suddenly
remembered a message to be given,
tnd turned back iuto the hall again.
Only tho sailor was there as she
passed through. He was gazing at
tho Btalrcaso which the girl was as
eendl'ig. At tho top ho . paused,
stooped, and picked up something It
looked like an envelope. Sho passed
0:1 to her room quickly. The sailor's
Btralsht brows were knit together.
11k sat on in tho hall, staring into
the flro, until the girl enrno down
sgalu. S'.-.e held a pile of letters In
herjiand and was going to the post
W. Sonit-thljg sillily fluttered
front her fingers as c'm pruisod him.
lfo stooped and plchi .l up an oramo
envelope. A name stool out legibly.
"You dropped this'.'" ho oald In
terrogatively. Sho startort, coloring
violently.
"IT Oh, no." Ho looked at her
for one puzzled moment, and her
yea foil before hl3. She looked very
young and pretty. The sailor laid
the tolegram on tho mantolpleco, be
hind the loud-tlcklug clock. Then he
took the girl's hand. . . . "Dut I am
e very sorry," she was saying, re
gretfully, a few moments later. Tho
toldler with the eyeglass was com
ing downstairs, spick-and-span, and
ell-brushed. The sailor left tho
ball.
They drank their health that
venlng at dinner, and every one
aid how pleaoed they were. The
allori too, though his congratula
tions were brief. Aftor dinner there
w another announcement to make,
"he man with the eyeglass spoke.
They chaffed him, and called him

a unknown uncle who made for-'i-

Mrs, I'lillgiiilntlirow Suggests One
That Might Do In Some Cases.
"In my own case," said Mr. Phllg
mlnthrow, "I And taat Insomnia pro
ceeds largely from worry over money.
My nerves are all right and I have a
enst Iron stomach, . can eat anything
and enjoy It, and as a general propo
sition life looks pretty rosy to me;
but still I do occasionally have nights
that I -nn't sleep, when I He awake
worrying over how I am going to
make both ends meet.
"I never deliberately consider fl
nancial questions at night, but 1 do
find that sometimes and this may
be after a most completely comfort
able evening financial questions ou
trude themselves upon me after I
have gone to bed.
To stave oft ..hese unpleasant
questions and enable myself to for
get them go that I could go to sleep
I have tried various familiar meth
ods; I have got out of bed and stood
up to make myself tired; I have
recalled and dwelt on pleasant jour
neys; I have counted from one up to
a million, more or loss; I have said
the alphabet backward over and over
again; I have tried many things; but
do you know what In my ense I And
most efficacious? It is a story that
I tell tv, myself about how I am go
ing to become comfortably rich and
thus free from all financial troubles
"It took n,e a co islderable time to
build up this story in such comfort
able shape that It just suited me, so
that It seemed natural; like some
thing that might have happened, you
understand, and then I filled In tho
amount thnt was coming to me, mak
ing that enough so that tho Income
from It would be sufficient to provide
for all ordinary wants and as well as
for a few modest luxuries, including
a little travel a pleasant prospect
to dwell upon. And by the time 1
had this story completely built up
it took me some time to tell It to
myself, with that snug little fortune
that was to save me from all finan
cial worry coming in r.t the er.d.
"And then when those money
questions used to pounce on me after
I'd gone to bed and threaten to keep
ae awake I'd start off and tell myself
that story, as In truth I have done
many times. And sometimes I'd
have to tell It to myself two or three
times over In succession to drive
away the spectre and then again
once would do, that money coming
in at the enl of it soothing me to
sleep, and then I have Bomotlmes
even not been compelled to tell It all
through once; I have fallen aHleep
before I had finished It, before I got
to the money, so sure was I that It
was coming to me." New York Sun.

An Eskimo will devour greedily
twenty pounds of meat a day. A
Russian Tartar will eat in twenty
four hours forty pounds. Captain
Cochrane mentions a Tartar whp con
sumed in that time the hind quar
ters of a large ox, twenty pounds of
fat anu a proportionate quantity of
melted butter for drink. Three ol
his tribe the Yakutl think noth
ing of polishing off a reindeer at a
meal. In London and New York the
average consumption of meat Is half
n pound to ouch person daily; in
Paris it Is one-sixth of a pound, with
a much lower fraction for the vil
lages and cou .try; the Irishman's
bone and muscle are' elaborated from
potatoes, not from tlobli. and the
brawny Highlander builds up his
