That evening-., one of J!r. Caldwell's
perlodlcn dinners, for which thi Invi
tations hail lon beqn sent out and ac
cepted, was to take place Feliclu, who
was byjunv used to such things at sec-ond-hund.
when sent down to Rive the
butler the dinner cards and the chart of
the scats, lingered, looking on at the
glittering trlile with its burden of sil
ver and wax llshts and banks of maiden
hair, fern und roses. She was no longer
o much Impressed with mere exter
nals as at tlrst. (Irandenr, from her
point of view, had begun to pall on her.
But she had quaint, wistful Imaginings
of what it would be to be led in to

table by such a inan ns Duncan Moore,
for example, and sit there us a part of
It. In this crisis of her rash fancies,.
Jlortense, Mrs. Caldwell's niuid, cume In
search of her.
"Hurry, mademoiselle," said Hor
tense, with a touch of authority. "Mad
am must see you immediately, dans sa
chambrc."
Madam, In her tea gown, sat before
her mirror, the picture of perplexity
an open note In her hand.
"Can you imagine anything more
vexatious?" she exclaimed, pathetical
ly, "Miss Clayton has a headache, and
cannot come. That girl Is spoiled be
yond all endurance by being set up as
the season's beauty; and I don't believe
"Trt-tleT- headache In the least. I have
racked my brain to think of some one
to replace her, and failed. I should not
mind, but Mrs. Mammon, who thinks it
such a tremendous condescension If sne
comes to you at all, will not dine thir
teen on any account. She would not
hesitate to call for her carriage and go
home, If she found out wo were thir
teen. There's no helo for It. Miss
Charlton, you must come down and lul

uable In suggestion for such nn emer
gency. In all my things she can surely
And something you can wear."
Felicia wanted to rebel against the
whole of the programme, but against
the latter part of It she did not rebel.
"I have a pale-blue crepon that Is
Very nice," she said, quietly. "It has a
low bodice trimmed with n fall of Just
such old Mallncs lace as you have on
ybur pearl color, but finer. It was my
mother's lace," she added, seeing Hor
tense stare. "If I may wear that. Mrs.
Caldwell, to oblige you I will come
down,"
"Certainly, certainly," cried the re
lieved lady, breathing freer. "I er
suppose you won't wear ornaments,
Wiss Charlton?"'
"Don't be afraid of that." exclaimed
the girl, lightly, and then ran off to her
room, '
Resentful to her enforced position,
Felicia gilded downstairs Just as the
guests were falling into line to go Into
' the dining-room. From the shadow
under the stairway she was intercepted
and captured by Duncan Moore.
"I am actually, and without solicita
tion, to take you In to dinner," he said,
offering her his hand. "I have been
looking for you ever since Mrs.. Cald
well gave me notice of my good luck."
. He did not tell her the notice was ac
companied by profuse apologies at Im
posing this service upon a "very good
friend." In his heart, ho rejoiced at
escaping that conceited Irene Clayton,
. -who could think and speak of nothing
but her own successes in the social
world at Newport; and, as the dinner
progressed, he observed, with consider
able satisfaction, that many approving
glances were cast by the other men
present upon his charming little . part
ner; for Felicia, forgetting her woes,
arose to the occasion royally. Her
color deepened, her eyes grew starry,
. her animation was irresistible to look
upon and to share In. The man on her
other side, a maker of opinions In New
port, even turned his back upon the
conversation of Mrs. Mammon to en
joy this delightfully fresh and sparkling
little new girl whom Mrs. Caldwell had
been so clever to discover.
, From) exultant satisfaction, Mr. pun-
can Moore retired more than once Into
the sulfcs when he found her attention
as freely ; bestowed upon her other
neighbor as upon himself. Then, each
time Felicia returned td him, he was
renewed In hope. .
It floes net require as much time for
cupld. sly wlsht, to wing a shaft Into
a young man's bossom that will
V, rankle there for nil time as for me to
write this sentence. .
Already Duncan Mocre, whose de
sirableness an a parti did r.ot In the
lenFt uffeet FVllsln, vowed to himself
that if he could win this young- woman
to he his, he would not look ut any
other. It may be added that It was In
consequence of a faliir l? nut with him,
whom M!so Clayton hnd believed to be
her own possession, that the young lady
had failed to l-e present at the dinner,
which afforded him his chance with her
rival.

"How very, very good of you." mur
mured Mrs. Caldwell to Mr. Moore,
when the men came out from dinner.
"Yes," salil Mrs. Mammon; "and as I
understand it was all for my sake, I
appreciate It the more."
"Where Is that charming Miss Charl
ton?" rsked Mr. Trent, who had sat
upon Felicia's riyht at table. "How one
does enjhy those little southern thor
oughbreds, when they are both pretty
and merry, as she Is! You are a clever
wonmn, Mrs. Caldwell, to get such at
tractions for your feast."
Moore, who lmd responded to neither
lady's Fpeech. stood plarlng Into the
cornors of the great ilusky dm wing
room with Its pink-shaded lumps, as It
In search or her.
"I think It likely my secretary has
gone to her own room," said Mrs. Cald
well tu Mr. Trent. "I was just confess
ing to Mrs. Mammon that I had her In
to play the quntorzlenie on a pinch."
Moure who now what had happened,
that po-.ir liltlo Felicia, like many an
other of her sex before her, left alone
among the women, had been driven
from the field felt a sudden desire to
champion the opppressed before the
world, to which he did not, at first,
exnctly see his way to give expression,
without traiiHirressIng propriety.
"You tire realty very civil," said his
hostess, with a short laugh. "Why
should you look like a thundercloud be
cause MlssCharlton has shown the good
sense, to go hack to her proper 'place?
One would think that, with you, Instead
of being quatorxleme, this young per
son Is premiere;" and she laughed
again, meaningly.
This gave Moore his opportunity,
"She Ib not, but shall be. If you are go
ing to be kind enough to give me your
help to win her," he said, where Bhe
alone, could hear him.
Mrs. Caldwell, who had begun o
lnugh as If this were a capital joke, was
silenced by the earnest expression of
the young man's eyes. And then, by
one of those caprices of nature who ae
llghts in the development of unex
pected traits, the woman's heart Inside
of her crust of worldllness was touched.
"flood gracious, I believe you mean
It!" she exclaimed, wondering.
"I do mean It," he answered, seri
ously. "To tel the truth, t have found noth
ing but good In her," went on the lndy.
"And now I think she is lucky as well
as good."
Thus Felicia's episode ns a bread
winner in the circle of his society was
shortened In the fushion, varied, but
substantially the same. In all uses.
Boon after the memorable dinner, her
letters to her mother began to be In
fused with a spirit that made that good
"Good Gracious! I Bcllcvo Yon Mean It?"
lady wonder and rejoice. And, shortly
after that, Mrs. Charlton and the Ken
nards were surprised by a visit from a
gentleman, Introduced through a letter
from Mrs. Caldwell, that left them no
room to doubt of his right to a cordial
reception.
In the autumn of that year, Mrs. Cald
well lost her secretary.
Tiut then, as she had gained the con
sciousness of virtue rewarded for sub
stantial kindness done, she could afford
to be complacent In telling the conse
quences of her most recent attempt to
bridge over the predicament of thirteen
at table.
,1 The End.
.WALKING ON EGGS.
Wellman, In Times-Herald.
Just now Mr. Reed Is having everything
his own way. He Is Fought early and late
by men of high and low degree. Every
one Is eager to press his hand, to smile at
his jokes, to tell him what a great and a
good mm he Is. Mr, Heed dwells in the
sweet consciousness that he has but to
move his 1'ttle tnger and any one of theae
aspiring hundreds, these- pushing men
from all parts of the union, will go up or
down In the scale of Influence. But after
It. Is all over, after all the chairmanships
and desirable committee assignments shall
have been given out, there will be a reac
tion. Kvery speaker must make more ene
mies than friends In his arrangement ot
committee. The enmity bred of disap
pointment lives longer than the gratitude
bora to success. There is no more dan
gerous responsibility fori a presidential
aspirant to assume than that of trifling
with vanity and the ambition of the mem
bers of congress of his own political
faith. ' Mr. Reed's most Intimate friends
tell me he realises this, and wishes he
were well out of the whole thing. If there
had been any creditable avenue of escape
from the speakership and Its responsibil
ity, he Would have burn glad to follow It.
But there was not, and he had to face the
music. Now that he Is Anally engaged
upon difficult and delicate task of organ
ising the hours In such manner ss not to
harm his presidential prospects, Mr. Reed
Is moving with great asutlon and delibera
tion. There are times, as one of Mr.
Reed's friends puts It. "when he feels
that be is, walking on eggs,' V

HYPNOTIC CRIME.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin. ,
When hypnotism, comes to the aid of
crime. It Is high time for the doctors of
the science to make the mystery known to
laymen, in ordtr that we may protect our
selves against the psychologic craftsmen.
If the rase reported from New Jersey be
authentic, it shows that the claim of the
hypnotic doctrinaires that crime is impos
sible In hypnotlzatlon does not hold. A
"good-looking" gypsy enters a house, mes
merises mother and daughter, carries
away such spoil as she chooses and the
law is helpless, since the thief seem to
have been gifts. Now the theory ot the
hypnotic doctrinaires is distinctly that
the subject of the mystic manipulator is
secure against crlmnul attempt, because
the objective reason, that is, the will
power to distinguish between right and
wrong, la not In the least impaired by the
semi-somnolency, or suspended develop
ment of the faculties, during the opsra
tlons of the .purely subjection trance.
That, In other words, the mind retains
possession of the human Instinct against
personal danger. That, while the hypno
tlaer can compel a subject to do and say
certain things, he cannot Induce the agent
to do certain other things.
It has, however, been demonstrated re
peatedly by Dr. Charcot and his disciples
that the mesmerized victim could be made
to do foolish things; sny foolish things,
and, if foolish ones, why not criminal, or
things harmful to the subjects' own in
terest? Obxlously, if the Brunswick
gypsy had the power to lull her victims
to the semi-unconsciousness Involved In
the hypnotic state, she could induce a
condition favorable to robbory. In any
event. If the gift of hypnotizing Is as Its
disciples claim, a condition given to cer
tuln physical organizations, It is time for
somo recognized authority to set the
facts before the law-makers, to hedge all
such Instrumentalities with safeguards
against the criminals, who, otherwise,
hold the helpless at a disadvantage. The
possibility of what may happen with a
raving brood of miscreant mystics In
vading the household opens a vista too
immense for speculation.
ABOUT PARDONS.
From the Pottsvllle Miner's Journal.
Tho board of pardons Is,- under the
present constitution of our common
wealth, the real dispenser of clemency to
ward criminals, as Its recommendation
counts tvery time, the executive officer,
or governor, never refusing to act in af
firmative conjunction with the board's
action. As at present constituted under
the supreme law the board consists of the
lieutenant governor, secretary of the com
monwealth, attorney general and secre
tary of internal affairs ami "no pardon
shall be granted or sentence commuted,
except upon the recommendation In writ
ing to those officials, or "any three of
them." The present board has made a
record as the most clemently Inclined of
all the six which have existed under the
constitution In twenty-one years.' It has
turned a willing, eur to tho appeals of
many culprits, as voiced by counsel, and
much encouragement will, as a result of
the board's many recommendations, be
given to those doing time In the various
Jails of the state, and It may be expected
that applications will Increase.
In anticipation thereof It may be well
to admonish the pardon mill that It is
grinding exceeding large and the great net
of subserving the ends of Justice mav be
very seriously interfered with If a majori
ty of the cases heard each month shall re
ceive atllrmntlve action. It Is not pre
tended thut the present board has made
any grevlous mistakes In the exercise of
Its powers ami prerogatives so far, but It
has only been in existence less than a
year and we venture the assertion without
the fear of successful contradiction that
In that time more cases have been rec
ommended for clemency than any one of
the preceding boards passed on favorably
In any two years of Its time In ofllce. It
is not necessary to particularize, but the
Justice of pardoning one, and not another,
of two or more convicted people, who are
undergoing sentences, must eventually
present itself with great force to the par
doning power. There Is such a thing as
being too free with fuvors.
Consumption
Collapse .
In this disease is what physicians
constantly are on the look-out
for, knowing that it means the
end. Just keep up the strength ;
keep the body nourished prop
erly, so that waste of tissue is
checked, and with proper medi
cines death is delayed indefi
nitely, or a permanent cure, as
has been proved in thousands of
cases is accomplished. To effect
this much desired result, give
the patient
Bovinine
Dr. W. E. S. Preston, House
Physician of the House of Rest
for Consumptives," of Tremont,
N. Y., says, " I have never known
a case where the stomach has
rejected liovinine. In cases of
collapse, so common among con
sumptives, we always use it."
Bovinine being easy to take, and
quick of assimilation and a won
derful food product, at once
starts on its mission of creating
strength, flesh and blood. It
tones up the vital organs and by
thus invigorating them, enables
them to throw off disease and
gives to the sufferer a new lease
of life where such a thing is
possible.

TO our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons that they will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat fa now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers arc
of the opinion that it fa already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will talc
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful uttention to every detail of milling hat
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'a flour far above other
brands.
