"How wns your amateur opera per- your amateur lormiincer' "It wus so poor that It was really rich." -Cincinnati Enquirer. A Phase Of the Feminine. Miss Do Guyster stepped aboard the car gingerly, with the hesitancy of ono nccustomed to riding In upholstered currlages. She was so dressed that the women regarded her with envy, the men with admiration. When tho trol ley, as usual, started the vehicle with a disquieting Jerk, she preserved her balance with an effort and then pro ceeded to sit up very erect Indeed, look ing straight before her, In manifest disapproval of everybody. it was the expression ot conscious superiority lurking In her serene gray eyes that, in a wny, confounded nnd abashed her neighbors. It seemed to add to the charm of her beauty and accentuated the dnlntluess of her diess. It nppeared to say: "I am not In the habit of going about in this way, my good people believe me, I am not. I am of a different class. I am of so ciety. When I travel abroad I usually go In my mamma's equipage, with the family crest on the pnnels and men In livery on the box. 1 nm compelled to lake a short Journey with you tills fine September morning, however, nnd t hope you are enjoying tho experience as much as 1 am." Now It so happened that the seat oc cupied by Miss Do Guyster was the one nt the forward end of the car, with Its back to the niotormnn. She wast consequently compelled to face quite half of tho other passengers, and she bore their keen, analytical scrutiny with nn Indifference distinctly thor oughbred. The car filled rapidly, and very soon there wete but few seats re maining vacant. Into the narrow space beside her the only space left In the row there climbed, at the next stop, the very typo of passenger whom the young lady from the Avenue would probably have gone farthest to avoid. She- was a girl I was going to say, "like heisolf," but that would scurcoly bo true, because this girl was of a type so different that, looking at the twain, it was impossible to compie lieud how Nature could have fashioned two such beings nnd linked them to gether with the one word "human." Tho newcomer was perhaps twenty years old. She had a lean figure, un gracefully displayed by a frayed ging ham dress. She hud a head of curly hair, cropped short at the back of the neck, and her large blue eyes shone with a hard, defiant stare. Her hat was a red one, and was soiled. Her hands were not ell kept anil there wero Inexpensive rings on them. Yet with it all, she had a certain brazen bounty that was undeniable. Miss Dp Guyster sliuddeied secretly, but preserved her composure. She would have done the same thing if called upon to swim from a sinking yacht or submit without warning to the amputation of a Hint). She had been innocent of any outward sign of dis tress, but the Tough Girl had detected her aversion by Instinct, and pouf! the war was on. It was the war. alas! ot Hace that sorry. Interminable war that has been responsible for so many bitter heart burnings since this 'fcail old world be gan. The figure of the Tough Gill grew. In nn instant, tenso and rigid. Slie leaned forward slightly and spread the ringed fingers of the ill-kept hands ostentatiously out on her knees before her. She squared her lean shoulders and elevated her Insolent little nose, snltllng the air disdainfully. In her at titude, there was scorn mingled with defiance, hatred with contempt. The fellow-travelers of the pair could hardly fall to notice the spirit of an tagonism that existed between them. Indeed, the physical contrast would In Itself have been sufficient to excite re mark. The pampered lily of the salon side by side with the tarnished peony of the slums Knickerbocker and Mc Fadden purity und grime it was an interesting situation. On whlzzled the trolley. Miss De Guyster continued to hold herself very erect and. to stare straight before her without once blinking. She fixed her serene eyes on the painted number at I lie rear end of the car, and wondered if this very objectionable person be side her had far to go. She also felt that If It were necessary for loud young women with short hair nnd soiled hands to ride in trolley cars with peo ple of refinement they might at leust abstain from the use of abominable perfumes. It was this thought, pos sibly, that led her to fish In her reticule for a gossamery little lace handker chief, with the Do Guyster crest em broidered In the corner, and to flick It lightly across her face. Cologne against patchouli! The two essences do not harmonize. They did not In this Instance. The act of the Swell bred In the heart of the Tough an added detestation and defiance. She ceased the tossing of her abbreviated curls and the hard breathing through her little flat nostrils. She turned half round and looked, with scorn and malice, squarely into tho De Guyster face. Tho Do Guyster nerves stood the test, though the ordeal was trying. Slowly, and with tho utmost delib eration,, the person of low degree pro ceeded to study the aristocrat. She be gan, literally, at the foot and went to tho top. She marked, first of all, tho gleaming patent leather boot, the In finitesimal toe of which peeped from beneath tho hem ot the smart tailor built skirt. She absoibed with bitter ness In her soul the charm of the jaunty drab Jacket with Its slim waist and fanciful Ktlteiilng ut tho seams and cuffs. The dazzling whiteness of tho lady's collar govo her a. new Irrita tion, and she noted, with a freth scorn, the daintiness ot the gloves, tho mod est tilt or tho pert little hat. But Jusr then Miss De Guyster herself half turned, and thereby placed a climax upon the Tough Girl's disper.ite emo tion. For In nn Instant tho hard blue eyes laid burrowed their way Into tho gray ones and had discovered In those placid depths u something that vastly Intensified the ache In that rebellious heart; a something that Is found only In the eyes of children und of tho good: a something, alas, that the hard eyes would never hold again. At which tho ill-kept hands clenched themselves on tho rather bony knees, and tho clipped head resumed Its scornful tossing. Thero were tenrs behind the hard eyes now a tear nor of grief, but of furious wrath and liate.

Miss De Guyster, wlio had borne with resignation the mero Inspection of her clothes, lost patience wii'en tills unde sirable person hud stared rudely Into her very eyes. Tho delicate pink ot her cheeks flushed momentarily to a crim son richness. She now despised her neighbor as keenly as her neighbor detested her.

Perhaps that was why she now glared Willi defiance and Jealousy, at tho Girl from the Avenue, as much as to say; "Ho belongs to my class. He Is, there fore, mine. You phan't touch hltn." Tho Girl from the Avenue looked mystified, but ut the (same time very concerned and sympathetic. After an Instant's hesitation, she drew forth an odd little silver filigree-work, and hand ed It to her enemy, saying softly, "Try this, please; 1 am sure It will revive him." The offering was accepted, albeit with a bad grace. After two or three sniffs, the soldier sat up, und the con ductor came to Inquire, In most solicit ous fashion, nt what street he wished to stop. It appeared that he had al ready leached his destination, for with out thanking either of his Samniitans, and with an oath that severely shocked at least one of them, ho signified In the same breath his contempt for his weakness and his desire to alight. They watched him walk painfully up the steps of the hospital on the corner and then "Thank you." said Miss Do Guyster. chilly, as she took back her vinaig rette, and added, without knowing why, "you see, I had a-a-a friend lu the Hough Riders."

All European travelers will re-call with pleasure the charming effects ob tained at tile mountain resorts In Switzerland bv turning llashllghtsi of colored rays on nearby mountain cas cades. At the summit of Mount Lowe, In California, this idea Is applied on a hcale and under atmospheric condi tions never befoie available. The gi gantic scan blight which was placed on the top of the Liberal Arts build ing, wjs one ot the well remembered sights of the World's fall'. As Its rays were projected upwaid to the north ward on the passing steamer or on the merry crowns of tho "Midway," It con stituted an untutling source of com ment and nwakened endless curiosity, but It Is doubtful If the Inventor of that appliance himself had any Idea or tno latest possibilities ot ins instru ment under conditions such as obtain at the summit of Mount Lowe. Vntll this treat searchlight was es tablished in its present location Its powers could not be brought out, on account of its location so near the gen ei al level of the surrounding country. Heie, however, it Is so located that Its rays can be seen lor 150 miles out on the orean, and the must distant moun tain peaks can bo made visible. The beam, of light la. no. powerful- th;t its full sweep" illuminates the peaks of muuntalns which nro hundreds of miles apait. It Is of 3,000,000 candle pewer and stands on a wooden base, built in oc tagon form, which has a diameter ot about S feet.

Dr. Wtirth In commenting on recent discoveries-In medicine, said: There U nono which is certain to be so valuable and far-reaching In benefit as Stuart'H Dyspepsia Tablets, the new stomach temedy; I say far reaching, beenuse people little realize how Important a sound stomach and vigorous digestion Is to every ninn, woman and child. Indigestion Is the starting point of consumption, heart dlseasv. Bright'" disease, oiubctes, nervous prostration, liver troubles; why Is this so? Simply becauso every nerve, muscle and tissue in our bodies Is created and nourished from the food we eat. If that food is, by reason of a weak stomach, com pelled to lie for hours, a sour, fermcrit Ing mass of half digested food, It pois ons the blood nnd nervous system, cre ates gas which distends the stomach and bowels, causing pressttro on tha henrt, lungs and other organs, and seri ously Impeding their action. He snys further, the point to direct attention is not the nerves, nor heart, nor lungs.nor kidneys, but the stomach, the llrs-'t cause ot all tho mischief. Tho remedy to use for indigestion and weak stomachs Is not some cathartic, but a remedy which will digest tho food, Increase the How of gastric Juice, absorb the gases, and Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets will accomplish exactly this result in any case of stomach trouble, because these tablets are composed of the digestive uclds, aseptic pepsin, Golden eal and bismuth, pleasant to taste, and not being a patent medicine, can bo usvd by anyone with perfect safety. I believe Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets will cure any form of indiges tion and stomach trouble except cancer of stomach. Full size packages of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets are sold by druggists nt 50 cents' or by mall from F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. A book on stom ach Ureases, together with thousands of testimonials, will be sent by address ing above or call on your druggist for them.
