"You know the old adage, Lawrence,
'All's fair In love unil war.' I shall do
nothing unfair, but I decline to admit
that du have anv monopoly In that
quarter, as let nt least"
"That's Just like jou, Grant, jiuttlnrj
jour oar In where you're not wanted."
"And how do jou know that I'm not
wanted? Not wanted by you, I admit;
but It Heenis to me that MIbs Morland
herself has some rlu'ht to be consulted
In this matter. 1 shall ask her."
"You v 111 do nothlnff so silly."
"Where's your lleht, my friend, to
dictate?"
"I shall not discuss the matter with
you, Grant. Everything points to my
b'lng accepted, and I Intend asking
.MIsh Morland before wo leave for Eng
land." "I'hovv, that's quick work. Do you
lear In mind that we start for home
the day ntter tomorrow?"
"Perfectly," and thereupon Lawrence
begun to walk somewhat faster than
Ihnv had been doing.
The other was, however, not to be
denied and strode after him.
"Look here, old man, there Is no use
quarreling about It. Huppose we both
tiy our luck. I, too, have made up my
mind to ask Miss Morland to be my
wife, and shall do ho before I leave,
that Is, unless I hear of your having
been accented. Let us toss up to de
cide who In to bo the first to ask her.
It strikes me wo are both somewhat
too previous,"
"Nonsense, I know better."
It was n cloudless dav in the high
Alps In early September. Two ladies
were seated under the veianda of a
hotel that from a height looked down
upon the long, narrow valley In front,
girdled as It was by snow -clad moun
tains and Intersected by a rapid gla-cler-fed
stream. The summer visitor
were daily taking lllght, for the even
ings were already frosty and cold and
some ominous flakes of snow had fal
len. On the further side of the alley
two pedestrians might be described
skirting the lower edge of the sombre
Pine-wood from which they had Just
emerged.
"There's Apollo and Mr. Grant," said
the younger of the ladles, a girl of
some eighteen summers.
"Ada, I do wish you would give up
that horrid habit ou have of nick
naming people."
"Why, mama, It is veiy appropii

so handsome. Apollo Uelvedeie we

"Somewhat too fipe, my deui. If It

"Oh, Ap , there, I beg pat don, it al

"Now do give up that levity for a
moment, Ada. I want to ask jou In
all seriousness which one of them is
to be. Your pap and I have been dis
cussing matters, and we both want to
know."
"And I must confess at once""
"Yea."
"Well, then, neither for three jeais

her, dear mamma. But, as the gentle
men themselves ate approaching,
hadn't we better change the subject""
"Presently, my dear, and If tho'-e

"You may suppose so of course I
almost think that I suppose so, too."
OLD-FASHIONED WOMEN,
Have a very natural prejudice against any
thing: that offends their fine sense of deli
cacy. And fbr that reason numbers of such
women have suffered In secret and in
silence the pangs and pains consequent on
the derangement or displacement of the
delicate organs of sex Any suffering to
them was better than the shame of ques
tions ana exam
inations which
probed modes
ty to its very
core But while
they could hide
their buffering:
they could not
conceal its rav
oges. The darfc
ening circles
beneath their
eves, the sallow
skin, the cheek
robbed of its
roundness, the
body shrunken
by wasting
flesh, all these
signs marked
the presence of
disease.

no time accustomed to "wear his

out further episode the gentlemen took
their leave and together returned to
their hotel

where, flanked on either side by ciags

U had been ananged that they should
make the descent into the adjoining
valley by way of the Stelfler Pass to
the village of Fluela. which they would

Indeed, with their experience In moun

eis from the hotel balconies could easily
descry them when they cleared the
wood and proceeded to make their way
ovei the grassy nccllvltleB on to the
moraine, and thence to the glacier.
Over this their com so was tolls-omo
and fllow. The sun's heat of the pte-
vlous day had slightly melted the .sui
face of the snow, only to have It ftoen

twent) yaids long, with the opposite

bound them togethei.
Half nt the distant e ovei the glacier
had been a( compllshed, when suddenly
the leading man slipped niul fell at a
steep pait of the descent Define Law
lent o had noticed it the loose lope had
become taut and In an instant he had
lost his footing nnd was following bin

moments latei and their paie had ac

at (list the motion was pleasant

his companion, who was somewhat In
fiont. bound off u hhelvlug mass of
btiow and then dlsappeai Next mo
ment he was caught In the same shelf,
burled to his shoulders, and felt him
self almost suffocated as the mpo
tightened mound his waist and chest
He was safe so far, but In deadly
peill, on the edge of u ctevasse, Into
the depths of which his companion's
weight was slowly diagglng him. To
seek to stay his downwind couise with
the help of his lee nxe, and devise some
means of rescue foi his fiiend, was the
one Imperative step that laybefoie him.
Hut that step, though he bltteilv ie
gietted it after, he did not take A
struggle of conflicting emotions, of part
filendshlp and piebent Jealousj, of
sympathy and despair, and In one
overwhelming moment of ciaven cow
aidlie he struck a blow at the tope

of the stinnds gave wa), but the other

at the invoking point Another blow,
a mutteied cuise, and again a wild
Ptroke, and then Lawience was fiee,
his safety was assured, with a sicken
ing feeling at neon that whispered to
him 'muiderer"
AVIthout entitling to peer over the
edge of the yawning chasm, he ciawl

spot, and slowly retraced his steps over
the glacier. He had presence of mind
enough to fray the i nds of the tell-tal.

diately despatched for the recovery of
the unfortunate Grant's body. It wntt
sunrlso of the next morning before they
teacneu mo tatat spot. Traces of tlio
tragedy vveio all too appaient on the
surface of the snow, but the Icy cavern
hid all else in Its depths, A man was
lowered, Ills face was ashy pale when
he wus drawn up, and It Was some
time eie he could speak.
"I slipped oft u ledge somo thirty
feet down," nt last he managed to say,
"and thought my last hour had come.
Nothing below that but two walls of Ice
as far us I could look. The fall would
kill hltn ut once."
"Those who nre living twentv years
hence will find his body at the foot of
the glacier," suld old Andicas Mettlcr,
the guide. "I lemcmber when u boy

found unchanged nftfr nil that time."
It was some dnvs ere I-avvrenco could
set oft for home. Thcte had been it
heavy fall of snow, and the mads wuo
blocked and nil traveling by diligence
stopped. His physical inndltlon would
not have allowed him to ventuie at
once o long a Journey, and his over
sitting nerves had glvni nvvav mm.
pletely. Nor did the manifest s)mpa.
thy of all about him help much to
recover his buoyancy of splilts. Ills
condition was aseubcd to grief for Ills
filend's loss, and in a lesser degtee t-i
Ills own Imminent tietll at the time of
the catastrophe. Hut totilil the sym
pathizes have lead the set lets of his

was a piey to hitler shame nnd the
grief It eng'ndeis. and that now his
fll"iid's fate nnd his ovn tieaeherv

On the evening befoie his depot tine,

to piess his suit with the unwitting
muse of hlH 1 1 line

It was New deal's moinlng, and
Law i em e was lingering over breakfast,
the paper propped upon the table In
fiont of him Lvlng among his letters
was a small box with foielcn post
niniks He opened It, wondeilng who
bed sent It. for the writing bore some
semblance to a hand he used to know
well. Wrapped In a sheet of a Florence
newspaper was a small piece of lope
that nnd nothing besides. One rncl was
cut straight ncioss, two strands of the

the third was komewhnt longer and was
not cut, It had evidently broken un

"His body hns been found," ho mut

CATCHING BEAR CUBS.
Amusing Methods Adopted by Hunt
ers in the Yellowstone Park.
Fiom tho San Francisco Chronicle.
The National Zoo at Wn?hington Is
supplied with many animals from the
Yellowstone National park, vvfio they
aie caught young. The park abounds
with all kinds of wild nnlmals and
blnls, fiom the haled and detested Eng
lish sparrow to the sly and cunning
mountain lion, but It Is unlawful to
hunt or molest them, excepting when
those delegated with authority capture
bears, elk, deer or swan, or other gay
ly feather birds for the zoo In the na
tion's capital. The capture of tho bears
It attended with much excitement. Thu
methods adoi-td aie so peculiar that
the) will cause many to stop and think
twice befoie they believe what they
i ead.
Tho cubs caught ore always round up
some compaiatlvely small tres, sleep
ing or icstltig on tho branches with
i heir mother. When espied by the
hunteis, who aie unarmed excepting
for a huge nx, a couple of leather col
lais and several pieces or rope, the
ill st thing done is to got rid of the
mother bear, who scented tho hunteis
long before tbev saw her or her little
ones. That Is not a dllfcult nor dan
geious task, but a veiy ludicrous ope,
full of fun and excitement. As a usu
al thing, one of the hunters climbs t
neaiby tiee, and aimed with a long
pole, which was cut by his companions
while he climbs the tuc, proceeds to
dislodge, the mother. This he does by
prodding her In the sides with the pole
which Is cut long enough to loaeu from
one ti eo to the other. The hist punch
or two usually causes the old hear to
hug the limb of the tiee upon which she
tests all the tighter, and dining the
time she rends the air with a pec ullat

It Is often the ease that she will beek

lenvlng her young up the tiee, which at
her departure lend the air with their

Then comes the dlfllcult and no less

This takes time, often consuming nn

curl themselves up In a ball, placing
their heads between their fiont paws,
It Is Impossible to do anything until
the sllente of the foi est gives them a
feeling of leassutnnce, nnd tbev poke
out their heads to view the situation.
It Is then that the hunter quietly nnd
dextetlouslv drops the noose over the
unsuspecting projecting bend and with
a quick Jerk draws It tightly around
his neck. The other end of the rope
Is quickly drawn over u limb, and poor
Mr Cub Is drawn from his perch, the
tightening noose shutting off his wind.
He Is diawn up sufllclently to clear the
limb upon which he lested. and then
he Is loweied to the giound, kicking
and squlinilng In mld-nli, uttering
gurgling sounds fiom bin wide-open

WHITE SLAVES IN HUNGARY
Peasants Harnessed to tho Plough.
Liko Beasts of Burden.
Trom tho London Mall.
Stephen Vnrkon)l, tho leader of tho
peasant's i evolution which convulsed
Hungary during the early months of
last year, has Just been sentenced to
one year's Imprisonment for high trea
son.
The movement which was Inaugurat
ed by Varkonyl was a revolt against
the remnants of serfdom which still
exist In some parts of Hungary. In
these districts each pexsant Is com
pelled to work fifty days In the year
for the land owner without pay.
These fifty days of compulsory labor
nre not successive, or nt fixed inter
vals, but when tho land owner has
work to bo done he sends a drummer
through the lllngc, and every male In
habitant is obliged to respond to the
summons.
Thereupon so many men architected
as are required. The land owner al
most Invariably exacts this labor In
the summer when the peasant's tlmo
la most valuable to him.
In summer tho peasant can earn as
much as one shilling a clay; Hi winter
not mote than fourpence or sixpence.
In winter the peasants nre compelled
to act as beateis in the magnates'
hunts for a wage of twopence a day.
The occupation Is a dangerous one, and
tho time Is not counted in tho annual
fifty days' compulsory labor.
The wives of the peasants nre re
quired to sweep and scrub the local
manor house once a wpek without pay
Finally, many land owners use the
peasants as beasts of burden, harness
ing four men to the plough instead of
two oxen.
Stephen Varkonyl, who Instigated the
revolt against these degrading condi
tions of lnbor, is a sort of Hungarian
Wat Tyler. He is the son of poor peas
ants, was educated In the farm yard
and giaduated In tho fields.
He Is quite a typical horny-handed
son of toil, is physically tall, stoutly
built, with plenty of chaiucter In his
shaggy head, and small eyes with
their suggestion of tho Mongolian silt,
and hns that rough kind of natural hu
mor that appeals to the simple peas
ant mind
Varkonyl, whose power over the agri
cultural population of his country Is
unbounded, Is one of tho most Interest

I am fifty-eight years old Tor several jears I had had indiRMtlon nnr! Tfrer
complaint and was very much troubled with constipation. I employed different
plibicians und tried diHerent medicines, but only received temporary relief. I
had to givo up my busincM cm account of my poor health, and just attend to tho
work on my small lot, and tliat was moro than I felt able to do. Early in Ui
Summer I sawan advertisement of Uipaiis Tabulea in tho Unfit County InttUtgtnttr,
1 did not ha much faith in them, but finally decided to givo them a trial,
and punhiwed a box and commenced tikiiiR tliem. Before I had taken half of
Jio Tabulcs I beRim to improve, and by the time I had taken all of them I was x
much improved that I felt liko another man. I liavo continued their uso, and I
am gaining daily in health and nrrength. Now I can do the work on my lot with
ease, where it tiwd to bo a burden to me. I can Bpcalc only in praiso of tho
Tabulea, and would recommend them to all persona who aro ailing.
