Thoro vere plenty of girls who
thought they would giro youth for
llvodne Rossveare's distinction. She
was 45, and made no sort of sierot of
tho fact, though sho wns single. But
thnt to be Blnglo and a celebrity tit
least puts mi old maid upon a level
with ii wife ho Is nobody, Is ono of
the best results of the way we live
now She was an artist, nnd had
painted the picture of tho year. What
wns much better, she had dignified her
subject with u treatment that made It,
In its vay, a mnstei piece. Only a wo
imn sewing on a coarse shirt bv the
light of a dim cnndle, "The Slave" had
nil tho golden qualities of a gieat til

with distinct "nthfact'on and a feeling
that her name would look" well In tho
in luted accounts of It: alo the clo
set Iptlon of the beautiful pansy-colored
velvet gown she was wearing. She had
come to chaperone a pietty, newly en
gaged niece, knowing that the task
would be easy enough. The newly en
gaged onlv asked n leallv secluded cor
ner, and these succeeded at once In
enseonslng themselves behind a big
palm They talked thcie for three
bonis, for thev were bid dancei.'. What
thv said would hao been dull enough
If nny one cUv hrd ovei heard It. To
themselves it was a veiltable cpitomo
of Mil nnd wisdom.
Miss Ilosevcnte bad mauv fi lends,
but, rather to her lellef, thej were not

She, toe, wanted Isolation, and atter u

In one of the many splendid looms
tluown open for sitting out, dimly
lighted with "haded lamps, and fra
grant with .coft yellow roses. It wm
the first time for yeais that she had
been away fiom home on June 18th.
It was one of two or three seeiet annl
veisaiits that she dedicated to a time
before he had become famous 01 lone
ly. Ince the death of her widowed
motKr, when she was .'G, she had 11 ed
nnd woiked Independently. Tho woild
at huge used to express a wonder she
had never mnnled, till It giew tired of
the subject. Theie were two or three
nit n who privately acknowledged her
as theh reason for being bachelor,
but people had never linked her name
with theirs. Time aie a few women

Sin- was content, een happy. Ex-
pt now and then, when June came
b.u k with waim. sou nights, and that
all which Is lull of olces. Her utory
was simple to baldness. Not In the
h ist fitted to make a novel, far less a
poi'iii, in Its hackneyed lack of fiesh
ip.ituit'f. She had taken a ft lend for
lii! Then Just as he gave the first
laint but unmistakable signs, the news
a me to her that for yeais he had been
bound to another and an Infeilor wo
man 'ihf had tuated her Ioo with stein
ib i Mon. She had snapped the tie oven
t their filendslilp, broken It asunder
without a woul of explanation. Bettor
an pain to heiselt than the petpetual
l nimso of h.i ing blighted another wo
man's life. That she dated not face.
Her fiiinness had the natural tesult.
Mi phpn Haheie had married and sllp
pfd below his natural level to that of
hlis wife. It so often huppens, and It
happened In this Instance. He had
Ik on a painter of singular power and
l innilse when Evadne was but a hatd
w oi king ait student who betrayed
email signs of futuio eminence. "A
man who was sure to succeed, a gill
who was unlikely to do much." That
was the veullct of the woild when they
were young. Fate had leversed tho
ludgment, Haheie letrogiaded; Ev
adne, taught by ait, loe and sonow,
ti luinphed.
Hut theio had been ono night of utter
happiness for her before she knew the
tiuth. Theie had been one ball, one
only, when they had danced together
for the first time and tho last. She had
worn hellotiopp from the old gaulen
She woio It now, among her flashing
diamonds. The .scent wafted her back
to that other June. Long ago? Theie
Is no long ago for a woman's heait.
She could recall oveiy Incident of that
night, the gioups of dancei s, the per
fume of lluweis She sat theie alone
witli only the thiobbing pulse of tho
alse rising and falling with melan
choly o.idencen. Susan Prothemo's
nleit, long-sighted eyes weie upon her,
and through the open door she made
a sketch of the well-shaped head with
Its faultlessly arranged masses of giay
hair, so th.it its plctuiesqueness was
not ciulto wasted.
Hndne wnb not thinking of herself.
Slip was wondering If Stephen weie
still nllplf he were happy If be
were much changed. She had no idea
that sorrow and l enunciation had put
Into her own faco something rarer
than beauty. She who had not been
called pietty In her girlhood was much
ndmlred now. Gray hair Is fashion
able, and pei feet dress Is such an Im
portant help to a reputation for good
lookM. Sho thought that those quiet
p pilings in her own studio sho had
tenderly dedicated to gentle lomtm
brances of a dead Joy had had none
of tho bitterness that gave the old
pain a new quality tonight. Perhaps
she had been too much with the silly
young lovers who had rushed in a
particularly hopeless engagement which
really ought to have been frustrated.
It was her punishment for being too
lenient to her nieces. Bv and by vhc
would be dlscoveied and sent in to the
supper, for which sho had no Inclina
tion; then sho would go home. It
was so hot and ho over-perfumed, a
discord of scents for fresh Iloweis and
Bond street odois do not commingle.
Tho evening seemed endlessly long,
and theie was no clock In the room.
The band was playing an air that,
though It did not date back to her
past, had a decided resemblanco to
one she had cause to lemembcr. She
had never danced since that ball to
which Stephen had accompanied
them. Her mother's death had the
pathetic Pdvantnso of giving her an
excuse for withdrawing fiom society
for a very long time. When she came
back It wns as a quiet spectator. She

of eniuutlds and a fiou-fiou of tho
co' tllest of sneelallv designed hioeade.
Thene was a man with htr, pain and

unaceustomednes'i about his diess and

impulse Just to glance again at what
he had left eaia ago had made him
ncccpt n chance Imitation. He 1 egret
ted it. His wife had not been dead
many months. He had imagined that
death would have come to him first. It
had come to the woman he had learned
to mato because of the sordid petti
ness of naturu that had at last almost
giound him down to Its own pattern.
Illusion, ambition, had fallen awnv llko

dead-leel mediocrity. Ho who, at 23,

Mrs. Theslger, who wns too good
natured ever to be likely to rllmb very
high on tho social ladder, had found
htm vaguely wandering nmoug tho
palms, and suggested that ho should
take some one In to supper.
"Mr. rtaheie Miss nosoveaie," that
Is how these meetings occur today.
Evadne had In former yeais been ex
pectant of such a ohanco encounter It
had never come, and she h id not for
a long time itgarded it is likely She
hod known him once, and had seen
with u sense of pain, moro poignant
than any he had ever cost her, thut the
young lover of her girlish ureama was
as dead ns the roses she had worn onco
upon a time. Failure was wiltten on
his face. Tim eyes that had Hashed
with hopo and passionate determina
tion to do something that should bo
remembered wer nulet nnd dull now.
It was tho face of a not very much
Interested spectator In tho comedy of
errois wo call life. The thought ot
her own buv wot Id her art, her fame,
her manv ithnd. smote her with a
bitter --ense of conlinst He lnd had
nidi a statt in the lace, jet she had
so cntltcly distanced him.
They bowed in silence Hvadne with
a grace that had become natuial to
her, Stephen with a touch, of rlumI
ms, A moment later they were nlono.
nvadne lose ironi her seat nnd stood
under tho waim radiance of a tall
shndu lamp. .She wns beautiful as she
spoke, and her voice had always been
her chief charm.
"Hae you foigotten me In all thepo
yen is?"
Then, and not until then, he recog
nized her. Ho held out his hand; her
own ttembled as she took It.
'Stiangi' that we should meet at a
ball."
Ho spoko in tho most matter-of-fact
tone possible, but It was an assump
tion. It dpcched Evadne. She put an
air of icsetvo Into her net question.
"I hopo your wife Is well and your
child or, prehaps, jou have otheis
now?"
Her voice, her smile, hoi- delicate
distinction hurt him. It made him
feel that a gulf ot well. spent jeais
lolled between them and fet up a
barrier.
"My wife has been dead ten months.
My one child died eais ago."
"I am sony. Suclt soriows as those
must bo teirlble."
She had xesumed lir seat and he'
ntood beolde her, 111 at ease. Then
ho said, with a touch of satlto that
had wounded her sometimes when It1
touched her unsuccessful work: I
"Do not waste your compassion. My I
marriage was not fortunate. I sup-
poe I deserved my fate." Ho mopped
short.
"You loved her once," she t?ald wist
fully, pained by tho laugh with which
ho ended.
"i'or a nttio wiuie, prehaps. I gavel
my word. I kept it. It cost me neatly ,
twenty enrs purgntoiy. You, perhaps.
never guessed It, but there wns a time
yo-u might have delivered me."
"By tempting you to dishonor, ruin
ing another woman's happlneps to use
tho wreckage as a foundation for my
own. You did not understand me weil
enough to know It was Impossible."
Something In her dignity brought
him back an echo of jouthful eagei
ness. He had once been bold. His
awkward reserve fell away befote her
clear gaze.
"Then, piehaps, you loved me onco
after all?"
She looked up at htm without flinch
ing. "Yes, I loved ou with all my soul."
She had neer thought to speak tho
words aloud, thought they weie so
smartlngly familiar to her heait, Sho
spoke them now ns If her dead self
weie speaking to another chost.
"And jet Miu let nit do that thing,
knowing all the while mj heait was
JOUls."
r.ndiio diew heiself proudly up
"You lorgct. You never spoke of
love to me."

"If I caied! Stephen. You know T
loed jou fiom the Hist, but I ilaied
not do this thing. I measuied her
loe bv mine "
Stephen laughed contemptuously.
HI had alwais been an exacting na
tine, and now that he almost felt hate
for this woman with her ilch velvet
and her Jewels beailng witness that
she had stormed the citadel he had
deselted. Tonight tho music and tho
youth about him made him kick
against the pilcks. It might have been
so dlftetent. He did not say it might
have been otherwise If Stephen Ualieio
hail not battel ed nit for a pair of
blue- eyes, nut if Hvadne Ttoseveare
had acted otheiwlse sho might have
made him crent If she had sat at his
feet and done him homage. Ho was
angry with her, and his apathy liad
kindled a little.
To be disillusioned now, to lie iobbe-1
of the hero ho had worshipped to
long, It capped the climax of her mls
foitune This pettish raller against the
fato he had com ted was not the Steph
en of her girlhood. Ho had laughed
at her conceptions of nit, told hr sho
was dimming, but not ix painter and
now?
She did not speak angilly. but very
sadly when sho broke a painful silence.
"You paint still?"
"Paint! I have not touched a brush
for j ears. Love In a cottago was not
at all my wife's Ideas. Her uncle hnd
a concern. Ho was patentee, of the
Kmerln varnish. 1 got a desk lit hU
oitlce and, in time, a Junior, very Ju
nior, paitncrship."
There were tears In rvndne's ej-os
when she spoke next Thev ero for
the nrtist that was lost, not for the
man who had bartered fnmo tor a ehav
In a concern. She hncl sttuggled, well
nigh staivcct; dltllcultlrs and barrlets
hud mot her at eveiy turn. Yet she
had attained: nay much more than
inre success sho had been tried In
tho ilie anil had come out puio gold.
Theio woie lonely women who blessed
her name and whlfpeied it in their
pt.ij'eis.
As she stood there she found herself
flinging off her part na If it weie a
cloak. Sho had dreamed a dream, and
she had awakened. Kupposo rhe had
man led Stephen and given up her art?
ThankHslvJng for the woiU done, tho

She stood In unlet thought
In Stiplnn's unaccustomed eves she
was beautiful and a sudden mail eag

"Ye h ive changed place"," he liutvt
out. "When we parted jou were onlj"
a struggling student; 1 was a man
whoso two or iluee pictures had their
admirers. People laughed at me for
nn Impressieulsl, but tlu-y all said I

Now jou are beautiful and qr.cpuly and
fnniouo You au some ono; I am no

The waltz musk filled the pauses
w 1 tli Its dreaioj swei mess. Two happy
jotttig people pasted the d-oiway
1 laughing. The pair within glanced at
them iuvoluntailly. Evadne was In n
teveiie, and Stephen's words sounded
vague and far olf. No appt.il could
touch hei.
I "Have j'ou no pity for inc. no i egret
, that an old filend has djlfted back to
jour foot a failure? Kvaclne. saj- again
that you loved iw once. I love j'ou
now."
There wns passion In his voice: j-et It
was sc.ucely leal love, this nfteimath
or the harven of othei years. Only ho
longed to be again in the blight woild
he had left m long ago, and her hand
held the Ue.
"It Is too late, Stephen; I havo no

tho man that was Is sacred still; It Is

"Auntie, are you icady to go yet'

get up lo sen him off."
The itiloiiuptlon was sudden, and the
rosj, dailt-haltcd newcomer hnd Jack
with her. Kvadno held nut her hand,
that was quite steady now, without a
woul; the diotus of the band spoko
for them: ' Hid me good-by and go."
She swept awnv with that legal air ho
had not seen IWoip, There were some
dead heliotrope flowms where sho
stood and Itnheio stooped and picked
them up. Ho looked veiy grave and
old. The last spatk ot fire had burned
out of his ejes; they were dull and
nnken again. His companion, tho
pale spirit that whispers, "It might
'have been," had taken Ev mine's place
beside him. Tho waltz was over, anu
he went ou into tho white dawn.

playfully suggests that 'evidently the
thing to do is for evetvonp to become
a Christian scientist and Ilimly be
lieve that no such disease as the
gtlppo exists." The fact is. however,
that the disease has been known and
described from the time of Hippo
crates who was hoi n In the j-onr 4C0
I?. C , nnd, though Its name has been
changed at various (periods, it has
alwajK been a form of epidemic ca
tairh, more or less seveie, according
to circumstances. In 1510 It was called
"coccoluche," because the sick wore a
cap oliiv over their heads After
ward the Italian phjslclans named It
"influens'a," and in later j'eais the
French doctois gave it the name of ' la
gilppe," though It seems best to re
tain the Piendi spelling of the word
when meaning this disease, so as to
distinguish it from other gtlps. It Is
known all over the world, and theie
Is a deposition In every nation to
shift the odium of It upon some other
countiy. Thus the Husslans call It
the Chinese catanh, tho Geimans
often call It tho Russian pest, the Ital
ians namo it the Geiman disease, and
tho Fiench call It sometime tho Ital
lan fever and sometimes1 the Spanish
catn h.
Tho occuttence of grippe, as well as
of most other epidemics, Is appaientlv
connected with soma particular condi
tion or contamination of tho atnio

what may be that kind of contamina
tion, no ono knows. The poisonous

whllo Its progreEU seems influenced by
the season ot the year, whether hot,
cold, damp or temperate; it Is said to
travel fiom east to west, and it seldom
stajs in one district moio than six
or seven weeks. Some visitations
have proved mote seveie than otheis;
one In 1782, which extended over tho
whole of Huiope. wiih very fatal; but
nt another tlmu when It taged all over
Europe, and was said to havo not
missed a family, and scatcelj' a per
son, none died, except somo children.
When It broke out In London In 1847,
it appeared In a single day over every
part of that great city, nnd affected
upward of 500,000 persons.
In December, 1889, theio was an epi
demic of gilppe In the city of New
York, said to havo been "caused by
germs convejed in a letter from Rus
sia which was received by a patient
of an eminent uptown physician." That
epidemic lanted six weeks and was ex
tremely severe, resulting in UundTecLs
of deaths. In March, 1891, It broko
out jgain, and continued eight weeks,
nnd the Registrar of the Board ol
Health saj-s: "While it was less Impet
uous in its attack and less speedj In
its culmination, its mora protracted!
duration made It the molt fatal of all
the epldemlo wo havo had. Stnco
1S91 the severltj of the disease Jias
been gradually declining, although
mote ot less prevalent eveiy year. The
largest number of deaths from Influ
enza. In New York in any ono year?
since 1891 was in 1S05. In 1896 thera
was a decided l emission, but an In
crease again In 1S97. In 189S, up tl
the ptesent time there have been Xewep
deaths than in anj previous year einca
the disease first appeared."
Piofessor Noithnagel, of Vlennn,
who tnado a special study of tha
gilppe, made a leport in 1892, In -which
he said that the malady was mias
matic, Infectious and contagious, and
declnied that no specific remody wan
known, though the sufferers1 might ba
relieved somewhat bj various drug?.
As to treatment, tho Now York Boaad
declined to make any suggestions, not
deeming It safe to glva any general
prescilptlon, because "the disease
takes many different forms, and each
form should bo treated specifically."
One phj'slclan is candid enough to say
frankly that "while drugs may help
to relieve the suffering, the best cure Is
a week spent in bed."
