It w ss coiiffiderably nearer 2 than ii was 1 o'clock when Huntington reacl ed Twenty-first street and went up the stone stejw of Xo. 11. Political stuff had been coming in heavily all day, aud, as the loys at the office said, "Mr. Eryau was ftill speakiug," so the full force, literary men and all had been kept bu-y till the paper went to pre. Nowand then Huntington liked a thing of that kind. The work and the bustle, the stir and anxiety of a "rush night," seemed to stimulate him. It remind ed him of old times when he was glad enough to lie in the rush or to any kind of assignment. Those were the things that had helped hint to what he was, aud he liked to be reminded of them. Hut it chanced that just that particu lar night of all others he hadn't want ed to stay at the office and tift tele grams and write heads. What he had wanted to do was to go to the Tremont Ford's ball out on Fifty-seventh street. Huntington had gotten beyond the point of denying eveu to himself that lie wanted to go fc the Tremont-Ford's simply and solely because Helen Tre vor would le there, and because he should see her dancing though he might not dance with her himself. In fact, he had reached the pointof believing that the only person in the world worth see ing was Helen Tievor, the only thing worth caring for was her love. Hunli'igton had believed this for a much longer time than lie knw, but he iiad not realized it with the full strength of conviction till two months ago, when be had learned from Heleti herself that the thing he most cared for was the thing he could never posses. He was thinking of this as he had never ceased to think of it for one nio meut since he realized it, with pain and longing, and wishing he might have seen her that night with the fresh color on her checks and the sweet light in her eyes; wishing he might have beard the soft rui-tle of her silken gown and caught a whiff of the rose she was wearing in her smooth, big-coiled hair. Whose roses was she wearing, Hunt ington wondered as he pushed his latch key in the outer door. Perhaps it wa that that made him push the door shut again with considerably more force than was necessary; perhaps it was that that made him give the knob a wrench with his strong, firm baud as the bolt slipped home. There was another click beside the clicking of the llt, aud when Huntington drew his hand away the knob came with it. The fierce wrench had been -too much for the rusty screws. "Confound people who won't keep their houses in repair," he eaid crossly, as he tossed the knob dextrously through the narrow pane in the tran som overhead. He listened to hear the bolt strike the cobble-stones in the street without, and, from a sharp little jingle that accompanied the thud of the heavy knob, realized that he had thrown his latch-key along with it. "Confound me for an idiot," he said, liughing at the predicament he had p'.actd himself in. It was not exactly a laughing matter, though, to be caught at that hour of the night between the inner aud the outer doors of a quiet boarding house, and with no means of opening either. Having no latch-key, of course it was impossible for him to open the inner doer, aud with no latch-knob on the outside door it was equally im possible for him to open that and ring the bell, or better still, go to a hotel for the rest of the night. With thought of a man's ona re source in a case of emergency, Hunt ington felt in his trouser's pocket for hia knife only to remember that one of the new men at the oflice had borrow ed it and forgotten to return it He got out his ring of keys and jingled them impotently, knowing it was im possible for any one of them to find a purchase iu the thin slit of the httch lock. This reminded him of his envelope-opener, and he tried its slim silver blade in the keyhole, but it went all the way through meeting no resist ance. Clearly that, too, was a failure. He waited awhile hoping something would turn up; that some longer be lated boarder might come in, or that he kh uld hear someone stirring with in. Neither was very likely to occur, he reflected, and he felt it would have been next to impossible to make him self heard, even if he had been willing to arouse the inmates by pounding with bis knuckles on the door. The sleeping rooms were all upstairs, and nothing short of an explosion could arouse the servants in the basement. The boy had been known to sleep through the ringing of the door bell on more than one occasion, though the gong sounded directly over his bead. Clearly Huntington realized that thTe was nothing for him to do but remain a prisoner in the vestibule till the ser vants opened the doors in the morning. SOMERSET, PA., Tne prospect was not a very cheerful one, but Huntington remembered things that had been worm, and resign ed himself to his fate with the best grace possible to a tired man who had learned to appreciate the blessings of creature comfort. He did not know whether to be sorry or glad of the broken pane in the trausom. "It no doubt kept the entry from being bluffy, but it was "an eager and a nipping air' that made its way in through the opening. As he snuggled down into a corner on the floor, pulling his overcoat collar up about his throat preparatory to making a try at least for a little sleep, Huntington was reminded of the night he had spent on bench near the foun tain in Madison Square. It was a long time ago now the first night he had come to New York. He had had only fifty cents in his pocket when he got off the ferry at the foot of Desbrosses street, not enough to pay for a night's lodging and breakfast iu the morning, so he had made his way up Uroadway and epectthe night ia the Park. The next moriug he got a square meal at a little restaurant around ou Fourth ave nue, and wrote the story of his night out, putting iu a pretty good fake about a pair of j-parrows that had spent the night iu his coat pockets out of sym pathy for his loneliness, sold the story to tlie Sun, and well, his fortune was not made exactly, but he slept indoors that night, and had continued to do so thereafter. The fortune a moderate one came gradually, and with a more than ordinary degree of fame. Huntington was thinking of these things as he sat there in the chill of the eutry, waiting for sleep to come to his tired eyes, but the dull aching of his heart made him ask himself what it was all worth, the struggle aud the tus sle, the fame aud fortune, since they had not given him the greatest thing in the world the love of the one wo man whom he had loved. For the hundredth for the thousandth time, perhaps, during the past two months he set himself calmly to review the matter, hoping to discover in what par ticular he had failed, wnerein he had fallen short Huntington had passed beyond the years of youthful impetu osity; he was a man, w ith all of a man's clearness of judgment, and his good sense placed him beyond the reach of vanity; but, consider the matter as he would, his thoughts still brought him back to the same starting point, Helen Trevor did not love him simply be cause she did not love him. That is what he had told himself at first, and he had said at the time it was 'only a woman's reason;" but the more be thought about it the more convinc ed hid lie Ijecome that it was a very comprehensive as well as a very com prehensible reason. Helen did not love him, aud was honest enough to say so, not beating about the bush for excuses which meant the same thing, no m.-ttter how they might sound. Huntington had met Heleu Trevor three years before at a country house) party up in the Catskill. 8he was a debutante that season, and Hunting ton always remembered her as he saw her first, standing in a little bit of rus tic archway one early morning. There were morning glory vines tangled above her head, and she held one of the rosy trumpet flowers between her lips. He had loved her even then; loved her fresh beauty that showed in her sway ing, lithe figure and her clear gray eyes. He never saw morning-glories after that without thinking of her, as he never saw her without thinking of them, graceful glories of the morning, with gentle, delicate "K-auty swelling in their throats. He had seen a rreat deal of her dur ing the house p rty days, and after wards when she came to town for the season. .She had not lacked for admi rers. Most of them were younger men than Huntington, aud some of them were very good fellows. Huntington had watched the suit of two or three of them with interest, never quite decid ing why they had fai'ed, with their money, birth, position and character t back them. There are some thing that a man never quite understands, and chief of those is a woman's reason. The better the man, too, the less he un derstands in this matter. But this U neither here nor there. Huutingtou watched Helen closely as the week went by, telling himself he was under standing her very well. She was young aud did not know her own mind yet ; he was going to give her time. He felt, as if it would not be quite honorable t show his own baud too soon; it would be taking advantage of her youth and inexperience. "Better let her have her swing," lie j had said. "If she likes me I II keep; but it may be one of those younger fel lows, and I don't want tu stand in her way." So be had taken a back seat, as be called it, but in spite of the admiration that was showered upon her Huuting tou felt that she had been very good tn him. She had fouud time to read bis books and learn his songs and hear the operas that he liked. She did not break engagements for him he did not want that she should but now and then he would find a blank on her card if be came in late at a ball, and she would tell him she thought be would be com ing. Once or twice of a quiet Sunday morning she had risen early to walk with him out to the Cathedral to hear the music, or maybe down to Trinity or Grace church, and she would seeni so joyous and so bright on these little outings, filling his whole week with gladness. Once Huntington had fan cied these little acts of kindness n.ight mean that Helen loved him. He bad thought so very strongly the jrear she was abroad when now and then at long intervals he would get a little note from her, written on thin, glazed hotel paper telling in a few short sentences where she was and what she was doing. Usually the note would wind up with something like this: "I went to-day to the little church you told me about I send a leaf front the vine that grows over the chancel window, just to remind you of your own visit here. The singing was doubt less very fine, and I dare say you wilt think me beyond the pale if I tell yon erset ESTABLISHED WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1 9. 1898. the music at Grace charch that early morning last March was much sweet er." "The child loves me," Huntington had said to himself then, and after a letter like this had come several times he wrote to her and told her he loved her and asked her to be his wife. He remembered the letter, every word of it, just as he had written. He had re called it a hundred times, wondering if there could be any doubt in her mind as to its full meaning. It was the first real love letter he had ever written, and he told himself it was a perfectly straightforward one. He be gun by telling his love for her, very simply, but very forcibly, he thought "I don't nifan to whlue about it and make her love me out of pity," he said as he wrote. He said that, while he had loved her from the first moment he saw her, he had not told her before, not wishing to coerce her affection or prejudice her choice. He said he had not meant to write this to her, had not meant to tell her so soon, wishing her to have full liieriy to select with all the world befoie her wherein to choose, but that something in her little letters had made him very happy because they made him feel that she was not altogeth er indifferent to him. He fold her, however, not to hurry nbtut replying to his question. He was willing to wait, leaving her perfectly free, and tiiat even after she replied, if she did not feel quite satisfied or if she met any man whom she thought she could love more, she must not hesitate to write that she had beeu mistaken. There was not very much more of the letter, except that it wound up by telling his age, some little facts about his family, and the amount of his property. On the whole, it was what Hunting ton called a very sensible letter. He felt that he had dealt very fairly by Helen, deferring to her judgment and discretion rather than overpowering her affections. He knew that was not the ordinary way of treatiug women, bdt he knew also that Heleu was no or dinary woman, and he told himself that he admired her great good sense as much as he loved her sweet womanli ness. Though he had told her she need not hurry with a reply to his question the next steamer brought him a letter from Helen. It was rather a longer letter than lie had ever had from her, written upon some other thin, glazed hotel pa per and in her same lirm, black chirog- raphy. She began by thanking Hunt ington for his goodness to her always, but especially for his love for her. She spoke of his offer as a compliment far beyond her expectation or her deserts. Other men had asked her to marry them, she said, but his a-king was dif ferent He was not like other men to her ; he seemed in so many ways high er and lietter than they. Ou the whole, it was an odd sort of letter, such as he had never fancied her writiug, and it puzzled him not a little. Kut her refusal of him was direct enough. He had no trouble in under standing. "I am sorry," she had writ ten, "if anything I have ever said or done has led you to believe that I loved you. If I have done this, pray forgive me. I never intended it, aud much as I value your regard, your friendship, I could never think of becoming your wife." Yes, Huntington had understood that part of the letter clearly enough, and he thought he understood the conclu sion, which read : "Perhaps I shall write you before long that I have met a man whom I intend to marry." "It must be young March," Hunt ington had thought "I know he has followed her to Europe. Ood grant he may be worthy of her." It was this thought that made h'm send Helen the answer that he did, try ing to be very brave and magnanimous, resigning his hope of her as an anchor ite might have done. And that had been the end of it, as far aa she was concerned, be told himself. He fan cied she would be very happy with March, and he fancied himself grow ing old without her. He was going to be very good to her al -ays to her and her children aud he told himself he must keep her from findingout bow he lov-d her. He would make a brave fight and he would be very manly and honorable. There are 6ome men who never know that it is not always best to be what they call "manly and hon orable." But this is what Huntingdon meant to do. There was to be no whining; be would not let the world know that it had ceased to move for him. He had bis life to live, and be must make up his mind to live it alone. This is what he told himself when Helen's letter came, aud this is wtat be had told himself every day since, but every minute of every hour since be had told himself that he could not doit Now that he knew that he must do it, it seemed harder than ever, and it seemed hardest of all that evening a week ago now when he walked into the little boarding house diniog room and saw Helen and her mother sitting at the round table by the window. "You? Here, in New York, and in thli portiou?" he had said, going over to them at once. "Ye, at last," the girl said, putting her band in his, and lookiug up at him quite frankly. "We have just landed, you know, and as we are going South for the winter mother and I concluded we would not open the house just for a few days." "Only for a few days?" he asktd. "Then when are you leaving?" "In a week," she said. "We only wanted to stop for a glimpse of friends. I am glad to see you among the first We bad hardly hoped to. I did not know you lived here." "Yes," he said, absently. "Only for a week, and you have engagements every day, perhaps." "Yes," she answered, "I am afraid so. There were so mauy men on the steamer, you know." "March was one of them, p3rhap?" "Yes." So be had not been mistaken, Hunt ington told himself. Yes, the struggle had been hardest after that How he had gotten through the week he never knew. And now was come the last day of It. lie had ! j 1827. ( scarcely spoken to Helen after that first evening, mere uaa ueen oniy an oc casional glimpse of her going and com ing, aud that morning when he had written her a note asking if she would be good enough to save him a dance at the Tremont-Ford's she had written bat k that she was afraid she would not be able to do so because of the men on the steamer whom she had promised. She said, too, that in the event of her not seeing him, she would just bid him good-bye for herself and her mother. She would leave New York by an early train the next morning. It was the hope that after all she might have remembered him and saved him a dance just for old time's sake that spurred Huntington all day; it was the knowledge that he had lost even the chance of seeing Helen again before she left that hurt him. He was thinkiug of this as he fat there iu the littleentry ; thinking that he could not give her up; thinking that he should like to have a chance to make one more effort at winning her before it was too late ; thinking on and on till by and by he fell asleep. When his eyes closed he went on dreaming aliout her, and, presently, when the sound of a key iu the outer door awakened him he started up, feel ing in a vague, half-conscious sort of way that it was Helen coining. "Goodnight" He heard the voice, her voice, and the door opened slowly, letting her into the dim, half-light "Helen !'' be cried, staggering for ward ; his feet aud limbs were numb with cold aud tlie long confinement "You P' the girl cried, shrinking away from him, suddenly slumming the door behind her. The horrible sig nificance of her tone struck Hunting ton's quick ear. "I am not drunk," he said, with a laugh, "though I don't wonder that you thought so. 1 simply wrenched the knob from the outer door and in tossing it over the transom sent my key along with it I should prolmLly have been here all night if you had not come to rescue me. I am glad of the impris onment, however, siuce it has given me an opportunity to say good-bye to you at least" He spoke quite calmly, and the girl waited. "If you will let me," she said, hold ing out her hand, "I shall open the door for you." "Oh," she said, and there was a strange sort of intonation to her voice, "aud I have left my key iu the latch outside !" Huntington's heart gave a sudden bound; then the thought of the ua pleasantuess of the situation for her made him ashamed of himself. "Then we ore both prisoners," be said, gently ; "but day Is breaking, and the servants will soon open the doors. Do you think you can hold out until then if I fold my coat into a seat fur you over there in the corner?" "Is there no possible way of getting in?" Helen asked. "No," he said, "I am afraid not, un til morning. But it can be arranged without any trouble theu. The l-oy will open the door before the other ser vants are out, aud I can take him up stairs to carry my coat." "Thank you," she said. He h id not told her that she could get to her own room before the boy came down, but she understood. Heleu wondered her s ?lf at her own calm acceptance of the situation, but somehow she felt as if h inn or fear of harm could never come to her again. "I am afraid you will lc cold with out your coat," she said, as Huntington folded it for her. "No," said be, "I shall be right as a trivet" He folded bis anus and stood leaning in the corner opposite, looking down at her. Somehow he felt strangely at peace with all the world. All the pain and longing of the post two months hid rolled away, aud at last he was happy. He felt perhaps as the dying Christian feels who kisses for the last time the blessed crucifix. To-morrow, in a few hours, Helen would be gone away from him forever, but now she was there beside him, so close that he might reach out aud touch her hand. For a long time the two were silent, a silence that w-emed somehow strange ly vocal. But by and by they fell to talking. He asked her about Europe, about her travels, and almost before lie knew it they were talking about old times, the first days of their meeting, the walks they had taken together, the books they had read, aud suddenly day light was peeping in over the transom. Somethiog else was happening, too. Without on the steps was the sound of a heavy step and a thick voice. 'It is old Mason coming home a little later than usual," said Huntington. "Get up and put my coat about you. It is darker than your dress, and he will not see you in the shadow." "Losht my key," ejaculated the voice without 'So he will not disturb us," said Helen. 'Perhaps he will ring the bell," Huntingdon said. "No, here 'tis in key -hole,? and a clumsy hand thrust in the key and the owner stumbled' within the entry. Huntington stood before Helen, fend ing her, but old Mason was too far gone to see. He managed to slip the key in the next bolt, however, and stagger ed through t he door. 'Now," whispered Huntington. thrusting bis foot into the opening, as the old man swung the door back aud stumbled up-stairs. "Now you may " Huntington be gan again, standing aside to let Helen pass him. But in that sudden moment the strange sense of peace seemed slip ping from him, and his love rose up and conquered him. "No, I can not let you go," he cried, taking her in his arms and folding her close to him. "Oh, love of my life, I can not give you up without telling you. I fling my manliness and my honor to the winds. Though you are pledged to another, were you married ten times over, I should tell you just the same. I love you, I love you. If you bad gone away in the morning I shculd never have told you ; but now I as'i you to remember thro igh good eraio and evil, through sunshine and through storm, there is one nian who loves you ami who will love you forever. Protn-i-ie me you will remember," he said, unfolding his arms, aud holding her away from him. "I shall not be apt to forget when it is the only thiug in the world I care to retneniber," the girl said, softly, turn ing her face up to his. "Helen !" he cried, joyously. "Yes," she said, very softly. But he heard, for her head was on his breast. "And you are not to marry March ?' "No." "And you do love ine?" "I have loved you always." "Then Mhy did you write me that letter?" he cried. The girl laughed softly. "Some time I shall tell you, she said, "but just now I must say good-night and go up stairs and tell mother we need not go South after all." "My love," he said, reverently, and stood aside with bowed head to let her pass. The Cog's Baik. As to barking, there are different sorts of barks, the meaning of taeh of which is well known. For example, there is the barking that at eight is meant to call the master's attention to the fact that some burglar, or otherevil-doer, is hovering around the premises. When I hear my I.andster Newfoundland, or my splendid St Bernard giving warn ing iu this way, I turn on niy other side, and do but sleep the sounder, well knowing that no evil-der would dare to enter my premises, cr even iny grounds. Some years ago every house inTy ford was entered by burglars except my own. With jimmies they had already op.neda lower window of my villa, when they hail to fly! The bark of warning has doubtless descended through long generations from the days when wild dofi hunted iu packs, and it was then as useful in recalling strag glers as the bugle of a regiment. Next there is the bark of joy, when a dog, for instance, meets again a kind aud loviug muster, who may have been absent a few days. No mistaking this. It is the bark of pleasure and excite ment There is another sort of bark, which one often hears as the hounds pa-s, in full chase, after a por unhappy d.er. The wild nature of the bounds finds full play now, and this 6emi-bark, semi-howl, Ls music to the so called sportsmen that follow up behind. Who does not know, and whose heart has not bled to hear, the melancholy whine or "yap-yap" of the poor dog that is constantly kept on chain? Great er cruelty than this it is impossible to toucvive. A dog so lovts freedom, but here he is, chained to a barrel, his only companions the slimy slugs. He sees the glad sunshine sparkling on the trees aud bushes, but be cannot bask in its rays, as those other dogs do that pass him daily, so contented aud happy. His bedding is scant and damp; his food is neglected; and his drop of water is slime in summer and frozen iu winter. Our Animal Friends. The Greatest Discovery Yet. W. M.

Ex perimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King's New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as in it we have a certain and sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc." It is idle to experiment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you as just as god as Dr. King's Ne Discovery. They are not as good because this remedy has a record of cures and besides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at J. N. Snyder's Drugstore, Somerset, Pa., aud O. W.

You may renietnUr the advice that we gave you in Chat, a year or so ago, alKiut drinking a glass of water every niht, just before going to bed. litre's something of a similar nature from the Youth's Companion: When it is considered that the body is made up very largely of water, it can readily be understood how important to health is a const-nt surply of this fluid. Many people have a notion that the drinking of water in any quantity beyond that actually necessary to quench thirst, is injurious, and acting ou this liclk f they endeavor to driuk as little as possible. The notion, however, is wide of the truth. Drinking freely of pure water is a most eflleacious means, not ouly of prest rving health, but often of restoring it when failing. All the tissues of tie body need water, and water in abundance is necessary also for the proper performance of every vital function. Cleanliness of the tissues w ithiu the body is as necessary to health and comfort as chauliuess of tlie skin, and water tends to insure the one as truly as it does the other. It dissolves the waste mat rial, which would other wise collect in tlie body, and removes it iu the various excretions. These waste materials are often actual poisons, and many a headache, many rheumatic paiasand aches, niany sleep less niyhts and listless days, and many attacks of the "bhu-s," are due solely to the circulation in the blood or deposit in the tissues of these wfcte materials, which can nil be got rid of because of an insufficient supply of water. Water is accused of making fat, and pecple with a tendency to corpuleure avoid it for that reason. But this is not strictly true. It does undoubtedly often iucrcaso the weight, but it does so be cause it improves tlie digestion aud therefore m re cf the food eaten is util ized aud turned into fat and flesh. But excessive fat, what we call corpulence, is not a eiii of health but of faulty di gestiou and assimilation, and systemat ic wr.ter-drinking is often employed as a means of reducing the superfluous fat which it hui:i tinits does with astonish ing rapidity.
