EVA'S AMBITION. Eva Norrington inserted her latch key Into the keyhole of a Bedford square boarding house, and entered. It was a dismal, windy, rainy Noveui ber evening, iiml ever since lunch she had been paddling about London, climbing grimy stairs of newspaper otiiccs, uiid talking to people who did not seem espisdnlly pleased to see her. Her skirts were wet, raid a wisp of damp hair was tumbling over her eyes. On tbe hull table, disclosed by tbe flickering gas jet, were some letters "A year ago to-day!" said Eva to her self as she closed the door against the wiml. "Has he written, or bas lie for gotten?" He had not forgotten. Era picked up the letter from the hall table, look ed quickly round nt the closed hull door, and nt the baize door that led to the kitchen stairs and kissed It. Iheu she went upstairs to ber bed-slttiug-rooin with the letter in her baud and Joy In her heart. "Hateful little room!" she murtnuied to herself, as she struck a match nod lit the gas. "But It's the last time. tfinnk God!" The room was not really bad; a bed In tbe corner, a wash-stand, a ward robe, here ami there a picture on tne walls, and a table by the window, rath er rickety, on which lay a heap of man uscript a half-finished story. "I will burn that before I go to bed to-night." said Eva, as the caught sight of it. Then she took off her hat and cloak, drew the only easy chair under the gas jet and sat down: titigeriug the letter ..te mo ut.i opeii it ai once. Now tun happiness stretched ill front of her it was pleasant to linger ol the routines of misery, to look back OB the fife she w as to leave. "Ii is tioi every one. said Eva re flectively, "who can make experiments in life u ithout expense." Eva Not rington bad been the pride o. the jn.vii;ii:il town which gave ber birth. At the high school no girl could stand against her. Her form govern ess, who now and then asked ber favor ite pupils to tea, even said she might be a bead mistress one day. To Eva this seemed absurd. Hut when, at ihf age of o. she gained a guinea prizt for a story in a weekly paper she be gan to think that nt least she might Is n gnat novelist. At any rate she fel. sure that somewhere ahead of her stretched a career; and as ber 21st birthday approached she announced to her startled parents her Intention of go ing to London in search of It. There upon ensued a series of domestic scenes such as have lieen common of late In Cbe homes of England, wherein tbe par ent play tbe part of the apprehensive lion, the daughter that of the adventur ous duckling. The duckling Invariably gaiiis its point; and go it was with Eva fforrington. Having refuted argument I and resisted persuasion for a Cert i la number of weeks Eva obtained a grudgiug consent to ber departure. Tbe townspeople knew not whether to ad mire or disapprove. But tbey bad read n novels of young ladies who took heir lives and latchkeys Into tbelr own hands, became famous, and married res-MHtabiy after alL Bo during tbe weeks of preparation for her campaign Eva became something of a figure In local society, and more than one dinner party was given in ber honor, as well ss plentiful advice as to tbe I sary precautions against London guile, mill n .-Miy recipes for guarding against the colds Induced by tbe fogs that In fest the metropolis. Eva was almost happy; for she had the hopefulness of youth and beauty, and all tbe exhilaration of taking her life Into her hands and fashioning It as she would, with none to raise objec tions to the process. She would have been quite bappy but for Allan Craig. For Allan Craig, whenever he heard that Eva was bent on going to London to make a name for herself, promptly offered ber his own for a substitute. It was a good enough name, and at the foot of a check It was generally respect' ed, as Allan Craig had lately stepped Into his father's business as estats agent and was prospering. Era was disturbed, but she turned not aside from her project. Eva bad mapped out her life and Allan Craig was not includ ed in tbe scheme. As she snt Angering her letter In her bed-room, she went over' the parting scene In Iter mind. Tbe details of It would only Increase the delight of the letter. For Eva bad learned daring the last year that happiness Is so rare that it deserved to be rolled on tbe tongue aud not swallowed in baste. It was at a dunce on tbe night before ber de parture ber last dance, so sbe thought, before she started life lu earnest. They were sitting out a dance together, for Eva was not disposed to think nnkindly of Allan, though she might resent bis intrusion into ber scheme of life. Sbe remembered how there bad beeu silence between them for some moments, how Allan had leaned his elbows on bis knees and dug the heel of his dancing shoes Into tbe carpet. "And so you are quite determined to leave us?" said Allan. "Of course." replied Eva. "My boxes are all packed." "Full of manuscript novels and othet things?" "One novel and several stories. "I cannot understand why you want to go when " "1 want to well to live a larger life." "You mean you wnut to live In a big ger place?" -Well, not exactly. I don't think you quite underslaud." "I quite understand that there is not enough scope for you here, and that 1 niu a selfish brute for trying to keep you from your ambition. Look here. Eva. cau you honestly say that you don't love tue a little bit?" Allan Imd risen and was standing ovei ber. Evil looked up at him. She coi.l.l see lii in .standing there now big. comely, with something iu bis eyes that thrilled her, half with fear aud half with pleasure. She rose aud faced him. "1 shall be sorry to leave you very sorry." "Then why T "Can't you see. Allan? I know I have It in nie to do good work, and I must be where good work is wanted. Here I am hampered; in Ixiiidou " "Yon may fail," said Allan, with a note of hope in bis voice. Then Evr spoke: "I shall succeed I know 1 shalL" Will you write to me?" Eva hesitated. She was half In clined to give in to that exteut- Alias had mistaken her hesitation. "No," lie said. "There shall be no selfishness iu my love for you, I will wait a year from to-night, and then, if London is no go, you know there will always be me. You cau't expect uie to pray for your success, can you?" Eva, placed on her mettle, looked blic in the face. "I am bound to succeed," she said, and turned to go. The waltz bad ceas ed iu the room below, and a rustle ol skirts and a ripple of tongues bad taken its place. "Eva once the last time, perhaps." She turned again, laughing. "Quick!" she said; "some one will ootue." A woman may forget many things, but no woman ever forgets the first time a lover's arm was around hei waist and a lover's lips upon ber own. And as Eva sat In the corner of a third class carriage in tbe London train next morning, looking forward to tbe ca reer before ber. the remembrance ot die support of Allan's arm persisted la obtruding Itself. Having got whst fiht wauted she bad already begun to doubl if she wanted what sbe bad got. Fot a career, after all. Is rather a lonesoms sort of a thing. Such small success as may come to the Inexperienced girl upon ber first incursion Into literature came to Eva. She lived sparingly, worked hard, and never made the mistake of refusing invitations on the ground of work. She staid up a little later or got up a little "arlier Instead. A weekly column on "Health and Beauty" placed at her dis posal by the youthful editor of a new woman's paper, who bad met her at die Writer's Club and thought ber pret ly, paid her weekly bill at tbe boarding-house. Her stoiies found frequent leceptance and occasional welcome in :he minor periodicals, and a bappy meeting with an editor at a dinner par ty paved the way to ber appearance in r widely read magazine. By tbe end of the year Eva Norrington had jot so far toward tbe realization of ber imbition that when people beard ber name mentioned tbey wrinkled tbelr lirows and tried to remember where they had hoard It before. At home, of ourse, her fame was great Tbe pa ters in which she wrote circulated free y iu the town, her stories were discuss- -il at afternoon teas, and townsfolk were glad to think that they participat ed to some extent In the literary work f the century. All this time Eva was horribly lone ly. She knew plenty of people and iiked them: tbey were kind to ber, some f them because they liked her for her self, others because they saw that she was marked for ultimate success. Hav ing advanced a certain distance along the road she had longed to travel, sbe conM Judge better whitber It would lead ber. It would lead her to a place in the newspaper paragraphs, to a place mi the bookstalls, to a place In tbe pho tographer's wiudows. and to a place at Bayswater or South Kensington. I'hl. then, must be tbe end of the strug gle and tbe turmoil of tbe light And how sbe hated the fight! A light where in victory would bring ber no nearer to the actualities of life; for aba had come to learn In tbe year's struggle that onr social system by no means places women on an equality with men, and that whereas men can buy tbe coveted fruit of tbe tree of knowledge of good and evil by the pottle, women mast bay the tree outright, and pay cash. It wit terribly unfair. And the most unfair thing aJoa( ha whole buafaiaas was that, whim within ber grasp, success was a at what aha wanted.

Eva read quickly at first, then slowly, knitting her brows as she turned tbe pages, and came mt but to the signature, "fiver yoar friend, Allan Craig." The letter lay for some mlnatee In Eva's lap. whila aha looked vagtsaiy rooad her room. "Ha la afraid of spoiling my career my success haa pot an Insuperable barrier between us," aba murmured. The phrases of tbe letter bad burned themselves Into her brain. "O, Allan!

Sankey told a reporter bow bla famous, soul-wlnniog ttouK. Tbe Ninety and Nine," came In to tbe world. It was In 1873. and Moody and Sankey. who had been to gether but a couple of months, were traveling through Scotland and hold ing meetings everywhere. On a train one day, while Moody was busy In his corner of the railway compartment, Sankey picked np a paper. Tucked away in the bottom of a column were no DM verses which met bis eye. There were ninety and nine that safely lay la the abetter of the fold. tto It began, and Mr. Sankey followed down the Hues, while tbe express for Bdluburgb rushed on at aizty miles aa hour. -Hurrah!" cried Mr. Sankey, bring ing bis hind down on bin knee in char actfristic enthusiasm. "I've found tbe hvuiu I've been looking for Tor years." "Yes," said Moody, "what is Itr Mr. Sankey did read it. and be put feeling Into bia words, for the beauty of the verses Impressed blm. but when be looked up he saw that Mr. Moody had beard uothlng of tbe reading, be Injr lost In his letters. "All right," thought Mr. Sankey. "he'll hear that hymn later on," and cutting out tbe verses from tbe paper be put them away carefully for future ase. A few days after this the evangelists held a revival In Edinburgh. Mr. Moo-1 spoke moat eloquently on the "tiootl Shepherd." Aa be finished there came over the meeting tuat stillness which Indicates deep spiritual feeling. Mend ing down from his pulpit toward Mr. Sankey. who sat by bis right at tbe little nielodeon, Mr. Moody said: "Mr. Siiukey, have you anything tv sing ou Ibis subject as a solo f Mr. Saukey hesitated. He coulo tbluk of nothing directly on the sub ject except the Twenty-third rsaltn, which had already been sung three times that day by tbe congregation. They must have something else. Like a dash It came to hint. "Slug tbe song you found on the train." But bis sec ond thought waa, "How can I slug a byuin without a tuner" Meanwhile the audience was waiting In silence. "Sing the hymn you fouutl on tbe train," a uie the thought again. Mr. Sankey opeued bis little scrap book of solos, found the newspaper slip, laid It before him on tbe rack of the uielodeou. and then struck a Tutl chord and begau to sins. What notes be sang be did not kimw. nor what chords he played; lie took no heed of harmony, uor of how be got through the first stauza. Ami then he paused and played some chords on tbe uielodeou. waiting to be Cin tbe second Ktanza. Tbe thought came to him. "Cau I sing the second stanza as I did the first; cau 1 remem ber the uotesV" anj lie concentrated his miud once more for the effort aud begnu to sing. And so lie went through the live stanzas, and the audleuce sal still as death until be duislied. Wheu it whs all over Mr. Moody came dotfn from the pulpit, anil, rest lug a hand ou Mr. Moody's shoulder, looked with wouder at the newspaper clipping. "My dear friend," be said, "where did you get that song; 1 never heard anything like it." -That," said Sankey. "is the hymn I read to you ou the train, tbe oue you didn't hear." Aud thus the tune of tbe "Ninety and Niue" was boru Into the world. As It was sung that day In Kdiuburgh by In spiration, so It has been written down In the hymn books, aud so It bas been sung In the many languages, and ne note or chord of It bas been changed.'

San Francisco Call. Timid aa a Rabbit. , It Isn't always safe to count on tbe timidity of a creature that Is prover bially timit Jack, a big, white, lop eared rabbit, with pink eyes, waa one of these exceptions. Jack was one of the biggest members of his family, and when he didn't want to oe picaea np ij ois toug ears on would scold and kick and jerk until It took a firm hold to keep him from get ting away. At other times he waa aa gentle as a kitten. Above everything, Jck hated dogs, and be bad a way of charging down upon tbe biggest of them which often sent them away howling. When a Btrauge cur came nosing about the place Jack would crouch down In a sulk, with bla pink eyes snapping. He would begla to grunt out disapproval, stamping bla hind feet hard on the ground. "Hu-u-u-uhl Hu-u-n-ubt" be would say. spitefully, thumping with bla feet Then, when his anger waa worked up, he would lay back bis long ears and run in a white streak straight at the prowler. Just before he reached the dog be would spring off the ground and land all four feet Into the dog's side. No dog ever stood that charge. Doubt less they thought that a rabbit wouldn't do snch a courageous thing, and when the rabbit did do It they most have thought it some strange animal which they didn't know bow to fight. Jack couldn't have hurt them, of course, but he wasn't afraid to try, and It was just that which won him all his battles. Some dogs In the neighbor hood grew so afraid of him that they could not be coaxed to come near him. But Jack got Into bad habita aad had to be killed. He had all tbe apples, potatoes, turnips end carrots that he coold possibly want to eat, bat he wasn't satisfied. So he began to gnaw tbe bark from trees and shrubs In tbe front lawn. He waa whipped for It time and again, but after he had ruined a valuable pear tree In the garden he waa shot for his disobedience.

"What are they?" asked tbe physician. I "I think they are teacaps," waa the . reply. i A whtch was then shown to mm, and he knew what it was, probably be es use he heard it tick.

A literary man, used to the niceties ol expression and fond also of the pleasures of the tabic, in speaking of RDPANS TABULES says: "I couldn't recommend this remedy as heartily as I do if I didn't believe in it. I am not much of a medicine taker. I am opposed to medicine, on principle. There ought to Le no need of medicine just as there ought to be no poverty but there is. If people lived right they would be well. Sunshine, air, exercise, fun, good food plenty and not too much are the best medicines, the natural ones; but men are tied to their desks, anil women to their home cares, and both are tied to fash ion. Civilized existence is artilicial and needs artificial regulators. I recommend Kipans Tabules and take them myself. I know they are both harmless and effective. (I know what they are made of.) They are the best remedy I know anvthiu about for headaches, or indigestion, or biliousness, or any sort of sluggishness in the system. And they are in the handiest possible shape to carry in the pocket." REASONS Walter Baker & Co.'s -a Breakfast Cocoa. at a,Uy. . ,""t yoa ba genuine article made by WALTER BAKER CO.
