On the Hot

Young I>r. James tightened up his
belt with a scowl as he heard the am
bulance gong sound. The little tents
which dotted the grounds of the hos
pltal were already tilled with victims j
of the heat. Ills own head whirled,
and his pulse throbtwd violently, and
there were four hours of r> lentless j
sunlight still before the scorching city. .
The electric ambulance rolled light
ly and noiselessly under the porte
cochere of the great hospital a-v ! then,
with Its clang of warning, threaded
Its way between cars, trucks and de
livery wagons. People eyed it with ,
curiosity not unmixed with awe.
There was no telling whose turn
would come next. And, unmindful of

their stare. Dr. James sat on one of
the lengthwise seats, with his feet
stretched on the one opposite, and
continued to scowl.
Nothing but heat prostrations, a cut j
head or so and Innumerable cases of
cholera infantum had come his way .
einee he was putin charge of the am- j
bulanee. The deadly monotony was
getting on his nerves. He hated the
Interminable round of remedies, the
whimpering babies and the whining
mothers. This was not the energetic
surgical work he had seen before him
during his hospital term. He won
dered if, nfter all, the doctor's life did
not hold a deal of drudgery. And the ,
path to fame and success was bound
to be strewn with years of monotony.
It all might have been very different
If Maud Allen had stood by him— j
had married him when, in his lmpetu- ;
ous fashion, he had asked her to come
to the city with him and live on the j
Blender Income which came to him
through his uncle's estate. But she !
had said that be must first show his
mettle. She lacked faith in him, and, j
like all women, she was not content ]
to help a fellow work his way, but
would be quite ready to enjoy the '
fruits of his success.
That was the way when a girl's fa- j
ther had money and the man who
loved her had few assets except a
clever brain and a prospective career.
No doubt she was enjoying herself
this very moment at some seaside re
sort, with a string of silly summer |
men paying her sillier compliments, j
He hadn't written to her, and he
wouldn't until he had something to I
show, and then perhaps he would not
care. All of which were exceedingly i
bitter thoughts to be indulged in by a i
fine looking young chap dressed In
white duck and bowling along in the
finest electric ambulance in the great
city.
He pulled himself together and
shouted to the driver:
"Hey, Bill; where In time are we go- j
lng?"
"To Stinson's wholesale millinery
shop. Bet there's half a dozen girls |
tumbled under. It's awful under that
skylight where they trim. We got a .
dozen cases from there last summer." !
Dr. James leaned back moodily, and
the ambulance swung round a corner, J
then stopped before the entrance of a :
high factory building. A policeman
stood guard at the door.
"Right up the elevator, doc. Pretty
nasty case, I guess. They've been
working over her quite a bit."
"And doing the worst things possl !
ble, I suppose," growled the young
medical man as he stepped Into the
elevator. The driver and policeman
followed with the stretcher. I'p they
shot past floor after floor, where the
whirring of machines sounded like the
emphasized waves of heat. On the top
floor girls sewed pantlngly amid the
silks and velvets which were being
worked Into new fall millinery for the
trade. The heavy fabrics added to their
discomfort, but they barely looked up
as the surgeon passe.l, though one of
their number lay silent and motionless
in the private office. It was all in the
day's work.
Dr. James entered the little room.
The green shades had been drawn
tight. A woman leaned over a figure
stretched on the floor, with ice on the
wrists and head. I >r. James jerked up
the shade, and the pitiless sunlight
shot across the floor and rested on the
deathlike face. The policeman and the
driver reached the door just In time to
hear a groan which came not from the
patient, but from the young doctor.
Ue turn,Hi as white as his new found
patient, dropped on his km • -• ami went
10 work with lips set grimly and nerves
that quivered.
'•How long has she been like this?"
"Half an hour," faltered the forewo
man, frightened at his savage tones.
"Cod!" murmured the doctor. Then
he Issued some sharp orders to his as
sistants, and the girl was raised with
a tenderness new to the ambulance
surgeon, nntt as me hearers turneo to
leave he said to the 112 n woman harsh
ly, "Give me a cloth."
He covered her face. The gaping
crowd should not see her. As they
passed out of tie- -levator he stjl)
grasped the wrist oi the forewoman
"What is she doing here
The thoroughly frighb r.ed woman
replied stanimeringly: "Working, sir.
We don't know much about her, sir.
She's seen better days, but she tries
awful hard."
Would that elevator never roach the
ground floorV And was that hospital
at the other end of tie city? Every
minute was p. ~,us now He leaned
toward the dri\ < r
"Clip It up. Bill."
And Bill turned on more power.
They swung round ihe last corner be
fore reaching the hospital, ftn<l a ter
rifle rumbling sound greeted their ears,
mingled with shouts and screams. It
was all over in a second the runaways
attached to the heavy dray dashed
straight into the ambulance. The
driver hurtled through the air. Dr. j
James felt a blow somewhere, there
was an instant of blankness, then he .
realized that he was stumbling blindly j
toward the sidewalk with that death-
Ilk.' figure in his arms and something
very hot trickling, trickling into his
eyes.
It was two days before it all camo j
| back to him, clear and suffocating as !
an nr. ft;! nightmare. He clutched the !
nurse's hat 1.
"Where is she?"
"\Vl,»>7"
"Maud Miss Alien"
"Oh, maybe you mean the girl you]
snatched out of the ambulance Just in j
time. She's coming round, I guess,
though she had a dreadful prostra
, tion."
"I must see her at once," he said in
his old, peremptory fashion.
The nurse laughed. "Well, Just wait
until you can raise your head from the
pillow. You will get a medal or hon
orable mention for that work. Dr.
.lames. You are quite the hero of the
j hospital."
I"I want something more than med
i ills," said the young doctor grimly.
; Then, while the nurse wondered, he
j fell asleep.
It was two days more before he
i could l>e pulled into Maud's room, and
j very white and ill he looked, propped
I up in his invalid chair. But they set
tied the matter then and there, for
Maud told 1 im how she had wanted
to w;iit. merely to see that he had not
inherit' 1 his father's weakness and
lark of ambition, and how when her ,
father 1 d died suddenly, leaving his j
; affairs badly entangled, she had left all
j for the ereditors and come to the big |
i city to 10. e herself in the one line of
work for which she felt fitted.
And when Hilly heard about It all
he said if his broken leg mended in
| time he proposed to be best man, be
cause he'd carried the young surgeon
to his ladylove, if she was a half dead
one.

T.io train was snow* bound twenty
< miles from the nearest station, and the
passengers, with one exception, found
the waiting weary. The exception, a
stolid Scandinavian, drew from his
valise a squeaky nccordion, from which
he extracted such melancholy strains
| that the passengers were moved not
; to tears, but to wrath. When the con
cert had lasted half an hour, one of
the listeners rose, quietly helped him
self to the musician's hat and pro
ceeded to take up a collection.
He proved such a persistent beggar
that before long the hat sagged with
its burden of nickels and dimes. The
player, inspired by the rattle of coin,
played with renewed vigor.
As the man with the hat approached
him, the Interested passengers craned
their necks to see the presentation—
but there was no presentation. In
; Ptead, the man who had passed the hat
calmly stowed the collection away in
his own trousers pocket, tossed the
; empty hat to the Scandinavian and
gravely returned to his novel.
"Veil!" exclaimed the astonished mu
sician. "Who vas dot money for?"
"For me," said the man."l guess I
deserve some reward for having to sit
j next to music like that"
Even the Scandinavian Joined in the
laugh that followed, and a little later
he got the money—on condition that
! he should not play any more.
French Ilou*ekeeplnsr.
A French cook turns any and every
thing to advantage, and many a culi
nary chef d'u'uvre is the result of care
! and skill rather than rare or costly in
| gredients. With just a pinch of sa
vory herbs and a clear lire u cook will
turn shreds of cold meat into delleious-
I ly appetizing morsels, gastronomic dis
crimination on the part of her patrons
j keeping tip the standard of excellence.
I If I were ask<il to point out the lead
ing characteristic of the French mind
I should unhesitatingly say that it is
the critical faculty, and to this faculty
we owe not only the unrivaled French
cuisine, but pleasures of the table gen
' erally. Ilere is one instance in point:
i One quite ripe melon to the uninitiated
tastes very much like another, but a
I French country gentleman knows bet
| ter. Whenever a melon of superlative
{ flavor is served he orders the seeds
to be set aside for planting. Thus the
1 superlative kind is propagated. The
critical faculty is ever alert in France,

; pleteness. Cornhill Magazine.

Isabel F. Hapgood, the translator of
many of Tolstoi's books, once visited
I the great Russian, and during her vis-
It he told her a story of one of his an
cestors. This ancestor, an army otll
cer, was an excellent mimic. One day
he was impersonating the Emperor
Paul to a group of his friends when
: I'aul himself entered and for some
moments looked on, unpercelved, at
the antics of the young man. Tolstoi
filially turned and, beholding the em
peror, bowed his head and was silent.
"Goon, sir," said Paul. "Continue
the performance."
The young man hesitated a moment,
and then, folding his arms and imitat
ing every gesture and intonation of his
! sovereign, he said:
"Tolstoi, you deserve to be degraded,
but I remember the thoughtlessness of
youth, and you are pardoned."
The czar smiled slightly at this
speech.

A Story of Jo:ir;uiii
A story is told l»\ one of Joaquin
Miller's friends of.l meeting between
the "Poet of the Sierras'' and Mrs.
Langtry. She was stopping at the
home of a mutual friend in San Fran
cisco, who was anxious to bring the
two celebrities together. Invitations
were issued not only to Mr. Miller, but
to a number of other literary lights as
well. The hour came, the guests as
sembled, all but the poet himself. At
last he was discerned approaching,
dressed, as usual, in overalls, the red
flannel sliirt which he affects and the
Immense gray sombrero which he in
variably we it's and which he has to
have made t order The servant
opened the door. The poet entered, but
without removing his hat. This he
kept oil until directl\ in fr>it of Mrs.
Langtry, who stood at h-r hosi >s'side.
Then, with a courtly gcsiure, he dmed
his hat, flinging a perfect shower of
rose petals at the beauty's feet, accom
panying the action with the words,
"California showers red roses on the
Jersey Lily."

If you are traveling in Japan it may
be that you are seeking information
and make an apology for asking for it.
The retort is a sharp reproof that one
is slow to forget. "Ha!" is the reply.
"You know to ask a question is the
shame of a moment, and not to ask Is
the shame of a whole lifetime." The
Jap enjoys answering questions, but he
has a habit all his own of remodeling
and tampering with his reply and then
of making it proverbial.
For instance, I once asked a gentle
man If a Philadelphia made locomotive
was intended for a certain railroad.
He answered by telling me that tfca
engine was made in Philadelphia, that
It was brought over on such and such
a steamer, that its gauge was so many
Inches and that the gauge of the road
was the same. Then he added, "It
will be like a cat locked In a cellar."
In fine, all this verbosity signified the
affirmative. Instead of saying "Y'es,"
the man delighted in the circumlocu
tion.—New York Olobe.

In the Jewish Encyclopaedia is an ac
count of the queer ceremony of the
taking off a brother-in-law's shoe by
the widow of a brother who lias died
childless, through which ceremony he
is released from the obligation of mar
rying her. The ceremony is described
as follows:
The yabatn (brother-in-law) must
have his right foot, on which the shoe
Is placed, washed very scrupulously,
and after he has strapped it on lie
must walk four cubits In the presence
of the Judges. Then the chief of the
Judges reads the following passage,
which the yabamah (woman) repeat®
word for word: "My brother In-law r<v
fuses to raise unto his brother a namo
In Israel; he will not marry me." Then
tiie yabani is required to repeat the
sentence, "I do not wish to take her."
He then presses his right foot against
the floor while she looses the straps
with her right hand, takes off the shoe
and throws It some distance away.
Then she places herself in front of tho
yabam. spits on the floor in front of
him and repeats these words after the
presiding Judge: "So shall it be done
unto that man who will not build up
his brother's house, and his name shall
be called in Israel 'the house of him
that hath his shoe loosed.'"

"As much as 40 per cent of organic
matter has been found in plaster taken
from the walls of a hospital ward in

uncommon to find air In public assem
bly rooms and even in dwellings con
taining from ten to fifteen times the
amount of carbonic acid found in pure
air. Of this gas Tomlinson says:"lt
acts as a poison. If we attempt to
inhale it by putting the face over the
edge of a beer vat the nostrils and
throat are irritated so strongly that
the glottis closes and inspiration be
comes Impossible." One need remain
but half an hour in an unventilated

Japanese cerernoniousness makes It a
serious matter going to a Japanese shop
unless you are going to buy silk hand
kerchiefs the only things foreigners
buy often enough to spoil tin- manners
of the shopkeeper. You Siet out of your
rickshaw, and the rickshaw boy ex
plains your high and mightiness. Then
nil the attendants in the shop salaam till
you wish they would get up and let
you catch their eye and explain what
you want. When they do get up the
Japanese equivalent of the shopwalker
and three or four counter Jumpers In
rotation ask you to repeat your order
while they offer j'ou five cups of tea.
It is Japanese tea, and there is no milk
or sugar, but you can have salted cher
ry blossoms if you want if It is a good
shop. This is the Japanese way of of
fering the customer a drink. Good
Japanese shops contain nothing except
the attendants. When you have got
as far as explaining what you want
the proprietor gives orders to attend
ants. < iff they go at a run good serv
ants always run and bring back the
goods tied up in faded green silk hand
kerchiefs or ">'cen cotton cloths.

The Lrgrud of Nl. IJrnla
St. I H'hlh was a wanderer In the
wilds of the Thessalonian forests for
the space of seven years. The strange
foods that he ate and the constant
companionship of nothing hut beasts
and hirds iiad a startling effect. His
fingers grew claws, and his hair be
came as the fine feathers of an eagle's
neck and breast. Finally, when near
ly heartbroken by the changes that his
wild life was making in body and
mind, he wandered over to a tine look
ing mulberry tree and ate heartily of
the fruit. The tree was enchanted,
and partaking of its fruit brought a
change more terrible than all his other
transforamtlons—he lost every sem
hlanee to a man, instantly changing
his shape and likeness to those of a
deer. He lay down under a tree and
bemoaned his fate In these words: "I
was of late a man, but now a horned
beast; I was a soldier, but now a prey
for dogs. My bed of down I must
exchange for moss, and musiek for
hewlelng wlndes." While thus lament
ing his fate the tree spoke to him in
words of cheer, Informing him that in
seven years he would be a man again,
"which," the account says, "did truly
come to pass."
Nothing has ever equalled it.
Nothing can ever surpass it.
