UcClure J The man sitting in the darkened room at the hospital raised his band aged eyes as the nurse entered. Tho month that he hail been there had not served to change the habit of sight Died by all the years that had gone before. "It's for tonight, isn't it. Miss Lee'/" he cried, recognizing her step. '" To night I'll get ritl of these confounded bandages and see the light of day once more. Oh, you don't know how this month has dragged! li s for tonight. Isn't It?" "I believe so," returned the nurse gently. "But of course the doctor will have to decide. He'll be here soon." Gad' How glad I'll be to see once morel" cried the man."l never could have stood It even for a month If it hadn't been for you. You've been an angel to me." The nurse blushed softly and cast a very tender look at the man. She an swered merrily: "All the nurses here would have beeu the same. Nine pa tients out of ten think we are angels— while they are In the hospital. They change their minds afterward." "I never shall. Do you know, after all, despite all the pain and the anxiety. 1 am glad this thing happened." "Why?" "Because It has enabled me to know you. Oh, of course I have known you fo speak to for months and by sight for years, but that isn't knowing how tender, how sweet, how long suffering, you could be. Oh, Miss Lee—Ger trude"— "Hush! The doctor said you must kpep cool, you know. Excitement might injure your eyes." The man sank back in his chair. "True," he said slowly, "I forgot that I haven't any right to speak now. I forget that the result of this operation Isn't absolutely certain and that I may be blind—mercy, blind! —and that in any ease I must mend my fortunes be fore I there, is that the doctor com ing?' The nurse glanced out of the open door Into the hall. "Yes," she Bnid; "he'a Just down the corridor a way. You're not troinj? back to your old position right away, are you. Mr. Scott? You oughtn't to try your eyes for a year or so, you know." "I suppose not. But needs must, you know, when a certain gentleman drives. I'll be dead broke when I get out of here, and I'll have togo to work. Ah, there's the doctor!" The doctor entered and stood for a few moments talking to the man. "Yes," he said at last; "we'll take the bandages off tonight. I think." "Thank God! And—and there's no doubt that everything will be all right. Is there, doctor?" "We'll hope for the best," returned the doctor cheerily, his tone a very comfort In itself, although his words were not especially so. He passed out of the door hurriedly, preventing fur ther questions and beckoning to the nurse as he did so to follow him. A few steps down the corridor he halted. "Nurse," he said, with a worried look on his face, "do you know whether jour patient has any relatives near by?" "I'm sure he has not," answered the girl readily. "I've talked with him re peatedly and learned all about him. He doesn't seem to have a relative in the world." The doctor's face grew graver. "How la ho off for money V" "He just told me that he would be "dead broke' when he got out of here. He said he must at once go back to work." "Back to work at onc£! He'll be lucky If he ever gets to work again." The nurse grew white. "Why?" she gasped. "I thought the operation was a certainty." "A certainty! Yes, it is a certainty almost, but In the wrong direction. There isn't one chance In a hundred that he'll ever see again." With a mighty effort the nurse mas tered her emotion. "But. doctor," she gasped, "what wift become of him?" "Become of him?" echoed the doct< r irritably. "Become of him? What be comes of blind men who have no friends and no money? We'll keep him as long as we can, and then I sup pose he'll have togo to the poorhouse for the rest of Ills life." A flush of anger succeeded the pal lor of Miss I>ee's face. "Why have you deceived hint?" she demanded indig nantly, with utter disregard of the re quirements of discipline. "He is sure that he will get well. lie is building on It absolutely. If he doesn't"— The doctor looked curiously at the girl. Then a sense of comprehension came over him. He sighed. He was an old man, but not a callous one. "If you want him to see again, Miss Lee," he said, "be sure to keep him thinking 80. In that lies his one chance. Keep him cheerful at all hazards, and possi »*iy"— The doctor turned away, and the nurse slowly retraced her steps to Scott's room. She had known Henry Scott for a year or more and had liked and admired him from the first. In the month that they had been thrown together by the accident that had forced Scott to enter the hospital thlfl feeling had grown to something stron ger than likinc For some days she had known what he would say as soon as be could see again and had known what she would say In answer. In common with the rest of the world around her, she had never doubted that all would be well with bis sight. Now fame this blow. Never to see again! Togo to the poorhouse nn<l there drag out bin days! Never! He shall not! He shall not! But what could she do? Too well she knew Scott's spirit to suppose that be would accept anything from her; that lie would ever say the words she longed to hear —the words that would give her the right to care for him—un less his sight was n stored. She must Ket that rißbt before the bandages were removed. She must lead him on to speak. Hut, no! What good would that do? If he were to be really blind, the knew h«* would repudiate the bar gain. She must marry him that very day, before the bandages were removed. Her heart stood still at the thought All that was womanly in her revolted. But then the poorhouse! Ah, she would be so proud to work for him, to care for him! She had no one depend ent on her, and she earned enough to maintain them both. She must do ltl There was no other way. Her thoughts had traveled like light ning. In the few steps between the doctor and the door of Scott's room »l*d thought It ail out Ste*dJly she entered and went close to him". "What was it you were saying a mo ment ago, Mr. Scott?" she asked softly. "Saying?" The man was puzzled for the instant. "About me?" "Oh!" with instant comprehension. "Oh, Gertrude, do you really want to hear it?" He groped for her hand, caught it and drew her to him. "Ger trude. it isn't right for me to speak jet, but I must—l must. »Hi, darling, I love you so! I love you so! I>o you love me?" The girl bowed her head on his breast. "Yes, yes," she sobbed, "more than anything else In the world!" "Thank God!" The man grasped the bandages around his head and ivck les>ly tore them off. "I must see you!" he tried. "I must see you! Oh, Ger trude, how beautiful you are!" But the nurse flung up her hands In horror and strove to cover his eyes. "Oh, oh, oh!" she wailed. "Don't! You'll ruin your last chance!" Hut the man clasped her wrists and held her from him. "1 see you! I see you!" he cried. Neither noticed the doctor standing at the door, but at the last words he ! advanced into the room. "You see, do ' you?" lie asked. "I do!" The nurse turned with clasped hands. "Doctor! Doctor!" she cried. "Is it a success? Will he see?" "Why, of course he will!" answered that gentleman briskly. "The opera tion has evidently been an entire suc cess." Thf SlnKßard Walirri. There are many odd, old fashioned church customs which nowadays would provoke a smile. In bygone days, for instance, when sermons were long and very often dull, the congregation was apt to become somnolescent, and so it beeame necessary to take steps to rem edy matters. To this end men and sometimes women were employed as "sluggard wakens"—that Is, to rouse those who might be overcome by their surroundings—and occasionally parish ioners would bequeath sums of money for the payment of such officials. Iu uu interesting book called "Old Church Life" mention is made of one of these sluggard wakers, who is said to have carried a long, stout wand, with a fork at the end of it. At intervals he step ped stealthily up and down the nave and aisles of the church, and when ever he saw an individual whose senses were buried in oblivion lie touched him with his wand so effectually that the speil was broken, and in an instant the offender was recalled to all the realities of life. In another church the beadle employed on the mission used a long staff having a fox's brush at one end and a knob at the other. Should a lady fall asleep her face was tickled witli the brush, but an unlucky man was roused by a sharp rap with the knob. OPEN AIR STATE JAIL. Primitive I'lncf of In Monlrnoe iu. The open air state jail of Cettinje, Montenegro, is unique in Europe. This primitive place of confinement is sit uated in the principal public square of the Montenegrin capital. Persons' guilty of such minor offenses as as sault or petty thefts are sentenced to imprisonment in tlie open air jail. The prisoners are allowed to roam about the square at will, the mere fact that they have been deprived of their weap ons being considered appropriate pun ishment. At night the prisoners are removed to a room in the town hall, where they have far more comfortable quarters than they would have at home. The thought of escaping from their open air Jail seldom occurs to them, and even if it did there is no place where they could And refuge. The Montenegrins are. above nil, men of honor, and were a prisoner to escape the population of Cettinje would soon be at the heels of the fugitive guilty of having broken his promise not to at tempt to escape.—New York Tribune. £»cnpe<! the "Might Have Been." "Yes," said the gentle optimist, "I confess I am superstitious enough to wear a lucky stone." "And do you really think It gives you luck ?" "Oh, I am quite sure of It." "Did you have it with you yester day?" "Certainly." "And in spite of It you lost a five dol lar gold piece, tore your coat by catch ing It on a nail, sprained your ankle and failed to close the business deal of which you expected so much." "True," replied the gentle optimist, "but think of what might have hap pened to me If I hadn't had my lucky stone."—New York I'ress. Colcheater's Tbniikiiglrlug I'tei. Many funny stories are told of the early Thanksgiving days. The town of Colchester, for instance, calmly Ignored the day appointed by the governor and held its own Thanksgiving a week lat er, when the sloop from New York bringing a hogshead of molasses for pies had arrived. In Kevolutlonary times Thanksgiving was not forgotten. The council of Massachusetts recom mended that Nov. 1(1, 1770, be set aside for "acknowledgments for mercies en joyed." In the next year Samuel Ad ams recommended a form of Thanks giving proclamation to the Continental congress. Siimf Source* of Headnoh*-. Among the many things that produce headache are long continued straining of the eyes, sudden excitement, bad air and want of ventilation, alcoholic drinks and a variety of other causes. Another fruitful source of headache in men is the absurd fashion of bats which society now Imposes. boots and shoes will also cause head ache and destroy comfort of motion and happiness. They prevent the flow f»f bio »1 to the extremities and cause slight congestion of the brain. Tea drinking is often an unsuspected cause of headache, causing, as it does, ex haustion of the nervous system, and coffee the same thing. MI II Inter*' Unities.

Are they nearly ready?" She was rising slowly. "Don't move," commanded the best man. "There is plenty of time." Tucking the cushions behind her, he sat down in a chair at her side. "I've done all I could for Kalph," he continued, "and I felt entitled to a breathing space." "1 tried to help Elsa, but there were so many. They are going south, aren't they?" "In confidence, yes.

"1 wouldn't blame him," she laugh ed. "though a bout in the station might be awkward." "What a pace we've led the last few j daysl'' he sighed wearily. "You pirls seem able to stand It, but personally I'm so muddled I don't know whether it's Kalph's wedding or mine." "I suppose circumstances also make that difficult to decide." The best man felt his color rise. lie could not see the girl's face distinctly, but lie knew the mischievous look that gleamed in her eyes. <>f course it was no secret that Elsa and he had been jrlrl and boy lovers, but the thrust piqued him. In fact, their few days' acquaintance had been a series of drawn battles, without malice, but not without keenness. "Yes," he replied, "though 1 find I'm glad it's ltalph's, because lie Is so much happier than I would have been under similar circumstances." "Ah, the cynic again—woman, a de lusion and a snare, and marriage a lot tery. No! No: Such sentiments be long to the unintelligent." "Have you ever been in love?" in quired the best man abruptly. It was the maid of honor's turn to blush. This was not the first time she had found it difficult to get ahead of the best man. "1 have thought I was," she said simply. "Ex-actly," he went on with meas sured emphasis. "Then you've ceased thinking so. Later you've studied him calmly und said to yourself, 'A gentle man and eminently respectable, but why did 1 think I cared for him?" When you heard lie was engaged to another girl yon congratulated him heartily and honestly. Just the same, when they were married, you felt a trille sad and a trifle lonely; not be cause you wanted anything changed, merely because it was another chap ter closed forever." "How do you know?" she cried, sit ting up straight. He laughed the low, pleased laugh of a flattered man. "It's the way I feel about Elsa," he said. "And the way I feel about Kalph," she gasped. In the silence they could hear the talk and laughter of the wedding guests "And yet"— she began. "And yet," he interrupted, "they are the happy ones. They have found each other." "And they will be peaceful and con tented because real love never an alyzes." "While the left overs—you and l— are sitting in the dark, tired, lonesome, theoretical, yet so hard hearted we wouldn't change." "Oh, don't!" she said sadly. "Just think of the fairy kingdom that be longs to them, all full of romance ana i fun and companionship. Critical eyes will never sec their treasure." The best man was surprised to bear her catch her breath. lie had not connected sentiment with the merry maid of honor, not having realized that a sharp tongue may give utter auce to sympathy and gentleness. The discovery opened new vistas to him. "But not a treasure we should be blind to if we forced our eyes open?" She shook her head dubiously. "There's no hope for the analytical. They may peep at a gentle afterglow. One needs to be very young and very rash to find what Lisa and Kalph have found." "You think it's out of the question for us?" "You've asked two personal ques tions. The third is forfeit. 1 merely j meant to speculate. Come! We must go or we'll miss them." "Hut if we stay," he said quickly, ; "we may find worlds. Think of the time we've wastfnl sparring, and now —the last night we find mutual atid human sympathies." The maid of honor leaned back on the cushions smiling. The best man's enthusiasm was new and curious. "It seems to me," he went on, with ; boyish eagerness, "that reason, hon i esty and unseiii-Iniess are the bases of an enduring marriage. That's why ( Kalph and Klsa will be happy." "Oh, you're not a cynic!" "exclaimed the maid of honor. "It was only a pose to cover what you try to be ; ashamed of." lie laughed, and his face flushed | again. "I>o you know," she added softly, i "nothing in the world is more allur i lng than the thought of some one who will stand by you year after year, who I will put up with your foolishness, a lovable, loyal friend who will be jour playmate forever and ever?" "That's it!" lie cried. "We're dis i coverers. Don't you see that you and ! I could quarrel and make up and be | happy"— A babel of voices, excited laughter and a scurry of feet interrupted him. "Quick!" said the maid of honor, j springing up. She opened the curtains and hurried out. "They're gone," she pouted, coming slowly back." "I'm so sorry," apologized the best man, skillfully drawing the curtains behind her. "I ought not to have"— "Indeed you ought not," she averred severely. "Forgive me. We would have caught j only a glimpse of them, and these mln utes in here have meant"— "Oh, no, no!" she faltered. "They i mean nothing. Weddings are conta ! glous. These are symptoms."

A certain New York judge has a habit which sometimes annoys mem bers of the bar who appear before him, particularly young men, of talking to his associates on the bench while the lawyers are delivering their speeches, but however exasperated they may be the lawyers have not, as a rule, the boldness to complain, for they recog nize the power of the court. An emi nent lawyer of New York, however, set them an example. He was about to make the closing speech In a highly Important case. Forty minutes had been allotted him for the purpose. He had scarcely uttered a dozen words when the judge wheeled round in his chair and l>egan a discussion with his associate on the bench. The lawyer ceased speaking immediately, folded his arms and gazed steadily at the judges. A hush fell upon the court room. The offending judge, noticing the stillness, turned and looked Inquir ingly at the silent advocate. "Your honor," said the lawyer, "I have just forty minutes in which to make my flnal argument. I shall not only need every second of that time to do it justice, but 1 shall also need your undivided attention." "And you shall have it," promptly responded the judge, at the same time acknowledging the Justice of the re buke by a faint flush on his cheeks. It was an exhibition of genuine courage, but one that was more fully appre ciated by members of the profession than by the others who witnessed It. Hrciißnlim Thrm bj >'ccktln.

C., prior to 1840 there was a voting precinct j known by the odd name of Dumpling 1 Town. In 1840, when William Henry Harrison was elected president alter a most exciting campaign, Dumpling! Town had exactly 114 voters, and ev ery man of them cast lii.s ballot for Harrison. The people of the small but prosper- j ous town of Scotland Neck, in that county, showed their appreciation of the unanimous vote of Dumpling Town by a generous and whimsical gift. Two days and a night were consumed in building a big dumpling, which was i made of apples and flour and which weighed 114 pounds, one pound for each vote cast at Dumpling Town. This monster of a dumpling was put j in a sack supported by a tripod and ; lowered into an immense Iron kettle. It required two days and a night to cook it properly. Then it was lifted out and placed in a specially made bowl cut from the trunk of an enor mous cypress tree, and round It were placed 114 dumplings of the usual size. A band of music and 11 fty wagons were sent to Dumpling Town, and in these j wagons were taken to Scotland Neck the 114 true blue Harrison men and their families. There was great cheering when they I arrived at Scotland Neck, and the guests cheered themselves when they saw the feast prepared for them, for, besides the dumplings, no end of good things tilled many tables In the spa cious warehouse, and the feasting and fun lasted the rest of the day and near ly all night. A barrel of the best molasses was used as sauce for the big dumpling, an<l the hungry people ate it all.— Y'outh's Companion. PAYING IN CENTS. Creditor* Mn)' iletume l.arec Snutn of Small (haiiKC. Ordinarily when a debtor appears be fore a long time creditor there Is no questioning of the United States coin , In which the debt Is to be paid, but the wide possibilities possessed by an arbitrary creditor in stipulating just what coins and in what amounts he will receive payment are enough al most to discourage borrowing. You can't force a mean creditor to take more than 25 cents' worth of nick- , els or 25 cents' worth of copper cents. If you could get as much as $5 worth of old silver three cent pieces of an other generation you could unload $5 worth on him. just as he would have to take $5 worth of the silver five cent pieces and $5 worth of the obsolete I twenty cent pieces, which made so much trouble in the late seventies. But you can pay out $lO in silver dimes and silver quarters and silver half dol lars. The trade dollars, of which there are a few still coming into the treasury , of the United States for redemption, j are worth nothing, while the standard dollar is an unlimited legal tender, as Is the old "dollar of our dads," the flrst 1 of which was coined in 1794 and the ' last in 187:5. Coins that virtually liave disappear ed from circulation are gold three dol lar and one dollar pieces, the trade dol lar of silver, the nickel three cent piece, the copper two cent piece, the copper half cent and silver three and five cent pieces.

IhcoricN to Account For Thc*« Cp- III'UVHIN of tlie Carth'S i rmmi. A scientist who has made a special study of earthquakes says: "Let us imagine the Influx of the sea Into one of the fissures formed In the earth's crust. <)u coming into contact with molten matter it would instantly be changed into gaseous steam, expand ing to more than 18,000 times its origi nal bulk. This would press with enor mous force upward upon the crust of the earth and downward upon the sur faci- of the liquid lava. If there were then no vent for the lava to escape an earthquake would result." There are other ingenious theories which have weight, such as that of Davy, who when he discovered the metallic bases of the earths and alka lis conceived that water may pene trate to these metals if they exist un derground in an unoxidized state and so set free sufiicient gaseous matter to cause an earthquake. Shrinkage of the earth's crust is also to be taken into account. CLIMBING SERPENTS. The Method by Which They UUdc Ip Smooth Surfaces. Serpents can easily climb a smooth wall. "I have often seen them do so in Central America,"says a traveler, writing to a journal published in Rome. "I watched a little one, whose bite Is fatal, climb up a canvas stretched taut between two snakes. On reaching the top the reptile curled itself round a handglass, and I killed it with a cane." A serpent Is to be seen In almost any zoological garden which makes no trouble of climbing its glass case. This is how it sets to work: Stretching lUelf up the glass for about four Inches, it discharges from its glands a quantity of viscous matter which serves as an adhesive liquid to hold and support its body long enough to enable it to thrust itself up a little higher, when the proc ess is repeated. In warm climates this mora* to very thick and glutinous, so that by Its aid even heavy serpents can glide up per fectly smooth surfaces. A Illnhop'n Mining.
