« : Absentminded Maria ...By CATHERINE BURGESS. .. Copynghl. 1904, by Cathenne Burgos ■' ' • It would have been an injustice to Dr. Jardine and to his statu of mind on u certain January evening in the year it-doesn't-mutter-what to say that he was in a bad temper. It was be yond that—a disgust with himself, the world and life so consuming as to make his outward actions almost au tomatic, so separate were they from his inner self. Yet professional habit was strong. The patients In the long wards saw no difference as he stopped here ami there in his tour of inspection and asked the usual questions. Only one young Irish girl, with the clearness of death in her eyes, laid her hand on his as he touch ed her tenderly and whispered: "Ye'd betther be comln' wld me, docther, dear. Thlngs'll be stralghter—there." It was not the first time he had thought of it. Really, the inner voice questioned as he listened to the report of the head nurse, what good was his life to the world anyway? Here he had gone halfway across the continent this bitter January to attend at a great op eratlon, and the man had died after ail. He was not necessary In the hospital. There were a dozen better men. His wife but he turned from that thought Instinctively. His sister—she would forget he had lived or died at the sight of a I-afayette plate. The head nurse had finished her re port He looked at his desk piled with mall. "I can't read it tonight," he decided aloud. •The top one came yesterday by mes senger," the head nurse said. "It is marked 'lmportant.'" And she retired softly Dr. Jardine broke the seal. "Dear Brother"—the note ran—"l have heard of come extraordinary old Stafford shire lip In I'lster county, and I start in ten minutes Cornelia Frye knows It, too. •o you see there Is no time to lose.

JAKDI.NE WATCHED HKli, AIIAZKD. sense of humor was touched. "Per fect," he murmured to himself as he Bent for a cab. At 19 East Eighty-fourth street the cabman had to work with voice and hand to rouse his fare. "I never kno wed any gen'i'man Bo far gone before? 3 In the morning," ho observed to the area railings. Unconscious of the Impression he had left behind him, Dr. Jardine stumbled up the front steps. "Jardine, sir? Out, I believe, sir," said a sleepy hall boy. "I know; I am Dr. Jardine." The boy stared, succumbed to the voice of authority and dozed again. In the room at the end of the hall the principal object of Interest to the weary man was the bed, a four poster, with curtains, surprising enough to one who was used to sleeping on an iron cot "Confound Maria!" he grumbled. "If she starts collecting antique furniture as well as plates I am lost!" The four poster wore a very inviting air despite its unexpectedness. Dr. Jardine slowly pniied off his shoes and divested himself of "-oat and waistcoat. "1 roust lie down a moment," he mur mured, "and—think- this—over." And the bed received him Into Its depths. He dreamed. A weird procession passed before him like the figures in a frieze- and every one was his wife! Now she was laughing, now dancing, now weeping, now stern as the angel outside paradise, always gnzlng at him with unseeing eyes. He struggled to reach her, but could not. He heard her retreating footsteps retreating, yet sounding always nearer. Striving to solve the puzzle, he awoke. The foot steps continued, not loud and ominous as In his dream, but light, Hitting steps. They reminded him of some one he had known For a moment he stared, be wildered, Into the darkness of the cur tained bed the steps seeming to echo from his dream. Then he remember ed. Maria was In Ulster county. Who was the intruder? He parted the cur ialns a finger's breadth and looked out. The room beyond was dimly lighted. Trunks stood open, with books and clothing in orderly piles beside them. The clink of silver came from the room across the hall. "Looting the place, by Jove!" the doctor whispered. H«> half arose, but at the sound of returning steps he sank back, his eye at the curtain parting. "Of nil things in heaven and earth!" Instead of leaping out he drew the edges closer "A woman!" A woman it was who had entered the adjoining room and who proceeded with a businesslike air to store an armful of silver In one <>f the yawning trunks. Dr. Jardine watched her. ainaz ed. Her back was toward him, and he noted its graceful lines as she lifted and bestowed her booty. She looked u. lady Gradually he began to fsel like 9 peeping Tom rather than an outraged householder. How should he announce his presence? Would she faint? Wbat should he do with her? What would Maria say? At Inst she lifted the little shaded lamp and turned straight toward him. Not four feet from him she put the lamp down and sighed like a tired child. He wondered afterward how he lived through that moment. That ste, tile woman tie still loved, who bore his name, who had forsaken him—could she have become a common thief? In credible! It was a nightmare. The cur tains stifled him. He tore them apart. The woman uaw a pale, gasping face fronting her, the eyes horror struck, as of one looking ou a ghost. An instant her own matched it; then she fainted. "Molly!" he cried aud sprang to her. She revived readily. He remembered she had never been a fainting woman. She clung to him. "Robert," she whispered, "that horri ble man!" Then, watching his face* she let go her hold. "Robert! Were you he?" He nodded, unable to speak. "What did you do it for? It was too dreadful! I thought it was a burglar! How did you find me?" "Find you? I opened my eyes ami saw you!" course, but how did you know I was here?" "What do you mean? How did you know I was hero?" he demanded "Are you trying to make a Joke of It?" she cried. "You creep Into my rooms like a thief"— "A thief!" he echoed. "Your rooms! Aren't they mine? They knew my name downstairs"— "You are more ungenerous than I could have expected," she interrupted. "Whose name could I bear but yours? You are strangely forgetful!" "No," he answered; "no, Molly, I nev er forget. If I only could! I shall go mad some day remembering!" Then, [lulling himself together, he said; "For give this business, Molly. It's queer enough, but it's some mistake of Ma ria's. She has taken a new apartment, and and evidently this is not it. I thought it was. Maybe I made a mis take myself. I was dead tired. Any how, I'll get out. I can go somewhere, of course." "It Is hardly worth while," she re plied. "It will soon be morning any- | how. Jenny and I have been packing all night, or, rather. I have, since she fell asleep taking down pictures. We sail tomorrow on the Oceanic." He did not answer. The excitement had faded from his face and left It white and haggard. She came closer. "Robert, I would never have gone to J you. I had injured you too much. I know now It was my own fault—my own Jealousy. But that does not mat tor. We shall soon be separated, per haps forever. Fate or God has brought us together for a moment first. For give me!" Two hours later there was a knock at the door. Dr. Jardine and his wife looked at each other with eyes in which laughter and panic mingled. "And you are a respectable widow lady!" he mocked. But it was only old Jinny who ap peared upon the threshold. Her hands and eyes went up in happy gesticula tion. "Thank the Lawd," she cried, "the two stubbornes' folks In the wo'ld have done come together again! An' Mis' Molly, the's a tel'phone fer the doctah from the horspltal. Mis' Jurdlne's Jest raisin" New Yawk because he alu't come home, an' " "But I have come home!" cried Dr. Jardine, "Where's the telephone, Jin ny?" In a moment be returned, laughing. "This is 19 East, isn't it?" he In quired. "Well, my sister Maria 'Jest natchelly,' as Jinny would say, wrote 'East' when she meant West. I never thought 1 should live to bless the ab sentinindedness of Maria, but heaven knows I do now with all my heart and soul!" And, though Molly was silent, she felt for the first time that she truly loved her slster-ln-iaw. POINTS FOR SMOKERS. Some Advice to Follow If They Mast I »e the Weed. Very few people are aware how much harm is done to young men by the al most universal habit of cigarette smok ing. The man who smokes cigarettes lias one always In his moffth and Is con tinually Inhaling nicotine until the sys tem Is saturated with the poison. The result of tills practice Is a ca tarrhal condition of the nose, throat and bronchi, a disordered and very ir ritable state of the nerves, a weak and rapid action of the heart and Indiges tion. Thin, anaemic, weak, with clammy hands stained with nicotine poison, un strung nerves and degenerated mus cles, the youth of the land goon Igno rantly suffering the consequences of a pernicious habit until attacks of heart trouble, nervous prostration, melan cholia, etc., bring their condition to the attention of the physician. If a man must smoke and we admit the charm of the habit to those who have become accustomed to its sooth ing Influences—let him choose a mild cigar and have certain set times for in dulging. If he puts a certain restraint upon himself from the start in the mat ter of smoking, he will not overdo It, and there are few men who can smoke more than three cigars a day without Injury.—Medical Brief. MUSIC AND HUMOR. An Enxllili Critic Says That the Two Cannot Be Linked. There Is little room in music for hu mor and no room at all for wit. When I hear some one speak of the wit of a Chopin scherzo I think, "My friend, you had better see a doctor at once; you are slightly derangi-d mentally." In association with words there can be humor in music, as, for example, the prolouged low notes Handel gives to Polyphemus when he asks for a hun dred reeds "for my capacious mouth." But the humor of Haydn and Beetho ven In their instrumental works consists entirely of practical Jokes—a sudden low C on the bassoon, a horn passage which no horn pla/er can ever hope to play, a bass who enters a bar too soon or too late. The late Harold Fred i eric summed up the question beaut!- ! fully. He said to me one day when I I had not laughed at one of his stories: "Musicians have no sense of humor. When I was a young man touching negatives In a photographer's studio I was very musical. I had notes in my voice that couldn't be found in any piano In our parts. I had no sense of humor. Afterward I developed a sense of humor and lost my voice." — Londou Saturday Review. A Stinging It r proof.

He sprang to his feet, looking f"i* all the world like a big, perturbed boy as he paced restlessly across the library floor. He was so well formed, with his straight shoulders and the line, flexible lines of his body, that lie ap peared to be ten years younger than the thirty five allotted him bj the fam ily Bible. Then his brown hair would curl even at thlrty-flve. "I understand," said Claridge. In truth, he did not understand at all. Ib had no children of his own. Indeed, he found the caprices of his fashiona ble wife quite sufficient to absorb his attention. lUit he liked Max Carruth ers, and It did seem to him "They're such adorable little things. Max! And you're so absurdly wealthy! If it were not for our house being closed for the summer and Clotiide doing Eu rope for the steenth time I'd ask you to let us take the tots. One fancies that a man with your money would have no difficulty In finding a person" A rather desperate laugh interrupted him. "Ah, the 'persons' who an* willing to take care of my little people, Claridge, are the bane of my existence. I've ad vertised; I've met and talked with them; harpies all. Some would un doubtedly give the children proper care as far as physical requirements go, but that isn't enough. I want to find some woman who would really love them for their own sake." "That ought to be dead easy," growl ed Claridge. "Of course I thiuk so; but, then, they're my bairns. I want some one who will give them a bit of mothering —kiss the place to make it well and that sort of thing." "I have it!" exclaimed Claridge. He brought his list down 011 the arm of his chair with a bang. "The most idyl lic old home in the country that your eyes ever rested upon. It's a big. ram bling house, almost covered with Vir ginia creeper. There's an immense, well kept lawn and clematis across the porch, aud the house Itself is just filled with the most delicious scents. The bedrooms are perfumy with lavender. And as for the food—why, it's some thing to set an anchorite sighing!" "But what makes you think the pos sessor of this ideal home would wel come into it two rather lively chil dren? If it's only a question of mon ey"— Claridge shook his head. "Go slow! That's the difficulty it Isn't r. question of money at all. And my powers of persuasion may be less effective than I think with Mrs. Va rine, but I'll try." "Your friend is a widow, I presume?" Claridge smiled- a dry. slow, curious smile-his legal smile. Carruthers call ed it. "Yes; she happens to be a client of mine. Oh, yes!" he repeated, as though convincing himself of the fact. "She's a widow!" When Carruthers called a few days later to ask if Claridge had heard from Mrs. Variue, the latter Jumped up briskly. "It's all right. Max. You are to set tie the question of payment with me. Mrs. Varine says she'd rather take nothing. She's very lonely, Is awfully fond of children, aud is delighted at the thought of havlug the youngsters with her during their vacation. You'd better take them down next Thursday. Oh, by the way, there's a condition. Mrs. Varine does not wish to meet you personally!" "What's that?" cried Carruthers, aghast. "Well, she doesn't!" reiterated Clar idge doggedly. "Maybe she has no rea son but a woman's reason. Anyhow, she's entitled to her caprice. Her auut, Miss Howard, will meet you on your arrival and show you over the place." "Queer," muttered Carruthers. He looked up sharply. "You say you know the lady—that everything is all right?" "I say she's one of the sweetest wo men God ever made and that you may bless your st'arS she is taking your children into her home—which means her heart!" Ho had spoken with warmth. Car ruthers held out his hand. "Thanks, dear boy! You're a mighty good friend." It was at the close of a perfect Juue day when a little party reached Cedar vllle. A mirrey drawn by two fat white ponies met them. About two miles out side of town the driver turned off into a wide carriage road that wound up an avenue of elms and oaks till a turn brought In view a great sweep of em erald lawn, beds of scarlet geraniums, a fountain flashing In the golden light and a sleepy, old vine covered house that looked hospitable and picturesque. "Let us out, papa!" Implored Eus tace. "Is It fairyland?" queried Dorothy in a timid, entranced whisper. The gentle, faded woman who re ceived the travelers had a face like a cameo and appeared to harmonize ad mirably with her old fashioned sur roundings She showed Carruthers the rooms the children w ere to occupy airy, immaculate rooms, with blossoms nodding In at the windows. She offered him luncheon, which he decllm 1, apol oglzed for the Invisibility of her niece and appointed a day each week he was to come to visit the children. Already charmed by their surroundings, they let him go without a protest. When he came down the next week It was to find the two rosy, radiant and ecstatic over their environment, lie took them into town, bought them some small treasures and listened to their raptures about "Florence." She had made a mull dress for Dorothy; she had gone fishing with Eustace; she played the piano for them while they were having a game of hide and seek, low or loud as they were "hot" or "cold." And they were going to have a party one of these days, with luncheon served under the biggest oak "But who is this lady who is so kind to you?" "She's Just Florence!" they answered in chorus. "She's good as a real mam ma. only she plays like she was Just a little girl." Always he heard these tales, and al ways, It seemed, the playmate, Flor ence, was the center and source of their Joy. Later in the season an im portant business summons made it Im perative that if lie were to see the chil dren before his trip west he must run down at once. Walking up the avenue, he stopped short at the bend of the path, for on the velvet sward a game of tag was in progress. A slim, graceful young girl in a pink lawn gown was the pursued. "You're It, Florence!" cried Eustace '"••iiuphantly as he succeeded In touch- Inn the fleeing figure. And Jtl*t then, the victim paused, flushed, breathli i, lier copper sold hair loosened from its pins and falling in a bright shower be low her waist, I >orothy caught sight of the newcomer and set up a hailing shout. It's papa! Here's papa!" she cried. The captive made one wild movement toward flight, but the victor manfully held 011 to her. And, after a laughing protest, she came over to Carrot hers, where he stood bareheaded, his eyes gleaming with admiration, and held out her hand. "I've been doubly caught, I'm afraid, Mr. Carruthers! I did not dream you were coming today or I should not have been found engaged in such an undignified pastime. My name is Flor ence Varine." He leaned forward. "Mrs. Valine's daughter V" "So." She colored deliciously. "I am Mrs. Varine," she explained. "Impossible!" exclaimed Carruthers. He looked at her, amazed, mystified. Why, she could not be much over twen ty! And Claridge had said that she was a widow! "I was a very distant relative of Mr. Varine's." she explained. "He wished to leave me his property, but there would have been contention and litiga tion on the part of others more mearly related were lie to do so. Hut when he knew he was dying lie asked me to marry him that he might legally will nie all he possessed. lie died an hour after the ceremony was performed. Mr. Claridge was present." "But," stammered Carruthers, "why didn't Claridge tell me? Why was I not to see you?" "Oh, I was afraid if you knew how young and irresponsible I was you would not let me have the children to take care of. Mrs. Claridge had told me what darlings they were, and I was so lonely down here. We've had such good times together." She paused, gathering up her shining lialr. She looked at him with luminous gray eyes grown suddenly apprehensive. "You won't take them away, now that you know?" she entreated. "Assuredly not!" he made quick re ply. "They are the most fortunate children in the world. For the first time since the death of their mother I have felt quite happy about them." It was astonishing how easily the itn portant business matters of Mr. Car ruthers could be set aside. He grasped at the invitation to stay to dinner as though that meal were in truth to save him from starvation. And when he finally did discover that If he would catch his train back to the city he must exercise all haste it was with pos itive dismay that he left the three who stood on the terrace, waving him fare well. The next morning he walked into Claridge's office. "You'll have to take a run out and attend to that Montana matter, Clar idge," lie said. "I can't go." "Can't, eh? What's up? Something more important?" "Very much more important!" He was smiling like a boy, and his eyes were shining. "Fact is, I've not been seeing enough of Eustace and Dorothy. I'm going to take a room at the hotel down there thev tell me there's good fishing i > be had and I'll see more of the children." Claridge si;.red at him. Then he nod ded ami laughed. "You've seen that willful liftle widow down at Cedarville." Carruthers went off laughing. When he came in a few weeks later the tan «>! <• »nntry wind and sun was on his cl.ee!; He walked like a con queror. with his head up. and his voice had a ring g >od to hear. "Congratulate me," lie commanded. "The children are going to have the loveliest mother in all the world!" Claridge gripped the other's hand warmly, "lml're a iuckv <n»g. < ar rti thers!" "I know it. Oaridge. There isn't b king ntu'.i r heaven I'd change places with! And those children" Claridge laughed leniently. "You infernal fraud!'' he said. THE BAGPSFLS.

EAR OF DIONYSIUS. One of flie Famous \Vliiii|ierliiK IMarei of tli«* World. Among the notable whispering places of the world is the "Ear of Diouy- j Bins" of ancient Syracuse. It is in i the shape of a parabolic curve, ending j in an elliptical arch, with siiles par- j allel to Its axis, perfectly smooth and covered with a slight stalactitlc Incrus tation that renders its repercussions amazingly sonorous. It is til feet high, from 17 to V~> in breadth and IN7 deep. It lias an awful and gloomy appear ance, which, with its singular shape, perhaps gave rise to the popular and amusing paradox that Dionyeius had it constructed for the confinement of those whom he deemed inimical to his authority and that from the llttlo apartment above he could hear all the conversation among the captives who were brought to the ancient town of Syracuse iu the time of its splendor, when it was the largest In Sicily. The sound of words uttered with a lc/w voice is augmented in vaults or gal leries so as to become audible at a con Biilerable distance from the speaker. A like effect takes place In a less de gree when sound ascends from the bot tom of a deep well or when words are uttered at one extremity of a long cor ridor or passage In a building. If a pin be dropped Into a well the sound produced when it strikes the water Is distinctly heard at the mouth or the sounds of words spoken near the sur face of any well is similarly augment ed.
