How they had dared to woo and win
When early spring was cold.
We sometimes supped on dewberries,

But oft the fanners' wives at eve

iip to Peephaven to put lu
If O n few days there with a
l friend. The reports of the
' fOW quaint old town by the sea
fascinated him.
His friend Aldeu lind gone to Deep
haven early in the summer, and bad
written as laudatory letters as possible.
Then he began to speak of another
charm Deephaven afforded. "I can't
help pitying her n litt, thoush it's
absurd to say that about Mrs. Worth
ington. P.nt she's so young, and has
nch a bright, unaffected vivacity, and
lier eyes are very round, and her eye
brows so arched, and on her temples
there is the dimmest little touch of a
wandering blue vein, such as shows
sometimes UirouUli a baby's skin. You
can analyze, Curtis, and I can only
sympathize. She has been married
once, and lost'lier husband. That was
over two years ago."'
Each subsequent letter had some al
lusion tojirs. Worthhigton. Then
there vraA no letter at all for a week.
Then a .short letter without any allu
sion toher. But Alden urged, almost
plaiuiely. that Curtis would come to
The day Curtis arrived the two men
ot a boat and drifted around In the
Jittle bay. They passed a small prom
ontory Jutting picturesquely out into
the rippling water. Alden looked glow
. ering at the top of it.
"You see that miserable little cape?"
tie asked, indicating by his glance the
charming promontory. "Ten days, ago
Mrs. Worthington refused me up
there."
"What shocking taste!" murmured
Curtis consolingly. "Not in scenery,
Vut In husbandry."
"Sy dear follow," went on Alden, im
pressively, "listen; the afternoon I
made such a fool of myself I began to
skirmish about for an opportunity to
vow my sentiments. She detected the
symptoms, and led me to the top of
that cape. There is a very comfortable
,rock there for sitting on, nnd Just be
low it a small grassy shelf where a
man can stretch himself out. Mrs.
JWorthington perched herself cosily on
the rock and looked at the sea. I
sprawled out on the grassy ledge and
looked at her. Well, when I had made
,tbe plunge she was 'so sorry' If her
manner had led me to suppose that I
bad engaged her affection. 'I think,'
he said In a real childlike burst of
Jnnocence, 'that the air of this place
must have something to' do -with It.
Yon are the seventh man who has pro
posed to me this summer on this spot!
Isn't It odd?'"
"I think it's a nice humorous spec
tacle,'! said Curtis. "The little widow
leading her victim to this rock when
she scents a proposal and giving him
his coup de grace there. But, Tom,
what a connoisseur she must be by this
time in masculine love avowals!"
"She said I did it very nicely, one of
the best, in fact But she may have
told each of the others something
equally flattering. The better I did it
the more humiliating the throw
flown." "But what a consolation, though, in
knowing there are six others in ex
actly the same boat!" exclaimed Curtis,
comfortingly. "Gad! I am keen to see
this belle dame sans mercl."
"I've no doubt she would be delighted
to add you to her list as the eighth,"
retorted Alden. "This strikes me as
,a Very pretty record in scalps for one
summer in a quiet place like Deep
lavcn. "Well, you are forearmed. When you
find her steering you toward that rock,
either change your course or your con
versation. It is evidently dangerous
for lovers. What a triumph it would
Fbe for her to wing such a coy old boy
torn you, Curtis. By Jove," he added,
kindling with a new idea, "why don't
f ou couch a lance for your devastated
jex? Go in, make the widow love you,
and then 'be so rorry that you could
fcave done anything to have aroused
such hopes.' Be the 'Avenger of the

Shree .weeks later two figures loomed
-np on the crest of the little cape, and
iwere sllhoutted for a moment against
Abe pure blue sky. The lady had seated
tierself upon the rock.
"This is a beautiful spot," murmured
the lady. "I love to look out on the
bright, happy, sparkling sea."

side."
The lady's eyes became more dreamy
as she turned them from the breezy
blue of the sea and let them rest ten
derly on the back of his head.
"Esther," he said after a moment, not
altering his position, and calling her by
her first name with perfect calmness,
though he had never so addressed her
before, "why did you refuse those
seven men this summer?"
'Tor the excellent reason that I did
not wish to marry any one of them,'
the lady replied promptly, and with a
slight asperity; "I did not love them,
as it her thought was of what love
meant, rather than of the unloved
seven.
"Yet yon proposed coming out here
this afternoon," he persisted, without
changing his glance, "to this Itock of
the Departed Seven. Why?"
'Terhaps, because I thought the air
of the place would be good for you,'
she murmured, regarding him with a
faint, arch smile.
He remained motionless and silent
for a moment. Then he shifted his
head so that bis chin rested In the
hollow of his hand, and said, as if
abstractedly: "Seven plus one is
eight." With a somewhat flippant air,
he added: "Are you so very fond of
addition, Mrs. Worthingtoni"
lie heard no reply. Turning his head
quickly, he saw that the soft smile
with which she had been regarding
him had faded from her lips. Her
beautiful eyes were turned toward the
sea, with a veiled expression in them.
Just then, too. there was the faintest
quiver of her lips.
lie sprang to his feet, took a step for
ward, sank upon the grass, so close to
her that her knees pressed against him,
and grasped both her hands tightly.
His eyes, like sapphire lights which
love had kindled, and with the passion
breaking forth in his voice at last,
he said hotly: "Esther, I love you.
You shall marry n.e."

SHORT LIVED DOCTORS.
The Habits of Ihe riiysician that Canse
His Eventual Enclinc.
The diseases which claim the most
victims among physicians relatively td
all males are gout and diabetes, anil
there is a high relative mortality from
diseases of the nervous system and
kidneys. '
From ihe nature of his habits the,'
physician is not subject to accidents:
and, though he is brought Into comae)
with infection to a greater extent
than other men, his preventive means;
are sucessful and his mortality from
infection is very low. Freedom from
prolonged muscular strains and high
blood tension apparently saves him
from arteriosclerosis, but suicide elainii
many, and so do the drug habits ac
quired by the nervously exhausted. It
has been said that three-fourths of
French morphine users are physicians.
The cause of the physician's early
death is evidently the excessive ner
vous expenditure, insufficient vest and
defective nutrition, inseparable from
his calling, with its broken and re
strlcted sleep, irregular hours of work,
rest and meals, the worry when lives'
depend upon his Judgment and the lacki
of a day of complete relaxation in
each week. The physician who sees'
his patients every day in the week,
month after months, and cannot learn
to forget them when he goes home,
merely burns the candle at both ends.
He violates the law obeyed by every
other animal, that there should be

The Root, of
Gambling
Traced to Primitive Man In
This Chicago Theory.
I W. THOMAS,
he University of Chi
cago, has a new and inter
esting theory on gambling.
Ho looks at the passion
from e.vactly the opposite point of
view held by most of us, and one of the
conclusions lie draws is that the prob
lem is not so much to account for the
gambler in the midst of us as for the
staid and matter-of-fact man of busi
ness. All classes of society and the one
sex, quite as much as the other, argues
Prof. Thomas, have a deep interest In
all forms of contest involving skill and
chance nnd that interest mounts high
er and higher as the risk and damage
become greater and greater. And this
Is but natural, for the conflict arouses
in us the instincts awakened during
the childhood of the race In the strug
gle for fond and the rivalry for mates.
An organism such as man's, dependent
on offensive and defensive movements
for food and life, could not have been
developed without having developed at
the same time an Interest in dangerous
or precarious situations.
The fact that our interests and en
thusiasms are aroused hy situations of
the conflict type can be showii by n
glance at the situations that arouse
them most readily. War. for Instance,
Is simply an organized form of fight,
and as such is most attractive or. to
say the least, it arouses the interests
powerfully. With the accumulation of
property and the growth of intelligence
it became apparent that war was a
wasteful nnd an unsafe process, and
political and personal considerations
led us to avoid It as much as possible.
But deprecate war as much as we may,
we still are quick to acknowledge that
it is the most exciting of games.
Recently the Rough Riders in this
country nnd more recently still the
young men of the aristocracy of Eng
land went to war from motives of pa
triotism, no doubt, but there are nnmis
takable evidences they a Wo regarded it
as the greatest sport they were likely
to have a chance at in a lifetime. And
there is unmistakable evidence that the
emotional attitude of women toward
war is no less intense.
So gladitorial shows, bear baiting,
bull fighting, dog fighting, cock light
ing, prize fighting and football may be
mentioned as examples of conflict that
awaken in us the emotional feelings of
the contest nnd give us by suggestion
the emotions similar to those endured
by the contestants, with-ut subjecting
ns to the danger of injuries that they
are obliged to undergo.
Now, as long as man was in a state
of nature, following bis instincts, rov
ing, fighting, hunting, wooing, contriv
ing, he was happy; and such tasks as
he imposed upon himself he found
pleasurable and aot ltksomc. This
sort of life continued for an immense
stretch of time, and it was but as yes
terday in the history of the white race
that population became dorse or game
was exhausted, and man found himself
obliged to adjust himself to changed
conditions or perish.
Instead of slaughtering the' ox he fed
It, housed it In winter, bred from it,
reared the calf, yoked it to a plow,
plowed tile fields, sowed seeds, dug out
the weeds and gathered, thrashed and
ground the grain. This was a labor,
mechanical and irksome, lacking the
constant change aud the excitement
and the nervous tension that man ex
perienced in the state of nature.
But, while this labor itself was dis
agreeable, its product- served to sat
isfy man's physical wauls. The habits
of the race adjusted themselves to
what the memlers of it were far from
enjoyiug emotionally. Not all social
groups reconciled themselves to a life
of labor and many individuals of our
own race failed to conform to it. Many
men whose natural opportunities or in
telligence might have made them la
borers in various industries hewers of
wood or drawers of water have drift
ed Instead into various occupations
where there are possibilities of excite-
men, coachmen, barkeepers and bar
bers are more or less valuable to so
ciety and manv of them are vpvv hnrd

an occasional chance to ee or Join a
fight or game to talk or ,nT (h
Klnaliv ,ve j,ave tlie extreuie CMM of
the tramp and the criminal, refusing to
accept the social arrangement at all.
On the other hand, business of most
kinds nnd industrial pursuits represent
artificial habits; they are more or less
regular, monotonous mwl recurrent- tl,o
same situation coining up again and
again. They present no problems that
throw an exciting strain on the atten
tion and they produce no emotions like
those of the conflicting interests.
We are now in a position to under
stand bow gambling comes to exist and
why it is so fascinating. It is a means
of keeping up our Interests in conflict
find it secures for us the sensations aud
(Ihe excitements of conflict with little
effort and no drudgery. In gambling,
too, the risk is imminent, the attention
)s strained, the emotions are strong and
even where the element of skill is re
moved entirely and the decision is left
1o chance, the player has feelings akin
to that of being in a conflict himself.
From this point of view it is less dif
ficult to account for the gambler than
for the man of business. The gaming
nstinct is born iuf all normal persons;
It wag acquired during the earliest ex-
P03T,
perlences of the human race. The in
stinct is In Itself right and Indispensa
ble, but we make a difference lu the
uses to which It Is put. It Is valued In
war and business. It expresses Itself
In a thousand forms Ri the games of
children and in college athletics. It
meets with approval in such expres
sions of the passion as golf, tennis and
billiards, but society justly condemns
the instinct If it is not used In some
way to further production or create
values. The value may be In the in
creased' health and vigor which the
business man derives from recreation,
or It may be in the creation of wealth
by this same man lu competitive busi
ness. But the gamester pure and simple is
not regarded with favor by society, be
cause he creates no values, aud is,
therefore, parasitical aud a dlsorgau
izcr of the habits of others.-Chicago

REASON AND FUN IN ANIMALS.
Performances or Beetles That Hlntnt
Possessing lluinnti Trait..
The sagacity of ants Is so well known
that it has led a few naturalists to sus
pect that many are endowed with rea
son. In a recent Issue of Nature, W.
Galloway describes the behavior of
some tiny black beetles which seems
to point In the same direction, aud
even to a sense of fun, also.
The insects were about three-eighths
of an inch long, and were engaged in
rolling ou a gentle slope balls of ma
terial, half an inch In diameter, which
they evidently meant to store for food.
Generally they would work in pairs,
one beetle in front of the ball, pulling
on it, and the other behind, pushing.
Occasionally the ball would run away,
but the beetles would follow and re
cover it, and conduct it to its destina
tion. Once a ball that had escaped
changed its course abruptly. The pur
suing beetles went down the grade to
its foot beside a water course. Failing
to find it, they traversed the route up
and down several times, but without
discovering where It had gone. This
behavior was not so very wonderful,
perhaps, but an additional Incident
mentioned by Mr. Galloway Is cer
tainly a little more so.
A solitary beetle rolling a compara
tively new ball had reached a distance
of nine or ten Inches from the heap
when a second unoccupied beetle, com
ing from the opposite direction, stood
up ity front of the rolling ball as if
with the intention of pulling it forward
and assisting the first. Instead of do
ing so, however, it brought the ball to
a dead stop. In vain the first beetle
tried to move the ball; the second held
it fast. The first then got down and
peeled round the side of the ball, ap
parently with the object of oscertain
ing the nature of the obstacle. While
this examination was proceeding the
second, with its forefeet still resting
upon the upper rart of the ball, neither
pushed nor moved in any way.
The first then stood up again behind
the ball and pushed it as before, but
still the ball did not move. For the
second time the beetle got down, made
an examination as before, then, crouch
ing with its back well under the lower
curve of the ball, heaved with all its
might in the Same way as a workman
does In similar circumstances but the
ball remained stationary. The first
beetle then came out from under the
ball, and was proceeding round its
right hand side with some new inten
tion, when the two seomedMo catch
sight of each other. The second beetle
threw itself on the ground with the
quickness of thought, and fled pursued
by the .other, both running at their ut
most speed.
Fear, and a sense of guilt, seemed
to spur the flight of the one, resentment
nnd anger the pursuit of the other. In
a chase which was continued for a dis
tance of six inches the fleeing beetle,
which had started with an advantage
of about an inch nnd a half, increased
the distance between its pursuer and it
self to more than two inches, when
the former, seeing the futility of fur
ther pursuit, stopped, returned to the
ball, and resumed its occupation of
rolling it.
The reason why the second beetle
stopped the ball, remained absolutely
motionless waen the other got down
to reconnoitre, and ran nway when it
saw it was discovered, is not apparent.
Mr. Galloway suspects, though, that
the performance was inspired by a love
of amusement.
Cute of Sad Disappointment.
The 'phone in the office of a down
town establishment devoted to dry
goods and various articles of feminine
apparel rang sharply and the head
bookkeeper responded. The voice he
heard was a feminine voice. It was
somewhat indignant and it began con
versntion without preliminaries.
"Those bones you sent up are alto
gether too large," said the voice. "I
told you I wanted small bones. This is
my little dog's birthday, and I wanted
to give her some nice, dainty little
bones as a special treat. And here
you have sent up some great enormous
things, only fit for a St. Bernard. My
poor Flossie, with her dainty ' little
teeth, never could manage them in the
world, and she aud I are both awfully
disappointed."
'I beg your pardon, madam," said
the bookkeeper in astonishment, "but I
am afraid you have rung up the wrong
place. This is not a market, and the
only bones we ever send out are the1
kind that come in corsets." Providence

they reached the goal, and those whose
ealeflatlons were wrong were then
eliminated. The first three left in the
line were counted winners.

LINCOLN'S WIT.
That and Ridicule Were Ills Wrapotis ot
Ofl'enie nnd Defense.
Wit aud ridicule were Lincoln's
weapons of offense and defense, and
he probably laughed more jury cases
out of court than any other man who
practiced at the bar.
"I once heard Mr. Lincoln defend a
man in Bloomington against a charge
of passing counterfeit money," Vice
President Stevenson told the writer.
"There was a pretty clear case against
the uccue'ed, but when the chief wit
ness for the people took -the stand he
stated that his name was J. Parker
Green, and Lincoln reverted to this tin
moment he rose to cross-examine.
Why J. Tarker Green? What did the
J. stand for? John? Well, why didn't
the witness call himself John P.
Green? That was his name, wasn't it?
Well, what was the reason he didu't
wish to be known by his right name?
Did J. Parker Green have anything to
conceal, and if not, why did J. Parker
Green part his name in that way?
And so on. Of course the whole ex
amination was farcical.'' Mr. Steven
son continued, "but there was some
thing irresistibly funny in the varying
tones and inflections of Mr. Lincoln's
voice as he rang the changes upon the
man's name; nnd nt the recess the very
boys in the street took it up as a slogan
and shouted 'J. Parker Green!' all
over the town. Moreover, there was
something In Lincoln's way of inton
ing his questions which made me sus
picious of the witness, and to this day
I have never been able to rid my mind
of the absurd impression that there
was something not quite right about J.
Parker Green. It was all nonsense,
of course; but the Jury must have been
affected as I was, for Green was dis
credited and the defendant went free."

It was a grim joke for the working
men of St. Petersburg to elect Rosa
as their Oelt gate to tie National As
sembly; tht aforesaid Rosa being a
four-footed creature of the canine spe
cies. The argument, declares the Phil
adelphia. Rord. of the voters was
that the dog would cost only seven
kopecks a day for Its keep, and would
be quite as useful a representative of
their interests as any other candidate
of theirs who would iiavo a chance of
election.
The sturdy oak of"the English
language has attained its present ov
ershadoVing dimensions in the open
8unlight (and by natural processes ot
growth. TSio proposal to let a number
of experimenters put it in a hothouse
and prune iV.i lop It as they will is
not likely to Vommend Itself to the
English speakitltf world in general,
laments the NewYork Tribune.
