"I have used Dr. David Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy with the most bene
ficial results. I was troubled with

these places came, and was always ready
lor her so as not to loe a smtile sex-ond of
the time that she was in his view.
Once her eyes met his upturned gaze
Hint night, he walked to hi poor lodgings
rtith his he.ul among the stars. After that
;je found her look turned towards him on
icveral occaMona. ()n tho?e iiiplits he lay
wak for hours nuking hini-elf whether
the smile in those beautiful eyes could pos
sibly have been foj- him; but by morning
ue hail called himself a fool for imagining
r'or one instant t hat what was obviously
an aei idrnt m her art iig. could have sitrniri
cance for him. Vet, for all hi wise reason
ing, thoe glances made him absui dly
liappy.
Then caina c blow that hurt him cruelly.
Sella was - I mr in America. Kven the
pleasure of looking at her was now to be
ienied him. He would not see her for a
:ong time perhaps never Again,
A farewell performance was announced,
ltid, sad at heart, Uiikv took his accustomed
nlaee. Kctnre then lie had always felt a
thrill of pleasure and pride when came the
thuner.i of applause in acknowledgment of
Kella's superb art, but on this night it tilled
nis heart with sadness and a great lump
.a me to his throat. Thi was the last time
hat he would see the triumph of the woman
le loved the last time.
Then, as the curtain fell, he did a thing
;hat he had never dared before to do. He
piickly made his way to the stage door and
finited there to watch her departure. As
-he passed him the fragrance of her dainty
lilks and laces seemed to hold hiis whole
intil in bondage, and when her rustling
diirt brushed him he nearly swooned.
She carried a magnificent bouquet that

As she took it she looked straight into his
ves. J nen, quickly drawing nnotner nios
cm trom among its lovely fellows, she
milingly thrust it with the other back into

Keep them, and and thank you," she
oid.
Kverv now and agnin, during tlie year that
ollowed, atvdacious. thoughts filled Dicky's
nind as he gazed on his-most cherished pos
ssions two withered roes. Soon after,
owever, he usually read in some newspaper
me of the numerous accounts of Kella's
rans-Atlantic successes. Then his splendid
lopes collapsed dismally. Yet they were
hvavs there, and though he did not know
t, grew stronger and stronger until they
erame part of his life.
At last jNella came back. She was to open

nd his position had been altered to one
rom which he had a far better view of the

It was not that thought, however, which
et his heart pounding with excitement as
ie went towards the theater thatidny the
lay on which he was to behold her again
fter a year. In his heart there was a great
iope that she would recognize him in some
cay or another. Surely she mu-t. Then he
vourd wait at the stage door, and perhaps
he wouhi speak to htm again.
Hitter and terrible was his disappoint
ment. Not even a glance came his way.
The next dav he was not at his place in
he orchestra. Instead he sat at home in his
oom before a table covered with manuscript
ongs. They were those which he had writ
en out of hi great love.
He was going away where he did not
now or care. During the last yenr he had
o lived on the almost unconscious hope
born in him by the gift of roses, that the
realization that it had been founded on noth
ing had dazed his every faculty. It was as
though he had fallen from the clouds.
At firt, when the wish to leave the place
of his sorrow had come to him, he had de
termined to burn. his. song5; but they were
his children the only children of his love
and he could not. Then came a wild desire
that she should know of his heart' longing.
and after examining them all to make sure
that they, at least, were worthy of her at
tention, he gathered them together to send
them to her.
He took The withered rosea from his
breast. She should have them too. Press
ing them passiunateh to his lips he laid them
tenderly on the top of the pile.
Then the stupor that had dulled his un
derstanding went, and in its place ao awful
despair eei.ed him. He laid his head on his
arms and sobbed sobbed as only can the
man from whom is taken bis only hold on
life.
For a long while he lay. Then there came
a tap on the door. He did not hear it. The
door opened genlly. and a woman entered.
It was Nella. Quietly he iepped to the
tble. Her eyes rested on the rose. Phe
read her name on the dedication of the ong
on which they rested and a great sob, half
of sorrow, hjlf of joy rose in hr throat.
Very tenderly she touched the bowed head.
Dicky fctarted up and btaied at ln-r with
out comprehension. Then a lig!it came into
bis eye. '"You!'" he said, huskily.
''Yes.M," she answered, smiling.
"Hut but 1--"
"Tell me," she said, stopping him; ''why

Though her voh-e was without emotion

"I teen use I love you," he whispered, hi

The artiticiul production of pearls
in large quantities is a simple problem,
in the view of Dr. 11. Lyster Jameson.
One cause of pearl formation proves
to be a worm, which has its origin iu
the cockle or "tapestry shell," from
which the larvae pass to the mussel,
and may be eaten with the latter by
the eider or scoter, reaching maturity
in the intestines of these birds. If
the larvae remain in the mussel long
enough pearls are formed. With full
knowledge of the life histories of these
parasites, it is believed that pearl oy
sters or pearl mussels may be infected
to any desired extent by placing them
in infected company, and the infected
moliuskscan then be left to themselves
in suitable beds until the pearls are
surhciently developed.

We soniet inn en bingh nt the stage villain
and hi ,wn that aie d-uk,' " said a I'M-
iro laver tlie other day. '"Hut occasion
n 1 ' - there i a villain in real life who innke-
t' e sttigc villnin ionk cluap. There i fl
ca-io recorded in the New York supreme
cmrt reports in which a youtif man named
Hcmy Heed pla ed tlie 1 nle of villa in.
"Heed had a cousin Janet, who wa mar
ried to a man named Hnhinson n snlc-man
tor a huge dry goods house in New ork
cityand happily married, too. Heed was
Jlrs. liobinson'tt only nrar relative. Though
several years younger than she he had con
eeiveil tor her a mail passion winch nau ;
never been treated by her ceriouly but ,
always rather as a joke. After the wed
ding he disappeared for awhile and when
he made hi- appetwance again he seemed
nnif'i c!inf d and wsb t'dtm intn the hone
by his cou-in and her husband and treated
as one of the family.
''One of Hobinon's particular customer?
came in from the country one day on his
first visit to New York. He wanted to ee
the sights and particularly the 'Tender
loin,' Hobinson thought it impossible tn
refine him and an engagement was made
for that evening. Heed heard the engage
ment made and went out and hunted up a
private detective. During the next 24 hours
Hobinson wa shadowed and the report was
given to Heed,
"Some month later Hobinson went to
Kurope on business for his firm. This was
the chance Heed had been waiting for. He
went to his cousin and under pretense of
doing 'a painful duly,' told hi story. Brief
ly it was to the effect that Hobinson' life
was vi vy immoral. Mrs. Hobinson refused
to believe it and her woman's intuition snw
the motive underlyiiig Heed's pretended
'painful duty.' Hut n'eed presented the
proofs to her.
"She took the story to an eminent lawyer,
a personal friend of her hu-band's ami he
began an investigation. He called in Reed,
who told his story with great plausibility
and apparent frankness, but withheld Rob
inson's motive in visiting the places in ques
tion, the facts about the country customer
at who request the trip was made and
failed to say that the visit had been merely
a general Fiirvey of the slums. His story
was so artfully mixed with truth and false
hood that the lawyer at last believed it.
"Then he cent for Mrs. Robinson and told
her his conclusions. She finally accepted
his view of the matter. She filed a bill for
divorce, notified her husband and then die-
appeared from all save her lawver.
"Hobinson, of course, hurried home. He
could find no truce of his wife and her lawyer
ret used to see him. I he case came up lie-
fore a referee, nnd Robinson, as if in a
dream, listened to the chain of circumstan
tial evidence forged link bv link. When I
woman took the stand to give false testi
mony he at last awoke to the fact that it
wan all a conspiracy, but it was too late,
The referee's report was against him and
the court granted a decree of divorce.
"Reed's connection with the cae did not
appear at any stage. In fact, it was to him
that Robinson turned for comfort.
"Not long after the decree both men were
bathing nt the seashore. The undertow
caught Reed and but for the assistance of
the man he had so terribly wronged he
would have been drowned. At the risk of
his own life Robinson helped Reed until
they were both taken ahore. nearly dead
Reed never rallied. Pneumonia set in and
in less than a week he was dead. Hefore he
died he tried to undo the wrong he had done
He sent for his cousin's lawyer and gasp
ingly told him the details of the plot.
"A few days afterwaid Robinson and hi
wife were remarried by the same clergyman
and with the same witnesses who had of
ficiated at their former marriage. Here is
where tu? drama on the stage would end
the villain is punished and the hero and
heroine marry and live happily ever after,
Rut we all know this is not the way in every
day life.
"For several years Robinson and his wife
lived happily and two sons came to bless
the reunion. Robinson prospered in busi
ness, but at last he died quite suddenly
He left no will and his wife applied for let'
ters of administration. A distant cousin of
her dead husband contested the applica
tion and the case went finally to the supreme
court ot the state.
"The cousin contended that the second
mauiage of Robinson to his wife was void
on the ground that the decree of divorce ob
tnined by his wife contained a clause for
bidding him to remarry.
"Mrs. Robinson's lawyer offered to prove
the second marriage, but, fortunately -f
her. as you will see later, the court refused
to allow it. In delivering its opinion the
court said: 'It appears that the decedent's
wite had been divorced from him and he had
been forbidden to marry, as the statute
provides in every case w here a divorce i
granted. Really, the prohibition was not
necessary and merely in the nature of an
instruction and- friendly warning. He was
still a married man and incapable of en
tering into any fave an illegal bigamous
second marriage within the jurisdiction of
this state. If any such ceremony was per
formed, it was void.
"ine coiHin iook an ot Koumson s prop
erty and the widow and her two sous were
lctt penniless. In less than a year Mr
Robinson followed her husband and the boys
found refuge in a charitable institution.
"Now note this: Had the judge permitted
proof of Mrs. Robinson's second marriage
it would have been his duty to order her
arrest and she would have been indicted un
der the criminal code for bigamy and tlie
punishment would have been five years in
the penitentiary and a fine of l,(KXh The
