His Fond Ambition
All at once Mr. Blglow sighed not
gradually, or by degree, or little by
l!": Ah. ro. Hut all at once he
k.ned. setting the plenitude ot bla
countenance Into a cast of wo that
resembled a mask of tragedy and
sighing aa though he simply bad to
'.'j It or elso burst Into tenrs. And
while this sound of sorrow la taking
physical form and rippling mournful
ly over the plumpnesa of him and oTer
the manifold china of him until It
shakes bla mighty breast with evea
mightier tremors of woe, let ua look
at Mr. Blglow and consider bla ease.
He was, then, one of those noble
men of nature wbo exemplify th
might, majesty and dominion of man,
and when be walked across a floor
or leaned against a wall the three
Fatea drew three long breath of ap
prehension and pitched a penny for It
And yet bla cheeka bloomed with th
blossom of rose and bla utterance
trembled In the tenor. When b waa
measured for bla raiment bis tailor
performed feats of pedestrlanlsm and
when he leaned over to pick up a pin
for luck the earth trembled and th
Uoddesa of Chance teetered like a
lady with the ague. And yet his smile
waa th smile of wlstfulneaa, and the
honesty 01 his gate was an Illumina
tion at which dyspeptics turned their
beads and ground their teetn In envy.
And when he walked he walked alto
gether and In the perfection of sya
cronlam. And when he slipped en th
Icy pavement the glazier presently
rubbed tbeir band together and
blessed the day. Yes, even thus waa
Mr. Biglow, the gentleman wh
sighed. , t
Oh, dear" he said.
"Why, llr. Blglow!" exclaimed Mla
Gabbleton, "What Is the matter?"
Wherefore we will now survey the
scene In general and Miss Cabblatoa
In particular. 8nug room, anugly fur
nished; Mr. Blglow sitting on
lounge, upon which he had Installed
himtelf with care through (ear that
the lounge might spring up on each
cl:lo of him and slap his ears; green
shaded lamp and a bit of mistletoe
still hanging on the chandelier. Let
us therefore turn to Miss Uabbleton
and reilecL
Spejtking boldly, then, and making
no bones about it, she waa hardly
anything else; and jumping quickly
from a glare bo horrible we will seek
the shade of similes and bide our
selves In the elystum of elusion, la
substance, so be It, Miss Gabbleton
resembled the fourth dlmentlon, and
when the focus of philosophy caught
the attention of her arms, reason ran
riot and marvelled at the mysteries.
"Why, Mr. Biglow!" exclaimed Mis
Gabbleton, "what 1 the matter?"
But with his eye on the mistletoe,
Mr. Biglow shook with 6orrow again
and made no further speech.
"Don't you feel well?" asked Mis
Gabbleton.
Mr. Blglow moved forward as
though about to speak, but he and the
lounge only groaned in concert.
"Is something troubling you, Mr.
Blglow? Is there any way I can help
you?" she naked, and caressing him
all at once with the contralto of ber
voice, she added, "Tell me, Mr. Big
low!" "Miss Gabbleton," snld Mr. Blglow.
blinking his eyes as though In per
petual surprise at the falsetto of bis
tenor, "I am not a half bad fellow!"
"Why, Mr. Biglow! 1 should say
you weren't! Why, you are one of
my dearest friends!"
"But sometimes," he continued,
with a rising Inflection, "I fuel aa If
as If as If nobody cared for mew
e-e--e!M
"Why. Mr. Biglow!"
"Nobody!" he repeated.
And la an arch, arch manner she
lifted her brows and cried: "Am I
nobody, taen?"
For a moment she seemed to him
to be nothing but a spiritual smile
floating to the shadows of the room,
but knowing that she was there all
right, he looked at the mistletoe
again and said:
"Mies Gabbleton!'
"Mr. Blglow?"
"Do you know that "
"Ye. Mr. Biglow?"
"ever since I "
"Yeea. Mr. Biglow?"
"Er-HMMr- Angelina!"
"Peter!"
He arose, and so did she; be took
a step ferward, and so did she; he
took another, and so did sbo end
they met beneath the mistletoe.
So much for the prologue, th pre
lude and the preface. Let ua look
carefully now together and consider
those things that bide themselves in
the Innermost heart of man.
Half an hour bad passed and they
were sitting on the lounge. On his
face was the rapt look of a mystic
whose ideuls are fast being material
Ized, but now anu the i a look of wist
fulness pa-std over his countenance
as if as if
"Are yiu happy?" he whispered.
"Awfully," bo answered. "Lut "
"Ye-e-e-e-e-ea. Ivter?"
And dropping on bis knees with a
fearful lu.p.:' t ho caught and found
his most plaintive tenor, crying:
"Oh. do rot call mo Peter!"
Adding, with th vender smile of
one hose uroams have all com
true:
"Call me Tlddleywlnks'!"
Needed a Starter.
On night little Margaret, on kneel
lug by her mamma to say her prayer,
hnlnhtd. "Now t lay me," and forgot
"Mamma," she said, "you Just atari
lie and I can go a-whlzxing."
Slew Rat of Travel.
A snail s rate of travel waa esc
tained by experiments Id Florence
Halt a dozen sunlls were permitted to
ciawl oet-veen two poiula tea feet
apart Exact time was kept from
the start to the finish, and thus the
average pace was learned. The fig
ures wer then put Into tables of
feet, yards and furlongs, and It was
found that It would tak a spall exaet
ir fourteen, day i to travel ji.
MOUNTED NURSES.
MAT BECOMK A FKATUTtB OF
TUB ENGLISH ARMY.
Trained to AH the Art of Naral
To Bind Up Soldier's Wound and
rir.o -it:i mm t 11 siui.
Army nursing may be revolution
ised as the result of a course of train
ing Instituted at the North London
Riding School, where the Islington
Drill Brigade Girls' Yeomanry, twenty-five
strong, Is showing what
mounted horses could do In the Held.
The Innovation will be brought
unofficially to the notice of the Brit
ish military department at the next
annual show of the navy and army,
and It Is believed the army medical
corps will give the Idea more than
passing consideration. The work of
the girls' brigade Is a revelation to
every army ofllcr who witnesses It.
They are trained to all the arts of
nursing before being advanced to the
brigade aervlce. In this thetr work
I to bind up th wounds of any sol
dier found helpless In the field, hoist
him upon their horses and rid with
him to the field hospital. All this
tbey do In their regular drills with
surprising proficiency.
Army officers are already discuss
ing the practicability of th plan.
The most reasonable objection urged
is the question of being able to
mount nurses whore every available
horse Is needed for fighting and
transport work. Most of the officers
admit that the women would be in
valuable If they could be equipped
and so maintained.
Admittedly It would be out of th
question to have such a mounted
nurse corps In desert fighting, such
a English troops aro frequently re-
NURSE AND WOUNDED SOLDIER,
quired to engage In, but oa Euro
pean battlefields there Is no reason
why tbey could not be used to dis
tinct advantage.
The Islington brigade ha been
officially Invited to attend the next
military tournament, and It Is by
no means improbable that they may
ultimately t tb nucleus of similar
eorps throughout the army.'
Announcing Engagement,
A clever hostess announced th
the forthcoming nuptials of a young
daughter In the following manner:
Tbe table was beautifully decorated
with a bank ot white roses and as
paragus ferns In the center, while
suspended from tbe Chandelier waa
a bisque Cupid carrying a small sil
ver dart. He was Beamingly watch
ing the effect of his silver dart that
pierced twe tiny white hearts Im
bedded In the bank of roses, contain
ing tbe names of the two young peo
ple, likewise the date of the forth
coming nuptials. "The best yet,"
exclaimed an enthusiastic guest, "for
It Is simple pretty and nothing over
done about It." '
Braa Water a Cleaner.
Few people know bow useful bran
Is for cleaning. For painted and Tar
nished woodwork It la Invaluable, re
moving the dirt without destroying
the finish.
Colored goods, which usually fade
when washed, will not lose color If
washed In bran water. It la excel
lent aa a scalp cleanser and la good
for the hair, making It glossy.
Used Instead of eoaa It whKen
and softens the bands.
To prepare bran water, fill a small
bag an ordinary aalt bag te ex
cellent for this purpose with bran,
place it in a pall, cover with boiling
water, and It la ready for use.
All V'Xd Trunks.
An all beech wood trunk Is now
being offered In seme of the shops
with the assurance tba-t It will posi
tively withstand the rough usage of
much travel. These trunks come In
three sizes and they have rounded
corners, which are neither painted
nor fancifully decorated, but tbe
plain and heavy sections of wood are
finished naturally with more wood
braces and brass reinforcements.
Even the trays are of beechwood
overlaid on both sides with small
patterned linen in tan or gray. They
are comparatively light an I look aa
If they would stand a good deal of
bard weor and tear.
Criticism of Nature.
"It baa always seemed to me that
Nature Is at fault," observes the
Phllosople.- of Folly, "when sh
gives a man. a mouth capable of bit
ing off more than he can chaw."

Miss Bellum's Assistant
Miss Helium, pub'.lc tenograpricf
lor the Hyperbo'e bulling, would
trve lost her well earnel reputation
fcr asuteness If her latest investment
had been made known. It was an
asrlstan'.. That In Itself, I grant you,
I rol f-VrrorTnnrv. but til's nsr.'st
ant did not really assist, and that
does look queer, you see.
It came about that Miss Bellum's
st'dden discovery that she had mora
work ' than she could attend to, and
from the advertisement which she
promptly Inserted in a morning paper.
The result of this ad one of many
results, of course, but the one which
concerns us was little Miss Marjory
Holt. Now. Miss P.el'um desired a
discreet combination of industry and
sedatoness; she did not approve of
flirtation even In a business office. By
this you will see that Miss Bellum
waa no longer young; she was In
deed, on tbe ahady side of thirty
three, and plump and majestic-looking
besides. But still her heart was
tender, and when Marjory appeared,
a alander wisp of a girl w th a crop
of chestnut curls and an air of gen
teel starvation, she engaged her on
the spot and agreed to pay her the
magnificent sum of $S a week.
This performance was the more
erratic that Mar Jo -y. wbo had picked
np typewriting while copying her
father's sermons at home In the par
se nage, boasted that sh sometime
could do several lines without a mis
take, knew nothing whatever of
shorthand, and at the ridiculous at
of It eou'd not be expected to erei
appear aedate, . .--
hTren on ID a week It Is poss.ble
c find enough to eat. and Marjory
Improved both In looks and ab.llty.
It was not until spring, however, that
Miss Bellum heard her proteire's
story. It was late one afternoon,
when the work on hand bad been cn.
ished, and In Miss Bellum's otil e,
that was an event worthy of celebra
tion. Of course, there was a very
nice young man in the story, whu
rat not only very nice, b'lt also quite
rich, and he had wanted to marry
little Marjory Holt.
"Though I never oould under
stand," said Mrrjory Bi .cerely, "whj
be should want to, for I am qu te,
quite ordinary!"
"What was the ..latter ('Idn't you
like him?" Inquired MIb- lell'.im
briskly,
Ob, yes, very much, It was cn'y
that I was dreadful'y tired of belrg
taken care of; I wanted a chance to
took out for myne'f. And to marry
means to be taken care of alnuvs,.
you know." M ss Bellum noililej
with an oud mixture of Wsltulne.'S
and defiance; to the outsider mar
riage often means Ju?t that.
"The time will come when you
would give the world for that one
thing, child," she predicted grimly.
"I know It Is lonely In the city
sometimes," Marjory admitted. "Just
rventngc," she explnined qu'ckly.
"Of course, on'y 'n the evenir.gs,"
assented Miss Ee'lum.
"And Bundays, when It rains,"
dded Marjory honestly.
"How about Christmas?" asked
Miss Bellum. Ihf girl shivered; th
memory was still fresh of that Christ
mas evening spent In th hall bed
room of a Bouth End lodging hou-e,
with only the poor cheer of a red tis
sue paper bell bung In tbe window;
for on $6 a week one does not buy
bolly If one Is wise. Marjory re
turned to her story quickly.
"Well, Rudolpb 3ald be wou'd tak
good care of me. and I wanted oh,
so much to take care of myself, for
I never had. So I took a year to
make up my mind, and he persuaded
father to let me come up to the city."
"Have you seen him lately?" The
girl shook her head,
"Not since then. I think he must
have forgotten; or perhaps" her
breath caught "be may have stop
ped car'ng." Miss Bellum's heart
must have been hard after all, for
she was actually pleased to observ
tbat the girl's chin quivered slightly;
she thought It a very good sign.
"Now, I'm sure it will come out all
right," she observed cheerful y, and
proved a better prorbet than sh
knew, tor bard upon her words them
came a knock upon tbe d X.. and
young man entered a young man
who looked as though be might b
Very nice Indeed, and also quite rich.
"Is Miss Holt" ha began. Mar
jory turned.
"RuJolph!" she breathed.
"I've got some telephoning to do,"
raid Miss Bellum burr'edly, and tep,
.lng Into the booth mi.' sure that
the double door was latched beb nd
rer. With a comprehend ng glance at
M as Bellum's broad back, Just vlsl
be between Jibe curts ns. ihe young
man was at Marjory s side in uii In
stant. He studied her faca for t
long time before he Inquired wry
gently;
"How Is It, litt'e girl are yo
ready to come and take enre of
me?" Martoty's face lighted.
"Let's take car ot each other,
