Henry Irwin better known In the Kuoteoay Country aa "Father Pat" will come aa a ahock to all who had the honor of hla acquaintance. Father Pat died'In Montreal, tbe other day, while on hie way to England whither he waa going to enjoy a well earned reat and to recruit hit health which had become somewhat shattered by yeara of wprk In the mining camps of the Kootenaya. Hla death I. an Irreparable lose to hla frlenda and will leave a blank In tbe peraonelle of the Kootenaya which will ba Impossible to fill. First aad everytbing elae afterwarda waa Father Pat'a watchword. He had a heart that waa alwaya open and ready to alleviate hnman suffering, mental or bodily, and often at the coat of the neceaaitiee of life tor hlmaelf. Time aad time again he haa turned ont of his own cabin and bed to nnrse therein some fever stricken miner. Many a time has be given his last dollar to one whom be thought needed It more than himself. On one of hla tripe to Eaat Kootenay In '98 Father Pat turned up In a very awell ault of eiothea, and it. mnat be remembered that Father Pat as a rule did not wear good clothes, and the writer re. marked the fact and twitted Father Pat with being a dnde. "My dear fel- ,ow" said Father Pat: "the hotel keep- era In Hoasland gave me theae (or a Chrlatmaa preaent because they knew that I could not keep money," and it waa true that the hotel men of Golden city knew that had they given Father Pat money he would have given It to tome one that he thought more needy than hlmaelf inaide of 24 hours. This is given aa a small example of the character of the man,which came under the personal observation of the writer. The hletory of Britiab Columbia will, ao donbt be written aome day and of courae the early history of the Kootenaya will be part of the theme, Thle will be Incomplete without the etory of Father Pat that good man who lived up*to that goldtn rule, lhat embraces more than all the churchea can teach, he loved his fellow man. Rev. Irwin wae a native of Ireland and a graduate of Kettle college, Oxford, He waa ordained aa a clergyman of the Church of England In 1888 and waa curate of Rugby nutll 1889. In the latter year he cams to British Columbia aod waa appointed chaplain to the Bishop of New V/eatmlnater, and missionary of tbe large dlatrict which comprised the diocese. He married Mtaa lone, but waa aoon after left a widower. Thia waa a loaa from which he never fully recovered aa he had a great s Section for hie wife. In 1896 he waa made rector of the Anglican cburch at Rowland and waa a prominent figure In good wprk tn that city until abont two yeara ago wben he realgoed to go Into missionary work In the Simllka- meen country. We nndentand tbat a committee baa been appointed tn Rosaland to ereot a memorial to the memory of Father Pat and that subscriptions for the same are being received at the bank of Montreal In that city. The subscription, are limited to one dollar but ao far the form that the memorial will take la not decided. Subscriptions can be. left with The Tribune and they will be duly forwarded to Roaaland. PUSHING IMPROVEMENTS Cranbrook People Are Urg. ing Better Roads. NEW BRIDGE OVfcfc THE at. MABYS A Mevlew of the Estimates Made for south Beat Kootenay for thia Year. CHARLES EARLY, Proprietor. F. K. BERNARD, Manager. St, Eugene May Resume. From the Herald— Charles Parrel of the Society Girl et Moyie, was in town Monday. Speaking of mining in general throughout the district he aald that South Bast Kootenay would have to wait until tbe tide took a turn, as It waa the history ol every district to have ita alow times. "It is rumored," said Mr. Farrell, "tbat the St. Eugene would renume, aa it had secured a two yeara' contract for its output. I know nothing as to the feels, but hope tbat it may be true." From tka Cranbrook Herald, An enthusiastic meeting of citlsena was held laat Saturday evening at the Cranbrook hotel reading room for tbe purpose of conferring with Mr. B. C. Smith, M. L. A, in reference lo tbe needs of thia part of the district that ahonld receive tbe attention of the provincial parliament at the coming session. Mr. M. Mclnneaa waa called to tbe chair and W. P. Gurd named as tecre- tary. Mr. Mclnnea tben defined the object of the meeting and celled on Mr. Ryan for an expression of opinion. Mr. Rvaa, In a clear and concise manner, set forth the needa of a cutoff rood to Perry creek and the construction of a bridge over tbe St. Mary's near the month of Perry creak to give tbe people of Marysville, Klmberley and tbe St. Mary'a valley a direct and much shorter route to Cranbrook. Be said aa to tbe building of the cutoff from Cranbrook to Booth or Six Mile creek,.there wea no question aa to the feaaibility of Ita constrnction, notwithstanding tbe opinion of officials who bave aeemed determined to oppose thet particular piece of work. Mr. Simpson exp'ained tbe deairea of the upper portion of the valley for improved roads to Cranbrook and tbe necessity of an extension of tbe road from the road Irom the foot of St. Mary'a lake up the valley to tbe Forka aud the expenditure of tbe appropriation made for building the road from Klmberley to tbe Skukuoichnck country. Mr. Hutchison bad gone over'tbe cutoff route to Perry creek with Mr. Ryen and heartily coincided with the viewa of that gentleman as to the practicability of ita conatructiod. Dr. King spoke boon tbe need of road Improvement the Perry creek district, the bridge across the St. Mary'a and the aborter route north. Mr. Miner said that be had offered to take Mr. Killeen over the Parry creek route but that hla offer bad been refused Mr. Gurd addressed himself to tbe meeting on the subjects presented and urged action to bring about the necessary improvements. Mr. Ryan brought up tbe question of incorporation and slid tbat in hie opinion what the people in towns tbe size of Cranbrook needed was a law tbat would permit partial Incorporation «o tbat a municipality might be formed on an economical basis tbat wonld embody tbe questions of water, fire and sewerage and otber featnrea only tbat might be considered necessary. Rev. Fortune aaid that he appreciated the importance of good roada to the mining camps and outlying diatricta but he wonld urge some lorm of incorporation tbat would give Ire protection end a strict enforcement of tbe sanitary laws of the province, A fire in tbe business poition of tbe city would prove a disastrous blow and the health of the community ebould not be jeopardized by careless people who gave no thought to sanitary conditions. Mr. Smith then replied steting tbat be thanked tbe people of Cranbrook for tbelr manifest Interest in the welfere of the community and the district and would promise to do all in his power to bring about the improvements asked for, especially aa the people of Cranbrook seemed exceedingly modest in their demands. He aaid, however, that tbe only hope he bad was the overthrow of the government. Referring then to another aubject he explained the unlorto- nate conditions following tbe discontin uance of the mall route from Fort Steele to Windermere, alnce it left the territory north of Port Steele without direct com' munication with the government officera or with Cranbrook, the banking center of the district, end asked tbe co-operation of Cranbrook in having the route re-eetablisbed. The question was freely discussed and the consensus of opinion aeemed to be heartily in favor of re-establishing tbe route just tbe same as before, without the two stege trips a week between Fort Steele an Cranbrook. as tbat waa not deemed necessary io view of the fact that there is a daily mail now betweer. the two towns. A fter arranging to hold a meeting on next Wednesday evening at the aame place for the purpose of talking over the queation of incorporation, and tendering Mr.-Smith a vote of thanks for hia kind' nets, tbe meeting adjouroed.

During the paat winter however, a party headed by Tom Roberta haa been doing systematic work on tbe ground. At a cleanup last week a nugget weighing over three ounces and estimated to be worth about (50 waa found. It ia a beautiful piece ol gold, cone abape, and makee au attractive ornament to show to the people. The finding of tbis nugget has aroused great Interest in Weaver, and it will in a'l probability be thoroughly worked the coming season. EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD Maryaville aa a Distributing Point. N.

Smith, M. L A., came over from his ranch Saturday and left Sunday for Vancouver to attend the Liberal convention which is being held today. Tbe Masons of Cranbrook are contemplating tbe giving of • ball immediately after Lent. It ia the intention of that order to make the ball a grand success. Arrangements have been completed for tbe Odd Fellows ball which ia to be held next Monday evening. Ticketa should be purchased in advance to save confusion and trouble. They are on aele at various stores in the city. Mr. and Mrs. J. Breckenridge came down from Morrissey Sundey to attend tbe Mclnnea enniveraery.

R., haa received the appointment of assistant city engineer at Ottawa, to succeed W, S. Cranelon, deceased. If thia is true all The Herald can aay is that Ottawa haa secured 1 men eminent ly fitted for the position and Cranbrook loeea a citizen wbo waa held io the high eat esteem by all. Tbe change Is a promotion won by merit alone, and Mr. Richardson's many, friends along tbe Crow will rejoice over hia good lortune. Laying Brick at the Smelter.

MANY MINES' WILL BE DEVELOPED The Growth of Merysvlle The Smelter City of South Eaat Kootenay Wtu be Rapid. Spring, gentle aprlngl will aoon ba with ua and with lu advent an era of proaperltyi the equal of which haa never before been known In 8ooWbBast Kootenay , will dawn upon ns, ThU prophecy la made with a feeling of confidence which ia aeldom found In tha breast of an editorial writer. Bnt aa a straw ahowa which way the wind blown, and aa com' Ing eventa eaat their rbadowa before, so do the events of the laat few months preenrse a wonderful development and a tremendons Influx of population into onr dlatrict In tbe near futnre. Aa we have had occasion to remark, In some prevloua articles In this paper, the eyce of tbe Investing world are turned, and turned favorably, on South Eaat Kootenay. Cradled between tbe Rockies and the Selklrke, South East Kootenay haa lain dormant for some yeara owing to various causes," lack of railway communication being the principal one. But with the constrnction of tbe Crow's Neat railway things began to take a change. Aa all great things come slowly, ao haa the development of the resources of this district come slowly, but very surely; and now on the eve of the opening np of apring South Eaat Kootenay la looking forward to a magnificent future. Those who are fortunate enough to own property In any of the many prosperous and growing towna of the district are to be thoroughly congratulated. Many may bave "bnngon" to their holdings during depreaalng times bnt, their faith In the country having stood firm, they will shortly reap tbe reward that is by right coming to them. Perhaps no part of the dlatrict Is at present, being taken more lntereat in, both by tha people la the country and outside, than the St. Mary'a Valley and tne country tributary to It. Thia district Is by no means new to the hardy Eaat Kootenay prospector for a trail of hla pick and ahovel, hla cabin and hla claim atakes can be followed for many mllea oa both sides of that beautiful mountain torrent. But like pioneer prospectors In otber parte of tka province the claim holder on the St. Marya haa had to face that bug bear of all mining enterprlaea lack of transportation. No matter how rich the showing., no matter how promising the Indications may have been, the very fact of tha St. Marys claims being ao far from railway and water transportation baa kept them in the back ground so far aa the outside world la concerned for capital will not coma In and develop properties that la not adji:ent to trana. portatljn facilities. The building of the Klmberley branch of the C. P. R. and the building of the branch Into Maryaville were both atepa In the right direction but the continuation of the latter branch up the valley of the St. Mary* will bring, not one, bnt a dozen or mora valuable propertlea within transportation distances and these wit be able to give a good account of themselves wben the time comes. Tbe erection of the smelter, refinery and white lead works at Marysville will give an additional Impetus to mining activity In the whole district especially in the St. Marya country. The building np of many prosperous towns and mining cam pi will extend the already good market which the ranchere and farmera of tbe dlatrict have. The general activity will undoubtedly attract capital from tbe monled centera of the eaat and from Europe and a very short tlma from now South Eaat Kootenay will be the mecca of the capitalist seeking good and safe Investment for his money. g FAOE TO FACE TALKS Bf THE IH'SIXew- MAKAUIR Motto lor ths axa-Pf *p«ity f„|.

Jjmee Cronln, manager ot tbe St At gene mine at this place waa lnterwlew< ed a few daya ago while In Spokane by the Spokane Review. The Review'aaya tbat Mr. Cronln la not optimistic In re*. gard to the lead situation. Hla mine Is tbe largest lead producer In Canada and Is one of the largest In tbe northwest, bnt It la practically abut down now on account of the low price of lead. "We have about a dozen men at work oh development, bnt we ate tak' Ing ont no ore except aa la encountered In dead work," aald Ur, Cronln yetter- day. "Tha fall In the price of London lead haa affected na moat Injuriously, A comparison of oar financial results laat year and In ltoo ahowa the dlf- erence.

Under tho afternoon sun the restless waters (if S:\ri Francisco bay flung dia- niunds und op-lls at such huiuuu eyes ua chanced to look ou tbem, Two youiig people who strolled down to the Preuidlo bench, however, had no glances to spare for nny thing so commonplace us ilirunuiids and opals. For Lieutenant Anderson was gazing into the depths ut' tin- great, aoft black eyea of AUss Pachita de Sulu, and Miss I'achita de Sola was looking up into the ardent blue ones of Lieutenant Anderson. She seemed to like it. The tall young soldier with the fuii* hflil*. broad shoulders and square, manly Saxon face had not been long released from tho hard work nud harder restraint of West Point, and iu his new freedom of army life went at things with nn energy of desire that was <juite irresistible. Miss Pachita de Sola found it so, ns had half a dozen other girls within as many mouths. Il was a wholly serious business with the lieutenant this time, though. lie had been in California but a few weeks, and this daughter of an ancient though decayed Spanish family, ns American in education and thought ns himself, was ravishing in her novelty. Altogether feminine, Paehita, nt one moment childlike and clinging; the next worldly, witty uud mocking; then, with tho lids hiding those lovely, big'eyes nf hers, her whole aspect suggested— especially to a lieutenant wiih ample means to marry—possibilities of tenderness unspeakable. No wonder that when Miss Pachita permitted Lieutenant Anderson to gaze down into her eyes aud returned an answering look, giving a little sigh, too, his head went after his heart, which had been lost for au eternity—that is to gay, for two terrific, sleepless nights. But the young lady was discreet, and, gently clasping his fingers, removed them from her wnist, saying demurely: "Don't be foolish, John. Somebody may be looking." This in ft city nnd in full sight of the ever vigilant garrison struck John as being not Improbable, Instant in action, as became a soldier, Lieutenant Anderson executed a flank movement on a sand bank and seated Miss de Sola in its lee, on u large, water whitened, sun dried log of driftwood. Then this consummate tactician repeated the original attack with entire success. "Pachita, oh, my darling!" breathed the ecstatic lieutenant, struining her to his side and immediately showing u disposition to put a knee upon tho beach. "Well, John?" and the smile of love nnd gratified vanity that smote bis eyes blinded them. ".Name the day, oh, Tachita; I cannot live (ill you do!" Pachita pursed her full, red Hps, puckered tlie midnight eyebrows and considered profoundly, digging deep Into the sand with his cane tho while. "The day, my own love—the duy," gasped John. "Pear me," Miss do Sola exclaimed suddenly, "what a beautiful shell!" "H!nst the shell!" cried Lieutenaut Anderson, reaching for what she bad un** earthed, to east it wrathfully out among the unnoticed diamonds and opals. Hut he was restrained in wonder. in AtrarsT, 1S25. The snme sun wns enriching tbe dancing waters of the same bay with diamonds and opals. A young couple wbo Strolled down to the Presidio beach admired the view very much, uud Senorita Pachita de Sola had no occasion to remind the lieutenant by her side that somebody might be looking. Lieutenant Juan de IScbeandiil would have liked greatly to coil his arm about tbat slim waist, but did not dare, though there was only a small and sleepy garrison and no city nt ail behind them—only the padres and Indians at the mission Dolores, far over the sand hills, and a cabin or two down at the emburcadero, entirely out of sight. Pacliitn de Sola was niece of Commandaute Don Luis Antonio Arguel- lo, and though he. Lieutenant Juan do Echeniitlin was n nephew of Don Jose Maria, or the same name, one, even though an aristocrat, has under all circumstances to show proper respect for his commanding oJBcer, Besides, tbe Senorita Pachita had twice refused his friendly offered hand. It was bestowed upon Knsign Tibureio Mendez nt Monterey, though this was not known to a certainly at the Presidio. Lieutenant Juan de Kiln-andia and Senorita Pachita de Sola walked leisurely to the little wharf where that wonderful vessel, constructed but recently by a wandering British f-ailor, lay preparing for a voyage to Snusnlito, four leagues distant, It was a marvelous boat, with ours aud a sail, and capable of accommodating no less ih au six persons. Don Luis Antonio Argue!Io himself had commanded her in person on the dozen passages which she had made to the opposite short' for timber. Previous to the creation of this extraordinary ship, which annihilated distance and obliterated time, timber was hard to get from Corte de Madera. Soldiers were sent oroutid by way of San Jose, armed with nxes. who crossed the strait of Cnt'qutnCM on rafts, and iu the circuit of seventy leagues encountered hardships and consumed weeks. Aud the timber was brought over by Chief Martin, an aborigine given to cruising on a float of logs and tuJes, who alone knew tho winds and currents of tho bay. It was but a matter of u day now to sail over for the timber and return with it. Corporal Pedro Sanchez had made all the voyages with tho commaudauto and rated now as a superior navigators his marine fame being dear to him. Don Luis had swollen him with pride by placing him In command for this one trip, His enlargement became perilous when Lieutenant Echenndin suddenly proposed to Senorita Pnebttn that they make the Voyage, and she, being young and thougbttcwi, consented, Bravo Corporal Sanchez sailed the Mejii-u superbly as far ns Angel Island, descanting eloquently on the art and ntj lery of scniiranshlp. Issuing to his crew i-r three soldiers sundry orders in a coiniiiniiiling voice of thunder, he pre- parnd t-» pass tin- point, Ala-,, au eastern wind came whistling through tin- treacherous Uaccoon strait, iiu> 1 in Hpltc oi* nil Corporal Pedro's Henri the Mejieo was eaujarUt i"d whirled round and round and borne with the racing tide toward the Ooldtii (Jste.

Ho out to sea they drifted, fur out. almost to the KarallonoH. For eight days and nights tbey wsre as a chip on tbe waves, the Uaccoon gusts laving snapped tbe mpst and carried nway the sail. Corporal Pedro, famous as a mariner, bad forgotten to bring oars. Senorita de Sol« gave herself, up to Mary, mother of God. ns did the corporal and the three men in the bow. who pass* ed the hours in shuddering prayer. But Lieutenant Juan had a soldier's soul. On the second day be drew his sword, and at its point the men yielded such food and water as tbe boat contained. These he bestowed where bis body was between tbem and recapture, Tbe corporal Pedro, though a fool and unfortunate, was loyal. With hira the lieutenant kept watch and watch, and through all those awful eight days and nights (by my pen, it Is true that the boat was gone that long, as you may read in Hindi's "History of California") the Senorita de Sola wanted for neither food nor drink, ond the delicacy of Lieutenant Juau would have brought tears of gratefulness to any woman's eyes. He did wonders, as tradition has handed down, with cloaks and coats and stray bits of rope to cabin the lady. On tbe eighth day—sincere prayer Is ever answered—a blessed wind sprang up from tbe west and, tide assisting, blew the Mcjico back through tbe Golden Gate. The cruising chief Marin, on bis tule float, was sent by Providence to tow ber to the Presidio wharf, where tha commandant and the cheering garrison awaited tho return of tbe lost to life—tbe ones saved by an unquestionable miracle. The padres bore the lesson home In many a sermon. As tbe Senorita de Sola rose In tba stern to disembark Bbe tottered from weakness and agitation. Lieutenant Juau stretched out an arm and preserved her from a ducking. She gave a little scream, not at th*; public embrace, but because in throwing up ber small brown bauds sbe had broken a slender gold chain that hung about ber neck—broken it, und over into the deep water it went, together with a locket that had rested on her virgin bosom. "My dears," said Commandant Don Luis Antonio Arguollo, when they had refreshed themselves at his quarters and related their adventures—"my dears, I think that under all the circumstances tho best thing you can do Is to get married, nnd at once." "I'm with you," exclaimed Lieutenant Juan de Kcheandia in Spanish, opening his arms. And Senorita Pachita de Sola crept timidly into them, biding ber lovely, blushing face upon his happy, weather beaten breast. IN AUGUST, 1900, AGAIN. Lieutenant John Anderson was restrained from throwing the abalone shell into the bay, after bis indefensible language concerning it, because imbedded under a transparent, overlying, iridescent deposit ho beheld nn open golden locket, showing the face of a handsome young man, evidently Spanish. Miss de Sola, excited, took It from him, scrutinized it intently, looked up with sparkling eyes und pointed a slim, triumphant, olive finger at a name beneath the miniature. "There," she cried, "grandma did lova that Monterey ensign, though she always denied it!" "But Pachita—Pachita, darling, do name the day," pleaded Lieutenant Anderson nil a-throb. "Oh, bother!" Impatiently returned Miss de Sola, absorbed again in the aba- lone. "Name it yourself." Work of Blind Sculptors. There have been several cases recorded in which famous sculptors have been blind. Dr. Vldnl, the well known French sculptor, wns blind. He made a special study of animals, surrounding himself with pets of all kinds, which bo would fondle until he was able to reproduce them m clay with a skill that surpassed any of bis contemporaries. On one occasion, iu order that he might make a true model of a lion, he obtained permission from the proprietor of a menagerie to enter (accompanied by tbe tamer) a cage containing a magnificent specimen of the kiug of beasts, which be stroked and caressed until he bad acquired nn exact conception of its shape and mien. Giovanni Gambasio, the sculptor, had been deprived of his sight for ten years before the idea came to blm to be ou artist. His fame as a sculptor spreading abroad, he was sent by the Grand Duke of Tuscany to Borne to model the statue of Pope Urban VIII. — Ladies' Home Journal. An Amateur Brass Band.

However, it is a good story nil the same, yo here it is: The Chief events occurred at Mine. Ttousselin's cmmtiy lion*-*', near La nochcbillore, in a wild. dense."y wooded country where hunting is i'ie ch.cf nuMtSff- ment of the inhabitants. The house is one of the best I know, and Mute, ttoos- sellu had added to its attractions ly takin r her young niece Madeleine, who had just lost her parents, to live with her. Madeleine had no fortune, but she was divinely pretty. She had* those soft, mild eyes that go straight to your heart, aud the most eharuling and indesei ibali e air of delicacy, refinement and tirfectlourfteiiess, She was, indeed, by far loo lempting a morsel to put under the very claws, yo to speak, of that scoundrel Louis, Mine. Itausseliu's sou, \\ ho had developed from an incorrigible spoiled child Into a man of rough manners and violent emotiuus, as a result of his life iu the woods and his constant association with lours. Although ho was far too stupid to appreciate Madeleine as she deserved, he wus yet strongly attracted bj her beauty. The girl's frank contempt and dislike made him furious, and before long he became jealous as we!l. For. though Madeleine had no feeling but aver: i >-i for ber blackguard of a cousin, she did not ox- tend thut sentiment to men in general. Certainly uot tu one man iu particular, Edmund Kenuud. Edmund was a handsome youth and fully capable of appreciating Madeleine's character as well as her beauty. So. when he came home after completing his legal studies in Paris, he fell in hive with her at once. At church he never took his eyes off her fine, and on weekdays he hunted the vicinity of the ItoimseHu house hi the hope of getting a stolen glimpse of her beautiful features.. He was very happy in ibis una vowed love, the more so that 'Madeleine's conscious look, blushes and air of embarrassment plainly told him that his feeling wns returned. He was emboldened to make a format prrfposition of marriage. This wns promptly rejected by Mine. Konsselin, and Edmond's parents also had objections to offer ou account of Madeleine's lack of fortune. Mine. Itoussclip gave her niece's youth as the ground of her refusal, but In reality she was obeying tlie suggestion of her son. whom Madeleine's obvious attachment to his rival hud made more furious than ever. And now the story becomes dramatic. Edmond remained iu the country during half of the winter, his love only increased by obstacles, until he was forced to choose betwoeu two plans submitted to him by his father. Ho must either return lo Paris or accept a colonial post which was offered to him. At aII events, he must leave the spot, and forthwith, Madeleine ou her return from church one Sunday found a note in her mult. There were only a few passionate Hue.-, iu which Edmond assured her uf his love and begged for a meeting iu which, she could tell him-whether it was returned or not. If sbe loved him, he would Wait for her; if not, he would expatriate himself, efface himself forever. But he must have an answer, if only a word. He would steal into her garden that evening, conceal himself behind the big snowman which the gardener's sous had erected, nnd there wait patiently for her—for hours, if necessary. If she did uot come at all, it would mean "no," and he would go. He carried out bis programme, but the snowman did not conceal him from the sharp eyes of a servant, who reported the matter to Louis Bousselin. "Hiding, you say?" Louis asked. "Yes, sir; behind the snowman, like bis shadow, opposite tho house, which he is watching ns If expect lug some one At first I thought he was a thief, but on coming nearer I recognized him. What shall I do?' "Nothing. You may go," "Ah. my fine fellow." Louis said to himself, "so you come and put yourself in my hands, do you?" Rousselin was on very good terms with himself that evening. A successful- hoar hunt and an excellent luncheon had conspired to make him more animated than usual. There wa* n wicked light ih his eyes, the reflection of a diabolical thought that had crossed his brain. He went up stairs, musing. At the first landing he stopped nnd stood watching tlie door of Madeleine's room. He suspected that she knew who was hiding behind the snowman. Assuming a careless air and whistling, he approached a collection of weapons hanging on the wall aud took down a gun. He wns trying the lock when Madeleine appeared. ' "Beastly weather for a walk, Madeleine." he said. Madeleine stopped in confusion. After a long conflict with herself her lender compassion for Edmond, combined with the fear of losing him forever, had decided her to go to the rendezvous, and now she found herself confronted by her detested cousin. "You bad hotter take a wrap, if you must go," sneered Louis; "overshoes, too, would not be amiss for a trump iu tbe snow." "What makes you think I am going out?" "Tho bright gleam In your pretty eyes, the rich color of your cheeks aud the violent beating of your heart—I can almost hear it. But you will be very foolish to ruu the risk of taking cold in the off chance of finding n lover out there in the snow. It is too cold a night for lovers; they would be chilled. You won't find any, take iny word fur It." Bousselin, who was getting a good deal of enjoyment out of his cousin's embarrassment cud mortification, threw open n window which overlooked the snowclad garden. "There is nobody," be said, "absolutely nobody—except tbe snowman. He isn't in love with you, is be? Whut a splendid target he would make, with the light from the window falling on him and ev- erytulng else black!" Re played with his gun, slyly watching and enjoying the look of terror tbat overspread Madeleine's fuce. "Thnt fellow has been an eyesore too long," he added. "I think I will put a bullet through him. Bet yon I bit him in the head at the first shot!" "Louis, do nut shoot. I beg of you," Madeleine cried impulsively, "Why not? Just for the fun of tbe Altlffl" Poir Madeleine could scarcely speak distil ctly iu her excitement and despair. "T1..1 noise," she stammered. "The report—so late in the evening. It might frighten some one." "Whom? My mother Will not bear it, and you ure forewarned. Are you afraid of scaring the servants?" "Please, Louis, I beseech you!" "Bah! All this fuss about not even a sparrow—only a snowman!" "But if—if—-by chance—there should be —some one"— "Iu the garden, at this hour? A thief, perhaps? All fche better. It will be kill- lug two birds with one stone. However, I can point a gun, I hope, and I intend to hit the suowmau alone —right in tha heart. Here goes!'1 JShe sprang forward1 and grasped the gun, excluintlng: "No, tio; you shall not shoot!" "Then there is some one there?" "Yes." ""Your lover?" "I—I do not "know," Madeleine retreated in confusion, dreadfully shamed by the confession that had been wrung from her, but thinking, iu her ignorance of the workings of Roussefln's mind, that now ,a!! danger was passed. Meanwhile Itousselin stood nervously fingering his weapon, with his face distorted with rage, until nuother atrocious thought came to hitn and made him laugh aloud. "A fine arrangement, truly, and a pretty confession !'* he sneered. "Mademoiselle has lovers who come prowling nbout my house nt night. Tbat is only an additional reason why I should exercise my rights. If I should wing this lover of yours, what complaint could he make against me? Bnt, pshaw, it is only a fancy of yours! There is nobody behind the snowman." "There is." "Edmond?" "Yes." Bousselin laughed no longer, and tbe girl made no further attempt at concealment. "Well," ho said, "I give- you your choice." "How?" "Either you Bwear to marry meM— "Oh!" "Or I fire." This brutal threat so shocked and overwhelmed Madeleine tbat she could find no answer but a sob. "Or I fire, I sny!" "Oh! Then—well—yes!" Bousselin closed the window. "Do not cry," he said. "We shall get on well together, 1 have no doubt. It is something, you must remember, to be Mme. Bousselin." Thnt great honor, however, won by so painful a sacrifice, Madeleine was destined never to enjoy. Edmond, convinced of her indifference and ignorant of the facts in tho cose, left the country ou the following day, and Bousselin, after enjoying several weeks of hateful triumph, suddenly changed his iniud. His cupidity was inflamed by the financial charms of on heiress whom his mother hnd discovered, and he coolly left Madeleine to nurse in secret her poor little aching heart— lacerated cruelly, wantonly, uselessly.

Raphael, tho artist, was so conscientious in everything he did that he could ffot be induced to do anything half way, even for temporary use. His fatuous "Sistlnc Madonna,'1 which has been the admiration of the world and which the great art critics have classed among the few marvelous pictures in existence, was painted for temporary use—for a banner to be carried nt the hood of a procession. Millions of dollars would not buy this banner today, because Raphael put tho hesl of genius into it: be put immortality into ii, because he painted it just us well ns he knew how, even though it was fur temporary use. And today In Borne, even in the corners or the Vaiican, high up on tho ceiling where no one is supposed to ever look for ils existence, the traveler finds the same exquisite touch, tho same perfection of finish as In his great masterpieces. Everything Raphael did he did for fin- moitaliiy. Half done work cannot be found ill any of his pictures. It would take many millions of dollars to buy hi.-, works today, not only because ho trans* ferred his genius to tlie canvas in a masterly way, bet because the minutest detail is finished with the same exquisite pains ns attended the chief figures.

It was some time lu Juno that Miss Denby began to "make a show" of herself. From tbe modest responsibility of neutral tints, cotton gowns and a sailor bat she suddenly burgeoned forth Into such a splendid radiance of millinery and mode that all ber neighbors wondered. ( For Miss Denby was an old maid. Sbe bad accumulated a modest fortune making dresses, and, being fifty-two years old, ns she admitted with a weazen smile, she had retired permanently from business nnd settled down to a routlis of tea drinking and novel reading, relieved, If not illuminated, by dally strolls In the park and a Sunday visit to church. Homely? Not exuelly, for she had bright, busy little eyes, a straight nose that had not always been as red as now and n cute mouth that puckered up at the corner when she smiled, tier form wns of the "Ironing board" style —that Is, neither plump nor angular— but ber hands and feet were the chief pride of ber romantic little heart, for they were as small as a child's. Indeed, what most astounded the neighbors when they lirst began to "notice" the old maid's transformation were the marvelous shoes, slippers and gloves she wore, For Instance, the day Mrs. Gnllegher followed her over to the park Miss Denby's little tootsies were Incased In gray undressed kids, with—oh, shocking!—French heels. But that was not what finally set the venomous tongue of gossip to wagging. Mrs. Gallegher had actually caugbt the old maid keeping tryst with n man! From that day the poor old dress- maker's suddenly glorified wardrobe was explained. Mrs. Gnllegher bail watched her foregather with a hand' some, dark haired stranger and, leaning on his stalwnrt arm, stroll away among the trees. It was evident thai Miss Denby was In love and tlmt her suitor wns a young and dashing fellow. "After her money, I guess," aald Mrs. Jenkins to Mrs. Jones over tbe back fence. "No fool like nu old fool," winked Mrs. Jones. Some said It was "disgraceful," others suspected that Miss Denby was a "little cracked," but they all became very friendly with her, drank ber tea, admired her gowns and put themselves In the way of becoming her confidants, The good women even began to tnko morning tramps iu the park, nud tbo queer little dressmaker, walking with her young suitor, was mortified and puzzled at the frequency of these accidental meetings. Finally Miss Denby decided to open her heart to Mrs. Gallegher, and she did It like this: "Have another cup of tea before you go, Mrs. Gnllegher." "Suro I've had seven." "Just one more." Tben she whispered, "I've got a secret for you." Miss Denby blushed aud simpered demurely as she poured the tea. and ber fat guest could hardly wait to come at the long deferred mystery. "What's your secret, Sophronln? Sure you ain't going to inove?" "Guess again," giggled tbe old maid. "Not another new dress?" "Not that" "I'll give up," admitted tbe other, who enjoyed the deception, "A wedding!" gurgled, Miss Denby. "But, mind now, It's a Bccrct yet. I'm going to Invite blm up—bee-bee, bee- bee-e—and I want you to come and chaperon me"— Mrs. Gallegher was staring open mouthed. "Sophronla Denby 1" sbe gasped. "Married! Vou going to be married!" "To tbe finest, handsomest, noblest, richest—he's a prince"— "Ab, bother!" "A Greek nobleman, Count Sardana- pnlus." "And what business Is be In?' "Business! Ob, dear, none! He's a nobleman; owns an Island and all tbnt sort of thing." The old maid seemed almost transfigured with enthusiasm. Sbe said sbe bad met ber noble lover quite by accident while strolling nenr tbe beacb. De had found and restored to her a novel which she bad left on a bencb. Tbe casual acquaintance thus begun bnd flourished by reason of bis wondrous ardor and the fact that she walked dally In tbe park. Tbe count bad wooed and won ber "with tbe fierce and swift gnllantry of the old world," MIsb Denby snid, nnd she bnd resisted blm ns long as her sympathetic heart could wltbstnnd bis eloquence. "He's In Chicago to fiont a loan for the Greek government," she explained. "An soon ns Crete Is annexed tbe count—my eount"-a smile and a blusb —"Is to be absolute ruler of tbe Island. But be Is very anxious to depart, and Ibe wedding day must be fixed tomorrow night. Turkish spies are constantly nt his heels. There Is hardly a duy I hot lie does nut point one out to me. I hnve seen them lurking behind tbe bushes, nnd every time we pnrt I am lu agony of fear leal suincthlng should bernll lilm." Mrs. Gnllegher was staring now like a big bullfrog watching a red flannel bait "Will you come op tomorrow night and meet blm?" sbe bears Miss Denby say. "I will." murmured tbe duinfoundcd Mrs. Gallegher, backing toward the door..' It was midnight when she had finished ber rounds of the flats, nnd at "»• hour appointed for the count's arrival tbe population of tbe building was on tbe front steps. Sure enough, nt 8 o'clock the handsome foreigner came striding along. He paused a moment In front of Miss Denby's entrance, looked up ond down the street and tben sprang nimbly up the stnlrway. The fluttering old maid, "assisted" by Mrs. Phelim Gallegher, received blm. To the latter be bowed with tbe punctilious grace of a cavalier of France. "With your permission, madam," he said, taking, a.parcel from hla pocket, "I bave brought mademoiselle a llttlo gift. It Is au heirloom In our family. My ancestors captured It from King Priam In the Trojan war." He bunded tbe pnekage to tbe blushing Miss Denby and kissed her tiny band ns she bowed over It. "It Is one of the gold shoes from the Trojnu horse," he resumed with rnro dignity. "Each nail It set wltb a price- less diamond, aud"— lie was interrupted by a little scream from Sophronla, who hnd unwrapped the pnrcel und found nn old, rusty horseshoe, very dirty, twisted nnd worn. But the next moment she hnd tapped bis wrist wltb ber fan and laughed: "What a wag you nre, count; forever cracking Jokes!" Mrs. Gnllegher didn't know whnt to say or do. She stood there staring nt Count Sardanapiilus ns If in. doubt Whether to hit him with the horseshoe or run away. Indeed she was sidling toward the door when the bell rang. Sbe opened It in time to hear tbe strange guest shout: "Bar the door or we are lost!" But Mr3. Gnllegher opeued It. A sandy haired, heavy set man brushed rudely In, laid a hand on tbe count's shoulder nnd suid: "Come, your grace, tbe bnlloon Is ready." "Aha!" said the dramatic Greek. "My country first! Forward, gentlemen! To the balloon!" With a grand bow he stalked out of the loom like a monarch going to the block. Miss Denby collapsed Into a chnir. The sandy courier followed his master. Mrs. Gnllegher followed the courier. "Who Is he?" whispered the fnt woman to the count's attendant. "He's a bug," growled the man; "went nutty on balloons; nets nil right till you mention liis balloon. Then he goes home nnd gets Into tt swing. He thinks It's n war balloon, and be sails nil over the world In It. Good night!" Miss Denby did move ou the 1st of September.—Chicago Record-Herald. tics.—Condon Chronicle. A Story ot Tennyson. Apropos of Tennyson's life nt Freshwater Mr. T. S. Escott tells this story, says a London Journal: "The only stranger 1 enn remember to hnve seen there wns n young American nuthor, already of distinguished performance and of even more brilliant promise, who had brought with him n letter of commendntlon from Longfellow. Ho wns painfully shy und absentmludcd nt the dinner table, nearly forgetting to cat nnd quite, I think, forgetting to drink. In the latter respect he resembled his host, who on thnt day, while the dishes were on the table, touched ouly one of tbem. "Wltb the dessert a small bottle of the laureate's favorite port, unfortified —such, be said, as 'Will Waterproof once could get at the Cock In Fleet street—made Its appearance. It wns only sipped by the pact after Intervals between conversation with his transatlantic guest or of reveries with himself. At last, however, the decanter was drained. The poet, as If surprised to find It empty, with a touch of plaln- tlveness In his melodious monotone, said reflectively to the visitor, who had not touched the wine, 'Do you always drink a bottle of port after dinner?'" Tea and Thelne. Thelne Is known to most people as tbe active principle of tea or tbat substance which confers upon the cup Its cheering and stimulating properties. Caffeine Is the analogous principle of coffee, although this latter substance also occurs In tea. Some Investigations Into the development of thelne shows tbat It Is In the skin or covering of the leaves of the plnut In (heir young state that Ibe active principle Is best developed. I have always been given to understand tbnt tbe young shoots thus amply provided with thelne nnd representing the finest of the crop nre sent to Russia, where they fetch a high price. What we get In England Is presumably the older leaf, with, I should sny, less thelne nnd a deal more tannin. It would be Interesting to know what proportions of thelne and tannin exist In some of the cheup tens thai are eo largely consumed by Iho British public, Thelne Itself Is n nerve stimulant of undoubted power, but lhe quantity we get in our cups is. of course, Infinitesimal.

Mr. Cburton Collins, In discussing popular quotations, exclaims: "Bow few, /or example, wbo quote tbe- well kuown sentiment, 'Solus popull su- premn lex'—'Tbe health of the people Is . the highest law'—know tbat they nre quoting tbe Roman law of the twelve tables, or wben tbey talk of leaving no stone unturned' tbat they arc quoting the reply of tbe Delpbio oracle to Polycrates, or when tbey, talk of 'calling a spade a spade* tbey are quoting an anonymous Greek comic poet Thus, too, 'There's many a slip 'twlxt the cup and the lip' Is a literal translation of an hexameter In nn anonymous Greek poet. So Is Tbe mills of God grind slow, but tbey; grind small.'" Perfectly I'Inln. ' Tuucic Rnstus, who was seeking Information concerning musnrooms, bad been referred by a pretcrnaturally solemn student to the professor of botany, and, wltb bnt In hnud, he wus addressing that dignitary. "Would yo' mind tellln' me, MlstaU Mandrake," be said, "bow to 'sttngulsh a musharoon fin a toadstool?" "Willingly," replied the professor, "In the first plnce, you must remember that tbe Amanita phalloldes, or deadly agaric, closely resembles the Agnrlcua campestrls, or edible fungus, which Is our common variety and absolutely Innocuous. Next, It will be necessary to fix firmly In your roltd the distinguishing marks or characteristics of the Agarlcus campestrls, which are tbesc: A pilous not covered witb excrescence* like scales; gills of a brownish purple when mature; stalk solid and approximately cylindrical; ring near tbe middle of stalk; base not bulbous and apt sheathed by membrane. The distinguishing characteristics of tbe Amanita phalloldes, or deadly agaric, are these: Plleus destitute of distinct excrescences; white gills, h«*»ow stalk; large ring nnd prominent nulb at base, with membranous upper margin. Bearing these points of differentiation fully In mind you will never be at a loss to determine which variety you encounter in any given case." "Yes, suh," said Uncle Rnstus, turning his bnt round nnd vuud In bla Augers. "I uu'stau' dat uil rigbt, but bow's I gwlne to tell 'em apabt?" His Foot Was In the Way. A gentlemanly cbap riding In an elevated car permitted the slgbt of a man's foot In the middle of the aisle to exasperate blm to a most unreasonable degree. Women tripped over It Men stepped over It. A few folk purposely dragged tbelr feet against It as a bint But Its owner calmly read bis paper and moved not Finally, "I beg your pardon, my friend," said the gentlemanly cbap, leaning down, bis face set nnd teeth clinched, "but don't you tblnk you are taking up more room than you are entitled to?

The old ladj was shrill of voice and garrulous of nature, nnd she drew the attention of the other passengers in an elevated train to the young woman who was Bitting beside her. 'The young woman was accompanied by two small children. The old woman grinned ingratiatingly several times nt the children, who gave her no encouragement. After awhile she turned to the young woman and asked io a voice that attracted the attention of the other passengers: "What nice little childrei! How old are they, dear?" Some quiet response by the little woman. "What's thnt? I don't hear very well." Tho young woman raised her voice as she blushed because of the attention ot the other pnsscugers; "One is three years and the other to two." "My! Are they sisters?" •'They nro brother and sister." "Which one is the older—tho boy or the girl?" "Thi ooy.' "Well, welll How many months are there between them?" The young woman aeemed much annoy* ed aod answered shortly: "Fifteen." "Indeed! Are you their sister?" "No." By this time everybody In the car was looking, and some pitied the young woman, whose face was (lushed at-the personal questions, but were obliged to smile at (be persistency of the older one. "Perhaps their cousin or their aunt?" ■he hazarded. "No? But you are not their mother, are you?" There came a decided nod from the little woman as she turned her face away from her questioner. "You are? Well, well! And how long have you been married? You are only a girl yourself; too young to lave two such big children." The train drew up at a station just then, and the young woman gathered her children together- aa she answered, with a snap of her big brown eyes: "I've been married long enough to be able to attend to my own business. Have you been married as long as that?" And she swept out of tho car to wait on the platform for another train that would not contain such an unwelcome questioner. "Well!" said the old woman as the train started again. "I wonder what was the matter with that girl. She seemed put out." Properly Located.

Harnett, who had i-ecn extremely ill for years, and who claimed to be permanently cured by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. This good lady, according to her own statement, had been a physical wreck, with nervousness, rheumatism in the left arm, pains in the small of tho back, up the Bplnal column and back of iho heatl, through the eyes, left side of tho body and occasionally the right side. She had no appetite and could not sleep at night. The physicians had given her up, and in this* pitiful and hopeless Condition, Dodd's Kidney Pills found her and completely, restored her to good health without an ache or pain. Her appetite returned as her general gootL health improved. She used in all but twelve boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. This was in the spring of JR98, nnd today Mrs. Barnett states positively and in the strongest and most grateful terms that the cure Dodd's Kidney Pills brought her threo and a half years ago was absolute and permanent ; that she is today stronger and better than she had been for years before taking the pills. Nothing could be more convincing than this good woman's plain and truthful statement, and it proves beyond douht 1he lasting character of the cures ejected by Dodd's Kidney Pills.

GROWING BABES. Need Watchful Care to Prevent Overfeeding and the Evils That Follow. All children at some period of Uicii infancy are subject to indigestion, diarrhoea, or constipation. While the symptoms of these troubles greatlj differ, the origin of-each is due to thu same cause—improper food or overfeeding. This results sometimes in diarrhoea, sometimes in constipation. In either the treatment is to remove the cause, and this can only be speedily, safely and effectually done by the use of Baby's Own Tablets, u purely vegetable medicine guaranteed to contain no opiate nor any of the poisonous stuffs found in the so-called soothing medicines. Mothers who oace use Baby's Own Tablets for their little ones never after experiment with other medicines, and always speak of them in the highest terms. Mrs. Geo. It. Johnston, Wall street, Broekville, says : "I have been using Baby's Own Tablets for over a year, always keep them in the house ami always lind them satisfactory. If my little boy- two years of age—is troubled with constipation, indigestion or diarrhoea, 1 give him the tablets and he is soon relieved. The tablets regulate the bowels and do not cause after constipation us many medicines do. I have also found them beneficial tn teething." Baby's Own Tablets are a certain euro for all the minor ailments of little ones such as colic, sour stomach, constipation, indigestion, diarrhoea. etc. Children take them readily, and crushed or dissolved in water they can be given with good results to the youngest infant.

To come right down In brass tacks, please do not call us on this phrase; we have warrant for it; really we have. What is there you don't like about "like" as a substitute for "us if?"

His health gradually forsook htm, until by degrees ho was forced to give up doing all kinds of work. He consulted a physician and took a largo quantity of medicine, but it did him no good and he gradually grew weaker and weaker. His duties as a magistrate necessitated his doing much writing, and being an excellent panman in his days of good health, il came very hard to him when his hand shook so much he could scarcely keep it steady enough to sign lii.i name. His daughter, seeing his deplorable condition, advised him to try Dr. Williams' Pink Fills, and after a bit of coaxing ho was induced to try them. There was no noticeable change in his condition until ho had started taking the third box. From that on the improvement was rapid. Ho grew stronger every day, his appetite increased, tho weariness and lassitude departed from his limbs, some of the lustre of his youth returned to his eye, aud by the time five boxes were used, Mr. Dauphine felt a-new man. The weight of years and tho burden of sickness have rolled from his shoulders, his hands are now steady and his pen can run as rapidly as over. He attributes his cure to the ministration of a good wife and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills* Mr. Dauphine is 73 years of age, but feels as young and vigorous as he did years ago. and is ever ready to praise in the warmest terms the health-giving qualities of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the friend of tho weak and ailing. They surpass all other medicines in their tonic, strengthening qualities, and make weak and despondent people bright, active and healthy.
