The knife with which he bad opened the envelope wns lying open upon the desk. He picked It up, pulled dowu the desk's lid and drew out one of the sliding leaves, upon which be heat out a geniie tunc with the point of the knife blade.

Kluiendorf suddenly gripped the fcnlfo hard and set the point upon the back of his left hand Then with n bit of a laugh he shifted the knife to his left hand nnd slowly, steadily pressed the blade dowu upon the other. This Spar- inn act was accompanied by much wrinkling of the forehead and a few hard words softly uttered. When Rob* lusoo opeued the door, tlie knife was Ivlng on the floor and Klmendorf was striding toward a howl ln the corner. "Dropped niy Unite on the back of my hand," be said. "Sharp blade, and ll went In deep." itohluson came forward hastily and viewed the Injured member, from which a steady stream of blood wus "lowing.

There Is no way. absolutely no way"— Her voli'c begun to tremble, but she resolutely checked the tendency. "How everything settles down on you In the morning!" she said. "You wake so happy. Perhaps you have dreamed of the pleasanlest things. I almost always dream of people I like ■nd of being witb tbem In tbe fields or abroad somewhere In a strange city and all dressed up In tho most wonderful clothes, and then the reality begins to come down, like-like a great ball of rugs. 1 saw them loading a barge with rags once—she was alongside a steamer—and 1 alwnys remembered how those dirty, heavy, stifling bales came down. They were like life." "Your life hasn't been altogether a bale of rags, my young friend," said Rrcnda, "and unless I'm much mistaken It will be In the future quite like somo of those dreams. There was a young man who made a promise or two about strange titles and beautiful clothes, you know," she added, reddening a little. "1 saw Mr. Alden's note to you, and I was tricked Into rending a port of It" I "I suppose It will be printed In the , papers," said Elsie, "with your picture and mine and Mr. Alden's.

"I know It," replied Brenda gently. "IIo told me so." "It was only on that lost evening that I let hlm guess the truth," snld Elsie, "and how I did that, heaven mny know. Suddenly ho seemed to see It. and theu, honestly. I had uo opportunity to deny It. I didn't speak a word lu two hours. Mr. Alden talked for both of us, making my arguments I'or me and then answering them without the faintest perception thut they weren't reully mine at all. In fact, he was like a big boy, so curried away with his own Idea that all the world seemed to be rushing along In the wuy he wished.

"It was wrong, of course, to let him come to see me," Elsie continued. "But It must end soon, and It wus so Utile, anil you would have so much.

The Btomach is able to digest proteld foaid when Introduced into it, yet it does not digest Itself. The reason for this hns been shown by Welnhitid. Welnlund round thut a substance cun be i xtracted from the colls of the stomach wblcb, wben added to proti'id material, will not allow It to be acted upon by the pepsin of the Stomach. This substance belongs to the class of so called nntiferments— thnt Is, a group of bodies which by their presence inhibit fermentative actions. The presence of this nntifer- ment In the cells of the stomach prevents them from digesting is. "*' ;. .■>. After death, when this substance decomposes, the stomach will digest itself. Tm imofclmr, It has been recorded on Rood authority that one of the early us.'s made of dried ten leaves was to smoke them after thc manner of tobacco.

Well Ureaavd Woman Who Wear CatsMasla Sent on Approvnl, When tbe ways of some women arc considered, It is less remarkable that such numbers of women dwelling in the large cities dress extravagantly than before their methods of securing rich costumes for all occasions have been scrutinized. There are women, and many of them very wealthy, who make a regular practice of haviug elegant garments seut to their homes on approval, wearing them ouee and then returning them to stores or costumers. Some women will wear a dress or a cloak to the opera and scud It hack next morning. Or tliey will get a hat or wrap and go driving or visiting in lt. The average person would he ustoulshed to know all the things, from handsome umbrellas and fans of great beauty to Jewelry and clothes, that some -.Vonieu borrow from the shops. Of course all of these women are not well off, but they all divsn well and go out a great deal, and although the shopkeepers often discover the manner lu whieh they are being deceived, they do not always like to make a fuss fm feur of losing a good customer. Besides they know that If they Incur tbe eiiini ty of sueh impostors the women uiv quite capable of abusing their goods nnd robbing them of other and more honest customers. Strange us It may seem, these women generally mingle In pretty good society, or the fringes of 11. and have some influence iu the matter of dress, slnce'they have won the reputation of always dressing elegantly and ln the newest things. This sort of imposition had been carded on so often hy a customer of it certain large firm that its members determined to put a stop to her flaunting about ln borrowed plumage, at least when the plumage belonged to them. One 8uturday this woman had a splendid wrap sent home on approval, and on Sunduy one of the head clerks of the Arm who knew Mrs. Blank us the offender stationed himself near her pew in the fashionable church which she attended. When 6he sailed down the aisle after service, resplendent iu the borrowed cloak, this man stepped up to her and said: "How do you do, Mrs. Blank? I nm delighted to see that you like our cloak w-cll enough to kssep it." Of course nfter that she could not return the cloak. Still, with till ihe efforts put forward hy shops and costuina-B to break up the pernicious habit of forcible borrowing on the part of sundry feminine customers, the practice goes merrily on, r.nd many a fair dame with an enviable reputation for exquisite dressing appears but once in garments and hats thnt wben next seeu are bedeck in r another woman or hanging In t! r* room of Borne smart shop. Results That Astonished Relatives and Friends Miss Barbara M. Stanfold, a Victim of Anaemia, Imperfect Circulation and Debility Is Cured by PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND. In the month of May it is an absolute necessity that the body shoulil be furnished with a richer cud purer supply of blood ior tne establishment of a health that can succi'ss- fully cope with the enervating effects of hot summer weather.
