If I were Kir.: • f Fairyland
And had the ri^ht to say
How blessings should bo passed around
Down here, from day to day—
If 1 might give to cach and ail
Whatever gilts I chobi--
What should 1 give, my little boy.
To you. do you suppose?
Not heaps of gold nor mighty shipt
To sail the ocean blue.
Not wealth to make of other boys
The hired slaves of you—
But ruddy cheeks for sparkling eyes,
A laugh that had the ting
Of honest pleasure in it, and
A heart lor an> thing!
If I were King of Fairyland.
With none to say ine nay.
O, little girl, what think you I
Should bring to you to-day?
Nay, 1 should bring across the set
From some kr.lght-rldden strand
No mincing little ' nobleman"
To ask you fcr your hand!
1 would not raise up castle walls
Where you should be the <^uetn.
But i would let you play with dolls.
Still artless and serene;
And i would put within your heart
The everlasting grace
That lifts a woman out and leaves
An angel in her place.

which were hoisting viist loads of
trunks and boxes from the pier below.
"It is only a basket of fruit 1 or-
dered Lucy to Ret for me," said Mrs.
Uoddard, her face suddenly changing.
"I always timl that it is difficult to
get just the right kind of fruit one
wants on board, no matter how good
the supply is."
"But," said the major, bending down
and removing tne cover, "they must
have made tome mistake. 'Ihis bas-
ket dues not contain fruit. There cer-
tainly are cans of meats, sardines,
pate de foies gras and rolls of boned
turkey. They have sent you the
wrong basket."
Mrs. Uoddnrd laughed uneasily.
"Well, I may as well acknowledge
that it is something to eat. 1 did
not want you to know that I could
have such a ravenous appetite after
parting w.th you; but the truth is,
the sea air keeps me hungry ail the
time. I want to eat at night when
it doesn't look respectaole to make
demands on the ship's larder. Now,
come out on deck. It is stuffy in here.
The air will not be stirring till we
get out of the harbor.*
Not fully satisfied with her flurried
explanation, he fol owed her out on
the deck, and he dismissed the sub-
ject as unworthy of comment at such
an Important moment. They strolled
along the deck, now holdin
tendency. Nobody but you would dare
to attempt to work a man like he is."
"Yes, it all depends on the grip," ad-
mitted Jciiime; "and the longer we are
separated the less my influence will be;
so vou see the absolute need of striking
while the iron is hot."
Mrs. Nolan threw a startled look into
her companion's calm face,
"Striking while the iron is hot?
she repeated, interrogatively.
"Yes; now come into the stateroom;
we must clearly understand each
other."
When they were in their room. Mrs.
Goddard closed and locked the door.
Then they sat down and conversed in
whispers for an hour.
"Oh. 1 wish," protested Mrs. Nolan,
when the conference was ended, "1
wish you would postpone it till we are
on land. 1 am such a poor actress."
"Well, it simply has to be done, and
after considering a dozen plans there
could be nothing so good as this. I
couldn't tell him it would be so soon,
for lie would have backed down on the

room she found her companion on the

CHATTER Vm.
As the major and his wife were be-
ing driven up to the pier where the
Cleopatra lay, his agitation increased.
"It will soon be over," he sighed.
"You will cable me as soon as you
land, won't you, Jeanne?"
There was just a hint of hesitation
in the look she gave him, then:
"Yes, dear Rowland," she said, "the
moment 1 land; but my letters, re-
member, must go to the box."
"I shall simply haunt the place," he
declared.
They alighted from the cab and
walked along the pier through the
hurrying throng of cabmen, draymen,
passengers and people who had conic
to see their friends off. Reaching
the gang plank, lowered for the ac-
commodation of the saloon passen-
gers, they saw Mrs. Nolan on the up-
per deck leaning against the railing
and trying to attract their attention.
Mrs. Goddard laughed merrily and
waved tlif: bit of cambric she held in
her hand.
"Let's go right up," she said to her
husband. "I want you to see our big
rooms. You will agree with me that it
is better to go in a boat that is not
quite so fust than to miss such quarters
as I have engaged."
He complied. The attention her
beauty and stylish appearance had at-
tracted from the bystanders had not
escaped his eye. Ilis heart was beat-
ing madly as lie followed her up the
gangplank to the first deck. In a mo-
ment they were shaking hands with
Mrs. Nolan. Ooddard's handshake was
a mere cold formality. He now hearti-
ly disliked his wife's homely confeder
ate. lie despised h. r for being weak-
enough to obey Jeanne s criminal or-
ders; she had not, he argued, his own
excuse of lieinj blindly in love. As they
*tood there lie felt as if they were
three murderers passing before the
world as reputsKe, well-to-do citizens.
"Well, let me see your staterooms,"
he said, resignedly.
"They are on this deck, the last
towards the stern," said Mrs. Goddard,
leading the way. "in fact, there are
no other apartments up here except the
captain's, and his quarters are further
forward. We shall be absolutely pri-
vate."
They had now reached a door to
which Mrs. Nolan had the key, and
they unlocked it and went in. It was
indeed a spacious apartment. In addi-
tion to the wide double bed, the room
contained a soft lounge, a tea table and
china service, and a little sideboard
braced against the wall. Adjoining it
were a bath and a single-berth room.
"Here," said Mrs. Goddard, opening
the door of a closet about a yard in
depth, "is the gem of modern improve-
ments. I can hang up my things and
they will keep dry and smooth, lie-
sides, the purser said there were but
two keys to it. and he has promised to
let me have both uf them, for security's
sake."
"Ilere they are," said Mrs. Nolan, tim-
idly, and she cringed under Goddard's
pudoen gaze. "He gave them tome just
now."
Mrs. Goddard laughed mysteriously.
"I told him 1 had some valuable
things which I did not care to keep in
the safe in the office, and he assured me
they would be absolutely safe in my
closet."
The brows of the major ran together
in perplexity.
"What is at the bottom of this?" he
said. "What sort of valuables do you
jefer to?"
The woman addressed shrugged her
shapely shoulders.
"Your photograph, dear Itowland,
she said. "I must not let it be stolen.
1 can't deposit such a thing in the
ship's safe, you know, and yet I want
it with me, of course. But—now re-
member, if there ever is anything
which you cannot comprehend fully,
think of this closet and its two keys
and the puzzle will be solved."
"You are so strange," he said, try-
ing to fall Into her mood. Just then
one of the deck hands caine in with
Mrs. Nolan's steamer trunk and small-
er luggage. A large willow basket to
which was attached a enrd bearing
the advertisement of a well-known
delicatessen estnbllsh'I 'nt riveted the
roving glance of the major. Noting
his curious stare at It, Mrs. Nolan
moved nearly to the door und stood
looking out at the clattering machines
ous eyes, were regarding the
assembled below. At last the gong
which was the signal for those who
were not to sail to go ashore—was
sounded, and Goddard grew actually
white as he clutched his wife's hand.
"Are you seasick?" she jested.
"You know how this parting is kill-
ing me," he answered.
"Our meeting scon or—never .de-
pends on you," was licr quiet, firm re-
ply. „ ,
"I fondly hope you will find some
other way," he said, in despair. ^
"Y'ou need not count on that, dear,"
she said. "Now kiss me and go.
As he went down the gang plank he
had to hold to the railing to be sure
of his foothold. Reaching the pier, he
stood in the ranks along the water s
edge, his eyes glued to a single face
on the deck of the ship, which was lie-
ginning to move. An old woman near
him, who was waving a farewell to
her daughter, was sobbing aloud; he
felt like crying, too, and but for the
smiling countenance lie adored lie
might have done so. He was the last
to leave the pier. When the Cleopatra
had vanished from sight he started
homeward. The difference between
his condition and that of his wife was
that she felt as if she were just en-
tering a state of freedom, while he
had sold himself into bondage, of
body and soul.
It was five o'clock in the afternoon
when he reached Lyndhurst. He
heard Blanche singing as she sat at
the piano in the drawing-room, and
when he went in he saw Miss Dean
and Talley standing near her. They
all came towards him.
"We have been waiting tea for you
Maj. Goddard," said Miss Dean, giving
"OUK MEETING DEPENDS ON YOU,
SUE SAID.
him her hand; "and we have planned
not to allow you to get blue, haven'
we, Blanche?"
His ward nodded, her eyes on bin
face, but she did not speak.
"I thank you," he said, smiling:
"but not—not yet. Later I shall join
you, but I am going to my room just
now. It is good of you to come to us,
Miss Dean."
"But, really, won't you have one
cup?" pleaded Blanche, all tenderness
and sympathy.
"Not this nftemoon, dear," and he
turned from the room.
"Oh, isn't he splendid?" exclaimed
Miss Bean, when he had left the room.
"He is one man that rouses the best
emotions that arc in me. I could love
a—an unmarried man like that."
She was speaking to Blanche, but
our heroine had gone to the table and
was pouring a cup of tea.
"Y'ou take two lumps, Lottie, I be-
lieve," she said, in a voice in which
there was a hint of unsteadiness.
CHAPTER IX.
Mrs. Goddard stood by her accom-
plice and waved her handkerchief un-
til she was tired, Then she said:
"Do you think he can distinguish
me in a crowd at this distance, Lucy? '
"I think not," answered Mrs. Nolan,
indifferently. "My sight is good, and
I can't tell him from anybouy else on
the pier."
"Then I shall stop; my arm aches.
Do you think he will do us I wish? '
"1 don't know him as well as you
do." Mrs. Nolau evidently laid no
claim to perspicacity. "It looks to me
like a mighty easy way to make
money, but, of course, as you said the
other day, it all depends on your grip
uu him. I think what we have to fear
more than anything is hi preachy
not dare to open his mouth. Even if I
should fail, you see, they would con-
clude that the whole thing was simply
the conduct of an Insane person."
"The whole scheme stamps you us a
regular genius," said Mrs. Nolan. "Arc
vou sure you can stand the ordeal, and
that there is e nough for you to eat in
the basketIt wiil not seem right for
me to go down to warm meals in the
salon while you ure eating cold things
up here."
"I shall put it off if possible till we
are nearly in," said Mrs. Goddard.
"Besides, you may order your meals
sent here occasionally and we w ill ex-
change."
It was the third day out. The sky
was cloudless and the sun was throw-
ing down a genial warmth upon long
rows of passengers in steamer chairs
and rugs on the deck. Mrs. Goddard
and her companion sat side by side. An
inclination towards sociability had
drawn most of the passengers together
in half-hearted efforts at entertain-
ment, but the two characters belonging
to my history held themselves quite
aloof from all.
The captain, who as a habit spoke
to few of his passengers, seemed to have
singled Mrs. Goddard out as a voyager
of no little distinction owing to her oc-
cupation of the best stateroom on
board, for he often bowed to her as he
passed. I o-day, when Mrs. Goddard
saw him coining along the deck in their
direction, she nudged her companion.
"There is a vacant chair next to me,"
she said. "If I can get him to sit down
a moment T shall play tny first card.'
"Oh, don't say anything before me,"
entreated Mrs. Nolan; "I feel so slinky .
"Vou must get over that," ordered
our arch conspirator, sternly. "Now,
don't you forget what I told you."
The captain was now quite near. It
was the smile of Mrs. Goddard that
caused him to doff his cap and pause.
A fine day, madam," he said, cor-
dially.
She motioned for liiin to sit down in
the cliair on her left.
I have been wanting to speak to
you, captain, ever since the beginning
'of the voyage," she said, and there
was a strange lack-luster expression
in her eyes.
I am at your service, Mrs. God-
dard," he said, studying her face, curi-
ously.
Of course, I don't want you to re-
gard what 1 say in the light of a com-
plaint," she went on. "In fact, I
make up my mind to put up with a
great many horrible things at sea.
But, captain, is there not a—a decided
feeling among the sailors that we will
never get into port alive?"
"Why, madam!" He opened his
eyes wide with astonishment. "I don't
understand you. Surely—"
"I have always heard they were su-
perstitious people by nature," she
broke in. "Now Lucy, here, has been
trying to pacify lue a.i day; but she is
lying to inc. I am sure my husband
instructed her to keep me in the d'ark.
The captain glanced past her and
tried to catch Mrs. Nolan's glance,
but this woman was looking off in the
opposite direction, her face deathly
white, and twitching with excitement.
"Y'ou were saying that the sailors
are superstitious by nature," he
floundered about in his effort to ap-
pear both respectful and to get at her
meaning.
"Yes, and you see, passing so many
dead bodies of men, wotnen and chil-
dren would make them more so, I
can't bear it. There are more of
them on this side of the ship than
the other."
• Why, what do you mean?" he
gasped. "Madam, there arc no dead
bodies here."
Mrs. Goddard flared up and gave
him her eyes steadily.
"My husband has instructed you to
deceive me, too," she cried. "Lucy
said you would agree with her. You
are all in the plot to worry me—to kill
me."
She rose suddenly and dropped her
rug at. her feet.
"I am going to my stateroom and
try to sleep, but what does closing my
eyes amount to? I can see them just
the same."
The captain was on his feet almost
as soon as she was nnd he walked
with her to the door of her room.
Then, with a face much disturbed, lie
came back to Mrs. Nolan. 11c put his
finger on his brow significantly.
"Something is wrong with her," he
said, in the peremptory tone of a su-
perior to one beneath him; "what is
it?"
"It is not nt all serious, sir," stam-
mered Mrs. Nolan. ' She doesn t talk
that way often."
"Did you know her mind was—was so
when you '.eft America with her?"
"She told me she had strange feelings
sometimes—delusions, but that the
ocean always cured her."
"Does her family know of her condi-
tion?"
ctdeilly better.

"Children's wants are often surpris-

for'homeless little ones, according to
the Chicago Inter Ocean. "Once there
came here a poor, little, neglected,

"A charitably disposed woman took
her for a drive". On the way home she

(In another occasion a lady who we
visiting the institution asked a small

Chrlfttmas. "A walking-stick with a
gold head," lie said quickly.
"That is the way with tin1 children,
the matron explained. "They have

"An instance of this was an orphan I
who had been banged around during j

Tliore Art* n llnndp^d fa «i
Cor the Active Surm-on-Sur-
gcry'.i Suicide.
The subject has few rivals in the-
surgical field, und *akt s rank to-da\
with typhoid, pneumonia and rheu-
matism in medical thought. Surely,
when the active sur^-ou of to-day can
number 100 operation* for diseased
appendices yearly ami there are a
do/en such men in this city and in
other cities in the name proportion -
we begin to grasp the importance « f
the subject and its menace to the
community, says an address by l*r-
Robert Abbe before the New York
Academy of Medicine.
The problems of surgery to-day are
fewer than they were 25 years ago,
although there is vastly more surgical
work done. This period has seen great,
changes in the class of cases that fall
into the hands of the operator. Then,
strangulated hernias were extremely
common; to-day. owing to the vast
number of radical cures, they are com-
paratively rare. Pyatiuic joints and
abscesses were then the daily oare of
the surgeon; to-day they constitute
a small proportion of active work.
Abscess of the kidney, so fatal theu.is
now relatively infrequent, owing to
care in preventing cystitis with «is-
eending infection, due to the use of
impure eatheters. Aneurisms and
tertiary bone lesions nre comparative-
ly rare, owing to better understand-
ing of primary and secondary diseases.
Tuberculosis lesions seem to me, also,
to be much less common, owing to
more careful isolation of the infected
subjects, better house sanitation, and
milk and food control. In fact, it
would seem that the statement were
almost true, that no profession is do-
ing as much as ours to end its own
pxistencc. Yet, as soon as one problem
is put upon the list as better under-
stood, another comes up for solution.
The public continues to nsk the
physician what was appendicitis for-
merly. and he answers: "Probably it
passed under the description of 'in-
flammation of the bowels,' or 'peri-
tonitis.'4' It is true that less than a
generation ago numberless people, in
the course of summer travel, were
stricken with so-called inflammation
Df the bowel or peritonitis and died.
Now, we hear of no one so reported,
out it is said, "he had an attack of
Appendicitis, was beyond the reach of
a surgeon and died," or "so-and-so had
in attack of appendicitis, was oper-
ated upon and recovered." Hospital
statistics show the same changes of
tabulated diseases. It is merely a new*
name, not a new disease.

Freneli Pen.linl Worker*.
The striking fact to the American
mind Is the large predominance, of
the class of women employed as farm
laborers in France—2,700,000 women
engaged in farm labor! The sight of
n woman, generally in combination
with a dog, usurping the place of
the horse as motive power—a fre-
quent one In certain portions of la
belle France—causes all properly con
stituted American hair to stand on
end with horror, so repugnant is it
to the Anglo-Saxon idea of woman-
kind. This deeply-rooted prejudice
against the employment of women
in rough out-of-door work does not
exist in France, and the peasant, pure
and simple, constitutes one of the
strongest types of French woman-
hood—the backbone of the nation.—

Little York, Jnd., April 2 (Special).
Twenty-live years ago, the Ilev. C.
II. Thompson left Indiana. For a
time he preached in Arkansas, after-
wards entering on the regular mis-
sionary work among the Choctaw In-
dians.
For five years, he lived and labored
among the full bloods of the western
prairies, until on April 5th, 1885, hay-
ing lost liis wife, lie left the circuit
on which ho had preached so long,
and commenced traveling missionary
work among the Indians of the vari-
ous Tribes scattered in the West.
This Irregular work involved m
great deal of travel over the prairies.
The drinking of so much alkali wa-
ter, brought on Kidney Troubles
which terminated in Diabetes.
Finally, while laboring among tho
.Creek Indians at Wagoner, Indian
Territory, this noble man was strick-
en down completely. A Chicago Spe-
cialist was summoned, and after a
careful examination, declared thai
there was not the slightest chance
of his recovery. Besides the pre-
scriptions of the doctors,
many other medicines,
avail. Ho says:
"I had concluded that my days
were drawing to a close, when T
picked up an Almanac telling of tho
cures of Diabetes by the uso of
Podd's Kidney Tills. I sent for two
boxes. I gained strength and spirits
from the time 1 commenced to us«
them, and so I sent for more. I am
row completely cured, and have not
the slightest symptom of my old
trouble.
"I am 03 years of age. I tell every-
body of tho wonders Dodd's Kidney
Fills have done for me. I can certain-
lv endorse them heartily, and vouch
that they are all that is claimed for
j them. They have certainly been a
God-send to me."
Dodd's Kidney Pills nre the only
Remedy that has ever cured Bright'#
Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy and they
never fail.
