"Your cab Is waiting, Mr. Blakes-
lee."
"Then I must go, I suppose."
"Yes, I suppose so. That Wfts your
intention, I believe."
"I believe it wa3. There doesn't
teem to be any particular reason why
I should stay around here any lon-
ger."
Here he glanced at her a trifle ex-
pectantly. "No," she replied, absently,
smoothing a tiny wrinkle in the cover-
ing ot the hard little hospital bed.
"Oh, you don't think there is?" he
demanded, fiercely, stopping in his
task of buckling the straps of his army
blanket.
"Well, the doctors say there isn't,"
she said, and then commenced
straightening the bottles on the little
stand with rather nervous fingers.
"Confound the doctors!" He gave a
vicious and final tug to the straps, and
then added: "They're a precious set—
the doctors."
"Why; one would think you hadn't
been well treated here," she said, with
rather an unsteady laugh.
"Oh," exclaimed the young officer,
"you've treated me well enough—just
as well as you would anybody else, I
suppose."
A shadow of a smile crossed her lips,
but there were tears in her eyes he did
not see.
"I don't complain," he went on bit-
terly, watching the graceful lines of
the little figure in the blue and white
striped dress, as it moved to and fro.
"Tomorrow they'll bring some other
poor fellow in here and you'll take
just as good care of him as you did me.
and let him go with just as much
cheerfulness, too. Poor devil." And
the young lieutenant went to the win-
dow and drummed on the glass with
impatient fingers as he stared gloomily
at the little patch of gray January sky
visible above the high roof of the
church next door.
Through many weeks of pain and
wfakness and weariness indescribable
he had watched that little scrap of
gray as he lay helpless in the grasp of
that terrible fever—the Insidious,
treacherous, deadly fever of the trop-
ics that had crept into his veins from
the trenches of Santiago.
At first it had meant nothin3 to
him but so much blank space, that
patch of sky.
Then it began to take on a new
meaning, as he noticed that it was
"I wonder if you know how rt-da you
are?" she retorted.
"Do you suppose it's easy "to say
goodby to a girl with a fac^ like
yours?" he went on recklessly, taking
her hands—the poor little har.ds all
reddened and roughened by hospital
work.
"Then it's only my face that makes
it hard. You flatter me, sir." She
had withdrawn her hands promptly
from his eager clasp.
"Oh, well, it might be a little easier
if you were crosseyed or looked like-
like Lydla Pinkham," he admitted. And
they both laughed.
After all, they were so young.
"And you expect me to go away after
all these weeks with you and pretend
not to care?"
"You have no right to care," she
cried, drawing herself up proudly.
"Ah, give me the right," he said. "I
cannot go away without you, and leave
you here to do this sort of work. This
hospital life is unfit for you—it is
wearing you out."
'Mr. Blakeslee, you do not know
what you are asking. I've taken up this
work against the advice and wishes of
my family and friends. To give it up
now would be to acknowledge my fail-
ure. It would be too humiliating. You
must not ask me to. And then—your
own career. You have made a glorious
record so far—you must not think of
anything else for years to come. And
your country needs you."
"No one else does, evidently," he
said, bitterly. "Well, goodby, little girl,
and God bless you." And without an-
other word he left the room.
The young officer strode along the
echoing corridors with hasty steps. His
heart was hot within him and he was
ashamed to find tears in his ey.es
But when he reached the great
doorway he hesitated.
Once outside and he had left her be-
hind him forercr. He could not leave
her this way. Without a word of
tjianks for the tender nur^ng she had
given him. She must not think him
ungrateful.
Swiftly he turned and retraced his
steps.
The door of the little room where he
had lain so long was partly closed
when he reached it. What if she had
gone.
With a beating heart he pushed the
door open softly and went in.
And there she was—the stout-hearted
young woman who had so bravely sent
him forth to his duty and £0 sturdily
kept to hers, with her head on the pil
low—his pillow—crying her heart out,
just like any other unhappy girl.
A moment he stood transfixed.
Then in one bound he crossed the
narrow room and took her in his
arms, and as their lips met two ca-
reers that might have been melted into
thin air and disappeared forever.—Ed-
gar Temple Field.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
FOR WOMEN AND HOME
Two Famous Example* of It Were Bis-
marck ami (iarlhaldl.
One Is always afraid that when a
man falls suddenly in love he may fall
out of it equally quickly, but among
celebrated men of the century who
have fallen in love at first sight and
married happily are Garibaldi and
Bismarck. In Garibaldi's autobiogra-
phy the story of his love is told. He
relates, how, feeling the need of some
one who would love him, and believ-
ing wo<nen to be "the most perfect
beings," he determined to" seek a wife
for himself. He was then pacing the
deck of the Itanarica, and he chanced
to look upon the houses of the Barra,
little hill at the entrance of the
Laguna of St. Catherine, In Brazil.
With the aid of a glass which he car- j
ried he saw a young girl, and he or- !
dered the men to put him ashore. On |
landing he tried to find the house I
which he had seen from the ship, but j
failed, and, meeting an acquaintance,
he accepted an invitation to take cof- j
fee at his house. "On entering the
house," says Garibaldi, "the first per- |
son on whom my gaze fell was the
one who had caused my coming ashore. |
It was Anita, the mother of my chil- |
dren. We both remained in an ec-
static silence, gazing at each other
like two persons who do not meet for
the first time and who seek In each
other's lineaments something which
shall revive remembrance. At last I
saluted her and I said: 'You must be
mine.' I spoke but little Portuguese,
and I said these audacious words in
Italian. However, I seemed to have
some magnetic power in my insolence.
I had tied a knot which death only
could break." Bismarck's courtship
was equally brief. Bismarck met and
lost his heart to Fraulein Von Putt-
kammer at a wedding, and thereupon
wrote to her parents and boldly de-
manded her. As at this time he was
a wild youth, whose pranks were the
talk of the country, it is not surpris-
ing that the young lady's father
should say: "It was as if some one
had struck me on the head with a.
heavy axe." However, Bismarck's
love being evidently returned, the ;
lady's parents invited him to visit j
them that they might know some- I
thing more about him than report told j
them. At the time of his arrival the

Good-night, pretty sleepers of mino—

Origin of Famous Fashions.
It is a singular fact In the history
of fashions that not a few of the more
famous of them owe their origin to
the endeavor to conceal a personal de-
fect or deformity of some distin-
guished leader of society. Patches were
invented in England in the reign of
Edward VI. by a foreign lady, who in
this manner ingeniously covered a wen
on her neck. Full bottomed wigs were
Invented by an ingenious French bar-
ber for the purposo of concealing an
unnatural protuberance on the should-
er of the Dauphin. Charles VII. of
France introduced long coats to hide
his ill-made legs. Shoes with very
long points, fully two feet in length,
were invented by Henry Plantagenet,
Duke of Anjou, to conceal a large ex-
cresence on one of his feet. When
Francis I. was obliged to wear his
hair short, owing to a wound he re-
ceived in the head, short hair at once

Bismarck rode up, and, hastily alight- |
lug, threw his arms around bis sweet- j
heart's neck and kissed her before any j
one had time to protest. The result |
was a formal betrothal. The "Iron j

tale, and he generally added to it the

often the background for a picture—a
charming silhouette of a girlish face,
with a little tip-tilted nose and tender
curves of cheek and chin and waving
masses of hair surmounted by a tiny,
stiff cap of diaphanous white.
He came to watch for this dainty
vision, and sometimes In his fevered
dreams he would see it when it was
not there, always bending toward him
with a smile of divine pity on the
sweet lips.
He could see it now, though his
back was turned to the girl busy at
the table, and he gave an inward
groan as he remembered that soon he
would see it no more, except in
dreams.
No one knew what that face had
grown to be to him In the past few
weeks. No one should ever know, he
resolved, with a little tightening of the
lips, as he turned from the window.
She did not care for his going—that
was evident.
"We take good care of everyone, I
hope," she was saying somewhat cold-
ly, "As for our being glad to see them
go—that is nonsense. We are very
sorry to lose you, Mr. Blakeslee—"
A groan burst from his lips.
"Oh, spare me that, I beg," he ex-
claimed, wrenching himself into his
blue cape-overcoat.
"And we're always interested to
know what the—the patients do after
they leave us," she proceeded, hesitat-
ingly. "Shall you return to the army,
Mr. Blakeslee?"
"I suppose so," he replied, "I'll go
out to Manila and get shot, if they'll
waste the powder and ball on me."
"How cowardly that sounds!" she
cried, indignantly, and the little wom-
an of 5 feet 1 surveyed the big soldier
with curling lip and dark, scornful
eyes.
"It would be braver, perhaps, to
stay at home and face death in the
shape of a diphtheria microbe or a
mettlesome horseless cab," he said
with rather unsuccessful sarcasm.
"It's braver to face life than death,
sometimes," was her reply. "Why
shouldn't you want to live?"
He crossed the room suddenly and
stood close to her, looking down Into
the flashing eyes.

llookwood.
American pottery has few peers in
these days of Souwelsa and Rookwood
and the pale, pearly, exquisitely tinted
glaze ware shown in such graceful de-
signs, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. The Souwelsa is first cou-
sin to Rookwood, but a poor relation,
aa it costs about half as much as do
the symphonies in polished greens and
browns. It has the same finish, the
same designs and tones, but seems to
lack the richness of Rookwood, al-
though the difference would not be per-
ceptible to the person perfectly sane
on the question of bric-a-brac. The
enthusiast can tell the difference in
the dark, she says. The pale-tinted
American pottery is highly polished
and the flowers of the decoration seem
to bloom mistily through the glaze, like
flowers seen through a frosty window-
pane. A high-shouldered jar of this
ware is softly shaded from palest blue
at the top, where it forms a back-
ground for a graceful rose-hued iris,
the long, pale green stems,of which
stand out delicately against the misty
gray below. '
THE USEFUL CAMEL.
Something About 1 li«- Abstinence of This
Remarkable Animal.
There are many fables told about the
camel; riding him is supposed to make
people seasick; he has the reputation
of being very vicious; he is supposed
to have several stomaens and to go for
weeks without water as a matter of
choice. I can only say that in nearly j ly combinations of muslin

Susan B. Anthony's Arrest.
Susan B. Anthony announces that
she will attend the international coun-
cil of women in London next June,
says the Philadelphia Post. Miss An-
thony is nearly 80 years old, and this
will be her second visit abroad. Her
first was In 1883, and it was attended
by an incident which she is very fond
of relating. At that time, as now, the
motto of the woman suffragists was,
"No taxation without representation."
Miss Anthony had this printed on her
envelopes and while in Berlin she
mailed a letter in one of these in-
scribed covers to a friend at home.
The declaration was regarded by the
Berlin police as being contrary to law,
and she was promptly arrested. It re-
quired the entire power of the Amer-
ican minister and the consul general
to secure her release. _ There is no
danger of such an event marring her
forthcoming visit, however, as Eng-
land looks upon all kinds of fads with
generous eyes. Miss Anthony lives
with her two maiden sisters, Mary
and Lucy, in the old Anthony home-
stead in Rochester, N. Y.
four years of experience I have never
met with a case of seasickness or heard
of it; neither have I known a really
vicious camel, except when they are in
a state called by the Arabs "saim,"
which means "fasting," and corre-
sponds to the "rutting" period in
stags. As regards the camel's stomach,
I believe it is identically the same as
that of any other ruminant, or that, at
any rate, there is no formation of
stomachs which would enable him to
do without water. His abstinence is
merely the result of training, and it is
a fallacy to suppose that he Is better
without water or can work as well. In
the camel corps we watered our camels
every second day in the summer, every
third day in the winter, giving them
their fill of water morning and even-
ing on those days; but if in the sum-
mer we expected a long desert march
without water, we trained them be-
forehand by only watering every third
day, but I never found that this im-
proved their condition. The Arabs
keep their camels longer without
water, it is true, but then they travel
slower and their animals are grazed on
soft food, containing a certain amount |
of moisture; this lowers their condi- I
tlon and makes them inferior to a
corn-fed camel when hard work and
long, fast journeys have to be done.
We always found that if we put a
grass-fed camel alongside of ours It
failed in work and endurance; If corn- |
fed it cried out for water as soon and j
sooner than ours did. I say "cried out" !
because a camel when it wants water j
moans continually, and there Is no
more painful sound at night in the
desert than the ceaseless moaning of
thirsty camels.—Cornhill Magazine.
Sun IlonnetH the Kage.
Sun bonnets of every description
are seen in the shops and exchanges,
and there is no doubt that, they are
to be the rage. The average outdoor
girl must possess at least half a dozen
of these creations. In the country
they are indispensable. Sometimes she
fashions them herself, but this is no
small task, and requires time and taste
and skill.
Nothing could be more becoming
and picturesque than some of the love-
lace and
ribbon which are already shown. They
are In plain colors, or flowered in
bright or pale colors, to suit every
taste. Some are soft and drooping,
and others are made on stiffened
forms. They have strings, or they
have not, but fhe strings, If there, are
unlikely ever to be tied. It would

intends to pay some jegard to her
complexion and not go hatless in the

Marketing In Cuba.
Probably one of the most pecular
customs noticeable in the Cuban mar-
kets is the extremely small purchases
-small fh quantity—made by the
lower class of natives. Small gourd
cups, holding scarcely more than a ta-
blespoonful, are used in measuring rice,
flour, beans and peas. Cabbages are
cut in wedges the size of a cigar,turnips
into eighths, squashes into minute
shunks, and onions Into halves. Po-
tatoes are sold by numbers.
It is no uncommon thing to see a
woman buy a piece of meat, weighing
a couple of ounces, then pass through
the market purchasing a tablespoonful
of vegetables here and a piece of garlic
there, and, finally, after an hour of
gossip, depart with food products worth
five or six cents.—Philadelphia In-
quirer.
A dainty spring-like air pervades the

Miiftlc of a Brans Hand.
Music caused the death of a beau-
tiful 3-year-old filly at Florence, Ala.,
the other day. A farmer drove the
valuable young mare Into town, and
as he was driving up the principal
street a brass band suddenly struck
up its blatant music. The mare had
never heard any sound like that be-
fore, and so startled was she that she
dropped dead in the shafts of the trap.
A veterinary surgeon who examined
thfl carcass declared that the mare had
died of heart failure due to excitement
caused by the sound bf the unaccus-
tomed music of the brass band.

Bodice Trimmings.
Among the various odd effects pro-
duced on the modern bodice is the use
of white pique with a coarse, heavy
cord. This appears on the new fou-
lards, th« daintiest nun's veilings and
crepes de chine in a chemisette, a wide
collar, or an inner or second vest peep-
ing out on either side of the front over
a lace or embroidered satin vest and
cut In scallops on the edge, finished
with a full ruche of white chiffon.
Scallops, by the way, are seen every-
1 where that an edge Is presented which
can be cut In scallops. It is a favorite
' mode of finishing the overdresses and
the bottom of short jackets, and some
| of the ruflleB are cut in scallops. You
! may have them deep or shallow, as you
I fancy, and trim them round with
ruchiugs, insertions or knife-plaitings.
The "Roxane" Hat,
One of the smartest types of hat Is
covered on brim, inside out, and to
the tip-top of the crown, with rows on
rows of lace. Just about June the lace
hat, which In Paris is called the "Rox-
ane," will begin to make Its influence
felt. Any woman who knows any-
thing of style and dainty needlework
can make her own Roxane by buying
a becoming shape of white wire, cov-
ered with coarse muslin, and on to this

the skirt, which is of circular shaping.
The novel feature of the mode Is th«
rippling circular ruffle that outlines an
oval panel at each side. The fullness
at the back Is folded In an under bJ*
plait. One of the fancy lace cravats or
scarfs may replace the stock of tin
shirt waist, which may be made of silk,
soft woolens or washable fabrics. A
neat device for a skirt of novelty good;
made up by the mode is to line the
ruffles with plain silk of some con-

A .June Bride's Gown.
Whatever else can be said in favor of
summer bridal gowns, it cannot be
truthfully asserted that they are inex-
pensive. The idea 13 to have them as
ethereal and fairylike as possible, and
this means a small fortune. In a mar-
velously beautiful bridal gown design-
ed for a Newport heiress the tradition-
thing blue" is originally carried out.
The gown consists of an overdress of
fine organdie, so delicate that it looks
like a mist. This is worn over a lining
of thin silk which is itself lined with
Oriental blue silk. The organdie and
white silk being partly transparent,
the blue casts a tint to the gown that
is Indescribable. The front of the skirt
is embroidered with white ribbon.
