"Well, there's one thine we must
do together, Alice," said Mrs. Downs,

lively arranged to leave Home uext

"He's not here/' remarked Mrs.
Downs, who had alighted from the
carriage for a moment in order to in-
troduce her friend to the young sculp-
tor. She raised the knoclcer a sec-
ond time. "Well, the door's always
open," she went on, pushing it ajar.
' Visitors come and go so much that
Mr. Upton never locks it. The old
concierge is always about somewhere.
Now, just wander around, Alice, and
enjoy everything you see, and I'll be
back in not over half an hour."
Miss Acton entered the large, dim,
artistic apartment, aud was soon ab-
sorbed in eager and admiring scruti-
ny. It was unquestionably true that
this man's work had not been over-
praised. Each separate work had
meaning and interest, and showed a
something within and beyond the
white, cold marble and the dim clay.
In her tour of the apartment, she
had come to a heavy, narrow portiere.
Supposing that it merely hid some
choice figure iu a recess, she inno-
cently pushed it aside. It proved to
be the entrance to tho sculptor's in-
ner workshop. There was no one
within, but the girl was abashed at
her involuntary intrusion, and was
about to drop the portiere precipi-
tately, when
What, was this before her? Her
own face chiseled in the marble? She
caused in a shock of utter astonish-
hear the outer door of the studio
open; and so deep was lier pained
abstraction that nol until the new-
comer's masculine footsteps were al-
most at her side and the portiere was
lifted did she turn with a start.
To Alice Acton, the new surprise
was if possible greater than the one

"Ulair Lewes!" she exclaimed.
"Alice! "he uttered, equally astound-

"Are you?—was it?"—she began.
"Yes, I'm Gilbert Upton—as far as
Rome is concerned." said the other,
recovering himself, and with an at-
tempt at lightness.
"I don't understand," she said.

again at the face on the pedestal.

Wliisky Not Alone Meat and Drink,
But Washing and Lodging.
Mrs. John A. l.ogan, who has suc-
ceeded Miss Clara Barton in the presi-
dency of the Red Cross, was educated
in Kentucky.
In condemning intemperance Mrs.
l.ogan said recently.
"Alcohol vitiates the mind that the
degradation ii imposes on its victims
hardly seems like degradation to
them. The woes of these men arc
changed to blessing - in their besotted
brains.
"For instance." said Mr l.ogan
smiling, ' there used to live in Ken-
tucky an old man called Fawcelt
Jones. Fawcett drank to excess, and
he used to declare that whisky wa-
meat and drink to liim. But one hot
timmer night he drank so much thai
he fell into a puddle on the way le .me
and in this piuVlle If lay snoring un-
til dawn.
"A clergyman who had risen early
found him with hi- head in the mud
and his legs and body in the water,
rind the good man woke him up.

Why the Saloon Should Go.
Three things take men into the sa-
loon to drink—temptation, habit and
appetite. Men will stay on the farm
or at their work without drinking or
wanting to drink. When they get
where there is a saloon they will go
In and take a drink. That Is not ap-
petite; it is temptation and habit.

Both teacher and visitor felt a
lump rise In their throats an tho au

"Teetotalism means bread and but

With tears welling in her eyes, the
teacher said:
"You must explain that."
And the small damsel promptly re-
plied:
