gayety into one of plain, everyday,
humdrum Industry and thrift. Ol

When the reserve showed In her, he
became afraid. What was she not
capable of? In the other mood, frank-
ly appealing, she drew him mightily,
so that he abandoned himself for the
moment, responding to her v fresh ex-
ulting youth, longing to take her, to
give her things, to make her laugh, to
enfold and protect her, to tell her se-
crets, to feather her cheek with the
softest kiss, to be the child-mate of her.

frank, bb if they were but the best of
commonplace friends. Yet sometimes
she made him feel that she, too, threw
herself heartily io rest, in the thougnt
of their loving, and cheated herself, as
he did. with dreams of comradeship.
She left him at these times with the
feeling that they were deaf, dumb and
blind to each other; that if some means
of communication could be devisesl,
something surer than the invisible
play of secre,t longings, all might yet
be well, l ney ranted as Hie people

its uses as well as its abuses. Politics,
for example, would be less entertain-

fewer misunderstandings if it were

conveyed except by silences. Words
are not more than tasteless drapery to
obscure their lines. The silence of

two people by themselves might have
worked wonders.

snttbby set” would now and then
make a place for her at the card-
table. A few of Mrs. Drelmer's Inti-
mates were so wanting In good taste
as to Intimate that she exploited Miss
Bines even to the degree of an un-
derstanding expressed In bald per-
centage, with certain of those to
whom she secured the girl's society
at cards. Whether this Ill-natured
gossip was tme or false, It Is certain
that the exigencies of life on next to
nothing a year, with a husband who
could boast of next to nothing but
family, had developed an unerring
business sense In Mrs. Drelmer; and
certain It also is that this winter
was one when the appearances with
which she had to. strive were un-
wontedly buoyant.
Miss Bines tirelessly memorized
rules. She would disclose to her
placid mother that the lead of a trump
to the third hand's go-over of hearts
is of doubtful expediency; or that one
must "follow suit with the smallest,
except when you have only two,
neither of them better than the Jack.

Mrs. Bines declared that It did
seem to her very much like out-apd-
out gambling. But Perclval, looking
over the stubs of his sister s check-
book, warmly protested her inno-
cence of this charge.
‘Heaven knows Sis has her short-
comings,” he observed, patronizing-
ly, in- that young woman's presence,
‘but she's no gambler; don’t say It,
ma, I beg of you! She only knows
five rules of the game, and I Judge
it’s cost her about $3,000 each to
learn *hose. And the only one she
never forgets Is: ‘When in doubt,
lead your highest check.’ But don’t
ever accuse her of gambling. Poor
girl, if she keeps on playing bridge
she’ll have writer’s cramp; that’s all
I'm afraid of. 1 see there's a new
rapid-fire check book on the market,
and an improved fountain pen that
doesn’t slobber. I’ll have to get her
one of each.”
Yet Psyche Bines’ experience, like
her brother’s, was not without a
proper leaven of sentiment. There
was Fred Milbrey, handsome, clever,
amusing, knowing everyone, and giv-
ing her a pleasant sense of intimacy
with all that was worth while in New
York. Him she felt very friendly to.
Then there was Mauburn, presently

CHAPTER XIII.
THK DISTRESSING ADVENTURE OF
MRS BINES.
The fame of the Bines family for
despising money was not fed wholly
by Perclval’s unremitting activities.
Miss Psyche Bines, during the winter,
achieved wide and enviable renown
as a player of bridge whist. Not for
the excellence of her play; rather for
the inveteracy and size of her losses
and the unconcerned cheerfulness
with which she defrayed' them. She
paid the considerable sums with an
air of gratitude for having been per-
mitted to lose them. Especially did
she seem grateful for the zealous
tutelage and chaperonage of Mrs.
Drelmer.
"Everybody in New York plays
l-rldge. my dear, and of course you
must learn." that capable lady had
said in the beginning.
"But I never was bright at cards,"
the girl confessed, "and I'm afraid I
couldn't learn bridge well enough to
Intt res; you good players."
"Nonsense!" was Mrs. Drelmer's
assurance. "Bridge is easy to learn j
and easy to play. I’ll teach you. and j
I promise you the people you play j
with shall never complain.”
Mrs. Drelmer. it soon appeared, j
know what she was talking about. j
Indeed, that well-informed woman j
was always likely to. Her husband
was an intcllectua' delinquent whom ;
she spoke of largely as being "in Wall
stro.t." and in that feat of jugglery,
known u "keeping up appearances”

u-ious performer.
She was apt not only to know what
she talked about, but she was a worn

ments of bridge, if the tencher be-
came subsequently much the largest

tured, frank, carrying an atmosphere
of high-class British worldliness, and
delicately awakening within her while
she was with him a sense of her own
latent superiority to the institutions
of her native land. She liked Mau-
burn, too.
More impressive than either of
these, however, was the Baron
Ronault de Palliac. Tall, swarthy,
saturnine, a polished man of all the
world, of manners finished, elaborate
and ceremonious, she found herself
feeling foreign and distinguished in

ty, discredited In France, that send*

ture In their rattle-trap old chateaux,
and keep them In absinthe and their
other peculiar diversions. And Mau-
burn, you lucky minx, simply .adores
you—he’s quite mad about you,
really!”
In spite of Mrs. Drelmer's two-edged
sword, Miss Bines continued rather
more favorable to the line of De Pal
liac. T he baron was so splendid, so
gloomy, so deferential. He had the
air of laying at her feet, as a rug, the
whole glorious history of France,
And he appeared so well in the vic-
toria when they drove tn the park
It is true that the heart of Miss
Bines was as yet quite untouched;
and it was not more than a cool, dim,
esthetic light in which she surveyed
the three suitors impartially, to be-
hold the Impressive figure of the
baron towering above the others,
Had the baron proposed for her hand,
It is not impossible that, facing the
question directly, she would have par-
ried or evaded.
For certain events befell unpropi-
tiously at a time when the baron was
most certain ot his conquest; at the
very time, indeed, when he had de-
termined to open his suit definitely
by extending a proposal to the ypung
lady through the orthodox medium of
her nearest male relative.
"I admit," wrote the baron to his
expectant father,, “that it is what one
calls ‘very chances’ in the English,
but one must venture in this country,
and your son is not without much
hope. And if not, there is still Mile.
Higbee.”
The baron shuddered as he wrote
it. He preferred not to recognize
even the existence of this alternative,
for the reason tnat the father of Mile.
Higbee distressed him by an incom-
pleteness of suavity.
"He conducts himself like a pork,”
the baron would declare to himself,
by way of perfecting his English
The secret cause of his subsequent
determination not to propose for the
hand of Miss Bines lay in the hope-
lessly middle-class leanings of the
lady who might have incurred the su-
preme honor of becoming his mother-
in-law. Had Mrs. Bines been above
talking to low people, a catastrophe
might have been averted. But Mrs.
Bines was not above it. She was
quite unable to repress a vulgar in-
terest in the menials that served her.
She Knew the butler’s life history
two days after she had ceased to be
afraid of him. She knew the distress-
ing family affairs of the maids; how
many were the ignoble progeny of the
elevator man, and what his plebeian
wife did for their croup; how much
rent the hall-boy's low-born father
paid for his mean two-story dwelling
in Jersey City; and how many hours
a day or night the debased scrub-
women devoted to their unrefining
toil.
Brazenly, too. she held converse
with Philippe, the active and voluble
Alsatian who served her when she
chose to dine in the public restau-
rant instead of at her own private ta-
ble. Philippe acquainted her with
the joys and griefs of his difficult pro-
fession. There were 14,000 waiters
in New York, if. by waiters, you
meant anyone. Of course there were
not so many like Philippe, men of
the world who had served their tima
as assistants and their three years as
sub-waiters; men who spoke English,
French and German, who 7;new some-

and how to carve. Only such, it ap-

not be too much) should be allowed
that the coat might set through
and through. It is Inconvenient, ol
course, but, if one would suffer this
slight Inconvenience, It would add two
or three years to the life of the paint.
All this is assuming, of course, that
the paint used is the very best to
be had. The purest of white lend and
the purest of linseed oil unmlxed with
any cheaper of the cheap mixtures
often known as “White Lead,” and oil
which has been doctored with fish oil

adulterants known to the trade arc
used, all the precautions of the skilled
painter are useless to prevent the
cracking and peeling which make
houses unsightly in a year or so and
therefore, make painting bills too fre-
quent and costly. House owner
should have his painter bring the In
gredlents to the premises separately,
white lead of some well known relia-
ble brand and linseed oil of equal qual-
ity and mix the paint just before ap
plying it. Painting need not be ex
pensive and unsatisfactory if the old
painter's suggestions arc followed.
Drawing the Line.
We have followed the plow, wielded
the hoe, served time on the public
roads under an austere overseer,

den, churned the butter, washed the
dishes, nursed the baby and performed
other various and sundry disagreeable
tasks in our times without a murmur,
but when it comes to cleaning streets

please. Three women to boss you.

Laundry work at home would be

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, hut also affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-

World’s Cotton Consumption.
Tho consumption of cotton from
1893 to 1898 averaged only 9,000,000
bales annually In the whole world, but
from 1898 to 1903 the average was 10,-
684,14G bales annually, and the aver-
age price was three cents per pound
greater than for the previous period.
If the consumption increases at the
same ratio during the next five year
period the average will be nearly 13.
000 000 bales annually, and the prices
wili be much higher than in the pre-
vious period. This indicates a pros
perous future for the cotton producer
and manufacturer, as well as for the
export trade.

American Journal of Pharmacy on the

or lamb skin lining. The supply of
skins from the chamois animal is very
limited—enough could not be obtained
in a year to supply the United States
for more than a single day. He made
special inquiry on a recent visit to
Switzerland about the annual crop ot
the chamois skin and ascertained that
from 5,000 to 6.000 skins would be a
fclr average yearly crop. This skin ts
heavier than the skin of the sheep or
lamb, also much coarser. For strength

to see that, while she frankly liked

A woman who has used Postum
Fori Coffee since it came upon the

S • says; "At the time Postum was
first put on the market 1 was suffer-
ing l.-om nervous dyspepsia and my
physician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee. Finally I de-
cided to take his advice and try
Postum. and got a sample and had it
carefully prepared, finding it deli-
cious to the taste. So 1 continued
its use and very soon its beneficial ef-
fects convinced me of its value, for
1 got well of my nervousness and dys-
pepsia.
"My husband had been drinking cof-
fee ail his life until it had affected J
his nerves terribly. I persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to j
get him to make the change for the
Postum is delicious. It certainly
worked wonders for him.
• We soon learned that Postum doe*
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily aad honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
ach. To make a long story shor; bur
entire family have now used Postum
for eight year* with completely sat
iafvdhg results, as shows la our fine
condition of health and we have no-
ticed a rather unexpected improve

Comment and Suggestive Thougnt.
V. 1. "He . . . unto them." Jesus to
his twelve apostles and other d'-s-
ctples. There were very likely other
listeners. "A parable." Being a par-
able, the story is designed to Illus-
trate the truth at one point only. "to
this end.” For this purpose. This par-
able and the following are the only
ones which have, as Matthew Henry
says, "the key hanging at the door.”
The evangelist explains just what they
were calculated to teach.
V. 2. "A judge.” "Feared not God,
neither regarded man.” He had no
high motive to govern his life, but
was uprighteous In personal character,
and untrue to the duties of his of-
fice.
V. 3. “A widow.” It. is understood
that the was poor, unable to bribe the
judge, utterly destitute of power to
appeal to any motive that could have
force with the wicked man.
V. 4. “Would not for a while.” He
was utterly indifferent of whatever op-
pression was being inflicted -pon her.
Possibly he was a friend of her en-
emy, or had been bribed by him.
V. 5. "Because this widow troubleth
me.” The one person in all the uni-
verse that he cared for was himself,
and because his personal ease was dis-
turbed, he decided to act. "I will
avenge her.” Wilt make her enemy
cease tormenting her. "L«st . . . she
weary me (wear me out).” The orig-
inal of the verb is peculiar. It means
literally to strike under the eye. In
1 Cor. 9:27 it is translated buffet. It
is scarcely supposable that the judge
fancied the widow would get some one
to do him bodily injury, but he used
the strong word to express his great
annoyance. "Her continued coming.
Here is the point of the parable.
V. 6. "And the Lord said.” Jesus
thus applies the parable to the truth
he would teach.
V. 7 "shall not God." If an unprin-
cipled man will thus yield to the im-
portunity of one in whom he has no
interest, will not God, who is right-
eous and just and kind and loving, an-
swer persistent prayer?
V. 8. “Avenge them speedily.” Per
haps not soon, but suddenly. That
the wey God has always worked. Elec
tricity is long gathering in the clouds
but its coming is a flash of light-
ning.”
V. 9 "Certain.” Possibly some
among his own disciples had the self-
righteous spirit.
V. 11. “Pharisee stood." He posed
himself in a conspicuous attitude, feel
ing ho had the right to face God, and
wishing to be seen of men (Matt. 6:5)
"I am not as other men.” God had
given him better advantages and
wider oportunities than had been
granted to many; he should have
prayed for grace to use these in the
best possible way.
V. 12. "I fast twice a week." Only
one fast day in the year was required
by law. (Lev. 16:29-34). To this some
of the Pharisees had added private
fasts, on Monday and Thursday of each
week.
V. 13. “Arar off.” At a distance
from other worshipers who pressed as
near as possible to the holy place.
•Would not lift up . . . unto Heaven.”
'The Jews generally looked up while
praying, and stood with arms out-
spread and their palms turned upward,
as though to receive the gifts ol
Heaven.” ‘’Smote upon his breast."
This was one mode prevalent among
orientals for expressing great grief.
The original indicates that he did this
repeatedly.
V. 14. •'Justified." Forgiven, re
ceived into the family of God, and
treated as a Just person. “Rather than
the other.” Though the publican had
been perhaps the greater sinner, yet,
confessing and forsaking his sin. he
was saved; while the Pharisee held
to his sins, covered them with the
robe of self-righteousness, offered no
prayer for forgiveness, hence his pre-
tended worship had ny real value
“Humbleth . . . exalted." He who
feels his own insufficiency is in such
an attitude that God can lift him to
nobler living.
Practical Points.
V. 1. Though 4iot always in the acl
of prayer, we may continually be Id
the spirit of prayer.—1 Thes. 5:17.
V. 3 If we have the spirit of Christ
we will quickly respond to t)»e cries ol
those w ho are destitute or oppressed
|as. 1:27.
V. 7. If we would hare God vindi-
cate us, we must not take the mattei
| out if his bands and attempt to do It
ourselves.—Rom. 12; ID.
V. 8. It become* na to be ever ready,
tor God's comings la mercy aad ts
judgment are sudden aad ui

Nicotine In Tobacco.
A scientist writes: "The essential
quality for which tobacco Is smoked
or chewed lies not really In the leaves
themselves, but Is contained In thou-
aands of hollow-knobbed hairs which
cover their surface. The vital nicotine
is garnered In these pearlike balls, but
as It la impossible to shave off these
hairs, and would be a scarcely com-
mendable achievement if it could be
undertaken, It becomes necessary to
preserve the whole foliage for com-
mercial purposes/*_
Veteran* Rapidly Passing Away.
Veterans of the civil war are dying
now at the rate of 100 a day, accord-
ing to records of the United States
pension office. The monthly report*
for several months past have shown
the death rate among the old soldiers
to be in the neighborhood of 3,000 a
month. Pension office officials who
have watched the figures closely and
know the tendency of the death rate
are of the opinion that the number of
civil war pensioners has reached the
maximum and that herea'tcr each
succeeding month will show a de-
crease.
