LANDRY'S LETTER ¢

(Copyright, 1304, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) . l FELT herribly sorry for Katherina when Landry died. It must have been an awful blow, for she seemed to lose every bit of her spirit and went "about pale and listless for months. You see, Landr{ was a fine fellow, an unystal fellow.. T don’t believe there was a selfish fiber in the man’s whole make-up. He was essentially big-hearted and lovable. Homely in feature to positive ugliness, he was still attraetive in appearance. He was famous in a, slgall way as the author of certain delicate love sketches, very tender and dainty in sentiment, and so unlike him as to seem inconsistent with what we knew of his character. A right jolly good fellow, with plenty of sense and a cheerful lot of brains under his sandy poll. He and Kit had been engaged for a long time, and I knew that he fairly worshiped her, though he was very quiet about it. I felt a mild sort of envy, for I had never plumbed the depths of love myself. I'd had my little affairs, but I always hated myself during their progress, because I couldn’t really feel—l was only amused -and entertained, never touched. My friendship with Kit was the one real sentiment of my life, for we had been like brother and sister for ten years Ever since she had begun to yearn for long skirts and put her pig-tails up into the crown of .gvomanly dignity. Whenever Landry was away [ took his ‘place at her side, and jolly good times we had, and many of them. A few months before Landry’s death Kit semed to change some. way. She took to mooning about for all the world like a disappointed lover. Lan--dry, too, went into the dumps. :?e grew thin and pale and more impersonal than ever.. He was very tender with Katherine, and so I knew that it ~was no lover’s quarrel that was weatring on them. She sort of clung-to him as though she felt him slipping from her, and I've sometimes thought since that she must have had a premonition of what was coming. One morning, on my way home from an all-night vigil, old Damon lost his head and I came a pretty cropper; It wasn’'t far from home, as luck would have it, and I managed to get to the house. I was preity much used' up, taking my weariness and the shakingup together and my knees shook as if I'd been officiating at my first operation. Afterward, when Kit came in to see me, I tried to laugh it off, and I jollied her up. : ~ “Landry ’ll be good and jealous if you don’t watch out; I told her. &I bélieve you're in love with me, old girl.” Her face flamed a sudden crim‘son over its old pallor, and she looked at me sharply. Then I caught her hand and pulled her down to me. I kissed her, as I always had, and for « moment she laid her face against my cheek. | . “What if you’d been killed?” -she whispered. “What if you'd been killed?” . ? i “You’'d still have® Landry,” I retorted, and Kit slapped me.= It wasn’t the - first time by ‘any means, for you see "we'd been Dboy and girl together. I couldn’t; help seeing that her eyss looked funny. A new expression, I'd ‘mever seen there before—and I wondered. . . ' It was shortly after that poor Landry came down with typhoid. It wasahard case from the start. Sometimes it gets a grip on a man and an M. D. can see that there’s no hope whatever. Thani goodness, we were all there with him. He wasn’t alone, as he had been the greater part of his life—since he’l ¢ been a little chap, in faet. He wasn’'t lonely. Sometimes it seemed to me that he was happier than 1 had ever seen him. I felt that he was glad to go, and I couldn't understand it. It broke us all up, every one of us, for we loved the poor fellow. .

I found her on the veranda one evening, alone in the soft darkness. 1 felt a bit down myself. Things weren’t goins very well, and I began to think that I was not fitted for a professional life after all. I felt too sorry for my patients. I couldn’t give a judicial, impersonal sympathy, as a physician must to be among the ranks of the successful. Every death that came under my notice worked on my mind to such-a degree that it unfitted me ‘o care for the living. : "She tbok my hand and held it tightly in both of her own. I felt a sudden tightening at my heartstrings, and a rush of tenderness swept over me. - “Lonely, old girl?” I asked softly. “Oh, so lonely, Freddy—so lonely—¥ou can’t know,” and she drew my hand up to her face and leaned her lips upon it. . : “ “Poor heart,” I said, and I bent and laid a gentle kiss on her forehead. She turned_her pale, luminous face up to me, wistfully, like a child, and [ kissed her warm, red mouth. Then my heart began thumping like a hydraulic ram and my hands trembled strangely. I tried to steady them. She would

COZY HOME FOR TRAMPS. Wealthiest Hobo in America Plans a Comfortable Refuge for - the Aged.. Hans Ablehanson, the wealthiest ‘tramp in America, who‘several years ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, at the expense of a western railroad magnate, as a result of a wager that Hans could not walkk from Tacoma %o Panama in eight months, is to build a home for aged tramps. Hans recentiy received $25,000 by the will of a relative who died in Sweden, and the money is now said to be drawing interest in a New York bank. : , : Hans recently disclosegd his intention to his friend, Peter Johnson, of Worcester, Mass. The other day Johnson was in New York, and, while talking about Hans’ project, said: . ““It sounds lke the dream of a crazy man, but Hans declares that he will build the tramps’ home with his money. He says that he will build his home somewhere in New England. I asked him why he didn’t take his money and settle down and he said it is much more fun to be a tramp.

be =0 angry if she thought that I dared. I had kissed Katherine numberless times, as a man may kiss his gister, lovingly, tenderly, but abso--lu;eg‘y “without a thrill They had never been like this. I was at a loss. I had never dreamed of Katherine except as my dear old friend—my manhood chum, and as for her—my heart sank, for I knew she had been utterly devoted to old Landry and mourned passionately for him. At least ‘I thought so. ' If she knew what [ was thinking she would hate me—loathe me, forever. If she knew—ah, if she knew. She sat there dreaming, her eyes, as I thought, on memory's distant mountain peaks; her dear, warm, brown eyes that I loved. She turned to me with a little laugn. “It’s so nice to be loved a little,” she said, as she nestled against my coat, as if she belonged there. I fought with myself a moment. She must have felt my heart beating. 1 was horribly ashamed. Then I suddeniy lost my self-control, and stooping tcward her, I took her im my arms and Lkissed her passionately, many, many times, passionately, eagerly, as I had never kissed anyone in my life—as I he_xd_ never vganted to kiss anyone before. After' a time I lifted my head and waited for ‘the storm. I knew it must combe. I felt like a whipped ciir, though every rulse in my body throbbed with delight and joy. Whatever came, I knew now. I was blind no longer. They talk of love being blind. I say it's the other way about; it’s love that clears our sight—so we can really see where we have always before being groping in a dim halflight. . A She nestled closer in my arms and laughed a little, low laugh of contentment. - ‘ . “Oh, PFreddy, boy” she said, “I thought you would never wake up. I've been such a long, long: time waiting to come home.” ’ I started back and faced her in amazement. - / “And—and Landry?” I faltered. “Oh, my dear, I never loved Landry.” (Ah, so I knew now “why hsa was glad to go, poor duffer, poor, unselfish, loving old duffer.) ““He. knew I didn’t, but he—he—cared, and he knew I loved you, so he helped me:. He told me you loved me, only you were asleep, and I've waited so long—so long for this,” she sighed, happily. - - Y I looked in her eye§ incredulously. “Kit, why in the name of common sense didn’t you tell me?” “Tell you? Freddy, how could I? I wasn’t sure you—you cared, and sometimes I was sure you didn't. [t was only because Landry was so positive that I dared to hope. I could oniy wait in silence,’ and since Landry died it has been so lonely, so dreariby lonely.” .

“Poor old girl,” I said in her hair, “poor darling old girl.” ‘“You've lost a whole year,” she cried, “a whole year.”. | “Then you knew a year ago?” . “Yes: it's funny, Freddy, but I couldn’t imagine why no man ever moved me the least tiny bit. When Landry told me he cared, I tried to think I loved him, but he said then that I didn’'t, and afterward, he knew it was you. He watched my eyes, he said, when you were about, and when he told me that, I was as astonished as you were when I told you. : “When your horse threw you that time, then I knew beyond a doubt, for I suffered agonies thinking what might have happened. You were so ghastly that I was horribly frightened, I felt sure that you were at least maimed for life.” . < And then, she brought me the letter —Landry’s letter, that was not to be delivered until I had found my own. Oh, that letter.” :If I had only seen it ‘when Landry died. Kit would not have grown pale waiting for what was always hers. - “You confounded blind old bat,” he wrote, ““what in the name of all that's holy, do you stay around here for? If I was such an egregrious donkey as you are I'd go off and ‘die, but I've got to be the one instead—and I've got eyes to see. That's ever the way in this vale of tears. : “Well, you must know some time. Tt will come to you all at once, as the knowledge of it came to me—then, old boy, I wouldn’t mind being in your boots. I'd give my life for that ons hour as happily and freely as I'd toss a copper to a pickaninny. It can’t be —so I give you my blessing and what little I can aad to your future—though, of . course, you know, I mean hers—and that is the fortune that I haven’t been able to squander with all my idle worthlesness. Make her happy with it, if you can, and so I shall know | have a hand in her comfort after all, ~ “You weren’t cut out for a pilldoper, old man.: Drop it. Well, so long. ‘Take keer of yerself,’ and be £ood to .her to make up for ' your cussed stupidity. Landry.” [ The name stared up at us in his well-known writing, and suddenly, an overpowering sense of his nearness mastered me. Kit reached out a trembling hand. I felt a shudder go over ‘her and a mist obscured my sight for a moment. Then: . .“Yes, yes,” I heard her whisper, faintly, “I see you, dear, dear Landry.” J -

“He said that the only thing he wanted to get out of his money is a home to live in when he gets too old to catch freights. 80 long as he had to build himselfahome, he declared that he might as well'build one large enough for 25 or 30 of his friends. He told me that he knew 5,000 tramps on the road in the United States. Some of these friends of his, he explained, are getting old and stiff and canpot tramp much longer. : ““He plans to put all of his money in this home for his friends. After it is built, he argues that by a little work, such as broom making or metiding chairs or something of that kind, the 25 tramps who reside within can pay running expenses. - When I asked him how soon he is going to build this home he satd that he is looking for a suitable place, and that as soon as he finds one he will taks his money out of the bank and build.” : - Not Much to It. Mrs. Golightly—This is my ‘new $65 bathing dress, my dear. What do you think of it? : Golightly—Think yeu got less for your money than‘anyone I ever knew. --Town Topics. =

Paris Fancies in Fall Fashions

cambric blouse. The pleated skirt just cleared the'ground, and had a narrow embroidered trimming down. the front. White alpaca and Tussore have also been used by the leading tailors, and here again does the pleated skirt just clear the ground. This skirt is certainly the most general for morning wear and can look very well in thin serges or flannels. With this the short bolero is admirable, worn, of course, over a skirt, the best skirts being of white cambric or lawn, with linen colTars and cuffs, unstiffened and softened by dainty embroidery. . The colored bolero is already a feature; it is a most useful addit;on to our summer frocks. For instance, I have seen a frock of black chiffon voile worn with a bolero of wide khlack and white striped velvet, the sleeves turned back above the elbow with black velvet, with revers of the same, bordered with green and gold embroidery. . Bright green and bright orange panne and taffeta, and Tussores, are the favorite shades and fabrics for this new bolero, which is often made with tiny, pleated frills, admirably suited to thin women. L - Some of the Viennese clothes are made up with the corselet skirt. heavily braided, and the short bolero also braided to match. A Capes are worn in much variety, and the paletot also forms a useful wrap for the moment. The old-fashioned “cress-over” fagtening at the back With a big rosette, is a pretty idea, and in velvet or silk is admirable for casino wear. - The most elaborate toilettes show the short shoulder and tight sleeves with full graceful skirts.

Waists for Fall and Winter

™0 KEEP women of ever- ~ changing fancy from growing bored with the shirt waist, even at its best, evé&l ery season shows a charm- . ing variety of new designs and new material adapted to to good old common-sense garment. And, so that the waist is left loose over the bust, shoulders and arms, the girth is none too snug, and it is easy to put on and comfortable to keep on, endless variations can be sprung without a murmur. & ; ' ~ The prettiest of the shadeg this fall are shown in the Quaker, the sailor and the surplice style, all built on shirt waist lines, all simple, washable and adjusted to the athletic figure of the day. These waists are worn with any sort of short skirt—tweed, homespun, hopsack, cheviot, storm serge or Burlingham cloth. If or smooth cloth, the skirt harmonizes in coloy;. if of rough, the color is not considered. As to colors, the first restriction bars out white, that is all white, which has reached the atrophy of an over successful whim. In cottons, all the prettiest and newest are dotted or striped with color or have a broche. figure or are checked with blocks of color. Cotton cheviot is wusually striped and madras has the broche effect. : The cotton and wool cheviot looks exactly like the all cotton, except that

Stocked Up On Prayers. One little girl that I know of is soO sleepy when she starts for bed that it is occasionally hard work for her to make up.her mind to finish the good night prayer. A few nights ago she dropped her head upon the pillows earlier than usual. She wasn’t very sleepy and at once began to dash off a prayer in refreshing style. The first prayer over, along came another one and still a-third. About this time her mother, surprised at the turn proceedings had taken, asked the little one what she meant by so many prayers. “Why,” explained the little girl, “I'm going to say 12 prayers, now I'm awake, and then I can go two weeks without saying one.”—Lowelil Courier. . .

| Louis' XVI. modes are still daily gain* f‘ing favor; whether we shall tire of them or really take kindly to ti#e }nipped-in appearance of the short I'shoulder, I do not yet know. When it 3is carried out by the real artists, who ’can . make . necessary modifications suited to the individual woman, withlout apparent alteration, it is, without !doubt, extremely effective, but for the 'majority such a complete revolution of lfashion is somewhat dangerous. This also applies to the Princess frock, iWhichf will be a decided feature of the | coming modes. : - | It is strange that we should use the lqueer velvet and silk buttons V_vhich have been out of date for so many [‘ years, but we have begun to realize lthat nothing looks dowdy in the hands of the expert. It is only when difficult 'styles are copied by the million that fincongruity arises. ‘lt is well to remember that the Princess robe suits ivery few figures; to be a success it ‘must bé most deftly draped, and cut with real “cunning,” as the Americans ‘would say. . } Gray—a curious smoke gray—has become the craze among Americans, and gray astrachan will be a popular fur during the coming winter, second only to Russian sable and ermine. Then we shall use a great deal of fur edging as trimming, and this is in some measure due to the revival of the Princess robe, and velvet buttons. A good many fringes have been observed at Homburg, especially on the Tussore wraps and coats of kimona shape. Eastern embroideries will be a noticeable feature of evening dress, and among the fabrics used we shall still see shaded mousseline de soie, taffeta changeant and satins, while many will be glad to know that the old-fashioned ‘peau de soie and moire antique will be revived. Vieux rose of the most vivid shade will be one of the favorite colors for evening wear. Greens, yellows, ' blues, from the brightest Rickett shade ‘to the palest corn-flower tint, and gray will be almost as popular for night as for day wear. ' Another item of interest is that petl ticoats are getting more elaborate, but

CABINET OFFICER ILL. Serious Condition of Postmaster Gen- - eral Payne Caused by : Heart Trouble. Washington, Oct. 1. — Postmaster General Henry C. Payne is seriously ill at his apartments at the Hotel Arlington, here. Marked symptoms of heart trouble have developed and his condition became s% serious during the day as to cause grave concern ' Washington, Oct. I.—The condition of Postmaster - General Payne, whose serious illness was announced Thursday night, continues extremely grave. Thefe were times during the day, notably in the early morning and late in the afternoon, when the attending physicians believed the end was near at hand, but the patient responded to the heroic reinedies applied and seemed to regain some of the lost ground. Friday night at about eight o’clock Mr. Payne fell {nto a restful sleep, which continued for some time. The doctors regarded this as encouraging for a peaceful night. Several bulletins were issued by the physicians during the day and all of them indicated the critical conditicn of ‘the patient. The greatest cause of alarm was the feebleness of the heart action and it was found necessary to administer saline solution 'and nitro-glycerine to stimulate that organ. Only moderately-sized doses were given, however, and in each case the response was gratifying. The most hopeful sign of the case is the fact that although his stomach always has been a weak spot with him he has been able to retain the nourishment given him. : Dr. William Osler, the heart special-. ist and diagnostician of Baltimere, was brought into the case Friday evening. He remained for about an hour sand joined the other physicians in signing the seven o’clock bulletin. Dr. Oslgr said that while Mr. Payne’s condition was critical, he had hopes that with a restful night he would show improvement. At the same time, he added, the case was like a “tip in the balance—it might go one way or the other.” Everywhere in official circles to-day the deepest corncern and solicitude was manifested in the outcome. The president is being kept constantly advised during the day and both he and Mrs. Roosevelt have called in person during the day and evening.

ONE OF THE FINEST. The Battleship Connscticut, Just " Launched, Will Be One of the World’s Greatest War Vessels. . New York, Sept. 30.—Although successfully launched on Thursday, the battleship Connecticut did not have her bottle of wine broken by Miss Alice B. Welles, who had been selected as sponsor for the ship. She threw the bottle at the bows as the ship began to move off the ways, but it failed to break when it struck the vessel’s side. Secretary of the Navy Morton and Rear Admiral Rodgers stood beside Miss Welles. Rear Admiral Rodgers attempted to grasp the bottle as it rebounded, but failed, and the ship was moving off into the water when aiworkman on the deck seized the string that held the bottle and dashed the gldss receptacle of the champagne -against the side of the ship, shattering it to pieces, to the relief of the superstitious. The Connecticut is a sister ship of the Louisiana, -and’ both vessels were authorized by an act of congress in 1902, The Connecticut was built in a government yard and under government supervision, while the Louisiana was built by a private ship-building firm at Newport News, Va. The construction of: both skips has been followed with keen interest, ,as it was recognized that it was a test of the government’s ability to cope with private enterprise. Much depended or® this competition of construction, for if the Connecticut is completed before-the Louisiana, then most of the government’s shipbuilding will be done by the latter, and it is expected the New York navy yard will be the shipbuilding center for government work. The Connecticut, when finished. will be the finest and most powerful boat in the American navy and will rank with the most powerful battleships of the navies of other nations. °.

COLLIDE ON A CURVE. Trains Come Together Near Knoxville, Tenn., and Sixty-six Persons Are Killed. - Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 26.—Sixty-six persons were killed andgl2s injured (many of whom will die) in a head on collision on the Southern railway 19 miles east of this city at 10:18 Saturday morning. The engineer of the westbound train, so investigation shows, was directly responsible for the disaster. He deliberately disobeyed orders. The crash came on a sharp curve, between high banks. - The west-bound train was a heavy one, it carrying the sleepers from the east for Knoxville, Chattanooga and other southern cities. The east-bound train was lighter, consisting of day coaches and chair cars. It was going 30 miles an hour, the other 40. The heavy train crashed into the lighter one with the force of a giant missile hurled from a catapult. =

TO KEEP OFF MOSQUITOES Pyrethram Powder Byrned on Livs . Coals Will Be Found - : _ Effective. | KRR - Anyone who is ill with malaria or yellow fever should be carefully protected from mosquitoes, for, should a person be bitten by an anopheles, the malarial -mosquito,. or stegomyla fasciata, the yellow fever mosquito, at this time, there would be great’danger that the insects might fly av?;_ay and bite-some one else and thus spread the disease, says Popular Science Monthly. _Screens for both doors: and ‘windows form the best protection against mosquitoes at all times; but it often happens that the insects get into our houses, even though they are thoroughIy screened, generally through- somsa | door or wirdow that has been left open by mistake, or they may gain an entrance by coming down an unhsed chimney if the flue is allowed to remain open during the summer time. A house or a room may be-cleared of mosquitoes by burning pyrethrum powder and allowing the®smoke, which i 3 not at.all offensive to most people, thoroughly fill the room that is under treatment. This smoke Kkills or so stupefies the insects that they will-not bite. - i . ~ Pyrethrum’ powder is _a preparation | -of .the plant pyrethrum roseum, and i3s3 sometimes sold as Persian insect pow‘der or Dalmation powder; it can bha ‘bought at any drug store for abour 33 ‘cents. a pound.

DIDN'T TOUCH THE DOG. Supposed Owner Is Threatened, But the Animal Wasn’t Dis- - ) turbed. --Placid but stern, a brindled bulidog sat in a ‘bus. In the seat by his sids was an elderly gentleman.

The conductor, naturally choleric, like all his colleagues, grew purple with rage. *Remove that dog inStantly!” he shouted to the ?assenger. who, perfectly undisturbed, 'said: “Certainly -not.” “Then get out and take the dog with you.” “By mno means.” “I shall throw the dog out myself.” “Do so.” But the conductor did not, having caught 4he eye of the bulldog, who was beginning’ to sho&zinterest in the proceedings. “I shall call the police,” the conductor ‘went on. “If youlike.” The policeman came. “Monsieur is surely aware,” he began amiably, “that dogs are not allowed in omnibuses?” “I dare say they are not,” the placid elderly gentieman replied. “I request you to remove that dog.” “Most certainly not.” I shall then take out a summions against yvou. Kindly give me your name and address.” “With pleasure, if you wish it. Buton what ground will you summon me, may I ask?” *This is too much. You are defying the law. You will be summoned for bringing a bulldog into an omnibus.” “I fancy not. Why did you not explain before? ‘That is not my bulldog, and I have not the least idea why it sits beside me,” said the elderly gentleman, sweetly. At this the fury of conductor and policeman grew almost inarticulate. While they were strugglirrg to express their feelings, another man in the omnibus got up suddenly, whistled, jumped out, and the bulldog followed him. The rest of the passengers, delayed a haif an hour, hardly appreciated the joke. :
