LITTLE

From this distorted trunk with a hump on the chest and one on the back rose a head too large, bat tho face had exquls'to dolicacy and an expression of singular poignancy.

Although he was 8 years old, one would have thought him 20 from his thoughtful face, his prominent forehead and his brown black eyes

BO

precociously pensive.

His father, mother and sister adored him for his affectionate ways and his extraordinary intelligence.

The physician had forbidden 'his working. but to amuse him and to change his surroundings they sent him to school, where he forced himself tojisten gravely and to retain ail that he heard.

One evening after school I saw him seated under the porch of the house against the rooms of the concierge. His mother had gone out to mako some purchases, and, his sister not yet having returned from the shop, ho found the door of the apartment locked. He was watching tho street with hungry eyes, while his expres slon indicated deep thought and mournful resignation. While I questioned him the pupils of his eyes throw observant and frightened glances at me. During the in terview his sister returned all out of breat h. "Oh, my poor Gab!" cried she. "I have kept you waiting, and you are impatient, ain't you?" "No," replied Gab, with a calm, silvery voice. "I said to myself only that porhaps you did not waut me any more and would not cotne boon. I am so sick and so trou blesome."' "Ah, yon naughty boy!" murmured the young girl, covering him with kisses and then turning her eyes tilled with tears toward me: "He is so little and intelligent. He reasons like a grown person. What a pity that ho is not strong! The doctor says if he can go to Berck this summer the salt air and tho sand baths will probably euro him. But It is far away, Berck, and it would bo expensive, but I am going to try to make enough money to take him there."

The courageous young girl worked from morning until night to make the amount necessary. She broke herself down at her machine. She folded, gathered, seamed, basted and sewed without rest. I heard tho dry, quick click of the machine late Into tho night. It sounded like a sharp ohorus of grasshoppers in the fields

Behind tho curtains of the lamplight I paw tho outline of the you tig seamstress. In the house everybody know the history of little .Gab, and the women willingly gave their work to the sister. Thoy stopped tho child oh tho landing, in the halls and court, caressing and fondling him and sending him delicacies. Ho was always shy, and he shrank from their caresses, which gave him more inquietude than pleasure he thought along time of these marks of friendship. "The lady on the top floor has given me these toys. Why has she done so, when she does not know me?" ho asked of his sister, with a keenness which gave a heart breaking understanding of the working of his brain. "His, without doubt, bccause 1 am a hunchback."

Work was plenty, and tho bank grow heavy in a dark corner of the bureau drawer. July was approaching, and preparations were already com munced for their departure. A trunk had been bought and a costume for the child, who, enchanted, talked of siothitig to his schoolmates but his trip to the seashore.

At tho last moment everything was upget by an unfortunate accident. Tho younpr wife of a clerk 0« the fifth floor had given her wedding gown to the sister to bo retrimmed ia tho prevailing fashion.

One evening in playing with tho ink bottle Gnb let it slip from his slender Honors, and its contents ran unluckily on the white satin skirt.

They did not scold him. Alas, no! The consternation In his face was too painful to see. Ill# sister stifled a cry of terror. Silently, nervously she sponged tho material and measured tho extent of tho disaster. Tho ink had outrageously spoiled eight yards of satin.

Between a loss to tho client on tho fifth floor and pity for Gab there must bo no hesitation. The clerk's wife was not rich, and her wedding dress was her only resource for fete days and occasions of ceremony. Then again tho little dressmaker was proud and did not wish the peoplo of tho house to know tho cares and sorrows: of their home. The most practical and dignified thing to do was to run to the Bon Marche and try to match the stuff.

Eight yawls at is francs a yard made a total of ltd franco a* rude breach in tho bank, a fund for tin journey.

It was finished. It would be nwassary to give up the visit for this year. The girl embraced little Gab sad went to sewing again.

The following winter they worked steadily on the first floor. Tho autumn had been rainy, and Httle Gab's health had suffered in consequence. His bones ached, he bad fever and pains In the be«d, Hie doctor examined him,s:~', his rd meanwhile, and again the ch.... to Berck as soon as the weather became warm.

From my windows I cnld look tho court into tho apart m' occupied by the family of little Gabriel, who was called "Littlo Gab,*"

Bis father was a cutter In a clothing house. Bis mother was sickly and white haired at 45 and expended all her health In household duties.

Ho was an incurable invalid. His crooked spinal column made his shoulder* rise to tho level of his eyes. His legs we slender and soft and bent under a body warped and thrown out of equilibrium Ho would not have been ablo to walk without an orthopedic corset.

Tho winter was exceptionally (lamp, and I did not meet little Gab any more on the jHiivb uf iUK-'hvn-v. The physician'bod ex-ppt..-1y tVrliddvy. vhat he go out.

From tin .- to time I saw him at the window,. His r.\.-,s 'vet* sad, sunken, and they looked farvii, wiuie his slender fingers deslKM vague ships ou the window pane. T!«. n, suddenly, n-»me in my window o1'• rvhs- him. ami anking himself spied j, In- gesture and drew tho imuuiu i't,

Ho 1 iy now the entire day stretched out on .his little bed, turning for the hundredth time the leaves of his pioture lHok, ore ho saw tho o^ean ant| the vestteis with their white sails.

Ho h.'ui not given up tho idea of his trip. "When are we going to start?" ho asked his sister, aurt wheu she 'explained t'mt they would ..*e to wait for warm weather ho fej iii'tl in his thin voice: "But I am in a hurry. I want to bo cured quick, very quick, so that I will not seo you cry any more."

Ho had looked up tho names of the towns on tho rout* and lie already knew them by heart. Ohautilly, then Clermont, Amiens, Abbeville and then the ocean— "Once we are there, I am sure my bones will hurt me no more."

In waiting he had constantly by him the large pink shell from the chimney, f*nd with his ear against its mother of pearl lining ho listened to that distant murmur of the sea that was to deliver him from all his miseries.

Toward Kaster I heard no more tho heavy rumbling of tho sewing machine. They worked no longer ou tho first floor, but I saw alight in the window far into the night, showing that somo one way watching by the bed of the sick child. "Ho is very low," tho conciergo said to me in low nes as she pressed instinctively against her skirts her sturdy, chubby faced boy. "He cannot live long. Poor child! It will be a deliverance"—

One morning I mot on the porch a narrow coffin, carried by two men and followed by the family.

Tho Doke Par Einlnrnwi.

For moro than two centuries there has always been somolwHly who, like the Duke of Cambridge, has been popularly known among his contemporaries as "tho duke" par eminence, if not invariably par excellence. Immediately after tiie restoration, George Monk, duke of Albemarle, was "tho duke" in common parlance all over the country and from his death until the death of Charles II "tho duke" was James, duke of York, who became king as James II.

Afterward th© Duke of Monmouth and the I)uke of Schomberg were eanh in turn "the duke" for a brief period, and then followed John, duke of Marlborough. For a time the Duke of Newcastle or the Duke of Argyll was "thoduko" of contemporary chroniclers, and subsequently William, Duko of Cumberland ("Billy the Butcher," as he was affectionately called in Scotland), was "the duke"—a designation which pissed from him to Frederick, duke of York, his {rrandnephew. But somehow or other, even in the Duke of York's lifetime, how r» deposed from this nominal pre-emini'ii™ by" Arthur, duko of Wellington, who for just- upon 40 years was always and everywhere '1the duke.-''

It was porhaps partly as his successor (though not his immediate successor) as commander in chief, and partly because he was on6e, practically speaking, the -only royal duke (for the Duko of Cornwall was Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cumberland was king of Hanover), that the Duke of Cambridge has been known for an equal or oven longer time as emphatically "thoduko."—London World.

By accident rather than design Mrs. O'Loary herself was encountered. She was a modest Woman, who sought no notoriety, but told her story simply. There was nothing remarkable In the facts, only In tho results. Chicago had a good many more milk cows then than now, althor^'h the present number is much la?ger than is generally supposed. It was a matter of economy In the caso of the O'Lenrys. The open prairie near by offered free "pasturage, except the slight cost of herding, shared between the different owner if the herd.

Nothing but a good conscience made her admit her part In that municipal tragedy.—Chicago Inter Ooean.

A SERIOUS AFFAIR.

It is always an inscrutable mystery to 'everybody why other people quarrel. For our own little arguments there is ulways, Of course, good, sound and sufficient reason. For the disputes of other folk the excuse appears ever absurdly inadequate. Why, for lnstanoe, young Greig and Miss Elsie Norman, both returning from India on the Bengal, should break off with amazing suddenness their engagement just as the Bengal was nearing the bay of Biscay it was not easy to see.

But they did. "And I suppose," said young Greig, with a face that looked less bronzed than usual, "that nothing I can say will alter your docislon. Your mind Is quite made up?" "It always is," declared Miss Norman.

She held tightly to the brass rail and looked away at the spot in the distance which represented Spain. It is best when quarreling with any one you havo cared for not to look at their eyes. "I particularly wish that for tho time that we shall havo to travel together we shall see as littlo of each other as possible. Wo can easily say goodhy at Plymouth." "It will not bo easy for me,"

said

Henry

Greig. "I am not used to saying goodby to any one that I—that I have"— "You should be glad of a new experience, Mr. Greig. It's a precious thing nowadays." !'You're not yourself this morningrElsie." "I wish I wero not," she exclaimed, with a sudden chango of manner, "If I wero some ono else, I shouldn't bo so unhappy. Here is Mrs. Ronton. She mustn't see my eyes. This is tho last time we shall speak to ench other. Goodby." "But, I say, Isn't there some moans"—

Elsie Norman hold out her hand. Greig pressed it, and she turned and wont below. Mrs. Ronton sank into her deck ohair carefully, as stout ladies do, and seemed gratified when the deck chair only creaked complainingly and did not give way. "Mr. Greig, pray come here at once. Miss Norman monopolizes your time to such an extent that wo poor women see nothing of you. Sit here at once and tell mo all about yourself." "It's an uninteresting subject," said Greig, pulling another deck chair to the sido of Mrs. Ronton. "Tell me a secrot then. I'm exceedingly fond of secrets. When aro you going to marry Miss Norman?" "Neyer." "Never? Of course you're both young, but. that seems a long time to wait, does itiiot? Mr. Van Straaten said"— "Van Straaten is an

Old

fool of the kind

they mako in Germany. I shall havo to ask Van Straaten not to interfere with my affairs." "His servant Hans is a queer youth. He looks after the diamond samples, I supposo." "I haven't seen Hans. But Van Straaten is the sort of old nuisance that ought to bo labeled, liko somo of the luggage, 'Not wanted on voyage.' "Ho always speaks very highly of Miss Norpinn," remarked Mrs. Renton. "Why shouldn't he?" "Precisely, She's very charming, no doubt. But you should remember that she Is only a girl, after all." "That fact has not escaped notice, Mrs. Renton."

Mrs. Renton looked complacently down tho undulating scene that her plump figure furnished and lifted first ono small foot and then tho other from under the hem of her yollow skirt. Tho number appeared to bo correct, for Mrs. Rentou, having mentally audited them, sighed with satisfaction. "There is such a thing," said tho widow confidentially, "as common sense." "I know. Cheap eau do cologne and"—"No, no. Sense—s-e-n-s-e." "I wonder where, Mrs. Renton? "It ia not for moto toll you where," answered Mrs. Renton modestly. "All that I can say is that you don't find It with young girls. At the age of, say, 80 something, now, you often find a girl, or, perhaps I should say a woman, admirably fitted to bo a companion to a sonsible man." "Tho popular prejudice," remarked Greig, "is nevertheless, oddly enough, In favor of girls 20 something." He looked up. "What In the world's the matter with Van Straaten?" •'$,

The old Germafi, with his pince ncz awry, pinching the end of his nose, was coming oxcitedly up the gangway.

Vero Is tho captain?" he screamed. "I insist. Pring mo all at once tho captain." The captain of the Bengal hurried up. In a few words of mangled English Mr. Van Straaten explained. A group of interested passengers stood around. "I talk to Miss Norman forleodle time," cried Mr. Van Straaten. "I go then to my gabin. I find there my breclous diamonds —vanished." "They can't have gone far, sir," said the captain. "They have no need to go at all. Eight t'ousand bounds' vorth all gone. I must know now yueekly who has stole them aire tty." "Aciy suspicionasked the captain. "1 am not so sure. I am not so sure." "Anybody on board seen them?" "Von person only. Mr. Greig, if yon please, cotne here. I show you ray breclous diamonds, ain't it, two days after we leave Calcutta?" "That Is so," said Greig cheerfully. "And very magnificent diamonds they were, I remember telling you that I wished one or two were mine then, so that I might give them to"—

HP stopped. "1 suppose we shall have to search all the cabins," said the captain of the Bengal. "It's a fearful nuisance, ladies and gentlemen, but it can't be helped. May we begin with yours, Mr. Greig?" "I really don't know," protested Greig, "why I should have my cabin Upset and tamed out just because"— "I desire that Mr. Grelg's cabin should be searched." said Mr. Van Straaten InUstently. "That settles it, then," said Henry Sreig carelessly. "Fire away. I'll come lown with you."

The crowd went below and stood in llMr

corridor while the examination was pro* grossing. Elsie Norman, hearing the noise, loft her'aunfe and, rather red at eyes, came forward. The captain, Mr. Van Straaten, •the chief steward and Henry Greig reappeared at the door of the cabin. The old German bore a leather case very carefully in his arms. "The diamonds have "been found," announced the captain of the Bengal seriously. W« shall not have to trouble you, ladies and gentlemen."

They were ouly ordinary folk, rather bored by the tediousness of the journey from Calcutta, and they oould not help showing a certain relish over the diversion. "Most painful affair, really." "Case found under the pillow in the berth." "Seemed such an honest fellow too." "My dear," said Mrs. Renton bitterly, "It doesn't do to tisust any ono nowadays. You nover know who's who." "But you'd think really on a P. and O steamship"— "I'm sorry for that poor Miss Norman. She was engaged to him, you know." "Oh, that's broken off quite definitely. I heard

her

telling the old German so. The

old fellow asked her what was the matter, and she told him. He was a partner of her father's, you know, and he seemed much concerned about it. You see, dear, I wasn't exactly listening, but"— "But you heard, dear—that's the main point. Come into my cabin and see my new serge dress."

They went aft, leaving Greig at the door of his cabin. He was holding the sides to prevent himself from failing. Other passengers went past his cabin, keeping carefully to tho other side of tho corridor. Not one of them spoke to him, but they all spoke to each other. "What does this mean?" cried Henry Greig. Do they all suspect me?" "Harry 1"

A soft white hand on his arm with a kindly pressure. He turned and seized it gladly. "Elsiol Aren't you, too, going to follow them?"

Tell me first What It all means." It did not take long to put the girl into possession of tho facts. Her face flamed red with indignation. "And they daro to think that you would do a thing like that?"

Well," said Greig uneasily, "they found tho things there, you see. It's circumstantial ovidence of rather an awkward kind. But I needn't tell you. Miss Norman"— "My name is still Elsie."

WSMMM

"My dear girl I I needn't tell you that I shouldn't dream of taking poor old Van Straaten's diamonds or anybody else's." "I am quite sure of that, Harry. I must Bee him about it." She repinned her straw hat with a decided air. "We two^must stand together now whatever happens." "Elsie, hadn't you bettor lot mo fight It out alone? Tho truth Is nearly sure to oonio out sooner or later, and"— "In the meantime, dear, you will have to forget our stupid quarrel of this morning. I was quite wrong." "So was I," said Greig promptly.

A man has no business to kiss a girl as sho is ascending the gangway of a P. and O. steamship. It has been done, no doubt, on more than ono occasion, but it is nearly always an act to bo condemned by right thinking peoplo who havo not had the chanco of committing the crime. Nevertheless if it is at any time to be pardoned it was in tho instance in question. "But," said the astonished Mrs. Renton to her companion, "I thought you said, my dear, that their engagement was all

off."

"She certainly said so. Why she should be so affectionate with him now after this scandalous affair goodness only knows." "Ah, my dear, girls are queer creatures."

Thero wefe a few hours of mixed feelings for Mr. Greig of tho Eastern bank. It was terrible to feel this suspicion hanging over him, to watch tho looks cast, at him by the passengers, to observe Mr. Van Straaten's almost comic appearance of injury. On tho other hand, it was delightful to feel that close to him in this time of stress as he sat on dock or strolled up and down was a cheerful young person in her very best spirits. Tho bay meanwhile sympathetically behaved in a manner quite exemplary. "I am asdonislied, my tear," said Mr. Van Straaten severely, "that you should bo friently with Mr. Greig after what has habbened alretty. I strongly advise you to give him up. You dold me you had decided"— "I've changed my mind," ehe said definitely. Women folk are not good at a lot of things, but wo do know how to change our minds."

Mr. Van Straaten lifted his hat and turned away. The old gentleman when he was a few paces off seemed agitated, so muoh so that ho had to pat his eyes gently with his scarlet handkerchief. He called to one of the sailors: "Dell my man Hana to come up instantly." f^J'

Much commotion soon after the' appear anco of the stolid faced Hans. A rush toward that part of tho ship by all the passengers on deck. Swift talking in German. Considerable temper on the part of Mr. Van Straaten. Penitent words from Hans. "Mr. Greig," cried the bid German, "come here directly. And Miss Norman. Listen to this horreeble man of mine. I haf lost also my hatbox. I asked him where it is, and he replies that ho think be blacc it by mistake in Mr. Greig's gabIn. Is it not so, Hans?"

Sorrowful acknowledgment from the frofusely penitent Hans. Mr. Van Straaten raised his voice: "Then I say to him, 'Is it possible that yon gareless shconndrel you biaced also by mistake the diamond box in Mr. Greig's cabin?' And he say, 'Yes.'

Quito a noisy cheering from the assembled passengers. A pressing forward to congratulate Greig, He, delighted beyond expression, turned to Elsie Norman.

You don't repent being counsel for my defense, young Portia?" "You are just the client I like." "And respecting this morning," said Greig. "Sir, I do not respect this morning. Let's look forward."

They walked forward. "Dot was a gooddrickof mine," said Mr. Van Straaten as he watched them. He wiped his glasses carefully. "I knew it would answer, I was once, along time ago, in love r.iineself."—Si. James Budget.

The Small Belongings of Drew. For wear with .uutrimmed bodices there are sliG^yn large, flaring collars and cuffs of dead white embroidery trimmed with batter colored Valenciennes lace. These are firetty, and as they stand laundering well really give, ia wear, their money's worth,

A belt and collar of gold braid caught with cut jet hooks and eyes are in vogue and may be warn with any dark colored or all white bodice. Tho collar is formed of gold braid a little over an inch wide, while the belt is 2 inches wide and the clasps are selected to suit the width of' each. Belts may be of silk, ribbon or leather. Seal or snake skin belts with silver buckles are liked for outing or traveling wear, and very often have bags to match put upon them, but for an elaborate waist a leather belt is not considered in good taste.

The regular belting can be gotten in any color and is most effective when its clasp is a small gold buckle elaborately carved. Young girls fancy silver buckles, upon which are engraved their monograms, but these can scarcely be spoken of as new, though they are popular. —Ladies' Home JournaL

Chio B1 aestocklng*.

The ancient belief that bluestockings were always attenuated, wore blue goggles, and that well educated women wero necessarily plain and unattractive, is receiving many rude shocks nowadays. One English paper notices with surprise that Miss Grace Ohisliolm, a young wemau of Britain who was recently made a Ph. D. by tho University of Gottingen, is remarkably handsome and artistic. The Figaro of Paris, in commenting upon Miss Phillippa Fawcett, the lady senior wrangler of England, declared her to be for a wonder extremely "chio," while in our own land such brilliant lights as Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, Mine. Alberti, Miss Evangeline Hathaway, Miss Katberine D. Blake, .Mrs. Miriam Greely, Mrs. Elizabeth Bisland Whet-more and Miss Grace Gould would be notable for their physical beauty if they had not already gained distinction by their intellectuality. Dr. Sargent, it is said, remarks that the American college women are the finest specimens of physical beauty extant, and he probably is as good an authority on the subject as we can have.

An Appeal to the Fair Sex. Mrs. Lemon, the honorary secretary of the Society For the Protection of Birds, asks me to publish a protest against the wearing of bird of paradise feathers in hats and bonnets. Mrs. Lemon urges that unless a check is placed upon the ruthless destruction of this beautiful tropical bird to pander to the caprices of fashion it will soon be exterminated., Tho society therefore entreats civilized women to do what they can to prevent this by refusing to purchase "anything purporting to have once belonged to a bird of paradise." I rather suspect that the bulk of the brilliant plumes so described by the milliners have never belonged to a bird of paradise. Still I sympathize with the society's efforts to stop the slaughter of birds for the adornment of feminine headgear, and so I commend Mrs. Lemon's appeal to my lady readers.—Londpn Truth.

Only a few years ago even the medical profession scouted the idea that young girls could suffer from the misery of uterus, troubles.

That form of disease, it was claimed, came only to married women.

r,^

When Lydia E. Pinkham first sent out the news of her great discovery, there was no lack of harsh speech from those whose practice and opinions she set at defiance.

But when young girls by the hundreds were absolutely cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, then the tongues of the traducers wero stilled, and faith was allowed to live in the hearts of the people.

Young girls are subject to this trouble. It robs theui of the buoyancy of youth. It makes all effort distasteful.

It causes retention and suppression of menses, leucorrhoea, severe headache, waxy complexion, depression, weakness, loss of appetite and interest.

Certainly mothers ought to know that these are all symptoms of the one cause of nearly all the suffering that conies to women and to save their daughters ought lo begin treatment at once.

Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound is the surest and most natural remedy for women ever compounded. It will accomplish its work with certainty.
