THE MORAL OF IT.
I AVe may moralize as mUch fe we J;
please about pain ; but the feet Is,
that we don't like it while it lasts,
and that we want to get rid of It as
.soon as wn.fcether caused by
rheumatism, QUt, disordered liver,
weak nerves, jrregular kidneys, bad
, , blood, or anythipg e)ge that is just
i the reverse of what it should be, the
sooner it "far out of the system the
happier we art! Whether pahi is ,,
the result cJrAprudehca or of acd-'
"dent, oj" s jsepts i punishment for
our sins, may.be a nice question for
the philosophers to argue; but peo
ple who are; suffering want first to
be rid pf tte'"rjfcuh,'after which those
. whoarefpRdfjmentmayargue
; the matter to iheir hearts' content
' Above all theory, argument and
nhilosophY. 'tfon'ies the delightful
tact that $RpipV Iron Bitters
drives pain away. Sufferers run no
risk in trying this medicine, the only
compound 'containing iron which
carries n Riishlef with it. r Those

"I shall do exactly as I am bid," said
Lord Grfcyton, a handsome, florid, mus
cular young'-'mau, strong as a horse,
buoyant as a balloon, Just back after a
self-imposed exile' of five years in India
with big gajne; t'but tell me of all
these confounded cautions again. I did
a lot of dancing of various kinds years
ago, before I went after the tigers"
and he laughed as mingled memories
of Mayfair and the Lotus Club swam
back to him--"and I've tried both the
Corroboree and the Salonga; but 'pon
honor I' never danced with a lunatic
girl yet." ' v
"Are you quite sure of that?" said
the Doctor grimly;' '"they are to be met
with butaidft. Cops wood, I can tell you.
However, listen; Jfce rule is simple. Ba
civil and do't pontradict If old Crack

if he can; if he can't he'll make a false
move and "call' checkmate,' and you

ton as. he completed an elaborate dress
ing, ".beginning my first season after
five yean by dancing with a lot of lu
natics. Hope they won't wear straw
in their hair; if they do I shall bolt to
the Congletons dance."
He had " m"ahy'slrange adventures
that evening ai' he strolled about the
pretty ball-room at the Copswood pri
vate asylum. - He was duly defeated
at chess by the venerable Crackton,
who deliberately slid back a captured
queen on . the board, and performed
prodigies of valor with her. He sym
pathized with the gentleman who had
swallowed a . crocodile, and be noticed
the pale cadaverous man who amused
himself by counting the lights on each
side of the room and singing softly to
himself, "Sorry I can't admit it!" He
- had been an Acrostic) Editor once upon
a time.1 He noticed the fussy little
man, with 'a pale-blue shaven face, who
wanted ; to ' stage-mauae the sixteen
Lancers, aid who niteously entreated
the dancers to "go Wk over all that
again, please, and, try and get it crisp
er;" aqd the erratic . journalist who
wrote paragraphs, on his shirt-cuffs,
and many other strange, folks that
passed by in the motley pageant of un
settled reasons.' .
' "There's King Lear," whispered the
Doctor, as 'a very' foolish, fond old
man, fourscore and upward," passed
them ' muttering of ''Brighton A's;"
"you know who- he Was?" and he whis.
pered a ' name in Grayton's ear that
made that nobleman w'htstle softly.
' "And are there any Ophelias, 'whose
young maid's' wits should be as mortal
as an old man's lifer asked Grayton,
showing that he knew his Shakspeare
as well as the Doctor. '
"Yes, but we keep their secreta.
Now go and dance;" and the Doctor
took King Lear oft for a cup of coffee.
It was a sad, weird sight, altogether,
and as Grayton watched it, it reminded
him of Kaulbach's "Dance of Death,"
and he felt oddly morbid as he thought

that rare delicate olivo color one sees
in the South, Vith the skin of so line a
texture that the red flush springs up
through the vein-tracery at a moment'8
excitement; the large brown eyes wore
soft and dreamy, the chiseled mouth
was half parted, and the dark-brown
hair, looking 'bfncV s flight, was worn
Greek fashlotrclose to the head, swoop
ing in undulating lines' past the tiny
rosy-tipped ears. ' She was seated on a
fow sofa, carelessly 'Clasping one knee
with both hands; " She 'wore a simple
white frock, Just mysteriously frilled
round the little white column of a
throat, and a great black-red rose nes
tled in her breast One little high
arched foot, in ' peach-colored netted
silk, kept swinging to the music. No
one seemed to talk to her exoept the
Doctor, who smiled pleasantly as he
passed and said something to which
she answered with a nod.
"Ophelia at last," said Grayton to
himself; and in melancholy vein wished
he were Hamlet, and could lie at her
feet and watch the play.
" 'Poor Ojphcliat uividod from herself
and her fair judgment!' " (the quota
tion was irresistible). "I wonder what
sent her here some brute of a man, or
a soldier-lover killed at Kassassin.
Gracious! I hope this terrible Meg
Merrilles is not going to ask me to
dance!" and he movedaway, as he saw
a wild-eyed woman bearing down upon J
mm, to a seat somewnat nearer to ue
pale girl with the black-red rose.
For a time he watched her; then he
tried to magnetize hor. At last thoir
eves met; be stared her full in the face.
Sne never shrank from his look, only a
sort of pitying light seemed to glow in
the sorrowful eyes. A moment passed
and then she rose quietly and with per
fect self-possessed grace walked over
to him to his intense astonishment sat
down quietly by his side, and said in a
oft musical voice:
"You seem sad to night; I am very
sorry.'? '
For a moment ho was tongue-tied;
then he recollected his instructions and
pulled himself together.
"Well, I think 1 was sad because you
were looking sad."
"Was I? I suppose 1 always do,
then. Of course, being here naturally
makes one feel sad. But we won't talk
of that," she added quickly. "Do you
care for dancing? 1 11 dance with you
if you like."
"Dance with your
"O yes, if you like; many of the oth
ers dance, you know." '
"How calnilv she seems to recognize
her sad state!" thought Grayton, as he
stood up and passed his arm round
fioor Ophelias's slender waist, wonder
ng how she would "jig and amble."
They were playing the "Dream-Faces"
and as they swung in undulating
rhythm to the pretty song ho felt that
few slips of sane 17 could come up to
her.
'That's right," said the Doctor, en
couragingly; "set a good example.
Means I m to be a tonic, I suppose,
thought Grayton; so he carried off
Ophelia for ah ice.
"iou dance beautifully, she said.
"No, you sit down and I'll get you the
ice; there now, there's a spoon and a
wafers now you feel comfortable, don't
you? Isn't that a lovelv valse?"
Yes, 1 m fond ot 'Dream iaces;'
the oeoole one meets in dreams are
generally vastly nicer than the real
Folks. I have many dream friends."
Have you?'' she said.looking amus
ed; "tell ruo of them."
" ell, you kuow, I think 1 m mar
ried to a druam-wife just like Gil
bert's. Princess Toto, you know, with
ber dream-husband. And she comes
to me sometimes and scolds me if I've
done anything wrong in the day; and
sometimes she's very loving, and some
times she's cross and doesn't come
near' me for weekB."
He felt as if he were telling a fairy
tale to a child.
"How charming! Do tell me more
of her. Ia she beautiful? " What is she
like?"
The fanciful conceit seemed to amuse
her, so he went on drawing pretty picU
ures of an ideal woman; then growing
unconsciously eloquent, he burst out,
"Ah, if one could only meet her alive,
what a wife she would make! A very
second self, aiding, sympathizing.help
lnz. lovihc at om-e the cheeriest of
chums and the most idolized of idols."
She had flushed a little as he spoke.
but she went on, "What a pretty pic
ture! Where did you get vour beautiful
thoughts about marriage?"
1 suppose my uream girl taught
me.
"Is she pretty?"
Grayton wondered if deliberate bare
faced compliment would be a good
tonic for a lunatic, "les, beautiful.
She has large brown eyes, wonderful
hair, a low voice, an olive oval face,
she dances .superbly, and she woars a
black-red rose in her white dress."
Ophelia looked a little frightened.
"Forgive me, 1 didn't mean to be
rudo, but she is really you arc not
angry with me?" and he laid his hand
gently on hers.
'O, no; then there was a pause.
"Come and lot me show you some ' pic
tures; I'm something of an artist my
self;" and slio led him into a long
gallery, and talked art so sensibly and
sympathetically that here, at all events,
he felt there was a very pleasant meth
od in her madness.
"Talking art" is a recognized meth
od of interchanging sympathies.
He was no bad judge of a picture;
but he preferred to affect ignorance,
and asked the stupidest questions sim
ply for the pleasure of hearing her talk.
There was a kind of innocent diirnity
about her that ' fascinated him. She
was more like a vestal virgin than a
bacchante. So the evening passed all
too quickly, till he suddenly bethought
himself that there was an important
division in the Lords that night, and
that he was bound to be a "not con
tent" before the clock struck 11, and
after that he was due at Lady Conglo
ton's dance.
""Must you go away?" she said;
"why?".
, "Well, you see, I'm ono of those
much-abused people that the Radicals
call hereditary legislators, and I am not
abolished yet; l must bo in our house
at ii. '
Of courso she could not have under
stood a word he Baid, for she murmur
ed to herself, "Poor fellow! so voung,
tooP
He rose and held his hand
out
very
"Good night; thank you, for a
charming evening." 1
"GoOd night," said Ophelia, tenderly.
"I should like a little memory of this
meeting; will you give me that rose?
I'Ve been longing for it all the evening."
"Of course I will; why dld'nt you
ask for it befpre?'.' tand she took it from
her dress and, faJte.nodU in his coat
"I shall aae ypu , again;' there will be
another dnnot? fcej-e n' How ps it
that I never saw ypii before at one," '
"This is my . Jrnt : dance here," he
baid gravely. '
Why it was that Ophelia's eyea sud
denly filled with lean he couldn't un
derstand, but she left him with a quiot
bow and went back to the dancing
room. ' "" '
"You've been enjoying yourself, I
see," safd the Doctor, as urayton came
to say good-by, "though 1 must say it
was rather selfish of both of you.1'
"Selfish! why, I did all J could for
her, poor dear girt"
"Poor! why, mj dear Lord Grayton,
she has six .thousand a year of ber
own!" '
"Dear met and what Is done with it?"
"She does what she likes with it; she
helps all the big "charities, and ahe
helps me and Copswood in particular,
and she generally does a lot of good to
our poor jpeople picks up some one
she takes a fancy to, and cheers him
up a bit She's one of my best tonics,
and this is the first ti,me I have noticed
that she never danood onoe with a pa
tient; that was your fault, you know."
"Good gracious! Then ahe isn't a
a patient herself?"
The Doctor laughed till the tears
rolled down hid jolly face. "Bless
my heart, no! That's Lady Mary Petti
grew, daughter of old Lord Polonius,
and she's just one of the cleverest and
sweetest girls In the world. I thought
you knew her."
"Not I! She came over and spoke to
me, and ''
"I see it all took you for a patient!
O this is too lovely!' and the Doctor
was positively boisterous in his merri
ment ' '
Grayton bolted to the House, and,
having duly reoorded his vote against
the bill, 'sent up from the Commons,
for chloroforming grouse instead of
shooting them,' betook himself in a
strange state of bewilderment to Lady
CongletoaV His hostess welcomed
him warmly, like the returned prodigal
that he was, and, insisted upon intro
ducing him to some pne in whom ahe
seemed to have a speoial interest
"Really a delightful girl. Lord Gray
ton, quit after 'your own heart de
voted to art and philanthropy, you
know." " """'
Grayton was too full of thought ' to
protest so ' submitted, meekly. What
were girls to bjm just then? He was
thinking oyer Copswood as his hostess
took his arm, and they set out on a pil
grimage. ,-"
"Ahl here she. is! Lady Mary Petti
grew, Lord Grayton. I'm sure you
two will get along capitallv," and ner
lady ship' WW off leaving (irayton star
ing vaguely-at his fascinating lunatic.
Lady Miry-Cpuld hardiy suppress a

his button-holer
"How how did you get out?" she
asked awkwardly.
"I never was wt. Lady Mary; the fact
is, I'm afraid there baa been a little
mistake, on. both, sides. I only found
out from, the doctor as I left that you
weren't a-".
She put her feathery fjo Up with a

brought you there?"
"Curiosity; anyou?"
"I often go there and try to do somo

There was a little pause as he looked
at her with his frank, kindly eyes.
"Let us forget" and forgive. Lady
Mary; after all ypu wore very good to
poor Hamlet." , r , r
"And you were, very nice and kind to

Some of the conclusions of science '
would indeed be appnUing but for their
practical harmlessness. Thus, geolo -gists
assert that if the continents and
the bottom of the ocean were graded
down to a . uniform level the whole !
world would be covered with water a
mile deep", so'muoh greater is the de
pression of the ocean bed than the ele
vation of the existing land.
A balloon with an electric propellor,

electric apparatus allowed of four
speeds of the propellor, from 60 to 180
turns per minute, and the aeronauts
proved that they could otitspeed and
breast tlx wind as well as steer Jtbe

quiries h to his health by saying, UI
am quite well, as you see, in spite of
the weight of 80 years." He has white
hair anil heard, but a florid aspect and
robust form. He is still a handsome
man, with kind and courteous 'man
nrs. In the Opinion of Physirlini,
teeth that are becoming defective or are in
sufficiently cleansed, infect the food and
unfit it for the digestive process. Health,
thenfore, as well as personal attractiveness

pure in composition, agreeable in flavor,
prompt and effective in its purifying action,
and economic, since only a few drops upon
the brush are needed at a time. The popu
larity of this sterling preparation ii basad
upon long tested and professionally recog
nized merit.
