Montague Swank (who has just given up a ticket)—Stop where? Ticket Collector—At the pawnbro* ker's. The Point of View. This is a true story. A certain belle Was present at a certain Chopin re cital. During the "Marche Funebre," her eyes glistened and her whole at titude of rapt attention was as if the music had entranaced her very soul. Her whole face was expressive of ad miration and intense interest. When the pianist had finished, the escort of Miss "Belle" turned to her and said: "How beautiful!" To which she re plied: "Yes, indeed doesn't it fit her exquisitely in the back? How much do you suppose it cost in Paris?" Consumption Spreads in Syria. Consumptives in Syria are treated today much in the same way as the jlepers have been for the last 2,000 (years. Tuberculosis is a comparative ly recent disease among the Arabs and Syrians, but so rapidly has it spread that the natives are in great fear of it. Consequently when a member of a family is known to have the disease, toe is frequently cast out and compelled to die of exposure and want. A small hospital for consumptives has been opened at Beyrout under the direction •of Dr. Mary P. Eddy. HONEST CONFESSION A Doctor's Talk on Food.

There was the glitter of triumph In Us eyes. "This was to have been my way of escape after I killed Strang. A quarter of a mile deeper in the swamp I have a canoe." He picked op the gun and box and began forcing his way through the dense alder along the edge of the stream. "I'd like to stay and murder those dogs," he called back, "but it wouldn't be policy." For a time the crashing of their bodies through the dense growth of the swamp drowned all other sound. Five minutes later Nell stopped on the edge of a wide bog. The hounds were giving fierce tongue in the forest on their left and their nearness sent Nathaniel's hand to his pistol. Neil saw the movement and laughed. "Don't like the sound, eh?" he said. "We get used to tt on Beaver island. They're Just about at the place where they tore little Jim Schredder to pieces a few weeks back.

Cajrt. Nathaniel Plum, of Typhoon. lands secretly on Beaver stronghold of the Mormons. He is sud denly confronted by Obadiah Price, an eccentric old man and a member of the Mormon council, who tells him that he is expected. Price ignores Nat's protesta tions that he has got the wrong man, and bargains for the ammunition aboard the sloop. He binds Nat by a solemn oath to deliver a package to Franklin Pierce, president of the United States. Near Price's oabin Nat sees the frightened face of a young woman who disappears in the darkness, leaving an odor of lilacs. It develops that ram's visit to the island IS to demand settlement from the king, Strang, for the looting of his ship some Vme previously, supposedly by Mormons. Casey, the mate, has been left in charge of the sloop with orders to bombard St. James if Nat does not return within certain time, darkness, to Price the takes king's Nat in the home, and through a window he sees the king and his wives, among whom is the lady of the Ulacs, whom Price says Is the sev enth wife. Plum calls at the king's of fice, where he is warned by a young woman that his Ufe Is In danger. Strang receives Plum cordially, professes Indig nation when he hears the captain's griev ance, and promises to punish the guilty. Plum again receives warning of his dan ger. He rescues Nell, who Is being pub licly whipped. The king orders Arbor Croche, the sheriff and father of Wlnn some, the girl who warned Nat, to pur sue and kill the two men.

By the way"—he stopped a moment to wipe the water and mud from his face—" three days after they covered Schredder's bones with muck out there, the elder took Schredder's wife! She was too pretty for a fisherman." He started on, but halted suddenly with uplifted hand. No longer could they hear the baying of the dogs. "They've struck the creek!" Neil. "Listen!" After an interval of silence there came a long mournful howl. "Treed—treed or in the water, that's what the howling means. How Croche and his devils are howling now!" A curse was mingled with Neil's breath as he forced his way through the bog. Twenty rods farther on they came to a slime covered bit of water on which was floating a dugout ca noe. Immense relief replaced the anxiety in Nathaniel's face as he climbed into it At that moment he was willing to fight a hundred men for Marion's Bake, but snakes, and bogs and bloodhounds were entirely outside his pale of argument and he exhibited no hesitation in betraying this fact to his companion. For a quarter of a mile Neil forced the dugout through water viscid with slime and rotted substance before the clearer channel of the creek was reached. As they progressed the stream constantly be came deeper and more navigable until it finally began to show signs of a cur rent and a little later, under the pow erful impetus of Nell's paddle, the ca noe shot from between the dense shores into the open lake. A away Nathaniel discerned the point of foreBt beyond which the Typhoon was hidden. He pointed out the location of the ship to his companion. "You are sure there is a small boat waiting for you on the point?" asked Neil. "Yes, since early morning." Nell was absorbed in thought for some time as he drove the canoe through the tall rice grass that grew thick along the edge of the shore. "How would It be If I landed you on the point and met you tonight at Obadlah'sr* he asked suddenly.' "It Is probable that, after we get Marlon aboard your ahlp I will not return to the Island again, and it 14 |alM necee sary that I run down the coast for a couple of miles—for—" He did not finish his reason, but added "I can maka the wbo^dlsta*of, In this rice so there is no dancer of being seen.

"We can!" exclaimed Nathaniel. •nyahl*^ "It is impassible. I amswMa** Winnsome. Arbor Croche's house Is in the heart of the town and guiarded by dogs. I doubt if she would go, anyway. She has always been like a little sister to Marlon and. me and she has come to believe—something—as we da I hate to leave her." "Obadiah told me about her mother," ventured Nathaniel. "He said that some day Winnsome will be a queen." '1 knew her mother," replied Nell, as though he had not heard Na thaniel's last words.. He looked frank ly Into the other's race. "I worshipped her!" "Oh-h-h!" "From a distance," he hastened. "She was as pure as Winnsome Is now. kittle Winn looks like her. Some day she will be as beautiful.** "She Is beautiful now." "But she is a mere child. Why, It seems only a year ago that I was to ting her about on my shoulders! And —by George, that was a year before her mother died! She is sixteen now." Nathaniel laughed softly. "Tomorrow she will be making love, Nell, and before you know it she will be married and have a family of her own. I tell you she is a woman—and if you are not a fool you will take her away with Marlon." With a powerful stroke of his pad dle Nell brought the canoe in to the shore. "There!" he whispered, "You have only to cross this point to reach your boat." He stretched out his long arm and In the silence the two shook hands. "If you should happen to think of a way—that we might get Winnsome—" he added, coloring. The sudden grip of his Companion's fingers made him flinch. "We must!" said Nathaniel. He climbed ashore and watched Nell until he had disappeared in the wild rice. Then he turned into the woods. He looked at his watch and saw that it was only 2 o'clock. He was con scious of no fatigue he was not con scious of hunger. To him the whole world had suddenly opened with glo rious promise and in the still depths of the forest he felt like singing out his rejoicing. He had never stopped to ask* himself what might be the end of this passion that had overwhelmed him he lived only in the present, in the knowledge that Marion was not a wife, and that it was he whom fate had chosen for her deliverance. He reasoned nothing beyond the sweet eyes that had called upon him, that had burned their gratitude, their hope and their despair upon his soul noth ing beyond the thought that she would soon be free from the mysterious in fluence of the Mormon king and that for days and nights after that she would be on the same ship with him. He had emptied the pockets of the coat he had given Neil and now he brought forth the old letter which Obadiah had rescued from the sands. He read it over and over again as he sat for a few moments in the cool of the forest and there was no trouble in his face now. It was from a girl. He had known that girl, years ago, as Nell knew Winnsome In years of wandering he had almost forgotten her—until this letter came. It had brought many memories back to with shocking clearness. The old folk were still In the little home under the hill they received his letters they received the money he aent them each month—but they wanted him. The girl wrote with merciless candor. He had been away four years and It was time for him to return. She told him why. She wrote what they, in their loving fear of inflicting pain, would never have dared to say. At the end, in a postscript, she had asked for bis congratulations on her approaching marriage. To Nathaniel this letter had been a torment. He saw the truth as he had never seen It before—that his place was back there in Vermont, with his father and mother and that there was something unpleasant In thinking of the girl as belonging to another. But now matters had changed. The letter was a hope and inspiration to him and he smoothed it out with tender care. that What a refuge little home among the Vermont hills would maki for Mirionl He trembled at the thought and his heart sang with the promise of it as he went his way again through the thick growth of the wooda. It waa half a« hour before he came out upou the beach. Eagerly he scanned the sea. The Typhojon was nowhere in right, and tor an instant the gladnsaa that- had been in his heart gave place to a chilling fear. But the direction of the wind reassured him. Casey had probably moved be yond the jutting promontory, that swung te ike form of a ear!/'wheal from the baae of the polnt, that he might have sea room te $aso'o* soipe thing worse chin' a atfffvtraase.

Was It possible that Casey had aban doned hope of Nathaniel's return and was already lying off St James with shotted gun? -The thought ssnt. a shiver of despair through him. He passed to the opposite 'side of the point and followed it foot .by foot but there was no sign of life, no distant flash of white that might have been the canvas of the sloop Typhoon. There was only one thing for him to do—wait So he went to his hiding place of the day before and watched the Bea with straining eyes. An hour passed and his still aching vision saw no sign of sail two hours-rand the sun was falling In a blinding glare over the Wisconsin wilderness. At last he sprang to his feet with a hope less cry and stood for a few moments undecided. Should he wait until night with the hope of attracting the atten tion of Neil and joining him in his canoe or should he hasten In the di rection of St James? In the darkness he might miss Neil, unless he kept up a constant shouting, which would probably bring the Mormons down upon him if he went to St James there was a possibility of reaching Casey. He still had faith In Obadiah and he was sure that the old man would help him to reach his ship he might even assist him in his scheme of getting Marion from the island. tTO BE CONTINUED.) Where the Women Come In. Tie after tie the clerk placed before hard-to-please Percy. Red, yellow, blue, green, striped—all the colors of the rainbow. Some he liked and laid aside others he returned to the sales man. But, to Percy's great Interest, the salesman did not return all the "rejected" to the boxes whence they had come. Many he placed togethe. in one capacious tray. "Aren't you putting that back in tfc« wrong box?" exclaimed Percy, at last, his curiosity aroused, as yet another rejected was tossed into the box of failures. "Oh, no," replied the man. "We have orders, when five or six men turn down a tie, to take it out and nut it aside." "And is it then returned to the ma kers?" queried Percy. "Oh, dear, no! We sell them to la dles who come in here to buy ties foi their husbands." Didn't Like Course Dinners.

This colored woman had been brought up to put everything on the table at once, with the exception pos sibly of the dessert and did not take kindly to the course system.
