OUTWITTING FATE. Mrs. Bentham was going on a journey a.nd had refused to let Mr. Bentham ac- company her. It was in vamn. he urged, argued, coaxed or commanded ; his wife insisted. that he should remain at home until at the expiration of one week, when he would be at liberty to follow her.

"I never want to put all my eggs in one basket, and I am not sure, Edward, that it would not be better to leave both children with you." "No, thanks," said. Edward hurriedly, "that would hardly be a fair division. If Katie had one of her nightmares it would require more skill than I laave to manage "But you always dose her. I'm sure I always dependon you. Bat she is not likely to have any more of those. I think I will take her with me -you see that by going in. installments as it were, there • will at least be one parent left to bring up the children."

She remembered that in packing she had brought nearly everything of her husband's and of Johnny's with her, and if the weather changedthey; might need other elothes. And there was absolutely nothing to eat in the house, but of course they could go to a restaurant for their meals. Somehow her disposal of fate did not seem So Glover, looked at in the night, by the light of a railroad lamp. If only Edward were goieg to meet her the next day ! She fell at last into a troubled slumber, in which she dreamed that she was the `last of . her family, when sho was roused by the porter who held a cup of hot coffee between the folds of the cur- tains. "1 must give him a quarter, " she mus - a. as she drank the welcome draught; "I wonder if he mistakes me for the wife of an official of the road, or does he give every woman travelling alone the same attention 2" Then she wakened Katie, who yawned and said "papa" before she had opened her eyes, and. when. the porter came she gave him the empty cup with a quarter in it. "The gentleman who requisitioned me to fetch it, madam, den ands a dollar for the obligation," said the a erten "What an imposition 1" oried Mrs. Bentham; "a dollar for a cup of coffee It is an outrage. Besides, I did not order it, and will not pay it, so there," and, her voice wavered and indignant tears atood in her eyes., "If my husband were here you would not dm.% to overcharge me in this manner 1" "1 can fotch the gentleman instanter- ly," suggested the porter, and Mrs. Bent- ham said angrily that she would see him as soon as she was dressed. "What is it Anna?" asked a familiar voice, and Mr. Bentham, leading johnny, appeared on the scene, both looking like culprits. , "Edward !" screamed his wife, "you. blessed darling, where did you come from? Oh, I am so thankful! Why, Edward, there was a cup of coffee sent to me and. they are now trying to charge me a dollar. 'Now, porter, who sent that coffee?" •g " The gentlemen are conversing with yoll at this moment, madame." "Edward., you wretch! But I amglad you are hero. So is Katie.

There were two small hotels in the town, and these were taxed 10 their utmost eapaeity te aeoommodate the delayed. passengers, " After leaving Fort Wortla had fallen in with a commereial trayeiler, and at our invitatiOn two stookmen joined in a friendly game of poker. By the time we reached Chico we all felt pretty well ac- quainted and went to the same hotel to- gether. After supper we leai•ned that a dance was to be given in a hall near the edge of the town, and it was proposed that we all go down and see how the festive Texan trips ou his own soil. The dance room was it (putty affair, anll the interior was poorly lighted with oil lamps, At one exia there was a small room where drinks were sold. " When w.e arrived the demon' were holding high revel, and above the rasps of the violin we couldhear the deep bass voice of the prompter, .who made an im- posing figure as he stood on top of a. table attired in buckskin leggings, velvet jaoket and a wide -brimmed sombrero, Most of those present were Mexicans. Each man had two six-shooters in hisbelt and wore cowhide boots. The black - haired senoritas tripped over the fioor with an ease and grace that we at once admired. "There -was one dark-skinned beauty sitting alone at one end of the rodm, and without paying a ward to my companions, I crossed over and asked her for the next dance. 'With pleasure, senor,' she said, and as we eonversed I found that she was quite intelligent. At length. Conley, ono of 'the stockmen, motioned me, and as I approached indicated to me a tall Mexican glowering in the shadows who he said. had been. watching mo very olosely and was doubtless the girl's lover. I was ad- vised not to dance, but when the set ended I went back to the senorita, who arose and we both took our places on the floor. "The music had scarcely started when a shot was fired, and, the bullet whistled ducedly close to my head. This was a sign for a general fusilade, and in a mo- ment the ltraps had been broken and the room was in darkness. My little Mexican protege clung to me like a sister, and I may have done a very ungallant thing, but I .wriggled away from her, and fall- ing Rat on the floor worked. any way to the wall aaid then to the door. " Once outside, I did some of the not sprinting to the hotel that was ever done in Ohioo. The boys greeted me as I came in on the home stretch and. seemed to think the whole affair a huge joke, but nowadays, when I reflect that my friends might have met at the house next day at ten o'clock, it doesn.' b seem half so funny after all." HE WANTED TO TALK. But the Mat. Re Woke Up Was Not in the Least Bit Interested. In the waiting room of the Fort street depot the other afternoon there was a man with a satchel between his feet, who was nodding and napping. and now and then almost knocking his hat off as his head bobbed forward or back. By ancl by an old man with it long goatee and a beni,gn expression of counter:a:ace went over to him, and. slapped him on. the knee, and. said "Stranger, I feel jest like talkin' with some one. • Hey you ever been.

A Philadelphian, with more than the asttal share of vanity, has Undergone an operation to enhance her good looks, whieh may hodome as popular as that for appendieitis. The y-oung woman was af- flicted with esa's that stood out from her head and thereby marred the symnetry dear to feminine eyes. We have all seen Ibis sort of ear which nature and here- dity too often bestow on the offspring of mankind. Generally the victim goes through life with the conspiouous blemish because he or she believes 1,1 is irremeclia able, or, worse still, bemuse ignorant of the comical appearance it has, Crimin- als seldom have small, shapely ears, The inference is, that the big protuberant kiad inclieate traits of oharaoter that are bettor concealed from, human gaze.

As might be expected, it is a woman who has taken the primary step in this path to the beautiful A BEAUTIFUL MOUTH. ROW to Care for Teeth, Breath and Dentistry has reached such a pitch of perfection that though the shape of the individual tooth cannot be controlled, the generalcontour of the jaw may be regus laterl. The semi -circle of teeth can be flattened or aroh.ed ea beauty requires. The popular advice as to the:care of the teeth is too indefinite. .A. general wash- ing night and morning does not suffice to keep teeth brilliant and free from dis- colore,tion, A soft smallish brush should be used after each meal about the neeks of the teeth -there the enamel is thinnest and least intact, so that bits of food are likely to be retained. ' A decidedly stiff brush Shouldl be used to cleanse the inner side of the teeth where tartar deposits itself, and on the double teeth with their many irregulari- ties of conformation. But it is senseless to rub the smooth outer eatimel of the front teeth with bristles, when a bit'of chamois or eat linen with a little dry precipitated chalk will polish them. effectually. The "bits" should be new each time. , Silk floss should be passed frequ.ently between all the teeth but with little.pres- sere. Even in the privacy of one's own room it is not desirable to use a tooth- pick. .A. woodentoothpiek is clumsy and liable to inilame the gums. With the more delicate quill there is 'clanger of severing minute fibres of the gun. The tooth pick process results in time in a loosened molar. If a shred of food gets obstinately wedged beneath the gum it is better not to worry at it oneself, but to go to a dentist and have him with his practiced manipulation and needle-like instruments remove the particle. The greatest precaution should be taken not to loosen a tooth.' A full mouth of teeth is a great beanty ; spaces are not only =beautiful but fruitful of trouble the food continually pressing inkeeps the gums inflamed, and on the health of the gums and mucus membrane of the mouth depends to a great extent the health of the teeth. An aching tooth should. mover be borne -with. I have known a woman to cour- ageously enclare the repeated excruciat- ing toothache that attends a dying nerve without consulting a dentist. The pain. filially subsided, for goolt anli for all ; but the tootb gradually became discolored. Then, for the first time. this unlucky wo- man suspected what had happened. The pulp, the dead nerve, was removed, but the tooth never regained its clear pearly luster. If, one is troubled with dyspepsia or any gaetric disturbance the teeth bear witness to the fact, they lose their brilliancy, often become stained a dark saffron about their necks. Every pretty dyspeptic shoulcl make a point of keeping a wine- glass of water, into whichis stirred a tea- spoonful of bi-carbonate of soda by her bedside to rinse her mouth with as often as she wakes. The bi-carbonate counter- acts the effect of any "acidite" of the stomach on. the teeth. Pure castile soap may be used occasion- ally with benefit; the daily use of soap on the teeth is discouraged by the best dentists. Suds leave a deposit beneath the gums that encourage their recession. A few drops of listerine, or myrrh, or weak carbolic add and water, make an excellent mouth wash; antiseptic.; healing and: hardening the gums. The myrrh leaves an aroma as of violets in the mouth. A. handsome and fastidious wo- man of any .e.cquaintance takes internally several times it week a little pellet of rhabarb dissolved in bi-carbonate of soda and water to sweeten her breath. . The beanty of the mouth is not made complete by the rosiness and smoothness of the lips and the perfection of the teeth between; also, its size is a. minor oonsider- ation. What we demand of it is that it shall please ns ; if it pleases us we are apt to call it a " pretty " mouth. It must have either positive beauty of outline or an expression of geniality. Everybody dislikes equally a drawn m "prunes and prisms" mouth, or a lazily obtruchtnt anouth which is tbe possession generally of stupid., heavy 'people, who let their mouths pout out in pure inanity. Exact, nice, but easy enunciation. molds the mouth into dignity and beauty.
