Thet1 his mind leaves these old scenes, and <mce mob-. turns to the business on banti—the strange affair that causes him to part from his wife at the fonda and plunges into the amazing depths of the seepore town. Fortunately Doctor Jack is at home here—be has threaded every one of Val- pareiso's canes in the daytitne,and knows just where his cure lies. Presently ho emerges from tbe narrow street, to Ilud Linaself upon one better Wilted, where there am many pedes- trtans of all classes and nations. Here gangs of sailors reel along, shouting theer national airs, for under the exciting cir- amen:mom the alquazils are prone to wink at any ordinary disturbance of the peace. Valparaiso contains so many rough elements, and is in euch a prime condi- tien for a, riot that the cautious Intend.- ente, or chief of police, has issued orders to hLs men to wink at small disorders. Along this tboroughfare the American striaes for some ten tninutes—then he stops to look around him, as if a little doubtful. "Passed the calle, I reckora.—anyhow, I don't remember seeing yonder barracks the time I came out of that same street and turned in the quarter I've just come from Let rue go back and see—here's a strent. and I honestly believe it's the one —isa't that a name rudely painted on the glass of the bliuking street -lamp? Wait until it flares up again, poor thing —h! new we have it. Cr7lIe los Angeles. Bless ray soul, the street of the angels —well, judging from the looks, I should say their visits in this section are few and far hettveen." Standing there a minute, he takes a survey of the street; although it does not appear tn be a thoroughfare, it is fairly lighted, and he remembers that quite a nurnbee of what are called palaces in a South Amerienn city can be found in this Little does Doctor Jack imagine what stramee events lie before him as he stands foe a minute upon the threshold of his adventure and gazes down the °elle with its tsvianlireee Around hira arise the various sounds that may be heard in a Spanish town of a bulany evening—much laughter, loud talking, songs from jolly spirits passing, while from over the walls of a garden near by come the tinkling notes of a mandolin as one of Ohili's dark -eyed daughters thrtuns a national air. Doetor Jack hears, smiles, and turning his back on all this exhilaration of sounds plunges down the Calle los Angeles— • advancing to meet the strange adventure thet awaits him. Now, keeping to the left, he reaches a tree upon which a board has been nailed, forming a rade cross—it is known as such to every dweller in 'Valparaiso, and has anany a thee served as a rendezvous for lovers and. plotters. At tbe Tree of the Cross he pauses and glanoes around him. A figure whicb the body of the tree has concealed .,eudderily bobs into view, and a voice in Spanish "Good evening, senor—I have been ex- p.stoting you. Yon axe prompt." f"Are you Jose?" enor, that Is my name," bowing, aud "Si,Lek notices that he is attired . as eervents are in the families of rich Chil- "You are to lead me into the presence ef one who signs the name of Don Rafael nticardo."

"lIe tn "But,—the letter--" "I wa art myself, Keeler," again smiling, Deetor Jae% lerwe, accepting the situte, lion, "Then my intervIew must be with you." "Are you sorry, Doctor Jack?" This men is no fool—he detects the arled emotions of her voice, and knows she has entered upon the glum she plays with a. motive. As yet he cannot guees it —he is far from being couceited—ignores the fact of his fine physique and hand- some face—cares only for the love and devotion of one woman in all this wide world, and. that—his wife. At the sante time he is a gentleman, and able to meet a lady 'with compli- ments if need be. "Certainly no; lady, but surprised," be replies. "At what?" "Time so much of my secret business to this lead, to Chile, should be known to one of your sex." "Abe, perhaps 1 bave an interest in you and. your fortunes," with a bewitch- • ing look. "That, too would bo singular, lady, for, outside Of my dreams, I cannot re- member ever havieig seen, pardon me, one so lovely." She flushes and. thrills, as though his empty compliment contains the elixir of life for her. . "Then you have seen me in your dreams—you believe in souls leaving their earthly tenement during sleep and holding intercourse with other congenial company, from whom in life they may ever be separated?" "Ahl that is soneething I have never bothered my head about. I simply meant that in dreamt we often see faces, and are startled at meeting their fac-sbniles later. But senorita, I have come here, braving what danger lies upon your streets after the recent disturbances"— with an involuntary glance at his hand and the bruised knuckle—"to hear what you have to saes concerning my affairs. You will therefore pardon me if I ask you to proceed to business that I may return to the fonda." At his words a change flashes over the lovely taco of the Chili= beauty. "You are anxious to return to your wife?" she cannot help saying. "That is quite true, senorita," he re- plies, stoutly, and then adds: "You know there has been much lawlessness in Valparaiso Shine the Balinaceda party was defeated, and I am uneasy about leaving her unprotected in a common hotel." That beautiful lip curls slightly. "Ah! Dootor Jack, do not worry your- self about your wife—there is mein. Val- paraiso who :means to protect her—whose forte in life is caring for the widows." "Indeed—but Avis is no widow," with a laugh. "He means she shall be before the steamer sails oia which you expect to take passage for the grand country of Call - "The duse ho does!" exclainas Doctor Jack, ele-vating his eyebrows; "and who may this party bo who appears so solici- tions about my welfare and that of my wife?" "He is an Englishman." "Perhaps I can guess now—I had a glimpse of his fi,gure to -day, and. it re- minded me of a certain man, though I have not mentioned the faot to my wife. • Is it Lord Hackett Plympton?" "He is the man. Before you met youe wife he adored her—he lost the maid, and now he swears to win Doctor Jack's widow." "Bless me, that's cool. I'll have to keep an eye out for milord. But it was not alone to tell me this you sent rae that note?" . She elartnes her shoulders; rounded and perfection itself they are.

"That—you did not marry here—a Chili= wife would save you in this case," she says. The cat is out of the bag, and even one so dull of comprehension in such deli- cate matters as Jack Evans, M. D., can- not fail to see the drift of her meaning. Instead of giving him pleasure, the pecu- liar nature of the situation (muses a feel - inn to come over him not unlike oon- ste!rnation. He is equal to a battle royal with half a dozen men in the dark streets of a foreign city, or even an engagement with a black devil of a tore in the bull- ring at Madrid, but like most brave men feels himself at a decided disadvantage when he finds a lovely woman pitted against hhn. "Thanks, senorita; under the ciroune- stances that were out of the question. Besides, I am perfectly contented with my lot in life.; My wife—I would not be able to find her equal anywise:re," he says, proudly. "You are bardly complimentary, senor, but you express the same adrniration as Lord Hackett." "Hang his impudence—begging your pardon." "I have some doctunents to show you bearing on this matter. I presume you will examine them, Senor Jack—you who think there is only one woman in all the world who can do you a service will open your eves when you see what Marina, de los Vegos has accomplished." "Alai your name—I have heard it be- fore—where, I cannot think just now!" he says. "Perhaps one of the n.uns in the clois- ter spoke it—the Lady Superior is my friend—it * my money that endows that institution, senor. • But the papers—win you see them?" "Senorites1" bowing, "with pleasure, and thank you deeply for your kind services." "Ah it is a service—that is, &pleasure • to be of use to one so brave, so chival- rous toward my sex. Senor, you know that we ladies of Chili are like• our Spanish ancestors—we indulge in the weed—it is the common thing here. Will you allow me to roll you a cigarette while you read, and join me in a snaolse?" He smiles and acquiesces, this man who has seen strange things in his day, and does not deem it unusually odd for a lovely lady to smoke a cigarette with him—in Spain he has done the same thing with Castilian girls. All the world does not live as we do —travelers see se much they are surprised. at nothing. So the charraing Chilian senorita rolls him a cigarette with her deft fingers, and then one for herself—Doctor Jaok so deeply interested in. what he reads that he f.ails to note the fact of her particular care in making up these delicate mile, but she keeps orar eye on him the while.

Why They Are So Severe and Vow They should, lie Treated. It iS Vommouly said that a sprained joint is worse than a broken bone, and this is often tree, for in a severe sprain the injury is really greater than in a Simple fracture, The ankle is perhaps the most frequently sprained of all the joints., though, the knee, elbow and wrist are also very liable to be injured, in falls especially. A Spraiu of a joint varies greatly in severity. It may consist of a simple wremen without tbe tearing of any cff the ligatneute, or it may be a more ex. tensive injury, stopping just short of a dislocation. In a moderately severe eafe, one et more of the ligaments of the joint will be torn slightly, or possibly completely egress, The rneenbraue beneath the lig- aments, which retains the lubricating fluid of the loint, will be ruptured, per- mitting the escape of more or less of this told into the parts about, and giv- ing rise sometimes to a vousiderable Swelling. This swelling may be increas- ed, aleo by an effusion of fluid into the joint, especially if inflammation sets in, and finally there is usually a slight or even sometimes a quite pronounced es- cape of blood into the tissues, and this, gradually working to the surface, ap- pears as a black and blue stain. in more uvere cases the tendons paste Ing over the joint and attaehing the muscles which move it to the bones may eufeer considerable deenage. or one or them may he broken or torn front its ate taehment, Lehigh% with it a sliver of bone, Where to much harm has been done to all the parte—bones, ligaments, tendons and museles—it is easy to un- derstand that much paiu Will result and that the eure will be tedious. Irt the treatment of a sprain the first thing to be aimed at is to relieve pain and prevent inflammation, then to lave,: healing of the torn structures, aud ufter that to restore the use a the limb. The first of these objects is wont- pliebed by absolute rest of the injured part, tho limb tieing reieed, and by had nd opium witelt, it spirit lotion, or emit other loceil applications as the physician may prescribe. Swelling inert:Nolte(' in it measure and pain is sometimes re- lieved by firm bandaging with a tin- nel banduge. Whin the swelling, heat and pain •e, the limb should not be ueed too soon, but should be brought gradu- ally back to health by cold douching, dry rubbing in a direction toward the body awl passive motion. it is come - times necessary in very severe Cases to treat the spraiu by means of splints, ex- actly ft$ if it were it fracture or disloca- tion. --Youth's Companion. HER FACE HER FORTUNE. ----- The California Gum Girl Who Became the Wife of a Wealthy Spaniard. itt tbe rich and beautiful Senora Ca- brero, wife of the wealthy Spaniard Don Fernandez Cabrera of the City of Mexico, the people of San Francisco were recently astonished to discover the person of Marion Nolan, the pretty gum girl who was so much admired during the Midwinter fair of three years ago. The story of her evolution is a romance In real life. As the short skirted, pretty gum girl she treated a local sensation. Her portrait was made the traaemark of the gum company, and flaring posters dis- played her pictures everywhere. The second stage of the evolution came when California proposed to erect a statue that should tyaify the magnificent woman- hood of the state. A model was wanted, and tbus was developed a beauty contest. Photographs and measurements were sought and numerously received. The fairest of the fair among California beau- ties were represented. Marion Nolan's pictures were among the nuro ben When the contest narrowed down to a Baal choice, it was found that the gum girl bad won, and she was hailed as "the Cali- fornia Venus." Next she went on the stage and became the queen of the ballet, and while still be - MUZZLED DUCKS. Not Because They Might Bite, but to Si. lenec Their Ouneicing. A baggage mau on the Santa Fe wile runs iuto Kansas City frotu out in tho western part of Mutsu has lost lots of sleep. It is doubtful if be can ever catch up with it. lie leaves Hutchinson tit night and reaches Kansas City in the morning. Nearly every nigbt he brings in his ear two or three coops of live do- mestic; ducks. During the night, when he has no baggage to deliver at small stations, it has bean bis habit and prior - lege to lie down on an improvised couch and doze. With the advent of the ducks the dozing stopped. The almost constant quacking of the ducks, who could not understand their strange environment, would not permit of sleep. For many nights as he lay awake be planned relief. He thought of strangling the ducks or chloroforming them. But neither expedient seemed good. Ono night a bright idea came to Mite. After he had put it into execution the ducks were silent. The next night be had two coops of unusually vociferous ducks. As soon as it came time for sleep he wrenched a slat from one of the coops, reached in and pulled out a duck. From his pocket be took a small rubber band, which be slipped over the duck's bill just back of the nostrils. The duok tried to quack, but the rubber band, while it stretched a little, would not permit the duck to open its bill far enough to use its tongue. Ouly a murmur came from it. One by one the ducks were muzzled, and the baggage man rested comforta- bly. The commission men were surprised next morning when they received a lot of ducks with rubber bands around their bills, mid when the banes were re- moved the shouts of protest from the ducks were deafening.—Hansas City Star. NURSE MORRIS' SECRET rxrunis Hoy SHE SOES. 11101111ERS' LIVES. Tho critical Time et Maternity arid the Methods of a Fainnua linrile to Restore the Mother's Strength.

For twenty years she has been recognized as the best and, most successful nurse in confinement cases, and over three hundred, happy mothers ean testify to her skillful nursing and care. Always engaged months ahead, she has bad to deoline lunulreds of pressing and pleading ap- plications for her services. She has Made a specialty of confinement oases, and has made so high a, reputation in this city that her engagement, in all casesos taken as a sure sign of the mother's speedy recovery. Urs. Xorris was a nurse in Englante before she came TO America, and silt was leer mother and. her mother's mother before her. When asked once by a leading physician the secret of her great success en treating mothers in continement cases, she said she used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo- pie in such eases, as they build up Ow mother more quickly and surely Quist any other medicine the has ever used, Mrs. Morris was seen at her pretty little home on Fourteenth street, and when, asked reit-fueling the use of these pills la her profession, she ettici z nte have used Dr, WilliamsPink Pills for Pale People since they were put on the market.
