IN THE SLEEPING CAE FROM BOSTON. The New York -and Chicago limited train, composed wholly of vestibule " sleepers" (with a subsidary baggage car and a com- fortable dining car), leaves the Grand Cen- tral station in New York, every morning at ten minutes before ten o'clock; and about three hours later it arrives at Albany, where there is itdjoined to it another sleeper (of the same vestibule taehioning), which has left Boston at 7 o'clock that morning. Then the train which has come up the valley of the Hudson, lengthened by the added oar which has come acrosi the valley of the Connecticut, starts out of the Albany sta- tion at a quarter past one o'clock on its journey up the valley of the Mohawk, and thenoe along the shores of lake Erie, and across the broad prairies of Michigan to Chicago. One afternoon is the last week in Septem- ber, when this train drew out ofl the Albany station in the teeth of a driving rain—the tail end of the equinoctial storra—there sat in the car which had come from Boston a young man of perhaps twenty-eight or thirty, solidly built, with a firm mouth, and with a pair of resolute gray eyes, which &Mitres* with his thick, brown hair. He occupied the forward section on the western side of the sleeper, and a heavy leather valise lay on the seat before him, with the October number of the Arctic Monthly tucked beneath one of its straps. A New York morning paper was held tightly in the young man's grasp. But he was not read- ing it, although he lead his glasses on. He was staring out of the window on his side, though the pane was so bespattered with rain-droas that it was scarcely possible to see even the telegraph poles at the side of the track. He had chanoed to notice the date—September 27th—and then he sudden- ly remembered that thts had bee is his wed- ding da. September 27t1 was the day she had set for them to be married; not only had the engagement been announced and many of the wedding presents received, but even thacards had been ordered. Yet here he was going wet, alone, almost at the very hour wherehe hoped to stand with her at the altar before which they Were to be made man and wife. And it was all because of a foolish quarrel. about nothing, in which both of them had been wrong,' no doubt, and for which both of them were paying the penalty. He loved her as mush as ever; and he cursed the miserable pride that had prevented his going to her once again to find out whether she did pot love him still in spite of their disagreement and their silly parting. Her figure rose before him again as he continued to gaze out of the window—in- deed it was rarely that she was not before his vision—and he saw once more the flesh of her blackayes, mid he caught again the glint of the sunlight on the coils of her black hair, and he noted again the trembling of the semative little mouth as she told him that they had made a mistake, and -that it was well that they had found it out before it was too late, and that they had best pert forever. And as the rain beat hard upon theaaindow through which the youug man_ looked as through it glase darkly seeing nothing, he wondered why he had taken his dismissal calmly. He marvelled n w that he had accepted her unjust aocusatams, and that he had not defended himself m getically. He recalled his emotion moment ot the _parting ; he felt a hot wave of indignation that sh the prett est spectacles ver seen in the re ener- at the ain the should think so meanly of him as to believe him capable of the fault with which he was charged. He knew now by the chill ckt his heart that his pride had been misplaced. He knew now that it had been his duty to char himself in her eyes then and at once. He knew now that he had restricted for the best. And it was too late, for the day had come which had been set for the wedding ; and here he was going west alone, and he did not know even where she might be—ex- cept that he and she were parted. After five years' hard work in the west, Hallett Larcom had earned a _aacation, and he had come east early in July for the first time since he had been graduated from the Havard law school. He had gone to spend a few days with a ahem -laza at Narragan- sett Pier, and there he had met Anita Ver- non, and there he had staid trail he had made her promise to marry him. She was an ophan ; a sister of the Classmate at whose house they had met. the lived in New York with an old maid aunt, Miss Mary Van Dyne, and she was spending the stammer at the Pier with her brother, Rud- olph Vernon After the lovers' quaiael that night she had left Narragansett by the earliest train the next morning, sending, back, without a word, the engagement ri he had given her but a few days before. On receipt of this, Hallett Larcom had been seiz..:c1 with a desire to rush off to New York after her, and to insist upon explaining all, and force her to lore him again as he loved her still. But his pride was strong, and he knew that he had been unjustly accused, and he did nothing. He lingered at the Pier for a week or more in hope of hearing from her ; and then he had gone back to Boston to his relatives there, forbidding them to ask questions, and indignantly de- nying that Anita Vernon was in any..wey to blame for breaking off the match. et -s5 last, cutting his vaeation short, he had started back to Denver, in the hope that hard work might bring surcease of sorrow. Until his eyes had fallen On the date of the news- paper, he h -ad not known that he was tak- ing a journey on the very day that she had set for the wedding.

Hallett Larcom had barely remarked them when they passed, and he was too absorbed by his own thoughts to pay any attention to them when they returned. One of them was an alert old lady of heady seventy, risk and cheerful, with ample gray hair and the meet wonderful bright blue eyes. The other lady was younger, scant sikty, perhaps'yet of a much more sedate appearance, as though conscious of her duty as the ohaperon of her more frivolous companion. She called the pleas- ant old lady With the curls and the smile " Miss Marlenapuyk," and the pleasant old lady called her " Mre. Hitchcock." As the two ladies resumed their seats be- hind Hallett Laroom, they resumed their con versat ion. "1 met her last year in -Washington," said Miss Marlenspuyk, " and we werel hay- ing a delicious chat, when sonie man broke in and carried her oft. That's the trouble with Waahington—it's so hard to have your talk put '• it's the city of magnificent dis- tepees and interrupted conversations. Now in Philadelphia, nobody ever interrupts anybody. That's why I like to go there ; they let me have my Bey out. You see, my mother was a PhiladelPhian, so they toler- ate me. You know in Philadelphia they hold that the Tree of Life is a family tree, and they think tbat Columbus discovered America juat to get acquainted with the B itchcock laughed lightly, but with digeity. " What a remarkable woman you are I!" she returned ; and so restless, too. You( are going now from Boston to Chicago, atid last winter you divided yourself be- tween New York and Philanelphia and Washington. I dee% believe you will be satisfied in heaven--; you will find it Ado monotonous." Oh, I shall make out, I am sure," re- sponded the old maid, cheerily. "1 have read that in my Father's house there are many mansions,' and I expect 1 shall go vis- iting eround.." Thise time Mrs. Hitchcock's laugh indi- cated that she was slightly shocked. All she said 'was, "Oh, Miss Marlenspuyk !" " You mustn't mind what I say," eadd the old lady. "1 must, talk. I'm a obis- vereational Gatling-gun—at least thet's what Rudolph Vernon called me last year. You now Rudolph Vernon, don'tyou, Mrs. Hitcheock—the brother of Anita ?" By chance these proper names fell into Hallett Larcom's ear and roueecl him from his revery. He had no desire to overhear his neighbors' conversation, but the soiled Of her name was an irresistible temptation. 1" I've met him," Mrs. Hitchcock replied. ",Anita spent part of the summer at his place at Narragansett Pier," Mies Madera- spuyk continued. "It was there that she met the man sins was going to marry ; but Pm afraid he didn't know enough to ap- preciate her, as the engagement seems to have beea broken off suddenly. She's a good girl, and ellen make a good wife some of these days ; and when I heard that she was going to marry this Larcom froin out west, somehow I had hopes that she had found a real man, and not one of the little whippelainappers we see every summer at the watering -places now:a-days—mere br il- ers, I call them." The conversation was getting person 1 ; still the man in the section in front of the speaker could not help but hear. " We must take men as we find them," said Mrs. Hitchcock philosophically. She wore black, merely edged with crape, and there was the faintest outline of a widow's cap inside her bennet. "1 wonder how it is I never foiled a man who would take me ?" returned Miss Mar- lenspuyk, with a smile and a shake of her silver-gray curls. "So do I, indeed, my dear," Mrs. Hitch- cock responded. " I have often • said I dont see how it was you never married." " Nobody axed me, sir, she said„ " the old maid returned, laughing heartily ; "and I'm not like a government contract, I can't advertise myself under the head of Pro- posals Invited."' "DO you mean to say, really, that no man ever proposed to you ?" inquired Mre, Hitchcock, with real interest. " Not one," answered Miss Marlenspuyk. "1 thought one was going to speak once, but he didn't. He was a lieutenant in my father's regiment, and he danced with me three times running at a West Point ball, just before he joined his company and went to the Mexican war. • He was killed at Chapultepec, and I lost my last *chance. I believe odds now-adays think nothing of re- fusing h7tlf a score of good (lifers before they pick the right one. I've a great mind to go forward into the dining car again, and ask Annie Vernon how many times she had to decline with thank,' as the editors say. allett LarCom started. It needed all hi self-control to prevent his turning around an1 breaking into the conversation of the two ladies behind him. If he understood what the old lady had just said, then the woman he loved was in the very same train with him. And if she were? His heart gave a bound as he realized that fortune might still favor him with another chance. A sudden gust of wind again flecked the car window with little drops of rain, and then they passed on out of the storm, and there was even a hint of sunshine at the edge of the clouds on the hill -tops acroiss the river. •i "Mies Vernon is- a pretty girl, as you say," Mrs. Hitchcock returned, "and that ' gray suit lie becoming to her. No doubt he I hiss had her share of attention." Larcom listened with an intentness ef which belch ashamed. His ears had not deceived him, then ; there WAS a Miss Ver- non in the dining our. The old lady called her Annie, and this was the name by which Rudolph Vernon's sister had been christen- ed. "Anita," was little more than a nick- name given to her by a echool-nnate, because of the black eyes and brown skin, which seemed to insist on a Spanish name. 'Yet " Vernon " was not very uncommon, and it might well be that there were other Aenie Vernons in the world besides the one he Was longing for. "And she deserved it all, no doubt," Miss Marlenspuyk responded. "She'l a bright little body. Nothing is more liad- dening than foolish gayety, I find, and so many girls now -a -days are giddy and giggl- ing. But Annie Vernon is wholesome. Yet I don't believe even she can thaw out the old couple she is travelling with." , "Who are they ?" asked Mts. Hitch- cock. "They seemed very plain people; not used to society, I thought." "His name's Carkendal," Miss Marlen- spuyk answered. "He's from Rhinebeck, or Catskill, -or somewhere up there, I be- lieve, and he's the new Second Vice -Presi- dent of the Methuselah Life Insurance Com- pany. That's the company of which Annie Vernon's father was President until he died three years ago, you know." " I remember now," said Mrs. Hitch- cock. " Mr, Carkendel ts taking his wife with him on his annual tour 'to inspect all the agencies of the Methuselah company in the West," Miss Marlenspuyk contined. "And I suppose Annie Vernon is going out to Denver with them." This last sentence Hallett Larcom did not catch; for as soon as he heard, that the Annie Vernon on that train was the (laugh- ter of the late president of the Methuselah Life Insurance Company, he knew that the woman he loved was near him. He spang to his feet and eft, the sleeper. "Dear me !' cried Mrs. Hitchcock. "That young n an jumped up so suddenly it quite startled me." "1 wonder what we said that scared him ?" Miss Marlenspuyk responded. "Un- less Pm vela much mistaken, he has been taking in our conversation intently for the last five Minutes." "Listeners never hear any good of them- selves," quoted Mrs. Hitchcock. " And rarely of other people, either," added Miss Marlenspuyk. 0 CHAPTER II. . .IN THE DINING CAR FROM NEW YORK. Hallett Larcom was resolved to see Anita Vernon again, and at once. Putting his pride in his pocket, he intended to make an urgent appeal for her forgiveness. He did not know how she would receive him, but he determined to insist on an interview, brief though it might be, and inconvenient- ly public as it must be in a crowded railway car. He knew that Mrs. Carkendal, who was Anita's aunt, did not like him, and had always been opposed to his marriage with her niece, and he decided that it would be wiser to kekep her in ignorance of his pres- ence, if this were possible. The Boston deeper had been attached to the end of the train, and when Larcom pass- ed across the vestibuled platform he found that he had to traverse three long New York and Chicago sleepers before- he came to the dining car. Even when he reached this, he had to go down a narrow passage by the aide of the kitchen and pantry be- fore he came to the broad central space where the tables were set. He was all aglow for a sight of her face again, and with the ardent desire for a reconciliation. He glanced right and left. as he passed through the train, fearing that she might have finished her luncheon and returned to her place. But when be came to the dining compartment, thee she was before him. , He dropped into the nearest vacant chair without taking his eyes from her. She was seated on the other side of the car, three tables away from him. Her place faced his, and in front of her sat Mr. and Mrs. Cark- endal, whose forbidding backs were turned toward the door though which Larcom had entered. At first she did not see him. She was looking out of the window still dotted with little drops- of ram. As he gazed, he thought he discovered a weary droop of the eyelids, and he was sure that she, was pal- er and thinaer than when they parted a few weeks b.efora at Naeragansett Pier. He saw that she had suffered from the separation, and he longed to take her in his arms again to comfort her. The new second vice-president of the Methuselah Life Insurance Company was concluding an elaborate luncheon, in which pleasant task his wife had been aiding and abetting him ; but the little food on her niece's plate was scarcely touched. Lar- com saw Mrs. Carkendal speak to Anita, evidently urging her to eat, but the girl ehook her head languidly, .still staring out of the rain -besprinkled window. Larcom could not take his eyes from her face, even when the waiter eame and stood by the sidii of his table. At last the lever , w became a ere of the attendant's presence, and wavedhim away impatiently. "1 don't want anything," he cried. Then, suddenly recalling his situation, and finding himself-aeated at a table in a dining car, he said -hastily, "011, well, you may bring me what yob.' like." " Soup ?" asked the man, a little sur- prised. i " Yes, soup," he answered ; " that will do," _A moment later the waiter had gone back to the pantry to give the order, Anita Ver- non moved uneasily, as though uncomfort- able under Larcom's direct stare. As she turned her head from the window, he was gazing at her imploringly, with the ador- ation of love in his eyes. Their glances met, and for a second they looked each other full in the face. She flushed instantly, and then she dropp- ed her glance and the color fled from her oman's Weakness A woman's reproductive organs are in the most in- tense and continuous sym- pathy with her kidneys.

His heart heat quickly, bub he continued to watch her with the same silent submission in his eyes. She broke off a bit of the roll beside her plate and (rumbled it nervousl in her fingers. The blood slowly came ba k to her face, and then deserted it again. he reached out for the glass of water b fore her, and took two or three little sip . As she set down the glass, she raised h r eyes again, and again they met his ; an this time she could not but see his appealin expression, pathetic in its self- surrende In that second glance, brief as it was, Ole recognized that he had suffered also. There was a line in his forehead she had never seen before; he aeemed worn and heart -sore. She was sorry for him. In the golden days of their summer court- ing at Narragansett Pier, when they wer often in the midst of a crowdof merr young people on the beach,. at the Casino on the ' Rocks," off yachting, or away o some excursion, he ha1 devised a littl signal whereby he could communicate hie desire to have speech with her alone, if onl* for a minute or two. Untie noticed that he had taken off his eye -glasses temporarily and hung them on the upper button of his coat, she understood that he wanted a word in her private ear • and if then she raised her hand to adjust' a °hawse hair -pin, this told him that she had seen his signal. Now when they sat apart in the dining car after the long weeks of disheartening separation, he removed his glasges, and by an almost automatic movement he hung them on the accustomed button of his coat. Apparently she was not looking in his direc- tion, but shwas somehow conscious of this ii signal. A ain the color flushed her cheeks, 3 and fled ationce, leaving them paler than before, and .hen a hesitating hand stole up to thrust ba,ck a straggling wisp of hair. MI at once hope returned to the man who Was following ,her every motion with wisqul glance, and now he made sure that she was willing that he should speak to her. The waiter brought Lareom the' soup, and was sent away impatiently. Soon ,it was apparent to the young lover that Mr. and Mrs. Carkendal had finished their repast. The waiter withdrew from their table with obvious dissatisfaction hearing in his hand the exact money needed to liquidate the bill. Seemingly the new secOnd vice-presi- dent of the Methuselah Life Insurance Company asked Anita Vernon if she were ready to return te their own oar. She nod- - ded, and rose to her feet; and than ,once more and for the fourth time, her clieeke flamed up and whitened again. 1 As it happened, the dining car had been slowly emptying itself, and a scant half- dozen passengers remained in it when Mr. and Mrs. Carkendal left their table and turned to go out4 Oddly enough the hat which Hallett Larcom had been holding on his lap for a few eeconds fell on the floor, and he had to bead down to pick it up. So far did he stoop that Mrs. Carkendal fol- lowed her husband down the aisle to the door without catching sight of -'the man to whom her niece had been engaged. Miss Vernon came after her aunt. Her hand hung by her side, and as she passed, it was seized by the young fellow who had gone down on his knees but a moment earlier. She withdrew it gently, but not before he had managed to imprint a kiss on it, and not before he had' -felt, a faint answering pressure of .her tapering fingers. (To be Continued.)

At other other times I /slept badly and had trouble- , some dreams. I lingered in this state -until last winter, when exposure to cold affeotad my kidneys and completely prostrated Me. The spring came, when my complaints were further aggravated by stomach trouble. I loathed food, and could realize tbat I was daily growing weaker. My physician's treatment would sometiahes slightly benefit me, then again I was worse than ever. .lainally, after all hope was apparently gone and a large sum of money had been thrown away for medicines that did me no good, is friend strongly advised me to try Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, two boxes of which were brought me at the begianing of the summer of 1899. I used them, and to my joy noticed improvement. I continued the use of the pills faithfully until I had taken eight boxes. I am now able to attend to my housework, feeling entirely cured.

Did you ever notice that people of very violent temper have always close -growing hair? It is a fact that every man having close -growing hair is the owner of a decided- ly bad temper. It is easy enough for me to note at a glance how a man's hair grows. „ Then I know how to handle him. Men of strong temper are generally vigor- ous, but at the same time they are not al- ways fixed in their opinions Now, the man with coarse hair is rooted to his prejudices. Coarse hair denotes obstinacy. It is not good business policy to oppose a mau whose air is eparee. The eccentric man has al- ways fine hair, and you never saw a man of cIrratic tendencies, who at the same time had a sound mind, who was not refined in his tastes. , I Fair hair indicates refinement. You may have noticed that Men engaged in intellec- tual, or especially in aasthetic pursuits, where delicacy is required, have invariably fine, luxuriant hair and beard. The same men, as a class, particularly painters, are always remarkable for their personal pecul- iarties. The brilliant, sprightly fellow has gener, ally a curly beard. If not, his hair is curly. Ie's easy to bring a smile to the face of the man whose hair is curly. He langhi whete colder natures see nothil to laugh at. , There is a great differ° ei3 between coarse hair and a hair that is harsh, though it re- quires an expert to distinguish it. For ex-, ample, a man's moustache may be as fine aa silk, and yet cannot be trained to grow inte a graceful curve. That's because the hair ba harsh. Now, people whose hair is harsh have amiable but cold natures. They are always ready to listen, but it is difficult to arouse their feelings. In men ot this' dis- position the hair of their heads is generally —in fact, almost always—of a shade darker than their beards. When the beard ie covering the entire face, the color varies from a dark shade near the roots to red, which colours the 'ends of the hair. Therms men have very rarely a good memory, they forget easily, and often leave a cane or an overcoat behind them in the barber's shop. s it Once was. When the human 'foot was first introduced to shoes it was exactly as nature had made it, strong-symmetrical-handiome.

HIS TIME HAD COMFli So thong , t a Quebec man until Dodd's Etidnev Pills cured him of Bright's Disease. Quebec, April 23—Narcisse Mangy, of 109 St. AnnelStreet, this city, considers himself an, extremely fortunate man. He lias come through the ordeal of Bright's Disease alive.

Most likely you cannot command the best that life has to give, but you can, at least, get near to it by improving whatever comes in your way. Happiness depends very little upon the vastness of one's possessions, but it does very much upon a spirit of content- ment which, coupled with willingness and ability, enables la man to get all the good possible out of hit lot. Extravagance is one of the many results of despising common things, and if you value peace of mind and selareapect, steer clear of it. Life is chiefly made up of common things whieh few, if any, can afford to treat with contempt; to do so is folly ; to use them honestly and to the best, advantage it wisdcr. - • i Discourtesy in PuNic Places.
