HIGHEST AWARD ST. LOUIS, 1904 Won at Last The lodger who occupied the upper floor was a steady elderly city clerk, of remarkable punctuality and precision. Still the tone of the homely dwelling was new to Mona, who had been accus- tomed to the aristorcratie, if narrow, nicety of her grandmother's house, or the distinction of her relatives' establish- ments. The only members of the family who bad accepted Mrs. Newburgh's grand- daughter frankly and cordially were Sir Robert and Lady Mary Everard. The rest looked on her as an interloper, an offshoot tainted by an admixture of blood that was anything but blue. Of this she was but dimly conscious. While under her grandmother's wing, she had ben received with decent civility; now, she felt keenly that she was about to al- ienate the only real friends she possess- ed—to sink from the level of the New- burgh traditions to that of struggling, almost adventurous, nobodies. Yet she did not regret the desperate step she had taken. Why, at her age, should she link herself for a long life to a thralldom that would irk her soul ? Youth de- mands so much. It takes the friction of a life -time to teach moderation and the wisdom of compromise. To Mona, the notion of temperate lik- ing, instead of devotion to an ideal hero, and the importunate adoration of a man whom she considered commonplace and dull, was intolerable. Above all, she was Imo disenchanted with life, and love, and dreams of perfection, by St. John Lisle's conduct, that she fancied it was impos- sible the scattered fragments of imagin- ation's shiningtemple could ever be re- formed—not knowing the marvelous re- cuperative powers of time and nature. Fatigue made her sleep so profoundly that it took some moments of waking consciousness before she recognized just where she was. The sound of some rine moving reminded her that she was shar- ing Mme. Debrisay's room, and presently that lady came out fully dressed from _ behind a large Japanese screen, which converted one corner into a dressing- closst. "And how did you sleep, dear ?'' "Ob,, well; too well!" exclaimed Mona. "Well, stay where you are. I'll bring you a cup of coffee an a bit of toast, for I have a long, busy day before me. I go to Mrs. Ardell's grand establishment first, over at Kensington. I am there for four mortal hours, then 1 get a bit of food and give two private lessons in the same neighborhood, so I am obliged nes is business." • "Of course it is; do not mind me!" "My geed landlady will give you something to eat at her dinner -time, and we will have a cozy tea together when I come in." "Thank you, Deb." "You see I have taken your advice, and changed my rooms. I was just ready in time for you, my lamb; the front room is better for a sitting room." She hurried away, and returned sooner than Mona could have expected, with a fragrant cup of cafe au Tait and a slice of buttered toast. Once more she put in her head with a cheerful: "I'm off now, make yourself, comfort- able, dear; there are some bodks and a lot of 'Family Heralds' in the next room; there are splendid stories in them, they make your hair stand on end, and forget the time. Take the hand -bell if you want anything—none of the other bells will ring. Good-bye, dear." Mona dressed slowly, and went into the sitting room. It was a stormy, wet day. The rain beat against the ono large bow -window which lighted it, and which looked over a small square of grass, with a flower -bed in the middle, and a couple of trees next the railings, that divided it from the street. It was a fairly well kept front garden, tut at the present time, being strewn with dead leaves and sodden with rain, it was not a cheerful prospect. The fire had been hastily loaded with coal, and had succumbed to the load. The table cover was crook- ed; a very irregular pile of newspapers, eralde, programmes of concerts, deer - flowed an occa'1ional table; but the fur- niture was good and in good order, though extremely mixed as to style and pattern; some of it, in fact, was MUM. Debrisay's, and some her landlady's. The hand -bell evoked a tall, hard -fea- tured woman, with thick grizzled hair, a spotless cap, anal a dark print dress, "Tho fire's gone out?" she repeated, in a high-pitched tone. "I dare say madame thinks coals'1l light of theireelves; she just pitehee them on, whether there is a spark alive or not. I'll fetch a few sticks, miss." The fire burning, the hearth swept, and a few tidying touches bestowed on the room made a vast improvement. Mona threw herself into an arm -chair and tried to think whet was best to do. What pressed most upon her mind was the painful necessity of communicating with Lady Mary. She ought not to bo left in ignorance of her intentions, but would it not be well to hear first what Leslie Waring would say? Yes, she would wait. The'previous evening she had posted a few lines to the Chase, announcing her safe arrival; she might therefore post- pone her next letter for twenty-four hours. But this time, her° refusal to ratify her engagement had been read by her lover, and she quivered at the idea of the pain and snortifieation she had inflicted. He would be awfully angry. Indeed, she hoped lie would. It might help him to Mow off his grief. He would write severely; she dreaded Itis letter --but surely he would be too bitterly offend- ed to conte in person to reproach her; that possibility was unspeakably terrible. The dreary hours went slovely by --- slowly, yet fast. She could not form any Conception of what her future might be. Her powers of imagination, of conjec furls, paused, paralyzed, before the brie: tying difficulties of the present. • : She could hardly expect a letter front,: Waring till the next day. Ire What stay' ht --not very far away, in IiampaitirP- . Willi the gentleman who had bwi loll •/ • s guardian, and for whom he had a great regard. This plan was—Mona felt, rath- er than knew—opposed to his marriage with herself. She was convinced that he considered her not sufficiently well off or important to be a suitable match for his ex -ward. Ile would assist to rouse Waring's wrath against her, and would not let him lower himself by a personal interview. She strove to swallow a morsel or two of the dinner set before her; she tried to gather the sense of an agonizing tale in the London Reader, and interest her- self in the tremendous persecutions of the heroine. All in vain. Time, how- ever, was rolling on; she might soon ex- pect Mme. Debrisay. Four o'clock struck when she had gone into the bedroom to seek for some piece of fancy work (which Mnie. Debrisay infintely preferred to mending her clothes), when the sound of the front -door bell, followed by a step in the next room, made her hope that her kind hostess had returned. Going quick- ly in to greet her, she beheld Jane, the servant, in the act of lightingthe gas, while, by the wind, looking paer—stern- er than she thought he could, stood Les- lie Waring! "Good -morning," he said stiffly. "I thought I should find you in." This while Jane pulled down the blind and retired. Then he made a step for- ward to where Mona stood, motionless— her trembling hands locked together, her eyes wide -opened, gazing at hint. "Do you seriously mean what you have written here?" he asked, in a thick, un- steady voice, as he drew forth and open- ed her letter. "Yes," she said; "I do." "Then I have a right to ask the reason of this sudden change. What have I done to deserve it?" "You have deserved nothing but good and gratitude from roe," faltered Mona, sinking into a chair, for she felt her limbs unable to support her. "Then why do you desert me?" "I toId you in my leiter—the whole truth; I cannot love you as a wife ought to love." "We agreed to get over that difficulty. I hoped to win your affection if you never put you from me.

And this hero whom she had invested with all the attributes of noblest manhood, strength and tenderness, the masterful decision of a fine intellect, the gentle- ness of a knight-errant, he had shown himself to her in his true colors, and swept away the illusions which had gathered round his image in her mind forever. She said truly there was not a vestige of love in her heart for any man, nor did she believe she could ever believe in another. She did not dream of the enormous recuperative powers which youth pos- sesses. Still it was a bitter blow, that sent her reeling back frim the threshold of life, to recover as best she could her vanished hopes of truth and tenderness —respectful love, everlasting constancy. She had not completed her difficult letter, when Mme. Debrisay came in. "I am quite done up!" she cried. "Such vile weather! I will change my boots, and be with you in a minute. But I have a new pupil, so my Wednesday will be well filled at Kensington. We'll talk over everything at tea." The kindly woman's horror and amaze- ment when Mona disclosed the dreadful fact that Waring had come to answer h'er letter in person, and had gone away in sorrow and indignation, can be better imagined than described. She was too deeply affected for speech. She pushed back her chair from the table, and sat a silent image of grief. "And is there nothing to be done!" she epaculated. "Dieu des Dieuxl It was my last hope, that when he came himself and you saw him face to face, drowned in sorrow, you'd have given way. How had you the heart to refuse him again?"

Barwick, Ont., April 9.—( (Special).— That Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure Rheu- matism, or any other disease resulting from disordered Kidneys is the a cperi- ence of many of the settlers in this Rai- ey River country. The case of William John Dixon, of this place, is a fair sam- ple of the work of the great Canadian Kidney Remedy is doing. "I had Rheumatism so bad I had to use a stick to walk. I had pains in my back and right hip, and I had no comfort in sleeping.

The sons of non -laboring parents are taller and heavier than those of laboring par- ents. The heads of girls are a little rounder than those of boys and always a. little smaller. It has been found that children grow but little from the end of November to the end of March, grow tall but increase little in weight from March till August, and increase mainly in weight and little in height from Aug- ust to November.

Process Adopted in France to Neutralize Effect of Automobiles. Trance is already endowed with good roads, whereas in the United States the automobile has come as an instrument to awaken interest in the subject cf highway building, it is regarded by the French road engineer as a destructive agent of roads already good. Moving with great velocity and with closely ad- hering and sometimes metal -shod tires, the automobile sera'pe's the fine, hard surfaces like a file, surfaces which evould resist years of ordinary wagon traffic. To combat theese destructive influ- ences many of the French engineers em- ploy the tarring .process, which aids powerfully to prevent the disintegration caused by traffic and which, unless ar- rested, makes the dust nuisance acute. It has settled down to a possitive con- viction in France that hot tar applica- tions are valuable in proportion to the excellence of the surfaces upon which they are laid. When well done the tar- ring gives the effect of an asphalt pave- ment, and the foothhold on a. macadam- ixed surface is, of .course, much better than on asphalt. In a ,previous report mention was made of a city •boulevarcl in Marseilles first macadamized and then tarred. The tar was by no means smear- ed over the surface like a coat of paint. The work was done in the midst of the dry season, after the road had been care- fuly swept, and the hot liquid was work- ed with stiff brushes into the road joints, penetrating to a considerable depth. The traffic over this boulevard is in- tense and consists largely of automobiles moving at their highest speed. After two years' uveae no more dust is observ- able than would be the case with an or- dinary asphalt pavement receiving the traffic of innumerable unpalvod streets. The surface is intact and the sides, where washing generally occurs, look as fresh and clean after a rain as an asphalt pavement. It is doubtful whether any thing short of a hard pavement can give permanent satisfaction in a large city, but if such as was performed. in Mar- seilles could beundertaken in the open country the road surfaces so treated ought to last for years with reasonable attention.

The suspicion that a Brooklyn school- girl killed herself because she had been threatened with punishment for using slang may or may not be well founded. It is unquestionable, however, that among school childrelt, as well as else- where, the use of slang is far too pre- valent. There are some slang words which are not only unobjectionable but also decidedly useful, and which may profitably be incorporated•intc, the stand- ard vocabulary of the language. Not a few of other words which now enjoy unchallenged standing had their origin in slang. Unfortunately, there aro still more slang words and phrases which have no useful purpose, but which are simply vulgar and offensive, if not actually in- decent and profane. The discouragement and suppression of these would be a greater service to the language than the elimination of a few superfluous letters in orthography. Minard's Liniment Cures Dandruff. New York Printers' Strike. As the printers' strike •has now about failed, it would be well to extract a les- son or two from its history. The bat- tle, it is now apparent, was lost to the strikers at the beginning when their leaders suffered themselves to be out- gencralled; they • .permitted the boss printers to make the public believe that the dominant issue was not an eight- hour day, but a closed shop. • With an overwhelming majority of .people it is common sense that a roan should rule his own shop, hove the right to choose the men to set type in bus own place, to set type there himself, or to put his son or daughter at the case if he and they so wish. When that is made the square issue the boss is almost sure to win. It is hard, I know, if all this is per- mitted for the union to maintain itself. But a way must be found. Let the union appeal to the publio on the issue of an eight hour day, fair wages, healthful conditions in the shop and equal lib- erty to all, and, the public will be with it every time, and in one way or an- • other the public in this country is bound to control. Union organizations have been and aro tremendous instruments for improv- ing the condition of workingmen, but they can easily become instruments for terrible evil if they teach the working- man that loyalty to his employer does not matter;and that loyalty to the union is everything; that the liberty and bene- fit they seek are to be limited to their ownend in o ressio tri members and e rh pp Other workingmen; that simple merit ceases to be the ladder by which the workingman climbs, thus paralyzing le- gitimate ambition, and making it trite , that "once an employee always an em- ployee"; that the initiative in the 1-n.:b- orer is to be discouraged and his ittdi- viduality to .bo sacrificed.

It will be tees expensive to have several pairs all 'going at once than to buy one and to wear it until past all usefulness. It is a good plan for the average woman to have two pairs of dress shoes and two pairs of strong walking shoes always on hand. Have a few shoe trees. They may be bought at a' reasonable price and will keep the shoe in shape wonderfully. The toe is bound to turn up when the shoe is empty and creases will form. Do not use much shoe polish, says the Brooklyn Eagle. Most shoes may be kept in good condition if simply rubbed well every night with a soft rag. Dressing may be applied to the edges of the soles and heels. Never set shoes near heat, especially if they aro wet. Any kind of heat, from the fireplace or the steam radiator, will break or crack the leather. Do not let the heels run down. It throws the shoes out of level and spoils the shape. Never let buttoned shoes be partly buttoned. Not only dons it indi- cate a lack of refinement, but it ruins the shape of the shoe. When laced shoes are taken off at night, do not leave then laced to far up. The foot will have to be forced into them in the morning and the linings will be broken and the shoo strained in many places. Always use a shoe horn for low shoes and slippers.
