(Continued from page 2)
But Sally, watching for this very
thing, saw him corning and hardened
her heart, as Pharaoh did in the face
of proffered felicity, and, by a good
deal of forcible instruction, she suc
ceeded in getting the little maid to
say that she was not at home. The
maid's untutored face showed Seffy
that she was not telling the truth,
however, and she was not sorry for it.
She would never have treated Seffy
so!
Seffy shifted his hat from one hand
to the other and then said:
"Tell her—tell her—when she comes
home—thai I'm sorry—” He did not
exactly know what he was sorry for,
and so said good night and went.
“He knowed you was at home!" re
proached the little maid. “He was
sorry for you.”
“What did he say?" demanded Sally
savagely.
“To tell you that he was sorry—
when you got home."
“When I got home? Then I better
stay away, I expect. That's what he
meant., did ho? Well, I'll show him!”
Hut tho maid understood Softy’s rustic
chivalry and she did not laugh with
her mistress.
Yet, Sally went back to her window
and again watched, hoping Seffy would
look back. She was not quite sure
■what she would do. Perhaps she would
get angry—perhaps—But if he would
only look! He did not, and Sally un
derstood that he had accepted hts
conge as she had given it. And quite
as the old man had said, she did regret,
now, and she iiad regretted that other
night. But there was more penance
tnan he had said or thought. Yet—
there was the Pressei temper! And it
did not await the subsidence of the
sorrow, but rose at once. What busi
ness had he tamely to accept the situ
ation?
I am satisfied that there is some con
nection between red hair and temper.
And I am, further, satisfied that there
is even more between the associated
ideas of red hair, temper and regret.
But my difficulty is to determine just
where each stands. Logically, the re
gret ought to come last. But. to Sally,
and in this case, it came in the mid
dle. For, she began and she ended
without it, but she distinctly remem
bered having had it. Therefore, it
must have been in the middle.
And Sam administered Seffy's coup
de grace! Perhaps it was accidental.
But I think it must have been nothing
less than spying and then devilish iu
vention—it was so entirely apropos.
As Seffy descended the Hill of De
light on which Sally's pretty little
house stood. Sam ascended it, singing,
as he passed Seffy:
“Napoleon, with a thousand men,
| Marched up the Mil and dowm again."
From his own darkness, Seffy saw
I a golden shaft of light burst from
the door at the top of the Hill of De
light. and. in it, he saw Sam mount
to where was his heart's desire.

TOBACCO SMOKE.
It Is a Dangerous Medium of Carry
ing Germs.
I feel moved to sound a note of
warning in regard to a source of in
fection which I have not yet seen
referred to in all the many “dangei
signals” sent out by any of th
learned professors, boards of health,
or other experts, writes W. M. Houser,
M. D., in Medical Brief. I refer to
smoke, and more especially to tobac
co smoke. I believe all agree that
smoke is minute particles of carbon,
resulting from incomplete combustion.
There is no good reason why these
floating particles of carbon should not
be carriers of innumerable germs of
consumption, pneumonia, influenza,
etc. Many smokers are infected with
consumption, pneumonia, influenza,
and other infectious diseases peculiar
to the nose, throat and lungs. The
very passages of these little carbon
balloons are made to travel in the al
most universal habit of smoking, and
we are all compelled, on the streets,
in the cars, depots, hotels and all
other public and many private [daces,
as well, to take this same smoke, sec
ondhanded, and probably disease-germ
laden from some badly diseased and
infested mouth, nose, throat or
lungs. So why should this not be a
most fruitful source of infection? It
is revolting enough to know that in
place of inhaling pure life-giving,
vitalizing air, to which we are all en
titled you are taking into your
mouth, nose, throat and lungs the ex
halations from some dirty, black mug.
you have just passed on the street,
to say nothing of it being laden with
deadly germs, liable to lead you into
a lingering and loathsome disease to
your death.
Take your eggs, hides, furs and pro
duce to Newark Grocer Company.
They pay the highest market price.

"The Lowest Order of Mind.”
At a recent meeting of New Eng
land college presidents, one of the
most important of them all remarked
that mental arithmetic did not train
a child's mind, and that a mathemati
cian per se was incapable of moral
reasoning. Mathematicians might
take notice, remarks Harper's Weekly.
"It. reminds one," says the writer, "of
Stiles, the greatest of the Yale mathe
tnaticians of his time. He, indeed,
had virtues as well as mathematics,
and was the graceful and learned
editor of Garden and Forest, horti
culturist editor of the New York Trib
une, and president of the New York
park commission. Once he was ill
for a long time—a very long time—
and he used to say that when he be
came convalescent he discovered that
the math rustical was the lowest
order •. f mind. He wanted to read:
he tried poetry, and that, would not
do; nor would fiction or philosophy or
history—but when he at. last tried
mathematics he found that his en
feebled mind could master that.”
Tied Up the Gallaghers.
Lightning has played some qneor
pranks, but about the funniest joke

domicile and the fluid completely
wrecked the iron bedstead in which
the old man and his wife were sleep
ing. Worse than that it twisted the
clothes and the iron about the couple
in such curious fashion that they were
actually tied in bed, and, to save them
selves, couldn't get out, while the rain
b; at in on them from the wrecked
roof. Finally their shouts brought
the neighbors and Gallagher and Mrs.
Gallagher were released from old
Jupiter's iron clutch, wet and scared
and exhausted. The bedstead with
the clothes twisted about its sides is
a curious object of interest iu Cleve
land to tills day.
