Tb following Tueday evening Mla
Cuuimlng appeared at the weekly
prayer meeting, aurprlalng tboe wbo
for year bad been regular Id their at

On Thunulay tba mlulater dined at
tha borne of Deacon dimming, and
Mlaa Dorothy during the evening found
an opimrtunlty to auy to him that aba
bad been deeply lmpreed by bl Kun

wltb hi in on the aubject of tbe dla
co ii r. Mr. Kordham elgclflrd bin w

getlng that he call at tbe cburcb

Mum Cummlnga did not appear at
tbe church on tbe aecond Sunday of
tba new clergyman' admlulNtratlon.

Mr. Cumuiliig Inire a meaaage to tbe

i'ordham and aiked If be could find
It convenient to call, during tbe week,
Blue aba waa not well enough to go
out. Rbe dealred a conference.
Now, tbe Iter. Mr. Ford ham waa a
young bachelor, but old enough to uo
demand the rare that mut be obeerv

guidance which he preferred nut on
auy accoutit to break through. Thl
rule wua that be would not make auy
but formal visits to the womeu of hi
congregation and nil aplrltunl luniruc
tlon must be administered ut the
church. He did not explain why he
bad made thla rule. lie almply atated
tha fact. '
A few week later the Cummlnga
family physician. Dr. Effingham Trent
wun called lu to aee Dorothy. He look
ed nt ber tongue, felt ber pulse aud
stuck n little glass thermometer In her
mouth. Then he took out the prescrip
tion blank with which doctors invari
ably end a call, especially a first call,
and wrote a prescription. This done,
be left her, atntlng that the trouble
waa not serious. As soon as he bad
gone Dorothy threw his prescription
into the Ore.
A week pnased. and Miss Cummlngs.
being no better, her father called up
Dr. Treat by telephone and wna In
formed tbat be had gone to Smith's
drug attire. Mr. Cummlngs phoned the
doctor there and asked him to call on
Dorothy, since ahe was no better, and
be (her fathen was worried about her.
Trent, having forgotten whnt medicine
be bad recommended the girl und not
wishing It to appear that the rase was
not constantly on his mind, asked
Smith, who aold the CummlngseB all
their drugs, to look up tbe prescrip
tion and tell him what be bad ordered.
Smith discovered that no prescription
from tbe dc-tor to any of the Cutu
jilnga family bad been recently tilled.
On hla way to visit the patient the
doctor waa stopped by tbe Rev. Mr.
Fordham to Inquire about Miss Cum
mlngs. He wished to know whether
Dorothy was very alck and gave con
fidentially as a reason nor request that
be abould call to 'administer spiritual
advice, bla refusal, according to bis
rule, atatlng further that If abe were
in danger be would not hesitate to go
to her at once.
The doctor promised the clergyman
that It Dorothy abould become dim

drove on. But on the way be did aome

and departed, promising to return

not dor to burn up ber prescription,
but wben tbe medicine came ahe dally
poured a small portion of each In a
alnk. Since ahe thwarted ber pbyal
dan' Intention In ber behalf It la not
remarkable that ahe gained no benefit.
Dut on tbe other band. If abe gained
do benefit abe Buffered no Injury.
Now. Dorothy In ber femlnln way
waa a far better diagnostician than any
of ber pbyaklona. Though abe bad
met tbe Rev, Cbarlea Fordbam but a
few time, abe bad noticed In bla eye
tbat peculiar spark of lor whlcb
flashes at time between two person
of opposite cx, aa well aa felt It In
ber own heart. During bla first ser

During ber lllnesa or. rather, ber ae-
clualon be bad made repeuted Inqui
ries of her family aa to ber condition
and bad manifested tbe usual solici
tude of a pastor for one of bla con
gregation. He even expressed a re
gret tbnt tbe rule be bad made wltb
reference t refraining from private
visits to tbe women of bla cburcb bad
prevented bis giving the sick girl tbe
benefit of spiritual comfort
Tb Btatement seemed to have a bad
effect when Mra. Cummlngs repented
It tc tbe patient for tbe next day Dor
othy admitted to ber mother that one
of the causes of her ailment was a
self conviction of ber own sinful con
dition. Wben Mrs. Cummlngs repeat

good lady that be would visit tbe in

he rang the bell at, tbe Cummlngsea
and waa ushered hito an upstairs liv
ing room where Dorothy, whose pal
lor bad been caused partly by confine
ment and pnrtly by face powder aklll-
fully applied, waa balf reclining on a
lounge. She wa dressed lu a becom
ing klmono-IIke gown and pnrtly cov
ered by a silken spreud wltb colors
to correspond with the gown. She
wna a very pretty girl and never looked
prettier than nnr, at the s.-im time
enlisting the sympathy of an Invalid.

talk about Is hot known to any one
except him und DoroMiy. V lien tie

found It much easier to break It u sec
ond time, after which it waa far easier
to breuk tbn adhere to It.
It was shortly before these visits
began thnt Dr. Efflnghnm Trent, meet
ng Mr. Cuuimlngs. nked after his
dnuctlter. Mr. Cnmmtngs said Ihnt he
bnd had four physicians and gave Dr.
Trent a summary of their opinions a
to what waa the matter wltb Dorothy.
Dr. Swain-Chichester thought the pa
tient wna threatened with melancholia.
The next practitioner attributed ber
Illness to ber liver, tbe next to the
nerves, tbe next to n nonnsslmllatlon
of food. There wns one point on
whlcb they all agreed-tbut the pa
tlent gave no response whutever to
the mediclnea they prescribed. This
waa not remarkable since sbe hud
taken none of them. Dr. Treat listen
ed to these diaguose. looked wise and
aald nothing.
The visits of the Rev. Mr. Fordhnni
to Miss Dorothy Cnramlnga were con
tinued with excellent results. Her
physicians were discharged, what re
mained of her drugs was destroyed, and
It was not long before she whs driving
out for an nlrlng. Then ahe was seen
frequently In company wltb tbayclergy

tion began to talk of an engagement
It wna whinnered among some of tie
unmarried Indies who hnd themselves

They were all of tbem behind the
times. At one of the earlier visits Mr
Fordbam bad made on Miss Cummlngs
he bad proposed to her and been ac

Dorothy'a recovery they were aimply
having a courtship for tbe world, and

wished to terminate the treaty of 1832
has been received at the State De

publish the text of the note, but ad
mit that Its content- have been well
outlined in the news dlapatchea from

tbe Russian foreign office made
no response to Secretary Knox's Invi
tation to embark on negotiations for
a new treaty.
It may be said upon good authority
that the Russian government does not
intend to be hurried In thla matter,
but on tbe other hand, it doea not ex
pect to conclude a new convention be
fore the existing treaty expires on De
