SHE SEALED HIS HEART FOREVER tOrttfnl.l fid stood before a door opening from a corridor In an office building. ber band renting on tbe knob Irreso lutely. On tbe glass were neat gold tetters, "Arthur Westcott, Attorney at Law." Presently, aummonlng her reso lution, the girl turned tbe knob and en tered. A few minutes later she was ushered into Mr. Weetcott'a private of fice. -Xlnar "Arthur, help me. Clifford Is in trou ble. He is accused of appropriating the funds cf the bank.' A singular expression passed over tbe man's face. - Clifford Buna had won from him the heart of Nina Wrenn, to whom he had been be trothed. "But why not secure another defend- err he asked. "Because I hare been told there Is but one man at the bar wbo can cope with the state's attorney, who con- Tkts ail who come before him, and yon are that man." There was a short silence, at the end cf which Westcott said: That's the world's Terdlct By the art she sealed my heart to her for ANNS ATWOOPv "DOUSING" RODS. Art !

These arts consist mainly in tbe nvusuiUon of superficial Uni which escnpe the ordinary ob server.

No doubt he frequently does so, though he may not give away the secret of his method to others. But in many in stances he recogubsea by association and memory the presence of a group of indications, great or small, which be has repeatedly found to attend springs or ore deposits. This skill, due to habit is often almost unerring for a given limited district but under new condi tions it breaks down. Old miners from California or Australia have often made in other regions the most foolish I "Nina, your trouble is my trouble. nd not1" attempts to find gold be- 1 will defend your lover and do my best In your behalf. "Arthurr " ' She spoke only his name, but there was a world of gratitude in her eyes. Then she turned abruptly and left the office. ' She had been actuated by one over powering motive a desire to save the man she loved,' even though she de mean herself by asking the one she had slighted to be her instrument In doing so. Bnt suddenly in his magna nlmlty she saw the worth of the man she had given up and the worthless' ness of the man for whom she had deserted him. But was this new to her? Westcott bad won her consent to marry him because he was a splen did man. Bunn had lighted on her heart as a butterfly will light on a flower and carried off all its sweet ness.. Nevertheless she left the office feeling that she had acted unwisely and that if Westcott bad treated her as she had treated him she would never forgive him. Tbe trial was a notable one notable on account of tbe social prominence of the young man. who was known to be betrothed to a popular belle but the main feature was tbe remarkable summing up of what was recognized as a weak case by Arthur Westcott an effort that placed him far above ev ery other criminal lawyer In bis state. He saved his client from punishment but not from conviction In the minds of every one wbo read the testimony in cold type, uninfluenced by the Im passioned appeals of bis defender.

ONE CAUSE OF ILLNESS. Rid teuton Fad That Spring; From Smatterlaa; ( Kaerwledjr. A famous physician upon being asked recently what is the chief cause of ill health replied: Thinking and talking about it all the time. This ceaseless introspection in which so many of the rising generation of nervous folk In dulge is certainly wearing them out When they are not worrying as to whether they sleep too much or too lit tle they are fidgeting over the amount of food they take or the quantity of ex ercise necessary for health. In short, they never give themselves a moment's peace. Our grandfathers did not con cern themselves with these questions. They ate, drank, slept, as nature prompted them. Undoubtedly they Wrenn appeared again at the counsel's Wealthier in mind and body for Dffire. Rhfi hnr .n onvpinn- rwn. tteir nhhwa indifference, and if we ing ten $100 bills.

"Arthur," she said presently, "I treat Jed you shamefully.". p "You but followed the dictates of your heart I would not have you do .'otherwise. V 'Then-then," she faltered, "if the dictates of my heart" and paused. "Should change even an hour before marriage I would have you change as wen- tier eyes were still on the floor, and she seemed tongue tied : "Nina," said the man impressively, "do you regret' There was no reply, only a troubled gaze, a gaze bent always down, never upward. Westcott went to her and took ber hand. "Sweetheart," he said softly, "let us forget this unpleasant episode, forget that this feeble minded man has for a time captivated you. We are still, al ways have been, lovers. The rest has ,been a dream." "Arthur, you are too good for me. I am no better than Clifford." There was melancholy in her tone that startled Westcott. "Not too good for you, but stronger perhaps, more practical, farseeing." "No, you are too good for me. I am not worthy of you." "If I ever doubted you were my knowledge of tbe noble effort you have made to save an unworthy man to whom you bad given your heart would have convinced me to the contrary. Tour fault is a lovable one. Come, Nina; on your decision probably rests the tenor of your whole future life. I believe that you will be the wife either of Clifford Bunn or of Arthur West cott Which shall It be?" There was no response, but ber head was slowly bending, it seemed, under a great weight and Westcott guided it to his breast. ' There It rested for a time, when at last be said: "Now go, sweetheart This is no place except for business. Take your time. Do nothing in a hurry. One week from tonight I shall call for youi ; reply." " ' ' Before tbe expiration of tbe week Westcott received a'note addressed In the well known hand. He tore it open and read: ' Clifford has gone to anothr country to begin life anew, and I have gone with him. I told you I was unworthy of you. "Singular case, Arthur," said a friend one day to Westcott, "that of Nina Wrenn leaving you to cling to that mis erable fellow Bunn. After all, you were rocky to lose ber." , t . asked ourselves fewer questions we should have less time to analyze or Im agine ailments. That medical science has made re markable progress Jn the last few dec ades cannot be denied. The fault for some present day undesirable conditions lies not with the doctor, but with' the patient There has been too great a tendencyion the part of the laity to ac quire a smattering of medical knowl edge through the reading of so called "health" magazines and pamubiets and to put into practice on their own ac count that "tittle knowledge," which. It cannot be denied, is a "dangerous thing." The following of some most ridiculous fads along tlie lines of eat ing, drinking, sleeping and exerdse has assisted In swelling the mortality sta tistics. Our grandfathers would hold up their hands in horror at many of the foolish things we do In tbe name of "health." A little more of the com fortable nonchalance of our healthy an cestors would do no harm to the rising generation. Housekeeper. Half or Two-thlrda. The bishop of Kensington at a prize distribution recently told of a case in which a boy got the better of the ei' aminer. "Suppose," asked tbe exam iner, "I offered you half an orange and two-thirds of an orange, which piece would you taker "Please, sir, the half."' shouted the lad. "Stupid boyr exclaimed the examiner. "I shall put a black mark against you for that" Subsequently a deputation of scholars waited on the examiner to convince him that he was wrong. "Why am I wrong?" be Inquired. "Because Tom my does not like oranges at all," was tbe conclusive answer. St James Gazette.
