MIRIAM'S DREAM.
"Yon won't really go nt this'time of
the year, will yonH"
"Rather. I'd go in Decomher if Dick
were nt the end of the jonrnuy."
"Well, I would not crom the Atlantic
in tho middle of November for a dozen
sweethearts. "
Miriam Innghod gleefully. She and
her Dick had been separated for three
years, and now ho had fallen into a
good berth at Toronto nnd had written
to her to decide whether tlioy should
both spend their winter in loneliness or
whether she wonld go to him nnd set
tle down at once na his wife.
Miriam did not hesitate a moment,
fihe set aside the shortest time possible
for winding up her m Unit's in England
nnd nrranged to sail in the fjivonian
from Liverpool to Halifax.
"lint yon'U have a dreadful overland
jonrnoy after that. It nmst bo n long
wny to Toronto," said her friend Nora.
"I don't know how you'll got through
nil by yourself. "
"Ah, but I'm not going to. Dick has
been sent by his firm to Now York od
some business, and ho intends to take a
berth in the Meldrnm, a coasting
steamer, which will bring him to Hali
fnx about the samo time that I got
thore. "
Miriam was in a fever of joy and was
altogether oblivions of such small mat
ters as intense cold, n pitching, rolling
ship and battened down hatches. The
good ship fought gayly through n
stormy, ico threatened sea, nnd at last
a morning broko when tho sun shone
fair nnd the waves sank into a com
parative calm. Passengers swarmed on
deck, congratulating each other on their
escape from prison, and tho anxious
captain sighed with relief to think that
the worst was over. Ho was npon his
bridge, stamping np and down to keep
the blood circulating in his feet, when
ahead of them he saw a strange speck
dancing on the waves.
As ho drew nearer ho found it an ap
parently empty boat, and ho sent off;
ono of 1ns ooatH to tow tho stranger to
the steamer. When it readied the side,
however, tho limp form of a sailor was
lifted from it. Under caro ond good
trentment tho blood began to run again
through his stiff veins, and ho was able
to tell what had befallen him. Unt be-j
foro that happened his boat had been
landed on deck, and tho nnme xipon it
Meldrnm nmdo known.
"How funny I" cried Miriam. "A
steamer sailing from New York to Hal
ifax is named Meldrnm."
"Aye, lnisfiie, " said n sailor omi
nously, "and this is onoof her boats."
"But how cun it bo? How conld it
have got loose out hero?"
"If that poor chap lives ho can tell
us that, and no ono else perhaps. "
After somo timo tho sailor's words
began to beat into Miriam's stupefied
brain. She tried to spenk to somo one
standing near, but her tongno would
not move, only her knees shook so much
that sho nearly fell. Her neighbor drew
her to a seat
"Is tho Meldrnm wrecked" Miriam
asked, with traglo eyes.
"I do not know, bnt I hope not. That
poor fellow will tell ns, if ho lives."
That evening it was known that the
Meldrnm had collided with another
vessel in tho storm, and that, although
all tho boats had been lowered, they
had ono after another been swamped.
The rescued sailor had just jumped into
ono when its ropes snapped, and ho
wns therefore tho only person saved.
The stewardess took the tidings with
A cup of ten to Miriam us she lay inert
nnd despairing on her sofa, nnd she let
tho woman gossipont her news without
uttering n sonnd. At last the stewardess
went away, and Miriam lay still, not
thinking, only suffering.
Later sho crawled into her bed,
where, through tho night, visions of
Dick, as n boy, ns a youth, ns a man,
rushed through her mind. Sometimes
sho saw his face shilling through the
darkness, but when sho clasped him
round the nock ho was cold as ico and
wet with salt water.
Then she wns out on the npper deck
nnd not alone, lly her side stood some
one a huge man. giant, who seemed
to reach to the sky. 11 is clothes changed
their color from light to dark, from
black to brown. His great body undu
lated all the time, and when ho pnt his
arm round her he seemed to be sur
romided witli a dry.Miffocating warmth.
Then ho pointed a long arm to the
northeast, and seemed to slip farther
nud farther nwny, though he still stixd
by her side: the minister lengthem)
into miles; Miriam followed him with
straining eyes, when n Hash of light
ning lit up the sky and sea. It played
for n nioineut round a distant tpot,
which the giant was touching, ami in
that moment she aw u picture which
she never forgot.
In the little circle of light a boat reek
ed helplessly upon the waters. I nder n
sail were ororchod some do.ou people,
trying, by huddling together, to keep
the warmth in their Unlies. She knew
that Hick wan there, nnd called his

name shrilly. There was a sudden
movement in the Iranian heap, a white
face peeped out. and then the vision
passed.
Miriam lay in her berth, tho new
dawn already lightening the sky. lhen
feverishly she got up and went on deck
to see nothing but the gray sky and
grayer sea. to hear nothing bnt the
throbbing of the engines and tho sough
of tho wind and waves. Breakfast time
came, bnt she heeded it not. For honrs
sho stood Immovable, gazing to the
northeast over the bulwarks. What did
that dream of hers menu Was Dick
floating somewhere helplessly, with oth
er passengers?
It was noon when the wind, veering,
sentaclond of smoko over her head
and a shower of black smudges upon
her hands. With them came a passing
sensation of warmth. This slight inci
dent nwoke some vague memory con
nected with her dream. The black col
umn of smoke, changing at its edges to
brown, thinning out until she could see
tho gray sky through it, starting ovor
from hersido und yet reaching far into
tho distance, caught her eye
Inspiration followed quickly. The
smoko wns the giant of the night be
fore, nnd whero it pointed lny Dick and
his companions I Sight danced into her
eyes, hope beat strongly in her heart.
She turned a glorified face to tho ship.
What could sho do? How save them?
Sho saw a foot surmounted by blue
cloth moving methodically on the deck
above, nnd in n moment flew up the
stairE lending to the enptnin's bridge.
TIio captain turned round sharply at
tho sound of strango footsteps, and per
emptorily ordered her down. Clutching
his arm sho cried :
"Captain I They aro out there, under
the lino of smoko 1 A dozen survivors of
tho Meldrnm are drifting helplessly and
nearly dead I"
The captain glanced in the direction
indicated. How should this frantic
yonng woman havo seen what his prac
tised eye could not discern ? Then he
guessed that she was tho person who,
they said, had lost her lover in the
wreck.
"My dear," he cried, patting her
hand, "go to your berth and lio down.
Yon aro in great trouble."
Bnt tho haggard, hopeful eyes stnred
brightly nt him.
"For tho lovo of humanity, captain,
nso yonr glass. Yon will see them. I
know you will."
To humor her he took a carefnl sur
vey of the horizon, upon which tho
sun was shining. At first ho shook bis
head, then ho stood for a long tiino ex
amining tho spot under the thin edgo
of the line of smoke. Ho rubbed his
glasses well and looked again, then said
qnietly :
"Something is there. Sit down in
that corner and wait."
Tho course of tho steamer was altered
slightly and n boat was lowered onco
more to gather in tho ocean's drift. To
his surp'riso tho captain saw that tho
distant object was really a boat, with
out sail or oar. How could tho girl havo
known it? Then tho group of peoplo
becunio visible, nil evidently in the lust
Btago of exhaustion, and ho went over
to Miriam and told her to look through
his glass nnd see if her friend were
there.
Sho took it from his hand with n
wild sob and gazed long and steadily at
tho coming boat, then gavo tho glass
back in tho midst of a passion of weep
ing, nodding her head to signify that
sho had seen Dick. Then she set herself
to regain self control by tho timo the
boat camo in. When it did, she was
waiting in tho hospital for her beloved.
For tho noxt -l hours sho shared tho
duties of nurse with onoof the steward
esses and saw Dick's eyes open with tho
first gleam of consciousness in them.
With n contented look nt her he fell
nsleop, nnd on tho ship's arrival at Hal
ifnx ho with nil those who had been
saved wero well enough to bo moved to

Tho captain made friends with Mir

nnd ho could not explain it, but was

A Man ot StraTT.
From timo immemorial straw, prob
ably because of its inseparable connec
tion witli bread, tho staff of life, has
had a more or less sacred significance.
Onr Aryan forefathers strewed their al
tars with it and swore on it as we
swear on tho I)ibU. It is easy to under
stand how this practice would lend to
tho stalk of corn being used as tho sym
bol of nbindingcontract. For instance,
tho Latin for a stalk is stipnlatio,
Whence naturally comes "stipulation."
In medieval times tho presentation
of a stalk of corn was a sign of service
and faith. So. too. nr. "nirim f .iT-a

The men nnd women of ancient

in the toilet, says an authority, which
gives the following hint : When animal
oil is used, it clegs up the pores and
renders tho skin coarse, but vegetable
oils. Mi-h as the Greeks nsed. feed the
skin. '1 here are many skins that do not

lo look for him, and learned to lean on
him. and dreamed the pretty lir.-a.ns that
come to pure women whose hearts Cutl has
fashioned for happy love. But over all the
prospect was the shadow of her cross.
"It could never be, never be ! " She said

Then she got to saying : " If it only could

she lav on the sofa and began to say, " It

" I'll break this cross to pieces or I'll die
trying." And then she looked around for
help And by chai.ee or providence there
came into her hand a boo!: the book
whose title and contents ale referred lo
below. It appealed lo her. Common
sense was what she needed. She realized
iiow that she had eves, hands, ornans,
dimensions like her girl friends, who were
matrons and mothers. She realized that it
was not common sense that she should be
born lo be crushed by her cross.
Life, libertv and the pursuit of happiness
w-ere her inalienable rights and she wanted
the full lights of her womanhood. It was
common sense she needed. She had tried
all the uncommon, extraordinary and ex
travagant forms of treatment, now she
wanted less medicine and more common
sense. It was thus she began the use of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The
rest of the store sounds like a fairy story.
But it is only like a fairy story in that it
ends amid the merrv clang of inairiacc
bells ami with "they lived happy ever
afterwaid."
II seemed a miracle to her friends to see
this martvr, this patient cross healer, jrel
up from her sofa and begin to live. It was
more strange when she took to poll', and
the wheel, and tennis, with all the ardor
of one so long excluded from out door
enjovnicnt. And strangest of nil tliat she
became Ihe mother of healthy, happy chil
dren. This is not a fairy story. It is not
the storv of one person. II is the story of
tlioiiQaio'ls of women. It is a composite
1 picture ill which one can trace face behind
lace, linen Willi surierine;, cnauucicu oy
tears. It is a story as true as the parable
of the Prodigal Son, which was not the
story of one young man but the story of the
type which repeats itself generation after
generation and is as common to ICurope as
to Asia, to A frica as to Americn.
