suffered from nervous headaches, and
at times was unable to do any work

FINDING A NURSE.
~33“—
“It is a tremendous worry,” said
Vansittart, feebly, rubbing his hair the
wrong way and sighing.
Itr. Musgrave laughed.
“I wish I could help you,” he re-
turned. ' “I know a young woman who
would have suited you in every re-
spect. I can vouch for her character.
She has been with some friends of
mine as nurse, and is highly qualified.
Unfortunately she has a situation.”
“London teems,” groaned Vansittart,
“withnurses who would have suited
me in every respect, but have just got
a situation. Any one else?”
“No one else at the moment, I’m sor-
ry to say. Have you advertised?”
“I sent two advertisements to the
Post, and had seven applicants in ne-
ply. Seven! And of those three were
spectacles and one had apparently had ,
a paralytic stroke. It is most inconsid-
_ crate of Robbins, upon my word.”
“Robbins is the nurse who is leaving
you, is she?”
“She is; but she is more—she is a
treasure. I do not think I ever valued
Robbins as she deserved till she gave
me notice. She has been with the child
ever since my wife died—three years——
and I have never had a moment’s anx-
iety or trouble. The responsibility of
being a widower with a helpless baby
to take care of is simply keeping me
awake nights. The interviews, too,
are rapidly giving me gray hairs. I be-
tray my deplorable ignorance at every
question. There ought to be a book
published on the subject, ‘Hints to
Widowers Engaging a Nurse.’ The
wretches see my nervousness, and at-
tempt to bully me when I say they
won‘t do. One girl does seem all right,
however. ' She came from the registry
office this morning.”
The respectable practitioner rubbed
his hands and smiled.
“lVell,” he said, complacently, “then
your worries are over, after all. You
mustn’t look for too much, you know.
You mustn’t expect perfection. You
have got a suitable girl—the bother is
Oil-WEI.
The widower glared.
“Over!” he echoed. “W'hy, I’ve got
to go and inquire about her references.
I must journey down to Twickenham,
or Surbiton, or somewhere, intrude on
a woman who has never heard of me,
and catechise her till I shall be posi—
tively ashamed of myself! Never lose
your wife, doctor. You’re a medical
mandrake every-(precaution. "To be the
father of a delicate child without a we!
man to engage a nurse for her is the
most awful position pessibl-e for the hu-
man mind to conceive.”
_ He was of-the same opinion next day
when he found himself giving a ner-
vous rap at the door of the trim little
villa that proved to be his destination.
Vraguely also he was conscious that his
own house compared badly with this
maisonette. The geraniums in the
flower boxes bloomed" more freshly
here, the arrangement of the window
curtains was more graceful. There
was a spotlessness about the doorstep
itself which he missed at home. a
“Is Mrs. Hillary in?”
She was in. :He was requested to
walk into the drawing room. He con-
templated its screens, china, photo—
graphs and ferns with augmented jeal-
ousy. Verily, a woman was indispen-
sable to a house, and this one, he imag-
ined, must be ag nice woman. The
things about seemed to attest it. Per-
haps, therefore, she would be the more
likely'to help him through the inter-
view with kindness. He had the mas-
culinci dread» of ridicule, and .the
thought that he woulddook absurd in-
quiring whetper a servant was honest,
sober, truthful and competent was aw-
ful to him. He turned as the door
opened.
“I have taken the liberty of calling,”
he began, and then he broke off with
an exclamation, “Madge!” _
“Frank—Mr. Vansittart! Is it possi-
ble?”
”More—it’s a fact. But—how extra-
ordinary! And you haven’t changed
a’ bit!” ‘ ‘
She laughed. ,
“And you didn’t k 'i

“I hadn’t any

silly—I came about

‘A nurse? You are: If ‘i‘ried, then?”
said Mrs. Hillary. <
“I married four yearsl’dgo. I have
been awidower for three. I have one
child—a girl." .
There was a little pause between
them. He fingered his gloves, and his
hostess played with a paper knife.
“Your husband is well, I, trust?”
asked the visitor at last, with an ef-
fort. '
She gave a palpable start. They
had once been so much to each other.
1-. ;s char ac-
and now he did not even know she
was a widow.
“I lost him,” she murmured, “soon
after our marriage.”
“I—I beg your pardon. Poor Frank!
We used to be very good friends he-
fore—at onetime, I should say. You
have a child?”
“’Bertie—a fine little fellow he is!
You must. see him before you leave.
Of course you will stay to luncheon.”
“I shall bevery pleased to. How
strange itis to see you again, Madge.
You have forgotten my hasty words
when we parted, I hope?" .,
“I am afraid I deserved them,” she
confessed humbly. “We were both
young and hot-headed. I am glad no
harm was done. You were happy in
your married life?” ‘
“Y—e-s,” he said, “oh, yes, I’ was
happy. And you?” '
"Frank was very kind and indul-
gent,” she murmured. “Oh, I don’t
suppose I merit any pity. But, tell me
—I did not understand—you have
really come about a servant’s charac-
ter? “7110 is she?” ’
“She is, I think, a "Sarah Brown.’”
He consulted his letter case. "Yes,
her name is Sarah Brown. ‘ I want her
for the child,- if she is capable. Please
recommend her if you can. Another
disappointment will kill me.” I
“You want her so badly?”
“I want someone very badly—Sarah
Brown or otherwise. You can form no
idea of what it is to be a father, Mrs.
Hillary—Madge. The responsibility of
engaging a nurse is rapidly shortening
my life.” _
“Poor fellow!” said Mrs. Hillary
with compassion. "IYell, I should
think Brown would suit you very well
indeed. She is‘quite qualified, and in
fact I am rather sorry I parted with
her.’
“\Vhy did you part with her? You
see I’m becoming so fait at the busi-
ness. “'hat was the cause of her leav-
ing you?” _
“Temper,” she replied. “But to be
quite candid, I’m not sure the temper
was not on my own side. Anyhow, I
can give her a good character to you or
to any one else.” .
He heave-d a great sigh of relief.
“Then that’s settled. How glad I am
it is over. You can’t think how I
dreaded'this interview with an un-
known ‘Mrs. -Ii'iliary,’ but somehow
with you it wasn’t difficult at all;
even the domestic part of it. You
were always reliable, Madge—always
with one exception, that is to say.
That is a likeness of you-on the man-
tclpiece. May I lee-1:. at it?”
He tee-k it down and scrutinized it
attentively.
"Good,” he said, “distinctively good.
They’ve caught your expression. When
was it done—recently? Indeed! It
It might be the girl I took down to
supper at the Richmond’s ball seven
years ago.” He put the frame back and
turned his gaze to the original. "So
might you,” he added. “I’m a middle-
aged man, and you are just the some.
Do you remember that night? You
treated me very badly, Madge.”
“You were very ungenerous,
mean,” she retorted gently.
“Ungenerous? Nonsense! Three
times—three waltzes running you gave
Hillary against my express request.
Well, well,rpoor Hillary’s gone, and
here are you and I, two lonely folks,
meetng again by the merest chance.
Areyou lonely?”
“Sometimes a little lonely,” said Mrs.
you
Hillary. “But I have my child, you
know, and you have yours. She must
be a great comfort to you. I should ,
love to see her.”
“If I might bring her to you one
day,” he said, “it would please me
awfully. She never sees a womanlexL
cept the servants, from one month’s
end to the other. Nor do I. We vege-
tate in that big gaunt house, the child
and I, in a manner that is positively
pathetic.
The maid now announced that lunch-
eon was served. and they went into
the dining room together.
“If,” continued Vansittart, when he
had drunk a glass of sherry and was
turning his attention to salmon cutlet,
“if you would look us up occasionally
when you could spare the time, it
would be real charity on your part.
It would, indeed. Not alone to the
baby, but to me. You—you make me
younger, Madge; you make me forget
seven whole years.”
“Seven whole years?” echoed the
lady.
“Actually. In imagination I wear a
rose in my button-hole again and am
particular about the fit of my gloves.
\Vhat an encliani‘ress is a woman! You
do all this in an hour with a few kind
words.”
“It would be very startling.” said
Mrs. Hillary, “if you really were a
rose. Come, let me'fmd you one. _ And
——yes—I must certainly make time to
look you up one day. Your condition,
as you describeflit, sounds simply
dreadful.” 5'
She selected-4a rosebud from a glass
on the table, and taking advantage of
the servant’s absence pinned it in his
coat.
"That is better already,” she said
contemplating him critically, her head
on one side. .
“Do you know I think it was a very
fortunate thing for you, my poor old
hermit, that Fate threw you in my
way again? A few years more by
wurself, and you would have been
beyond repair. Now you may still
be done up.”
“With care,” agreed Vansittart,
“with great care and skill I incline to
think it is possible. There is one
thing, though, that continues to trouble
me. Supposing Sarah Brown should
leave? You have given me a nurse,
and I can view Robbins’ retirement
with equanimity; but supposing Sarah
should want to desert me too ?”
There must have beenmore signifi-
cance is his tone than in his werd's,
for Mrs. Hillai ' blushed, and for 'a
moment trified with her strawberrie
nervously. . :
“Sufficient for the day,” she mur-
mured. '
“Is the good it has given me,” he
concluded. “Well, perhaps so. It has
certainly been a very generous. day
indeed. But you won’t forbid me to
look forward to, the morrow, will you?
A day like this without a to-morrow
would be as bad as an hers ~d’oeuvre
‘without a dinner.”
“In some ways,” said Mrs. Hillary,
“Look forward for to-morrow by all
means—if it should be fine, you may
pay 'ine another visit, with the child.”

Successful Failures. R
Columbus discovered America
through his failure to reach India, as
he hoped to do by sailing westward.
David Livingstone studied for three
years with the sole aim of being a mis-
sionary to China. It was only be-
cause his hopes were crushed by the
“opium war,” which made it impossi-
ble to enter China, that he thought of
going to Africa, and was the means of
opening up a whole continent to Chris-
tianity and civilization.
Some years ago an ingenious plan
was proposed by a man named Joggins
for sending logs from Canada to New
York by towing them, bound together
by cables and iron girders, as rafts.
The plan failed, as the first raft sent
out met with a storm near the end of
its voyage, the iron girders snapped,
and the logs were scattered far and
wide. Hundreds of captains in the
South seas noticed these logs and re-
,ported on them. The reports were col-
lected and systemlatized, and deduc-
tions made from them as to the course
of ocean currents. So the failure “of
the J oggins raft led to one of the great-
est discoveries in modern marine geog-
raphy and navigation.

As a result of the visit of Czar Nicho-

ruled over France, Charles V. of Eng-
land passed through the country. The
French ruler extended the royal pre-
rogative of mercy to his distinguished
visitor and it was used several times,
once to save the life of a poor wretch
sentenced to be hanged for catching
frogs in the moat of the castle. The

. Even Make Artificial Limbs'fur Those
Who are Injured.
Railway economy has taken some
curious forms. “Every line its own
manufacturer,” says the London and
Northwestern Railway,- and hardly a
thing that it needs, whether a locomo-
tive or a printed label, is made for it
by people not belonging to the com-
puny. ~
i It is its own artificial-leg maker.
When an employe has the misfortune
to lose a limb'on the line, a wooden
warm or leg, as the case may be, is sent
' to him from the carpenter’s shop at
Crcwe. The leg-making department
of the Northwestern employs a couple
of expert instrument-makers working
continually to supply the demand.

saloons.
j The Midland company has found it
advantageous to have a “photographer-

Noted Structure Recently Erected Over

The longest railroad bridge of Eu-
rope, and, in fact, of the whole world,
was recently opened to tramc with
great ceremony, says the Washington
Star. ,
The new railroad bridge over the
Danube rchr at Czervanoda is one of
the most technical achievements of re
cent date. For more than nine miles
this bridge crossesthe Danube proper,
and the so-called territory of inunda-
tion, which is annually under water

line L‘ve Town in the'tVest.
“There is but one genuinely'live town”
in the West,” says A. W, Lyman, of
Helena, Mont, “and that is Butte. The
Anaconda copper mines, that vast con-
cern which makes a profit of from $5,-
000,000 to $6,000,000 a year, explains
the status there. It is employing more
men and has a bigger payroll than
ever before, and its employes get the
highest rate of wages paid anywhere.
No wonder that Butte is prosperous,
for where several thousand men get
steady work and high pay there can
be no stagnation. Life is never stag-
nlan-t in the big copper camp. The
street cars run all night and likewise
the saloons, and if a man wants a
shave at 2:30 a. m., be will find several
barber shops open.”
