To-Day's Short Story. I I A DARKSOME BLESSING. I "I am sorry that you feel so about it, Philip; but I cannot find it in my heart to leave papa in his great sorrow." The soft blue eyes of Helen Tracy were full of tears as she raised them to th' dark, suilen, but handsome face of the man who wa.s sitting- beside her. A heart less selfish and exacting would have been touched by that appealing look and tremulously-spoken words, but Philip Nor- ton's was too full of his own disappointment to have room for anything else. "I don't say this, Helen, from any want of feeling for you or for him. Nor would I press the point had the wife he has lost been your own mother." "She was not my own mother, I know, but she was very, very kind to me, and I loved her almost as well as if she were. But it is not of myself I was thinking, but of papa. The loss of one who has been a faith- ful and loving wife to him has left his heart and home weary and desolate. We are both young, you know. On this account papa, wanted me to defer our marriage a year, when I first spoke to him about it." "Your father would defer it altogether, if iie could." Helen knew that her father was disap- pointed at her choice, though he did not oppose it. The thought crossed her mind that he might have had more occasion than she supposed for his unfavourable impres- sion of her betrothed, but it was banished as something too painful to be willingly entertained. Irritated at receiving no reply, Philip con- tinued: "I thought I recognised your father's hand in this sudden resolution. He-never liked me." You are doing papa great injustice, Philip. He nsver influenced me in the slightest degree. How could he, when he knows nothing of it? Did he know of my resolve, and that it was likely to be a source 4J!f pain and trouble to me, he would be unwilling that it should be carried into effect." Philip X orton had risen to his feet, in the excitement of his feelings, and now i-esirued his seat by the speaker. My dear Helen, if you could only realise what a disappointment this is to me, and that it is in proportion to my love for you, and my impatience to call you mine, \ou would make some allowance for feelings 6Q natural under tne circumstances. liut JO I order that you may not think me exacting and unreasonable, I will make a"bompromise. Let it be deferred, if you will, to taree I months from the day we had agreed upon." "You quite mistake me, Philip, if you con- sider this to be a mere freak or fancy of mine. It is not a matter of feeling, but duty; and you ought to be the last person to wish me to do what I consider to be -wrong. "If you loved me, Helen, as you have pro- fessed to do, you could not take such a stand as this. If you insist on postponing our mar- riage to the time mentioned. I shall consider it as equivalent to a postponement of it for ever." Helen's face grew a shade paler. "You can't mean what you say, Philip?" I "I, do, I mean every word of it," was the excited response. "No man, with a particie of eslf-respect, would be willing to be con- ¡ sidered least and last of all in such a rela- tion as ours! But you will not put my love and patience to so cruel a test? You will accept the compromise, and, at least, meet me half way?" "I cannot. Philip," was the softly epoken, but firm reply. "Then farewell for ever." Philip Norton paused a moment by the door, as if he half hoped or exepcted to be cailed back, but no word came from Helen's lips, who sat like one stunned and bewildered until the sound of the closing door aroused her. He had gone—and with such words as these upon his lips! But he did not mean them. As soon as his temper had time to cool ho would regret their utterance and come and tell her so. But the evening and the next day wore away, and she saw and heard nothing from him. On the following evening there was a social gathering at the house of a mutual acquaintance—a sort of conversazione of' young church-folk—from which Helen could not very well absent herself, though she. felt strongly inclined to do so. As she expected. Philip was there. Nor did lie come alone. Emma Carlton was with him -11 gay, pretty, shallow-hearted girl, who had openly angled for her escort when Helen had felt too secure of her lover to do more than; smile at the very transparent baits thrown out to him. The two passed very near to where Helen sat, Emma leaning upon philip's arm. The latter pretended not to see her, but the former, elated beyond measure at her con- j quest, flashed down a look of triumph into her face as she passed by. Throughout the entire evening Philip was all devotion and attention to his fair com-1 panion, especially when Helen was near; the' object of this being so apparent that some- thing of contempt mingled with the pain and mortification it cost her. The mists were beginning to clear away from her mental vision. This WX3 the man she had so loved and honoured—that she still loved; for the casting cut from her heart and life all that had become so closely entwined tlexe was not the work of a, day. The next morning a package came to Helen from Philip, containing her picture, a.nd all her letters to him. most of them written during his temporary absence. She responded by returning his, together with various souvenirs, most of them mere trifles, and valued only because they were his gifts. Here it all ended; and Helen, in the bloom of her opening womanhood, looked out upon the long life that was before her, and from which all gladness and sunshine seemed to be stricken. But she had no time to indulge in selfish sorrow, even if she had been inclined to do so; the father, widowed in heart and hom, and the inotherlees little ones, clinging to her side and looking up into her eyes, made her heart so full a-nd hands so busy as to give opportunity for little else. In the meantime, Dr. Tra.cy, Helen's father, went into his home and out to his daily business, blessing, in his heart, the gentle daughter— v ho, for his sake, a matron's part Had borne before her time." never once dreaming of all it had cost her. He noticed that she was graver and more quiet tha<n she had been, but ascribed it to the responsibilities that had fallen upon her so early, his heart sinking as he thought tiia/t the time was near when he must relin- qiiish. her to the light of another home, espe- cially when he irememoored how ill-calcu- lated her new protector would be to make I her happy. One evening Dr. Tracy was passing through the room where Helen was sitting alone. She had heard of Philip Norton's engagement to Emma Carlton, and that the wedding-day was fixed. Whether it was chance, or a refinement of cruelty, of which it was hard for her to believe him capable, it was the same day on which he was to have been married to her. There was something in Helen's eyes as she glancd up at him, that made her father pause as he reached the midule of the room. All alone, daughter? Yes, papa; I'm always alone, now." These words, together with the tone in I which they were spoken, were a new and sudden revelation to Dr. Tracy. All at once it flashed upon his mind that he hadn't seen Philip Norton there for a long time, and wha.t it meant. He drew the now sobbing girl to a sofa, and biding her tearful eyes upon her father's shoulder, Helen told him of the broken engagement, and why it was broken. There were tears of pride as well as affeo- tion in Dr. Tracy's eyes a-s he listened. Helen," he said, smoothing softly the hair from her throbbing temples, He Who blesses the dutiful daughter will surely bless you. Wonderful are the leadings of Provi- dence to those who submit themselves to His guidance. It is hard for you to think so now, I but the time is coming when you will look back upon what seems such a grevious affuc. tion as a blessing in disguise." lvhat a terrible thing this is about Philip Norton!" Helen-now Helen Curtis—glanced up from the babe that was sleeping upon her knee into the kind, honest eyes of the speaker, and which mirrored forth so clearly his kind and honest heart. "What is it, John? I did net look at the paper last night." i "Why, he's absconded with seven thousand pounds entrusted to him—left the country" His poor wife! What will become of her?" She has gone back to her father's, with her two children, so the paper states. She must feel the disgrace, poor thing! Other- wise he is no great loss to her; those who knew them both say that he was very unkind and neglectful." A few minutes later and Helen was alone with her baby; Tears filled her eyes as she pressed that soft, dimpled cheek to hers, tears of joy and gratitude, not only for all the love and happiness that surrounded her, but for all she had escaped. She might have been that more than widowed wife, hers those worse than father- less ohildr-efn' Her father's words had come true: "That which had foamed such a grievous affliction had proved to be a blessing in disguise."

Miss Gcorgina France, who relates below how her Health and Energy were restored by Dr. William? Pink Pills for Pale Peptic. A Sombre Part off the Stage. An episode in the life of a clever actress. Rescued from Effects of Acute Debility by the aid of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In the glitter of the footlights we gaze upon 1 selebrities of tha Stage seemingly happy and healthy. But little we consider whether the joyous laugh rings true. There is another side to the picture, and this upon the autho- rity of Miss Ceorgiraa V. France, who has made her name famous in the theatrical world. In private life, Mrs Whit look, this lady's home is at 26, Argyle-road, Goldthorn Hill. Wolverhampton. She was kind enough to accord an interview just lately, while on tour at Manchester, to a representative who had made inquiries of the talented young actress. A? ANXIOUS MOTHER. It appeared that Mrs. Whit lock had fcr pome time been a victim of Acute Debility, and this at a time when her infant most needed a mother's tender care. First of all," said the charming artiste, "I began to feci terribly breathless, with an all-gone, sinking feeling. Then I was greatly alarmed by ti1,e fluttering sensations around my heart, which throbbed most painfully; and I felt so weak that I began to refuse' food. Coupled with these troubles, I had violent^ neuralgic headaches, which deprived me of sleep. "Every morning I rose utterly weary, feel- ing unfit to go through the trying duties cf the day. iniv back seemed as though it would break, and I could tell that my health was rapidly goiig. I GENI-i UAL BREAKDOWN OF HEALTH. "Vainly my husband tried to get me to take food; as soon as I took a few morsels keen pailis cut across my chest until I I writhed in agony. Also, my memory became; treacherous, and all my nerve seemed to have í left me." How did you manage to continue your | Btage work?" inquired the journalist. I I hardly know myself," confessed Mrs. Wbitlock. "To tell you the pdain truth, my! face had grown so pale and haggard that 'make-ups' failed to conceal the fact that I ¡ had almost been reduced to a physical wreck. I was bloodless, my constitution was devoid of strength, and you can well imagine I was ifl despair." "But you found a remedy?" said the joaroaiiet, noting the healthy, happy per- sonality before hioi. i "I am thankful to say I did," was the quick response, while a look of gratitude lighted her countenance. "Those evil days are gone, and both myself and my little one are now well and robust. I owe this happy state of affaire entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. THE DIFFERENCE TO-DAY. They have restored the colour to my, cheeks, and put strength into my limbs i again; to-day I porn as strong as I have ever1 been. I could feel my strength returning I rapidly after I had taken only the second [ box of the bills, and I did not have the terrible pains in my back. The blood again tingled in my veins, and I felt comfortable and happy once more." LilIe another woman, in fact?" suggested tlio reporter. "Precisely!" was the reply, "in my opinion there is no medicine in the world, if my suffering sex but realised the fact, that has such virtue as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." AX OBJECT LESSON TO THE READER. Even the strongest constitutions yield in time to the strain of constant attention to work. Her responsible duties reduced Mrs Whit-lock to a state of Acute Debility from which she could not recover until she had recourse to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It was poverty of her blood that led to the Debility and a.ll the evils following in its train. Thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, Rich No? Blood replaced the poor vitiated bupply, her nerves were braced up. and thus, as she said, she felt like "another woman." This is but the experience of thousands of other happy women, wives and mothers, who live to-day as examples of the unequalled value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

For Women Folk. 1 HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES I A gas-stove wiped with a paraffin rag will keep clean and nice. When thickening soups or stews, try two or three potatoes scraped instead of flour. To cure piles, take one teaspoonful of treacle every morning (fasting). Procure 4oz. ot best hog's lard, and loz. of prepaxeld flowers of sulphur. Well mix the la-rd and sulphur, and keep in a stone or china jar, anointing the parts afiected every night on retiring. This simple prescription, persevered in, will effect a cure, most obstinate cases having been wiped out through it. Clove Wine Two ounces cloves, loz. ginger, 21b. sugar to the gallon, boil the cloves and ginger three-quarters of an hour, then put in the sugar and boil twenty minutes. Let it stand until cold; it is then ready for use, but improves by standing a short time. Aunt Ruth's Pudding One pound of dates (stoned and chopped), 6oz. of beef ctiet (finely minced), lib. of breadcrumbs, ilb. of golden syrup. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, well butter a basin or mould, put in the mixture, and tie securely down, having first wrung out the cloth from boiling water. Let the pud,ding boil well for three hours. This is a delicious pudding, and very sustaining. Porterhouse Steak A porterhouse steak is cut right through the sirloin, sawing through the bone, and with the undercut attached. It should be quite an inch and a half in thickness. Soak the steak in the following mixture for two hours before cooking: Two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of saiad oil, one dessertspoonful of finely-chopped onion, and one teaspoonful of chopped parsley. Mix all together on dish, sprinkle the steak thickly with pepper and salt, and put it to soak to the mixture, turning from time to time. Grill over a clear fire for about twenty minutes, and serve with a pat of anchovy butter on top and chip potatoes round. To make the anchovy butter, take Joz. of butter, and blend with it sufficient anchovy paste to make it a. bright pink. Put in a cool place to become firm, and cut into fancy shapes or squares. Place on the steak when grilled. This makes a nice change from an ordinary steak. I

I Passing Pleasantries. A certain nobleman well-known to society, while one dir.y strolling round his stables, came across his coachman's little boy on a seat playing with toys. After talking to the youngster a short time, he said, Well, my little man, do you know who I am?" "Oh, yes," replied the boy, "you're the maen who rides in my father's carriage." Prisoner," said the Judge, you say your wife hit you on the head with a plate. Is that so?" Yee, sortr." answered the prisoner, who rejoiced in the name of Mulligan, and who h-a-d Irish nationality written largely on his features. "But," said the Judge, "your head doesn't show marks oT -aaly kind." No, sorr," answered Mr. Mulligan, with a touch of pride, but ye should ha' seen that plate. WHAT THE AILMENT WAS. One day Hoar learned tha-t a friend in Wor- cester who had been thought to have appendi- citis was in reality suffering from acute indigestion. Whereupon the Senator smiled genially. Really," said he, that's good news. I rejoice for my friend that the trouble lies in the table of contents rather than in the I appendix." STJK.MOUNTED. I The following incident described by a traveller who recently returned from China demonstrates the ingenuity of the Chinese in surmounting difficulties. He was about to journey by rail to Peking. Arriving at the local station, he said to an official: I wish to take these two dogs to Peking, What is the rate?" No got any rate for dogs," was the reply; "one dog all same one sheep; one sheep all same two pigs; can book four pig." But one of my dogs is only a, puppy; he ought to go for half fare." "Dan do, aU right." Then, turning to his clerk, the officialj calmly instructed him: W dte three pig."
IMAN MOURNED AS DEAD REAPPEARS
MAN MOURNED AS DEAD REAPPEARS A man of 50, named Henri Portier, the father of a fajnily, disappeared mysteriously at Paris last August. A few days afterwards the body of a man which had been in a field in the outskirts of the city was identified at the Morque by the whole family as being tha-t of the missing man, although his daughter Helene at first seemed doubtful. Still, as a card was found in the dead man's pockets bearing his name, doubt was consi- dered futile. The family went into mourning, and on All Souls' Day the traditional pilgrimage to the cemetery was made in his memory. The day before yesterday the dead man's sister was walking down the Rue de Bivoli when she uttered a cry. There stood her brother before her, or his ghcet! Henri Portier, fo rit was he, soon convinced his sister that he was flesh and bone, and no shadow, for he borrowed a franc of her. He assured her that he wais ignorant of his own death, for, said he, "since August I have been working as a. bookkeeper at Nantcrre." He then said good-bye, promising that he would visit his family without delay. Ho has not yet dome so, amd the mystery is deeper than ever.
RICH MISER'S DEATHI
RICH MISER'S DEATH I The death of James Ison in the Dartford (Ken-t) Workhouse Infirmary yesterday morning at the age of m recalls the story of how, nearly two years ago, he and his brother, William Ieon, aged 79, were found in LauTel Cottage, Bexley Heath, in a terrible condition. They had lived there alone for 34 years, avoiding all company. On the death of the elder brother from mortification the doctor who was called in found the rooms so insanitary that he suggested burning adl the furniture. Hardly a window had a blind to it, and nothing had been done to the inside of the house for over thirty years. The brothers allowed no woman in the house, and bought only the barest, necessitieii for themselves. They always left the house together, but when outside they separated and took different sides of the road, remaining apart till they returned. Wheal the brothers were discovered deposit notes and securities to a total of £12,000 were found.

A Craving for Drink
A Craving for Drink .———.———- 0 -———————- PATIENT'S HUSBAND SUES DOCTOR In the King's Bench Division yesterday Dr. Charles Edward Stanger was sued by Mr. Frederick Douglas, an electrical fitter, to recover damages for alleged negligence in the treatmeinit of plaintiff's wife. A verdict was returned for the defendant. Plaintiff said his wife, prior to her illness and death, used to earn 10s. a week by doing fancy laundry work on three days a, week. Defendant was called on beca.use he had pre- viously attended the woman and Mr. Douglas himself for slight ailments when they resided at Tottenham. Although Mrs. Douglas was suffering from acute Bright's Disease, plain- tiff complained that the defendant cither ordered her or allowed her to have brandy, gin, ale, and stout, a.nd on one occasion it was said he sent out for a glass of beer for her. The patient grew worse, another doctor was consulted, and ultimately she was removed to a local cottage ho&pital, where she died. Defendant emphatically denied that he ordered or allowed Mrs. Douglas to have brandy or gin. She became so much worse thalt he gave an order for her admission to hospital, and he heard no more of the case till these proceedings were taken. As to the glass of beer incident, on one occasion 'Mrs. Douglas said she had a craving for a glass of beer, and could net eat without it. He said he did not recommend it, but if she had suoh am intense craving she might have one g-laas and no more. At tho conclusioii of defendant's examina- tion in chief, the jury intimated that they were unanimously in farvour of a verdict for him.

Sir,—My wife desires me to say that your Tudor Williams' Balsam, of Honey has proved a most valuable medicine in our large family (eight children). As soon as a cough or cold makes its appearance a dose of Tudor's Balsam is at onoe administered, and this treatment is followed up until the cold dis- ■ appears. Before using the Balsam in our I family the children have been prostrate with colds for several weeks, but now, by taking doses as directed, they seem to suffer very little inconvenience. Durinir the short time the cold is upon them, the action of the Balsam is marvellous, and the little ones take it readily and ask for more.—WALTER J. BRETT, C.M.. Headmaster. Severn Tunnal School.
