ERHAI'S you will say that this is not ex actly a club story. Hut my excuse for git iug It to you Is that tlie Old licau told it to me one night tvhilo we sat In the cozy, cur tained alcove just behind tho buffet. And long before he had finished I called tho steward to refill our glassess, for it sent a creepy feeling down my back. "I have been a member of the club for five and twenty years," said my friend, "and in that time I have como to know intimately tho lives of many men. Some curious thing's have happened within these rooms, but none so strange as this thing in the life of a man who was once tho very soul of our inner circle. There! I did not mean to use that word, for before I have finished you may think it was misplaced. Hut no matter. Other and wiser men than wo have had their doubts, "Ills name was Eugene Wallace. We used to sit here and talk and drink 'I! and S,' just as you and I are doing now. One night we fell to talking about marriage. " 'If I wanted to marry any woman,' said Eugene, 'which, thank heaven, I do not, nothing should stand in my way.' " 'I can readily beliovo,' I said, for I liked to urgo Eugene on, 'that you would permit no little matter of eon' science or sentiment to stand in your way or prevent you from accomplish' infir vour desires, let I do think, my dear follow, that it is possible there may be obstacles In this life which even yon will find it difficult to sur mount. " 'Don't be sarcastic,' he returned 'time enough to twit me with lack of conscience or sentiment when I have set up a cluiin to the possession of either.' " 'Truly, Eugene,' I said, 'if a man oould only throw overboard some little things that hamper him from within, he might work to better advantage at times.1 ' Nothing but the externals are worth considering,' ho replied, slowly. 'Ill fact nothing is worth considering much.' " 'Thinking,' he went on presently, and in a manner calculated to give force to his words, 'is a heavy task, aud it docs not make things go any real passion In tho world tho result might prove a little annoying for all concerned.' "Eugene answered this lazily, us if the matter after all did not much In terest hint. 1 'I told you once,' ho said, 'that con science should never stand In my way, Tho reason was I think I have 110 conscience. Nor do I think I havo that other attribute which is supposed to bo coordinate with It the soul, you know. That little place at tho base of tho brain where the soul is supposed to rcsidu I verily believe is hollow. If a clever anatomist ever has mo on his table I hope hu will nut neglect to In vestigate this matter.' " 'What has all this rigmurolo to do with MIrs Volsilt'iieV' I demanded, growing Impatient Willi his nonsense. ' '1 am coining to that,' he answered quickly. 'Hv the way, it is curious,' putting his hand to tho back of his head, 'that the saw-bones say the very easiest place to cut off life is Just here, right below whero the soul the Incar nation of life should bo. Now, it Is true,' handling a long, thin knife such as surgeons use, 'it is true that such a thing as this thrust right in at tho base of the skull, would cut oft that which wo call life, on the very instant.' ' 'Yes, yes, I suppose It would,' I answered, annoyed tit tho way he kept from the question, 'it would sever tho spinal cord. Hut let us stop this idle tulle. I would like to know what you intend in regard to Ilcrtha Vois-dene?' " 'Ah, yes,' he said, laughing a little; 'I had forgotten the important matter In hand. I said I would inarry any woman if I wnnted to. Hut I don't want to, thank heaven. I love Iiertha Voisdcne, and I think sho loves me. Hut you are right in what you have said. I am not a lit mate for that pure chiliL' "With the last word, so quickly that I could not interpose, he had driven the knife with which he had been playing directly to the vital spot and what had once been Eugene Wallace, and my iriend was only a lifeless thing upon the floor. "An hour later I stood beside his body, alone with tho surgeon whom I had summoned, and his words camo baok to me with startling distinctness. ran- M r.'Uia 'J i Slightly Sparls.

"It was not long after this that Eu geno met Iiertha Volsdene. I must give yon a word about her. Orphaned in childhood, she hud been carefully reared within cloistered walls, and at tle dawuiiiff ot womanhood had come out upon the broader stage of the world as unsophisticated as a child. Her youth and Innocence charmed him as tho attributes of no other woman had ever done. Now add to this that her father had been my boyhood's friend, and it will help you to under stand what follows, oj soon saw how things were going between them, and I knew what Eu gene's paBt had beea. No worse than yours or mine, perhaps, but he had lived the life of a man of the world. I am not meddlesome, but I felt I must spcad a word of caution to liim and t did so . . , ' tAhl yoa are about to turn moral ist,' he said, lifting his eyebrows at tne. 'But do you think It worth while to waste your maiden effort on so tin UUnlv 11 Bubiect?' it iMIbs Voisdene,1 I answered, not h...llnir this, 'has known so few men that any passably decent fellow who mniil make love to her violently might Interest her.

I told this to the medical man, and, with the cold passion of an anatum st, he put his implements into play mid laid bare the base of the skull i nd deftly removed the necessary portions of bone. "Just as be had done this the on door nf the room opened, and I stepped hastily toward it. Hertha stood there, quiet, pale, beautiful. " 'Where is he?' she asked; 'he t lid me to come to him. hero, at this h or. We arc to fly, together.' "This was the woman who had ki' led my friend. I grew hard and cold to ward her. " 'Your punishment be on your own head,' I said; 'you would have thn wn yourself away for a man who had no soul. Look. "I flung a book open upon the table before her, aud pointed to a passage which tho sawbones had just shown me. These were the words: " 'The seat of the soul is lu the Corpus Callosum, a spongy little oody at the base of tho bruin.' Then, mo tioning her toward the form, 1 turew back the wrappings and exposed the incision that had just been made. " 'Look,' I said again, 'this man never had a soul.' "Hut poor Hertha Voisdene saw only the fuee of him whom she hud learned to love, and the eyes, now wide and staring, that had charmed her heart away. And witU a single bound sho fell fainting across the body of her lover." The Old Heau paused, while I hastily swallowed a glass of something warm to still that creepy feeling. 'Then my friend ashed me, its usual: "Do you want the end of tho story?" I nodded, thmiL'h half afraid to henr it. Well," ho said, quietly, "all this might have happened, I suppose, but It did nut. 1 know no happior couple than my dear friends, Eugene ami Hertha Wallace. We will go around and sue them some nnh'. ami tell them this story. And remember, young num. you need never look for such grim tragedies among the records of our club." Afterward I a:;!;cd the Old Hcrtn why ho had done this thing to me. "To show you fellows, who are so fond of spinning yarns for the public, that soino others can spin yurns as well."

But, I hear you say, a loose garter will slip down and drag the stocking wiih True, if thn garter is not fastened to the stocking and the whole held in place by a supporter. The garter represents capital; the supporter, labor. That the supporter docs the work does not necessarily imply that it has no beauties. For nothing could be more dainty thati the satin waistbands, in pink, blue, white, yellow or black, that fasten them around the waist. Don't wear supporters without a waistband. Some are arranged without, to fasten on the 1 corset, but what a demoralizing effect they have upon it. Two coarse spots appear very shortly, due to the dragging down tendeucy, and the corset is ruined. The supporter itself should be of silk elastic to match tho waistband; a silver buckle where the double strap joins the upper part, and loops of baby ribbon falling beneath it, add beautifying touches. So much for labor. The capital represented in many gar ters would make a miser weep. Some are made of silk elastic, through which gold threads run, until it looks like cloth of gold more than aught else. Such a garter was lined with white satin, and on one side loops of white ribbon hung from a diamond-imbedded clasp. Immense rosettes of lace mingle with lace of knickers on some limbs, and large medallions form the centerpieces. Others have buckles of Colonial gold.
