When I went to lunch and had timn
to analyze my feelings I found that I
resented bring forced into posing as a
sort of trousuiod fairy goduiother to
Marguerite.
Of course ns long as I bad no inten
tions whatever of asking her to marry
1110 I could hardly be sonlisurd as to i t
Kent Home oum else doing m. And cer
tainly I'oisytbo and Dillard had be
hiived haudsuiiiely no one could have
done more.
Kilt to be nskod for my oouaent to
Marguerite's nuptials us though f
were her elderly uncle or benuvolont
maiden aunt was a trille trying.
At o o'clock I was on my way to see
her. I felt that however unpleasant
my new attitude tow ward her might
be, it at least gave me a riuht to know
which one of my friends she had ac
cepted. J!y the time I reached the
car wan sure it was Forsylhc; when
1 alighted at the coiner my liiiud was
made up to aeoept Dillard iih her future
husband, ninl when 1 entered the door
I had ciiiuii to the conclusion that
whichever nbo took slut was undoubt
edly doing well for herself.
"What, it is you?" cried Marguer
ite, when i found tier in the library.
")td you expect some ouu else?" I
asked, scanning her closely, hhe un
doubtedly looked happy.
"Vou were here yesterday," hho re
plied. "(lue goiid turn de-servea am ther,"
i said. "Hesides 1'vo come to con
gratulate you."
"Well'" she asked and settled down
eonifoi tably to listen. Marguerite is
very provoking sometimes. She knew
I uas nil ut Men.
"Pillarc is a man to be proud of,"
I hazarded, watching tier fiuv.
"Are you proud of him'.'" she in
quired, looking up at mo with big
qui stionin:; eyes. After all tbo role
of fairy iniliuothcr to Marguerite
wasn't so had, I rclleeted, that is, if
01111 couldn't bo anything else.
"And his fort iiuu " 1 went on, ig
noring her iiiestioii.
"Ah, his fortune aro you proud of
that, too'.'" she asked.
I'erliaps it wasn't Ibllard after all.
"Hut I'nrylhe," I said, shifting my
ground, "be is a man in a Million.''
"Yes, ho is," said Margin-rite re
flect ively.
"See here," T cried desperately,
"which are you going to marry':'-'
" The muu in a million or the man
with a million?" i-ho eried with a
saucily lilted chin.
"Yes, w bicli is it to 'ne-.--' I rcpeattd
eagerly.
"Suppose," she said, slowly, "sup
pose 1 a-ked your candid, unprcpi
diccd. honest advice?"
"Oh, tln-u suppose I should have
to advise you to take tin m both."
"Yes, I suppose you would," suT
assented thoughtfully.
"Or el-nto leluse thelii both," I
added.
"Ah, suppose I had alieady done
that." sho said .softly.

I'red Strubeii. now one of the richest

the story of his discovery of the world's
richest gold fields in thche words:
"On the second day of my prospect

must have been nt, one time sub

think that there must be conglomerate
beds or drifts in the neighborhood
whieli might carry gold, us in other
parts of tho world had been the case.
Ii was not until March, lss.-",, that I

the ton'."
Such was the beginning of tho
South African gold fever. Within 11

by many as the coming treatment for

The amateur iimRieui should firrt
of all keep in mind two important ob
jects of massage treatment. 'They
arc :l assist the blood in the
veins ti... lo the heart, in order to
relieve the liiio-reiit parts of the body
which have bei ii exorcised and ni"
cngestcl. and, s(,n'id, tn relieve the
pain in any tissue due to any cause
whatsoever. Next it would be well
to have at least a slight knowledge of
the structure of the body, as well as
i f it.s ciiiioiriii.iti hi aud contours.
Muscles ati imt to be rubbed in the
same manner thai one would rub
joints; there!'. .re a little knowledge of
muscles as w ell ns nf joint i is es.-'en-t
in! . so that these may be properly
treated by rubbing them when it is
ti' ce.-.-ary.
'bibbing may he cither local or
general- that i", it may be applied to
an arm, the back or the foot, or it
may be applied to Hie whole body.
I'i. fanes mentions seven different
kinds of manipulation. "II may con

paitn of the baud, slapping the body
with the open hand, healing il with

The rubbing should not last so long
that fatigue will result, l urther, ton
ifpid nibbing will frequently cause
pain by heating the skin too quicLly,
causing the btitrs of the body to stick
to the maiiip'ii.'.tor'.s hands, giving in
a final result a pulling of these hairs.
