they had left their native London ankle
deep in slush and dirty snow and veil

Cannes they sat beneath a sapphire

watched the carnival maskers In their
gay costumes of stuff or satin dancing
upon the asplreit which surrounded the
band kiosk and even pirouetting gayly
upon the open road, j I -' .
All around them were life and color.

many languages intermingled in gay
banter, the democratic jostling of Pie-
rots and Pierettes in satin with white
capped market ' women, townsfolk In
cheap and gaudy domlnos and tweed
clad tourists armed with guidebooks
and kodaks. '
To Ncjrton, the younger of the two
men, the scene had the charm of en
tire novelty. At the-battle of confetti
earlier In . the day he had exhausted
himself jJay two hours and a half of
confetti throwing under a blazing sun,
and now, after an excellent dinner, be
was laughingly complaining of the con

over their coffee.1 ' ff -'.'! ' "J ":.'"'

pendent nd spent his time In perpetual
travel, j Carnivals were nothing new
to him, and as a rule he avoided them,
but; this; spring the1 fancy had taken
him to revisit Cannes In the company
of his relative, Norton, and now, as
he sat watching the dancers under the
palm trees in the starlight, 'the spirit
moved him to be confidential, i '
; He lit a cigarette and blew slowly
up Into the night air. A curious wil

grew rounder still in amazement.

claimed. - ' v

hung on to my arm and kept on whis
pering about old times, and -finally,
after I had broken away, declaring I
did not know her. she slipped a scrap
of paper into, my' pocket and rah away

spoke a word until we got to the hotel.
Then in the presence of her mother she
opened It., It was nothing in the world
but a pink confetti disk, with the name
"Ether - written across It. but It - cut
short my- happiness most effectively.
! "The two women worked themselves
up Into a scene. My explanations were
hardly listened to. Mamie was an Im
pulsive, jealous child of 18. and her
mother had always - been against the
marriage. The end of it was that they
left. Cannes the next morning acid re
turned to the States without me. I
had put It to Mamie that she must
choose between her mother and me.
and she chose her mother.
"You know the . rest. Three years
Ago, hearing that her mother was dead,
I was starting In search of Mamie,
when I read by chrinee in an American
paper that the daughter -of Commo
dore Grierson (that was the name of
Mamie's father) had just married Bar
on Ludwig von Riegelthurm. Some
how I had always been fool enough to
hope we might come together again,
which , shows, I suppose, that a man
doesn't get wiser as he gets older."
' "It must be awfully painful for you,"
Norton said sympathetically. "Were
you very fond of her 7"
- "She. Is the only woman I ever really
cared a straw about or ever shall care."
He rose as he spoke, and the two
men strolled away. The little lady in
the blue domino at the adjoining table
stared intently after them. Then she

"Those. people who Were at the next

differently. - . -
v As he spoke be distinctly felt a hand
thrust -Into the pocket of his overcoat
It was a very little. hand, as he found
when he' seized It. and it was soft and
feminine. , Its owner wore a blue
domino and wriggled her fingers cleai
from his. leaving in his pocket a twist
ed scrap of paper.
The blood rushed to Fleming's face.
The situation of ten years ago was re
peating itself- Crossing to a brightly
lighted shop window, be unfolded the
- paper and disclosed a pink paper disk.
across which was written In pencil the
name "Mamie."
"By Jove, if It should have been my
wife's hand that I caught in mine!"
; That was his,first thought, but -the
next moment he recalled the bitter fad
that Mamie was his wife no longer, but
the Baroness Riegelthurm.
Nevertheless he looked round for the
blue domino and caught sight of hei
entering an open carriage with her twe
companions. Fleming chartered an
other and followed the party totJie
doors of the Grand hotel, the hall of
which he entered a few seconds aftei
them.
i "Are the Baron and Baroness Rlegel
thurm staying here?" he Inquired of
an attendant .
"I think they expect you. sir. One
of the ladles asked me whether you
wanted to see the Baroness Rlegel
thurm or her stepsister. Mrs. John
Fleming."
Half an hour later the little blue
domino, without her mask and with
tears in her pretty dark e?es, sat hand
In hand with Jack Fleming in her sis
ter's drawing room.
: "You horrid, proud old thing!" she
was saying. "Why didn't you come
..and claim me years ago? Of course
I always expected you to. And I've
been so lonely and miserable I some
times When I heard yontell all that

A QUEER OCCUPATION.
Gathering? the Down of Catti
.tt.il. i.l
the Jersey Meaaows.
One of the queerest Industries has
grown up on the Hackensack meadows,
an otherwise apparently useless bog
upon which it is unsafe for man or
beast to venture. In the summer cer
tain parts of the meadows are covered
with a dense growth of cattails. They
grow particularly rank and large.
Sometimes the tail, or furry part. Is a
foot or more long and thick In propor
tion. The light, furry down Is long
and soft, bearing a close resemblance
to down when first taken from the
stalk.
Certain people always more or less
quick to see the advantages of a waste
product have begun gathering the seed
down from cattails and are making It
a considerable business. Just before
the Ice- is gone in the spring Is the
time selected. Provided with, a large
lek in which to store the feathery
products, the gatherer goes about
among.tbe tall flags, pulls off the down.
deposits It In his sack and takes It
home. It Is not a particularly pleasant
piece of work, because the little bits of
down fly all over one, getting n the
eyes, the nose, the mouth and ears, and
completely cover one's clothing. But
It furnishes work, and men and women
dolt
It is taken from the sack, carefully
spread -where It will dry thoroughly.
and It Is theuready to be used In pil
lows or whCrever else genuine animal
down is advisable. It doesn't last long,
because Its fibers lack elasticity, but
for a time the pillow will be as soft as
any.
Those who gather It make reasona
bly fair pay at it. though hardly enough
when the dauger and the disagreeable
character of the work are considered.

"Zanzibar,; said Robert Crawford,
"to the greatest market for South Afri
can Ivory, which is brought there la
large quantities from the Interior.
This Ivory is placed Li large ware
houses from which It is either sold at
once or else held therein for a better
market. Thg man In charge of these
warehouses was a very Interesting
character, an expert In Ivory. He told
me many curious things about It and
among others propounded the following
theory as an explanation of why ele
phants go mad and occasionally run
amuck.
"In the warehouse were a. pair of
magnificent tusks, measuring fully 14
feet from tip to tip, which In life must
have been carried by a veritable Go
llah among elephants.-. The expert la
showing me these tusks pointed out the
fact that while one was complete and
flawless the other was broken off at
the point' and showed deep scratches
and abrasions throughout Its length.
Now,' said he, 'if you will look
near the base you will find a hole
made by decay that had struck Into
the nerves and given that elephant a
toothache. And think what a tooth
ache of toothaches a 14 foot tooth must
have held. In his effort to relieve this
pain the elephant rubbed his tusk
against rocks and trees and drove it
into the earth, which mutilated It In
the manner you see here. I have fre
quently come across places where an
elephant has ripped up great spaces In
the forest and torn down the trees, and
I am positive that toothache was the
cause of this freusy.

A TRIUMPH OF SURGERY.
The Case ox a ltaa Wis Swallewe

A case recorded In the Boston Med
ical and Surgjeal Journal by Dr. M.
LL Richardson Is a remarkable exam
ple of the extraordinary feats In swal
lowing foreign bodies sometimes per
formed by men.
A man. aged 29 years, was admitted
to the hospital, ne said that two
weeks previously, while he waa in a
despondent state, he had endeavored to
swallow his suspenders and had suc
ceeded In getting down certain por
tions, but bow much he had swallowed
he could not tell. He did not complain
of ( pain, but rather of discomfort un
der the breast while eating. The food
at times passed easily into the stom
ach. At other times It was regurgitat
ed Immediately. Nothing could be seen
In the throat With a probe some ob
struction was felt
A skiagram showed a suspender
buckle at the middle of the chest and
possibly another higher up. As the
chief clanger m esophageal Impaction
Is from ulceration Into the great Tea
sels, especially when the foreign body
has sharp edges, and, as fatal erosion
usually takes place In two weeks or
less. It was concluded that If there
was any erosion It was sufficiently ad
vanced to make even the most careful
manipulation dangerous. The problem
was how to perform extraction with
out producing fatal hemorrhage
The throat was opened, and with a
pair of forceps, a string attached to a
brass ring and then half a suspender
with two buckles and finally a third
buckle were removed. A pro bang was
passed Into the stomach without meet
ing with further obstruction. .
The wound was closed with silk
sutures, and recovery ensued.
