"This is my parlor, drawing room,

"t,'iuto tidy mid comfortable, is it

"Show rue w here you bathe," said
vVarren, ignoring (iordnu's question.
I showed him my bedroom, iu which

'By gettiug the water yourself or hav

"T Jo everythiup; myself," T re

I use it for drinking, cooking a'ij

''wa water would he better."

j wondered what the old man wa
;omg to do: but as he did not seem
;o w iint to be questioned, I could do
nothing but obey. I knew whatever
he tlid would be for my own good.
His calmness, his authority uud thu
irder he had given ma aroused hopo
(vilhitl me. l'erhups his life's objo.'t
ha l neen attained.
I 'onk twowutcr jars uud stal led for

"Here!" said (Jordon. "Let uietako

will hold water?"
"Ves, take this, if you want to go,
I said, giving him a large, wooden
pail.
AVe carried the w ater into the hotiso
nud poured it into the tub, Warren,
btandiiig by, wutehing us.
"Any more'" I asked. The tub was
nearly a third full.
"Fill it, said," was tho steru
reply.
So wo went again rind onee aaiti.
The tub was nearly full.
Doctor Warren picked nptho bug ho

"(iet me that green package out of

"No, but 1 eun soou make one."
"Do it."
T lighted a fire. Doctor Warren
heated some water in an earthen cup,
mid then poured some of tho contents
of the green package into it. This
he stirred until it was a thick greenish
mass.
Then, taking n package nnd a hottla
rom his own satchel, he ordered ine
into my bath.
"Strip!" he said.
He poured the contents of the hottld
into my bath. The fumes of sulphur
tilled the room, almost choking me.
He then put the green mass iu tho
water and stirred it. A thill vnpor

1 completely immersed myself.

w hen I put my unse out to breathe.
"Like a thousand darts being driven
into me on nil sides," I replied; and so
,t felt.
At ti ex i there had been a sensati iu
if numbness, then a pricking sensa
tion; g'"admilly this changed to actual
pain. The stuff I was in seemed to be
eating its way into my very system.
My muscles sw elled uud burned as if 1
was on tire. My bones .seemed to be
coming apart.
"I Hu disintegrating," I said.
''.So you are," said Wurren. "you
will be a new man from to day."
When I had been in the hath per
haps half (in hour. Warren told ine to

Ami he did give it to me. Iu his
powerful grasp 1 was hut a baby.
Warren mixed some medicine.
"Take a spoonful of this every hour,"
ae sai l. "I'egiil now."
I swallowed the dose, and with dor.
l.ui's help dressed myself. Then I
.ay down, utterly gone, upon my bed.
"Let him rest," said Warren, "(let
Iiie things; we will try a few more."
As I lay there alone, my heart
lit 'oblied with renewed hope. It was
eriuin Warren expected good results
from hi- experiment. His manner
was that of a man who was sure.
1 hiuking of the glorious possibilities
of recovery, of reunion with I'nclo
Tom. uf et.ntiniiing my search for
Winnie, I fell asleep.

The dust clings to one's hair. We do

The views on The American Wom
an and Dress." expressed by Helen
Wattersnii Moody, in the Ladles' Home
loiiriiiil, are based on tbo marked dif
ference iu ihe way the different na
tionalities of women visitors at the
l'aris Kxpositioii lust summer Heated
the problem of clothes. The Knglish
women Were gowned with the utmost
regard for utility nud comfict. The
American and Frenchwomen appeared
in toilets of silk and satin and luce
which properly had no place w hatever
in Ihe Kxpositioii grounds. Hut while
the French women's clothes were as
beautiful as die American women's,
mid fuller of that indescribable charm
called style. I hey were not nearly .-o
cosily. The eol of ilns-siug grows
greater every year, and the shifts of
fashion are iirompicr and more im
perative. Where the Knglish woman
goes plainly dressed with a serene
mind the American woman "keeps up
ivilh the fashion." but lines her face
with anxious thought as to how it
shall lie managed. Our last scnsohV
gown, perfectly fresli tinii just as
pretty mid suitable as ever, are altered
mid reeiil ami reiriiniiied at ihe cost
of so many dollar- and much Mine mid
hard work, not because they need it.
Hot because we wain lo, either, but
simply because Mrs. Wood across ihe
way. and Mrs. Pope iu the next street,
are lining the same thing-and Ihey
me lining it because wc arc! The
truth is, we American women not only
lay too much emphasis upon dress, so
1 1 in l it lakes quite too priimiuelit a
place in our scheme of life, but we
al.-o spend too much money on dress.
