In spite ot his poses and his affections he was still a man, though he frequently overlooked the "Miss Trelawney," he began, in a voice that almost made him jump. _ "If you would tell me of whom you are talking I should be glad. There are times when even I find that my work demands the whole of my attention." "I was speaking," said the lady, with m a shade of embarrassment, "~* Lady T'i“."

You think she is?" she ci%ed. ‘The painter‘s {ace took on a mild perâ€" plexity. Could it be that he had not said the proper thing. However, as it was never his way to confront a difficulty, but rather to evade it gracefully, he flung out his hand in pained remonâ€" @strange., 4 "Oh, please," he implored, "don‘t talk." Then, as quickly as he thought conâ€" sistent with the dignity of his expresâ€" sion, he smiled again. "Now," he cried, sweetly, "I want you to smile, The faintest, tiniest, most beâ€" witehing little smile that the most beâ€" witching of women can invent," and at «emch J}nfin he gave the brush a tiny wave. And, indeed, the simile applied. _ For wherever his request had landed, it was somewhere very wide of the mark. In short, instead of doing what he had so engugingly requested the lady was gazâ€" 8o, with the brush poised in midâ€"air, and his head thrown slightly back, he assumed a dazzling smile. It was one of his most effective poses; there were unkind pootl:.-wbo said that his repuâ€" tation had i built up on such poses. But just as he smiled it occurred to him that he had not answered her quesâ€" tion. What it was he had forgotten, and, of course, it would never do to ask her to repeat it. When he had spoken, his own smile Taded, :o'rflllg slowly into a look of blank derment. Such a look might a markeman have assumed who, expectâ€" Ing a bull, had missed the target. But first the magnificent creature must be induced to smile. As a rule he did not trouble about such preeauâ€" tions, but Miss Trelawney was a great personage, and consequently art deâ€" manded for her an especial frdolity. * However, he fancied that it had been of a somewhat positive and affirmative mature, and surely that was sufficient.

"Oh,. please don‘t move!" he entreated. ‘The head came slowly down again. "There, that‘s splendid. Now, please keep quite still." He spoke as though she were a child, and went on painting. At length, when he was satisfied, or as satisfied as a painter has any right to be, he changed his brushes, The left eve was finished. It was an imperious mouth, rather too full, pnhr, and just a shade too l"f; but, still, by no means unworthy of his genins.

When sitting behind the dealer he would glance over two hands and then offer to bet any amount from a dollar to five hundred on the odd trick, at the same time pulling out an immense roll of greenbacks and licking his right thumb, as if ready to count off any amâ€" ount desired. It was with evident reluetance that Mr. Carroll left the bridge table and setâ€" tled down in accormer to try his old standby. \Mr. Smith made a wry face at the way that moistoned thomb was apâ€" plied to the cards, just as it had heea to the greenbacks, but as the atake was to be $5 a corner and he knew how to turn a jack from the bottom and was even ntm enough to ring in a cold During the course of the explanations which the dummy or the onlookers were good enough to give him while dodging his rejected tobaceo juice it developed that Mr. Carroll‘s appreciation of any game depended entirely on its merits or demerits when compared to his standard of excellence, seven up. He was enver tired of insiating that seven up was the greatest game ever invented. At first Mr. Carroll did not take the hint, but the others helped Mr, Sraith out by saying: "There‘s your chance, Mr. Carroll, You‘ve been blowing about your skill at seven up ever sigee we started. Take Mr. Smith on for a game or iwo and show hbim how you play it in Missouri." It took Mr. Carroll at least two days to get the hang of the declarations and the niroes ##,nhd Orarn8i®(If *1balMr e the scoring, and he soon realized that the picce de resistance was the no trumpâ€" er. Whenever such & declaration pulled itself out of a small hole or made a grand slam he would comb his whiskers vigorously and exclaim :"Well, I swan, but this here game‘s most as good as seven up." After some discussion one of the trio, a Mr. Smith. who was quite as good a bridge shuffler as the others, suggested that he would invite the hayseed to try a game of seven up, in which game he felt sure he could give a very good acâ€" count of himself. Accordingly, when the bridge game began and Mr. Carroll dropped into his accustomed seat and began to comb out his whiskers in anticipation Mr. Smith made some remark about being cut out of the first rubber and wishing he could play a game of euchre or seven up or something to pass the time. From the first time that the bridgo game was started this peculiar passenâ€" ger, who was down on the list as Mr. Carrol, of Marshail, Mo., was the most interested spectator, Although he "al lowed" he had never seen the game beâ€" fore he had "hearn tell of it." Seven up was his game, he said, and he "allowed" he could beat any man on the boat "playing of it." 4 e wore a rather seedy looking suit of grey, which he never changed during the voyage, but he always had on a clean shirt, although it was surmounted by a celluloid colfiur and a ten cent ready made tie of the butterfly persuasion. Fxggept in the dining room he was never without his hat, which was of the alouch variety, and his only vice appeared to be an inordinate love of chewing tobacco. The poker games in the corners had no attractions for him. He had seen that game off and on for nigh on fifty years, he said. "But this here game where one fellow puts down his cards and lets you play ‘em" seemed to take his fancy from the start. Allowing the dealer to make a trump after he had seen his cards seemed ‘most too liberal to be lrort, but he allowed it might be all right. The sixpence a point game being once hirl{ under way and the gamblers being eareful not to push their luek too haprd, it looked as if they could pay their exâ€" penses for the voyage and leave the last day for the grand coup which would supâ€" ply them with velvet for shore leave, especially as the blond woman was parâ€" ticularly fortunate in getting acquainted with passengers who fancied themselyes bridge players. e AM”L the inevitable spectators in the smoking room was one who seemed to be of the genus hayseed. He looked to be 60, with straggling grey whisâ€" kers, which he energetically combed out #with his fingers whenever he got particâ€" ularly interested in anything. _ The usual complement of two or three professional gamblers was on board, with a very stylish looking blond woman to assist them in the matter of making acquaintances, _ About the second day out they had succeeded in getting up a little game of bridge for the modest points of tem shillings a hundred, and !he{ were careful to play badly enough to lay the foundation for their revenge later on at higher points. A little comedy was acted out in the smoking room of one of the ocean greyâ€" hounds recently which might have «fâ€" forded considerable amusement to the passengers in general and would have given great satisfaction to one or two of them in particular had they known it was going on.

He did not care anything about the money and offered to give back to Mr. Smith whatâ€" ever he thought he had lost, but for his part he would rather look on at aâ€"game of bridge than eat. To mne C ooo Coe‘ After lunch the seven up . players sought out a secluded corner of the smoking room and resumed their game, but upon this occasion somehow or othâ€" er things did not work so well for Mr. Smith. Full of confidenceée that he could beat any run of luck by skillful shuffling, Mr. Smith was cager to resume the game the next morning. Mr. Carroll was equally willing and hastened to secure their acâ€" customed place, where the light was particularly good in daytime. _ He also had a proposition to make. A very unpleasant experience was in store for Mr. Smith, which disconcerted him to such an extent that he hardly knew what he was doing for a few deals. Mr. Carroll began to get off seme funny stories, apparently quite forgetting the scrious nature of the game he was playâ€" ing and the amount depeading on it, and while he was laughing over the climax of his joke himself he absentmindediy "Wolh J «s Swifle ‘em thyis time." As the three gamblers did not sit toâ€" gother at table and otherwise did their best to create the impression that they had never met before this trip they had to wait for the promenade deck and the cigars to learn of Mr. Smith‘s good forâ€" tune. They at once agreed that he was doing much better than the bridge game, in which the victims were getting a litâ€" tle shy, perhaps because one man who had had a hundred aces held against him four times in one afternoon was talking about it too much,. R The gentleman from Missouri seemed to have an extraordinary run of luck in the matter of giving a point or running the cards. Every time Mr. Smith would beg with a sure point in his hana the cards would be run without a moment‘s hesitation. Every time he found himâ€" self withou%; trump the same alacrity would be shown in giving him a point, although Mr. Carroll turned out to have had nothing in his own hand but the lone jack when he gave it. When the bell rang for dinner Mr. Emith had to go over â€" to the bridge table and borrow money enough to pay Mr. Carroll $800. Nr. Smith had been good enough to raise the stake from five dollars to a hundred in order that Mr. Carroli might have a chance to get even more quickly. How about making this game for twoâ€" fifty, or even five hundred, if Mr. Smith thought that he was behind?, To this proposition Mr, Carroll assent. ed with an air that suggested that the matter was too trifling to waste any time over. asserting that it was all the same to him whether he played for five dollars or five hundred. While Mr. Smith did his best to conceal his satisâ€" faction at such an announcement he still had presence of mind enough to propose that they should make it a hundred. | By the time the lunch bell rang Mr. Smith had the pleasure of closing his fingers around three nice new hundred dollar bills, he baving won four games out of five. "Agreed. With pleasure. Let us make it five hundred." ~~ The next day, an hour or two before luncheon, Mr. Smith succeeded in getâ€" ting Mr. Carroll into another game of seven up and he proposed, just to give him an opportunity to get even more quickly, to make it for fifty dollars. But after dinner he found that Mz. Carroll was very anxious to watch the bridge game agkin and obstinate in his resolve to play no more seven up that night. Arguments and inducements were alike in vain. The chin whiskers were combed out with renewed energy and emphatic declarations were made in favor of the bridge table. Mr. Smith confided to his partners that he thought he had a good enough thing in the seven up game and would leave the bridge to them as long as Mr. Carroll lasted. He also mentioned casuâ€" ally that the hayseed had skinned his thirty doilars off a roll that appeared to contain at least five hundred, and that he proposed to raise the stakes afâ€" ter dinner. That Mr. Carroll knew ail the points of the game of seven up was evident. He knew when to beg with both high and low in his hand and when to stand with two average trumps, in fact he begged less than any person that Mr. Smith had ever played against; but that he could beat the skilful shufflin; of his opponent was not to be expectecf, and Mr. Smith had no difficulty in mixâ€" ing his luck sufficiently to finish the afâ€" ternoon with nine games out of twelve to his credit. deck with the "high hand" get up in it he thought he could afford to put up with the hayseed‘s idiosynerasies }:;r the sake of handling a little of his wad. cards instead _ of cutting en Air.

To his astonishment his partner was standing about twenty feet away, with his eyes as big as saucers and his mouth wide open. Mr, Carroll seemed to catch sight of him about the same time and dropped the cards he was shuffling to place his hands on bis knees and ehen in his pockâ€" ets. The other man staggered up to his friend Smith and whispered in his ear: Accordingly the two men sat down to play after luncheon for five hundred dellars a game, Mr. Smith being grimly determined to win. But in spite of anyâ€" thing he could do the gentieman from Missouri beat him out by giving him a point when he begged with ‘:fle king and four of the turned suit in his hand. Mr. Carrol} keld the ace and dence and made the game, too. He almost always made the point for game. It was finally arranged that the seven up game should be resumed that afterâ€" noon for five hundred a corner and that after the first game, win or lose, one of the partners at the bridge table should take advantage of being dummy to stroll over to the seven up table and distract Mr. Carroll‘s attention for a moment while Mr. Smith rang in a high hand on him. Perhaps they eould clean up a couple of thousand. In this supposition he was very nearly correct, but in the hurried consultation after luncheon it was agreed that he must get his money back somehow, the blond woman being particularly insiatent on going ashore with plenty of sugar in the kick, as she expressed it.

Later as these symptoms developed my tongue was heavily coated, especialâ€" ly in the morning, and I felt particularly dull. _ My appetite began to dwindle, and even a light meal left me with a sense of having eaten too much,. As I grew worse I ate barely enough to susâ€" tain my body, but still experienced the most acute pains. A wretched languor came over me which I could not throw off. 1t seemed as if I were always tired, with but little strength and frequent violent headaches. The remedicgsgiven me failed to restore me, or even to reâ€" lieve me, I was in this unhappy state for almost a year when I read in a newspaper one day of the cure in a case similar to mine through the use of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. _ This decided me to give these Pills a trial. It was not long before I felt some relief from the distress after meals, and as I continued the use of the Pills all languor and drowsiness and headaches left me and I began to enjoy increased energy and new strength. Toâ€"day I am a well man, enjoying the best of health, with never a twinge of the old trouble, and I attriâ€" bute my cure entirely to the fair use of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pill«." There is no medicine can equal Dr. Williams‘ Pink PiMs for stomach trouâ€" bles. These Pills are not an artificial appetizer nor a stimulant. They act in nature‘s own way by making rich, red blood. This new blood gives vigor to all the organs. When it flows through the tiny veins in the stomach it stimulates them and creates that craving which people call "appetite." Then when the appetite is satisfied with food the blood gives the stomach strength to digest it. The nourishment is absorbed by . the blood, and varried to very organ in the body. That is how Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills cure stomach troubles and _ all blood diseases. That is how they give health and strength to weak, worn out people. 6 h Ti ‘‘There‘s so much in the world that‘s deâ€" ceitful an‘ wrong," Said ould Matt‘ew Moran, ‘‘Tis a blessin‘, indeed, to be took whin ye‘re young, Like a dacint young man.

Once More from The Great West Britain‘s Marine Supremacy. (N. Y, Journal of Commerce.) One of the most persistent imisrepreâ€" sentations of the subsidists is that the merchant marine of Great Britain and Germany, the two mations that domâ€" inate the commerce of the sea, is susâ€" tained by subsidies. It is admitted that on account of the wide extent of the British Empire and the vast navy that it is bound to maintain, the Governâ€" ment of the United Kingdom does conâ€" tribute to the support of certain lines of mail stcamships which have to be fitted at extra expense for auxiliary naval vessels and are liable to be taken by the government for such service. Ro far as there might be just ground for a similar policy in this country it would not be objected to. But these mail and uvaval subventions do not apâ€" ply to more than about 5 per cent. of the British tonnage and in no degree do they account for the snccess of the comâ€" mercial marine of the empire. That owes its existence and prosperity to its freeâ€" dom from trammels which were . reâ€" moved long ago by the mbolition of the old navigation laws that sought to conâ€" fine the British flag to British built vessels. The only subsidy granted by the German Government is for mail communication to Africa, Australia and the Orient. Only one line mms that and it has not proved profitable either to the shipping or to German trade with that part of the world. The development of the German merchant marine began with freedom to buy ships or have them built where it would cost least and to get the materials for building them free of tax. The merâ€" chant marine of both those nations is free from all restrictions that are not necessary to safety and the _ proper treatment of crews. Comes Evidence of the Great Work Dodd‘s Kigâ€" ney Pills are Doing. While the shipping of these countries has been growing that of the United States has been languishing because it has no such freedom, but is so hamâ€" pered with restrictions that it cannot compete on the ocean, where there is no escape from competition. The hardening is caused, as in the ease of ordinary samdâ€"lime brick, says the Scientific American, by the combinâ€" alion of the lime with the silica of the clinkers, at the high temperature of the steamer. _ The quality of the Nelson garbage brick is equal to that of good hblue Staffordshire brick, except that it is rather more hygroscopic. Laige bmilding blocks and pavement tiles are made by similar processes. English Process Which Turns Garbage Into Useful Building Blocks. At Woolwich and at Nelson, Nngland, garbage is incinerated in furnaces. The combustion gases, after heating boilers in which steam is produced for the genâ€" eration of an electric lighting current, flow through tubes surrounded by air, which is thus heated to 300 degrees F., and is then blown through the furnaces. The operation leaves a large quantity of clinkers, composed of silica, alumins, lime and iron, with a litttle magnesia, potash and soda, which is utilized in making sandâ€"lime brick. _ ‘The ground clinkers are mixed with quickâ€"Jime and about 10 per cent. of water, to form a soft mortar, which is stored in brick cisterns for a day or two to insure the complete slaking of the lime, and then goes to the brickâ€"making machine. The fresh bricks are placed in closed versels and subjected for eight or ten hours to the action of steam at eight atao« pheres pressure, When takea out the bricks are sufficiently hard for imme diate use.
