To the great disappointnient of all sllorl. lovers the ice races on Satur- dny next failed to fill. The only en- try ili the 3 minute trot was P. i-looper's- Miss Wrigley- an almost

ibility whom the o\vner

was willing to place in the race to make all aftern0on's sport. It was flllly expected that the many fast ones of which the owners have been so elitliusiastic over would appear but probably they are not quite in condition and will make up a race later oil. It is so much more satisfac- tory to the public to have the rela- tlvc merits of the different horses settled. The 3 minute pace had four entries, George R.-owned by H. C. Hooper, Prince George owned by If. ll. Nicholson Lena Wood owned by I1.,J. Steele, and Jack owned by li. Pickard. Another effort will be made to get classes fillcd for Saturday wcek,~Feb_ 10th. In the meantime the "speedway" will he kept in good condition and the series of races for "‘lun" every afternoon will continue to be held as before. Contributions towards its upkeep are coming in daily, hilt “tlirdy ones" who are us-. ing it are reminded that its life will br. sllort unless the fund is consider- ably nugumented as every storm means a big outlay.

Lust evening in the Salvation Army Hall A. A. Bartlett delivered in his cllstomai-y mnsterly manner his lecture on "Sicily" to a large audi- ence. His lecture, in which the au- eient Island was so vividly and gra- phically described, was listened to with keen appreciation and at the conclusion a hearty vote of thanks was moved by Rev. R. G. Strathie, seconded hy Rev. T. F. Fullerton and tendered by the chairman, James Mc- Donald. The value of the lecture as an educational medium was enhanced by over 100 stereoptican views, the slides for which were manipulated by Walter Burke.

Full arrangements have been com-

pleted for a. wrestling match to take place here on Monday night next, between Jim Smart the English champion and Jim Prokas the Greek wrestler of Boston.

The untimely removal of l.he cook offered a tempting oppor- tunity for a nice, sod, weepy funeral; and in due course the corpse of the cook, sewed in a hammock and drap- ed with the Stars and Stripes, was hroilght up and laid' out on deck.

"There she blows!" "Where away?" bellowed the skipp-

WATCH YOUR EYES.

Many people between the ages of

forty and fifty who feel the need of reading glasses either refuse or post- pone wearlng them. There ls no great- ermistake (says the Family Doctor). It is Lbhyslologlcsl fact that at s.- bout the age'of forty-nve years the crystalline lens loses some of its clas- ticlty; it loses more as age advances, so that even under accommodation it cannot become convex as it did he- forc, consequently this convexlty (needed for reading) must besupplied artificially ~by means of spectacles.

Prof. E. P. Evans wrote in 1895 of

its use in D:-ilmafia, where .in some districls it was still customary lo throw al1`the women into the water on a specified day io see whether they would sink or swim.

In the city of Charleston during the

I den. She was not one of the delicate, , willowy creatures of whom poets love L to sing, but a magnificently formed, tlill

lwomnn with a. remarkably handsome ifzice. Though the year was nearly I spent, the leaves on the trees had not 1 yet ull fallen, and a balmy breeze came 1 up from the south. '1`no g:irdeu'1uto l which lsiargnl-cc Lemons locked ac. longed to an adjoining house, and two gentlemen were smoking on u rustic bench almost directly beneath the win- dow she'oecuplcd. They were both » young men of the world and were chat- l ting about social matters. Charles Thi- badeaux was speaking.

“The northern city I most fancy in

Ainerfcll," he said, “is New York. At V least it is to me less objectionable, puri- lnnlcnlly considered, than other north- ern cities. But my delight ls our own beloved New Orleans. in the Crescent City the men are brave to recklessucss und the women are beautiful. l spent lust winter there."

“Who was the most beautiful woman

_ in New Orleans society last winter?" asked the speakcr’s companion, Ed- ward Remington.

“The most beautiful woman, to my

thinking, was Q widow-a Mrs. Le~ l molne. Though nearly forty, she retain- ed her youthful appearance. She was a queenly beauty, lull, splendldly formed land 'with a face devoid of a single wrinkle. But I um sorry to say there 1 were unpleasant things said about her. E Some past indlscreiiou had cast u _ blemish upon her good name."

Margaret Lemoiue paid no attention

l to what the young men were saying till she heard her mothers name spoken; then naturally she pricked up her ears. When she heard tho :ls- persloncast upon her mother’s good name the blood rushed to her cheeks land her eyes lit with li sudden fire. 5 She leaned forward to hurl back the

i accusation, but words failed her. The :young men, unconscious of what was i above them, smoked on. Miss Lemolne l withdrew from the window and began

l to pace the floor.

“lt is time" she said, “that this

woman‘s slandercrs received u check.

| Hastily folding the paper on which , this communication was inconsider- ,atc-ly written, Margaret went to the ‘ window and tossed it ut the feet of the young men. Both reached for it. but Thibadeunx secured lt. Then nfter

1 a glance upward and with no sight of any one who might have thrown it he l rend its contents nlond to his friend. ,The two looked at each other with l a serious expression.

“Ned,” said Thlblldeilnx presently. I dou't like the situation.” “Nor I. In listening to your re-

, marks I ern ns culpable as you who 3 ha\'e made them."

“You have nothing to do with the

mailer. The responsibility rests on me."

After e conference it was decided

that Thlbudeuux should write li note to this Mark Renard, whoever he might hc, und it should be left at the

1 door of the house from which the note had been thrown. It sold that the V writer acknowledged himself io be lblnmublo in repeating rl scruidlil fori which he had no proof and apologized therefor. lf after this apology Mr. Renard still insisted on ll meeting his demand could not be denied. A reply would be looked for the next lifter- lnoon, selit in the same way us the first message. . Naturally Thibadeaux was desirous!

of knowing something of the inyste-l lions challenger. Early in the after- lloon appointed for the reply he took position behind the blinds of A win- dow commanding a view of the house, from whence it should come. ln time , he saw a shutter open just far enough for a hand to pliss through and toss a note on to the bench on which he had sat the day before. The distance was too great for him to discover that the hand was delicately formed, but he saw something that astonished him. The sunlight striking it was sent buck ln li bright flash. Evidently Mr. Ilo- nnrd wore rl jeweled ring.

lilen seldom wear rings unless they

ure seals, which are not likely to spur- kle. Therefore Charles Thlbsdenux was not long in divinlnl; that his correspondent was a woman. All thoughts of a bloody encounter van- ished. and ln their place came s de- , sire to know more of his fair chal- l lenlzen Ile slinntered into the garden,

satisfaction.

Thlbadeaux after much thought

threw the note down, laying to him-

self:

“The satisfaction I will _give you, dear ludy, fl’ I find you as attractive as my imagination paints you, is nn- ofher ring to be worn on the third

finger of your left hand.”

The young man mused on, consider- ing every possible method ot pro- cedure. At first he was inclined to meet his challenger on the held and there make it known that he knew her sex. But he feared that sho might be further irritated. Before the day was done ho had decided on his

course. Ile wrote her as follows:

It is not by receiving your fire, my dolf

slr, that I can atono for my fault. hut by hunting down the perpetrator of this lean-» dlil. I received it from a woman and am confident lt originated In a, woman. If within three months I do not bring you I retraction from its originator I will not deny you the satisfaction you demand. I shall look for your reply at the same hour

l0Il'lOI`l‘0W.

The next afternoon 'rhibsdelinx watched Miss Lemoino’s window through a pnlr of glasses and saw the -hand much more clearly than before. This time the note was thrown by the

left hand. _

"Not married and not engaged," the watciler remarked to himself with satisfaction. “1'm pleased to notice

that the third finger is unoccupied."

The note had evidently been written

in un exuberance of delight and Wal

consequently u dead give away.

Your proposition is accepted. You hlvc

shown yourself to be a noble msn. If I were n woman 1'm sure I should fall in

love with you.

_“Thank you," remarked Thlhsdeanx. "That's exactly what I »,W1sb you to

do."

After writing one more note, stating

that he was leaving for New Orleans und hoped within the specified time to bring the vindication, he made

ready for his departure.

But tivo of the three months had

elapsed when Miss Lemolne received the following note from the man who

was to quushthe slander or iight:

I hand you herewith an acknowledg-

ment trom Miss Lemolne’s traducer that there was no truth ln the story she cir- culated. I am sorry, however, lo admit, my dear slr, that your good opinion of me expressed in s letter written before my departure was misplaced. 1 acquired this retraction by dlshonorablo means. I .mode love to the woman who wrote ft. accused her cf mlsrepresenting the fact! in this cuss and agreed to forgive her only upon her written confession. I am

yours unworthlly, _

CHARLES F. THIBADEAUX.

Having dispatched this self accusing

epistle, the writer waited impatiently

for a reply. It was this:

I assure you, slr, that by your conduct

you have not only relieved me and tho subject of filo confession of a burden, but you have shown yourself, notwithstanding’ your own opinion of your acl, too honor- able, too lovely, for anything. Your de- ception was perfectly excusabla I shall :ilrvnys respect and admire you for it. It is needless for me to add that mY shal-

lenge is withdrawn. Thlbadeuux chuckled over this letter with its nnlnlike beginning and its feminine ending. Ile was anxious to get rl glimpse of this lady who had sent lliln li chnllenge to mortal combat and thus declared that she respected and n<imlred him for an act upon which his sensitive conscience was not quite clear. So he wrote another note, beg- ging that he might meet Mr. Renard and apologize in person for the wrong

he had done in reporting a slander.

Thlbadcnux had resided in Charles-

ton but al few days before receiving tho challenge, and after sending it Miss Lelnolno had kept herself very dark. Then ho had left Charleston, und upon his return his enemy had gone again into hiding. Consequently he was still in ignorance as to whether sho were an aged spinsier or a young girl, whether comely or homely. Therefore he was much relieved and pleased at receiving a note that Mr., Renard would "be happy to receive li cnll from Mr. Thlbudenux on the next afternoon at 5 o'clock." They could drink u cup of tea together, and M r. Renard could express his sense of obligation to Mr. Thiba- dcaux tor the vindication he had pro-

cured.

Since Mr. Thlhuderlux never drank

anything weaker than wine. the offer of ten wus not as alluring as the an~ ill-ipated vision of the woman who had brought about the approaching ‘ac- quaintance by proposing to kill him. On the appointed nflei-noon he called
