Not only that, but (by spoiling meats and provisions) he is a fac- tor in the high cost of liv- ing, a breeder and carrier of disease, and altogether constitutes a civic problem of a peculiarly exasper- ating and bnffling nature. Similar compliments have been paid to the mosquito, but the ‘skeet will listen to reason, and in some cases yield a point or two to scientific processes of ex- termination. For instance, Dr. Doty has successfully demonstrated on Staten Island that by draining swamps, screening rain barrels and preventing stagnant water from standing about it is possible to prac- tically wipe ont the mosquito pest from considerable districts, Not 80 the fly pest. Flies breed wherever there is garbage or animal refuse, and screens, traps, fly-paper and poisons make little or no impression on their numbers. The only hint they will take is abso- lute cleanliness, and even that is ineffectual until horses shall become extinct.

They had been childhood sweethearts and she adored him. During the Duke's absence from France Claire chanced to meet Philippe Derblay, a rich young {ron master, whose country estate adjoined her mother’s. Derblay fell in love with Claire at sight. But, knowing she was engaged, he made no effort to win her. Word of a double catastrophe reached the Beaulleus one day. The family fortune had been swept away and the Duke had become engaged to another girl. Beset by gambling debts that he could not pay, he had ac- cepted help from a vulgar old multimillionaire named Moulinet, and in re- turn had promised to marry the latter's daughter, Athenais. Claire and Athenais had known and hated each other at school. Her dislike for Athenais made the blow doubly hard for Claire to endure. Sooner than [pose as a cast-off sweetheart she resolved to save her pride at the expense of her heart. She sent for Derblay. “Monsieur,” she said, abruptly, “I am tnformed you would do me the honor to seek my hand in marriage. All donds between the Duke of Rligny and myself are forever severed. I am ready to tender you my hand.” Philippe, overjoyed at such marvellous and unexpected good fortune, doubted not for an instant thet Claire really loved him. Ile thad no suspicion of the frantic girl's real reason for accepting him. But, directly after the wedding, Cinire told Derdlay framkly that she did not care for him, und she let him | know exactly why she had become his wife.

From to-day you exist for me only in name.” | Claire's distress brought on a dangerous Illness. For a month Derblay tended her night and day, When at length he had nursed her back to life and health, he resumed his attitude of cold aloofness toward her, This rendered te | doubly miserable. For now, too mate, she knew she loved her husband with ail her heart and soul, But nothing she could say or do was able to break down is icy reserve. Athenais meantime had married the Duke.

If he has lived to be @ bachelor of thirty or more, I feal sure he knows his way about. All I Ae- sire in to see you married and happy." “I know I twill be happy!" said Mise Mudridge, ecstatically, “Who could not be happy with a perfect character Ike my own dear Jack?" Here Miss Mudridge went through the performance of kissing the engagement solitaire again, Cynics hold that this custom was occasioned by wise virging tasting the diamond to see if it was jum. “Wast till you are married a year and you may not be eo sure of man’s en- gelic nature,” said Mrs. Jerr. “But what can we do to get them out of that dreadful Gus’e place?

But t's quite a respectable place, you know,” said Mrs, Jarr, rallying to the defense of Gus's establishment for the first time in her life. “Well, I suppose I'll have to put up with {t—till we are married, but Just let me see Jack Silver go im sich a place after I am Mrs, Silver!" remarked Miss Mudridge bitingly. “T know @ resort tn the mountains where poison ivy grows, and the first chance I get I am going to hire a boy to collect a box of it and I'll send tt to that man who keeps that saloon !’ “Why, I never thought of that!" sai Mrs. Jarr with interest. “But then and her face clouded, “that Gus ts a stolid person who would not be inter- ested in the message of Nature's love and charm that a ample wildwood plant would bring. He'd probably give ‘t to the man who sweeps out the place and then laugh at him when the poison tvy had him fn a frightful #tate.”’ “Oh, dear, oh, dear! I wish I wasn't bound by my solemn pledge! sighed Mins Mudridge. “I'd renounce Jack ver at once, though I died of a broken heart! But, as I said, I have taken a solemn pledge." “You'd better make Jack Stlver take one,” eaid Mrs, Jarr grimly. “I am be- ginning to feel that 4 not a very 004 aspociate for Mr. Jarr."* “I won't let you talk that way Mies Mudriige. “Well, learn the first duty of a wife and hang out the window and wait for your led-astray innocent, then!" said Mra.
