MISSING

Tt l» «M that In New York nn «r«fof one |wn>on ■ <lny di«uj>iHwr». I ■in one of Ibtme I uiyAterloa»!y dUa|i|H>artxI live yeura uj;o and bare never kliife been beard from, yet I Lave vUlled rhe pla'-e from wlilcb I vanished; I have walked |taat the , huune; l have looked In at the window. A polli-eninn who rr.lgfit have reaped a large reward had be known me wa» Idly iMitrollh.g hla beat. 1 fled 10 eiteaiM* from a man I wax •bout to marry. Cheater Burnham was t refined p-ntlemnu, of suitable age for me and doing an excellent huaineaa. 1 was uncertain In my fi-ellng* when I accepted him, but the more I analysed them the more I became convinced that I did not love him. My conception of love wax that It wax a pleaxurable disease, If I may be allowed the expression, the symptoms of which were wanting In my case. A repugnance not to Chester ButStham. but to entering Into wedlock without this condition or disease or what not. took iMMsosslon of me und drove me well nigh frantic. I m> far it otf. or. rather, 1 could not do so and face eitlter my fiance or thy frlenda. The evening before the wedding I was In a condition to do something dexperate, and I did. I snatched up my purse and my Jewels, walked out of the bouse, went to a railway station, took the first train that left and landed the next morning I knew not where, only that I wax In a city many mllee from my home. I had nearly $100 and Jewels worth several thousand. Of course I soon awoke to the fact that I had made a move Idiotic, wicked. Irreparable, but I had no thought of returning. I examined my feelings for the man from whom 1 had fled, but could detect no great change. I regret - ted h0 v h>K treated him so abominably, and as I thought over his traits it seemed to me that be was far above the average man. It was not long before I began to miss bis acts of kindness, his attentions, even his endearments. yet this, at least to my mind, was not love. I was a girl of nineteen, with an analytical mind. That was five years ago, and I am stlD among the missing. I have made acquaintances and fyiend*. I have met men. but none for whom I bare felt that subtle something which. Is my Idea of love. None of them has seeme<k In any way equal to Chester. How often I have wished to sit down with him and bear one of his practical, common sense talks! How lucky be was to get rid of me! I wonder If b~ la engaged again or married? Chester Burnham has failed In business I saw the announcement In a newspaper, r wish that I might see him. comfort him. “Comfort scorned of devils." What right would I have to comfort him? Tlie desire to see him. If only once, was too strong to be resisted. From ray knowledge of him I was sure he would bear his misfortune bravely. Then I remembered that he was within a few years of forty, and I have heard that a man who breaks down in business at that age seldom recovers. He will recover. He Is all strength and Intellect. « • ••••• • I arrived yesterday afternoon, and so yrreat was my Impatience that 1 went to the house where he had lived when 1 tied from him and loitered near, thinking to see him when he came In Just before dinner. A few minutes after 6 I saw him coming. But. oh. how changed! His hair, that had been a glossy black, was almost white. Instead of the strength I had expected to see In bis face there was an expression of infinite sadness. What curious creatures we women are, even ap Ume< to ourselves! All my feelings toward Chester Burnham I bad gjjjgfctcrptWed. When be was prosperon* I fled from him. When I beard that be had failed I thought I should be drawn to him at seeing him override his misfortune. Now that I found a -blight on him—a blight which I bad in part doubtless caflssd—1 wanted to go to him and put my arms about

[ dared approach him I don’t could not help It, though 1 ex i to stab me. I was thickly

the Inceetlrs for the mss 1 Injured i» get again on his fast to mlnUter to hi» every need, to love him devoledly. What U ray Ides of love today? Well, the little r*d 1/is many arrows They all, shoot love. Fut none of 11'em shoots an awakening of love. It wax this awakening Mint I needed. HKHSIF. CHACE HA TOUT.

OIS As* Throrlat Sara Professors SboolS Hav* Mors Tl«ur to Thlak. Dr. William Osier of Baltimore, who Is to be reglus professor at Oxford university, sjH-akluK at the annual dinner of the MciJIU University Alumni association at tbs Hotel Imjierlol In New York the other night, mailed the time when he held hla first professorship In ♦be Montreal Medical college, says the New York Herald He told about going to MctilU In 1870, where hf was appointed to the chair of medicine When be was twenty-four years old. ' “For what I have accomplished in medicine,” said Dr. Osier, T have to thank the old Montreal General hospital, with Its unclean wards. Borne of the best work of the world Is done amid the poorest surroundings. McGill Improved since those days, end the Boy a I Victoria hospital, which now affords clinical facilities. Is one of the finest hospitals on this continent. "In this country we are Inclined to work our professors too hard. They do not have time to think. It Is s better plan to follow the German method and that followed In some English universities and give the professors time to think." Dr. Osier said that one trouble with McGill and other Canadian colleges Is that their graduates all come to the United States. Why don’t some of you stay at homer said he. "Why all this talk about annexation of Canada when we are annexing so much In this country? Above all things, stop fringing Canadian girls over here. I am told that there are towns In Canada without a marriageable girl In them. The birth rate of the province of Ontario has progressively decreased for years.'' 'How about Quebec?” asked one of the diners. "Quebec Is different" said Dr. Osier. “You couldn’t diminish the birth rate there If you wanted to." Dr. H. N. Vlnepnrg. president of the New York McGill Alumni society, preded. A farewell ode to Dr. Osier was sung by his classmates, ending with these llnsa: At duty's call you leave us To be aa Oxford don: •Tl* honor to us all. Will. To see our boy “get on." No maiden Is more modest And we love you for that too. Knowing all your great achievement And your heart so stanch and true: Tut we know you’ll fight for right there. So when the time shall come. Though. Willi*, a-e shall miss you. We’ll welcome you home!
