‘THE INFLUENCE OF A FACE. AH. THE potent power of a single face—even of a married face— upon the one who, beholding it, understandingly and respon- sively reads! Recently I wc. a greatly perturbed state of mind. I was running for a Milwaukee train at the Chicago Union station, and I feared I was late. In an agony of suspense and mental anguish, with protruding eyes and gaping mouth, I labored on with what speed I might while burdened down with heavy grips. While I was thus suffering and making my suffering noticeable to the most casual observer, I suddenly saw a face—a placid, com- mon face—but it bore a message of courage and hope for me. It made me ashamed, instantly, that I was perturbed or anguished in spirit over so small a thing as the prospect of missing a train. My features relaxed ; my eyes returned to the vicinity of their sockets; my mouth came shut like a steel trap whose spring has suddenly been released. Calm entered my spirit; my pace slack- ened.

Fatty laughed scornfully. “ W'at youse thinkin’ about? Makin’ presents ?” and he kicked at the tail of Skinny’s ragged coat. “Sure, | was.
