She Couldn't Help It
(Orl#In*l.]
"Jeannette, I have something to say
to you? something Important."
"Say on, uncle."
"The red cottage has been rented for
t rectory. The new rector, young Bit
ting, will llTe there with an older sis
ter."
, "Well J"
"Hands off!"
The expression was perfectly lntellS
ble to Jeannette Howland. She knew
that her uncle forbade her taking up
the rector's attentlou and getting him
Into a state of inlnd wherein he must
either become an accepted suitor or
resign his charge. This she had done
, with tb? last Incumbent, and her uncle,
| who ran the church and was obliged to
| find rectors for It, did not propose to
continue hunting theiu up for her to
render una va liable.
"You needn't fear, uncle. I under
stand Mr. Billing Is a celibate."
"The better game for you."
"Ridiculous!"
"Very well. I warn you that If yon
play your pranks on him and get him
in lore with you you shall marry him.
That's all."
This was serious. Jeannette hadn't
a cent in the world, was an orphan
and heir expectant to her uncle's for
tune. She had seen the young clergy
man and had already made up her
mind to discover whether her powers
of fascination or his resolve was the
stronger. She left her uncle sorely
troubled. She must either give up her
Intention or a fortune or. In case of
success, marry Mr. Bitting. She knew
her passion for what Is commonly call
?d flirting and was not sure of herself.
For a time she conducted herself
with great circumspection, but the
devil, who could never be the devil he
1* unless he knew women well, pro
ceeded to whisper In the ear of Kate
Wlllard. whom Jeannette could not
bear to see step In ahead of her, that
Mr. Bitting would make a desirable
conquest. Miss Wlllard at once began
| to practice those little arts upon the
rector which, though unintelligibly to
mo?t people, were perfectly apparent
to Miss Howland. That settled It.
Even a prospective fortune could Hot
tempt her to forego the doubly exhila
rating pleasure of defeating her rival
and defeating her enemy.
But Mr. Bitting proved a harder nut
to crack thHn most of Jeannette's con
quests, or he at least appeared so.
Jeannette did not work slippers or
make bookmarks or vestments for him;
she chose another course. She let him
severely alone. She did tills, at first
deceiving herself that she was carry
ing out her uncle's wishes. Man. who
aa well as woman is a bit Inconsistent,
wishes to I*' let alone by women who
will not let him alone. Mr. Bitting for
awhile failed to notice that be was
himself unnoticed, but when he did he
wondered, especially since Jeannette
was the only giri in the parish who
treated blm with Indifference. He ask
ed Miss Howland if his coming to the
church was In opposition to her wishes.
"Not at all." she said. "Our lines lie
In different directions. You nre devot
ed to your church duties and to study;
I am fond of sports. * I play tennis,
golf and ride on horseback. What can
we have In common?"
Now, the mini knew perfectly well
that Arthur Bitting while at college
was an athlete, even to contending on
the gridiron. She was not surprised
then when he offered to play with her
[ it either of those innocent games she
iiad mentioned or to ride on bjrsebaek.
Jeannette expressed a preference for
the latter sport and received an invita
tion to ride with the rector the next
morning before breakfast.
ft was a couple of months after this
that Miss Howland received an Invi
tation of another kind? to Join her
uncle In the library. She knew well
enough what It meant, and If she batj,
iny doubt It was dissipated the mo
nent she saw her uncle's frown.
"Jeaunette." he said, "do you remem
ber the warning I gnve yon when Mr.
Bitting came?"
"Yes. uncle."
"You have not heeded It"
"I paid no attention to him; he
sought me."
"If yon hiid treated trim in the usual
manner, he might not have sought
you."
"Then you would have blamed me
for not keeping out of his way."
"It Is useless for yon to try to de
ceive me. Jeauuette. 1 was a witness
yesterday of what occurred when yon
and he were out Jumping your horses
over logs and ditches."
"How could I help it?" said Jean
nette, a blush spreading over her face.
"I saw more than you suspect I was
out myself and was near when you
dashed ahead of him to take the dltcb.
You distanced him. He could not see
you when your horse Jumped the ditch
for the brush on the other side. Be
sides, that side was on lower ground.
1 saw you dismount, fall on the turf
and lie there feigning unconscious
ness."
Jeannette turned away and covered
her face with her bands.
"When Bitting came up. this is what
be saw? your horse nibbling the grass,
you lying as If dead on the grass. He
took you In his arms, cried out In
agony aud covered your face with
kisses. IH> you call that not being
able to help It?"
Jeannette stood mute, with ber back
still turned, her face burled In her
bands.
" "Jeannette," continued her uncle,
?you must marry the rector. If not.
you know the alternative."
She turned with a darning face.
"Never mind the alternative. I accept
ed him on the way home."

(Original]
At the Dllwortb FalrebUd wedding 1
met uiy old college chum Dlsbrow. We
hadn't met since we left college, twen
ty-flve years before, and would not
linve known each other had we not
been introduced. Dlsbrow was known
to me by reputation, for he had become
euilueut In physics. I also followed
science nud have achieved some repu
tation in bacteriology. When the bride
uud groom entered the drawing room
for the ceremouy, Dlsbrow and I fol
lowed.
"What a perfect picture of youthful
beauty!" I whispered to Dlsbrow, re
ferring to the bride.
"How old would you take her to be?"
be asked.
?Twenty-two or twenty-three."
A singular expression passed over |
bis face.
"Do you think her older than that?"
^'Suppose I should tell you she Is |
over forty."
"I would doubt your sanity."
At this point the marriage service
commenced, and our re maris ceased.
When It was over and we bad offered'
our congratulations, Dlsbrow and 1
went to the supper room to partake of |
the delicacies displayed there. Help
ing ourselves, we found a cozy corner |
and sat down to chat and eat.
"Bstwlck," said Dlsbrow to me, "I'm
going to celebrate our meeting after so
many years by lettlug you Into a se
cret. We are brother scientists; there
fore I dou't consider what I am abouf
to tell j?u a breach of confidence, or,
rather, 1 consider the professional con
flileuee superior to the Individual obll
gatlon. Do you understand?"
"Perfectly."
"Well, the girl we have Just seen
married Is forty-two years old."
I gave a gasp of astonishment.
"But I must go back to tbe begin
nlng. You know when I left college j
something was expected of uie."
"Tou were considered a prodigy," 1
Interrupted.
"It wasn't the prodigy; It was' luck,
Just as It was with Roentgen, only my
luck came long before his. I made a
similar discovery years . ago. 1 have
applied it as uo one else has applied
It. Now, you know that from tbe mo
meut we begin to live we are attacked!
by microbes. Cancel the microbe, and
you cancel old age. From experiment.*
on Insects I found that by exposing th>
larvae to a ray Bluet called radium 1
arrested decay. But at the samn tlnce
1 arrested growth. From lusects I ex
perlmented on frogs, kittens, dogs ami
other animals. I have a pet collie flf
teeu years old as lively as a puppy."
"Dlsbrow, ba? your learning made
you mad?"
"No; I am as sane as you. But 1
knew that if I offered any such Ideas I
to tbe world I'd be put In limbo, anil
as I dread lunatic asylums and value
my freedom I have kept my mouth
shut."
"For heaven's sake, go on."
"This Is no place to give you any
thing more than a preface to what 1
have proposed to tell you about the |
bride. I illd make my discoveries
known to one man, old Vollmar, our
professor of chemistry at college. That
was Just as I had made up my mind to
try to arrest decay in human beings.
Not long after that Vollmar came to
me and told me that two multimillion
aires . desired to Join their vast for
tunea by the marriage of a sou of the
one to a daughter of the other, bat the
boy was but two year# of age. while
the girl was twenty-four. If they wait
ed till the boy became of age, the
girl would be too old to produce an
heir. At least such an event would
not be likely. Besides, the difference of
age would be a great obstacle to their
ma-rlage. The old man asked me if 1
would make an effort to arrest decs)
on the part of the girl."
"Come, come, Disbrow, what non
sense Is this?"
"Your incredulity demonstrates the
necessity of keeping my secret. If you
tell it, sooner or later they'll have me
liehlnd closed doors. You haven't the
scientific head old Vollmar bad. He
tumbled to the Idea at once."
"Go on with your yarn."
"I'm not golug to try amid this clat
ter of dishes and voices to tell you my
process. I will only say that the stum
bling block In my way was the fact that
the electrons discharged from radium
are obstructed In their passage through
;tlr. I was therefore obliged to put the
subject In n receiver and exhaust the
air."
"Which means death."
"Ah: There's where the wonderful
power of radium conies In. It Is suf
ficient to keep life In the subject for
an Indefinite period."
"But where did you get your appa
ratus? Sufficient radium for the pur
pose would cost a fortune."
"The girl's father opened his bank
account to me."
"Well?"
"My subject was a bit frightened
and her father? the only one except
herself In the secret? was beside him
self with fear. But the desire to pile
up gold even for posterity was too
strong for him, and be did not Inter
fere with the experiment. Within
twenty-four hours 1 had rendered hit
daughter Impervious to the destructive
Influence of genns, and she has re
mained young from that day to this.
My subject was the bride we have Just
seeu married."
Our conversation was Interrupted f>y
(he announcement that the bride and
srroom were aboat to leave, and, enter
lug the marble vestibule, Disbrow and
I went up with the rest to bid them
adieu. When the bride took leave of
Disbrow, she gave him a look Indlcat
lag the possession of a common secret
