By Tom Mtsson. ? jfel ifcjj F Castleton, on bis way to P? 1=3 Miss Plnkerly's, had known | I that young lady was frantiIngi i=j cally trying to reach him over the telephone and tell hilll not to com p. his fare would not have seemed so happy as lie tranquilly talked along. And yet his tranquility was after all only an appearance. And appearances, * ^ as we know, are often deceitful. Castleton was in love "with Miss PinkfeUy, and by some strange fatality he 1 had set this particular day and hour to declare his passion. As he walked along swiftly the light of a suppressed emotion beginning to show in his eyes, he endeavored to turn over in his mind the exact language that would be most fitting for the occasion. it seemeu so easy now. tut wouiu It be, face to face with the object of his adoration? That was the burning question. Miss Pinkerly, on her part, was not nearly so tranquil as her lover. She knew he was coming, and possibly she suspected what his errand might be. iYou?g women have a way of intuitively divining the precise psychological mon^nt when the fate of another lies In their answer. Miss Pinkerly's perturbation, however, was not due to this fact alone. This interesting and beautiful young jroman lived with her married sister, who a short time after Castletoii had telephoned of his approach had been called down town suddenly to her husband's office on some family business that required her signature. It happened on this particular afternoon that tne oaoy s, nurse was raneii in. There was nothing to do. therefore, but to place Miss Plnkeiiy in charge of the^infant in the emergency. And as she had, while that phenomenon was held by the cook, only succeeded in discovering that Castleton had left his office for parts unknown, there was nothing for her to do but to wait his coming with the resignation of despair. As Castleton came up the front steps fend rang the bell he heard an ominous .wail. "Ah." he said to himself, "there's that baby. I hope they won't bring liim down again to look at. Some people don't know enough to keep their children out of the way." The maid showed him into the drawing-room. > The wail came nearer and nearer. Castleton's heart sank. The curtains parted, and Miss Pink<erly, holding in her arms twenty pounds of chubby humanity, entered, an apologetic smile upon her face. "You'd better not stay." she said. "I tried to reach you over the 'phone, but you had gone. My sister is away, and the nurse is ill, and I've Just got to watch this youngster. Now you men hate that sort of thing, and you'd better run along. He's a dear little fellow. isn't he?" The baby shrank back as Castleton approached, and this time gave a genuine. old-fashioned yell. When he could be heard, Castleton remarked cavalierly: "Not at all?I don't mind if you don't. Besides, I have something important to say to you." Miss Pinkerly hesitated. After all, what did it matter? They knew each ?thcr nrpttv wpll bv this time. "Very well," she said, "but we would better go up into the nursery. If you W" don't mind. His toys are up there." J So up stairs they went. Castleton sat down on the side of a rocking horse. After all, he thought to himself, why .Wasn't this the best time and place? "Dorothy," he began, "I have something to tell you. You know I " It was evident that the baby resented jthis intrusion. He hod seen Castleton I attempt to take his aunt's hand, and his chivalry asserting Uself even in one so young he let out at the top of his L voice. Miss Pinkerly took him in her A arms and soothed him. jga "Naughty, bad man, go away," she K exclaimed. "There, there, don't cry. I won't Jet him some near me again." W The baby quieted down, and Castleton. who had begun to walk the floor. turned to his task once again. "Darling," ho began. ; Miss Pinkerly glanced at the clock. "It's almost time for his milk," she observed. "You know I will have to heat his bottle. Would you, could you, hold him just a few moments?" "Surely," said Castleton. . "Here, old man!" After some coaxing! the baby, all r smiles, permitted himsslf to be placed I on the knee of the stranger. Castleton gave him his watch to play with, then his keys. Then he realized the baby was slipping off slowly but surely. To prevent this disaster he grasped the youngster with a regular golf grip. Immediately there was a succession of shrieks. Miss Pinkerly sprang into the room from the gas stove with a cry of alarm. "What have you been doing to him?" ? she said almost savagely. "Nothing," said Castleton. "I mere tly held him together. Here, you take Jhim and I'll heat that bottle." He -went solemnly out into the hall, !where the bottle was reposing in a saucepan full of hot water. "Roll it around," said Miss Pinkerly. "Now take it off and put it on my cheek. I'll tell you whether it is hot enough." Castleton took the bottle in his hand. ^ land approaching the one he loved best in all the world, solemnly proceeded tc L lay its surface on her cheek. The baby I naturally supposing the time for action a had arrived made a grab for the covI eted bottle. 1 ; Castleton. however. wa? too nnMr rw ! --.V , . for him, fvnd he got it away just Ir time. Miss Pinkerly, in the meantime, he ** U?Ktt'q Pm nf !c /it,] an M,An tween tue ? mn, umuaged to convey the information thai the bottle was hot enough. "But you must hold him," she said "while I prepare It." Once more Castleton took the shrieking infant in his arras. This time h? was mad. He walked that baby up and down as If he had been a sack of meal or a musket. An then as Miss Pinkerly came Id and took him and applied that bottle to his lips and put him in his crib there was silence, blissful, well earned silence. Castleton wasted no time. He took her hand in his and led hex gently to the alcove. ' Dorothy, dear." he said, "will you cor -res? I love you." She smiled "If you had asked me that question this morning,'' she replied, "I would have kept yoli waiting, hecause you might have beln mistaken in your feelings. But after all you have been through with I'm going to say yes right away, because I know now that you must love me."?New York Times. How to Throw the Larat. There are three general methods of throwing, with many minor variations of individual habit. The rope is held in practically the same way in every case. First is the plain, straight cast, noose swinging around above the head from right to left, by a rotating wrist movement. Some 'Topers" throw a I smnii lnon. hard and fast, almost on I a level; others a. larger, lazier kind, which nevertheless "arrives." The aim Is somewhat to the right of the object to be roped?say a foot and a half on a twenty-flve foot tlirow, the exact instance of release being governed by weight of rope, wind, velocity of swing, etc. Judgment comes instinctively with practice. The rest of the rope Is held coiled in the other hand and released as fast as desired, two or three coils being retained. To "snub" the rope (wind it about the pommel after casting) in the instant of time allowed is a trick quite as difficult as throwing properly. The Mexicans, with their large-diametei pommels, have to take only one turn; the American pommel, being smaile-, ; rprmlres two. The DOEUmel. often I smokes from the friction created, and j is frequently deeply grooved and al- ' most burned by the rope. The import ant part played by the trained cow I pony is obvious. He is taught to settle j back on his haunches the moment the ^ rope begins to tighten, and in many , other ways materially to assist his . master. The second method of throwing Is exactly the reverse, i, e? the noose is , swung from the left to right above the , head before release. This is called the j "California throw," and possibly gives a little greater range. At any rate, one or two of the longest throwers I know use it, and I find it so myself. It may be oily a personal result. Any good "roper" can throw either way. The third cast is the "corral drag," which, as its name Implies, is for use afoot and .in confined quarters. It consists in trailing out the loop on the ground behind one and snapping it for- j ward by an underhand motion.?Wide I World Magazine. A Chat About the Eyes. Eyes, mirrors of the soul, may, perhaps, be considered more beautiful and attractive than any other feature of the human countenance. Dividing them into two great classes, light and dark, it has been said that the dark indicates power, the light, delicacy. Black eyes, so called?for they are really of so deep an orange that they appear black contrasted with the white surrounding them?are tropical. Sometimes they seem dull and sluggish, but the forces they betoken are only slumbering, so I that any chance spark may set them ablaze. With such eyes the intellect j .i1l nn/l tlia nnssirftlq n lit uc [ju uuu v?v x"- *? strong. Clear blue eyes belong to tem- J perate regions. Otlier intellectual indications being equal, what they may lack in power and passion they will make up in subtlety and versatility. Hazel eyes show steadiness an-d the power of constant affection: green, catlike orbs, though frequently fascinating. are dangerous, for they are a sign of coquetry and deceit. The eyes of genius are said to be of varying tints, like the sea, sometimes blue, tinged with green or orange, in certain lights or when affected by emotion, deep and almost dark. These are but few of the infinite varieties in tint. It should never be forgotten that eyes are more capable of misleading than any other feature. Form and color may indicate ! much: rho elance. steady or soft, per haps even more. Widely expanded eyelids see much -without reflecting greatly beyond the present moment. Eyelids half closing over the eyes denote less facility of impression, but clearer insight, more definite ideas, greater readiness in action: they notice less but think and feel intensely. Deep set eyes with wrinkles at the outer corners show penetration and a sense of humor. Eyes set near together, especially when tbere are wrinkles across the nose, are a sign of cunning and meanness in small things, mon?y matters and otherwise. Set wide apart the character will be generous. If too wide careless and extravagant. The proper distance between the eyes is the length of one o;re. A Grand Old Cherry Tree.

For Instance, the jackdaw and the cuckoo are about equal in sze, yet the jackdaw's egg is some fi e or six times larger than the cuckocs.

SERVIA PUTS IN A DEFENSE An Official Explanation of the Views nt the liovemment. INDIGNANT AT GREAT BRITAIN Beaenta the Recall of the British Mini iter Thai Holding the Freient Regime Beiponilble For tho Aaaaulnatlona?The Killing of the King Sanctioned by All, Saya the Foreign Minlater. Belgrade, Servia.?Great Britain has broken off diplomatic relations with Servia. The British Minister, sir G. F. Bonham, has left here for England. The Consul of Great Britain, W. G. Thesslger, has cnarge ot Bntisn interests. The Foreign Minister, M. Kalievitch, In an Interview expressed intense indignation at the announcement from London that the British Minister had been Instructed to withdraw from Belgrade for some time on the arrival here of King Peter. Minister Kalievitch's statement was made carefully for publication, and may be regarded as an official expression of -the view of the Government. The Minister said: . "It is with deep indignation that we find in a recent telegram from London an indication that It is intended to hold the present Government responsible for the deplorable events which occurred on the sanguinary night of June 11 in the Royal Palace. "The upheaval of June 11 was the work of a large number of officers. The consequences of the revolution, however, were sanctioned by the whole army and the whole people. "With regard to the members of the Provisional Government, who were called upon at a most critical moment to take the reins of government In the absence of all other authority, they only proved their patriotism and personal courage by accepting so delicate a mission as ihat which the people unanimously and with gratitude solemnly confided to them. It is forgotten that the men composing the present Government were drawn from all parties and were hitherto engaged in bitter political strife. Only devotion to their country could unite them at this critical moment. Proof of the fact that they rendered great service to their country is found in the peace and order prevailing throughout the land. We have, therefore, good reason to regret the fact that an attempt Is now made by England, as the result of erroneous information, to cast suspicion on a state of affairs which has for its object the maintenance of order and the eventual regeneration of a young nation which has passed through a time of trial and which's attached tc the cause of liberty and civilization." United Statea Reserves Recognition. Washington, D. C. ? The United States Government has adopted an attitude similar to that of England toward the new Servian dynasty. 11 will be in no haste to recognize a gov ernment created by assassination in the absence of some exhibition of a 'disposition to punish the guilty. There fore Mr. Jackson, who, besides being Minister to Greece, is also United States Minister to Servia, will not pre sent his credentials to the Governmenl of King Peter at present. Holland Follows Great Britain, The Hague, Holland. ? The Dutct representative at Belgrade has been in etructed to assume the same attltud< as Great Britain toward the provls ional government of Servia. LOWELL MILL STRIKE ENDS.

Every union affiliated with the council was repre sented and the vote was unanimous, Mule spinners and loom fixers were ineluded in this vote, despite statement? that they would oppose a return tc work. President Conroy said: "We now worship at the altar of defeat, but later we shall rise again and conquer." The strike began on March 30, and involved about 17.000 operatives. The mils were closed till June 1, when the agents opened the gates and the majority of the operatives went back tc work. The strike has cost in wage.' about $1,300,000. It is understood that the agents will take back all the old help they have room for and will make no discrimination against the leaders of the strike. The high price of cotton precluded any hope of the success of the strikers, a contention for a ten per cent, increase in wages. Russian Jew Baiter Stabbed.

Deaperate Charge on Fort and Hand-taHand Fl|ht on Parapet, Bayonet Against KrU. Washington, D. C.?Gaptain John J. Pershing, who commanded the troops at the-fight of Lake Lanao, in the Philippines, thus describes the battle in a letter to a friend in the War Department: "Tie Bacolod Incident was the best fight of the Moro campaign. "First, we got behind them, much to their surprise, and could post our guns above and drop projectiles down Into their fort. "We had some work and some fighting to gain this position, but once there It was only a question of sitting down deliberately and waiting to see what the Moros would do. Many got away before the place was Invested, thoroughly. "The fight began In a flood of rain that lasted tin dark, and reconnoltering was difficult. So we did not find all the avenues of escape until next day. "I am glad now we didn't, as they had such confidence in this fort that they had been constructing for a year, that they took many women and children Inside, and these escaped during the night. "The next day and night we held them fast, however, and tried to get them to surrender, having two talks under a flag of truce. No, they would fight It out, so there was then only to finish it "The main obstacle was a deep ditch thirty-five feet wide and forty feet deep to be crossed. It was to be bridged with fallen trees; and over all 1 a bamboo bridge was laid. "In the face of a heavy Remington fire the lines advanced against two faces of the fort, putting out of business every Moro that appeared. They could not use their portholes; we had battered them to pieces, although we could not with our light field artillery l damage the earthwork. "The bridge was completed by two companies detailed (or that purpose? the trees having been previously cut 1 and hauled as near as could safely be i done?in thirty minutes, when the as: saulting infantry swung across and > formed line on the berme and clam bered up nearly In line to the top of the parapet.

Two will lose an arm each, the rest will reI cover with honorable scars but not maimed. j "Some officers counted sixty dead on : one floor and the Moros say there were more than 100 killed inside, while the l list outside has been growing ever i since the battle, so that 150 all told is a conservative estimate. : "The old Panandungan (a sort of 1 Moro title meaning chief counsellor or something of that kind?in this case : he had more power than the Sultan) lost his life, and the rest of them that are left have sent word that they want to be friends. l "From Bacolod north to Marahui more United States flags were dlsi played In the road and in rancheros than I supposed existed in all this country. "One year ago nobody knew nor had seen, except myself, the Moro In his native laguna, nor had they any Idea r of him nor of his fierce, unconquerable nature.
