The man with whom she T had played when her soft gray hair ^ stuck straight out from her heat! in ^Ka stiff little brown plait and been back |Bm the old home just a month now, and ||^Bey had met after a lapse of forty ^^vears, and he had?remembered. HH'Thank you," she whispered?but ft^Hpry shyly, and as if even this tacit S^Hdmis8ion of a satisfied want was a Honing unmaidenly and blameworthy. ^Hpb, God, I thank you!" ZjsBAnd then she crossed the room to an ^Bid-fashioned bureau and'took up a SK>enbolder with a shaking hand. Ull ****** IB "You've been overtirin' yourself. I I can see," said one Betsy feriggs. as her mistress walked into her little tall an hour or so later. r "Not at all, Betsy," said Miss Priscilla, brightly. "I may be a trifle flushed with the heat, perhaps, I?I had an important Istter to post, and I always feel more satisfied if a letter is posted at the general office than in a pillar box." | "Humph!" said the privileged old pervant. "There has been a boy botherjn' here J<fr a letter he said he'd left for you .this afternoon, instead of at No.~32. 'I said I -x>uld give no answer till you come in. I'm sure there's been pore muddles since that there young Kss Bentley settled ten doors lower Bwn than yon could count in a month Sundays.

It?it can't be!"( Betsy sniffed. "Well, the boy said he'd got orders to take it on to No. 32, immediate, and a scoldin' from his master into the bargain. I told 'im, bless me, I'll make you a cup of tea in two minutes. Miss Prissie/' Miss Priscilla's groping hpnd had gripped a hard, horny one, as though to save herself from falling. "I'm all right. Betsy"?there was a strange, piteous expression in her blue eyes?"quite right. Yes. I'll go ^and sit down. But I don't want any "tea. or?or to be disturbed for half an Ihour. please, Betsy." She passed on to her small sunbathed sitting room and closed its door behind her. Miss Bentley! Why, of course! She had seen Major Duff walking with her after church on Sunday. Such a young, pretty woman, too?Miss Priscilla put out her hands with an odd. involuntary gesture, as though she were avoiding a blow. And then she remembered the letter she had posted an hour before, and they flew to her and she cowered in her chair with the shame and the hurt of it all ^-little, shrunken old woman who had rtoId a man. wanting none or her. that she loved him. That eveuing the somesvhat unwilling Betsy set out to deliver a letter which had been penned three times over before its characters were firm enough to satisfy the writer. "Dear Major Duff," it ran "I have sent on your letter, which ,was left here by mistake, io Miss Pc-n"*elope Bentley. I-was always the mischievious one in the old days, dear friend, but by this time you will just be having a good laugh over the joke which a naughty old woman could not resist playing upon you in pretending that she had applied its contents to herself! It really was too bad of her. Please forgive her, and accept very warm wishes for your happiness, ""from your sincere old friend. "Priscilla Bentley." Miss Priscilla peered between the laths of her blind with dim, scared eyes until ' Betsy's thick-set figure passed out by the garden gate. And then she got down on her knees. She bad told her first lie, but somehow there was very much in connection {with it to explain to God. ? O * *> 9 """"But. bless my soul. Priscilla!?I may say 'Priscilla' now. I suppose?" An excitable white-haired man was Piping Miss Bentley's sitting room. Jng his nose violently the while, ashamed of you! And that girl's well I've a good mind"?he shot lie to Ills words?"to?to marry ber after all. except that she wouldn't look at me!" "Are you?are you sure?'' faltered Miss Friscilla. She was smiling, crying. apologizing in one fluttering, embarrassed breath. '"Am I sure? When she's just told me that she's promised to a strapping young fellow in the Guards! Look what you let me in for! I went this morning to apologize and explain like a man, though I've faced less unpleasant tliinrs on n battle field. Priseilla. and somehow?well, out of it came your little joke, ma'am. And she held her tongue and stood looking out of the window for a minute or two, apd thou round she turned with her eyes all wet?though I'm not flattering myself, mind you. that it was at the j thought of losing me?and 'Go and tell her you hold her to her joke!' says she." "Oil. Major?I?I mean Alexander! She must be a?a very"?Miss Friscilia's gentle little voice broke suddenly before an adjective came. "Not a word against her. Priscilla!" ?the old soldier wheeled around fiercely?"she's the sweetest woman, barring one"?his rugged face softened into sudden tenderness?"who might have known that a heart which she stole when its owner was in petticoats, and?bless me. what does the old lady want this time?" Betsy was knocking persistently on a half-opened door. '"It's that stupid hoy from the printer's at the end of the road again, mum," she said in answer to a timid inquiry. "He still holds to it that he j left a bill here yesterday by mistake. It's in my mind now. that maybe it's j a note I took from the letter box and slipped at the back of the clock to wait for you."?The Woman at Home. Mr. Redpath"s Problem.A tiger's skin, made into a beautiful rug and valued at nearly a thousand dollars, was the property of Mr. Stubbs. Mr. Redpath, a neighbor, owned a dog. One day a maid servant in the employ of Mr. Stubbs had taken the rugs into a back yard, hung them on a line, and began beating them. The stuvdy strokes of the stick caused every rug on the line to dance about. The tiger's skin became particularly active. The great head swung to and fro in the wiud, and the wide-stretched jaws seemed to ache to snap off some one's leg. A Chicago evening paper tells how the challenge was accepted. At this interesting moment Mr. Redpath and his buildog passed by. That is to say, Mr. Redpath passed. The bulldog paused to look. What he saw aroused his anger. The tiger'6 head was challenging him to mortal combat He leaped the fence and in two long bounds had hi: strong jaws fastened in the neck of the former king of the jungle. "Scat;" shouted Mary. "Get out, you beast, ycu'll ruin the rug!" m*.,. i,-li j _ ~ TKa JL lit? UUIIUU^; guvc UV UCCU, AUQ tiger's skin bad fallen from the line and completely enveloped the dog. Muffled growls could be beard as the mass of yellow fur rolled about the yard. "Get out!" shouted Mary. But the dog could not get out. That was the trouble. He had become so completely tangled up that his own master coyld not have extricated him. There was a sound of rending skin. "He's trying to eat his way out, I do believe," said Mary. And she wa6 right. When the dog reappeared the rug was in fragments. His master lnnl.-orl irrvfnllT nt thp nipfps spattered about. He knew Stubbs and he knew tbe value of tbe tiger-skin rug. "I have got to get all the pieces together or give up $1000," he said. "Part of the rug is inside the dog, and I don't believe in vivisection." Strawberries and Rheumatism. It is frequently remarked by persoiiB of rheumatic and gouty tendencies that those unpleasant twinges of the muscles and joints do not long survive tne opening of the strawberry season. It is a somewhat curious coincidence that in the strawberry the presence of salicylic acid, which is a specific in acute rheumatism, has been definitely established. As a matter of fact salicrHr> noiil xvnnlfl nnnpflr to be a normal constituent of most fruits. At any rate, this acid has been found n?t only in the strawberry but in grapes, apples, plums, oranges and cherries, although 1he amount is probably iess than one milligramme (164th of a grain) per kilogramme (two pounds) of fruit. It is hardly possible, therefore, thai the strawberry should have any specific medicinal effect attributable to the kSalicylic acid present. As is well 'known, most frnits possess anti-scorbutic properties and contain salta which readily become converted into carbonates iu the system, thus tending to maintain an alkaline condition and preventing the formation' of acid deposits.?Atlanta Journal. Cause of Sleeoinsr Sickness. % - ?' The investigations by the governmental commission sent to Uganda have discovered the cause of the sleeping sickness, which has caused so many thousand dealhs among the natives. Buvuma Island, which had a population of 22,000, has now but 8000. The southern province of Busoga has been practically depopulated. j The first step in the discovery was I the observation of trypanosomes in the cerebrospinal fluid in five cases of the sleeping sickness. A further investigation showed the existence of this para, site in the cerebro-spinal fluid and ia the circulating blood of all of the cases. As it T\as closely related to the disease of cattle caused by the tsetse fly, it was su&;>ccted that the sleeping sickness was caused in like manner by iuft'c tion. Fruiifol Oklahoma. une UKianoma eunor, uissei-isimg upon the productiveness of Oklahoma soil, told of a watermelon's growing so fast that a farmer who was hoeing the vine was overtaken and crushed before he could get out of the patch.

New York City.?Blouses shirrecl to j give a broad effect at the shoulders i make one of the features of the season, j and are shown in many variations, i SHIKBED BLOUSE. J This May Manton one is peculiarly chic, and forms a yoke of shirrings and lace that is exceedingly smart. In the case of the original the material is ? ? ?l??l,;na nnmliinfid ? I UiUiZt; L'UIUI CU ucpc uc \-Uiuc vuuiV?..vv. ? with chiffon velvet of the same color i and cream lace, but all materials soft i enough for shirrings are appropriate. The narrow vest, covered with frills of the chiffon edged with ruches, is a noteworthy feature and the sleeves 1 ire among the most graceful of the 1 season, while the wide belt is both 1 aew and becoming. The waist Is made over a fitted lining :hat closes at the centre front. Both .he fronts and back are shirred to yoke < lepth and s\re combined with the lace < :o give the effect of straps over the 1 A Late Design b shoulders. The vest is narrow, faced with lace to form the square, and covj ered with frills below. At the edges i of the fronts, which are outlined with ' [ ruches of chiffou. are narrow esten6ions of velvet that give the effect of a plain waistcoat over the full frills. The sleeves are shirred to fit snugly . below the shoulders and include shirred cuffs, but form full puffs between the two.

Moleskin is tlie latest fur craze for j the coming winter. It has all the soft, smooth becomingn^ss of sealskin, and J its quiet unobtrusiveness when unmixed with another fur commends it. While as a foil to ermine, it not only is ( itself beautiful, but adds to the white- ' ness of ermine in a most attractive , way. Moleskin also enters into millinery trimmings with great success j and is used for.the foundation of fur I hats, relieved ,by ermine brim6 and ! | rosettes of tails of the same. ^ Dress Handkerchiefs. Handkerchiefs for dress occasions are smaller than usual this season ' Tinv sauares are finished with frills | of valenciennes or embroidered with I initial corners; and yet there Is nothing in such good taste as plain fine linen batiste worked with a monogram. Fashion again permits the handkerchief to be carried in the cuff of the s eeve when occasion does not permit one of the elegant handbags. An Evening Gown. A charming evening pown is of hellotrope crepe de chine, only slightly trained. The skirt is accordeon pleated, the edge of each plain lined with iridescent beads. The low-necked waist is also pleated, and there is a i deep hertna or yeuow rnce coiuuineu with an iridescent galloon. Flowon Still Popular. f It Is evident that flowers as hat trim- 1 mings are p.B much to the fore a8 ever. 5 1 i .9 i T3i!s in spite of the ostrich feather attempt Fit monopoly.

Skin Bags. The reindeer 6kin bags, -which look like 6uede. come in tan, gray and black. and the watch Is set at the top >n one end. Watches are also to be seen in the walrus bags. Long purses with a flap instead of a clasp also 3ave watches set in one end. Reversible Garments. Another new and ingenious idea ia iiakincr reversible carments of a dark Tun lined with a light-colored one, in :>rder that they may serve in the doujle capacity of day and evening wraps. Green Shoe* and Stocklnjja. Bright emerald green shoes and stockings are worn with an evening jown of white lace and emerald ornaments. The color may be repeated igain in a velvet bow worn in the hair. Blae Lynx. Blue lynx is of a very beautiful gray slue shade, has long, fluffy, silky hair ind is quite delicate. The black has i brilliant jet black lustre. Wraps Are Shorter. The loose coats are all shorter than >f late years. Three-quarters, or an >ven shorter length, seems to be popuar. y May Manton. w I I 2J Tiger Skin. The newest importation in dress and uillinery velvet goes by the name of 'tiger skin."

The waist consists of the fitted lining. the fronts, back and cape collar, rhe portions of the wnist are arranged >ver the lining and the cape collar over both.

New Plant Settlement. The island of Krakatoa, on which al\ $>lant life was destroyed by the great feruption of 1883, is isolated from Java knd Sumatra bv twentv miles of water. and Las given botanists a much prized opportunity for studying the birth of a new vegetation. The first observations were made by Dr. Treub, after about three years. Microscopic algae, which had covered the surface with a slimy layer, were decomposing the pumice Stone, lava and ash into a suitable substratum for other plants and about a dozen species of ferns were already abundant, while there were a few individuals of fifteen flowering plants. The report of other German botanists, who visited the island in 1897,-has Just been published. Very strangely, no' more species of ferns were noted, but in all sixty-two pieces of vascular plants were observed, including fifty flowering plants, representing twenty-one natural orders. There were eight Compositae, six grasses and four orchids. A belt near tbe water was ricnest in species, while beyond were dense thickets of reeds and sugar cane, and the more thinly covered Interior contained chiefly ferns. It is almo9t certain that sixty per cent, of the flowering plants were introduced by the sea, while thirty-two per cent, were probably borne by the wind, the others having been possibly carried by birds. He Jntt Explained'to tbe Jury. One of the most common defects ot a recently admitted lawyer is a striving for oratorical display. A successful older practitioner endeavors on the other band, to give the jury a heartto-heart talk. The ways of an eagle in the air, of a serpent upon a rock, of a ship in the midst of the sea and of a man with a maid are as A, B, C, compared with the methods usually pursued by the twelve good men and true. It seems a trifle odd at first that a dozen individuals who separately are shrewd. 6barp business men, should collectively be guilty of the most absurd performances, but the fact must be reckoned on, nevertheless, A story is told of two farmers who were returning home, one of them from jury duty in a neighboring town. "Lawyer Smith is a great orator," said one. "a perfect Daniel Webster. My, how I hated to decide against him in the three cases he tried!" "How about Lawyer Jones, who was on the other side?" "Oh, shucks! why, of course, he wins all his cases. I heard every one of 'em, and they were the simplest things. He just explained things to the jury. He didn't have to do any hard talking at all. You couldn't help but agree with him."?Success. A Real Old Engllah Family.
