"To t*ll yon the truth, old fellow, ] never underafcood why with your capacity for domestio enjoymont you remained an old bachelor. Early disappointment in love?" "I towed to many her or not at all, and ihe"? Just at that moment the spring roller blind of a house that faced directly on the i sidewalk flew up with a sudden "Br-r-r" and a snap. Both the men looked around, and both ware just in time to ?atch sight of a remarkably pretty girl's faoe with a pout of vexation on it. The blind bad evidently slipped "irat^of hw Angers and rolled Itself up whan it not asked to. ^'Who is that girl?" Guthrie asked. "I'm afraid I don't know her, old fel- , low," said .bean, "sne's a very pretty girl, I* should say. We'll ask my wife when we get home. Now go on with your secret." "You haven't any Idea who Uvea in that house, have you?" "No, I haven't. Oh, by the way, I think I do know I Unless I'm mistaken, that's old Calthorpe's place. He's a fellow commuter of mine, and that's about the full extent of our acquaintance. But she isn't the young lady of your secret, is she?" "That's jnst It," said Jeff, with a putsled expression. "She can't bs, and yet that face for the moment looked"? "Like her? Was her name Calthorpe?" "No; her name was Sargent." "Bow iong ago was it?" "Seven years." "Well, one of the few things I happen to know about old Calthorpe," said Bean, laughing, "Is that he oomu from Rhode Island. So"? "Oh, no, no!" Guthrie Interrupted. "Miss Sargent Is dead, old fellow." The two walked on in silence for some time. ' "It isn't a long story," Guthrie presently oontinued. "She taught school there *n that faraway little village among the hills and the mlnaa. I was interested in her from the first and 'tried to win my way into some" sort of acquaintance wit^i her. But she seemed disinclined to anything like society." "Ton didn't stay there more than a ysai altogether, did you?" Bean asked. "Much 1ms than a year. I e?t?t ?xchAng?d mora than fix words with hear in all the time we were both in that village. , Don't laugh at me, Maurioe.

J "So much like that it wouldn't be re- j markable even U they were twin sisters." , "Whioh, of course, is impossible," said ; Bean. , "A twin sister of hers would be nearly { mj oy iaw wuo. "And the young woman at the blind la not mora than 19,1 should Judge. It If ourlous, though." Gnthirle'a visits to the home of his married friend were all muoh alike In one very pleasant feature?he always romped with two out of three children, while the youngest?the baby?looked on and crowed and jerked Itself about enviously. "Mow, what is it?" Mrs. Bean asked, turning to her husband when Allie and little Jeff bad both been Anally sllenoed under the bedclothes. "Oh, it Isn't my affair," said the husband. "We?I?wanted to ask if you knew a Hiss Calthorpe here, living in that new red briok house at the end of the common, " said Guthrie. Mrs. Bean shook her head. "No Miss Calthorpe lives there," she said. "Mr. Oalthoroe lives there." "Oh," said Bean, "yra* that old woman sister?" | "She Isn't really eld, dew. She's younger than Mr. Calthorpe. There's oae daughter, I believe." ' 3 But that sight Mr*. Bean said to her J husband: "Leave me alone for two days, , and I will know all about jrour window blind young lady. Then make Jeff Guth- j rle come here and stay'overnight." { The next visit of Jeff Quthrle was plan* , ned for a Saturday evening, with express j arrangements for a stay over Sunday. After church this subtle woman Insisted on lingering about the porch until a gray hatred lady came out, and with her her daughter, the girl who had pouted at the window blind. "Mrs. Perry, let me introduce oar particular friend, Mr. Guthrie, and this *s Miss Perry."

Jeff Guthrie ceased to be the old bachelor friend of the Bean family, and It waa all owing to theescape of that roller blind from a girl's fingers.

"It la extraordinary," said a book collector the other day, 4' the value some peo- J pie attach to old books simply because they ' are old. Not long ago a friend of mine 1 showed me two old trunks filled with ( books which he had found in a house orlg- J lnally the property of his wife's grandfaIher, and which she had recently inherited from her mother. There were In all per-, haus about 800 volumes, most of which bore the dates 1760, 1770, 1765 and to on, i rind my friend confidently believed that they were worth at least their weight In gold. On the contrary, they were book* of very little value and interest, and not worth much more than their weight at waste paper. He politely suggested that I was a liar when 1 told him that, but ha changed his mind after he had tried In rain to sell the books to secondhand dealers.

The Smart Verftr, The church possessed a valuable Bible, which was only used on Sundays, aays writer in The Cornhill Magazine, speaking of an English country parish. During the week it was kept in a box which rather ourlously formed the stand upon which the reader of the lessons stood. On cms occasion, when this was being shown to visitor, the remark was made that It did not seem very reverent for even a clergyman to tread upon the Bible. "Pardon me," the old verger replied. "In this church, sir, we take our stand upon th? Scriptures." A Barrel of Flour. A barrel of flour will make nearly double its weight in bread. Flour rapidly deteriorates with age unless kept dry. It absorbs moisture, and this moisture impairs the gluten which is Indispensable to the lightness of the bread. Besides, it changes some of the starch into sugar and a gummy matter known as dextrin, and this makes the bread heavy and sodden.

One espeolal favorite with the child was Bagasset, a decrepit violinist, who predloted to the Innkeeper that his son would be a great musician some day. Verdi helped this poor fellow in after years, when the prophecy had been amply fulfilled. When Verdi was about ,7 years old, his father added a splnnet, or pianoforte, to his worldly possessions. The child had already shown some taste for muslo, for, besides the street muBlo episode, the priest at Ronoole bad kloked him down the altar steps for paying more attention to the music from the organ than to his duties as acolyte, or .server, at mass, a post wo ion bis naturally .quiet demeanor bad obtained for him.
