"About two years ago I was troubled with my head being scaly.

An old negro preacher in Kentucky was dilating upon events in the Bible which had a zoological trend. He described the Deluge, and how all the animals, two by two, went into the Ark and were saved. Then he discussed the Incident of Jonah and the whale, Balaam's asB, and finally the exploit of Daniel, who entered the den of ravening lions and emerged, unharmed, Jiis auditors had listened with interest, and some of them seemed to have their doubts a3 to the authenticity of the tales. Finally one of the younger negroes | rose up and inquired: "Say, pahson, i wuz dem lions jest like the kind we I has now?"

Could she finish her worl and get ready in an hour? No, i i would take two hours at the ver; least.

She wrung out a linen tablecloth from its foam) bath and paused to inspect its snow) whitnesess. "I wish," she said witt sudden wistfulness, "that I had a red satin coat like Julia's. I look so good ia red, too." She sighed enviously as a mental vision of Julia in all her finery row before her. Julia Dent was considered the best dressed girl in town and her father being a lawyer, made her very popular among the young set. She always appeared in the latest styles quite before the othei girls had heard of them, which awoke considerable envy in the hearts ol the less fortunate ones. Of late there had been even more envy among then because Walter Radcliffe, the broker'j handsome young son, was home from college, and he was considered a critic on style and appearance. It was the general belief that he and Julia Dent would become en gaged before his vacation was over as she seemed to be the only girl ic town who could suit his fastidious taste in dress. Julia knew this and I she straightway ordered a new ward' i robe, among which was the much en I vied satin coat. Polly was thinkinghow nice it musl ! be to be rich, wear beautiful clothes and not be obliged to spoil one's hand; by housework. She thought, too, ho'w splendid it would be to be lookec upon with approval by Walter Radcliffe. How he must admire Julia ir her red satin coat! And the prettiest | thing Polly possessed was a white lin en dress embroidered by her own pinl I fingers. How hateful and common j place It seemed now beside Julia'i I rich clothes, and she had felt so prouc ! of it before! But Walter Radclifff i had complimented her the last tinu I she wore it, so it could not be so plaii j and commonplace, after all, since h< j admired it. j Polly's cheeks grew rosier as th< i laundry work progressed, and a bij fer I would do the washing, and Til do ! It'even at the. cost of such a pleasure | | as au auto ride." A few minutes later, as Julia was ; hurrying home she met Walter Rad cliffe unexpectedly on turning a street ; : corner. "Our friend Polly cannot ! join our auto party to-day," she in- ; t formed him after the usual greetings were over. ; ' The young man's face fell. "So? . I am, indeed, sorry to hear it. I hope i she is not ill." 1 Julia laughed. "Not at all! I J . found her just now shoulder deep in the soapsuds, her cheeks and hands j 5 soarlet. I suggested putting aside the j work and coming along with us, but ; , she would not shirk her duty to her j 1 mother. Poor little household ; , drudge!" A peal of laughter followed her r words, which somehow jarred on : Walter Radcliffe, and like a lightning t flash his thoughts and feelings underwent a change. . 3 " "I am sorry she cannot come," he t said earnestly, "but," his eyes grew a trifle cold as he looked at her, "I am 5 sure such faithfulness deserves re. ward, and for Polly's sake I shall nostDone the auto trip until to-mor 1 row." ; Polly was hanging out the clothes, so deep in her .disappointment that i " she did not hear the footsteps ap- j proaching until a tall, sylishly ! 1 dressed young man stood before her, hat in hand. Polly uttered a sur^ prised "Oh!" and made a wild plunge j to run out of sight, but was caught in a pair of strong athletic arms, and r soon found herself gazing into Walter f Radcliffe's merry blue eyes, which held in them a light so strange, so 1 thrilling, that poor little Polly was I actually frightened, yet her heart fluttered exquisitely at the same time. "Polly; I love you!"-he cried with the vehemenoe of youth' rfnd passion. "I want you to marry me! Will you, ' little girl?" - She freed herself from '"his arms and stared at him. "You marry me!" f she exclaimed, bewildered. "Why, | where is Julia? I thought you were I going to marry her?she is so stylish, I while I?oh. dear?"

But the steady, glinting eyes that look through half-closed lids at you would rather indicate a cold and sus picious nature. Beware of the shifting, faltering eyes that always look away from you. Small eyes usually mean an alert mind. If they look straight out at you steady and bright, like a squirrel's, you may expect the right sort of cleverness, a quick tongue and a gift of repartee. But if the small eyes are more dim j fcnd do not look straight into yours. | you may look for the wrong kind of cleverness, for little dishonesties and equivocations and for a bueiness sharpness that is willing to sacrifice ; too much for a little money. i Your large, tranquil "cow-like"; eves, on the other hand, are lesa re- | woman's! xh realm j | j a 3$S'\ ! 74*s/- . v ?6* * sponslve than the alert/ bright, little beady eyes, but once stir them to' their depths and they will look In- j finitely more intense and ftfeanjngful i 1 mau me mure ituput^irc; c;co.
