fc By MAUIOX PORTER.
r Peggy gave a wail of despair. t
"Oh," she cried, "I have lost it. I i
had it only a few moments ago. i
(Whatever shall I do?"
I looked at the topaz which had j
been my birthday gift, but it was j
there, hanging on its thread of chain
oyer her heart. Peggy had seemed
delighted when I gave her that topaz, t
and had Baid it was the loveliest t
thing thing she owned. But it appeared
from her tone that there was s
something of more value at any rate.

"If you'd only tell me," I began,
; but I left off, because it is obviously f
y/ foolish to talk to one's self, and Peggy
had rushed away to the conservatory
where we had been sitting out
the last dance. J stood there smiling
a little at her impetuosity and sighing *
a little?because?I don't know why *
I sighed, exactly. Possibly it was be- 1
cause I am only an old fellow and ?
am apt to have a hard time keeping
pace with Peggy. Or possibly be- c
cause at precisely this moment I saw c
Evelyn Parr's bright hair gleaming I
p i against the dark greenery at the 1
other side of the room. I think I am t
always seeing that bronze head of *
hers. I saw it last night in my t
dreams?and the night before?and <
many nights before that. And that ]
week when I went to the mountains <
for a quiet time, and found her and ;
her mother there, and we* walked and 1
drove together during the whole long c
, 1
eeveu aays?cnai weeK siui lives iu
my memory. Eut there is Peggy?
pretty Peggy?who has been my
charge since she was in pinafores and
( i who is so sweet and affectionate and
contented with her middle-aged
, fiance. And, of course, I apa happy
[;' enough. A
Yet, as I lingered a moment, expecting
my little Peggy to join me, I
looked across at the greenery and
wondered i! it would he any harm if
I went to speak to Evelyn for only a
moment. I saw a rose lying almost
at my foet, as I stood hesitating, and
I picked it up" sentimentally enough,
likening it to a cheek that had been
many times too near mine for my entire
peace of mind. And I put it gently
into ray coat, although, it must be
owned, that cheek did not belong to
Peggy. "
Young Jack Hammond caught me ?
at it. I felt Instantly gvilty and 1
ashamed, for his face was as hard as *
if he had read my thoughts. c
"G?good'evening," I said, hastily. He
made no answer at first, but c
stood looking at me as though he 1
wished to speak, but the words would !
not come.
"What's the matter?" I said.
"Nothing's the matter," he retorted;
"I was cnly waiting?look- i
ing." ' t
"Precisely my condition." I'said as ]
Jicrhtlv as nnssihle "Pe2,<rv has left, i
me here and hasn't come for me. I 1
am waiting?and looking?" 1
v , "So I should have imagined," he (
said, unpleasantly. I felt myself getting
red. ;
"I've been waiting so long that I i
think she's forgotten where she's left i
me," I went on; "and, at any rate, 1
I'm going along." i
I moved on, anxious to be rid of 1
Ills searching eyes. And my feet car- i
ried me as straight as possible to i
where the bright head against the
greenery was. 1
She turned away from the man with
whom she was conversing when I approached
and I saw her pretty flush
sga oi recognwion ana ieic an answering
|| flush creeping up my own cheek. I
i| "wonder why it is that Evelyn Parr,
'"~--who is no older than Peggy, seems so
|| jnnch more in sympathy with a man
of my age. Why Peggy seems no
H older to me than when she used to
H fall asleep in my lap years ago. But
Evelyn?
"I am going to get you an ice," I
V said to her, "and we will go into the

|1 up to mine and shook her head.

"I; don't think that's right," said
Evelyn, gently. "She won't know

EDITOR'S OFFICE ON EDGE OF s

i
Perhaps the most picturesquely sitlated
newspaper office in the country
s that of the Megaphone at Quilcene,
iVash. The owner is M. F. Satterlee,
i pioneer newspaper man. He says:
"It is hardly possible there is an- !
)ther newspaper in the world situ- ,
ited in a similar way to the Mega- ,
jhone establishment. On the one
land, within less than four rods of
he office, is a virgin forest, extending
>ack to Walker mountain, while on
he other aye the waters of the Pacific
)cean, which pay daily visits within
LOO feet of the huge water wheel
iriving the Megaphone press. The
vheel is turned by a sparkling mounain
stream that flows in front of the
>ffice and then empties into the bay.
iVe can reach out of the window of
he establishment and pick from the
ree Early Transparent apples, while
vithin twenty-five feet are apples of
sight other kinds, and prunes, plums
md cherries are but a few steps away.
"Of wild fruit there are blackberries
ar.d salmon berries within a rifle
ange of the editorial desk. Then we
:an go out on a wharf, 200 feet from
he office door, and catch salmon
rout, salmon, perch and rock cod,
vhile the beach is one spread of clam
>eds; and fuel, in the shape of fir
>ark, broken in the proper lengths
or the office stove, floats to us on
ery tide, as it loosens from the logjooms
in tow to the mills. The Megiphone
office nestles at the foot of
talker mountain, "whose shadow in
lummer falls upon the spot at 4 p. m.,
ind where the morning sun, flashing
icross the Taraboo peninsula, casts
ts beams at an early hour. In winter
;he place is sheltered from the blasts
)f the sou'easters which roar over the
Sound. From the Megaphone place

The Cardinal Stopped the Scrap.
Two newsboys were engaged in a
ough and tumble fight Saturday af;ernoon
on Charles street near Cardinal
Gibbons' home. The pugilists
were watched by a group of men and
boys as well as many women who
were shopping. No one seemed inclined
to interfere.
The Cardinal's attention was I
iroused by the disturbance. Taking J
in the situation he made his way [
through the crowd. Reaching the
boys the Cardinal laid his hand upon !
a shoulder of one of the lads, who j
turned to become an aggressor at the j
interruption. One look into the face
of the Cardinal caused the urchin to
pull off his cap. As he did so the
Cardinal said in kindly tones:
"My son. wait until you have grown
to be a man before you indulge in
manly sDorts."
The next minute both boys had .
turned and were scampering down
the street in opposite directions. The
Cardinal continued his stroll, smilling ;
over the success as peacemaker.?

Spelling Simplified.
Prof. Alfred E. Stearns, principal
of the Phillips Andover Academy,
said at a dinner:
"The easiest way to raise funds, ag
in other things, is the wrong way. I
remember a man and his easy spelling
rule. In Orange, in my child
aooa, i once compiamea 01 me aimculties
of spelling. I said that 'ei'
and 'ie' in such words as 'believe' and
'receive* always stumped me.
"Then this man patted me on the
head and smiled and said:
" 'My boy, I will give you an infallible
rule for "ei" and "ie"?a rule
that in forty-3even years has nevei
failed me.'
"I expressed my delight and waited.
The man resumed
" 'The rule is simply this: Write
your "i" and "e" exactly alike and 1
put your dot exactly between them.' "

A Monkey Aigrette.
Fur is more and more employed for
hats as the season advances. Skunk,
sable, fox, ermine, chinchilla and
opossum are all equally favored at
times as a trimming, and also as entire
turbans, toques or caps. There
is still another fur much used for its
long, silky hairs and which forms the
most effective of aigrettes. I am alluding
to the skin of the monkey
that most of the Paris furriers are
supplying to our leading milliners. An

Censor For Officers' Brides.
The military authorities in Russia
exercise almost as keen a supervisior
over the marriages of officers as dc
the courts and chancellories ol
Europe over the nuptials of the sons
and daughters of the reigning houses
It long has been a standing or?ei
that no officer in the Russian armj
may marry until he is twenty-three
and that his bride must possess
means of her own as well as gooc
social position. Recently steps hav<
been taken to make these genera
qualifications on the part of the brid<
more specific. Where the eagei
bridegroom holds a captaincy or an:
hieher rank, all details as to th(
bride and her family have to be lai<
before the colonel of the regiment
and unless the young woman meet:
his approval the engagement must b<
broken off. In the case of subalterns
a court of honor, composed of officer;
of the regiment, sits in judgment 01
the bride, and even if their verdic
is favorable they can do no more thai
report to that effect to the colonel
in whose hands there still rests s
final power of veto.?New Yorl

the most fashionable restaurants?*
, .those of world wide reputation among
society?the frocks really do not
differ from those used for dinners in
private houses.
Americans still cling to the old
custom of wearing hats in public
places, therefore the effect in the
toilet ia different from that worn at
home. With a gown cut decollete,
though not aB low as for a dance, a
large picture hat is an essential. In
London and on the Continent women
go bareheaded to dinner.
In less fashionable restaurants a
girl should wear a light, high neck
frock, or one that has some pretense
to elegance if the color is dark. A
dark velvet, for example, would be
correct, for the material presupposes
elaboration in effect, if not in fact.
The hat to go with it must be of the
"picture order.
One of the most satisfactory gowns
for a woman who dines much in res
taurants is a light colored broadcloth.
If in gray, champagne, etc., it will
possess a certain dressiness, yet be
sufficiently strong to endure the wear
of street car travel when cabs are not
available: Such a frock should be
high neck, and if very well cut need
not be elaborately trimmed.
A black dress is always in good
form if it is well made. But it
should be relieved about the face
with a white guimpe of lace or other
thin material to give a dressy appearance.
A coat and skirt, with separate
waist, may be considered smart and
good form, but never by any chance
dressy. The suit is intended for
service, and no matter how it may be
- modelled, the combination never has
a dressy effect. For luncheons such
may be admirable, but for dinner,
: even in a restaurant, it is merely gen
eral utility.
A dark colored crepe de Chine is

I On the suggestion of Professor
Tissot, of France, an international
commission has been organized for
the purpose of transmitting wireless
time signals from stations suitably
located on coasts and islands to ves:
sels navigating all waters. The establishment
of this system would
make the determination of longitude
at sea very accurate and independent
of the errors of the chronometer,
which, indeed, would become superfluous.
For transmitting the time
signals Tissot recommends the wave
length of 1800 meters, or about 59?0
feet, which is used at the Eiffel tower
station.
! SEVENTY YEAES OF EATING.

Being a man of average appetite
and purse he would have eaten fifteen
tons of bread, which would have
made a single loaf containing 1200

Not to Give Away.
Every line in a newspaper costs
the publisher something. If it is for
the benefit of the individual it shoulc?
be paid for. If the grocer were asked
to contribute groceries to one abund
antly able to pay for them^he would
refuse. The proprietw-^f a newspaper
must pay for the free advertising
if the beneficiary does not, and yet it
is one of the hardest things to be
learned by miny, that a newspaper
has space in its columns to rent, and
must rent thfim to live. To give away
rent for anything less tuan living
rates is as fa|al to a newspaper as for
a landlord to |f urnish rent free.
