I dare say, but I can't get up much enthusasm over a small man." "How can you think him small? Fie may be rather short, now that I :hink of it. but he-was acknowledged :he finest athlete in his class, and he certainly is fine looking. And he's a :horoughly splendid fellow, which :ounts for more than mere exterlals." The first speaker cleared her hroat as if irritated. "I have yet to be convinced that i small man hasn't a small nature md little manly courage. It is possible for an athlete to be a coward, '"Ou will probably concede." The man on the other side of the vail, lazily reclining behind a clump >f spruces, wondered at the acrimony n the voice. He felt for the moment hat it would give this girl pleasure o know that he heard her scathing emarks of him and that they hurt, ie half arose, upon an ironical immlse to make his presence known, hen drew back as the voices receded lown the country road. Why did she dislike him so blterlv? He had been greatly attracted o her upon his arrival at this place, md a strong sympathy had seemed o spring up between them at once. 3y a mutual drawing together they valked and rode and golfed and alk&d day after day in close associaion with one another until the ad rent of Stephen Bates upon the scene, who, as Foster was told, was an old riend between whom and Rose Jlynn there existed a perfect undertanding. This story was borne out >y the cordiality of their greeting md the attitude of Bates. Guy had hen felt that she had taken him up is a pastime, and with a disappointnent deeper than he at that time ealized, he had thenceforward given ip the field to his favored rival. Miss Jlynn's manner toward him underwent a marked change. She treated tim with slighting indifference, borlering on scorn. He could account or it only upon the ground of the canton cruelty that a certain type >f woman indulges toward the victim >f her charirfs. Her words cut him to-day. Yet. itrange to say, it was the shaft at lis physical stature that was barbed, rhe slur against his '"nature" and 'courage" seemed trifling; but the >ther rankled. Rose Glynn was very all. and Stephen Bates stood a head ibove her. With the thought of Bates the furies suddenly seized him. Sandsome as a prince, of winning >ersonality and great wealth, what :hance could Foster ever have had igainst him. even if he had not been oo late in the field? He felt a coniuming, unreasonable hatred toward ! %??? r* s\s*ssr\+ IfttrAr nf t Vi a c*i rl Q n rl in Lie pLevi IU \ CI V/V. SU1, uuu he fire of his passion there flared up nto his vision the revelation that he limself loved her with all the inensity of his life. It was late in the evening when, ifter a Ions swim in the cooling sea, le returned to the hotel. The hythmic strains of dance music heat softly upon his weary senses, and he paused for a moment at the door of the ballroom on his way upstairs. Fascinated, he watched a certain tall :ouple moving gracefully among the :hrong. They were well matched, he had to admit. A startled look came into Miss Glynn's face when she saw him, and remembering his rough appearance, he quickly withdrew. Going to his room, he packed his trunks ?for he intended to be gone on the morrow, and then went to bed. He awoke, stifling. The room was full of smoke. Some twenty minuter later, standing with a solemn crowd in a neighboring field, he. watched the doomed building By a strange and unconscious mutuality of action he and Rose Glynn were standing side by sid'.*. Suddenly he rernern bered. ' Where is Bates?" he asked sharp ly. Nobody hod seen him. Mis: Glynn had sunk to the ground anc covered her face. Foster bent over her. "Couraze," ho said firmly. "I will brinz him t< you?if he is to be found!" Soon the awe-struck crowd saw : ladder raised and the figure of a inai Swiftly ascend to an upper story am disappear within the burning strur ture. After an agony of waiting they saw him reappear, bearing th< limp form of a man upon his shoul der. As he slowly descended the: saw, with mute horror, the flashin; play of flames in the room froa which the pair had emerged. Shortly after sunrise Guy Foste was pacing the floor of the "bes room" in a neighboring farmhouse his tace and hands swathed in whit lin-'n. His eyes and mouth olou were uncovered. Mis.- Glynn, he eyes badly swollen with wcepin? timidly entered. "How is he?" < anie hoarsely froi the bandaged lace. "The doctor says he is doing well, j i f is fnce was saved by the wet to we.' you hound about his head. You? ' you should have protected yourself, also." I He made no reply, but stood as il expecting her to go. "Why did you speak lo me oi Stephen Bates as you did?" she asked in a strained voice. "He is nothing to nie hut a friend. I am j grateful to you for saving him from so fearful a fate?but you?misun- J derstood?" Her voice trailed fair.t lv away, then strengthened again. ' "I came to tell you that I knew you , were behind the wall this morning, i What I said did not express my real thought?I said it to hurr. you?I ; kuew then it wasn't true?\" His heart was lighter than it had been for weeks. i "Why did you want to hurt me?" , he asked gently. Her hand was on the door knob in [ sudden panic. Ignoring his question, j she bravely finished what she had [ come to say. "I came to ask your forgiveness for the terrible injustice . , of my words." "Rose?Miss Glynn?Hang these ( bandages! How the deuce can a mummy?" But she was gone. Weeks afterward, in her cosey sit- ! j ting room in town, she told him all ( I he wanted to know.

And thus they went on, in the fashion of lovers since time began, savoring present happiness with the sweet misery of past woes.?Boston<Post. BACK FROM CANADA. _____ Some Farmers Who Emigrated Are ! Coming Home. A counter movement of immigration from Canada into the United States has apparently set in, if the influx from "over the line" in northern Montana may be taken as indicative of the present trend. According to an official report by United States Collector of Customs Blair at Sweetgrass in that State, hundreds of families have come over from Canada within the past week and have taken up government lands in Montana; | this movement began early in the j winter and has increased each day | until the total of newcomers from ! across the line has reached many j thousands. These newcomers are J v very largely men rfnd women who had , given up their citizenship in the United States in urder to take up Cana- ' dian government lands; some of them , have be&n in Canada long enough to ; prove up their homesteads, but large j numbers of them have come back j without waiting to obtain title to ; their government lands, or have sold ! their relinquishments, or deeded their lands. So there would appear to be j no call for official or other action in this country to "stem the tide" of j American immigration into Canada, j These things always adjust them- j selves if let alone. The Canadian ; land boom, the "call to the far north- j west," caught many thrifty Ameri- J can fr.rmers no doubt who. had tbey , taken thought and deliberately meas- j ured the chances for the success or | the failure of the experiment, would j never have ' pulled up stakes"?and 1 it is this class apparently that is now | moving southward in "the States;" j others will stay and fight it out, of i course. The incident is at least be- ! ginning to disclose tLat there is an. j unstable and migratory contingent among our northwestern farmers that is never quite satisfied with existing conditions. The great bulk of our northern and western farmers must sooner or later learn, however, that if a change is desirable, the south \ holds out the greatest attractions for J j them.?New York Commercial. : Bachelors Boycott Servian Beauty.

A great part of our education is sympathetic and social. Boys and girls, said Emerson, who have been brought up with well-informed and superior people show in their manners an inestimable grace. Fuller say? that "William, Earl of Nassau, won a subject from the Kinp of Spain every time he took off his hat." You cannot have one well-bred man without a whole society of such. They keep each other up to any high point. Especially women; it requires a great many cultivated women? salons of brigat, elegant, reading women, accustomed to ease and refinement, to spectacles, pictures, sculpture, poetry and to elegant society?in order that you should have one Madame de Stael. "Woman and Love. One thing that the generalizes never take into consideration (possibly because they do not know it, and generally because they are men or old-fashioned women) is the enormous percentage ot non-maternal women. Whether this was the case in ancient times, or whether it is the gradual result of education and leisure, increased independence and the facilities for knowing men before marriage, I cannot say, but the fact remains that thousai ('j of women that are married ought not to be; are the dutiful mothers of children whom :hey secretly regard as enemies. They have married in their springtime because tradition and youthful instinct (nothing is more evanescent) suggested it. There was a time, happily passing, when the collocation "old niaid" was almost a term of insult; when it was even a matter of pride to be a young grandmother. There is no possible doubt that whether women get. the vote soon or late, this division of their sex will come early and more early to the conclusion that the less they have to do with love the happier they will be.?Gertrude Athenon, ia Harper's Bazar." A Word About Julia Ward Howe. Jul.a Ward Howe, author and reformer, was born May 27, 1819, in a handsome home in Bowling Green, New York City. At the time of her birth that part of the city was the most desirable residence quarter, being both aristocratic and fashionable. Her father, Samuel Ward, was a merchant and banker of New York. Four of her ancestors were Governors of Rhodo Island, two of them beingWards and two Greens. On both paternal and maternal sides Mrs. Howe sorun& from fine old blood. When in her fifth >ear Julia Ward lost her mother, a beautiful and accomplished woman cf twenty-eight. Six little ones?of whom Julia was the fourth?were l?ft without a mother's love and care. Of her father Mrs. Ward has this to say: "He was a majestic person, of somewhat severe aspect and reserved manners, but with a vein of true geniality and benevolence of heart. His great gravity and the absence of a mother nat" ' * 1 *1? * . ~ ^.1? *1,^ 1 .AllOrt urany suuuueu uie uj.ic vi iuk uuu?fi hold: and. though ;i greatly cherished set of children, we were not a j merry one." Although as a child Julia Ward showed remarkable aptitude in her studies, being advanced to classes comprised of girls twice her own age. she was still a nierrv, playful child at heart, and when, on her ninth birthday, her dolls were taken away from her and she was told iu a serious jig tone by her aunt that ' Miss Ward was too old to play with dolls any longer," the separation from her playthings almost broke her heart, and many nights she wept herself to sleep on her pillow, mourning for her pretty toys that had been so ruthlessly denied her. Her father provided the finest tutors for his children, and the Ward home became the centre of a distinguished class of people, artists, writers and musicians gathering there at regular intervals to enjoy the gracious hospitality of their host and the society of his brilliant sons and daughters, of whom Julia was the most gifted.?Washington Star. ' Queen Goes Shopping. A few days after my arrival at Milan, while strolling one afternoon on the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, that favorite Milanese and cosmopolitan resort, I passed a glove shop, and remembered that I had left my gloves in the railway carriage. I thought I might as well buy a new pair, and entered the shop. A customer had gone in before me, a lady, young, tall and slender, quietly but elegantly dressed in a plain, dark traveling frock. Through the long, blue motor veil that closely shrouded her face I could dimly see her large, dark eyes and masses of black hair. The face appeared .to be refined and pretty. She was leaning over the counter and trying on gloves which a young shop assistant handed to her. "They are too large," she said, shyly. '"That is because the signora has so small a hand," replied the young assistant gallantly. She smiled and did not ansyer. An elderly lady who was with her gave the youth an indignant and scandalized glance. After patiently allowing the measure of her hand to be taken, open and closed?it was inhe lentils, about a pint, in water for ver night. Drain, cover with fresh until very soft.

To serve this cut in slices, or curant jelly. deed a very small one?she found two pairs of gloves that suited her, paid for them and turned to go. Just then the owner of the shop returned. He looked at the lady, gave a bewildered start, and, as soon as she was gone, shouted to his assistant: "Have you the least idea whom you have been serving?" "A very pretty woman?I know that!" "Idiot! It was the Queen! " The Queen! It was my turn to feel bewildered. The Queen alone, unprotected, in that arcade full of people! I was on the point of following her, from professional habit, forgetting that I was not at Milan as an official, but as a private .tourist. But it was too late, she had already disappeared in the crowd.?Xavier Paoli, in McClure's. Two materials frequently appear in one light gown. Some braid novelties show touches of leather in their make-up. Cushion covers of suede leather are exceedingly popular this season. Coarse blue linen frocks, embroidered with blue and coral silk, are made for young girls. Either banding, piping, or feather stitching in color is effective for the small boy's Russian suit. Wreaths, bow knots and roses are the favorite designs on the embroidered silk hosiery for the bride. Thp cIppvpIpsc r>r>nfc r>f tVin mnet diaphanous materials promise to be more popular than ever this season. Parasols of embroidered linen are popular. They are only suitable for carrying with linen or cotton frocks. In place of the narrow stitching characteristic of the short glove of last season, the long silk glove now worn has wide embroiderv on the back in self-color or in black. So popular is the frill of pleating at the left of the front of the shirt waist that blouses which fasten in the back are given the blouse's closing effect by means of dainty accessories. The jabot is a long frill and gives length; the rabat is a flat little tab which lends an air of doctrinal severity to the prettiest face; the plisso is the side frill, the most popular of all. The prettiest raci in fans is tne plisse?the ruff of chiffon with dainty ribbon roses set in to wear over a tailored suit with a collarless blouse. It is soft, crisp and becoming to the face. Little girls are wearing hats that have departed from the simplicity that has been so popular. A mass of lace and frills crowns little ones' heads, no matter how plain the coat and dress may be A very interesting trimming shows (insel cord balls strung 011 heavy soutache, knotted at intervals.

He had been educated partly n the public schools, but mainly at iome. by his mother and father. His )ay, at this time, was sixty cents a lay. His hours of labor were from ireakfast until bedtime. For his oom and meals he was paying $1 a veek, so that his net income?the >asis of his dream of fortune and phianthropy?was not more than $135 l year. Even at this time, and with this ncome, he built a tiny little founda:ion of his own.

The notebook in which tlnse little * jhilanthropic entries were made Js itill in existence. It is knowi^by :he name of "Ledger A" in the R&rk ;ieuer iamuy. u is a completely vorn out little notebook, with broten cover and tattered pages of laded writing, but it is one of the nost precious treasures in the Hocke'eller vaults. It has more than a personal Interest now. It has sudlenly become historic, because it records the origin of "the most com-' jrehensive scheme of benevolence in ;he whole history of humanity." The managerial instinct was so strong In this boy that he was not satisfied with merely paying his share nto the contribution boxes. By the i ;ime he was nineteen he had ripened nto an organizer of benevolence, tie was a member of a mission :hurch, which was fast breaking idwn under the weight of a $2000 Mortgage. This sixty - cent - a - day pouth undertook to collect the M AMATT n ? In A /I i /J XLUUCJ't auu. uc uiu ik. "That was a proud day," he said In later years, "when the last dollar was collected." Little as he knew It, the boy was then at work upon the fulfilment of ills dream to become perhaps the greatest getter, and the greatest giv?r, of his generation. Later, when he became a prosperous man of business and large affairs, he still retained the habit of organizing his giving as well as his getting. He even went so far as to organize his family into a sort of foundation. At the breakfast table tie would distribute the various appeals for help among his children, requesting them to investigate each ;ase and make a report to him on the following day. In this way his children, and especially his, son and aamesake, who is destined to distribute the revenue of the Rockefeller fortune, received a Spartan training In "the difficult art of giving.".. The whole bent of the Rockefeller mind seems to have been inclined from the first toward the working out of this problem of distribution. The business of the Standard Oil Company itself is much more a matter of distribution than of production, [t was unquestionably the first company that undertook to sell its product directly to the users on a worldwide scale. For the most part, it delivers its oil, not to wholesalers and middlemen, but to the family that burns it, whether it be in the United States or in the uttermost parts of the earth. It has, for instance, no fewer than 3000 tank wagons traveling lirom door to door in the twenty ;ountries of Europe, selling pints and quarts of liquid light to whosoever demands it. Fully 51,000,000 a week, in foreign gold or its equivalent, comes to this country to pay for the oil that is peddled to the doors of hut ana paiace, aauiuiug tu iue Rockefeller plan of international distribution. Consequently, both bjo natural aptitude and business experience. Mr. Rockefeller was well prepared to work out the problem of distributing the surplus money of the rich in a systematic and efficient manner. His new foundation is no afterthought It is no sudden change of mind or change of heart. It is the natural result of fifty years of experience and experiment.
