A very old woman, cowering over the ;

"Something for breakfast, grauny,"

' "What for? It ain't supper time yet,

, "Oh, bother the towelst I want to

"Humph!" Naomi ironed away with

v "Kb? What ye bilkin' 'bout. Who's

"Cranny don't know," said Naomi.
"I guess she's the only one that don't.
Mis* Stuart, granuy? Why, she's the

the new schooima'am. Ask our Dave if

"Ask .lohii Classonl" added David,
angrily. "Naomi's jealous?that's

"Perhaps, then," mI<1 she, "you can

otoe white, needle-like particles out of

Naomi, indifferently. "Then turn U

The bright -tressed girl still lingered
on the doorstep.
"I am not very well acquainted with
the roeds around here," said she. "11
you could send a boy to show me?"
*'Wc don't keep no boy," said Naomi.
"And we've no one to send.'*
Again Miss Stuart recoiled.
"Good-evening!" she said, gently.
"Good-evening!"
And Naomi banged the door shut.
As she sat eating her supper,and helping
granny to fresh supplies of homemade
bread and butter,a sudden thought
Juried into her inind.
lu giviog Miss Stuart the directions
lor finding her way hack to tikeue's
Corners, she had forgotten the young
itrungcr'a total ignorance of the neighborhood
characteristic-;.
It was true that the regulir roui
crunched off to the right of the ruined
tile which had once been an old stone
avern; but there were was also a dia
ised thoroughfare which lo I through a
lisrnut swuiup, towcrd h long abandoned
itono quarry, across it rotten corduroy
oad, which had ncurly sunk into one of
;h?3e frightful, quaking hogs which
loiuotiiues upper r in deuse and swampy
woods.
To one unaccustomed to the local
:opography, it might be perilously easy
;o stray olf iuto the weed-grown and deicrtcd
track, especially when everything
was whitened with fait falling snow.
Naomi sprung up and went to the
loor. She looked out, with one hand
lield above her her eyes.
"Am I losing my wits?" she thought.
"Of course I cannot see half a dozen
rods dowu the run I; It's dark as pitch,
and snowing into ihc bargain. Let her
go her own gait! I ain't responsible!"
A sudden light bin/ :d in her eyes, as
if Satan's self had tin-died a lurid bombshell
across hersmil. John Classou, hoi
own "steady company," h?"l been dazzled
?at least so spoke the tongue of popular
rumor?by the glitter of Kda Stuart's
sea-blue eyes. She, the late belle of
Skene's Corners, was quite out of fashion
now!
Kda had danced every dance at Squire
Marbury's corn-husking,uud Naomi had
silt by among the wall-(lowers,her heart
swelling with secret anger.
Though Naomi hated the beautiful
blonde, she rose up again and reached
down the lantern that Davi I had replaced
011 its hook by the kitchen chimney.
"Granny," said she lo the dozing old
woman, "I'm going out a few minute-."
"Kb? What?" shrilly questioned
granny, "lie you u-goin' to see the ne?v
forte piunny! It you bewitched arter
the new school ma'am, too?"
Naomi made no reply. She halite I tho
lantern, bundled a shawl around her
hea<l, ami rushed out into the frozen
darkness.
It was allowing Inird now; the wind
rustled the pine trees with a mournful
sound, and had nearly litowu out the
faint beacon of Naomi's lantern until she
sheltered it. with her shawl.
She gained some distance hy climbing
ninthly over a stone wali and traversing
a stuhhly meadow, instead of following
the windings of the road, and presently
arrived, panting lot breath,at. the ruined
stone tavern.
She held the lantern high a*.ove her
head and looked around. Nolto ly was
visible. She called aloud, "Miss Stuart!
Miss Stuart!" No answer ca.ne.
For one second she hesitated; then,
changing the lantern from ouc hand to
the other, she staste I on a run down tho
disused track until she came to the spot
where here and there a partially sub
merged log betoken.1 I the former traces
of tlie corduroy road.
Was that something white that moved
against the dazzling whiteness of the
storm?
Once inore Naomi called:
"Miss Stuart! Miss Stuart!"
"tVn, is that you? Do come here and
help me!" a terrilied voice answered.
"I stepped on a broken log, and F think
the ground must he swampy here; the
log seems to be sinking in. Hut I've
got tight hold of a young lurch tree "
Naomi sprang to the rescue. Kda had
already set her feet upon thfe doomed
sp.it. In another moment the rescuer
would have been too late!
With u strength at which she hersell
iifieiwani marveled, Naoiui seized Eda
around the waist ami lifted her out ut the
morass.
"I).? you know," site gasped, "that
you have Imvii standino face to face with

Bis^T??wPRri?5i?c Brooklyn Bridge. Oi
No douhi many people have wondered
what become* of tlio millions of ticket* ul
sold and collected annually by the New ^
York and( Brooklyn Bridge Company. ^
One who his given some thought to the ?'
Hiinjnrt tells what might be done with
them, and incidentally gives other figure* Ashowing
the magnitude of the traffic on bt
the Bridge. Here they are just as he K1
gave them:
"Over forty one million of people ?
crossed the bridge in 1891 on the bridge ?
cars and promcnude. Could all the hands
which nave purchased tickets be joined w
together at the ond of the year, a circle
could bo formed 14,112 miles in diameter,
or 42,336 miles in circumference;
a distance Pnllftl tn (ini> u nrt nno.half m
? u? ??
times around tlie, earth. If the grand In
chain were^ suggested, and the fastest w
trains and ships employed, it would be
nearly three months before one could 111
make the bow and return to his place beside
his partner. ^
'A soli<f*?unre of 20,634 columns of
2000 men each, covering over three
square miles, or 2000 acres, could be
formed of the ticket purchasers. "
"It would take 687,806 passenger "
coaches, allowing sixty persons to the
coach, or 45,853 trains of fifteen coaches (j
each to carry this crowd away. If a |0
hundred a minute could he counted
without stopping during tho twenty- j);
four hours, it would require over eight h<
months to count them. If hollow squares hi
of 300 feet square can be conceived to c;
be placed one upon the other, the enor- h
mous height of nine miles would would
be reached. By forming a triangular
pyramid with u baso of 20,460 square
inches, a pyramid could be had much
higher than that of "Cheops'* in Egypt.
If stretched out in a line, so that tho
head of one person would touch the feet P'
of another, they would reach a distance
of 311,179 miles.
"The carriages, wagons, etc., that ?
cross in one year would, if strung out, e"
reach 25,732 miles, or more than once ^
around the earth. j
"it would take a train of 42,458 box
cars, with 2123 engines, to haul the sl
people away, and would, if coupled to- (e
getber, cover 322 miles, or reach from a,
New York to lticlunond. st
"The tickets, it joined together con- 1}
tinuously, would reach from New York le
to St. Paul, a distance of over thirteen
hundred miles, and would weigh very
nearly a ton. There would be enough
tickets to cover the bridge promenade jj
to mo ueptu ol an eighth of au inch. If (J,

The King Acknowledged His Mistake. (
The good nature of Italy's King is
well illustrated by an anecdote from the ^
days of the last royal hunts at Monza. ,|
King Humbert is accustomed to take hie
mort with the gun in pretty much the (>
same clothes as other persons and with- t(
out attendants, thereby distinguishing ],
him Iroiu his imperial German ally, who t<
litis insignia of his high office all over i
his hunting costume and is accompanied p

Shortly before the end of last season
the Kind's liouud started a hare about ft'
t>.o ruil-'s fr >ni Monza, nn<l the King M
tired. At the sa:4ie instant another shot ,e
\nas heard, and an Italian peasant, with ni
an old-fashioned gun and ? mongrel 01
hog, hunted up from the opposite diree- lv
lion. The peasant mistook the simple '
\? t elegantly clad sportsman who dis- ^
puled his possession of the hare for a
l{ tinan dude, and caught up the royal ''
arm stretched toward the dead game.
There was a hot discussion, which ended
in the triumph of the King's superior
logic, and his taking olT the hare. |j
At the royal castlo the King gave the tl
hare to the servants that they might pre- (

i t! ? >' dressed it for the jmn. When tho
enii iils were removed the bullet that
earned the animal's death was found. It '
was of the old style of a gun, of the '
pattern of lifty years ago. The King "
looked at it aud at once sent out a messenger
to summon to the castle the
peasant who had disputed the possession
of the hare. When the old man was led J,
into the King's preseuco the latter ?*
stretched to him both hands and said:
"My dear man 1 have just discovered I
my mistake. The hare belongs to you. ,
As it is already roasting, however, 1 can
do no more than to ask vou to help m? s
mi it. '

Some curious facts are brought int
romineoce by a correspondent of
ycling, who has been at the pains to
i%w up a comparative table of the rates
f speed in different modes of locolotion.
The express train, of course,
nH? ??z[zzzt. "-u ii<w as yet
iscovered no way of getting about
ister on the earth's surface. It will bo
etirpise, however, to many to learn
lar the safety bicycle, of which so much
beard nowadays, only occupier in this
it the seventh place.
The fastest time in which a train has
on known to travel a milo was fortyno
seconds and a fraction; to accomish
the same distance the fastest birclist,
who has hitherto ridden, took
ro and three-quarter minutes, or just
>out three times as long. An ice yacht
us traveled a mile iu oue minute and teu
conds, a running horse in one minute
id thirty-five and a half secouds, a torsdo
boat in one minute and titty
conds, a steam yacht in two minutes
id twelve seconds and a fraction, aud
skater on ice, with a favorable wind
:bmd him, in two minutes and twelve
conds and rather a large fraction. A
ttle way after the safety bicycle comes
10 ocean liuer; the oarsman is much
ower, taking fire minutes aud forty
conds to travel a mile, and the slowt
of all is the swimmer, who requires
iry little short of an hour to perform
ic same jouruey.
