WHY NOT ?
By F: B. PATTIiSON
: ' ' um Iii . ' .- 11 il y.ijH
The harbor of Xfrftgkozig was
looking its loy?li?st on tliia mellow
October afternoon, ns the big P. and
O. steamer slowly glided ,from her
moorings amid the crowd ot ' ship-,
ping that filled the harbor.
'I here wcro not many passengers
on. board the Parraniatta, for this
whs hot a time of the year that
many people traveled from the east
homeward, but amid the stir and
,bustley attendant oji the departure
or, a big raaii'jSteamer and the set
tling down of newly joined passen
gers* two people, both passengers,
formed a tranquil contrast.
^ijijor Walton, although his eyes
Tested on the gold tipped hills they
-were, so swiftly passing, saw them
jnot at all. Iiis thoughts were ail
inward, too much occupied with a
iriiter past*to take much heed of the
surroundings of the present. It was
the old, old story-his mind was
dwelling, on-^-that of a woman'?
frailty and a man's villainy?and,
although the events which had well
uigh wrecked, Iiis life bod all hap
pened more than a year ago now,
they'were brought but too freshly
afco Iiis mind by this ;pmrney home.
""H?mel And what a homo cGl?
sing !" he said to himself bitterly.
The story was one perhaps only
too common. He and<hi3 wife, tho
latter beautiful, spoiled, yam, had..]
been staying ir. the south, of franco
And had gone on to Monte Carlo for
a 'week or. two. Here they bad met
Sir Lionel Hippesley, a handsome,
shallow young Englishman, who was
doing his best, without success, to
riiin hiniselt at the tables, although
-the money he so freely, squandered
svas not his, but' his young wife's,
-and, os a rumor, averred, he had mar
ried the pretty Scotch heiress only
*>r her fortune.
Ho was staying at. Monte Carlo
very much en garcon, his wife being
511 at home and*'unable to travel.
"He and. the Waltons became ac
quainted, and he , appeared mueh
-struck by Mrs. Waiton'o beauty,
while she was both pleased and flat
"tered by his admiration and. atten
tions, and her husband, glad that she
* should.be amused, thought or sus
pected no wrong. Under Hippesley's
.guidance Mrs. Walton became an
ardent gambler, and a good-many
ibank notes fluttered away, but Wal
ton was a rich man und co?ild afford
io indulge her every whim.
Then had come the war", in South
Africa, and Walton's regiment was
-among the first ordered to the front,
and he, departed* leaving his wife
more or less her own mistress and
vnth the command of plenty of ,mon
' ;
During hor husband's absence she
?gain met Sir Lionel Hippesley, this
.time at' home, and he, more than
:' / -over fired by her excessive beauty,
persuaded her, a too willing victim,
ito rim away with him to Paris
DFrom there she wrote to her bus
P^::^>and and told. him she had never,
really cared for him and that now
,. . *he loved only one man on earth,
.and that man was Sir Lionel Hipp?s
ley.
The blow almost stunned Walton,
?Then he was wounded and ?ivaiided
. Imme, when. ho obtained his di
.vorce. Hippesley's wife had already
'divorced her Husband. Immediately
after the trial Walton harj-starte'd
on a voyage to Japan and was now,
after a year spent-in the east, once
more returning to England. : ; ' ^ / - ,
With a short, impatient sigh Wal
ton roused himself and turned to
.go to the smoking room. As he did
ao the lady near him turned to go
helow at the same moment, and they,
came face to face. Such a beauti- :
ful, pathetic face, oui; of which
shone a pair of dark bluish gray
eyes. Walton, da for an instant hia
eyes met; hers, felt a sudden thrill
of interest, and he wondered who

and had heenstaymgp,^

to England. She was oho*>e-?xH^
by an anni, Lady Grahomu. ~

of hia iiatufo a? Sirs. .?renvillo
o the true state of Iiis feelings for
Mrs. G reu ville, but as yet he gave
her po hint, First he must toll her
his story, yet he shrank from the
idea of laying bare the shaiaeful
past before that pure soul.
It was-a couple of evenings luter.
Walton and hi3 companion leaned
side by ride over the rail and talked
in a fragmentary manner, but there
was on intonation in^ his voice, a
tenderness in his gray eyes, that
made her heart beat and stirred her
{mises strangely. Ono little hand
ay near his, and suddenly his closed
on it, und he raised it to his lips and
kissed it passionately.
,"My darling/' lie whispered,
piolet, I love you. Will you be my
wifo? Speak to me, darling. Tell
mo I have not hoped in vain."
For a moment, as he put his arm
round her and drew her to Mm, she
yielded to his embrace: then she
hurriedly drew herself away.
..' "Wait until tomorrow/' she.mur
mured: "I?I will tell you then if
you still care to hear."
"Care to hear V-v he cried passion
ately. "Child, don't you guess how
much I love you?''
But with u sad little smile she flit
ted from his side and was lost in the
shadows of the, deck.
Punctually at 6 o'clock the next
day Mrs. Grenville appeared on deck,
looking very lovely in her white
drc^, though her f aco was p?le and
.heavy shadows rested under the
gray blue "eyes. Walton, to whom
her coming was as a glimpse of para
dise, hurried forward to meet her,
and he carried her deck chair to a
secluded corner, shaded from the
glaro of the afternoon run,. which
was now creeping to its rest.
"Well, Violet, which is~t to be?"
he whispered. ?Ycu don't know
I;what tortures of impatience and un
certainty I have suffered since last
I- night. Is it to be?yes?" And he
tried to read iijs answer in her avert
ed eyes. I
"Wait," she n^irih?red faintly. I
"I?I have something to tell you be- !
for? I'give you my answer?some
thing, that you ought to know. If
after^-you still care, I*?will?say ;
yes. I
"My darling," be cried, "Violet,
only say you love me a little, and I
don't care for anything else I" ' ?
<rYes,1?I do care for you," she j
whispered, "more than I thought IJ
could care for any one. I feel I can \
trust you, lean on you, respect you,
and you do not know what all that
means to a woman who has suffered
as I have and has had every il lu si on
stripped from her. Listen, and I
will tell you my story. To hegin \
with, I am not a widow, as you
thought, %'l my name is not Gren

and I took it when I dropped my i
own, after-?after I was divorced. I
divorced my husband nearly two'
years ago now. We had only been j
married a short time, and I was ill,
when he went abroad and met there .
a married woman who, I suppose; at- *
tracted. him. But, to cut tho Btory j
short, he?he finally ran away with
her to PariB after her husband had
been ordered out to Sjouth Africa, j
She was a Mrs. Walton?-oddly ]
enough, a namesake of yours." |
Walton had turned livid. "Good
Godl" ha cried hoarsely. "My
wife!"
"Your wife!" echoed his compan
ion. "Then?^then you"? And she
sank back in her chair polo and
trembling.
"Yes," he answered thickly, "my
wife. I was the husband of that
wretched wooian."
"Tnen it was not a coincidence,
os I thought it was, your name be

this," she murmiired brokenly. ^

THE CHILDREN'S HOLIDAY.
In China New Year's la the Little !
Ones' Great Day.
Except at the CliLnese New Year, ;
which comes in February, it is very , <
hard to catch a glimpse of children . <
in China, little beggars will run j *
beside you for milps to earn one j i
"cash,'"' a copper coin With i: squaro j
hole in the middle of it, worth the ' ]
twentieth, of a cent, but children | 1
who have parents to care for them
seem to be kept indoors all the timo
or only allowed to play in walled
yards and gardens. Wc usc-d to say
to each other: "Why, where arc tho
children? Haven't they got any?"
But at New Year's we found out
thai they had. This is the great
holiday of all tho yeur in China,
when everybody hangs out flags and
colored lonterns and sets oil firc
'erackere. We borrowed our custom
of firecrackers for the Fourth of
July from Chipese New Year's. All
tho people put on their very best
clothes and the children the best of
all, jackets and trousers of bright
blue or green or yellow or purple,
the boys and tho girls so much aliko
that you can only tell them apart
by their hair. The boy's, of course,
is braided in a pigtail, and tlie girl's
is done up on her head with silver
pina or, if she's a very grand little
girl, with gold or jade. Thus deck
ed out the children go walking with
their proud papas and mammas and
often go to the theater, which is a
rare treat for them.
^ Perhaps Chinese children have
romping plays together, but they
always look as if they were born
grown up.-?Bertha Runkle in St.
Nicholas. ._

A Passionate Soene.
Her eyes were wild. Her hair was
in disorder. Her face was flushed.
Her hands were clinched. She was
a deeply injured and^desperate wom
an.
"Oh, cruel one," she 'cried in an-:
guished tones, "I have borne With
you too long! You have injured,
you bavo tortured me, and yet I
could not boar to givo you up. When
first We met, how your ease and pol
ish attracted me 1 When you became
my own, how my friends envied me!
But your underst&nding ia too small
.for my large soul. You are opposed
to my advancing'myself. You have
ruined my standing in society. If
we had never -met I might have
walked in peace. So now begone.
We part forever."
There was r. momehrB convulsive
breathing, a gritting of teeth and a
sharp sigh. It was all over. .By a
supreme effort she had pulled off her
new shoe.
Too Difficult.
In a Pennsylvania town where the
Friends abound a- prim old Quaker
spinster one day attended the mar
riage of her grandnephew> a. young
person who had in the cours? of
his twenty-one years received much
needed discipline at her hands.
The old lady was at her best on
this, festive occasion, and at a pause
in the wedding, breakfast hor young
relative looked over at her with a
beguiling smile.
"Tell us why thee never married,
Aunt Patieiioe?^ he said twsingiy.
;^c?*irhat is soon told, William," said
the old Quakeress calmly. "It was
because ? was, hot as easy pleased as
thy wife was.5"

An old lady was toiling up* the
Btops : of an Edmburgh church on a
Sunday night , when a kindly elderly

THE PARIS BALLET.
Sevcro Training That Deg?ns When j
the Dancers Are Children. t<
Members of the ballet in the Pari3 J u
3pern House are given a most thor- ; u
>ugh training. The sixty-four
'eleves," better known as the "rats,"
ire selected at the age of eight
fears. They are chosen, in- the lirs.t
[>laee, for their prettiness nad in- J *
telligence. This thins down the
number of candidates by over 50
per cent. The second test is the
medical examination, only children
sound in wind and limb being ac
cepted. Every day for an hour they
cnust go through the drill, stretching
out their legs while they hold on to
the rail fixed to the wall. They
must be able to go through all the
movements without any sign o? out
ward fatigue. The professors are
entirely dependent on moral suasion
by word and gesture. Ko child ^is j?
ever touched with the bands. If it "
has not the gift of carrying out the
instructions by the aid of its eyc3
and ears it is no good for the Paris
ballet. A dancer who must be placed
in the proper position by means of
the teacher's hands may as well
abandon the profession. Sho will
never be a success. At the end of
the second or sometimes the third
year the girls come into a higher de
partment.
Here the most severe exercises are
gone through till every muacle is de
veloped to its highest perfection.
When the pupil has gone through
this curriculum with success1 she is
promoted to the rank of "coryphee."
In order to Batisfy the require ments
they must know the "five positions."
Those five positions ax? the alpha
and omega of the dance, and in
them arc carried out all the figures
used. When perfection has beep,
reached then the dancer has reached
the rank of "sujet," the highest in
the terp8ichorear> hierarchy. To be
come a" "sujet" is the ambition of
every member of the school, for the
"sujet" has the right to aspire to
everything. . Sho can become a great
star in, the operatic firmament.
Salaries of those who reach the
rank of "premiere danseuse" at the
Paris Opera run from $8,000 to $10,
000 a year. But even if the "sujet*"
does not reach this giddy height she
enjoys a number of valuable priv
ileges. She is no longer condemned
to share in the common dressing
room. She, with a comrade, has the
right to a private room, which she
has the privilege of dec-orating as
the pleases. A "premiere sujet"
receives a salary of from $2,000 to
$3,000 u year, so that, as a career
the ballet in the Paris Opera is fair
ly remunerative. The work is hatd,
and only girls exceptionally gifted
with intelligence, artistic sense, per
severance nnd a capacity ?or accept
ing an iron discipline can succeed.
Suspicion Versus Superstition.

They Were Not Durable.

Congress on tho Republican tioket in
Georgia, is in New York, He owns
10,000 acres of mountain lands among
the moonshine mountains of North
western Georgia, where snakes aro
plentiful and boars are not unknown.
When he oame North he brought as
pets for two little niccco near New
York a pair of 'possums. He had
Luuoh trouble transporting them in a
grip-saok, beoanse the animals got
loose in the Pullman oar several
times. They'd awing on the bell rope
and stop the train. They'd get on the
of the automatic brake and put
the meohaniem out of business. How
ever, he got them here.
Yesterday he visited his sister's
family and asked one of the little
aeioes about the strango pett.
"They are very interesting," said'
the ! en-year-old girl, "but they are
aot darable." .
"Durable ?" repeated Ashley in
unazement.
''Yes, they're all to pieces. Wo
put them in the yard and, somehow,
