It wasn't that Miss Iluybottom and I bad only- bowing acquaintance. In truth, -we had had a great deal more than that' 'Operas, balls, teas, picnics, ex cursions by laud and water, wulks, talks and drives-we had enjoyed them jail together, expecting so to continue .to the end of our lives. But one day, .as we stood looktec over the pictures ihanging for a prize in the Mark Henry art rooms, among which was cu.** of Alice's, ehe suddenly tore my rlrg fiom iier finger, throw. It at me, br.?r,c Into tears and fled, crying oui that ehe .hoped sh? would never see me again. I am naturally ti proud mau and, not being able to perceive, any reason for ber actions, took her nt ber word and sailed that nlgfit for Europe. The year of my absence had dragged woof ully, .and I come home, all the while d?bat- i lng whether I should seek her again or .whether I should let pride dominate love. Now, fate seemed to have given poor love a chance, so with some little -trepidation-1 went forward and stood at her seat. ' "Good afternoon, Miss Iluybottom," I said politely. * She looked up, her, face tremulous -with blushes. "Whyi Joel" she .e? .clalmed. "How glad I am to see you! Do sit down." I sat down, my heart throbbing with .happiness.- I was about to blurt it nil out at once-my longing for ber and my delight ot being with her again- . :when my eyo chanced to fall on her ?ult case.' In great glaring letters I ?read, "Mrs. Dr. Arbolaste." ' I received two separate Individual ?hocks-tho first that she was denied to : me forever, the secondthat her charac ter had lost something of Ixe sweet s?n .pllclty to allow of her proclaiming her- j ?elf as "Mrs. Doctor/' ?Isn't It dell0bt?ul that we both bap^ pened to get this tr^In?" slio/sald, her ?weet fae? still pink. "I remembered that-your mother lives around here, ?omewhere. X suppose you are visiting Iber." . -, . I bowed assent I couldn't trust my ; tvolce just yet. . "I-hnV visiting, too, but . I am going Thome soon. I'm glad. Tm-on my way 1 ?to see. No, 43. I don't think ? could 1 ?tond many more relatives.'' j I Siunt have proved a sorry conversar. j ttlonallst, but Alice didn't seem to no- J ftice. Sh? chatted In her charming way. Bier voice thrilling me as of old, her per- 1 Isonallty anding delightful zigzags ot I feeling ail ov?r hie, but through lt all I ./ ?was tasting the bitter fact that she be- j1 longed to another. 1 "Ailee," I said at last, "now that lt ls - 4o? late to repair mistakes, it probably & rwoh't be any good for you to tell mo 1 jwhy you threvv sse) off so suddenly that 1 day In the Mark Henry, but lt would be fl of consid?rable satisfaction to me to . j Sa?w.f^j .i j, 4,Yott said 'you thought I should win' 1 la prize; for lt was the poorest collection . ?of pictures you bad seen? for a long J While," ?

"Why didn't they Btart lu time?" "Why, the clock was slow. How could they help lt if they didn't know tho clock waa slow?" Alice's tone waa reproving. ' "Why, If it had not been the clock it would have been something else," I asseverated; Neither of us spoke for awhile. Alice was watching her neighbors, and I was walting for her undivided attention. Finally when they began to observo the landscape Alice took off ber glasses. "Aunt Ita ebel will probably come In tho car at tho next station," she said, "and yon may remember oho ls rather demonstrative. When she kisses me she always presses my glasses into my eyes or nose, so I have learned that it is tho best thing to ??e prepared." By her innocent manner ono would hi> v j thought she had forgotten tho times she had taken off her glosses when we had been driving or boating. I really felt discouraged. "Well, If your, Aunt Rachel is coming ? had better vamoose. She won't want to seo me." ( i "Oh, she doesn't bear you any ill will. She bas forgotten alt about that unfox t?nate speech. Besides, sho Isn't going on. She wrote that she would bo here to chat with me while the train waited." Aunt Rachel lu an astonishing com bination of retie and purples carno 'aboard. She greeted Alice according to prediction and me with flattering cor diality. "But, my Uear," she exclaimed, "why weren't you on the train yesterday? I thought it was yesterday when you W?ireto come." ''lt was yesterday," admitted Alice, with tho ghost of a glauca in my direc tion, "but I missed the train owing to my watch being ten minutes slow. I don't give that as a very good excuse, though. If it hadn't been my watch it would have been something else very likely." I groaned in the bitterness of my spir it Why hadn't I kept quiet my inter fering tongue? Fate was hut making game of me, after all. Sh >rtly after Aunt Rachel's departure the train shot Into a tunnel. Just as I was considering tho advisability of going into the smok er and shooting myself a soft little hand stole Into mine and the sweetest voice in the universe murmured: 'v'T have an idea tbl3 is a very short tunnel. Joe, and-and-my glasses are sUll off." Her Dowry. When Mrs. Simpson ?aid down the paper she bad been reading she looked thoughtfully at ber husband for some moments . before she spoke..From across the cold little ball came the sound of Arabella s voice and that of the y?un? mah she was soon to marry. V*rWe haven't got a sign of a. dowry for Arabella, pa," said Mrs. Simpson at last. ''What's 'jot?" asked Mr. Simpson, suddenly roused from his perusal of th3 Meekly, paper. "A dowry Is things parent? give a laughter when sbe's married, like heir looms and money and. fino linen," said Mrs. Simpson impatiently. "You knoW; that, but you've forgotten.

MENTAL ATTITUDE. 1? H DB SI uc l? to Do With Winnini Succ?da In Life. The montai aliitudo which wo ai? ways hold toward our work or our alco has ovorytiilag to do with what wo may accomplish. If you go to your work with the attitude of a slavo who goes lashed to his task aud see in It only drudgery; If you work without hope, seeing no future in what you are doing beyond getting a baro living; li you seo no light ahead, nothing but poverty, deprivation and hard work oil your life; if you think that you were destined to such a hard Ufo, you cannot expect anything else than that which you look for. Ir*, ou tho other hand, no matter how poor you may bo today, , you can see a better future; if you bellevo that some day you are going to rise out of hum drum work, that you are going to get up out of the basement of Ufo into the drawing room, where beauty, comfort and joy await you; if your ambition is clean cut and you keep your eyo stead ily upon the goal which you hope to reach and feel confident that you have the ability to attain it, you will aec-om plish something worth while. Tho di rection of your effort wlU follow your eye. If that looks up as well os on, you will climb. That ono quality of holding persist ently tho faith in themselves and nev er allowing anything to weaken tho be lief that somehow they would accom plish what they undertook has been the underlying principle of all' great achievers. The great majority of men and women who have given civilization a great uplift started poor and for many dork years saw no hopo of ac complishing their ambition, but they kept on working and believing that somehow a woy would be opened. Think of what this attitude of hopeful ness and faith has done for tho world's great Inventors - how moat of them plodded on through many, years of dry, dreary drudgery before the light came, and the light would never have come but for their faith, hope and persistent endeavor. What If they had listened to their advisers! Even those who loved them tried to beg them to give up the fool ishness of coining their lives into that which would never be practical or use ful. We are enjoying today thousands ,of blessings, comforts and conveniences which have been bequeathed us by those resolute souls who were obliged often to turn a deaf ear to tho plead ings of those they loved best as they straggled on amid want and woo for many years.-Success". .' ?j CHRISTMAS.

The Dutch peasant live:? with oanalo all about him, and reaches his cottage by way of a drawbridge Per haps it is in the blood of tho Dutoh ohiid, says a writer in an exohango, not to fall into a oanal. At all ovonts the Dutch mother never appears to anticipate such a possibility:- - Ono oan imagine the average Eng lish or American mother trying to bring up a family in a house surround ed by canals. She nevei would have a minute's peaoe until the children wera in bed. But then, the more sight of a oanal to the English child suggests tho delights of a suddon and unexpected bath. An Englishman inquired of a Dutoh woman, "Does a Dutch child over, by any chauoe, fall into a oanal?" "Yes," sho replied, "cases have been known." "Don't you do anything for it?" continued the questioner. ; "Oh, yes," she answered. "We haul them out again." "But what I mean is," explained tho Englishman, "don't you do any thing to prevent their falling in? To save them from falling io again." "Yes," she answered, "wo spank them." Where Are We Goirg? The earth goes around the sun once a year. TLC p ?th which it follows is nota circle, bal an ellipse, longer ono way than another, such as a boy makes of bis hoop when he hoMa it upright, and, resting his woight upon it, bends it somewhat out of shape. The sun, being not ac the contor of thc ellipse, but in one of its two foci, tho earth is not always just 93,000,000 miles from the sun, but homotimoB more, sometimes less. At this time of year, despite the cold weather, the earth is 3,250,000 mileb nearer tho sun than it is July 1, dospito the hot weather. At the oloso of this year we may say that the earth is lust where it was at the oloso of lost year; it has again come around to the same spot. This does not seem like getting ahoad any. jfeut waitl Tho sun itself is rushing through spaoe at the rate of twelve miles a second, and tho earth always goes with it. Hence, though in rela t on to the sun, tho earth stands to day where it did a year ago, in rela tion to the stars all space it is as many miles removed as there are seconds in the year multiplied by twelve Where is it going?
