Her Guardi?n By FRANK EL SWEET CopurtgliU I205,by McClure, Phillipa & Co. '.Then you think you havo everything .you will need, may need?" "Every tiling? Oh, Mr. Barclay I" The girl's eyes wore misty with tears. "What makes you so thoughtful of toe? At school there was no other girl who liad audi beautiful and,dainty things. And it was not money, for many of Hiern were wealthy. They said I had euch exquisito taste, and lt -wes not I .nt nil, but you who procured them and who InflUeuced mo into the way of -wanting euch things, and it used to be the same before I went to school and bas been so since I graduated and carne lionie. You aro always influenc ing me toward what ia most beautiful Ju life and then bestowing lt on me, so lavishly." Mr, Barclay's hand moved uneasily among the papers. "I. promised your father"- he began, when she interrupted him with an im perious motion of lier hand. "Yes, yep, I know, but most guard ians woul? havo been satisfied with .keeping a general oversight and paying -the bills. You have been my most in timate friend from the Hmo my father died, when Twas only'twelve, Why," laughing, anid her voice quavering a lit tle, "I have told you my secrets and love affairs as few of the girls I know -tell their own mothers. It has seemed perfectly natural. You were Interested In them, or appeared to be, and never requested me to keep away-from the "boys. Indeed* I think you always fa vored my going with them, only you were careful ' tn inquire about their tabita.". She was in a remiuI .;cent mood, and. though her eyes' were still moist end ?tender? her lips were boll parted in ..?amused recollection, "What a lot of boys I must have told jrou about; Mr. Barclay," she went on, ?"all. those of my early school days, nhen tho ones I met nt college and pow 'the young men who have been calling .en me during my six months here. You "know about the ones I like best and those I just tolerate." . "I am afraid you.

"So Into? Well, "I trill go and get ready." At the door she paused, looking back. "You must excuse my talk about your liberality, Mr. Barclay," oho said wi-*, fully. "But-but I could not go away Without saying something." Halfway up the stairs sho paused again. She had forgotten the letters of introduction, and it would be more con venient to put them In her bag before starting. When she re-entered the library Mr. Barclay's face v/us1 burled in bis arms upon the desk. Ho was tired, she thought, and perhaps grieving a little ai her golngtaway. It was not until she reached the desk and was about to pick up the letters that he noticed her presence und raised his head with a quick, surprised mo tion. His eyes were frank, uaguarded, his Ups trembling. She gazed at him a moment; then her womanly instinct in a flash compre hended. "Oh, Mr. 'Barclny-Kobcrt- do you" But ho had controlled himself by a great effort. "Forget thl3, Elinor, forever," he in terrupted horshiy. "I was weak for a moment. I thought ? was aluue, ami you misunderstood." But ber face was radiant. "i b?fre been misunderstanding you tjr months, Kobcrt." ehe said softly, "but not now. It was all in your eyes. Have you never thought why I was un nble to find my Ideal? I didn't know my own heart thou, but I always com pared the boys and the young men with you,,and they fell shorty. I know now that I have loved you for years, since I first went to college, but I have not fully realized lt until within the past few months, and, Robert, I have been so-so unhappy at your-thoughtfulness of me." "It was the only thing I could do," he groaned. "I was afraid of myself, and-and I nm so old, Elinor." "Only fifteen, years older than I am," ehe eald happily. "I shall unpack my trunks." , ? Once more he tried to command him self, to summon the mask to his face, but he was too weak. He held out bia arms. . Cmobed tn? - LaVs yo r. - Some years ago in Alabama one of tho most talented lawyers practicing In the south was the late Colonel Bragg, but he had a peppery temper. . - Not only did Colonel Bragg's disposi tion involve him from time to time In serious differences with hld colleagues, but if diso led bim to break off amica ble relations with a Judge Robinson, a most estimable jurist, who while pre siding over a suit in which Bragg was interested "had by his decision Incurred the resentment-of the advocate. So for a long time tho colonel declined even to speak to the judge save when lt was absolutely necessary In the cours? of business; Finally, however) his better nature getting the Upper hand, Colonel Bragg determined to apologize to Judge Rob inson and endeavor to effect a renewal of their.former ^comparatively pleasant relations.. Meeting the judge one aft ernoon on the steps of the statehouse, he impulsively thrust out his hand and said: .VSee here, judge; let's be friends again. . This thing has gone on long enough:" . "Why-er-Bragg," asked tho judge In the meekest and mildest way imag inable, "whafs the matter?" "Simply tills, Judge," continued , the fiery Bragg-- "I^ admhre you sb lm> m on a f>lx7 fhn?

I The bagpipe of Scotland is the only instrument of which'it may be said that it is distinctly national. The violin, the flute, tho horn and other instruments arc common to many nations, but thc bagpipe is pe culiar to Scotland, and, although it does not now occupy thc position it once did, it is found in no other country.- . - in tho days when the notorious Hob Hoy committed bis depreda tions, when thc Vicli Ian Vohrs lived j securely in thqir highland fast- ! ness and kept up their dignified GO- ! cial position-in tho stirring times of which Sir Walter Scott bas told ? us-tho bagpipe player was one of the important personages in the chieftain's retinue, anti these may be considered as the palmy days of thu ' instrument. j Within tho region more strictly j known as the highlands ita shri? ? note Avas the first sound that fell cn the ears of infancy. It charmed thc rude Caledonians in times .of jv;; and comforted them in scenes o? mourning. It animated their bc- j roes in battle and welcomed them back from their conflicts, and wbor- j ever their chiefs went it accompa nied them, even to the grave. ' The effect of this wild instrument on the highland soldiers is marvel ous.. Above the rattle of musketry and tho turmoil and roar of tho bat tlefield the inspiring notes of tho pibroch have spoken encouragement to the highlanders and led them bravely forward. At the battle of Quebec, when tho troops were re treating in disorder and the conflict had a most discouraging aspect, tho general complaint was about the de moralization in Frazer's corps. "Sir," said an officer, '^you did very wrong in forbidding the pipers 1 to ploy. Nothing inspirits the high landers so much. Even "now they would he of some use." "Let them blow, then," said the general. So the pipers started a weil known air, and the highlanders rallied and bravely returned to the charge. Some say that the bagpipe came down from the Homans; others, that it came'through the northern na tions of Scotiand. At any rate, it seems to have always been one of tho musical instruments of the Celtic race. The pipe mentioned, in ancient history wei simpJy what is known as the shepherd's reed. After a time a bag was added and nubsequently the drones or burdens. There are four forms ol the modern bagpipe-tho ? great highland bagpipe, whioh is blown by the player, the drones be ing placed over the shoulder; the lowland bagpipe, which is provided with a bellows . for supplying the wind; the Northumberland bagpipe, which is smaller and. sweeter in tone than the former two, and the Irish, bagpipe, which is a much more com plicated instrument.-St. James* Ga zette. - ?

Jalapa means n "pluo of water and sands." It was an Indian town at the time of tho conquest, and be cause of its position on what for a long while was thu main road be tween Yera Cruz and the Cily of Mexico it early became a place of importance.. After thc establish ment of tho republic it was mado | tho capital of tho state of Vera Cruz. Between tho years 1720 and 1777 a great animal fair was hold here for thc sale of goods brought for years by tho fleet from Cadiz, whence it derived the name of Ja lapa do la Ferio, frequent ly applied to the city in documents of tho eighteenth century. The city is famous throughout Mexico for tho exceeding beauty of its women and of its situation. From these, its pleading characteristics, arise the paying that Jalapa is a part of heaven let down to earth, and the proverb, "Las Jalapcnns son halagucnns" (bewitching, alluring ure ihe women of Jalapa). A less pleasing characteristic, its frequent dava of mist and rain, at once the cause of and a very serious draw back upon the enjoyment of its groL'ii loveliness, has given rise to yet another saying in Jalapa. During the: o melancholy days the Jalapeno, , mul?iod in his serape and smoking, dismally mutters, "Ave Maria puri ? sima, pue venga el sol!" (Holy Vir gin, lot the sun shine !) The city is a curious, old fashion ed place-curious even in Mexico, where everything seems odd to the i tourist - with narrow, ' crooked streets, lined with tile roofed ? houses, whoso pitched roofs project their eaves so far that they seem to j cover the sidewalks like a shed, and pending from th?so are spouts to carry the rainfall from tho roof to the center of tho roadway. Tho city ! has a perfect drainage system, based upon and indeed consisting almost entirely of tho facilities BO lavishly j bestowed by nature in the shape of rain and grade. Tho streets slope gently from the sidewalk on either 1 side to tho center of tho roadway, j thus practically forming high I troughs or gutters, and all dirt or refuse matter is immediately washed beyond the city limits by the raine, I which fall, at least for a short time, j almost daily throughout the entire ! year. This accounts for tho 8crupu? iously clean appearaT.-e of tho city, which impresses those who havo vis : ited other Mexican cities not so ad I vantageouflly located in respect to I drainage os Jalapa. So abrupt is the descent of tho streets down the side of tho hill that no attempt is made to use carts or carriages for -transportation of goods dr persons, j A tramway which provides a means of transportation to Coatepoo runs I (through a portion of tho main thor oughfare and is the only wheeled ve I hiele to be found within tlw city lim j its, and even this requires six mules ' to haul it up the steep grades from I the railroad station to ino hotels. All merchandise is carried from ono part of tho city to another by carga dores and pack mules, which latter are utilized extensively and almost to the exclusion of the burro and the horse. ; . ? walk through the streets pf the city is repaid by many interesting ! eights, ' The lavanderas,, or washer ! women, pursue their vocation in the publie streets at large basins or troughs, which haye been placed in all parts of the city for their accom modation. The churches are open .all through the day, and at all.hours I worshipers may bo f?und.-^-"Mod . ern Mexiqo." . ' ? j . . T"' ' 1 Why* tho Bread Came Back.

Then he hap pened to tum one of the loaves over ahd found on tho underside of every loaf the -inscription: "Here lies the Ik&j ol Mrs. -% Born A. D, 1682; died A.

The Chinese merchants declare they will not handle American imports until tho American congress makes satisfactory changes In the laws governing exclusion of Chi nese from.the United States. Although congress has been in session since early In December, no auch legislation is yet ls prospect. The Chinese minister at Washington recently telegraphed bia government that lt/was extremely Im probable legislation such aa the Chi nese desire would be enacted. Tho methods of the boycottera axe unique and characteristic of the orient The Chinese who are engaged in keep lag American goods out of their coun try do not hesitate to threaten with death those who refuse to obey Instruc tions.
