WHATS IN A NAME A decided frown was wrinkle.. S deep in the Girl's placid <row, also a decidedly rebellious gleam in the usually laughing eyes, and h the red lips did quiver as the form of the Boy swung rapidly down the street, ?with squared shou-ders and not even a backward glance, it was more from anger; than from sorrow. "I don't care if this is his first night home after a year?I did just right! Why should I explain to him? Ee ought to have more confidence In me than that. I dont' care It he did go away cross." Then, as ehe brushed away an angry little tear which persisted in rolling down her flushed, round cheek, she quick ly tore to shred3 an Innocent piece of paper. That very paper had caused it all. She had been so glad to see him after his long absence, and they had sucn a pleasant evening together, and when he slipped the beautiful ring on her willing finger?the ring that meant so much to them both?their cup of happiness was inceed full. Then?then came the tragedy! He had carelessly picked up this little piece of papr- and his eyes uncon s iousy rested on the words, "Yo r loving Will." At first heir signif icance did not strike him, but when it did his ruddy cheeks paled, and the old stubborn jealousy caused his question to rake on a masterful ag-' gressive tone: "Who is Will?" The Girl gianced up quickly, but when she met that doubting look all thoughts of an explanation .fled She, too, was wilfuh, and never in her gay, happy life had anyone used that tone to her before; so with heightened color she replied briefly: "A friend." For a moment these two, whose truly engagement was hardly an hour old, faced each other?neithe* willing to yield an inch, each will ing to undergo tortures rather than admit that they had met a master. "Frie-d?" A little jealous laugh emphasized the word. "So I imag ined?a very dear friend." At last, with a cool, curt good night," and a stiff touch of the ' cap, the boy had left her and she? well, anywa. , she did not care, and even if she did not close her eye? through that long night, and if her head did ache and ?hrob dreadfully the next morning, it was not on ac count of him! Wnen S o'clock soundeu the next evening the Boy founJ himself walk ing slowly down the street where the Girl lived, and he reached the hou^e just as; the dcor orened and her mother came out. The cordial smile she gave him and the fact that she held the doo* open for him to enter showed pi'in.} that she was unaware of the staie of affairs. For a aecond he hesitantd. and then unable to frame any excuse tor not going in. he said: "Is?is she at irme?" "Yes," was the answer. "Go light in. You'll find her in the music room." The music room! That was where she had consented to become ais wife the night before?in the cosy little music room?sue must be half expecting him. Witn a bound he started up the steps, but like i fla?h of cold water came the word3 trora her mother.: "Willie is with her?go right in." Willie! So that was all she cared about him?she bad taken an other fellow, Will, straight into ti.e place which she had ac ared would always be sacred to uer because? beca use His lips came together in a grim, white line: he would see.?Would have au understanding with ? this Will?so much at least, was clue him! He paused at the door of the room and wrapped. A wire?-h?*r , vWor?- nir*. "(' : ie in VY",;ii ? j Biiaiio^* i?.^i;ng iUp '.ing at n.b uea.L he pushed open the door. At first he hardly dated to look -it the hatei face of his rival. Then with a de fiant toss of the head he advanced quickly, but stopped short, a puz zied look on his face, as his warlike face rested on two girls! The Gin came quickly forward with a littlo suppressed cry of del.ght. and then after giving him her hand in welcome (you see, reall.\ she had been part ly to blame the night before?sne had come to that co.idasicn hours ago? gravely turned and said: "You have never met my dearest friend. Miss Zillah Wayns lave you? Will, this is Mr. Leighton." Will! That was the only word he caught distinctly and as he clasped Miss Wayne's hand in a de cidedly warm grip, he repeated it mechanically. "Yes," she replied laughingly; "isn't it a terrible n^rae for a girl? But it's much easier to y than Zil lah." His eyes sought the Girl's with such an expression of relief, pentl nence and understanding that her last bit 01 resentment tied, and "Will" was considerate enough to opportunely remember an import ant call she must make. s< she left them together, and th? ti a brj^iit glorious rainuow shown out iron those dubious clouds.

Menagerie is a game that can be played by any number o* persons, each of whom has a full pack of cards and l::...'A ifce liuua- ??! :':uy ie, or bird. Each player sbu?les bis pack .and then places it, face downward, on the table before him. The Grst player (who Is selected in any way the com pany choose) then takes his top card and places it, face upward, where all may see it Each in turn, toward the left, does the same, and on the second and succeeding rounds the card that each turns is placed on the first, form ing a second pile of cards for each player, this second pile fating upward. When any one turns over a card that is the same as any other on the table that he can see. he must call out the assumed name of its owner, and its owner must call out his assumed name. Whichever does so first must give the other all of his cards that are fnee upward. These must be turned over and placed at the bottom of the un used pile. He who first gets rid of all his cards wins, but the game may continue till one of the players Is left with all the cards on the table. Instead of names of animals, any others may be chosen that the com pany agree upon, and the harder and longer the more fun. What He Saw. They are working hard, thought the school master. But. can you believe it, when the schoolmaster went round the other side of the room this is what he saw: The Value of a Shower. Mauy boys are in the habit, no doubt, of sprinkling the grass in their yards with either the hose or a sprin kling pot in summer, and it is likely that they have noticed that one good shower of rain does the grass more good and makes it look fresher and brighter than a dozen sprinklings do. The editor wonders if they could tell why this is so. The reason is that as rain falls from a great height through the air it brings with it a good deal of curbonic acid, of nitrogenous particles and of other things that are nutritious to grass and plants, all of which it washes out of the atmosphere as it falls. The shower gives the grass food and health and strength as well as a wetting.?Chicago News. Letter Riddles. Why Is B like hot tire? Because it makes oil boil. Why is C like a schoolmistress?

Its size may i vim Cu<'SET noon. be governed by the space it is de sired to liii. but if a plain wall' is available for its hanging place it might be well to make it three feet long, with sides three feet three inches high. The shelves can be ten inches apart, and openings are made iu the sides between the shelves. At the buck are placed five upright orna mental strips to strengthen the shelves and add a decorative feature to the construction. These strips may be carved in any desired manner. The design shown in the accompanying il lustration Is a good one, simple and dignified and within the ability of an unskilled person. The ends of the shelves are narrowed to slip into slits made for them in the sides of the rack, where they are held in place by moans of w ooden' pins. This book rack is distinctly ornamental and will be found especially suitable in a bed room or den where there is no room for the more bulky shelves that rest on the floor or where few books are desired rather than a large library.
