AlUm* wum Indulging in the after dinner txiaca of the big broad vvrauda wb?u her next door n o is hbor. Hilly, came up the steps. Billy had been her comfort* er and oonfldant sluc<* their kinder- i Kartell days. ? "Oh, Hilly! We must have all the fun and rag time we can! It will be all shut off for two weeks!" "II o W did I know?" she ex claimed, equally myslllled. "How did you know? J'apa Just got word that gome business friend of his, a Mr. Heevoa ? I'hlllp Reeves ? 1b coming here to accept one of papa's repeated 1 n v 1 1 a t i oiih to visit. 1'apa hats been giving me all sorts of advice . and lessons irt de portment. He de scribes this stupid man an thirty-live, dignified, scholar ly, et cetra. That sounds well to papa, but It ie the description of a bore and a prig to me." * The next morning when who saw Hilly going to tho Btation with hit* mother, nho almost wept. "I didn't know 1 won ?o fond of Hilly!" ?ho wailed. Sbo hud no buoyant spirits to quench when the gueBt arrived. She wuh ho quiet and dejected during din ner thut Philip Reeves llnally aban doned his attempts to converBe with her. Three wretched days passed in which Allene managed to maintain a demeanor that satisfied her father's ideas of decorum, although she felt horribly unnatural. Then came the reaction. Her father received an ur K?'nt summons to a neighboring town on business. With his departure, Al lene's strained dignity vanished. "Where's Mr. Reeves?" she asked of the maid as she came into tho house from a drive. "He went to the factory," was the reply. Free and alone! She hadn't felt so unrestrained since her childhood days. She flew to the piano, and tho room rang with the maddest music in her repertoire. Then her voice burst forth in gay, little snatches of Bong that re vealed her exuberance of spirit. At last, when she paused for, breath, a voice behind her said: "Why haven't you played and sung like that before?" She wheeled about quickly on the piano bench. "How long have you been in here?" she asked faintly. "I came at the flrBt eound of the music. It Is just the kind 1 like. I am not educated up to classical music." "Oh, I leel bo much better. Really, 1 can't live up to papa's program any longer." "What do you mean?" he demanded. Then impetuously and Impulsively she told him tho deportment her fa ther had prescribed, and the heroic efforts sho had made to live up to it. A most delightful week of pleasure followed. Saddle horses, automobiles and mountain wagon were brought In to uso for various excursions and pic nics. Allene found in Philip a man as companionable as was Billy. Crossing the lawn one day when tl>e weather had suddenly turned too cold to permit of driving comfortably. Al lene Btepped on a Btorie, and stumbled. "It's those absurd French-heeled slippers!" exclaimed Philip indignant ly. "There ought to be a law against their manufacture!" Therefore when Allene came down stairs that evening, out of sheer per verBeness, she choso her very most extreme-heeled BlipperB. On the sixth stair from the bottom, she utrned her foot tripped, and land ed in a heap on the hall floor. When she opened her eyes, she was In Philip's arms as he Bat before the grate flre in the library. She was so very comfortable, she decided to close her eyes again and postpone her "com ing to." Then she felt him removing her slippers. "He thinks my ankle is broken or sprained!" she reflected, and was glad she had put on her silken hose. She half opened her eyes, and to her hor ror sow him calmly committing her Bllppers to the flames. She gave a little shriek of indlgna^ tie* and sat bolt upright. "How dare you! My beautiful sllp pers!" "Well, their destruction seems to have brought you to consciousness," he said coolly. "I was afraid you had fainted for keeps. Is your ankle h urt?" "Not a bit!" she replied, essaying to get on her feet, but he held her fast. "No, Alene! Let me tell you some thing. I When he had told her she assured ' htm she had loved him up to the time ho had burned her slippers. Now, U was all changed.

"Nevertheless j ?mi Indulged my low of msehanlcal Invention." write** John Mulr In his volume* "Story ot My Hoy hood and Youth." "1 Invented a desk In which the books I had to study were arranged In order at the beginning of each term. I also made a bed which set me on my feet every morning at the hour determined on. and In dark winter mornings just as the bed set me on the floor It lighted the lamp. Then, after the minutes al lowed for dressing had elapsed, a click wee heard, and the first book to be studied was pushed up from a rack below the top of the desk, thrown open, and allowed to r atnaln there the number of minutes required- Then the machinery closed the book and al lowed It to drop beck Into Its stall, then moved the rack forwerd and threw up the next In order, ?x>4 to on, all the day being divided aooonfctng to the times of recitation, and time re quired and allotted to each study. "Beefckee this, I thought it would be a fine thing In the summer time, wben the sun roae early, to dispense with the ckock-coatrolled bed machinery, and make use of sunbeams Instead This 1 did simply by taking a lens out of my small spy glass, firing it on a frame on the sill of my bedroom win dow, and pointing It to the sanrlee; the sunbeams tocussed on a thread, burned It through, allowing the bed machinery to pot me on my feet. "When 1 wished to arise at any given time after sunrise, I had only to turn the pivoted frame that held the lens the requisite number of de grees or minutes. Thus 1 took Elmer son's advice and hitched my dump ing wagon bed to a star." , POOR GIRAFFE LOVED TURTLE Animal's Suicide In Jardin des Plants* Explained to Satisfaction of Commissary. It 1b a sad, Had story and the de tails will never bo known? how the giraffe at the Jardln doe Plantes, the Parla zoo, committed aulclde. ThlB giraffe, who held the record In her cIuhh for height, was neuras thenic. The attendants noticed the other day that Bhe looked troubled. 8he stood In her front yard waving her long neck from side to side, her eyes in the clouds. Then she dashed her head against the side of her house, causing concussion of the brain. The commissary of polloo was noti fied of her death and he opened an inquest. What were the reasons for suicide? She was of high standing, four and a half meters. 8he was not involved In the troubles of married life, for the simple reason that she was not married. Perhaps, however, she was In love. Wben the commissary came to thts question he felt sure he was on the right track. From the keepers he learned in fact that the giraffe some time previously had fallen in love with a turtle, but the latter showed almost stony Indifference to her ad vances. She tried to make eyes at tho turtle, .but he seemingly paid no attention to her. The turtle seemed to think there was an inseparable dis tance between them. The inquest was ended and It only remained for the commissary to notify the family of the deceased. Progressive Saskatchewan. A traveler was asked by a fellow passenger who had just boarded the train at ? well, call It Booefcer-ville, Saskatchewan. "Well, what do jou think of Boostervllle?" The traveler gave his testimony, which was to the effect that be thought Boostervflte was a real live town, a cnte town, a town which meant to get there and which had a great future ahead of\lt, a town which had made remarkable progress during the short time It had been In existence. "When were yon theneT* Inquired the man from Boost ervlDe. " 'Bout three weeks back," the traveler replied.

Singularly enough, caat Iron, notw considered very strong, and thought by moat people to be tar leas durable than steel, Improves greatly In atrength when subjected to eoostant shook*. This was pmored by gnns o t Tttrkma ages and servioa. Oons tried a month after casting busat at the seventieth or eightieth discharge. Other guns, which had been in aae for six years, failed to burst after 2,000 or 3,000 discharges, and cast Iron bars, after being subjected to shocks, frequently gain 100 per ?jnt_ In strength. But, in all casea, the cast Iron which proved strongest was cast Iron which hsd had "a holiday" In be tween the hard work. Remarkable " Double*.
