HIGH HEELED SLIPPER
By BELLK MANIATE8.
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.

JOHN MUIR'S STUDY MACHINE
N?lwr?ll?t Tells ?f Wonderful Inven
tion for Which Hs Has Not Yet
Tekfn Out a Patent.
"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

the traveler replied. "Qee!" cried the

Peculiarity of CMt Iron.
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*.
The double has long been a favorite
character of miction and drama; "The
Lyons Mall" Immediately comes to
mind. One encountera him constantly
?on the Btage, in rflystiflcatlons of the
kind of which "The Great I^afayette"
was a master. So closo, indeed, was
the resemblance between him and his
professional double thht after Ms
| death In a hotel Are In Glasgow It was
( tor some time a matter of uncertainty
I whether it was his body or that of the
i other man which was found in the
i Tulns. The matter is a curious one.
' It might be worth Investigating more
