Whims

i* - ? I
It was afternoon on oud of the last
lew hot days of summer. Through tho
open windows caDio glimpses of green
wood bespeaking a delicious coolness
and the ripple of brooks, but In tho
Bohoolroom the air was undeniably
close. The scratch of a pencil, the
shuffling of Impatient little feet, the
drone of n l?y.y bee, all seemed to In
tensify the Impression of heat, and the
young schoolmaster stln*e<l restlessly.
It had meant a great deal to I'eter
Raymond, securing tho village school
at Wlmberly, but he hod not found his
task an easy one. Ills eyes, wandering
over the rows of bent heads before him,
eneonutered the glanee of a girl sealed
near the door. The girl, one of the old
er scholars, with a toss of her curls,
returned to her book, and the trouble
In the schoolmaster's face deepened.
?Here was the crux of tho sltuntlon. If
he eould win Miranda Hemming to his
side the remainder of the pupils would
follow easily euough. But It was Mi
randa herself, with her great blue oyes,
fctehlug dimples and cotpieltlsh ways,
v.'ho openly led tho revolt against him.
The teacher sighed again. Perhaps he
?was too youug.
' From the very begluulng of his work,
however. Raymond had recognized the
primitive lnstlnet of hostility to the un
kuown In the questioning eyes uplifted
to his own. Now, after five weeks, ho
seem"d no nearer tho solution of his
problem; Indeed, matters under Miran
da's spirited guidance were becoming
even worse, despite his pointed Ignor
ing of her mutiny. He touehod the bell.
"First class In grammar," he said.
Miranda, with several other girls, rang
ing from sixteen to eighteen, came
slowly forward. It was rather a try
ing recitation. Most of the girls stum
bled. Miranda failed utterly, nor did
she care. To hll his questions she an
swered with provoking nonchalance,
evidently Indifferent as to whether he
were pleased or not. Her rebelllou had
never before been quite so openly man
ifest. A sudden line of resolution
tightened the young man's mouth.
"Von may return to your seats," be
said. "Miss Miranda, I shall expect
you to remain after school until that
lesson Is recited perfectly."
"What!" cried the girl. Involunta
rily she fell back a step, hardly believ
ing her own enrs. That any one should
dare address her, Miranda Hemming.
In such fashion: Raymond's expression
did not ?hange.
"You heard what I said," he returned
.quietly. "It should not take long."
For a moment Miranda, stupefied,
hesitated, then she flounced indignant
)y back to her star, me whole school,
which had dropped all work to lteteu
to the passage at arms between Mi
randa and the teacher, fairly shivered,
and Tom Carruthers, a big, loutish
chap of nineteen, shot a sullen look at
Raymond. To scold Miranda I To the
quivering excitement of the school, the
time until 4 o'clock appeared fairly to
dy. Would teacher really keep In Mi
randa ?
When the others arose, Miranda also
sprang to her feet. Then something In
the teacher's expression caused her to
sink back in her seat, tingling and
abashed. It took an unusually long
time for the pupils to disperse that
day, but at last they were all gono.
"You need not think that I shall
study that lesson," shs declared with
sharp emphasis. Raymond uoddsd.
"As you please," he answered. "Only
here we both stay until you do."
"And I'm not to have any supper?"
incredulously.
"Not until you learn that lesson."
"But"? burst out Miranda furious
ly. Then she closed her Hps with a
snap and leaned back, her hands tem
postuously folded before her. Ray
mond picked up a book.
'Tako your own time," he sold pleas
antly.
But somehow the book did not prove
very enthralling. Between his eyes and
the printed pagos persisted thu vision
of a willful little face set In its tangle
of wavy hair. Yet ?e must not be
beaten now. Ills whole future hung
on this issgt>\ ho thought. Tho shad
ows lengthened, the sun dropped be
hind tho hills. Miranda, who for some
time had been stealing furtive glances
at the quiet figure behind the big desk
smiled prettily.
"I'm?I'm hungry," she .whoedled.
For an Instant Raymoud wavered.
This new swoetness was strange and
alluring. But before he could speak
the door was flung open and Tom Car
ruthers appeared on the threshold.
"Ren't ye comln* home to supper,
Ml randy?" he demanded. "Yer ma sent
mo fer ye," darting ? suspicious look
at her Jailer. "Ain't ye comln' ? I'll
look out fer ye."
"Why," began Miranda feebly. Ray
mond, a sudden, unaccountable resent
ment nurging luto bis heart, frowned.
"Miss Miranda Is In no need of a
champion," he declared stiffly. "Sho
can leave when she chooses. You may
go." And Tom, after au Instant's
BCOwilng hesitation, went out, banging
i the door. Miranda bit her Up.
"I will never learn that lesson," she
repeated stubbornly.
There was another long silence while
the shadows darkened. At last the
young man rose and lit the lamp.
"It Is nearly 0 o'clock," h#> said brief
ly. Miranda, now close upon tears, I
looked hack still defiant.
"And If I say It you'll let me go?"
"Certainly."
With rapid, choked utteranees she
Hung the text at him,?not pausing for
question or comment. And then?
"I?I hate you," Bho/crtod vehement
ly; "hate you, hate yon: And I'll uev
er, inner com? Into" (bin horrlil evho?l
r > on again!" The bricht drops shone
in her eyes like dew on forgetmonots,
her cheeks were Hushed *o u wild rose
pink; the girl was shaken, puiftlod,
hurt. 'I lie vlllSgO boys she had tOUCOd
and ruled at Will. For the llrst time
she had round a man Impervious alike
ij her anger or smile -.. From the day
that I.e. a stranger, had met her eyes
In calm uuconceru she had uneou
Kclously resented the faet. Now the re
pressed wralll of weeks found vent.
"1 hate you." she reiterated stormlly.
The next moment she had Hashed
Ihvough the door ami won gone. Ray
mond, oddly depressed In spite of his
victory, followed slowly.
The world was Hooded with the tran
quil glory of the moonlight as he went
out. A narrow path I od to the road
Where a row of maples lifted their
leafy branches to the starry skies, and
Raymond, fancying that he caught the
gleam of a white dress there under the
trees, tVU his heartbeats quicken.
?Somehow he had been looking forward
to walking home with the girl. Then
as he turned from locking the door a
dark figure rushed by the corner of tho
sch i )lb ?u 0, there was a woman's shrill
scream, something heavy struck his
forehead, and Raymond fell.
It mutt have been nearly an hour
later when Raymond and Miranda
slopped at the gale of the girl's home.
Hearing footsteps, Mffl, Hemming
came out to meet them.
"Well," she said. "S?> I hear you've
been having trouble 'With Mlrandy.
Tom was here In quite a state and
wanted me to interfere. Hut I Judged
you knew how to run your own game,"
comfortably. "Did yo meet him?" Ray
mond, feeling the bump left by the
stone on his forehead, laughed.
"Yes, we met him," he said whim
sically. "And he left us In no doubt as
to his optukm of me. Indeed, I might
say that In' left a decided Impression.
If It had not been that Miranda, sus
pecting there might be trouble, wait
ed-- Hut. after all. I do not know that
I blame him much," he went on. "He
could not appreciate that I was acting
In Miranda's best Interests," with mis
chievous emphasis. Miranda, very shy
and conscious, (lushed. Mrs. Hemming
lifted her hands.
"What ever am 1 going to do with
that girl?" she ejaculated. "Really,
she's growing fairly unmanageable, if
she only had a father!" Tho young
man became suddenly quite grave.
"Will you Intrust the tnsk to me,
Mrs. Hemming?" he asked. "I think I
understand her better now."
"Trust you," cried Mrs. Hemming.
"Why. ye're nothing but a boy your
self, llow could you be a father to
her?" regarding him In perplexed as
tonishment. Raymond bent and pos
sessed himself of the girl's slender
hand.
"No. I suspect that I conldn't be a
father to her," he agreed, "but she has
Just promised to marry me."
Me/..-.of:ml l'? Memory.
Cardinal Mo/.xofantl had a memory
little short of miraculous. Dr. Russell,
his biographer, says that the cardinal
spoke with the greatest ease thirty lan
guages, that be spoke fairly well nine,
that he used occasionally, but not with
fluency, eleven more; thnt he spoke Im
perfectly eight and that he could read
eleven more. Taking, In addition, tho
number of dialects he used, some so di
verse from the mother tongue ntt to
constitute a different language, Dr.
ItUSSOll says that the cardinal wus
master of no leas than ill different
languages and dialects. Ills Qermau
wan so excellent that he was taken for
a native of Germany, ?while his French
and English were equally pure. Dr.
Tholuck heard him converse In Ger
man, Arable, Spanish, Flemish, Kng
llsh, Latin, (ireck, Swedish and Por
tuguese at one of the pope's receptions,
and afterward Mezr.ofuntt gave hliu an
original poem In Persian and left him
to take a lesson In Cornish. He knew
several of the American Indian lan
guages and nearly all tho dialects of
India.
Why l'rlnon Doorkcciior.t Are Surly.
"\\ by are the doorkeepers of prisons
always surly? I guess It Is because
they have to answer so many foolish
questions," said a prison doorkeeper.
"Only IhlH morning a ring comes at
the bell. I halt In tho middle of my
breakfast. I tramp down the long cor
ridor. I unlock my fifty ton door with
my twenty pound key. Outside stands
a tough young man, his hat on (he side
of his head, who says:
'"Boss, wheu'll Joe Mace get out?
Mo and another feller's got a bet on It.'
"People come here and ask mo when
fhls prisoner's trial and Uiat prisoner's
trial take place. They come hero with
out permits and demand to see a pris
oner with tho same air as you'd go to a
friend's house and demand to seo your
friend. They bring presents to prison
ers?boxes of cigars, bottles of rum,
Scarf pins and poker dice. It Is the con
stant rebuffing of all these foolish per
sons that makes the doorkeeper of a
prison surly."?Philadelphia Bulletin.

In a book on his adventures In Tibet
Colonel T,. A. Waddell writes: "One
curious result of the cold should be
mentioned here?namely, Its effect upon
the speech of the people. A peculiar
ity of the language Of tho Tibetans, In
common with the Russians and most
arctic nations, is the remarkably few
vowels In their words and the extraor
dinarily large number of consonants.
For example, tho Tibetan name for
Slkhhn Is Hbrasljongs. indeed, so full
of consonants are Tibetan words that
most of them could l>o articulated with
almost Komlcloscd mouth, evidently
from the enforced necessity to keep the
lips closed as far as possible ngntn*t
the cutting cold when speaking."

Tbo ?unsot Magazine teil? a story of
the rehabilitation of the character of
Johnson Sides, a noted Indian tern
pcrance orator of bygone days: One
day he was caught In the net of drink
ing a glass of whisky and was lined.
Neither Indians nor whites would llsteu
(hen to his temperance speeches. Poor
Johnson was In despair. One day,
however, he had an Inspiration. He
asked Senator Doolln. of tho Nevada
legislature lo absolve his sin by act of
legislature. Senator Doolln was agree
able, and Introduced and carried
through "Senate Joint Concurrent Res
olution No. 11," which Is ns followst
"Resolved, By the senate, the people
of the state of Nevada concurring, that

Sides on the 17th day of September lu

What it Dlplmmtt Im.
The London l'all .Mall Gazette dis
cusses the word "diplomatist," Inter
preting It as "one with a double duty
and a double responsibility" -to his
own country and tho country that re
ceives him. The evolution of "diplo
matist" from the Greek verb for "to
double" Is very curious. "Diploma," a
doubling, was specialized as a folded
paper and particularly In Roman times
an ofllcial passport or license. Thus
"diplomatic science" down to the end
Of the eighteenth century meant the
science of manuscripts and documents,
, which explains a modern writer's
strange remark that "there In not a
shadow of diplomatic doubt thrown
over the Integrity of the third g ispel."
Dr. Murray's Dictionary assigns the
translation to thi* modern meaning to
Leibnlt/.'s "Codex Juris Gentium Dip
lomntleus" (documentary code of inter
national law) and tho title of a similar
French work. "Diplomatie" came lo
be considered as meaning "Interna
tional documentary." and then the
"documentary" dropped out.

"Circuses," said the old ring master,
"have developed, evolved and changed.
From the one ring of the past they
have grown to three rings, phis an ele
vated stage, and there are many other
Improvements, Rut In one particular
there has been no change since time
began, and that Is In the dimensions of
the ring. A circus ring Is always the
same si/.o - forty t wo feet nine Inches In
diameter. Co where you will, you will
never lind a circus ring with different
dimension i from that.
A bareback rider can ride best in a
ring of till- size. All riders train in
such i ring and all horses are trained
In such a ring. There would be trouble
for horses ami men if the size of the
ring should bo changed. It would bo
like changing the size of tin' baseball
diamond, only worse." ? Minneapolis
Journal.
Stevenson'? Storle?.
Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson bus told
of the circumstances under which cer
tain of her husband's books were writ
ten. Stevenson and IiIh wife woro
looking over some records of trials In
the OKI Bailey court during 1700.
Among the papers was one describing
tho trial of .Tames Stewart for the mur
dor of a man which Stevenson "read
with avidity." He used much of tho
story In this old court record for "Kid
naped," besides taking out the charac
ter of Alan Brook. "David Ralfour,"
the sequel to "Kidnaped," was writ
ten In Samoa amid very "distracting
circumstances." Mrs. StoMnsoil says,
"With tho natives on the verge of wnr
and amid tho most kaleidoscopic po
litical changes, uncertain as to what
moment his personal liberty might be
restrained, his every action miscon
strued and resented by the white In
habitants of the lHlaud, the excitement
and fatigue of my husbnnd'h dally lifo
might have seemed enough for any one
man to endure without tho additional
strain of literary work."

Cab stealing Is by no means an un
common thing In London. A cnbman
who has had any experience In the
great metropolis would not take the
risk of leaving his vohtclo even for a
few inlnutos unless ho placed a relia
ble man In control, but the unwary
are frequently robbed of horse and ve

some distance from whore he stole tho
property and takes advantage of some
secluded spot or quiet street to alter
the number of the vehicle, so as to es
cape Immediate detection. This done,

ho once dealt very effectively with a
persistent autograph hunter. A gur!i

you have doubtless preserved several au
tographs of our country's lato lamented
poet, Edgar Allan Poe. If bo, and you

To which Greeley replied:

Major Miles Malony of Bnllyduff was
amazed one morning to see from Ills

eow back aud forward again and again
over a ditch and through a fenco ou his

he rushed out to question the little tres
passer. "What are yo after with that
COW? Is It to kill tho beast ye want?"
"Kill her! Shu re, It's to keop her alive

If a man will not work he shall not eat
