Hazel Defrey was seated in a quiet,
secluded nook on the border of a tiny
lake. She was thinking. "Oh!" she
said, half to herself and half aloud, "if
I was only like other girls. If I wasn't A
so old-fashioned. But what's the use
of wishing. Mother has brought ine
up this way and I wouldn't change?
no not for the world. Mother is a
dear, and she has been such a pal to
me."
Notwithstanding what she had said, g
there was a very faraway look in Ha- n
zel's eyes as she watched the blight- il
colored canoes glide gracefully across j
the lake, which could have been trans- q
iated into this: "No, I'm not satisfied v
with this life, for I like to have a good f
time once in a while like the other
girls."
Ever since Hazel could remember,
she had been carefully protected by a c
oving mother who had been very strict tl
with her?but any littlfe fairy could tl
have told you that it had not spoiled u
her in the least. b
She was very sweet to look upon? ^
even if her dresses were not made according
to the fashion plates in the
latest magazines?even 11 ner nair was
dressed so very, very plainly. She s
had heavenly blue eyes and a very P
delicate profile. s
This was the first time that she had a
really been dissatisfied with her lot. t
"Why, Just think," she mused, "there j]
is Ethel Thorne.
"She always has plenty of attention j
from young men?they take her to
every entertainment and dance; and, 1
me?why, I was never even asked to
go anywhere by a man?no, not once s
In all my nineteen years?perhaps they n
know that mother wouldn't let me, u
anyway." Then to console herself she I
said: "Well, I wouldn't want to go
with the class of inen that she does,
anyhow." Sl
\ She had been so busy turning over t]
the question in her mind?looking at ^
it from every point of view?that she j,
had not noticed the passage of time.
The sun had set, and the evening shadows
were gathering fast. She Jumped
to her feet bewildered. "Oh!" she said
aloud, "what would mother ever say (j
If she knew I had to walk home alone a
at this time of evening? If I only had
a canoe. It's so much nearer to the
cottage that way." As if In answer to 1
her wish a canoe glided up to the bank, 1
and a very nice looking yonng man
aalrt nolltelv "Pardon me. miSS. but
didn't I Just overhear you say that you
would like to go across the lake in a
canoe? I'd be delighted to take you
over." Hazel was very confused, but
managed to stammer: "Oh! If you-u
only would I c-could n-n-ever thank
y-you enough." It seemed to the girl
seated in the bottom of the canoe bolstered
by numberless pillows, to be the
most wonderful trip she had ever
taken. She glanced up at her silent
companion quite often. E
She could not help admiring his wonderful
physique and open, manly face.
He was so different from the young
men she had known.
The ride was over all too soon. As
he helped her to alight he said: "I
forgot to introduce myself before. ?
Somehow I didn't think it necessary. &
I am Bruce Benton, and I am stopping ki
for the summer at the 'Owalssa' cot- p
tage. I hope you do not consider me tl
bold to take the liberty of seeing you ?
home. May I have permission to call
some evening?" T
Hazel told him (all the while blushinor
thnt hnri pninvpit the '
ride immensely and would be delight- v<
ed to have him call. ol
Her mother, on meeting Mr. Benton 3
next day, was satisfied that he was a 'k
fit companion for Hazel?just the kind ?(
of young man she should have liked ^
to have for a son.
The canoe ride that evening was followed
by many, many more, and be- !
fore the summer was over Hazel wore 1:
a beautiful ring on the third finger of 1
her left hand. ft
"Do you know, dear," said Mr. Ben- u
ton one day as they flew swiftly aloug D
the blue, rippling water, "why I cared v
for you from the very first? It was ,(
because you were so different?because
you were Just a bit old-fashioned."
And Hazel, the happiest girl 4
la the whole world, was Rlad that her "
mother had brought her up as she ;I
had. 3

First Recorded Eclipse. 31
The earliest eclipse certainly Idea- i]
titled by means of contemporary ree- c
ords Is believed to be that which occnrred
at Babylon 1.070 years before 0
the Christian era. The next notable ^
one was recorded at Nineveh on As- .
Syrian tablets 763 years B. C. Modern
computations show that the path *
of the shadow on that occasion ran
at least 100 miles north of the city g
of Nineveh. Then comes the most h
celebrated of all, the ''Eclipse of
Thales," so-called because that fatuous
Greek philosopher predicted Its ""
occurrence, and when It did occur, on
the 28th of May, 585 B. C., it put an
end to a great battle that was being
fought by the Medes and the Lydlans,
and permanently terminated the war
between them.
She Is Suspicious,
"Isn't that clerk of yours an Indian?"
asked the girl.
"He is," replied tlif druggist.
"I am reluctant about having him
wait on me."
"Oh. he's not savage."
