"Then you'd rather be Elise Shcrwin.
student of art, and sit here on a
bench with a poor young lawyer than
be Mrs. Lofty, would you?" lie asked,
watching a lock of hair which the
spring wind blew softly across her
check.
"I certainly would," she replied with
promptness. "She never lias any time
for enjoyment or cultivation or reading
or?or anything that counts," she ended
vaguely. "You see, she has responsibilities.
There are the servants. Of
course I don't need to tell you about
the awfulness of the servants. Then
there is her house, one of those fearful
places that just grip you by the throat
when you enter and throttle you."
She paused for breath, with a reminiscent
expression. Then she continued:
"You feel as if sonic one has just died
?or perhaps 'demised' would be more
in accord with the furnishing."
"Uut one doesn't need to do sueli
things with money," her companion interrupted
with argumentative intention.
"No, I don't suppose one does. And
yet they generally do. You see, noblesse
oblige seems to demand that
when you have a million or upward

Europe aud live your poor little republican
life in it, though I'm sure I don't
know why," she finished thoughtfully.
"Still, money is a good thing, and you
can't say that it isn't. A fellow must
have decent clothes, aud it strikes me
that that simple little tailor made

"Only $75," she corrected and returned
to her subject somewhat hurriedly.
"There's another thin?. When you're

a fearful responsibility that is. It's
worse than servants! You have to em

cut him short.
"Have I ever told you about mine?"

as you see, on what we might call tin
Street of Love of Money.
"I hope you see the house plainly
The style is a sort of modified Italian
with n projecting cornice and an inne
court."
Hazard nodded.
"Don't you think the boxes of hya
cinths in the windows and the big, lov
entrance give it a friendly look? Tha
is what I aim at particularly," she ex
plained with well feigned anxiety, "i
friendly looking house!"
"Great!" was Hazard's feeling com
ment. "But who in thunder is tha
man standing at the window?" ant
he strained hJ? eyes toward the grea
hotel. Then he turned to her with ai
expression of pleased and innocent sui
prise. "By Jove, it's me!"
"It looked so homely and inviting,
suppose, that I couldn't resist it," h
explained as he noticed the warm flusl
rising in her cheeks.
In a moment she had recovered her
self.
"Since you aro in I hope you fikc th

have stopped to think what Mrs. Loftj
would have done under similar clr
cumstances?"
"Not a bit," he assured her heartily
while the peculiar compression of th<
lips of an old gentleman sitting ncx
them indicated suppressed amusement
"Well, come on, then! Now, thii
room, which has everything heautlfu
and useful and comfortable that 1
could find to put Into it, Is for mj
heartsick and discouraged friends
Some of them I shall not have met be
fore. But in some way, I don't kno*
turn, tbejr will find their way to tbli
ft little door (it op .is quietly on Fifty[
eighth street, you see), and I shall
t cheer them up."
"Leave cure behind, oil those wlio enf
ter here," he murmured, ns if he were
[ tending an Inscription.
[ j Tlte girl laughed in a pleased way.
"Excellent! A public sympathizer is
[ i really what we need. I believe as
| many people fall from lack of sym[
patliy and encouragement as from lack
^ of ability."
, She had grown suddenly earnest, aud
her eyes tilled with tears. Hazard
5 leaned toward her in real distress.
s i "So silly of me," she began, wtth h
j little shake in her voice. "Hut-there
. have been some rough places?places
where Mrs. Lofty, for instance, has
% looked on from her luxurious life and
said: 'I hoj>e you'll get on all right.
? Good by. dear" and left me with lone;
line8.s and discouragement eating my
. ' heart, and I have felt that in my House ;
> of the Loving Heart I should like to i
, have It different." . i
The old man in the next seat shifted ,
himself around so as to get a better ,
view of the girl's face, but neither of j
the young people noticed him, and she
began her description once more.
; "These bedrooms are the best ?1Y the i
, house. I intend tliein ror my poor j
friends. Still, 1 h^-Ve indulged in small
eeonoipUts.- ~\ow. for instance, in these j
i .rOGins"?and with a wave of the hand
she ushered him into another imaging- j
i ry sun?"iue appointments, inougn very ,
, comfortable, are less luxurious. In
, these I shall install my rich friends !
; when they visit me."
! An unmistakable chuckle escaped
from the old gentleman, and Hazard
and Miss Slierwin turned in his direction
in surprise. But he was bowing
to the occupant of a belated carriage,
all unconscious apparently of their existence.
1 "I shall entertain a good deal for my
i poor friends?give them a chance to
meet interesting people and get out of
the ruts of their workaday lives," Miss
Slierwin resumed. "But the rich ones"
?her eyes were dnncing mischievously
, ?"I shall ask only on ordinary occasions
when I am having simple, wholesome
dinners that won't make them
discontented with their lot."
They looked at each other and broke
into long and merry laughter. Has- ;
ard's worldliness had vanished like a
cloud. I
! "It's a great Idea, sweetheart," he
said softly, "and I'd like to work to
make it come true. Would you let me
j ?do you think"?
But the blushes were so violent this
! time that he got no further, and besides
the old gentleman was standing
before them,
j "I nm Jasper Clark," be said simply, '
and at that name tbey both stared at '
liiiu In amazement. "I know you'll for- j
give nil old man for listening." Then
with a bow he continued whimsically:
"I should very much like the' pleasure
of your company at dinner"?and he
made a gesture toward the Millionaires'
1 club over the way. "You see, the time
may come when I shall want to enter
that quiet little door on Fifty-eighth
street." And he glanced with kindly
! eyes at the future mistress of the
' | House of the Loving Heart.
"Serendipity."
This word is a coinage of Horace
i Walpole's. Writing about a discovery
; lie had made in connection with his
i picture of Liianca Capello, he says:
"This discovery I made by a talis'?
man, which Mr. Chute calls the Sortes
j Walpolianse, by which I find every
! thing I want, a pointe noinmee, wher1
; ever I dip fo^ it. This discovery In
j dfPfl i.Q nlmnat nf H?nf wKloV* T 1
! call serendipity, a very expressive
1 j word, which, as I have nothing better
3 | to tell you, I shnll endeavor to explain
" to you. You will understand it better
by the derivation than by the definition.
I once read a silly fairy tale called
'The Three Princes of Serendip.'
As their highnesses traveled tbey were
- always making discoveries, by accl1
dents and sagacity, of things which
they were not In quest of. For In
stunce, one of them discovered that a
- mule blind of the right eye had trav2
eled the same road lately because the
. grass was eaten only on the left side,
2 where It was worse than on the right.
Now do you understand serendipity?
One of the most remnrkable instances
. of this accidental sagacity (for you
r must observe that no discovery of the
thing you arc looking for comes under
this description) was of my Lord
Shaftesbury, who, happening to dine
f at Lord Chancellor Clarendon's, found
t out the marriage of the Duke of York
- ! and Mrs. llyde by the respect with
1 | which her mother treated her at table."?Notes
and Queries.
t On m I,nrg* Scale.
1 "Yes, sir," resumed the Dakota farmt
er as the crowd of agriculturists seated
a themselves round a little table?"yes,
- i sir. We do things on rather a sizable
: scale. I've seen a man on one of our
I big farms start out In the spring and
e plow a straight furrow until autumn.
Ii : Then he turned round and harvested
| hack. We have some big farms up
mere, gentlemen. A friend of mine
owned one which he had to give a
e mortgage on, and I pledge you my word
a the mortgage was due at one end bet
fore they could get it recorded at the
t other. You see, it was laid out in coun9
ties. And the worst of it is it breaks
I up families so. Two years ago I saw
f j a whole family prostrated with grief?
- women yelling, children howling and
dogs barking. One of my men had his
, camp truck packed on seven four-mule
9 teams, and be was going round bidding
t everybody goodby."
"Where was he going?"
} "He was going half way across the
1 farm to feed the pigs," replied the Da[
kota man.
r "Did he ever get back to his family?"
"It isn't time for him yet. Up there
- we send young married couples out to
r milk the cows, and their children bring

MUST BE IN STYLE.
A woman lives arfrbss the street
Who sews both night and day;
Her children are precise and neat.
Almost too nice to play.
For she's n machine.
As she stitches there.
A sewing machine.
With a bundle of core,
A human sewing machine.
She gets no time to read or play.
Her sewing's never done;
She puzzles over fashions gay
From morn to set of sun.
For she's a machine
As she works all day,
A sewing machine'
As she stitches away,
A human sewing machine.
Her husband's sure to step on frills
If he approaches near;
He flinches when he pays the bills.
For fripperies are dear.
And his wife's a machine.
With t constant *r??d,
A sewing machine
Made of needles and thread,
A human sewing machine.
Unless her shroud Is made with care
And In the latest r'.yle.
When dead she'll not rest anywhere;
8he'U worry all the while.
For she's a machine.
Though she'll die some day,
A sewing machine
That runs nUvay,

Possessed of powers despotic.
What would you do to make him stop?
You'd have that harsh voice grated
Or taken to the butcher shop
And rudely amputated.

Ancient CooUlncr School.
We of the twentieth century are lnjllned
to think of cooking schools as belonging
exclusively to our day and generation.
Therefore It may be news to
many people that as long ago as the
reign of good Queen Anne a Mr. Kiddee
had a school of cookery In Queen
street. Cbeapslde. and nnother in IIolborn.
Here Is his advertisement?the
original Is on good paper, with a neatly
engraved border:
To All Young Ladles:
At Rdward Klddce's pastry school, at
Llttlo Lincoln's Inn Fields, are taught
all kinds of pastry and cookery. Dutch
hollow works and butter works on Thursdays.
Fridays and Saturdays, In the afternoon.
and on the same days In the
mornlnn nt his school In Morris street. St.
Jam**. Havmarkpt. and at his school at
St. Martin's le Grand on Mondays, Tuesdays
and Wednesdays, In the afternoons.
Wlint Dutch hollow works may be
noue of the cooking schools of today
seems to know, but they sound good.
The Fierce Caterpillar.
A more harmless. Inoffensive creature
does not crawl than the common garden
caterpillar, yet this small worm
will put up an appearance so tierce
upon occasion as to frighten Its enemies
away. Soft and pulpy, with uo
defensive or offensive weapons, this
destroyer of cnbbages and lettuces will
bluff itself into a veritable armored
cruiser and frighten many more formidable
Insects Into ungovernable
flight. Its method of procedure is like
this: Immediately anything approaches,
the slow moving, fat caterpillar raises
its hairy body, wags a formidable looking
head and looks the essence of
strength and defiance, so much so that
It requires a bird of a particularly valiant
disposition to attack It.?Chicago

tVhen Doctors Were Slaves.
Romans of means had physicians In
their o%n 1OU308. These men were
slaves, for, odd as It seems, many Roman
slaves were accomplished in literature,
art and science. At one time the
selling price of a slave doctor was
about the equivalent of (300 in our
money.
After the time of Julius Cseanr, who
encouraged physicians, the art began
to "lift Its head" In Rome, and later
men of character and position, thouirh
generally foreigners, entered tbe profession.
Some of tliein accumulated
large fortunes, and one made tbe equivalent
of at least $500,000 In n few
years.
Sarcastic.
In a volume of memoirs It Is told that
on tbe first council day after Ix>rd Derby's
elevation to the premiership Grevllle
showed his disapproval by not appearing
In bis place as clerk. Some
busybody asked Lord Derby whether
be had noticed Greville's absence, and
Lord Derby replied, with a face of
benevolent apology: "No, really! You
know, I am tbe most Inattentive fellow
In the world about these things. I
never notice, when I ring tbe bell,
whether John or Thomas answers it."

Probably Boon bland would be but

A Tough Rawhide Story*
A Hopkins man in an early day, re
lates that most veracious of nil Missou
ri newspapers, the Hopkins Journal
hauled lots of cord wood nnd used raw
hide harness on bis tennis. Rawhide
we all know, expands when wet ant
contracts on drying out. Well, this mar
was hauling an exceptionally big loat
one day when a thunderstorm overtook
him just as lie reached a long hill lead
ing to his home. He was walking be
side his team that he might pay clos<
attention to them nnd did not notice
what the rain was doing for his raw
hide harness until the lop of the long
hill was reached, when to his uttei
amazement the wagon stood at the bot
torn of the bill, the rawhide tugs being
fairly stretched into fiddle strings. lie
was puzzled for a moment, but Jusl
then the sun came out, and n liappj
idea found lodgment in his fertile
brain. He unhitched the team, fas
toned the tugs securely nround a big
tree and went in to dinner. When hi
returned the sun hail caused the raw
-bide to contract sutHclently to bring tin
wagon up that steep hill with a mo
mentuni that smashed both fronl
wheels when it came in contact with
the tree nround which the tugs hail
