She sang it in a minor key, and ns
the opening words, "Oh, don't you remember
sweet Alice, Ben Bolt," floated
~ out on the still evening air they seemed
to him fraught with a new meaning
and that a veritable sweet Alice was
bidding him, another Ben Bolt, not to
forget her. When the last note had
faded into the night air she turned
her now serious eyes toward him. ?
"I thank you," he almost whispered.
"And there won't be many waking moments
In my future when I shall not

The first visit of Prank Nobou to the
Page home, his sleighrldes with Alice
and his appearance at church had
caused no end of comment. It was
known that be had been a classmate of
Albert and came from Boston, and later
Aunt Susan vouchsafed the information
that she "guessed he came from
one & the first families and that he appeared
right well behaved."
It was all she really did know, for
both Alice and her brother wele considerate
of her fallings and knew it
was not safe to discuss their visitor In
her presence. The tempest of gossip
had not more than half quieted down
when it received a regular boom from
his second coming. The pupils of the
north end district school spread the
news of their teaoher's unexpected
callers and that she had dismissed
school at once and gone on with the

The buxom Abby Miles had the best
and longest story to tell, and her
praise of Mr. Nason, how polite he was
and "how he Couldn't keep his eyes

whispered to every girl she koew. The

gossip, however. The miller had remarked
thaj a ' ypung feller Who
threw money found that way must be
rich," and that remark soon grew Into
a story that Alice Page's beau was
worth a million and that she was engaged
to him.
As might be expected, the subject of
all thie gossip heard none of it until

Aunt Susau, who had lingered to chat r

"I won't believe he told Amos he was n
worth a million," she said to herself.
"He isn't so stupid ns that. But I ?
am afraid the silly boy did give him
$5, which has started all this gossip." ^
When Aunt Susan came In she fairly c
pounced upon her. ' "Why haven't you ll
told me, auntie, about all this gossip n
that's going the rounds regarding Mr. 8
Nason and myself? I know you have s

"He's got Aunt Susan on hla side as e

im glad I kept him at a distance, just g
to pay hlui for belug so silly with his t

Late that afternoon Alice called upon e
Abby Miles and talked about- every, c

July and August, when perhaps In ^
some manner Alice rage could he induced
to come, with his mother and
slaters to chaperon her and her brother
and some other friends to complete
the party. #
He had the Gypsy put In 0rst claae b

intended Alice should occupy, uphol

lis plans that no tinier, me start so as
? utilize the July moon for the lirsl
en days and mapped out a trip taking
a all tlio Maine coast, spending a week
t Itar Harbor, and then a run up as
ar'as Nova Scotia. .
He had described all the charms of
his trip to Alice and extended to her
he most urgent invitation. He had
btained her brother's promise to implement
it and also to make one of the
arty, and he had persuaded his sister
tiancli to aid Iiim with his mother, but
e had met discouragement on all sides,
u the first place, Alice wrote it was
oubtful if she could go. It would be
delightful outing and one she would
njoy, but It would not be right to
?ave Aunt Susan alone for so long, and
hen, as her school did not close until
he last of June, she would have no
[me to get ready.
To cap the climax of Frank's discomture,
when July came his mother anounced
that she had decided to go to
he mountains for the summer.
"It's no use, Bert," he said to his
riend one evening. "I Wanted your
ister to go to Maine with us and mothr
and the girls and a' few more to
lake a party, but It's uo go. I cau't
iduce your sister to join us, aud It's
0 use lr Blie would, for mother has
etermined to go to the mountains, and
tint settles it. If you and I .have any
utlng on the yacht we must make up
gander party."
"That suits me just as well as, and
1 fact better than, the other plan," relied
Albert consolingly. "If we have
lot of ladies along we must dance ntsndance
upon them, and if not we can
sh, smoke, play cards, sing or go to
leep when we feel like It. I tell you,
'rank," he continued, evidently deslrlg
to cheer up that young man, "girls
re all right as companions at home or
t balls and theaters, but on a yacht
hey are In the way."
A week afterward, and early one
right morning, the Gypsy, with
kipper, crew and a party of eight
Dlly young men on board, sailed out
f Boston und that night dropped
nchor under the lee of an island In
'.asco bay. She remained there one
ull day and the next ran to Boothay
and found shelter in a landlocked
ove forming part of the const line
f Soutliport island. It was after diner
next day, and while the rest of
he party were either playing cards or
npping In hammocks under the awnrig,
that Albert I'nge took oue of the
oats, his pipe and sketchbook and
owed down the const a mile to an in;t
he had noticed the day before. The
uter point of this was formed by a
old Cliff that he desired to sketch, and
ulling the boat well up behind the
oner point, tying the painter to a
ock and taking the cushions along,
e found rf shady spot and sat down.
?ho sloping rock ho selected for a

He worked for an hour putting the
reed draped rocks and long swells ,

nd then, lulled perhaps by the monotnous
rhythm of the ocean, lay back
n the cushions and fell asleep. The
text he knew he was awakened by a
old scnsution and found the tide had
lsen until It wet his feet. Hastily
ettlng up, he took the cushions and
eturned to where he had left the boat,
nly to find It had disappeared. The
ising tide had lifted the boat and
alnter from the rocks, and It was
owhere to be seen.
"There must be some road back up
n the Island," he thought, "that will

Some Irish WrddlnK*.
Shrove Tuesday weddings In Ireland
are exceedingly common, and sometimes
among the peasantry they are
celebrated In strange circumstance*.
There is a story of a young peasant
girl being aroused out of bed on the
night of Shrove Tuesday to be married
before midnight to a well to do
Irish-Australasian whom she had never
seen, though he was known to her
parents, who made the match. It
turned out n happy marriage. The
young people usually take the matter
philosophically, believing that their
parents know best how to make them
happy. Tills anecdote is told of a Tlptierary
girl: "Biddy," asked her friend,
"are ye goin* off this Shraff?" "Musha,
I don't know that," said Biddy, "but
they're slttin' ofi upstairs"?meaning
that matchmaking was in progress.
Another story relates to a number of
weddings taking place in n Minister
church on Slirove Tuesday. "An'
wliere's yer intended, Joe?" one swain
was asked. "Begob, Mick, I couldn't
tell ye, hut, I believe she's up there
among the feathers and ribbons in the
front row of sates." He learned who
she was when the names were called
out.

Back in the seventies, when Dewey
had command of a ship of the old Hartford
type, he was lying In the harbor
off Genoa. Visitors were allowed on
board at all times, except Sunday morning,
when Inspection took place. One
Sunday a well known American mil-.
lloualre steamed out with a party of
friends In Ills private yacht and succeeded
In getting on deck, where he
was met by Captain Dewey, who asked
liini to leave. Mr. Money remonstrated,
and tiunlly, exasperated by the cool
firmness of tlie officer, he burst out:
"No, sir; I won't leave. I am an American
citizen and have a perfect right
on this vessel. I pay taxes in America.
I am on my own property. Tart
of tliis ship belongs to me!" Calmly
uewey openea 111s penknife, stooped
down nnd split ofT a piece of the deck

American citizen, he replied: "There's
about what you own, and there's the
ladder. Now git!" And he got.

When Koreans don mourning the
first stage demands n hat as large as a
diminutive open clothesbasket. It is
four feet in circumference and completely
conceals the face, which is hidden
further by a piece of coarse lawn
stretched upon two sticks and held
Just below the eyes. In this stage
nothing whatever of the face may be
seen. The second stage is denoted by
the removal o*f the screen. The third
period is manifested through the replacement
of the inverted basket by
the > customary 'headgear, made in
straw color. The ordinary head covering
takes the shape of the high crowned
hat worn by Welsh women, with a
broad brim, made in black gaufte upon
a bamboo frame.
Bird SurgMj-.
An English writer on birds says: "A
redshank, which wns with some other
'waders' in an aviary containing a
pond, wounded itself on the top of the
head. Unfortunately the bird died,
but on Inspection it wns fonnd that it
had plastered the wound over with
mud. This example of a bird's instinct
for self preservation is very striking,
ana i ueneve tnnt Cor n bird to doctor
its liend is most unusual, although
snipe nnd woodcock lmve been known
to heal broken legs by coating the fractured
parts with clay, which became
bard."
ller Importance.
Herbert Sponr*- once told this story
of a woman of his acquaintance: "Vain
as well as vulgar fninded, she professed
to have a high admiration of Shakespenre
and was partial to reading his
plays aloud nnd considered that she
declaimed the speeches extremely trslk
On one occasion, after enlarging upon
her reverence for him, she ended by
saying: 'Al?, I often wish that he were
alive and that I had him here. How
we would enjoy one another's conversation!'

Acrobatic In Metafhon.
It sometimes happens that a speaker's
enthusiasm runs away with him
and his metaphors, as, for Instance,
when a zealous supporter of a certain
organization recently thundered forth,
"He Is a person, my frlends?I know
what I nin saying, for I have had personal
experience?he is a person who
would not hesitate to slap you on the
back before your face and give you a
black eye behind your back!" ,
