"It's a Httle cbil|y \q- j nlgbf.!' she said, "and I think you need i 1 It." Then, turning to Albert, stye ' pddpd, "Wouldn't you like one, too, ! ! Mr. Pago?" "I would, thank you," he answered, ! ! 'if you hare another to spare." He wouM have answered yes If she i 1 had asks$ him to put on woolen mit- | tens. She returned to the house and came hack, this time bearing a white ' sephyr wrap, and handed it to Albert. "I wftfebM^jou good night now," she said, "for I presume you will, sit here 1 long after bedtime." Uncle Terry's eyes followed her back | to the house, and then he turned to his guest. "I B'pose ye'd rather be talkin' to Telly than me out here in the moonlight," he said bluntly, "now that ye've got a little acquainted. It's the way I: o* young folks." : "I've bad a very pleasant visit With 1 yppp daughter this afternoon," fpspopded Albert. "She was good enough to go with me to where I got left yes. teniay. 1 wanted to finish the sketch I began there." Uncle Terry made no answer, but sat puffing away at one i of the cigars Albert had given him. "Mr. Page," said Uncle Terry at last, "I've worried a good deal since last night 'bout what ye told me, an' I've made up my mind to tell ye the i hall story an' trust ye with what no one else knows. To'begin with, it's nineteen years ago last March when | thar war a vessel got afoul o' a ledge % Jest olTn the p'lnt here In a snowstorm, . an' all hands went down?that Is, all bat a little yearlln' baby that cum ashore tied up 'tween two feather beds.

The notice was signed by that lawyer, Frye, that I asked ye 'bout, an' I went to see' him. He wanted proofs an' all that, an' I gave 'em to Mm, an', wussen that, he wanted money, an' I gave that to- him. He's kep' ask In* fer money ever since, an' I, ?llke a fool, kep' sendln' it, in hopes If Telly had anything comtn' she'd git her dnes.

"I see now, Mr. Terry, why you distrust lawyers, and I do not wonder at It. To the best of iny belief, you have been swindled in the most outragepus manner by Krye. He no doubt Is acting for some law Arm who have Instructed him to And an heir, If there Is one, to this estate, and they would uaturnlly advance all expense intftiey. Do you know the vessel's name, where she sailed from and who her master was?" "She was a square rigger, an* the master's name was Peterson. In the newspaper piece the name was Neils Peterson, who cum from Stockholm," answered Uncle Terry. "I've got it In Day wallet now, an* on the locket was the letters E. P., an* on a piece o' paper that was pinned to the baby's dress was the name Etelka Peterson." "And did you send these proofs to Frye?" asked Albert quickly. "I sent 'em six' months ago," was the reply, "an' I've Jest 'bout made up my mind I was a fool to 'a' done it, an' a bigger one to keep sendin' money." "It would have been nil right," answered Albert after a pause, "if you had put them into an honest man's hands. As it is you are lame?in fact, utterly at the mercy.of Frye, who is robbing you." Then, after thinking a moment, he added: "I will gladly do what I can to help you, Mr. Terry, and at no cost to you for my own services. The first step must be to get possession of these material proofs, the next to find what firm has employed Prye. We are helpless until wo get possession of those proofs." "Ain't my word an* Lissy's as to savin' the baby no 'count?" asked Uncle Terry. "Very good, so far as It goes, but really no proof that the child you saved Is the one wanted for this Inheritance. In the matter of a legacy the law is very exacting and demands absolute proof. No, the only way is to use duplicity and trick Frye or ask him to name his price and pay it, and as the estate may be large his price will naturally be extortionate." Albert thought n moment and then added, "Has Frye ever written you admitting he has received or has those proofs in his possession?" "Not a word," answered Uncle Terry. "All he writes is: 'Your casp is progressing favorably. I need so much more money,' an' I send it an' lay 'wake nights worryln'." "How long since he has sent for money?" asked Albert. "'Bout a month, I reckon," replied Uncle Terry. "I confess, Mr. Terry, I am stumped." After a pause Albert asked Uncle Terry: "How docs your?I mean, how does Telly feel about this matter, Mr. Ter ry, for I suppose she knows the story?" "That's suthin' I hate to talk 'bout, but as ye're likely to see more o' us an' more o' Telly It's better ye know It all. When she was 'bout ten we told her the story an' showed her the things we'd kep' locked up.

"The race is growing nearsighted, owing to city life and the conditions of our civilization," said an eye specialist. "Our visual range Is confined to near objects for the greater part of the day," said he, "and this keeps the eyes turned in. An object twenty feet away will make the eyeballs parallel. "Anything less will turn them In, and people who spend their hours in offices and crowded fiats necessarily have a short range of vision, which overworks and weakens the interior muscles close to the nasal cavity. "The exterior muscles not being so strained are strong and bence cause the eyes to turn out. Let a person who is thus affected spend a week or two in the country and his eyes become normal again, because he gets greater range of vision.

Among the Yno Midos, one of the many Burmese-Tartar people, tlie young men xvoo their wives absolutely without words, but to the sound of music. On the lirst day of winter they have a great feast, at which all the marriageable girls gather and listen to the uiuslc made by the bachelors, who sit under the "desire tree," each playing his favorite instrument. As the maiden he loves passes him the youth plays louder and more feelingly. If the girl Ignores him and passes on he knows that she will have none of him; If she steps up to him and lays a flower upon the instrument, he jumps up, grasps her by the hand, taking cnre not to drop the flower, and they go away together.

Cupid worked overtime on the big Sunday school picnic which went ta the Mediterranean and the Holy Land on the Grosser Kurfurst, which recently arrived at New York, finishing a cruise insting seventy-one days, with 523 delegates to the Sunday school convention in Jerusalem. Eight couples innounced their engagements to the friends that met them on the pier when the steamer docked, says the New York Tribune. The ship's surgeon. Dr. Bcharpenach, was one of the lucky men. He became engaged to a Sunday school teacher from Pittsburg. Dr. Scharpenach Is to leave the Grosser Kurfurst and settle in Pittsburg as soon as he is married. There might have been many more engagements had not one crabbed dominie gone on deck one night when the steamer was at SlafTa. It was almost 0:30 o'clock, and, to the good man's surprise, there were no less than twenty couples engaged in light and frivolous conversation, while they held hands with each other. He complained about It, and as a result the hurricane deck was closed thereafter at 7 o'clock. At the same port the Rev. Mr. Bangs distinguished hlnmnlf lw "J v" *-?" board. He was the largest man on board and was got on deck ngaln with difficulty. He said, when he had got the water out of his eyes and nose, thnt he was glad he had fallen overboard and that his baptism had been just as pleasing to him as though It had been In the river Jordan. A part of each day during the cruise was devoted to religious exercises, lectures and study. In the runs between points of Interest the place to be visited would be described with Biblical and historical comments. Eighteen days were spent In Palestine, Ave In Cairo, four In Rome, three In Athens, where an enormous meeting was held on Mars hill, and three days In Constantinople. The convention, April 18-20, was held In a great tent just outside the Damascus gate and near Mount Calvary. The sessions were dally attended by nearly 2,000 people of all races and colors. There were 815 delegates from the United States and Canada and over 400 from England. The Other Extreme. Parke?Poor Pllter! His wife Is a spendthrift.
