for I'll tell frankly that I'm engaged to
some one else"
1t Miss Halloweu had suddenly spoken
to him in pure Sanscrit or the choicest
iroquois, Mr. Thornton could not have
been more astounded He sat for few
moments in silent amazement. But the
utter righteousness of the thing soon
came to him in it's full force, and, with
out any premonitory symptoms, he fell
into violent paroxysm of laughter. His
efforts to control himself were quite
useless, and one or two faint attempts
which he made to speak were instantly
smothered in fresh outburst
Miss Hallowell's establishment was, at
first, as great as his had been. She, too,
soon recovered from that feeling; but,
instead of being succeeded by mirth, it
was followed, in her case, by a passion
ate fit of anger. With look of ineffable
scorn she got up, walked out of the par
lor, and went straight to her own room.
Mr. Thornton left the house feeling una
BILE to make any explanation at that time.
In the meanwhile Miss Hallowell in
dulged in numerous rather wild plans
for being revenged upon the man who,
she thought, had treated her so shame
fully in return for her consideration and
kindness. But at last she found relief in
flood of tears, and soon afterward was
half-inclined to laugh at the whole affair
herself
She returned to the city a few days
after this little episode; and one morn
ing, when ST had been at home nearly a
week, she received the following note:
ERCULANEUM, Jan. 2, 1873
My DEAR Miss HAILowELL-I hardly
know how to apologize for what must have
seemed to you the most outrageous rudeness
But as the exact truth of the matter is all
that can afford any excuse for me, will give
it at once. L called that morning at Mrs
Mason's request, having promised her to give
you some advice about your manner to gen
tlemen; and feeling, after the promise was
made, that you could hardly fail to consider
such action very officious and understandable,
I was awkward and embarrassed, and con-
Quoted myself in way which led to the very
natural mistake you made. 1 beg you to be-
heve that am heartily sorry for having acted
so foolishly throughout, and hope you will
not refuse to number among your friends your
sincere well-wisher, ALAN THORNTON.
Miss Hallowelps reply was an invita-
ton to her wedding.-HeMrM and Home

A SN0W-KING.
by FRANK r. STQcKT0N

BY FRANK R. STOCKTON.
CAsPAR was dog, and he lived with
the monks in the monastery of st. Ber-
naro' Tar up on the Alps-the very high.
est dwelling in that range of mountains.
You nave all heard Of these great St.
Bernard dogs; but if you have never
seen Caspar you have no idea how grand
dog can be-that is, if he happen to
be snow-king.
And Caspar was king of the snow
every inch of him.
NOW Caspar was not very old dog,
and he had already saved two lives. And
yet he was not proud-or, at any rate,
he did not show it.
In fact, if you had seen him Jogging
around the monastery you might never
nave thought that he was king of any
klnd-much less such an important
monarch as the snow-king. For almost
any intelligent person might make a
pretty good king of the ordinary kind,
but kings of the snow are very scarce
indeed.
One day it began to snow early in the
morning up on the mountains. It did
not snow very hard at first, but people
VINO were weather-wise thought that
tnere would be quite a storm after
awhile.
AS the day wore on it became colder
ana colder, and the wind began to freeze
the snow-fakes into little icy Jumps. and
1t hurled them like showers of bullets
across the valleys and over the noun
tain-peaks.
Although the wind roared sometimes
around the craggy corners, and showers
OF icy shot would now and then rattle
against some frozen crust of snow, the
mountains seemed quiet, and certainly
they were desolate.
Up on the mountain sides lay vast
masses of snow and ice that were grow
ing heavier and heavier as the snow fell
faster and faster. These were all ready
to come laundering and crashing down
INTO the valleys below and seemed only
waiting for the signal to begin their mad
rush down the mountain-side
For when these great masses of snow
and ice are piled up in this way in the
Alps it often requires but very little
thing to start them off, Sometimes
loud word, or the breaking of stick, or
a heavy footstep will jar the air or snow
sufficiently to send an avalanche on it's
way.
It would hardly be supposed that on
such day as this that anyone would be
out Of doors; but, Notwithstanding the.
bad weather and the promise of worse
weather to come, on that afternoon there
were FIVE persons toiling up the road to-
ward the monastery.

Significance of the Finger.

EACH finger, and the mount at the
base of it, is named after a planet. In
The normal hand the second finger is the
| longest, and the third the next in length
while the first is nearly as long as the
third and much longer than the fourth
| or little finger. Jupiter is the first finger;
| il 1t be long and not ill-shapen, and the
mount at the base be well developed, it
indicates noble and lofty character and
religious-minded person. If dispropor-
tionately long, it will mean different
things according to the type of the hand
in which it may be found; or according
to the type Of that particular finger. In
the first type an over-long first finger
would denote an inclination to the fam
tastic or exaggerated in religious matters;
or it might, perhaps, mean religious
madness; or, if other signs in the hand
favored this view, it could be taken to
denote pride. Pride is form of worship
the culture of self In the second type
of hand the excessive development of
Jupiter might mean ambition, or, if it
were in hand that is eminently unselfish,
it might stand for something that is
puritanical in manners or morals-a type
of too great a severity. In the third
type very long first finger would
probably signify vanity. The second
finger is Saturn. Ii too prominent it
announces melancholy, or misanthropy,
or downright cruelty, according to the
of h,,4 ho \
due proportion this sadness may take
the form OF pity for others, or it may
mean becoming gravity. The third
finger is Apollo and belongs to the arts.
In a pointed" hand Apollo will give
poetry and music (composition); and in
square-shaped" hand, painting, sculp-
ture (here art leaves the domain of the
purely contemplative-it becomes part
ly active from the combination OF manual
skill with only what is imaginative); and
in a spade-shaped" hand Apollo gives
histrionic power, an aptitude for acting,
or love of theatrical amusements. On
the stage art is joined in the closest man
ner to motion. The fourth finger is Mer-
curry. If well proportional it promises
scientific turn of mind Resourceful-
ness and diplomacy and palmistry agree
in almost all particulars about the
thumb. In both systems it is treated as
| the most important part OF the hand.
The upper joint. that with the nail,
stands for the will; the second division,
the reasoning faculties; the base, the
animal instincts.-St. PauPs Magazine
