school; and, though never. dreamed you
could still love me, I have loved you
every moment since we parted. When
I left you I hoped to return to you soon,
happy and prosperous; but baff1ed and
disappointed, l could not bear to bring
my poverty and grief for you to share,
and L batt1ed with the world, weary and
broken-hearted, until I began to doubt
all truth and goodness, and believed no
woman could welcome back toil-worn,
beggared man, as she would one who was
glad and prosperous.
I saw her arm steal about his neck,
and her lips touch his cheek, and he went
on again:
"Better days dawned upon me, and L
came back again, loving you still towoo
and win you, if you could forgive my
long and shameful silence. The first
news I heard, dearest, was that you was
betrothed to another; and, although it
almost broke my heart, I vowed that if
this was true, [ would not mar your new
found happiness by bringing back the
memories of the past Had you loved
him Linda, you never should have known
that Will Brace dwelt among living men,
although he would have prayed for your
happiness while he had heart to pray
with, and blessed you until his lips were
done forever"
There was another pause, and I could
hear her sob.
"To-day, Linda, I followed my rival,
as I thought him, to this door. [ heard
the words he spoke, and 1 also heard
your answer. I learnt, my angel, that
you had forgiven me; that you was still
true to the wanderer whose only merit
was that he loved you fondly, and no
words can tell you the ecstacy of that
moment, the balm that knowledge pour
ed upon my wounded heart. Will you
be my wife still, Linda? Will you share
the little that I have of wealth, and let
me have right to the treasure of your
woman's heart ?"
She did not speak, but her head sunk
lower still, and her white arms twined
themselves tenderly about the bronzed
neck of the man with the black beard.
A week later the village paper report
ed the marriage of Miss Linda Harring-
ton and Mr. William Brace, and our
school was without mistress.

origin Of a Common Custom.

Somebody asks through the World
how the custom of hanging flags at
"haf-staff" on the death of certain per-
sons originated, and receives the follow
ing for response: The custom of putting
flags at half-staff, or half-mast, is proba-
bly, as old as the use of flags themselves,
which certainly dates back to the time of
Punic wars, if not further. It was GUS
tomary at that time to lower the flag in
token of defeat, for we are told that after
the capture of the Carthaginian ships by
the Romans their flags were taken down
and trailed over their sterns by the vic
tors as is still done when captured YES
sells are brought into port. The custom
of putting flags at half-staff in all proba-
bility quite as old, and most likely was
confined to the navy at first.

A Wonderful Rooster.

Graballsky, notorious Russian
swindler, having been at last captured,
numerous stories of his crooked ex-
ploits are being told, among them the
following:
At Kharkov millionaire ex-banker
spent his retirment in making ahiggeldy-
piggeldy collection of curiosities, living
and dead, natural and artificial, spurred
only by devouring mania for the odd,
and without the slightest knowledge of
the actual value of what he was collect
ing at colossal cost. A strong man
visited him, and informed him that he
had received news of remarkable freak
of nature which friend of his, Jewish
peddler, had discovered in a peasant g
hut In the grain country. This curl
osity was q rooster, with two horns.
It belonged toa old woman, who offered
to sell it to the Hebraic Autolycus for a
pound of tobacco and gallon of brandy,
but he was afraid to NEEDLE with it. All
the country regarded her as witch, and
as her familiar, its possession would be
perilous to him. The stranger, however,
entertained no trepidation in the matter,
and was willing to undertake the risk of
securing the extraordinary fowl for a
consideration. Knowing the bankers
love for such eccentricities and mis-
liberality in paying for them, he gave
him the first call on this one.
The dupe on his part was not only
willing but eager to secure it, With
500 roubles for starter, and the prom
Use of three times as many on the del1v-
cry of the cornuted cock, the adventurer
was started on his journey, which ended
in neighboring beer-shop, Of course.
He returned, week afterward, on
horseback, and bathed in mud, at 10
o'clock at night. He had the coveted
fowl in box, with its head additionally
tied up in order to preserve the horns
from injury. It was an ordinary russell
rooster, but from the back of it's head on
either side of the comb, protruded two
sharp, polished black horns. They
were more than an inch long, and looked
very much like the spurs which orna-
mented it's legs. The bird was lively,
plump, and in good condition generally.
The overioyed curiomaniac paid the
stipulated price, and put his prize away
safe in gilded parrot-cage till morning.
When he went to look at it by daylight
he found only simple barn-yard cock,
with a couple of Jumps of black wax
sticking to it's skull. The horns, in the
shape of pair of long spurs sawed from
another bird of the same species, were on
the floor of the cage, against whose bars
the cock had rubbed them off during the
night. The victim had paid about
81, 500 for the curiosity he could have
manufactured himself for less than 81.

Queer AvOcatiOns.

There are many ways of getting a Ev-
ing, many of them 80 unique, and at the
same time legitimate, that they deserve
more than passing notice. A lady resi-
dent of the FaubourgSt. German, Paris,
is credited with earning good income
by Matching red, black and brown ants
for pheasant preservers. One Partisan
gets his living by breeding maggots out
of the foul meats he buys of the chiffo-
niers, and fattening them up in tin boxes
Another breeds maggots for the special
behoof of nightingales; and third omar
chand d'asticots" boasts of selling be-
tween thirty and forty million of worms
every season for piscatorial purposes.
He owns great pit at Montmartre,
where he keeps his store. Every day
his scouts bring him fresh stock, for
which he pays them from five to ten
pence per pound, according to quality;
reselling them to anglers at just double
those rates, and clearing thereby over
three hundred pounds year. No Won
der he processes great fondness for his
"children" as he calls them; although,
like other fond fathers, he is ready
enough to part with them when oppor-
tunity offers.

A Water NYmnh.

A thirty hours swim was undertaken
by young lady in England a fortnight
ago. Before entering the water, Miss
Beckwith invited several ladies into her
dressing-room to see that she had no as
sistance in the way of concealed floating
supports. She swan in the whale tank,
which was surrounded by spectators,
who frequently applauded occasional dis
plays of ornamental swimming. She
continued gliding easily along the forty
feet of water in the tank, varying the
breast swimming by occasional changes
to the side and back and by easy floating.
She took coffee and beef-tea from float
ing table. During the night she amused
herself by singing and reading, the latter
process being accomplished by floating
on her back, and holding the book in
both hands.

OUT OF TUNE.
BY STELLA G. AIKENS.

All through this life of mine,
Through months and years of time,
Borne en- an alien breeze,
Low meath the whispering trees
Came that sweet minor chord,
Played out of tune.
In this faint heart of mine,
To-day and for all time,
In great surging flood
Leaps in my veins the blood
Falls that sad minor chord,
Played out of tune.
Deep in this soul of mine,
Moved not for space or time,
Fearing the worlds cold scorn,
Living vet all unborn
Lies that great minor chord
Played out of tune.
