gers, others, dainty and small. and well
gloved, came down upon the cover OF
the machine. Emma Rome had pressed
forward, and now spoke.
STOP" she said. "will you let this
woman keep her machine, II I pay you
ten dollars2"
Them's the boss orders, Miss" re-
piled the man, sand I'd be glad to do
it, too"
Then, while the crowd gathered close
and the woman who had told her pite.
Gus tale sobbed with JOY, Emma drew
the sum named from her purse, re-
ceiyed in return receipt, which she
gave to tho poor woman, and expert
enced for the first time the delight
which the performance of an utterly
unselfish act brings with it.
Moreover, when the machine had
been borne up stairs, Emma, who had
exchanged few words with its owner,
followed her to her miserable room,
noted its poverty, and heard all the
bitter tale. 1t was a tue one-the hot
tears told that.
"But 1 don't mind anything now,"
added the narrator. "Now the machine
is my very own, 1 don't mind how hard
I work. And the only tug is the land
lord-four dollars q month for rent"
GAS much a month as a yard of that
trimming" thought Emma, with little
pang.
She questioned the woman further,
and found that her landlord "lived
down stairs" And before she turned
from the door, she had emptied her
purse, and had paid three months rent
in advance.
"Your husband will be we'll and at
work by that time" she said; and there
were no regrets for the lost fringe, as
she took her way homeward. Nay, she
was not even stung to the soul when
Madame Farine remarked, with glance
that said volumes:
"The black lace from your grenadine
dress? Certainly, since it is your
TASTE"
The dress, however, was not unbe-
coming, despite the refurbished lace,
and Emma wore it to the party. She
was quite conscious that every woman
of her acquaintance knew what the
dress was trimmed with, but her con-
science whispered to her that she had
done right. Moreover, the light OF the
better thought was in her face, and Ar
thur Maine found himself more than
ever attracted by it.
She had learned two lessons in a little
while, one that the poor might be
clothed and fed from the trimmings of
the rich, the other that extravaganza in
dress never yet won any mans heart.
She never forgets either.

The Ancient People of England

The earliest race Of men who peopled
England, says Grant Allen in hao@tedge,
were the black fellows of the palmolithlc
or older stone age. They were low-brow-
ed, fierce -jawed, crouching creatures, in
ferior even to the existing Australians, and
were oil swept away in the glacier epoch.
Long after the glaciers of the ice age had
cleared off the face of the country, sec
ond race occupied Britain, some OF whose
descendants almost undoubtedly exist
there at the present day. These were the
neolithic or stone age men, who have been
identified. with great probability as a
branch OF the = me isolated Basque or Ens-
trarian race which now lives among the
valleys Of the Western Pyrenees or the As
turias mountains. Our knowledge of them
is mainly derived from their tombs or bar
rows-great heaps OF earth which they
piled above the bodies OF their dead chief
tains. From these have been taken theft
skeletons, their weai ons, Their domestic
utensils and their ornaments.
In stature the Deolithic men were short
aud thick set, not often exceeding five feet
four inches. Ia complexion they were
probably white but swarthy like the dsrk.
est Italians and Spaniards, or even the
Moors. Their skulls were very long and
narrow, and they form the best distin-
gushing mark OF the raca as well as the
best test Of ts survival at the present day,
The neoliths were unacquainted with the
use Of metal but they employed imple-
ments and weapons Of stone. not rudely
Clipped, like those OF the older stone age,
but carefully ground and polished They
made pottery too, and woye cloth; they
domesticated pigs aud cattle, aud they
cultivated coarse cereals 10 the little plats
which they cleared ont Of the forest, with
their stone hatcLels aud tomahawks. In
general culture they we're about at the
same level as the more advanced Poleyne-
sian tribes when they first came into con.
tact with European civilization. The bar
rows which they raised over their dead
chieftains were long and rather narrow
not round like those Of the later Celtic
conauerors They appear 10 have lived
for the most part in little stoekaded villa
ges, each occupying small clearing IN
the riyer valleys aud ruled over by sin
Gle chief, aud the barrows usually cap tho
summit Of the boundary hills which over
look the little dAlcs. Inside them are
long ohambered galleries OF large, rough
hewn stones, aud when these primitive
erections are laid bare by the decay or re
moyal Of the barrow they form the social
ed ''Druidical monuments OF old fashion
ed .niiquaries, few OF which are Celtic
but the greater part Eustrarian.
