WHAT DECIDED IT.

I think her very lovely, mother
'Ontwardly she is so, but under all
that pink and white loneliness have you
found anything but selishness and van
ity ever? Ray, don't spoil your life by
a mistake like that don't let your fan.
cy for q pretty face blind you to the
worth and beauty of life like Elaine
Arnolds =
Raymond Powell looked at his moth
er with a slight quicker between his
/ handsome brows.
He was tall young fellow Of four
and twenty, the darling and only child
OF his widowed neither.
The girl he had called very lovely
was cousin of Elaine Arnold who was
spending her summer in Elaine s house
as her guest.
As the Powel's and Arnolds we're
very close nelghbors, and Elaine had
since she, tiny mite Of three, had cs-
capped from her nurse. and toddled mer-
rily over Mrs. Powell threshold, been
dear as daughter to the gentle lady,
and much like a sister to Ray, Miss
Leila Cranston had soon made herself
quite at home in the rambling old build
ing which was Mrs. Powel's pride.
Why it chaied her to see the welcome
that sLun IN Rays eyes for that dainty,
pretty polished stranger, Mr.. Powell
could best have told and also why she
grew so tender towards Elaine rs the
hot days dragged along and Miss Grams
ton showed no signs Of departure.
Perhaps she saw how that rare. del
icate lovelincss of Lela's made the sal
lowness of Elane's cheek show more
plainly.
Perhaps she understood why the car
rolling voice that had grown necessary
to her, grew so soft aid lost its merr-
ment why the great grey eyes of the
girl she loved had caught an unaccust-
omcd shadow ; what ever the reason
she saw, with mingled fear and pain
Ray 8 growing interest in Leila Cranstor
and she could not help saying wha
was in her heart, us though the hush o
dying day in late summer, she saw
the two girls walking up the path.
Mother he said, at last, very gentl,
i know that Elaine is as sweet as {
flower, as true as the angels, and she il
as dear 10 me as though she were my
sister, but when love comes to man
mother, it makes the object Of it some
thing so rare, so precious, that
ely son, has such love come to yol
for this stranger ?
Yes
She made no reply, choking sensa-
ton in her throat prevented her, and {
mist gathered over her gentle eyes.
Poor Elaine!' she thought, rising
and NOV ng forward to meet the tw'
girls.
As she passed her son, he put out hi
hand to stop her.
What Not word of kindness, no
a good wish for Inc, mother? he sale
reproachfuIly.
She bent and kissed his cheek, bu
said nothing.
A keen pain had darted through he1
temples more than once during the day
Now a dull, heayf pain was setting here
and strange weariness was stealing
over all her limbs, but she greeted hel
guests cheerfully, and DIRE. Elaine te
her as she resumed her seat.
I am not very we'll, dear, she said tt
the girl.
Aud when Ray and Leila present.,
left them and wandered away to the or
chard, she put out her hands, drew the
girls face down to her and kissed it.
I would have thanked God for sucf
daughter, she said, sadly noticing
with pitying eyes the scorching color
that swept Elaine's dark face at these
words.

Mrs. ,Spoford's Content.

Having always been perfectly con-
tented with my lot as woman, and
thinking woman's life in many ways
preferable to a mans, / have never Civ.
en- a thought as to what | would do If |
were a man.
In fact, | cannot summon the appa-
rtion of single thing that | cannot
do as a woman, with the one exception
of voting. That I would do, and take
my part IN directing the affairs of men.
| would clo justice to all, and withhold
natural or social rights from none.
But, then, l would do all that as wo-
man, had ! the opportunity.
After all, if any of us were men, |
am inclined to think we would be like.
ly to do as man now does, and | think
it is as impossible for woman to say
what she would do We're she man, as
it is tor man to say what he would do
were he q disemboded spirit.

when He Wasn't In 1t.

She often goes to dances
And like Il fairy trips
Through waltz, quadrille, and lanclcrs
With u smile upon her bps.
Blu: though ! am her escort
70 party and to ball,
I've meyer been her partner.
For cannot dance at all.
And often view with envy
The other fellows arms
Around her form so slender
Encircling her charms.
I really shouldn't mind it,
But it cuts me like knlto
That l cannot he her partner,
For the darling ls my wife.
But have the satisfaction
As her graceful form see
With anothcr's arm around it,
That her smiles are ali for me.

Natural Gns.

Natural gas as fuel has been in use
about fifteen years. There are now en-
ployed in its transmission for fuel pur-
poses q, 1850 miles of pipe mains. In
Pittsburg alone there are 500 miles, and
the consumption of gas there represents
an annual consumption of 1000, 900 tons
of coal. The head of Pittsburg gas and
oil firm said recently, during a discus
sion of this question: Eastern people
are still afraid that natural gas viii play
out. So far there is no indication Of it,
though when we first commenced to use
it in Pittsburg four or five years ago
