oblivious to time, the little sprite

along running hours into minutes and
minutes into seconds. Such was the

Louise was greatly surprised and
shocked when she saw how late it had
grown, and expressed a wish to return
home with all possible speed.
''Ah, Paul." said she. show could you

Louise had some doubts on the point,
and misgiyings took possession of her.
What if it became quite dark, and they
SO far from home with no road the
greater part of the way to guide them
back! She began to worry and fret,
and Paul began to console and comfort.
Thus they went along for mile or so,
and Louise began to feel more cheerful.
But directly she espied dark cloud
stealing up in the south. Only the edge
of it was visible as yet, but it was stead
lily approaching and babe fair to mantle
the heavens within an hour.

was better than rcpining.
Paul had studies of his own. lie
was reading medical works and was
going to be IL doctor. He had taken one
course ut IL medical college and hoped
to return the next fall to take another
if he was fortunate enough TO raise q
crop on his claim and get money
to pay his way. His sole possession
was the claim, and he could mortgage
that as Green had his, ION long time and
easy terms" but he hoped to have home
ere long for himself and Louise, SO he
hesitated to raise money in that way.
Old Markham had money, but he was
opposed to Paul's plans, and he refused
to let him have q dollar on any kind of
terms.

But Pauls design was not to be
thwarted by that sort of talk, and he
resolved to work his own way. lie
planned to raise crop and get the
means to continue his study that way
if possible, and, if the crop failed again,
he would mortgage his land.
So the winter passed and the spring
came, and soft, warm haze lay
over all the endless stretch of prairie.
Again the poor settlers brought out
their plows and set to work to break
the soil and plant the crops, full of hope
and confidence. With the return of the

So after considering the matter well,
Mary decided to say nor do nothing
to antagonizc her daughters scnti-
ments. She remembered only too Wv
idly what the result of such action had
been in her own case. and she knew that
young lovers could not be driven. She
realized that harsh measures would
only bring the lovers closer together,
and result in the very thing she was
anxious to avert-a premature mar
riagc. So Mt last, taking Louise's hand
in her own. she said:
''Do as have told you. Louise; treat
Paul rs kindly rs you can. and remenl-
her him as your best friend, but do not
make him any promises. lie knows

and lie will not think it hard to leave

Paul spoke like one very deeply hurt,
and in an instant Louise was all con-
triton. She saw that she had wounded
Paul, and she would not hurt him for
the world. She was anxious to make
amends, but she was at loss how
to proceed, and again they walked
on in silence. She thought of various
things to say, but none of them were
suited to the occasion, and SO at last,
when the long silence was becoming
oppressive and she felt that something
must be said, she decided to come out
boldly and beg his forgiveness. Lay
ing her hand on his arm she looked
wistfully into his face, and with lips
all a-tremble, said:
Paul, / am silly thing, and you
must not mind what l say. / do not
mean to doubt you, dear, good Paul, and
l want you to forgive me, will you,
Paul, and forget what | was foolish
enough to say?''
1t would have required an iron will to
withstand that tender little appeal,
spoken in such soft tone, and those
mild brown eyes looking SO sorrowfully
up from beneath their long dark lashes.
1t was not in the nature of things for
Paul to hold out against it for an in
slant, and like flash the cloud went
from his face and it shone out again all
light and smiles.
There, there, Louise" he said. "it is
all right was sure you couldn't have
SO poor an opinion of me, and I'm sorry
that said anything to hurt you. Well
forget it all and never think of it again. -
And Paul bent to kiss the rosy lips
which Louise turned up to him, and the
little misunderstanding was at an end.
Yes, SO far as Paul was concerned il
was, but little shade of doubt re-
manned in Louise's heart and ranked
for a long time after.

Forest Treea In America.

1t is stated on good authority that
North America has about Ale species Of
forest trees. The distribution is as fol-
lows. Atlantic region, l76; Pacific
region, 1O6: common to both, 10: Rocky
Mountain region, 46; Florida tropical
species, -; Europe has only l5s species.
At least six of the North American
species are also indigenous in Europe.
The extremely rapid destruction Of
American forests is not only an alarm
ing waste of resources, but has result
cd in great loss from the appalling
floods that are clearly traced to re-
moval of the trees from the hillsides.

CHATTER VI.
PAUL AND LOUISE.

Lo.isc accepted Pauls books now
and with her mothers aid she studied
thcrl we'll and faithfully. She had at
tended school sufficiently back east to
lay the foundation for fair education,
and, being bright-mindcd and quick to
learn. she made excellent progress with
her studies and bid fair to gain a good
education even under such unfavorable
circumstances.
Mary was 4 good scholar and well
adapted to the duties Of teaching, and
she never tired of aiding Louise. Then
Paul came over quite frequently of
evenings and he was not by any means
avcrsc to giving such assistance as lay
in his power. In fact he was SO anxious
to teach Louise and pursued the task
with such diligence and ear.estness
that it was apparent that he de-
rived fully as much pleasure, if not
profit, from it rs Louise did. Paul
was Il most exemplary teacher. and
nothing was too difficult or too hard for
his efforts SO long as it was for Louise S
good. He never wearicd of explaining
dry, tough arithmetical problems or of
conjugating iuiceless verbs. But it
must be remembered that Paul's pupil
was u select one, and it is more than
probable that almost any young man,
feeling as he did, would have done
equally well. or ut least labored with
fully as much zeal.
Louise not only progressed in her
studies. but she spent some very happy
evenings, and the remaining months of
winter passed off rauch more pleasantly
than she had anticipated. John and
Mary always welcomed Paul to their
house, and rs they came to be better ac-
quaintcd with him they grew to liking
him more and moro. He was of u happy
disposition, and he had n way of max
ing people forget their sorrows and
troubles, and often he ch;rllcd John up
out of lit Of Observation-Disclosures and
brought q sIailc to his lips and a twinkle
of pleasure to his eyes. Paul made it a
point to take the chccrfulest view OF
the future, and sometimes he went off
into the widest flights of fancy in
speaking of what he contemplated &C.
complishins for himself. Ills dreams

HOW ONE WOMAN PLAYS.

A Bit of an Error That Caused a
Party to Break Up in a Spat.
Brooklyn Standard nion
A type of woman to be dreaded at the
card table. is the. tender-hearted one.
She was at her best the other night
when a jackpot was to the fore and it
had been opened for 25 cents. Ever v
body was in it and everybody was pre-
pared to bet pretty heavily, when the
tender-hearted lady said: Nov, chill
dren, I'm not going to let you get
cheated; there's no possibility of any
body beating N.Y. hand. and so there's no
use in my taking any more of your
money"
The natural conclusion was that she
had royal flush. had she? When
that marvellous hand that was to beat
everybody was laid down it was a
straight, jack high! The woman oppo-
site her held four aces, a man had full
hand, queen high, and another held
four trays. A madder party than this
you never saw in your lie. And the
woman who held four aces gave her
friend piece of her mind. Said she:
"When you don't know how to play a
game don't fool away the time and up
set the tempers of people who do, and
when you are playing cards don't get
too tender-hearted. Keep that sort of
feeling for the seclusion of your family
and for your sewing society. / don't
CAFE if you do cry; if you don't
know how to play the game you
have no business to make things un-
comfortable for other people, and, if
you want to learn, then you ought to be
willing to endure disappointments until
you find out the right way. You've
broken up the game; you've made
everybody feel miserable; | feel as if /
had been brute to you, and yet think
you are consummate idiot"
Then they both cried, and the men
said they would go and have q game of
billiards. And later in the evening,
when they came back, they found the
two women as friendly as possible, and
on her way home the one who had
broken up the game said to the men who
formed her escort:
''kate is such dear thing! You know
she has got quick way of speaking, but
| she wouldn't do mean thing to save
her soulr'
And one Of the men said: ''By George
that's beautiful for one woman to say
about another"
And the unluciy card-player an
swered: ''Well, it's true. She speaks
her mind sometimes, but tonight
really think | deserved it."
And every man in the party positively

set down the world-known truth that
| the dearest object in woman's life is
mans approval and admiration-even
| as the dearest boon of man is woman's
| approval and admiration. Perhaps
| men endure men in a more toler
ant and catholic spirit than that
which animates woman in her relations
to women. But having agreed that the
approval and admiration of man as an
institution are the chief felicity o
women. it becomes important for women
| to know how to inspire those senti-
ments IN man. They may prac-
tice all the clever artifice of
coquetry. employ all the appliances
ever devised for adjoining" their
persons, and exercise their womanly
diplomacy to comparatively little pur-
pose if they are feeble in body, languid
III action, and of sluggish blood. In
such case man may pity them, but he
cannot admire them. On the other
hand, the Tomboy, whom most
women recoil from with little
shrieks of horror. becomes the
woman whose pre- sence is de-
light to men; whose joyous health and
babbling spirits and unconquerabte
cheerfulneSs brighten her world to the
farthest horizon. She is not only an iii
spring companion, but q living, breath
ing, glorious incarnation of Gesundheit
"a most beneficent tonic. To look upon
her is to feed the highest beauty of liy
ing, and to be much in her society is to
yield unto her the approval and admlra-
ton that are dearer to the average
xoman than even her powder rag.
When sensible men meet a grown-up
Tomboy and take involuntary note of
her royal mien. her elastic tread, her

air and of beefsteak, they hasten to
lay at her feet their loyal admiration.
They quickly understand that she
is no moaning drone, whose happi-
ness consists in misery, but one
of themselves, so to say, ready to front
the responsibilities of life, with Joy that
she has found the world a theater of ac-
ton. Such woman is mans eXemplar
and prod. In her presence supineness
or whisper would make him ashamed.
In her track will be sound philosophy;
In her thought boldneSs and originality;
in her heart heavens purity, and the
world is better that she lives in it." Let

New YORK. June 25.-When one
takes observance of the throng that fills
all the big shops day IN and day out,
from the very beginning of the new
year until the middle of June. it would
certainly seem as though the collective
woman must sometime come 10 an end
of this, her favorite pastime, if only for
lack of money and strength, to longer
pursue its delights. But somehow there
is always just one thing more that must
be bought, ere she can settle down with
q contented mind to the wearing and
enjoying of all her purchases, and so,
even in the midst of the sultry days,
when it would seem as if none would
care to leave their sylvan retreats, the
trains and boats are full Of shoppers
coming up to the city in search
of that indispensable bit of
finery for which their friv-
olous souls yearn. Many of these at
tire themselves in fresh, crisp dresses of
EephyrS, ,chambrai, or other wash fabrics.
But the SWEETEST of these summer tray
elers are always trinity gowned in tarl-
ton costumes of very lightweight

are scroll shape. Others are shaped
like painters palette. Many have the
large ecclesiastical designs seen upon
some church robes, and all are very
large and very snowy. Many places
are found for these clasps upon
the gown. One. two and even
three may be accommodated upon the
front of the Medici collar. One. two,
three and even m ore are required upon
the front of the waist. A very large
clasp goes with the girdle. Another
faStens the chatelaine to the dress. Two
more are upon either sleeve, and then
there is a chance for clasp at the back
of the waist, at the side Of the skirt
where the drapery comes together or is
caught up, and also upon the top of the
sleeve, catching the high puff in place.
Thus it will be seen that when lovely
woman sets out to adorn herself with
jewels, whether they be stick pins or
breastpins, clasps or bangles, she knows
how to accommodate a great many of
them upon her wardrobe.
