CHAPTER ".


Miss Farwell went to her'room that
night in very subdued mood. Lieut..
Carleton had walked home with her,
and on the way question had been
asked and answered very conclusively
to the two persons concerned, although
the uniuitiated might not have been
any the wiser from listening to the con-
versation. 1t was with feeling that
life was, somehow, going altogether
wrong that she laid her head on the
pillow. She had put aside the love of
one man and quarreled with another to
whom she owed her life, and the world
seemed to be full of cross purposes.
The last evening of her visit at the
garrison came. as all things do which
are governed by Father Time. There
had been a grand farewell ball given in
her honor the night before and she had
been the reigning belle and had had the
satisfaction of hearing that the lady
who had so freely discussed the state of
| her affections at that first garrison ball
was stigmatizing her at this last one as
heartlcss flirt and warning some of
her confidential masculine friends not
| to be ''taSen in"
AS she sat with her aunt before the
|
| thinking soberly over some of the
events of the summer, it seemed to her
that she had been trying ever since
that first ball to give people that i'm
preston of her and she grew hot as she
thought how she had let the opinion OF
q person for whom she did not care
influence her.
Her aunt put an end to her musings
Y H..
are thinking off,
Tell me what you were thinking OF
first, aunty," May answered,
Mrs. Farwel leaned her head back
against her chair and laughed.
81 believe will; it will do me gooc
to confess" she said; but first, May
tell me, do appear to you to be a born
matchmaker"
"Why aunty, you horrify me! Yor
may have your faults but that you are
one of those wicked persons I neve
will believe"
THANK you, May, you only make IN!
confession harder to make. Charlie
has always accused me of being one ant
although 1 have never owned it to him
r have had doubts of my innocenc
o myself. 1 never see two people VIII
seem especially suited to each other bu
what long to help them along little
, | And May, when I first saw you an
Capt. Armstrong together, it seemed t
me that you were just born for eac
other and did all that 1 dared to hel
you to realize it. 1t seemed to me tina
y everything was going swimmingly fo
awhile, and every time saw you tw
1 felt like saying: Bless you my chi
. dren.' But alas for the vanity of sue
; matrimonial hopes, you developed int
the most commonplace of friends an
have just hidden each other good-b
without the least trace of sentimen
and tomorrow morning you start fc
the east and he leads company ava
Ono one knows where, to look afte
the troublesome Apaches."
All but Mays eyes was covered by
fan which she was holding to scree
her face from the fire, but her voic
came gayly from behind it:
"You shock me, Aunt Hannah.
wouldn't believe from any lips tina
yours that you could have exposed m
heart to the wounds which such ga
Hecetver might b. inflicted upon 1t,
I1had mot been warred IN time"

GRAFTON, w. Va, Dec. Josiah
Carpenter, the oldest inhabitant OF
West Virginia, is dead at his residence
in Preston County. Estimates OF
Carpenters age vary, but none placed
him under 100 years. He claimed to
have been born in Louden County, Vir-
ginia, in 1882. and is, therefore, 159
years old. He claimed to remem Der
Braddock's defeat and to have served as
teamster at that time. Carpenter had
son who died ten years ago at the ag q
of 80. Until recently his health has
been fairly good. He has one daughteR
still living over 80.

West 63d street, yesterday. The woman
went to the cellar of the house for the

drearlly: "She had rather owe her life
to anyone else in tho regiment"
Her indignation restored her self
possession, and she replied, as quietly
as he had done:
That may be, but there is subject
that must not be postponed to an indefi-
mite hereafter, and that is the loss of
your beautiful horse. If you will not
allow uncle to be my agent in the mat
ter, papa will feel under the necessity
of coming out here"
The captain rose and looked down at
her moment with a quicl1ly-changing
face.
Miss Farwell," he said, and she
started at the change in his voice; ''it
you feel that you owe me any gratitude,
please cancel it now and forever by
agreeing never to mention that subject
again. Then he added with a return
to his quiet manner: you had nothing
to do with the loss of the horse; it was
it's own viciousncss that brought it to
an untimely end"
He turned abruptly and left the room
and they had no more tete-a-tetcs that
evening.

H..ddr....s Of Ribbon and Lace.

The old fashioned headdresses of ribbon,
lace and flowers, which were abandoned
many years ago, are coming to the fore
again in the new theatre and concert
coiffures One of these is wreath OF
roses without foliage, with an aigrette at
the front. Another consists of q bias band
of velvet with gold lace attached to 1t, the
ends of the velvet being knotted at the
back. Still another is a tiny cap of gold
embroidery surrounded by twist OF vel
vet, gauze or plush. Two rolls Of filets OF
black gauze covered with gold embroidery,
placed one above the other, ornamented
with jeweled pins or a feather algrette,
form a sort of crownless turban.
Pretty light coiffures are made OF SIX
tulle trimmed with small feathers. For
those who do not shrink from oddities
there is japanese roof shaped little head
dress of open gold passementerie; these
and the fillet bonnets both leave the hair
TO show in curls or twists. As TO the hair
itself universal tolerance prevails. 1t may
be worn low a la Grecque, or very high, II
that is most becoming. All varieties at
once can be seen at any reception, and even
some-few, it must be admitted-wltn
