The key is so constructed that the

pressed, u very fine needle is driven
with considerable force from the other

Gently.
The elder Milward had had his
nephcw's wife picked out for him for
ycars. He had noted the late symp-
toms that the young mans head was
being turned in quite another direction.
So he seized every opportunity TO decry
that little snub-nosed thing with red
cheeks"-MariAn.

smoke with me. I'm sick OF Langley.

Jerry strobe away, and after some
time rcappeared with the fresh hearth

him.

Marian and he seated her at the table
for a game of chess, forgetting al
about his uncle's invitation TO smoke.
Milwnrd watched them gloweringly
through the window as they played
'She's the most dangerous little minS
of all" he said to himself, ''and | know
il was she who made the greatest row
about the mouse"
The next afternoon was bright
enough for all the young people TO be
off. But somehow they hung about
that side veranda where Milward and
Langley were accustomed to hob-not
in peace.
Presently n lout of n boy cam,

A Nefarious Trade That Has Injured I.e-

1t Is estimated that ut least three
fourths Of the paintings sold as pie
lures of the ''old masters" are modern
forgeries, and not even ''old copies Of
| the originals" NJ. Courbet, the Pari-
sian artist. who made himself notorious
by attempting TO destroy the Napoleon
column In the Place Nendome, was one
of the chief criminals in regard 10 these
forgerics. Having taken refuge in
Geneva, he there established u manu-
factory for turning out classical pic
lures by famous masters. by skillful
manipulations the appearance of anti
guilty was given to the modern works.
In the Architect u correspondent re-
Gently communicated some strange in
formation about Courbet's workshops.
After his death his establishment was
broken up, but several artists employed
by him have continued the business.
The demand for pictures is SO great
from American as well rs European
wealthy purchasers, that IL is TO be
feared that picture-dealers not unfre-

time this nefarious trade was often eX-

they sat.
Within the parlors, from which the
long French windows opened, could be
heard the gay chatter Of girls voices.
Presently there was u universal
shrek from that quarter as II IN
thing dire had happened.
Mr.. Milward, the one with the crutch
and cane, grasped them excitedly and
sprang to his feet
''What now?" he exclaimed, what
now?"
MIR. Langley, his companion, a spare,
uimble little man, rushed inside with
out delay.
The confusion of voices continued
'Where did IL go?" Look out, Mari
am "oh! Betty, do ring the BELL" and
like ordinations.
Mr.. Langley's entrance brought out
n shrill chorus:
"oh! Mr.. Langley, it raj right out
from that corner and"
what d~id-what?"
"Why, the mouse!'
'oh! fddle-de-de, I thought il was a
scorpion or u wildcat"
BY this time Mr.. Milward's had
hobbled into the midst of the group
with an anxious face.
What is It, Langley" he asked.
1.-THE woman's traditional mouse"
laughed Langley. Next to the man
under the bed. nothing is so certain TO
make her scream"
Bah" calculated Milward with dis
gust. what a set of ninnies. There's
no simpleton like a nervous woman
and he went growing and hobbling
back TO his chair.
Langley was gallant enough to be
amused. but Milward was choleric and
.contemptuous.

himself, 'if my nephew eve marries q

gave three or -four ludicrous, quaverinl

The tumult in the parlor had sub

every word Of this outburst.
Betty slyly nudged Marian. "A nic'

Marian blushed and tossed her head

Easily, and why? Because the displacement Of
