was about the door which led to the
girls corridor.
An "Oh!" OF delicious surprise came
sheeted forms filed in.
The orchestra struck upa march
and Tufts almost instantly took unto
himself partner.
Whitney prepared to do likewise.
But, simultaneous with Whitney, a
man, not a student and apparently a
stranger, seizeda shapely hand which
hung from a gracefully shaped sleeve.
81 beg your pardon replied the
stranger, with considerable feeling.
10 this Whitney impatientiy re-
torted:
excuse me, sir. but ] have this
lady, and mean to keep her
"1ou mean to keep her, do you?
Do you know who she is? This wo-
man is my wife, you puppy"
"Ohn' groaned several, while the
sheeted form shrank toward Whitney.
One tall form pushed its way
through the crowd to hear the
stranger declare:
lhlS woman is my Wl1e."
Horror-stricken, she cast a swift,
sharp glance at the stranger, uttered a
wild shrek. and would have fallen to
the floor had she not been supported
by one OF the professors.
She had tainted and was conducted
from the room.
Miss Southwick has fainted,' cried
several.
Then the figure which the stranger
claimed as that OF his wife, removed
the mask, revealing the dark, snappy
eyes Of Miss Walcott.
The stranger looked dumfounded,
then gasped: IL
cit isn't her!" ..-.-
The principal, addressing the strang-
err, demanded sharply: "Who areycu,
sir, and what doyou mean by causing
such a disturbances"
Leander, for the stranger was So
phronia's husband, swiftly reasoning
that an expose might cause Sophro-
MASS expulsion from the seminary,
faltered:
II am very sorry, sir. I didn' t mean
what said. an"
He did not finish the sentence In
stead he fled from the room precipi-
tOusly.

CHAPTER Nv.

On the following day Sophronia
was missed from her seat at table.
She was suffering from mental
rather than from physical distress.
Until now she had never experienced
the pangs OF jealousy. At TIE same
time the horrible suspicion possessed
her that Leander was a bigamist.

Nov I know why he didn't want
me to come here. | shall tell that
Miss Walcott just what l think OF
her.
Sophronia finally concluded, how
ever, to take her departure from the
seminary without creating a scene.
She went directly to the railway
station.
While she was purchasing a ticket
she felt q hand upon her shoulder,
and, turning, beheld Leander.
"You here!"
His CONSERVATION was no less than
hers, and he also said:
"You here"
ooh, how could you, Leander?''
Evidently she was prepared for a
confession from her spouse.
Imagine her establishment, there
tore, when instead of making a con-
fession he began to load her with re-
proaches.

so crazy to 60 to boarding school. |

natural-born fiirt. Think how must

"Oh, Leander, l am not to blame.

ooh, that's a pretty way to get out
Of it! You pretended you wasn't
married." .-...
"For PHYS sake talk grammar. ii
you can't sense" said Sophrona, re-
sentfully, at the same time drying her
eyes and glaring at him contemptu-
ously.
"Never mind the grammar. How
about them fellows?"
"Never mind those fellows. How
about your other wife?'

is Miss Walcott?"
II know and you know who she u.s.
replied Sophronia, "but for pity
sake don't make SO much noise The
whole town will hear us, and want
to get out OF this place and never set
my foot in it again" ..
"You don't want to get out OF it
any more than do Here's the train
now" he added, as the shrill whistle
OF the locomotive was heard in the
distance.
When the train stopped Leander
took IL seat IN the smoker, and Soph,
roma entered the rear car.
Thus they proceeded on their way
toward Northrop.
They had not made many miles
when Sophronia gladly would have
joined her husband, but to go in to
the smoker was, Of course, out OF the
question.
1t was with a feeling akin to Joy,
therefore, that she beheld him return
to her side
Yet she did not greet him with any
protestations of affection, for the
spirit OF Miss Walcott was still hover
ing near.
81 don't see how any one could be
as mean as you have been," was her
greeting.
"What ails your" he asked. "Have
you got another fit OF Miss-what S

Southwich. That was a mistake OF

SUSPENSE.

The sky and the sea, like two nuns,
Wear lnantles of gray,
And like black cloth seems the masts
And The yards of a ship far away.
Is it coming, coming to me,
This heavy black cross?
Shall the hopes and joys Of my life
Suffer pititul shipwreck and loss?
The ship, like bird on the wing
Seems only to stay.
Alas! 1t is coming-it tacks.
Oh, thank God! 1t is sailing away.

HIS WIFE'S EDUCATION.
BY EDUARDINE BAILEY.
CHAPTER L.

Leander Southwick had been mar
ried scarcely a year when by the death
of an uncle in Nevada he fell heir to
an estate worth S45O,OOO.
The Inheritance was SO unexpected
chat for some time it was difficult to
believe that he, an humble grocer,
was the possessor Of a fortune greater
even than that OF his boyhood
dreams.
''Four hundred and fifty thousand
dollars! What'll we do with all that
money!" he said to his wife.
Sophronia Southwick, equal to any
emergency, from weighing a Goldfish to
making up the monthly accounts,
was never at loss for an idea.
1--WE must 60 into society,"" she
promptly replied.
"SocietyW shouted Leander. "What
do we know about society?'
"Now, Leander, it's ridiculous for
you to speak in that strain. You
know that none Of these rich New
Workers, and I believe there are
four hundred of them, knew any more
about society than we do
But they had some education,
hadn't they?"
Yes; but can't we get education as
well as they?"
How do you propose to get it?"
Ipropose to go to one OF those SEM
Inares.'

husband. "Why, you're too old"
100 Old, Leander! Why, I'm not
IS; and you told me this morning I
didn't look more that 49,"
Southwick, Of course. saw the alb
surtity of his wifes position; but, re-
alizing it was useless to try to dis
suade her, relaxed his efforts and
finally acquiesced in her decision.

"Have you asked her YETI"
'No thought I'd better wait till
che came up"
"But suppose Fairbanks has asked
her?"
ooh, 1 don't believe he's got the
nerve. Besides, Miss SouthWick
doesn't care for him, anyway"
This dialogue between Clarence Whit
ney and Chef Tufts took place near
the platform OF the concert hall in
Stanford Seminary.
About twenty other boy students
were present, and by and by, as the
orchestra began to "tune up" the
townspeople locked in.

A Plant Growing From a Caterpillar

The curious fungus which is some
times taken from an insect is fungus
that roots itself in caterpillar and
grows from it, feeding on the body OF
the insect. Ofcourse in time the in
sect dies, and the fungus then perishes
as soon as it has exhausted the nutr-
ment in the body Of the caterpillar.
The plant is OF the same nature OF p
mushroom, and when it natures
it produces pores by which
new plants are propagated in the
same way, attaching themselves to
any insect that comes in contact with
them in the soil. Those curious plants
are used as medicine by the natives OF
some parts of Asia, where they were
found quite abund antly. The plant,
when dug out OF the ground, has the
exhausted and dried body OF the in
sect ATTACHED to it in the manner of
a root, but it is easily distinguished
by it's shape. The insect is filled with
the substance OF the fungus, and APP
pears as a part OF the plant. A varie-
ETY. of beetle that is found in North
America is attacked by the same kind
OF fungus; others are found in Central
America, and others in New Zealand.
In the last-mentionedc country the fun
gus is very large and has all the APP
pearance OF amushroom which is eaten
as food by the natives.

Fairbanks OUT
The speakers were two seniors Of
Stanford Seminary at Ephesus,,N. H.
Stamford is boarding scho for both
sexes, and takes high rank among CO.
educational institutions.
But strange as it may appear, its
more than local renown is derived
from it's Observation-Disclosures parties.
At these parties the young ladies
are masked; their forms are draped
with sheets arranged in Greek fashion
and their heads are enveloped in pill
loWcaseS.
What makes the parties especially
enjoyable is that they are not prevl-
ousIy announced. For not until the
sheeted forms, like troop Of ghosts,
file into the concert hall ure the young
men aware that the monthly recep-
ton has been varied.
The presence OF a new girl adds q
bit OF sensation to a Stanford recep-
tion. 1t was q ''new girp' Of whom
the two seniors were speaking.
She was tall and slender, of graceful
figure and of fair complexion. Her
blue eyes spanked under long lashes
and a perfect Roman nose gave her
an air OF superior intelligence.
Her mouth was shapely, if not
small, and was capable Of the sweet
est smile, although its general express
sion was one OF mischief.
Such was the Sophronia Southwick
of Stanford-a decided improvement
on the Sophronia Southwick Of rural
Northrop.
BY an inadvertance on the part OF
the secretary, coupled with Sophro-
MIA s love OF mystery, she had been
registered as Miss instead of Mrs.
Southwick.

TAUGHT His DOG TO STEAL.
A Philadelphia Youth and His Intel
llgent "Pal,'

Philadelphia Youth and His Intel
llgent PAL
There are many unauthenticated
instances Of animal intelligence and
depravity. The following story is
from the Philadelphia Record, and is
as near authentic as such a story
well can be:
"Magistrate Hackett recently held
Charles Blaney, Port Richmond, in
$500 bail for a further hearing on the
charge OF being the owner OF a dog
which he has taught to steal. The
other day while some boys were
skating on a pond near the Aramin-
go Canal, Blaney came along in
wagon, stopped in the middle of the
bridge and liberated a large black
dog. The dog dashed down among
the children and seized a. bag contain
ing o pair OF rubber shoes belonging
to Jerry Kelly and started toward
his master. Officer Holland saw the
trouble and arrested Blaney."

Perished In the Snow.

Joe Klien, son of Jacob Klien, the
Carson brewer. is believed to have
frozen to death in mountains about
three weeks ago. Young K!ien and
another man left Placerville to walk
to Carson. Nothing has been heard
of them since, and it is believed they
persisted in the snow. Mr.. Klien
offered reward of 5000 for the re-
covery of the lost men, and search
ing party who went out have return
ed, and following is their report, con
tanned in Carson dispatch:
Carson, Dec. 30 Yesterday and
last night snow fell in the valleys to
a depth of one foot, and from 8 to 20
feet is piled up in the mountains. The
searchers for the lost men have re-
turned. The snow, with the fresh de-
post, is almost too soft for snow
shoes, and it is hardly possible with
this great depth that the bodies can
be discovered, and it may be neces-
sary, if the snow continues to fall, to
wait till next spring. All available
means in reach of the woodmen have
been utilized in the search, but with
out good results.
