Mr.. Dilkes was silent. He tipped
his feet against an uneven brick in the
hearth and stared at the fire.
Kathleen came closer to him.
"Uncle," said she, "can't have a
Twelfth-Night party?'
"Nonsense!' growlcd the old man

Kathleen. I'D make all the cake

Mr.. Dilkes rose suddenly to his

"No.' said he, "you can't! And
there's an end of It'll"
Kathleen said no more. She was
used to her uncle's moods. and knew
that there was no use in striving
against them.
But half that wild, stormy winter
night she sobbed silently on her pill
low and rebellcd against fate.
Early in the gray, frozen daybreak
Mr.. Dilkes rose, ate the hot breakfast
of sausages and coffee and fried po-
tatoes that Kathleen had ready for
him, and started off for Cone City in
his red cutter, snugly lined with buff
falo robes and packed close with the
produce of his farm.
He had scarcely been gone an hour,
when an unexpected guset arrived at
the house-Miss Dorothy Purple-a
friend of Katlleen's dead mother and
distant cousin of herself.
ooh, Miss Dorothyw cried the
girl.
And to her faithful bosom she con.
fided all her troubles.
1t was so nice to have some one to
talk to!
'But this won't do" said Miss Dor
othy Purple, viewing the well-shod
toes of her pretty feet as she warmed
them at the fire. "You cant be Shut

Kathleen looked on astounded.
Black Jack nearly dropped his tiddie-
bow. But the old man was fieetest
and nimblest of the lot, and when at
last the music stopped. he turned IN
front Of the big fireplace and faced
them all
"Friends," he cried, breathlessly,

The Tweftll-Night party was a
brilliant success. The ice cream was
a surprise; the snow-mountain of a
c,ke developed series of the most
astonishing effects; the notices made
no end of fun, and the dancing held
out until long after midnight.
Suddenly in the midst of wild
Virginia reel, the door opened. Mr..
Dilkes stood there, fur capped and
collared, like Santa Claus in a
tableau.
Black Jack sawed the fiddle strings
with his bow. Little Dick pulled his
cheeks out over the clarionet like one
of Rlphaers chcrub.; the dancers
flew by, and only Miss Purple saw the
snow-strewn vision.
She closed the hall door, and met

a quack named Amano Sukyemon,
residing at Iwaicho, Nagoya, Japan,

which was used for medicinal pur-

had bear in cage with which to
attract custom. The bear, becoming
alarmed at the confusion consequent
on the recent earthquake, broke out
of his cage, and in spite of the efforts
of the quack to pacify him, ran
through the streets, killing and wound

An old woman who did not notice his
approach was also severely bitten.
The bear was finally killed with spears.
