THE IRONY OF FATE.

She was romantic. Her father was
a millionaire, whose life had been de-
voted to sausage making. He was
practical, naturally, but all poetry of
her family was centered in her. She
was beloved by another milEonaire's
son, but she had been reading romance
and stuff, when he proposed SO her
she declared he must do something
poetical for her, says It'd Bits.

elope and get married, and when it is
all over We'll tell him, and it will be

And SO he became poor artist, and
took poor studio and daubed on can
vas and pretended to paint pictures.
And there was another milliOnaire's
daughter got to coming to the studio
and sitting for her picture. In those
delightful tete tetes, he forgot all
about the romantic maiden, and when
the romantic maiden came one night
in peasant costume as sweet surprise
to run away with him she found he
was married to the other girl and had
gone off on his honeymoon. She
thinks that romances are all lies now,
and that nothing happens in real life
as it happens in books.

Why Patti Has Sung the Simple Melody

Why Patti Has Sung tho Simple MELODY
for Twenty Years.
The oft-repested criticism on Mme.
PATHS singing the inevitable" Home,
Sweet Home" Is stoutly resented by
the great artist Nine. Patti declares
that she would not sing ono song for
twenty years II the public did not de-
mand II. She says:
~ learned the song years ago and
never dreamed that ! would have TO
sing II for years and years, but, after
had once sung II, nowhere could ap-
pear but the public demanded Il, par
ticularly here In America. have tried
again and again 10 substitute other
songs, and Il Is absurd 10 suppose that
haven't songs enough in my repertory
to give an evenings entertainment
without Home, Sweet Home But
every time have heard people all over
the house demand the old-time melody.
Why should not try TO please my pub

II only once did not hear the thunder
Of applause whenever the first notes Of
the introduction are heard. OF course,

singer who was not encouraged and
borne on the very wings Of triumph
and ecstacy by hearing great applause.
81 also confess that like TO sing 1t,
and never grow tired Of the words or
the simple melody. Often on the spur
of the moment / would like TO add q
touch here or there, but refrain, know
ing that Just its simplicity is what
touches an audience, and am not
above saying that II always touches me.
] am sure everyone will do me this jus
tice after due consideration. ! have
sung many numbers In many pro-
grammes, have given numerous songs
Of all styles and all descriptions, and, |
may add without egotism, with great
success; therefore feel that am do
ing Just the right thing when I give tho
public Just what II wants"

CHAPIER VII.
rANGLING THE sKEIN.

The musicale had broken up early,
and the Gilmor Gray mansion was
tightly closed. Not one light shone
from its tall, brown front, and the very
servants quarters were dark and still,
as the clock Of the church hard by
changed out twice upon the night.
Bessie Westchester had soon left her
hidden guest, to mingle brightly again
with those below; but never had the
cordial hospitality of that fair maiden
of her whole household, in fact-really
found so ''sweet" that proverbially
much-slandered "old word, good-byl"
Necessary sequel@ of feast properly
looked to, though in unusual haste for
a notable housekeeper, Mrs. Gray had
dismissed her willing servants to rest;
and, little later, her husband had
quietly locked the door leading from
their wing to the family section of the
dwelling.
81 may disappoint some colored lodge,
for once" he had remarked to his wife,
as he pocketed the key; ''but tonight
even our own eyes and ears are danger
GUS to trust TO-"
And now Bessie Westchester, her be-
coming ball-dress changed for a loose,
but equally becoming wrapper, again
nestled on the floor, close TO Carolyn
Clay, who waited, calm and resolute, as
the minutes sped on with feet that
seemed leaden-shod to her anxious sus-
pense. And below, her mother and
sister moved noiselessly about tho
pantry, packing, as 'compactly as deft
hands might, an ample luncheon into
the fiat tin'case
'She will probably get wet, poor
child" the matron said, removing q
layer Of thin sandwiches to wedge in
slices OF fruit cake. "The tin Is the
safest; but, dear mo. how little II

bachelor club man, 'you must expect
her TO realize that green colonel's or

the wife retorted, her wanting logic
condoned by deep sigh. Just think
Of your poor brother Llowndes, Gilmor,

1T is good for his liver, my dear" +"
Mr.. Gray replied, with lightness be-
lied by his eyes. ''My brother Llowndes
has so far in his life eaten pate and ter
rapin enough to bring camp-fare for the
next ten years up to pretty luxurious
average"
But away up in the attic hiding-place
no badinage was spoken. Carolyn Clay
had several times gone over the details
of her perilous trip across. Each time
she had spoken with naive freedom Of
her fears, her suspense and her Joy at
rescue-all without reserve. But one
thing she had never told-approaching

A traveller returning from the interior
Of Australia says: 81 penetrated the In
terror for two hundred or three hun
dred miles and saw the country strewn
with carcasses Of sheep. The grass had all
dried up like paper, the wator was all
gone, and great droves Of sheep had lit

conception of the desolation Of the land

conscience would argue, not without a
quibble, that 1t was SO unnecessary
that it could but disgrace his name for
those true ones who bore it so we'll
that this one exposure could do no good.
So the girl = reassuring herself, in
woman's way, that no lingering thought
of his past, no pity for herself, mixed
with the resolve-accepted her wish as
her duty, and was silent. And Bessie
Westchester had accepted as true her
own brain-built little romance that the
self-sacrifce and grave peril had been
incurred by some federal officer for sake
of her friends helplessness in danger
perhaps, she told herself, for sake Of her
fair face.
And now the dark eyes Of the listener
stood wide, and her gentle bosom heaved
rapidly under the loose folds of the
wrapper, as she heard the twice-told
tale. for the last time, MS she believed
followed the night escape through the
driving snow, welcomed the slow-coming
dawn, and thrilled at the first sight Of
Rosser's advance.
What a noble, selhess herol" the
younger girl cried, after a long-drawn
sigh Of relief. "And not even to know
his name Iwould have had more curl
osity, even then. But he must be gen.
tleman, Caro-! Base blood would never
have risked so much-been so tender
and trewe'-even for your eyesl"
Miss Clay's eyes were studying the
pictures in the fire. A half sigh trem-
bled to her lips; but she stihed It as she
answered, sadly:
"He was gentleman - before he
Joined Virginia's enemies"
But, Caro-, they were not his enc
mics"
"No, seemingly not; only Virginia'S,"
the other answered, with sudden fierce
ness.
But 1t is odd he never told you his
name. 1t would have taken but an in
stant; and II you two ever meet
again"
God forbid thatl" Carolyn Clay rose
TO her feet, towering taller in the flick

upon his face again!'
"How uncompromising you are" her
friend persisted. "Yet you owe him SO
deep debt-your life, perhaps"
Eyes; owe him that-God help mel''
She turned away abruptly, as deep
surge Of color swept her pale face.

her face. "And, Bess, when told Col.

MY SWEETHEART.


Precious are these diInplod hands
Just pair Of dimpled hands,
Busy hands not always clean; ret
Little hands whose soft caress W

I shall ever, ever know;
Obi love them, love them so,
Though they've been In mischief deep
Though In muddiest distress,
Though in soft repose thoy sleep
Precious are these dimpled hands.
just pair Of cunning feet,
Pinley toes love TO kiss.
Restless feet that ne'er are still,
Truant feet often miss r.
Yet their music is to me,
Though in naughtiness they be,
Sweetest melody know:
And with pride my heart they thrill
AS they patter TO and fro
Wandering, blessed little feet
Just pair Of laughing eyes,
Roguish eyes one can't reprove,
Eyes that spy forbidden things,
Eyes that speak the truest love.
o, how bright and gay they seem
Waking from some fairy dream,
How hope they'll never view
Aught that grief or sorrow brings
They're my jewels, sparkling blue
Happy smiling darling eyes.
Just mass OF golden curls,
Shining curls the sunshine kissed
In their tangles have lost
Love that hayo never missed:
For they've spun o net Of gold
AL my willing love to hold.
All. ] hope the hand Of care
And the touch Of troubles frost
May forever gently spare
All these lovely treasured curlA
Just q winsome little girl
just blessing love has brought,
Brought to cheer fathers heart
Dearest love, you little thought
How another world you'd make,
What I'd do for her sweet salIel
But each day she grows more dear
AS she plays her infant part
She's our brightest star, that's cleas,
Fondly cherished little girl
