flew open, a fair head popped out, and
timid voice said:
"Thank you"
Then the window shut with bang,
the professor jumped clear over the
fence and disappeared. When he re.
turned from school that afternoon he
found a note on his table. 1t said:

That was all. Day after day the
professor fshed vainly for an oppor.un.

The professor sought consolation in
the society of Jane. With stolen
saucers of milk he enticed the cat
through the fence, and finally up to his
room. There he used to pick the purr.

when You Go to Au.trnll..

A short time ago a leading Scotch
newspaper printed a letter from q COR
respondent who sought for information
and advice in regard to emigrating
to Australia The expectation was
that the inquirer would get some
advice from some Australian reader
of the paper. He did. A man
writing from Sydney offers the follow
ing advice to the eager emigrant:
First, change your mind. Second,
take course of lessons from an acrobat
in lightning changes. We have no
climate, only samples, and we show a
great many in twenty-four hours.
Third, take a life belt Fourth, let
your clothes be mud color. They will
assume this hue very soon, anyhow.
Fifth, take few hogsh eads of carbolio
acid The people have never seen their
way to knock a ten per cent. dividend
out of drainage scheme, hence they
do without one, and ask you: What
do you think of our tramways?" Sixth,
buy a return ticket"-Chicago Herald.

One of this sort appearing among new
ly imported wraps is of figured brown
cloth cut like a deep circular, with a
rounded yoke of velvet covered with
rich passementerie. The collar is in
high Medici shape, the wrap is lined
with dark Pekin stripe, and it is also
designed for theater wear to cover an
elaborate toilet.
Sheath skirts show no signs of fail

tered his garden by the front gate,
having just returned from school His
eyes fell upon Alice, who was n lovely
picture of despair, as she stood gazing
at the ferocious dog and the unhappy
cat The professor was speechless with
admiration. He stared at Alice as he
fore. Then his scattered senses began
to return to him, and he felt the blood
mounting to his forehead, while his
heart was going like a steam fire en-
gine. He gazed about him and finally
perceived the cat, but not the dog.
Can I-shall THAT isl beg par
on-but-but-do you want the cat?"
he stammered.
Eyes, sir; if you-if you-p-p-please,
SIR" was the reply.
The professor advanced slowly and
hesitatingly toward the fence. Sudden
ly he heard n low growL He paused
and looked around; but, seeing nothing,
again advanced.
"ohl" exclaimed Alice; "tale care
there's u h-h-hole IN the fence; he can
get through"
The professor stopped and pcered be-
tween the pickets. Then he saw the
bulldog. The next moment the pro-
fessor had vanished into the house.
"Ah-hv' screamed Alice; please to
come back and save Jane"
She had miscalculated the professors
gallantry. In another moment he re-
appeared bearing in his hand huge
navy revolver.
"Please to go into-the house." he
said, II might hit you"
But Alice remained transfxed with
breathless anticipation. The profes.
sor advanced cautiously toward the
fence. When he had reached posi-
ton from which he could see the dog,
he pointed the pistol carefully, turned
away his head, shut his eyes and pulled
the trigger. There was tremendous
report; splinters flew in every direc-
ton and cloud of smoke obscured
the professors view. The astonished
dog laid back his ears and fed down
the street as if he thought that the
end of the world had come. No soon
er had he gone than Alice rushed for.

pressing the animal convulsively to
her bosom, rushed into the house.
When the professor got the smoke out
of his eyes, and found that girl, cat
and dog had all disappeared, he mar.
veled greatly at the extent of his own
prowess; and had he not caught
glimpse of Alice through the window,
would certainly have gone and sur.

The next day the professor rose early
and robbed his landlady. He stole q
saucer of milk and went out to look
for the gray cat, of course. He found
Jane basking in the sunlight. AS

that could surpass Jane. The professor

THE UPWARD WAY.
The Highways of success Aro Open to
Every One.

Every One.
Action is a necessity with perfect
beings, and progression is a law of God;
SO at first there may be no visible sign
OF genius, no tangible proof of what we
feel that we can do yet persistent daily
effort, with your soul in your work,
will unfold your talent day by day as
the flowers open their leaves to the
sun, and if we grow not weary of pa
tient endeavor we shall see our highest
dreams fulfilled. Aside from the duty
of making the most of the possibilities
which God has planted in us, striving
always to give to them the best part of
ourselves, the return is ample, and
there is no ingratitude from these in
ward promptings AS soon as we have
put our shoulder to the wheel feeling
of love arises in our hearts for our
| work, and it seems to smile back at us
as it grows more shapely and perfect in
our hands. Music, painting, sculpture
are not the only highways of genius
and talent; more homely and useful
ways they often take.
If the woman who has natural apt
ness for dressmaking and the dainty
handling which such calling demands,
instead of getting so tired and wishing
she was not obliged to work, would only
love her work little and try to realize
the fact that she possesses a spark of
genius, her happiest hours would be
those spent in her work-room amid the
tools and trappings of her trade. So it
is with anything we really wish to do.
Some one has said that 'our desires
are presentments of our capabilities
We may each prove this by working
faithfully to accomplish that which
we most desire, and the measure of our
diligence will be the measure of our
success. Boston Budget.
