will be rather lonely trip for her"
"All right III try to play Good Samari-
tan said Mr. Bangs though its a little
out of nv line" Thinking rather ruefully
that it would be a bore to have a country
girl on his hands, and he half hoped she
would be seasick.
1t is a fortunate thing that our thoughts
are absolutely inviolable, or Fanny would
not have given him the trusting smile she
did when he said to her:
I'VE may as well go out on deck. She is
going out of the river now"
This they did, and as they passed one
plainly revealed by the glaring electric
light, raised his hat and shouted:
bon voyagew
They passed slowly on and were soon on
the lake.
Fanny had formed the impression al
most instantaneously-as women usually
do--that her companion was a silent,
modest, diffident sort of little man, and
she resolved to be as lively and pleasant,
and ''stir him up" as much as possible.
So, by way of experiment, she remarked,
as the captain, who was six feet three,
passed:
AZ believe that large men are kinder
hearted than small ones" To this he nat
urally made no reply, and there was
long pause. Then she continued, SEEM
ingiy unconscious of her rudeness: But
! believe small ones are more intellect
ual"
At this he laughed and said: "You are
kind to finish it in that way. l was ex-
pecting to be crushed completely
Wouldn't you like to sit on deck awhile?"
He got a couple of camp-stools and plac-
ing them in comfortable place they were
soon snugly ensconeed. They sat and
talked until II o'clock, and during that
time Fanny's opinion of Mr.. Bangs I'M
derwent slight modification, and was
destined ultimately to change entirely.
She found that he was neither shy, diff
dent, nor particularly modest.
The next morning she was awakened by
the continuous clang of the breakfast bell.
Her old lady was deadly seasick and was
unable to rise and Fanny, after making
her toilette, was compelled to sally forth TO
breakfast alone. To her dismay the table
was full, and as she turned to 60 to the
afterpart of the cabin she met her new
friend. Mr.. Bangs, bound on the same futile
errand.
She felt toward him quite like an old
friend, and smiled as she said: "Good
morning"
"You are too late, and I'm glad you are,
for 1 have to wait for the second table,
too"
'If that's the case I'm glad, too. Sit
here while we wait"
She took the chair he drew forward, and
while they sat he, without Disgusting the

the money, and when August came had
the satisfaction of carrying out a long
cherished p!sn-a trIp up the lakes.
She accordingly set of, and there was
but one drawback TO her pleasurable an
ticipations-she had TO go alone.

marine editor of the Era. met her at the

Mr. Bangs bowed and smiled in aeknowl-

glad to meet any OF Charles friends, and
doubly so for the prospect Of having some
one on board with even such a slight claim

She laughed and said: Indeed

''Shows very tiattering confidence in

to get back to that boat in. She leaves

Fanny took it placidly, and as he was so
alert and had so completely assumed con-
troll, she had faith enough to expect the
adventure to turn out all right. In think
ing it over afterwards she thought 1t
rather rash TO trust a stranger so COM
pletely. He called hanson and they
were soon at the boat, but only just In
time, for they were in the act of pulling in
the plank, and the passengers were hang
over the rail watching them in suspense
or derision as their different tempera-
ments prompted.
The sea became rough, and as they were
seated on the deck Mr.. Bangs remarked,
after critical look at Fanny:
Il think you would better go in" She
declined, but grew paler and of that green
ish hue peculiar to seasick persons.
YOU'D better go now while you can"
and he gathered up her belongings, books
and shawl. and without giving her time to
refuse again led her to her stateroom door,
where she was glad enough to be. But she
felt cross at having to succumb and said
childishly: you want to get rid of me!

So did she after short time.

mot AVAILABLE. "

There was "duIl thud" on the porch,
and Fanny, who was sweeping at the other
end and had not noticed the approach OF
the postman, rapidly gathered up the let
tiers. There were two or three of the Or
binary size and thick one in a brownish-
yellow envelope. When her eyes rested
on this they grew suspiciously moist, and
she walked slowly into the house without
even glancing at the others in her hand.
She knew too well when "thick one"
came it was a manuscript returned.
She was schoolteacher, broken in
health from overwork, who had, at the
stern command of her doctor. laid down
the fgurative birch and taken up the
broom to give her overtaxed nervous sys-
TEN time to recuperate. And in an evil
moment she had taken to writing
stories of more or less merit. As
one or two had been accepted
and paid for, she thought this wo2ld be
an agreeable way to earn the little spend
ing money she needed in her present quiet
life; for after having once earned her own
money she found it hard to ask her father
for it, however willing he might be to give
it when he had it, which was not often.
But she found her new venture very I'M
certain and discouraging.
AS she stood in front of the crate and
tore open the fatal envelope she took from
much folding. and the accompanying
printed slip of fallacious and elaborate
thanks, signed in a small, cramped hand,
"Jno. W. Banks, Edit" But the thanks
seemingly gave her little consolation; for
on the last page of the story was large
red Not available" stamped.
She pulled off her sweeping gloves, tore
up the printed slip, threw the fragments
in the fire, shifted a little, and murmured
as she contemplated the ruin of her manu-
script:
Hateful thing! When I asked him to
fold it another way, too. 1t is so much
trouble to copy it when I'm ill. But now
it's hopelessly spoiled. But maybe I can
iron 1t out smooth again and copy the last
page" and she eyed it ruefully and con-
tinued:
II would just like to have the opportunity
to pay him back My best story, tool l
would just like to know what does guide
them in their selection, or rejection,
rather. for they don't seem to select much
OF mine. It's perversity. I'm surel" and
with this she turned to her sweeping,
which was very thorough. that morning,
judging from the way the dust flew.
The story in question was a seemingly
impossible chain of circumstances which
had actually taken place in country
neighborhood. The facts had been fur
nished her by lawyer friend and Fanny
had utilized them under the fetching title
of The Fatal Flaw; or, Casper's Vindica-
ton" 1t evidently had not struck the
editor in favorable light, for here it was
back again!
This failure did not discourage her en-
tirely, but made her timid, and she did not
send "Jno. w. Banks, Edit" any more of
her stuff TO edit for the Citizens Syndicate:
and always thought of him thereafter as a
malicious creature. She became regular
contributor to the Ladies Home Circle.

vISHTASPA.

For thirty years yishtaspa reigned alone.
No king above him in the empty skies,
No Loru OF all earth's fallen sovereignties
To mock the mighty tedium OF his throne.
To him the secrets of the stars were known
Who was above all sages great and wise;
Yet as the years dragged on without sur
prise
He weariedrof this world that was his own.
Earth is TOO narrow for the dreaming soul,
Aye, tho she hold it all from pole to pole
Her least desire is wider than the whole.
Therefore, who knows the limit of his power
Disdains the trivial baubles of an hour.
And pl1nges where the seas of silence roll.
Life is n dream" vishtaspa said, wherein
The dreamer lives alone. the rest is vain.
My dream shall end, for ! would sleep
again"
He went his palace terraces to win,
Farewell" he said, glitter and glare and
dir;
Farewell, cast me TO the quiet plain"
But. as be would nave leapt, a voice spoke

First-That in the first section OF
said motion it is charged that prior 10

ceivership was drawn from the funds
of said receivership for a campaign
Iund TO be used In Bexar county IT.

Said motion does not state by whom
said money vas drawn, or to whom
paid, so that tais receiver can prop
erly answer said motion.
oeeond-Secause End, and 3rd para
graphs of said motion are vague, in
definite and uncertain, as 20 tn.
charges therein made, and are no,
sufficient to put this receiver upon
notice as to what he is to answer.
Third-Because il appears from the
fourth paragraph of said motion, that
it is the desire OF the applicants there
in not to have an impartial and fsir
investigation of the books, papers
vouchers, records, etc. of SAID re
Ownership, and request s this court to
enter an order directing all officers
and employees Of said receivership to
permit experts, selected by the
makers of said motion, to make an
examination of such books, vouchers,
papers, records, reports, accounts.
etc 4, If in the opinion Of the court.
upon q proper showing such al ex
aminati. n lie deemed nee :sary that
such an examination should be made
10y Especial auditor, to be appointed by
the court, who alone should have the
right to inspect and examine such &C
counts, btoks,. papers, records, etc :,
and report 20 the court the condition
there Of.
FouTth-Said receiver further ex.
cepts TO said motion, because the same
is not sworn to nor does it appear
therefrOm WHO composts the so sty led

That the said so called reorganization

formed 3 conspiracy tor the purpose OF
securing the removal of this receiver
that 70 that end they have preferred
unfounded charges of official miscon-
duct against the receiver, knowing
at the time they were false and un-
founded, that n of said charges, SO
| preferred, have been sworn to or the
truth thereof vOuched for by any re.
spoDsible person; that unless the said
! co~nspiratoIs are required to verify
their said charges, they will. in pur.
uan OF their said design, continue
