in his arms. Her head fell back against his shoulder. The woman was unconscious.
 The situation was delicious to Will. This beauty now laid in his arms; what more could he want? A move of his head-his face would touch hers, his lips meet hers. A beautiful neck be- witchingly gleamed out of its corsage. The gods had teen good to him. He would no longer put aside the joys they cast in his way.
 Will bent his head over the woman to kiss her! He felt strange, strong love for the woman glow within him. The kiss was ungiven, the bent head was held fixed in thought He was a wretch to take advantage of a woman to steal of an unconscious woman what he had not yet dared to take from her when conscious: to covet a heart to break it, when he was unfit to pos sess that which he coveted With these thoughts there came to his sense the

touched to lips that had never been false. He smelt again the odor of the jasmine He stepped back. Maud opened her eyes
 ''Gracious, but you are beautiful beautiful as jasmine!" Will uttered.
 A silvery laugh was Maud's answer
 Will could not bring himself to relin- quish the prize he coveted, so he fingered around Maud.
 It was night in June that Maud made good promise to be his partner at a german. Maud had felt indisposed that and the previous day. She was a beautiful dancer. The evening was passing happily away. Just previous to the serving of refreshments, Will, mo- ticing that Maud had grown quite pale, sought her side. She turned to him, saying:
 ''The heat is oppressive; take me out on the piazza"
 A light wrap was thrown over her shoulders. and Will led her out In a secluded corner they seated themselves. As Maud sank down, Will saw her grow faint and fall. He caught her

TEACHER AND PUPIL.
The Frank Speech of Repentant Scotch
 Professor.

The Frank Speech of Repentant Scotch
 Professor.
 A well-known Scotch professor was noted for his hot temper and vehement candor, as we'll as for his profound scholarship.
 At the opening of college term the boys observed that he was unusually irritable and harsh. The applicants for admission ranged themselves for examination in a line below his desk.
 ''Show your papers!' he ordered.
 One lad held his paper up awkwardly in his left hand.
 Hold it up properly, sir. in your right hand!" commanded the master.
 The new pupil muttered something, but kept his left hand raised.
 ''The right hand, ye loonr' thundered the professor.
 The boy. growing very pale, lifted his right arm. It was a burned stump. The hand was gone.
 The boys burst into indignant misses, but the professor had leaped down from the platform and had thrown his arm about the boys shoulders.
 ''Eh, laddie, forgive mel" he cried, breaking into broad Scotch, as he al- ways did when greatly excited. 1T didna ken. But" turning to the class, with smimming eyes: II thank God He has given me gentlemen to teach-who can ca me to account when l go astray."
 After that day" wrote one of the boys, years afterward, ''every man there was his firm friend and liegeman. He had won us all by that one frank speech.
 The change which fifty years has made in the relation between teacher and taught has been very great The boy of the last century looked up to his master with the fear of the wait ing lash, below all other emotions or motives.
 The best teacher of to-day is we'll de- scribed in the words of great German educator. as one ''who takes the posi- tion of an older kinsman to his pupils; climbing the same ladder as they. but little higher up."
 But the boy who trusts his teacher as the truest of gentlemen is learning from him something better than Latin and Greek.-Youth's Companion.

fragrance of clusters of jasmine in her corsage.
 A few moments later the moisture of her dampened handkerchief on her face aroused Maud. She lifted her head from the back of chair where it had been gently laid With shiver, she drew the wrap that now enveloped her closer, saying:
 'I feel better now"
 Shall l take you home?" Will asked.
 Yes she murmured. Home Will took Maud
 Will is almost a forgotten memory in the life of Maud-a faint, pleasant memory. Maud has never learned the stories the odors of her jasmines could tell her. Meanwhile, Will is not as reckless as he once was Memories of the odor of jasmine haunt the flight of his days

And my like you seldom meet; I've disposition mellow, And smile that's rather neat; But the curious thing about me Twill provoke I'm sure. your mirth: won't blame you if you doubt me ButI do not want the earth. IT owned it-oh. good gracious, How unpleasant 1t would be- All the people of the spacious Universe would come to me with requests to buy their clothing. And their meat and drink and berth. Oh, 1t fills my soul with loathingl No! do not want the earth. All the taxes I'd be owing. All the grading to be done: All the work to keep her going Round and round the burning sun; All the acres to be planted o ye fates that give me birth, Let this prayer of mine be granted: Do not give to me the earth Give me half, or give me quarter; Give me tenth or twentieth: Give the land and keep the water: Else, pray thee. give me death.

own pleasures Each year made more pronounced that inclination to gratlfy self. He had about become indifferent as to what others might think of his manner of living. If they did not like it, let them give him a wide berth, he would have said There was, however, something picturesque in his reckless ness. He enjoyed life The present was everything to him. The gratifica- ton of each moment with any notion or freak that might possess him was his greatest concern.
 Will loved womankind in general way-for the pleasure she could add to the passing moment. Will was hand some, captivating, with a fascinating touch of badness that kept him in the good graces of mortals, especially the tender sex. For years it had been his rule to make desperate love to the woman that had last struck his fancy. Memories of dozens of flirtations were hid in that past that he never troubled himself to think about That the fu- ture might have in store for him as many hearts of women to toy with was his sole desire. Marriage was fool ishness he could not conceive he could be guilty of
 Will possessed an inheritance from his mother that seemed to be the sole place at which his nature turned aside for a moment from its reckless indif- ference to something better It was love for flowers of the mother born into No the occasion, the sight of beautiful flower was always sufficient to attract and hold his attention. While he ad- mired he expressed the admiration he felt, or uttered thought that was mo- ble and true and unattuned to the life he lived.
 Will in spell of travelling one spring reached small city in Georgia He all ways made provision to be well intro duced in any place into which he might come. So it proved on this occasion There was something attractive and pleasing about the southern city that captivated Will. Perhaps nothing more so than Maud Estelle. reigning belle and the first lady to whom he was in- troduced.
 Maud Estelle possessed great beauty. She was small, petite, of perfect form. Her features were those of cameo clear, delicately cut On her cheeks there was always tinge of color. Her eyes were of soft blue. Her hair was beautiful shade of light brown.
 No matter how Maud was dressed, her one adornment was bunch of beautiful yellow jasmine at her throat or in her hair. The soft lemon tent Of the flower harmonized perfectly with the hair and complexion of Maud There seemed to be sympathy be- tween flower and woman. Each ap- peared to be part of the other. There was suggestive daintiness and del icacy connecting them. Even the odor of the Jasmine was expressive-a per fume so delicate-a perfume rare-a perfume more felt than smelt--a per tume telling of the beautiful soul of a
