eRANpPARENTs.
They Are the Most Pleasant and Compan-
iOnable People In the World.

They Are the Most Pleasant and Compan-
ionable People In the World.
Judged from the standpoint of the
average child, there is nobody so de-
lightful as the average grandparent.
Grandfathers are the jolliest of play
fellows, the most charming of COM
panions Fathers are apt to be alb
sorbed in business, with little time to
devote to the amusement of their boys
and girls, but GRANDPA Tiers are no
longer in the midst of the conflict; they
can potter about, help in making kites
and building boats, tell stories by the
hour together; they can sympathize with
"a fellow" in his daily trials and tri-
umphs. A grandfather is very much
nearer boy of five or ten years old
than the boys father is apt to be- He
looks through older yet more childlil<e
eyes. and appreciates the boys difficult
ties and temptations more readily and
more truly than the younger man does.
1t almost seems at times as if a man
must be grandfather before he entire
ly enters into the fulness of fatherhood.
As for grandmothers, no family is
complete that lacks one. A grand
mother over the way, in the next street,
in the next town, is blessing, but a
grandmother resident in the family is
gift for which to thank God fervent-
ly. Who else so tender, so sweet, so
dear? To her quiet room young and
old bring their perplexities, to find the
patient wisdom and the ready common
sense which explain whatever was
battling, and devise way into freedom
from care. Grandmother's chair is
moved into the sunniest corner of the
kitchen when grave household enter
prises are afoot. 1t is her recipe by
which the 'wedding-cake is compound
ed for the BRIDE, and the mince-meat
prepared for the winters supply.
Grandmother always has court-plas-
ter and witch-hazel and arnica and
toothache drops in the little cabinet in
her room. She can spread poultices
and bind up wounds, and her sweet
words and smiles go as far toward heal
ing bruises as her material remedies.
Grandparents are accused by their
sons and daughters, with a fair show
of reason, of being decidedly more
lenient with Juvenile offenders, less
sternly disposed toward discipline,
than they were to their children in an
earlier day. They would spoil the
grandchildren if allowed, declare the
fathers and mothers, serenely confident
in their own discretion, and quite sure
they are right in their sternly-repres-
sive methods.
Never mind The wheel of time in
its ceaseless revolution is bringing on
the day when the man who now laugh
ingly reproves his parents for their fan
cied weakness will himself stand in
awed pleasure gazing into tho round
eyes of the second generation, and feel
ing himself the founder of line Then
it will be his turn to emulate the grand
parent, as the grandparent has beer
from the beginning. -Harpers Bazaar.

castles. l have thus represented to YOU,
Mrs. Maynard, the peculiar attitude of
this person toward Annie Dupont that
you may the moro readily perceive a
motive for the line of action that she
subsequently pursued.
after lapse of several years, spent
very happily abroad, the lady's health
began to fail seriously, and she was
warned by her attending physician that
the insidious disease which had been de-
veloping for months, unsupported by
herself, might at any time prove fatal.
The dread of dying in foreign land
and leaving Annie once more among
strangers, alone and unprotected, in
>luced the lady to return at once to her
American home, beautiful little villa
on the Hudson, where for a few months
her health seemed to be materially i'm
proved. Encouraged by this favorable
change, she decided to wait a little
longer before making known to her
adopted daughter the secret of her true
parentage, seeming to shrink with an
instructive dread from making the dis
closure.
Annie was now sixteen, and very
finely accomplished, having been since
the age of five years under the care of
governesses and tutors who had taken
great pride in fitting their pupil for the
social position that she was destined %
occupy. Anxious, however, that her
daughters education should be as
broad and deep as possible, the lady dc
cidcd to give her the advantage of a
thorough collegiate training; and few
weeks after their return to America
found Annie Dupont at Vassar."
Mrs. Maynard's attention now ap,
peared to be wholly withdrawn from
Miss Hilary and concentrated upon
North's story. Her hands, clasped to-
gether closely, lay motionless in her
lap; her eyes were fixed upon North's
face; she listened with almost breath
less attention to every word that he
spoke.
AS if influenced by this change in her,
North's manner altered; it's lightness
vanished and his tones grew earnest
and sympathetic as he proceeded.
For a few months all went we'll.
Annie was happy in her college life
winning friends and popularity, and
little dreaming of the blow that was
soon to fall suddenly upon her. When
at last, summoned by the telegram
which, like n thunderbolt from n clear
sky, had startled her out of the routine
of her busy school life, she reached her
home on the Hudson, she was too late
to receive the loving farewell of the
one who had been her dearest earthly
friend.
The end had come almost without
warning, but it seems that the lady had
felt presentiment of her impending
fate, and had sent for her lawyer in
order to make every provision for
Annie's future. Unfortunately he was
absent from home and could not re-
spond to the summons in time to re-
ceive from her lips her last instructions.
The only person who was with the lady
at her death was the girl whom l have
already mentioned. This girl, who had
been with Annie and her mother during
all their lonG wnnderings In Europe

The blue jay is a handsome bird. with
a most discordant voice, and with an
other popularity not SO we'll known
he is the most persistent practical joker
in the feathered kingdom. One of his
favorite tricks is to conceal himself in
a clump of leaves near the spot where
small birds are accustomed to gather,
and, when they are enjoying them
selves in their own fashion, suddenly
brighten them almost to death by
screaming out like hawk Of course,
they scatter in every direction, and,
when they do so, the mischievous ras-
cal gives vent to cacl1le that sounds
very much like laugh. If he confined
his praks to such jokes as this, however,
he would not be such bad neighbor
to birds smaller than himself, but when
he amuses himself by breaking the
eggs in their nests and tearing the
young to pieces with his bill, he be.
comes a pestilent nuisance, and they
often combine their forces to drive hin
out of the neighborhood. They do not
always succeed, Tor he is as full of fight
as of mischief, but q severe conflict
teaches him that they, too, have their
rights, and this induces him to mend
his manners.-Golden Days.

A Little Comedy Of Errors,
BY S. s. MORTON.

And now must digress Just Tor u
moment in order to bring to your
notice yet another person who plays
IN important part in the sequel.
This person is at present living in
Evansburg, n small place about
ten miles from X, and it was
from her that l succeeded in OBJ
tanning my chief evidence in this
case. Her name is of no consequence:
or rather, it is of so much consequence
that l shall withhold it for the present.
Taken at an early age from q wretched
tenement house in New York, and
transferred to the different atmosphere
of n wealthy lady's home, where for the
first time in her life she was treated as
human being, where her hands were
trained to dcftness in all household
duties, where she was given q sound
rudimentary education and was fitted
by kind ard painstalxing instruction for
the humble walk in life for which
nature and circumstances had evidently
designed her, this girl knew no better
than to misinterprct the intentions of
her kind benefactress (who was, as you
may have already shrcwdly surmised,
mono other than Annie Dupont's
adaptive mother), and upon this misin-
depreciation to build the most absurd
and extravaganza expectations. 1t may
have been the girls own preposterous
vanity that conceived the notion, or it
is possible that the thought was sug-
gested to her by some older person. BE
this as it may, she began to cherish the
hope that she would some day receive q
liberal share of the lady's small fortune,
to which, rs she knew, there were no
immediate heirs. 1t was only when
Annie Dupont was legally adopted that
this absurd bubble burst. Learning
accidentally Mt this time of the foolish
expectation that the girl had been in
dulging, the lady told her to dismiss the
idea at once. L should never have
dreamed of making you heir, in any
event, she said, and now everything
that possess will so to Annie, my
adopted daughter
Instead of acquicscing in this deci-
sion without Il murmur-which calm
philosophy, by the way, would have
prevented this story of mine from being
told to my present select audience-the
girl was angry, and she visited all her
resentment upon the child who had in
nocently ovcrthrown her ambitious air

She was visiting her artist cousins

his latest work. He had the canvas
upon the easel, and occasionally touch

the effect.

Could he have had the faintest reali-
cation of the cruelty of these words, he
would have cut off his right hand
rather than have uttered them. Mrs.
Maynard rose slowly, looking at him
with n strange expression which, like
the dead calm of her manner, seemed
but the prelude to a storm of passion.
When she spoke she knew not what i'm
pulse lay behind the words; she only
dimly comprehended that what she
would have said remained unspol1en,
while the thought that she would have
buried In her heart found q passionate
utterance.
You wish me happiness, Mr.. North?"
she repeated slowly, in tones that
would have been overwhelming had he
been conscious of deserving the scorn
that they contained. 81 thank you!
Why should l not be happy? If heart
and conscience condemn us not, then
happiness is within the reach of all; to
these silent mentors 1 commend you,
now and hereafter!'
Then it was that a perception of his
blunder came over North, and he started
up with an impulsive protestation on
his lips, when suddenly q voice was
heard in the hall, speaking to Williams
in a sharp, imperative tone; then the
drawing-room portiere was swept aside
and n hasty step crossed the threshold.
Mrs. Maynard, who was directly fac
ing the door, looked up quickly to see
partially turned away from the door,
sank back in his chair and looked
quickly at Mrs. Maynard.
II l.. u i
frozen ifelessness of her manner gave
place to sudden alert amazement. An
inarticulate cry broke from her lips;
then she stood transfxed, gazing
straight ahead as if she beheld an ap-
partition from another world.
A cool little smile passed over North's
face as he noted her agitation; and yet,
with all his GOODNESS, faint thrill Of
excitement ran along his nerves as he
contemplated the scene now at hand.
Rising deliberately he drew himself
up to his full height; then turning
slowly around he found himself face to
face with the person who had just
entered the room.
A few PAGES distant the latter stood
q gentleman in a long ulster which was
unfastened and thrown back, revealing
an elegant toilet beneath. This gentle
man was in personal appearance theper-
feet counterpart of Allan North; there
was the same tall, slender figure, the
same proudly-poised head with cluster
ing auburn curls, the same keen, dark
gray eyes, clear-cut features, sweeping
dark mustachc; only in the more delicate
variations of expression could subtle
difference be traced. One might well
be amazed by their remarkable resem-
blance as they stood thus silently face
to face, looking at each other.
Miss Hilary, no less agitated than
Mrs. Maynard, stood with eyes fixed in
anxious suspense upon Allan's calm,
grave countenance; while Williams, for
getting himself in the excitement of tho
moment, was lowering in the doorway
with uplifted hands, gazing at the two
gentlemen in open-mouthed astonish-
ment.
One moment went by in absolute 81
lence-a moment full Of dramatic in
terest to every member Of that little
group.

choice of route or chance of error
Hence Richard Inwards has surmised
that the device on the coins only shows
the clew or key to the right path, and
leaves out the wrong ones. BY taking
the maze as shown on the coins and
treating the circular dividing walls as
double, each containing passage of the
same width as the road shown on the
coins, he obtains the genuine labyrinth,
as seen in the accompanying figure,
which is difficult to explore to the
center even when seen at q glance on
paper. The coin device is simply each
alternate circle of this one. To give
the key in brief-avoid every alternate
circle or path. Such q labyrinth helps
us to understand how useful the col
ored thread of Ariadne might be to
Theseus, because on returning to any
place he had passed he would find his
own thread and be able to make bet
