Of Aaron Horn and his two lovely companions
caused considerable excitement and they were
speedily surrounded by a quaintances.
Among tfese was Cat. Linke, tall,
blond fellow, and one of Katharna's most
sincere and faithful armrers.
How gad | am to see you here, he said.
Really? Why2 ;" h
." May show you why? Please come with
me. At the other end of the hall there is n
fortune teller. and l wantyou to see what she
will tell you" -
MAY we join you?' asked the baron.
" Certainly. Come, we will all go to-
gether.''
The mysterious room that held the fortune
teller was reached. The fortune teller proved
to be little figure in the middle OF disc.
Round the disc wero figures and numbers
and slips of paper arranged. Anyone who
wanted to.see into the future paid mark,
SET the figure revolving, and took the slip of
paper opposite which it stopped.
Now, my genaediges franlein." said the
captain taking out his purse, won't you try
you luck?" sat
But Katharine refused positively 10 be
party to such nonsense, and. inasmuch as
Lii could not be persuaded either, the baron
asked permission to inquireaof the oracle him
self. So l-w
He set the figure inmotion and took the
slip of paper opposite which it stopped
''Seek her hand and buy the ring. Thy life
will then be full ofjoy, ran the words on il.
The baron tried to catch glance from
Lii, but she appeared 10 bs absorbed in the
nature and character ofsthe floor and would
not raise her eyes.
..Potz Bltzi'' cried the captain, turning to
Katharine, that is famous; you really must
be persuaded to try it now. Or, shall do it
for you?" s
''You may do it for me-" she replied in
such sharp tones that every one looked at
her.
The captain turned to the figure and read
the words: Hast thou not often heard it
said" He hesilated; then tore the paper
up and threw it on the floor. The conclusion
ofthe sentence seemed to suit the many pro-
posals that Katharine had received too well
for him TO read it.
What was the rest, captain?" asked the
baron, in all innocence. But the captain
looked so displeased that the question was not
pressed.
II wonder what it was?" Lii whispered to
the baron.
I'VE shall learn later, perhaps, he replied,
"But did you get my New Years card this
morning 2"
T "Yes," she answered. softly, with blush.
'And do you remember what the fortune
teller told me just now? Ii buy ring will
you wear it %
He drew deep sigh of relief as he saw his
answer in her happy, blushing face.
! She lowered her eyes and said II don't
know. You must first speak to papa.-From

Those women who have spent unnee essary
car fare, time, and strength in seeking help
ers of various kinds to carry on the work Of
their households would do well to follow the
example of Syracuse club that has divided
its city into wards, and found out in each Of
those wards the names and addresses Of those
who can do different kinds Of work, and the
conditions under which it can be done These
things they have printed IN a little book called
Household Register" The plan seems a
most eommenddble and efficient one for put
ting those who are in need of service promptly

Only Women Voted.

The interest which women are taking In ths
subject of equal suffrage in California is evil
denced by the recent election in which only
women took part. writer from Californis
says: The movement which originated iE
San BernarGino two months ago soon spread
not only over this country, but women in sG<
joining counties caught the idea, and in River
side, In Los Angeles, and San Diego counties
they have been marching up TO the polls and
putting in a ballot which might Indicate their
rights as citizens. For God and home and
native land was the motto everywhere in
sight about the polling booths. About q, ,000
votes were polled."

was made today by the Western Passen-
ger association and the transcontinental
roads in relation to settlement of their
differences over the rate situation.
After remaining in conference till late
an the evening the Western roads asked
Their traascontlnental conferees to take
into consideration the views they had
presented to them as to how satisfac-
tory arrangement could be reached and
TO make them at the earliest possible
date final proposition. AS soon as
this proposition is received a gen eraI
meeting of the association will be called
to take it into consideration.
John L. Fish, general counsel for the
Milwaukee " st. Paul road, has pre-
scented his resignation to President
Miller. The latter has not yet accepted
it. Mr.. Fish declines to give any reason
for his action further than that it is his
desire to return to Wisconsin and take
Iup his permanent residence there.
Prior to 1887, when he was appointed to
that position he IS about to relinquish,
he was engaged in the general practice
ton to resume it.
