He entered the restaurant with the

clined to take the seat which the head
waiter indicated; but, after a survey of
the room, chose one which suited him.
He sat down, smoothed his napkin
across his knee, adjusted his eye
glasses and carefully read the bill of
fare from beginning to end. Then he
glanced toward the waiter, who stood
silent at his elbow, and by that sign
indicated his readiness to give his Or

How q WOuan's Wounded Vanity Was

| Once on a time q lady who lived n
Harlem went early in the morning into
the yard behind the house to look
after some plants. nominally Towering
plants. but in reality just plain plants
that grew there. After not much look
ing, she decided to transfer them to
pots and take them indoors, out of
harms and frost's way. That, SO trans
ferred, they would be in the way of a
good many other thing people
did not occur to her. but this, too, is
immaterial.
Action followed decision. and it was
while SO employed. after gloves and
skirts had suffered from too great in
timacy with garden trowel and garden
soil, and after Harlem breezes had
grievously disheveled the Harlem
lady's hair. that the Event insistence
on the capital is still maintained)
came 20 pass.
looking up, she saw at 4 window in
the next house, and watching opera
tions with interest, another lady, who
happened to be friend as we'll as
neighbor. Now the fact that the Ia
dies were acquainted, being neigh
bors, is in itself sufficiently remark
able, considering that the scene is New
York, to be called an event." but it is
not the capitalized one.
Don't look at me-" called the lady
in the garden to the lady in the win
dow; then with a downward glance she
added: 'Did you take me for serv-
ant?'
Not a bit of it, replied the other,
and, without an instant's delay, Il
took you for Cinderella"
And that was the event-the neatest
compliment ever paid by woman to a
woman, worthy to go into history with
the best half dozen that men. helped
by genius, have invented to please
queens.-N. Y. Times

down into the shadow. where they la,

1t was as well that his prairie train
ing had given jefferson Hope the ear:
of lynx. He and his friends haG
hardly crouched down before the mel
anchOly hOoting of mountain owl
was heard within few yards of them
which was Immediately answered by
another boot at small distance. A,
| the same moment vague. shadowy
figure emerged from the gap for which
they had been making. and uttered the
plaintive signal cry again, on which a
second man appeared out of the OBJ
security.
Tomorrow at midnight" said the
first. who appeared to be in authority.
When the whippoorwill calls three
times"
1T is WELL" returned the other
''Shall tell Brother Drebber?'
''Pass it on to him. and from him -

Seven to fivc"' repeated the other.
and the two figures fitted away in
different directions. Their concluding
words had evidently been some form of
sign and countersign. The instant
that their footsteps had died away in
the distance, jefferson Hope sprang to
his feet. and, helping his companions
through the gap. led the way across
the fields at full speed. supporting and
half-carrying the girl when her
strength appeared to fail her.
Hurry on! hurry on" he gasped
from time to time. I'VE are through
the line of sentinels. Everything de-
ponds on speed. Hurry on!''
Once on the high-road they made
rapid progress. Only once did they
meet anyone. and then they managed to
slip into field and SO avoid recogni-
ton. Before reaching the town the
hunter branched away into a rugged
and narrow footpath which led to the
mountains. Two dark, jagged peaks
doomed above them through the dark
ness, and the defilc which led between
them was the Eagle canyon in which
the horses were awaiting them. With
instinct jefferson Hope
picked his way among the great
and along the bed of dried
up water-cOurse, until he came to the
retired corner, screened with rocks.
where the faithful animals had been
picketed. The girl, was placed upon
the mule, and old Ferrier upon one of
the horses, with his money-bag. while
Jefferson Hope led the other along the
and dangerous paths.
