ruefully.
Tom Douglas was a naval officer.
and before being stationed at Sitka
he had been on duty IA winter in
Washington, where he had plunged
into society with that gay abandon
that only a sailor knows, for after
three years at sea young fellow
is qnite ready for the rush and
whirl Of the gay capitol. All
houses were open to the handsome
Lieutenant, but there was one
where he was especially welcome.
The hostess was pretty widow of
some twenty-six or twenty-seven
years of age. Her husband, who
had died soon after their marriage,
seemed not to have laid very
strong hold on her affections, for
after mourning him decorously for
year she blossomed into the gay.

came a center for the young Off
GERS who had been the friends of
her husband.
1t was there that Tom spent
most OF his time. He dropped in
during the morning and discussed
the newest gossip or the latest
magazines and came in for cup of
tea in the afternoon and remained
till her cozy parlor was empty save
for himself and her.
Are you going to the assembly
to-night?" he would ask.
will you be there, Tom?" Mrs.
Deering had such good-fellow-

names.
"Yes, l presume So"
Well, then, l am going" the
little widow would reply.
And that was the way the winter
passed-Tom running in at all
hours, privileged to smoke or to
read, to talk or listen, the most in
dulged of all her callers. When
his orders came for his immediate
removal to Alaska he put the doc
ument in his pocket and went, as
usual, to the CHEEKY home of Mrs.
Deering. He told her the news
and was really surprised and fiat
tered by her reception of it. She
took both his hands in hers, and
the tears gathered in her bright
eyes.
"Oh, Tom, she said, II hate to
have you 60"
Now, it never had occurred to
Lieutenant Douglas before, but at
this moment the idea did come to
him that he was in love with the
widow. He drew her to him and
kissed away her tears, and before
he knew it he was engaged to

Meant For the Minister.

A popular minister in Fifeshire, in
the good old times, used at Christmas to
be inundated with hampers filled with
good things. On one occasion an enor-
nous turkey was sent to him by the
thoughtful kindness of a neighboring
farmer, but as the minister's family had
already provided for the Christmas din
ner the bird was sent to the market and
sold.
A passerby, seeing this fine specimen
of poultry, said, "What splendid tur-
key! Just the thing for the minister 8
Christmas dinnerp' To the minister it
was again sent.
The provident wife sent it again to
the market and sold it again for hand
some sum.
Another friend, similarly struck with
the splendid proportions of the turkey,
purchased it and sent it to the minis
ter. The good woman, not wishing to fly
in the face of Providence, said at last:
sit is clear that the Lord means us to
have this turkey" and with the appro-
baton of the family it formed part Of
the Christmas dinner. Youths Com

There is superstitious regard for the
number three in the popular mind, and
the third repetition of anything is gen.

article may twice be lost and recovered,
but the third time that it is lost it is
gone for good. Twice man may pass
through some great danger in safety,
but the third time he loses his life. If,
however, the mystic third can be sue

not confined to Christianity, but oo-

In mythology also we find three fates,
three furies and three graces, and, COM

of almost anything of which fertile
imagination can conceive a trio. In
nursery rhymes and tales this number

the days of our childhood most OF us

A FAMOUS NOVELIST.
A Graphic Pen Picture of Hall Caine ant
Something of His Character.

A Graphic Pen Picture of Hall Caine and
Something of His Character.
Hall Caine is said to resemble Shake
speare in the keen intelligence Of his
features and in the intellectual height
of his prominent forehead. He possesses
a highly nervous organization, and his
first novel came near bankrupting him
in health. His best work is done after
midnight in the early morning hours.
He is a native of the isle of Man. a
Manxman, and is 45 years old, or there
abouts. Much of his time is spent in
travel, when he exerts his powers of OBJ
servation and gathers material for fu-
ture use. His home is in the English
lake country, overlooking Derwentwa-
ter and above the town of Reswick. 1t
is called ''Hawthorns. .
The novelist is also at times poet, as
he occasionally writes some verses for
publication. He has decided religious
tendencies, which take the form of in
vestigation. He contemplates writing a
life of Christ, and as he excels in terse,
epigrammatic sentences his style would
be in the direct line of Biblical truths.
He is conscientious and painstaking in
all his literary methods, and his readers
recognize in him one who has sincerity
as superstruc6ure for every romance Of
which he is the architect. New York

the quarter of a century that has elapsed
since they established permanent resi-

most adverse conditions. When the war
ended, the majority of them were strand

Well Known Bankers,
Another evidence of southern energy
is shown in the fact that eight of the
New York banks have southern men for
presidents. These are DR.. James H.
Parker of the United States National
bank; r. L. Edwards, Bank of the State
OF New York; Charles NJ Fry, Bank of
New York; John McAnerny, Seventh
National bank; James J. Woodward,
Hanover National bank; Fl. E. Garth,
Mechanics National bank; W. P. st.
John, Mercantile National bank, and
Orson Adams of the Commercial bank

the battlefield, started in life as a
humble cotton broker. The year 1882
found him member OF the New ork
Cotton Exchange, and eventually he was
elected its president. Now he is small
ROthschild.
When John McAnerny arrived here
he had nothing but his title of colonel
and an old uniform. He started in the
hardware commission business, gradual
ly became interested in railroads and
mining, and finally was able to control
and direct investments to a degree that
made him valuable in the position which
he at present occupies.
Few persons know that Stephen V.
White, or 1.-The Deacon, as he is
sometimes called, one of the best known
men in Wall street, comes of North

which he has vibrated between millions
and bankruptcy, however, with the mil
lions generally on top, shows that it is
fighting Quaker" stock.
Still another dashing operator is Ad-

reputation as a successful leader of the
