BICYCLES Take tho Place of Dogs.

Eastern dealers in dogs say that the
demand for their stock has increased
rapidly. They declare that the woman
who formerly fondled poodles and ter
riers for amusement now devotes her
self to her bicycle so enthusiastically
that she has no leisure for dogs. The
demand for large dogs has almost
ceased, because the men who used to
take them on their walks now ride a
wheel and don't want to be bothered
with dogs. Several men who ride reg
ularly on the boulevard are followed by
dogs, but this hasn't become fad A

1t not infrequently happens that

open, and turned her eyes eagerly
toward the path that led to it. But
it was only her little brother Arthur.
He came running up the walk, nearly
breathless with haste and excitement.
20, Susan" he exclaimed, as soon as
he observed her, "the seventh regiment
is going to start in the morning, and
the Ashland band will be here, and the
flremen are coming out! And only
think! Wyllis Burt isn't going, after
ALL John Albright has taken his place,
and"
But Susan was gone. With face
from which every vestige of color had
fed, she reached her own room. So he
was going, she said to herself, and she
was the cause Of it. If he had decided
that it was his duty to go, it would
not have seemed half so terrible
She thought Of the strength and no
bility of his nature, the tenderness of
his heart. Never had he seemed so
dear to her. Never had she realized
how much, or in how many ways she
should miss him. She recalled her
dream, and felt that 1t was a prophecy,
that she had seen him upon the field Of
battle, as he would lay ere long.
"And he was going without bidding
her goodbye. She could not have it
so. She must see him.!
AS she said this she arose, and tying
on her hat, and covering her light mus
lin dress with large, dark mantle,
stole out Of the house. She passed
rapidly along the nearly deserted
streets. until she came to the pleasant
little cottage where John lived with his
widowed mother. She had never been
inside of it, but had often looked at it
admiringly, as 1t stood EMPOWERED in
fruit and shade trees, rose-bushes and
clustering vines, and never before with
out thinking that sometime it was to be
her home as we'll as his.

bell. Mrs. Albright came to the door.

proach her with being the cause of the
loss she was about to sustain, the sup

child. But to her relief her counte-
nance wore the same kind and placid
look that was its prevailing expression,
though she seemed somewhat surprised
at her unexpected appearance.

What has happened, Susan?" he in
quired, in tone of concern.

Here her head again dropped upon
his shoulder. The expression upon
Johns countenance as he looked upon
the weeping girl was singularly con-
nicting; the eyes had a world Of lovO
and sympathy In them, while a half
pleased, half roguish smile fingered
around the mouth.

said, making vain effort to lift her
forehead from his shoulder, so he could
look into her eyes.

piled, still keeping her face hid from
him.

tone Of distress, that John was in

very different tone. But, Susan, when
and how did you hear that was going

Susan told him.
"And did 1t never occur to you that
I have cousin with that name?"
Susan started, her eyes flashing with
surprise and joy.
"Is 1t your cousin who is golng?"
she exclaimed.
1T isn't l." said John, smiling.
20, John, l am so glad. It seems 40

Il, too am very happy, Susan. Shall
I tell you why this mistake has made
me happy?" said John, looking down
earnestly into the eyes that were lifted
to his.
Susan guessed something Of his
meaning, for the lashes, still wet with
tears, dropped, until they rested upon
the flushed cheeks.
1T is because l was beginning to
doubt, not my love for you, but yours
for me. Because was beginning to dis
trust my ability to make you as happy
as should wish my wife to be. Do
you understand why, Susan?"
II understand, John. And I will try
never to give you reason to entertain
any such fears again."
John kissed the sweet lips that spoke
these gentle words.
Dear Susan" he said, you have
such kind, loving heart, and such an
earnest desire to do right, that I am
sure you will succeed; and as for me,
I feel that never fully understood
you until now, and will, God helping
me, be more patient with you than I
have been" And they both kept their
word.
Dear reader, word in your ear. All
lovers quarrels do not terminate so
happily. If you have won the love of
a true and faithful heart, try 1t not too
far. AS the constant dropping Of vat
err will wear the hardest stone, so will
frequent alterations, though followed
by reconciliation, weaken the strong
est affection, often planting in its stead
Indifference, if not positive aversion.

A PRETTY STORY.
What Little Girl Said at Lunch With
tho Queen.

What Little Girl Said at Lunch With
tho Queen.
An amusing story of ingenious child
hood is told by a former maid-of-honor
in the service Of Queen Victoria. A
little niece of hers visited her one day
at court The queen caught sight of the
child, and, pleased with her innocent
prattle, asked the lady-in-waiting to
have the little visitor come to luncheon
some day at the palace. The child was
taken on an appointed day to the royal
table. While quite unconscious of the
honor conferred upon her, she was
quiet and well-behaved, and not in
clined to talk unnecessarily. During
the luncheon chicken was served. The
child ate her portion with keen relish,
and was careful in the use of knife and
fork. Suddenly she stared at the
queen with eyes like round towers.
Then pointing her small finger in the
direction Of her majesty, she exclaimed
with tone of reproof: 20, piggie!
piggie" The queen had taken one of
the chicken bones quite delicately in
her fingers, but he carefully trained
child, who had been warned in the
nursery that this was breach of pro-
priety in young people, could not re-
frain from repeating an expression that
she had often heard her governess use.
Every one at the table was startled,
but the queen at once led in the laugh
ter, enjoying quite keenly the joke at
her own expense. Youths Companion.

ENDEAvoRERs AT A PICNIC.
Twin City Societies Have an Outing
at Harriet.

HArf1eFs
The Christian Endeavor societies of
the Twin Cities did not escape the heat
by holding their picnic and rally at
Lake Harriet yesterday afternoon and
evening. The heat did not however
dismay those who had planned to COM
bine an enthusiastic religious service
with pleasant outing. About $500
people were present in the afternoon
and fully double that number were out
during the evening.
Nor was the crowd composed wholly
of young people. There was a goodly
sprinkling of parents and grown up
friends. Besides the Minneapolis con-
tingent, several hundred went from ST.
Paul. The latter were distinguished by
tiny badges Of cherry colored ribbon,
not as a mark of discrimination but
to enable them to secure through car
service on their return. The Mime
apolis people wore blue badges, and the
dainty bits of color made pretty con-
trast to the light summer dresses and
linen suits so generally worn. Not less
than 125 Endeavor societies were rep
resented from the Twin Cities C. Fl.
Hunt, state president, and Miss Carrie
A. HOlbrOOk, state secretary were
present and took an active part in the
rally.
The afternoon services were ,ritf,
and the crowd that filled the pavilion
almost to suffocation sang the hymns
with an energy that made it appear as
if their hearts were in the movement.
II they did not listen so attentively to
the addresses, it was perhaps due to
the fact that the programme had been
prepared entirely with reference to the
Juniors and the speakers were rather
unprepared for the large audience of
adults.
w. G. Fordyce, president Of the ST.
Paul Christian Endeavor societies, pre-
sided over the afternoon service. After
short programme of sacred music by
Watson's First Regiment band, John
Hodge led in a song service. Rev. Mr..
Bevans offered a prayer. Rev. Carl
w. Scovel, of the House of Hope Pres
byterian church, St. Paul, gave an adj
dress to the Juniors impressing on
them the need of turning the military
or fighting spirit into contest to over
come evil and build up noble character
He said the Junior volunteer equipment
should be purity, perseverance, prayer
and patriotism.
Miss Carrie A. Holbrook, state sec
rotary, gave a word picture Of the
great national convention held at
Washington where the various depart
ments Of work were carried on in huge
tents.
The service concluded with several
hymns sung by the audience Imme-
diately after the serious work of the
afternoon was concluded, the crowd
scattered to the two picnic grounds adj
joining the pavilion. Here lunch bas-
kets were opened and friendly groups
spent the hours before evening service
in the merriest fashion possible.
