SHE THOUGHT 1T A LARK.
But She Changed Her Mind Before
She Got Through.

A young girl living in the west end
had peculiar experience a few nights
ago, and the fact was communicated to
& reporter by a younger brother, who
told it as a good joke on his sister, says
the Washington Star.
The young girls people have not yet
returned to their city residence, but she
came to town with her father one morn
ing last week to do little shopping
When nearly time to take the evening
train back to the country the girl re-
ceived a note from her father, saying
unexpected business would keep him in
town over night, and advising her not
TO make the trip alone. There was one
servant in the city house, and rooms
We're prepared for the father and daugh-
ter.
An admiring youth, learning the young
LADY would spend the evening in towE
prevailed upon her to attend the opera
with him. She thought it would be a
lark, and. arming herself with latch
key, set forth to enjoy herself, without
saying a word to the servant or her
father. The evening was a success, and
all went well until the admirinE youth
took the latchkey and with true gal
lantry esayed to open the front door
upon their return. Now, just below the
lock there yawned huge key-hole of
ancient date, and no longer in use. In
the darkness the youth thrust the key
into the first available opening. which,
of course, was the large keyhole; and
10, the key escaped his grasp and went
flying through, dropping with a tantal-
iZing ring upon the floor inside. Then
followed fugue upon the doorbell last
ing for quite half an hour, but the one
servant slept on in the third-story room.
1t was a terrible predicament for
young girl not yet ''in society" and she
and her escort were anything but calm.
Easement windows were tried and
knobs were ratified. but all in vain. Then
the youth took off his coat, scaled the
side entrance wall and jumped into the
yard beyond, expecting momentarily to
run afoul of a burglar alarm. After re-
peated instructions given through the
entry gate the youth began to shy peb-
bles at the servants window in the rear.
1t was nearly an hour-it seemed longer
to the pair of unfortunates-befoEe his
efforts met with success and the. re-
pentent maiden was safely housed. The
young girl promised to attempt no more
'larks." and the young man will exer-
else due caution in his future selection
of a theater companion.

The Don't Care Period.

Some one says the only points that
the feminine mind can appreciate are
Interrogation points. True or not, the
smali-boy topic fairly bristles with
these points. The mothers of the
world seem 10 have entered upon an
era of asking questions of each other
at rate that leaves them oblivious of
the fact that only now and then are
their answers solution to any prob
lem.
1t is our turn at questions now, and
we would like TO ask why mothers are
so universally sorry to see their boys
grow up? The JOY of mother life ought
TO be that she has brought man child
into the world. and one would sup
pose that the faster he moves on tow
ard manhood the happier she would be.
Yet here is the fact that. while his faith

Whatever line our thought may take
with reference to this subject, we come
back constantly to the one great
thought that, in these early years. while
the boyish nature is struggling to find
expression for the great forces shut
up within it, love is the one restraining
force. and the one developing force
that on no account must be allowed
to fail The child heart is not like a
beefsteak-all the tenderer for being
pounded-and they must be loved into
grace and goodness if we would hope
to see them gracious and good.-Mary
Lowe Dickinson, In Chicago Record.
