An Elephants Foot.

Any one who has even glanced at
the foot of an elephant must be aware
that it is ponderous piece of anato-
my, but it's actual size is best illus
trated by an anecdote.
Two men in the Central Park Zoo
were speaking on this subject, and
one OF them thought the circumference
of the foot must measure at least four
feet.
His friend laughed at this. but the
younger man, after second time
gauging the size, insisted that his
guess was correct.
Nonsense-quite impossible." ex-
claimed his friend.
And then, as the younger man still
claimed that he was right, they laid a
wager and referred the matter to the
keeper.
What is the circumference of the
fore foot of that big elephant?" they
asked.
1.-The circumference of an elephants
foot is nearly half the animals
height, replied the keeper.
will you be SO good as to measure
it," asked the amazed visitor.
And the keeper got long cord and
went in beside the monster Bazzle
who stands eight feet five inches in
height.

Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust

EMMY uttered, the earth thrown upon
the cofin-lid, the mournful pageant dis
persed, awed and silent, while the long
Grape veil and bowed heGd Of the young
Widow concealed her grief from every
eye. Yet, could she have exposed hes
face, there would have been seen nnIy a
strange pallor, only dry eyes lowered
TO the ground, only her pale lips forn-
ing one word which kept ringing in her
heart until it seemed as though she
must shout it aloud-'Free! Free!"
Yet the man to whom the sad fare
well duties were being rendered had
given her his last glance Of love and
trust. What that trust had been, how
entire and complete, was proven when
his viii was opened and his whole i'm
mense fortune left therein to her free
will and disposal. No conditions marFed
his noble confidence. To the woman
with whom he had lived two short
years OF unalloyed happiness, he gave
all he had to give freely, generously,
asking nothing at her hands in return,
only that she might provide a home and
support for his orphan niece, and even
this request was made under the seal
of private letter.
Maude Harrison had played well her
part When she gave her hand to the
man now dead her heart was another's,
but no suspicion Of the truth ever
crossed his mind. That she, who stood
with him at the alter, whose eyes shone
with the fire Of love, who lay clasped
to his heart, who pressed her lips to
his, had perjured herself by her very
VOW, was false as she was fair, would
have been beyond his widest dreams Of
fancy; and so, happy in his blindness,
he closed his eyes for the last time, feel
ing that the only bitterness in death lay
IN the fact that he must cross the dark
river alone, leaving her sad and desolate
upon the shore.
When Kate Leonard first came home
from school where she had spent four
years and met the young and beautiful
woman whom her uncle had called wife,
and, glanclng at her own somber
mourning, recalled the fact that they
both shared the same deep grief,
pitylng love sprang up in her heart as
she clasped hernewaunt in her embrace.
Her welcome was all that she could ask,
and while she went to her own room
and laid her head upon her pillow with

And the days and the weeks and the
months and the years passed on, and
the pile Of love letters which came to
the girl grew in bulk. Sometimes they
were desPoHdent, sometimes cheerful,
sometimes hurried, sometimes tender
and sometimes the treasured space was
oysrful Of descriptions of new friends

failed to come. and the man never failed
TO long for the riches which could bring
him to the girls side and make life

And the girl longed and longed that

love was heeting, a question merely Of

not always true, for this girls love
