Don't mind me-" she murmured behi.d

know / was very nervous, worried, sup

notice me, please"
But Barker had drawn beside her and
was trying after the fashion of his sex,
to take her handkerchief away in appar-
emily the firm belief that this action would
stop her tears. But tell me what 1t is.
Do, Mrs. Horncastle, please" he pleaded
in his boyish fashion. rs it anything I
can do? Only say the word; only tell me
something
But he had succeeded in partially remov-
ing the handkerchief, and SO caught a
glimpse of her wet eyes, in which a faint
smile struggled out like sunshine through
rain. But they clouded again, although she
didn't cry, and her breath came and went
with the action of a sob and her hands
still remained against Eer flushed face.

Never mind Kitty said Barker impul-
sively. Tell me about yourself-your own

For a moment Mrs- Horncastle was
epeechless and vacillating. She had often
noticed before that it was part of the irony
of the creation of sucn n simple nature as
Barker's that he was not only open to 6e-
ceit. but absolutely seemed to invite it. In
stead of making others franker, people
were inclined to rebuka his credulity by re-
straint and equivocation on their own part.
But the evasion thus offered to her, al
though only temporary, was temptation
she could not resist. And 1t prolonged an
interview that 4 ruthless revelation of the
truth might have shortened.
She did not tell me why she was going

Fishing Time.

When tulips bloom in City Square
AEu timid breatlIs of vernal air
60 wandering down TIE dusty town.
Like children lost in Vanity Fair:
Wien every long, unlOvely row
VI westward houses stands aglow.
And leads the eyes toward sunset skies
Beyond the hills where green trees grow;
When weary seems the street parade.
And weary books, and weary trade;
I'm only wishing to go a-fshins;
For this the month Of May was made,
guess the pussy willows now
Are creeping out on every bOuSh
Along the brook; and robins look
For early worms behind the plough
The thistle-birds have changed their dun
For yellow coats, to match the sun;
And In the same array of flame
The DandeliOn Shows begun.
The docks OF young anemones
Are dancing round the budding trees;
Who can help wishing to go a fishing
In days as full Of Joys as these7

How Thicrs Won n Prize.

From the Chautauquan
His great achievement at AK was in
winning prize offered by the academy for
an essay on Vauvenargues. The way In
which this prize was secured was char
acteristic Of Theirs. He wrote one essay,
which would have been successful but for
the fact that 1t was known to be his The
essays were sent anonymously, but Theirs
had been unable to refrain from reading
his to literary society. The royalists on
the committee, knowing its authorship,
were unwilling to grant it the prize and
postponed the decision. Theirs at once
wrote another in a different style, which
Mgnet copied and sent in anonymously
This essay won the prize and the whole
town laughed at the clever scheme The
money which he received enabled him to
go to Paris.

MILLIONS IN PAINTING.
The Observation-Disclosures Collection Is

The Observation-Disclosures Collection Is
Worth ~ ,5OG,000.
The celebrated Hertford-Wallace col
lection of pictures bequeathed to the
British nation by Lady Wallace is esti-
mated to be worth 81, 100000. Her mag
nanimity, says the Boston Transcript,
is all the more noteworthy because she
was struck off the queens visiting list
many years ago.
Sir Richard Wallace died on July 90.
1890, leaving behind him the most ia
nous art collection of any Englishman,
The whole of Sir Richards great wealth
and the peerless collection of pictures
(Which includes 10 examples of Nelson
Ter and Is of Greuze) were given to his
wife for her own free disposition. Prior
TO his death, however, he expressed his
wishes to his wife that after her death
his superb collection of works of art
should go to England's national gallery
and that his wish in this respect should
be carried out she arranged several
years ago.
The magnificent Hartford collection
comprised when it passed into Sir Rich
ard Wallace's hands splendid assert
ment of paintings, porcelains. bronzes,
decorative furniture, jewelry and other
works of art. His own purchases dur
ing the past 80 years included many of
the choicest examples of old japanese
art, which he was one of the first to
bring to the attention of European
connoisseurs; of the masters of the
Italian renaissance notably the nr0duc.
tons in silver of Benvenuto Cellini and
his immediate followers and of modern
French painters.

BRICKS OF STRAW.
MIXED with Tar and Formed Into
Cubes Under Pressure

Mixed with Tar and Formed Into
Cubes Under Pressure.
A Polish newspaper announces a new
Invention made by Warsaw engineer,
who proposed to the city authorities
quite original material for street paw
ing. He uses cubes of compressed straw
instead of the wooden blocks used in
some other European countries. The
manufacture of these straw cubes is
carried on according to a peculiar proc
ess. Straw is cut in pieces of a GER
tain length, impregnated with fluid,
the composition of which is a secret of
the inventor, and then pressed in
blocks. The inventor buys up straw
liz bales, binds them closely together
with wire, and then immerses the en-
tire bundle into ahot solution, the smell
of which indicates that several materials
like pitch, rosin, tar and other of the
same kind form part of the mixture
These bundles of straw remain for a
certain length Of time in the solution
and are then subjected to heavy pres
sure in machine, which they leave in
the shape of ready cubes According
to the inventor, this paving material
is cheaper than wood, but more durable
and stronger, and at the same time
more elastic

4 DOG Thai CAN TgsT METALS.
silver TIP knows Good Money from
Rad, Every Time.

S1ANGE HIP 1NDOWH 00GA money
Bad. Every Time.
No bank teller in Iowa has truer
instinct fer real. genuine cart-wheel
silver dollars than has a Rock Rapids
dog called Silver Tip. says the Chicago
Times-Herald. Silver Tip is tan-colored
and weighs about ten pounds. All his
two years of life he has been the prop
erty of Landlord Barber, of the Lyon
hotel, at Rock Rapids. but it is only
within the last year that his power of
immediate insight into the nature of
metals has become known to his owner.
The way Tip manifests his powers,
as his owner puts it. is as follows: If
enc takes pile of coins the size of an
American dOllar-say trade dollar a
Mexican dollar, a fve-franc piece and
some counterfeit dollars-and puts one
genuine dollar piece in the center of
the pile, Tip will rummage around
among them for an instant and then
snatch the good coin and proceed TO
take care of it in approved dog fashion
TO an accompaniment of growls and
bites. Or if one rolls q coin along the
floor Tip can tell every time whether
it is good stuff to be chased.
Tip never makes mistake, and there
isn't a bit of doubt about his powers.
He has been tested by Chicago bust
ness men and by committees of Iowa
scientists. He gets no human help in
his work. The good coin is not marked
in any peculiar way for his benefit,
nor is it scented. Anyone can use his
own coin in the experiment. Nor does
Tips powers depend on signs from his
master The latter leaves the room
without detracting from the dogs abil-
ity in the least.
Mr.. Barber has refused all offers for
the purchase of Tip.
