HER OWN LOVER.

=
they had been walking together and
slowly crossed the lawn to the house.
How happy she was and how beau
tiful the world! 1t was good to be
alive! The June air, fragrant with
the scent of roses and honey-suckle,
seemed throbbing with joy.
How her friends would wonder
when they learned that she was 60
ing to marry poor man, a strug-
Cling artist. They had always affirm
ed that she, because she had shown
so much indifference to the MANY
attracted, was waiting to make some
great, grand marriage; but, happily,
she was her own mistress and free to
choose as she wished. She loved
Mark Warren and would marry him.
And, although the decisive words had
not been spoken, she knew well the
avowal that had been trembling on
his lips SO often.
When he had protested against be-
ing sent away that morning, she had
babe him ''cOme this evening"" and
from the expression of his eyes she
knew what words he would speak
All, she was so happy
A maid met her at the door and
handed her a little parcel, SAYING
prom Miss Arden.''
Miss Charming opened it.
''Oh the menu cards [ ordered. But
they are not all here. She was to have
painted two Dozen"
1.-THE boy who brought them, Miss
Elizabeth said that Miss Arden is
sick" answered the maid
Indeed! I'm sorry. That is the
reason | have not seen her for so
long, poor little girl! Have them
bring the carriage around, Jane. I
will drive into the city and see her.
Tell Aunt Mary when she comes in
not to await luncheon.''
All along the way down town Miss
Charming felt quite remorseful that
Of late she had been so absorbed in
her new happiness that she had not
given her usual attention to this lit
tie protegee of hers. But she would
make amends. Some of her over
bounding joy should overflow into
kindness to others.
She found Ruth Arden in her poor
little room, pale and wan, feebly try
ing to finish painting the remaining
cards.
Elizabeth was startled as she saw
the great circles under the dark eyes
and the lines around the mouth.
''My dear Ruth, what is the mat
ter?''
ST have not been well,' with an at
tempt to smile.
''Why have you not sent for me?"
asked Miss Charming, reproachfully.
There was an expression in the young
artists face and an abandonment in
her manner that struck Elizabeth
with surprise. She had always seen
her such bright, happy little work
er.

arms around the slight form.
The girl yielded to the gentle per-
suasive voice and poured out her
trouble-the old story of a young
maiden's love and mans carelessness
of it.
81 love him So" she sobbed. ''He
was everything to me, and now he's
leaving me for this beautiful rich wo-
man; I am so poor and obscure"
Elizabeth let her cry on for some
time, and then, soothing her into
calm, drew from her the whole story.
She had met him at the art school
where they were both students, and
had loved him. They had been much
together. Their affection had not
been avowed, but she knew he had
loved her and would have continued
faithful if he had not met this other
girl. She had noticed the change in
him and had heard that he was often
in the company of this beautiful
belle whom he had met at an art re-
ception. Some paintings of his had
won favorable notice from the crit
les, and that had led to his being en-
gagged to paint the portraits of some
wealthy people. At first he had been
as poor and unnoticed as she. He
had continued his visits to Ruth until
the last few weeks.
ooh, Miss Charming, [ had only
him. and she has everything! Why
should she take him from me?''
''Who is she, Ruth?'
Il don't know, [ have never heard
her name"
''Take courage, child. Perhaps it
is all a mistake"
ooh, Miss Charming, if only Mark
were not to see her again! [ know he
is only dazzled by her. I'm sure he
loves me. I"
''What is his name?"
Elizabeth's voice was husky.
''Mark Warren"
The hand with which Miss Chan
ming had been smoothing Ruth's
hair fell to her side, and she moved
away as if struck. Mark Warren!
Her own lover! The man whom she
was expecting that evening to prom
Use to marry her!
A tumult of emotion swept over
her. First a feeling of utter misery,
then one of contempt and disgust for
the man, followed by great wave of
indignation and pity for the forlorn
figure at her side. She arose hastily.
Her resolve was taken. She would
no longer be the cause of unhappi
ness to this girl. No doubt she her.
self would suffer, but now she would
only think of Ruth, who was lying
back in her chair exhausted and tear
full. Elizabeth laid her hand on her
shoulder.
'Don't cry any more, Ruth. 1t will
all come right am sure of it. He
will come back to you, and when he
does receive him as usual Do not
reproach him nor mention the other
woman to him. am leaving for New
York tonight. Jane will have my

Origin and Traits of the Tiger.

cluslvely, and ranges, in suitable sit
uations, from the Amoor to the Is
land of Bali, and from Turkish Geor-
gia to the Island of Saghalin, but
does not exist in Ceylon. In spite Of
the great destruction of tigers in In
Ola they still live, according to Mr..
Blanford, wherever large tracks Of
forests and grass-junglc exist, and
they are specially common i'll the for
ests at the base of the Himalayas
Tigers, at least occasionally, accom-
pany the tigress and her cubs, for
these animals, like lions, are mo-
nogamous. The young remain with
the mothers until nearly or quite full
grown. By day the tiger takes up
it's abode in deep shade, especially in
the hot season, and generally near
water. They swim we'll, and will even
cross arms of the sea, but very rarely
ascend trees. Tigers spring much
less than is popularity supposed, and
rarely move both their hind legs off
the ground. They roar a good deal
less than lions do, although their call
is very similar. Mr.. Blanford says:
When hit by a bullet a tiger gener-
ally roars, but tigresses, or at all
events very often, do not. [ have on
three occasions at least known a tt
gress receive a mortal wound and
pass on without making a sound.
The ordinary food of tigers con-
sists of pigs, deer, antelopes, and
strange to say, porcupines, which one
would think would be rather awk-
ward mouthfuls. They also some
times kill and eat bears and young
gaurs and buffalos, although such
wild cattle, if adult, are more than a
match for the tiger. When hard
pressed during foundations they will
eat fish, tortises, lizards, frogs, and
even locusts. They kill great num-
bers of domestic animals, and some
times live entirely on cattle, and they
have a distinct preference for beef
over mutton. The tiger appears ordi-
narily to kill cattle by clutching the
forequarters with it's paws and then
selling the throat in it's jaws from
underneath and forcing it upward
and backward until the neck is dis
located.
The enormous muscular power Of
the tiger is shown by the way in
which it can transport large carcass
es of oxen over rough ground, some
times lifting the body completely off
the ground A very hungry one will
devour two hinquarters in one night,
but generally remains three or four
days near the carcass, feeding at in
tervals. A tigress with cubs is very
often destructive, partly, it is said, in
order to teach the young tigers to
kill their own prey. Though they
usually do SO kill, they do not dis
dain carrion. Cases are even record
ed of a shot tiger being devoured by
another of it's own species.
The ordinary cattle-eating tiger IS
great coward in the presence Of
man, and often allows himself to be
