CHAPTER II.

Miss Patience had heard the thought
less words. She handed over the shin
ing garlands on mistletoe to the merry
girls who ran into the library for them,
then dropped her hands listlessly into
her lap as she looked far away through
the window-not at the holiday sights
without. but down long vista of years
1t a girlhood as gay and impulsive as
Gracie's and Nellie's own. It was not
so strange that they should laugh at
the idea of any one caring to surprise
Aunt Patience under the mistletoe
bough. nor that to their sixteen or
seventeen years thirty-five should seem
a period Of life entirely remote from
all thought Of romance.
When hearts are fresh and sympa-
thetic and loving. as Miss Patience had
always been, the touch Of years falls
lightly. But 1t had come to her once
before, q kind Of revelation, this real
ization that youth was past. An old
time friend, one of those overhonest
persons who must say the truth and
the whole truth even at q venture Of
saying a little more. on meeting her

mot callers. hope" and it was with
a gesture of impatience that she took
the card the servant brought in. But
her face frightened as she glanced at
the elegant script.
"Oh, it's Miss Fairlee! Show her
right up here"
Indeed, Miss Patience" she safd,
impulsively. when she had seated her
visitor in the warmest corner, Il don't
think any one else would be quite so
welcome as yourself this afternoon.
You always seem so glad to see people
happy, and am very happy indeed"
There was, by way of emphasis. =
little wave Of one pretty hand. and
Miss Patience was not slow to discover
that it was meant as we'll to direct at
tention to the ring that sparkled on the
third finger.
You see," as she grew more con-
fdential, will said he meant to wait
until tomorrow, but he couldn't. and
as the bright color rose in her face
Il am very glad he did not. for I am
SO happy"
Miss Patience went down to the
street again feeling that, in a certain
sense, her calls were likely to prove
failure.
There was a furry of snow in the
air, and she turned homeward.
Il might just as WELL" she thought,
'for clearly am not in accord with
the season, nor with other people"
She was annoyed and impatient with
herself, for, try as she would, she could
not forget that in that far-away time
she had been a little unjust to Robert.
She had been proud of him, ambitious
for him; but how proud of him and
how dear his success would be to her
she had not let him know. And he.
high-spirited and sensitive. had misun-
derstood.
Twas nothing, really nothing more
than "trifes light as air." but there
had opened that breach between them,
and he had gone of West somewhere.
The letter she was tempted to write
and which. she left sure. would have
brought him home again fast enough.
she had been little too proud to write.
and now she did not even know where
he was. His own family had not heard

HE WANTED TO START RIGHT.
Fees the Conductor to Insure the
 Comforts of the Road.


 On one of the South Halsted street cars, when it left the neighborhood of the stock yards the other morning, was a man with a brand new valise that had splashes of mud on it and gave other evidence of having just arrived in Chi cago, says the Tribune. The man wore black felt hat and a large checked suit, and there was mud enough on his heavy boots to show he had just trayersed portion of the stock yards. He boarded the car at Thirty ninth street, put his valise on the seat beside him, and when the conduct stopped to take his fare he pulled out roll of bills.
 The conductor extracted a nickel from one dollar bill and handed over the change. The man with the valise extracted silver quarter dollar from the change aud handed it back to the conductor.
 "Eere,'' he said, so loudly that every one in the car looked to see what was going on, there's quarter for your self"
 "I've taken out a nickel" said the con- ductor. q don't want any more."
 "Now, don't say another word, friend" replied the passenger. My wife told me before I left Kansas City I'd get along a good deal better in Chi cago if I tipped everybody, and I'm go- ing to start with you. You take that quarter like little man and do the best you can by me on this trip and don't say anything more or I'll make it q half"

A COLLEGE FOR LOVERS.

Such an Institution Is Needed for
 Training E1cn tn Love Making.
 Miss Lillian Bell, who has won fame as an authoress, her last book being "A Little Sister of the Wilderness" is of the opinion that some one should found q college for training men in loye-mak- ing. This is how she expressed herself in a recent interview:
 "I suggested once kindergarten for the training of husbands. Now I want to change that and have college for lovers, with a postgraduate course for husbands. As it is now-well, almost any girl can do almost anything with a man. You know how easily one girl can rob another girl of her lover. He, poor blind being, never suspects it. A girl would know in a minute if another man was trying to win her from her lover. She has munitions like antennae which tell her the very nature of every ap- proach But with man it is different. He sees only a sympathetic soul' in the girl who leads him away by all the delib- crate arts of which she is mistress. But there! one can go on all day talking about these things. Everybody likes to talk about love. People ask me if I am not 'uplifted' by the success have had, but tell them it was not any great in spiration on my part. When l began to talk of love I had the ear of the world"

Turtle ns a Fox rTrap.

C. R. Perry, of Herrick, Pa, has been fattening 2o-pound snapping turtle all winter. One Sunday his turtleship was taken out of the barrel and allowed to wander about the yard. Early one morning recently Perry was aroused by the noise of scuf1e in the yard. Re- pairing there, he found the turtle hang ing to the nose of a big fox, which had been stealing from the henneries in the vicinity for a month. Br'er Fox was near the fence endeavoring to get over, but his efforts were blocked by the turtle. Eventually the fox reached the next yard, but Farmer Perry followed and shot him dead. The turtle all the time retained his hold and refused to let go until the foX's nose was cut off. Then it crawled back to it's home, car rying the nose with it as a trophy.

EASTER BREAD AND CHEESE.
Origin of n Custom Still Maintained in
 Quiet English Village.


 An old ceremony which links the pres ent with an epoch as nearly distant as the Norman conquest has been duly ob- served in the quiet village of Biddenden, in Kent. near Ashford. England. Easter was celebrated by the distributing by the vicar and church wardens of cakes of gingerbread among visitors to the place, while the residents were regaled with hunks of bread and cheese For nearly 900 years these doles or gifts have been dispensed, although now all idea of charity has practically disap- peared, and the distribution is used more for an occasion of conviviality and ale drinking than for the pious commemoration of the two maids of Biddenden who founded the feast. These ladies were Eliza and Mary Chulkhurst, who lived at the beginning of the twelfth century and were joined together like the Siamese twins. One died day after the other, and they left bit of land, of which the rental is about $200 year, to perpctuate fund for the distribution of bread and cheese at Easter. The dolcs are all stamped with likeness of the two maids, with their names and the dates of their birth and demise. Many peo- pie go to Biddenden for the express purpose of getting a cake and preserv- ing it as a curiosity.

Nansen Owns and Cherishea One of
 the Wonders of the World.
 One day wonderful bird tapped at the window of Mrs. Nansen's home at Christiania. Instantly the window was opened and the wife of the famous Arctic explorer in another moment GOV cred the little messenger with kisses and caresses. The carrier pigeon had been away from the cottage 30 long months, but 1t had not forgotten the way home. It brought note from Nansen stating that all was going well with him and his expedition in the polar regions.
 Nansen had fastened message to carrier pigeon and turned the bird loose. The frail courier darted out into the blizZardy air. It flew like an arrow over q thousand miles of frozen waste, and then sped forward over another thousand miles of ocean and plains and forests, and one morning entered the window of the waiting mistress and de- livered the message which she had been awaiting so anxiously.
 We boast of human pluck, says the New York Mail and Express, sagacity and endurance, but this loving little ca arrier pigeon, in its homeward flight after an absence of 30 months, accom- plished a feat so wonderful that we can only give ourselves up to the amaze ment and admiration which must over- whelm everyone when the marvellous story Is told. Mrs. Nansen's pigeon is one of the wonders of the world.

Ways of Steering Boats in England,
 France and Germany.
 A com parison of the different meth ods of doing what is practically the same thing in various parts of the world is both interesting and amusing to the thoughtful observer, says Cassier's Magazine. On American ferryboats the import is we'll known of the "ting-ting" or ''jingle-jingle" of the bell by which the man in the wheelhouse comm uni cates with his fellow mortal in the en- zine room. On the Thames, however, it would be considered practically i'm possible to convey information in this manner, and the captains of the small paddle steamers on that stream stand On the paddle boxes and sing out: Ease !""Bacll 'er!" etc., apparently to nobody in particular, while these in- teresting remarks are promptly repeat ed in shrilf tones by a small boy into speaking tube which communicates with the lower regions. On the Seine, in France, this process is simplified and a large trumpet-shaped mouth piece flares out in front of the man at the wheel, and he yells his commands into this funnel the other end of which is supposed to reach the engineer. The large steamers on the Rhine, in Ger many, are controlled, not by the usual wheel placed in the wheelhouse for ward, but by very large wheel on a vertical axis, placed right amidships upon an elevated platform or bridge, and several men pass the handles from right to left, or upon occasion trot round in a circle. and it would doubt less be considered serious temptation of Providence, or at least a re- fection upon the fatherland, if anyone were to attempt to construct Rhine steering gear.
