yielded and was led off to the big chair
In the corner of the library, where
Richard could perch himself on the
window seat beside her, and where the
other young people were good enough
never to intrude.
Peggy leaned back and let her white
lids 1utter in happy content over her
deep-blue eyes, whereat Richard felt
his last bit of common sense leave him.
Peggy" he asked, leaning danger
ously near her.
Peggy sat up with a little start, and
a half-air of rebellion. Then, all at
once, she felt his eyes burning into
hers, and her courage fed, leaving
a very weak, plant little girl.

Richard.
Peggy closed her eyes again and
gathered together her fast-failing cour-
age with n mighty effort. Don't
she pleaded. Don't, Richard"
His face grew a trifle paler as he
asked; "Why not, little girl?"
Peggy's white cheeks all at once grew
fiery, but she said it.: Because

don't want to hear it,"
Poor Richard! So she knew, after
all, the secret which he had fiattered
himself he had kept from all the world,
most of all from the tiny, pink-and-
white girl whom it most concerned.
Then, all at once, it struck him that
there was a ludicrous side to the stu
alton, and Peggy was amazed to see a
bit of a roguish smile about the corn
ers of his fine mouth, as he asked:
"How do you know that you know
what l was going to say?"
1t was a mean thing for him to do,
and she afterward told him so. Now,
however, she put herself on the de-
fensive as much as possible, and an
swered, ~valiantly:
II do know it; no matter how; and
I don't want to hear it"-then a little
pause. and finally a whispered "just

Richard sprung to his feet with
enough exultation in the movement
to startle her.

AARON BURR'S OLD TANK.
Reminder of a Legislative Charter Trick
Exhumed In New York.

Reminder of a Legislative Charter Trick
Exhumed In New York.
Fol the first time in more than n
generation, Aaron Burr's old tank In
Center street is on public view. The
east wall of the building at the inter-
section of Center and Reade streets,
in which 1t has been housed since the
aqueduct was built, has been taken
down to let the new Elm street through
and the big tank on its stone founda-
ton Is in full sight. Many persons stop
and look at 1t c%uriously in the course
Of the day. They have read Of the
tank and it's history. Their chance
will soon have passed. A new wall
is already being built, and in another
day or two this relic of old New York
will be shut out of sight once more.
The tank was built 100 years ago by
the Sham Water company, whose char
ter Aaron Burr en- gineered through the
legislature of 1899. Masquerading as
a proposition to introduce good drink"
ing water into New York, at that time
its greatest need, it was really a scheme
to establish a bank In the city. There
was OhAJ h"O hClCb Wv thOlV wac q
strong political prejudice against char
tering more. The trick was successful.
The bank Of the Manhattan company
grew great and powerful, and to keep
up the pretense of being a water COM
pany, upon which its charter rested,
the company dug a big well at Reed
and Center streets and built the tank,
to hold the water pumped out of it.
This we'll is still there under the side
walk, and the tank Is always kept
pumped full. The charter of the big
bank rests yet upon it, though ever
the pretense of carrying water was CIV
en- up when the aqueduct was built in
the 40's.
Opposite the well is II Reade street,
the last of the old houses of a day
when fashionable New Workers lived
down town. Tradition has 1t that Aa-
ron Burr had his law office in it. 1t
even points out the spike holes in the
wall by the door where his shingle
swung in sight of his legislative tri-
umph, but as to that there may be
some doubts. OF the genuineness Of
the tank there is none.-New York

Maud Ballington Booth, wife OF the
leader OF the American volunteers, told
the following story recently about her
fsther-in-law. Gen. William Booth of
the Salvation army: My little boy
was looking the other day at a cartoon
In the War Cry. 1t represented Gen.
Booth in a boat upon a stormy sea-
Struggling in the water were the figures
OF men and women Gen. Booth was
holding one of the men By the hand.
The little fellow looked at the picture
a long time and studied 1t carefully.
At last he said: Mamma. 10 grandpa

err, or is he bidding him good-byT I
answered him that grandpa was trying
to pull the man out. 1t had often
seemed TO me that the people who
shake hands with you at the entrance
Of the churches were simply bidding
you a cordial good-by. "-Pittsburg Dis

The Making of Character.

Do not let us suppose that character
requires great circumstances for tho
making. Character can be made in
poor circumstances. There are huge
manufactures In this country, with
magnificent machinery. with chimneys
belching forth clouds of black smoke,
to pollute the air, where they turn out
carpets of most wonderful aspects,
which would almost make you i'll to
look at, and which perish quickly In
the using. Far away in the east, In
some poor little hut, an eastern work
man Is working with threads OF many
oolors beside him; he has been toiling
for years, and when he has finished he
will have turned u q single square Of
such beautiful coloring and such per-
feet workmanship that when 1t comes
to this country 1t will be bought at q
great price. and the owners great
grandchildren will see 1t fresh and
beautiful. So much for the great man
ufactory and the whirling wheels and
the noise and the smoke; SO much for
the quietness and obscurity of a single
workman.-Rev. John Watson. d. d.

Ignorance of easily a~scertainable

which soils a smokers fingers or a
handkerchief through which tobacco
smoke Is exhaled, or Is often noticed
as deposited in the stem Of a pipe.
This tarry deposit has nothing es-
sential in common with nicotine, and
contains but traces of this alkaloid,
when any at all.

one-seventh in the experiments Of

HOW PEGGY LISTENED

Society people might have thought
that it was not exactly up to the high
est notch of elegance, but since the
participants were wholly unconscious
or its shortcomings, what did it matter.
There is a more real weight in the ex-
preston of Ignorance being the great
est bliss where social matters are con-
cerned than in any other condition Of
life. The ordinary little girl, who
slips into a thin gown and dances all
night with "the boys" whom she has
known since childhood, in the simple
ballroom Of a family club finds more
unalloyed enjoyment in the entire pro-
cedure than does the veriest brocade-
clad, jewel-weighted belle, who glides
In stately elegance through the gor-
geous cotillon in the most sparkling
ballroom of n of society's real lead
ers. When the little girl has romped
her cheeks red through a gay cas- ger
man, Or, more frequently, through a
hackneyed waltz, she would open her
big blue eyes in amazement if a frigid
debutante in. the real thing stared at
her as decidedly unconventional. But
the little girl doesn't even dream that
there is any difference between her
dance and the one whose details are
SO exploited in the society columns, so
she Is a thousand times happier than
is her blue-blooded sister, breathing
the atmosphere of wealth and all the
gnawing envies, rivalries and disap-
pointments pertaining thereunto.
Peggy was very pink after the last
dance. Richard always went into that
particular waltz with especial fervor.
Afterward he explained to her that 1t
was because his first dance with her
had been that particular one and she
was tease enough to act as though
she wasn't at all conscious of the par
ticular significance of the thing. So
tonight, when he reluctantly let her
slip from his aims, she hadn't quite
the necessary courage to refuse his
plea hat they Ego somewhere to rest
She knew what that meant. Hadn't
he carried her off to that particular
somewhere" every night since the lit
tie club had begun it's informal fort
nightly dances? Still, she knew that
she would better not go tonight-she
had known for weeks that it was com
ing and this last waltz had convinced
her that it was coming very Dor And
Peggy didn't want it to CONT, at least
not just now, for this was Peggy's first
winter and it seemed a shame for q
girl to tie herself her first season
Then, too, Richard wanted so much
that 1t should come, and there WASH
anything in the world that Peggy
loved SO much as to make Mr.. Richard
wait. 1t didn't matter whether she de.
layed him by taking an unusually Ions
time to adjust her veil when he ha(
called to take her some place in thu
evening, or whether he had to toas
his toes before the fire while she dial
lied ove making his cup of tea, OF

What O ballet Can Do.

AS showing what a bullet can DO, in
the British official regulations for 1898
referring to the present military rife,
the Lee-Metford, 1t is stated that the
mean extreme range Of the bullet may
be taken as about $500 yards, although
with q strongish rear wind, $3.50 yards
has been observed. The bullets find
their way through Joints of walls, I'M
less the walls are made very fine and
set in cement. About $50 rounds, con-
centrated on nearly the same spot at
200 yards, will break a Gin. brick wall,
and about 300 rounds at the same range
will break a lain. brick wall. Rammed
earth gives less protection than loose.

One Of the great troubles that rail-
road companies have had to contend
with in the past with both the old
style and the new NJ. G. B. eouplers
was the falling Of drawbacks on the
tracks, resulting many times in disas-
trous wrecks. A year or two ago the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad adopted
a device to prevent just such occur
rences, and has since attached 1t to all
its passenger equipment. The device
is quite simple, consisting merely Of a
r~ight-angled steel hook, which is
placed Immediately beneath the coup
Ter on the draw-head, with q horizontal
arm projecting slightly at an angle to
the direction of the track. When the
draw-head falls the safety hooks not
only assist in tanning the drawbacks
together but absolutely prevent their
swaying from side to side, and thus
becoming disengaged. The steel hook
is placed in such a position hat it
cannot be damned or broken off in the
coupling of cars.
In actual practice this device has
proved exceedingly satisfactory. and
has not failed in a single instance.
