paper-joke sort, your likeness upon
the plate could not fail to produce the
effect that it has upon-er-men's
hearts, to wit-complete fracture"
why, l am surprised at you," said
Grace, faint blush hardly perceptible
under the healthy tan which she had
found no difficulty in acquiring at
Granite Head.
H. Parker studied her face in its
mock severity and watched the dainty
little hand go up to push back some
annoying hair that blew across her
eyes A great wave Of admiration for
admiration very unlike that with
which he had heard his brilliant class
mates proclaim their knowledge. His
heart told him, 81 love her." Why not
let his heart be heard?
They strolled along together to the
music of the sea. H. Parker felt that
there was melody even in the scream
ing of the gulls overhead. He won
dered why it had never seemed so be-
fore.
LET us sit up there under the big
rock" suggested Grace, pointing to the
nearest of the cliffs which leaned for
ward over the sand and made a cosy
shelter from the sun. Here the sand
tbn ulara cnffnnad and tha
view of cheap cottages and decrepit
bath houses cut off, while the whole
stretch of beach on the right lay be-
fore them like broad white highway.
Grace sat with her back against the
rock, and at her side reclined the doc
| tor, full length upon the sand.
Are you ever serious, Miss Mars
ton?" quoth he with but trace of
that quality in his own tone.
Sometimes"
ION what rare occasions would it be
possible for one to find you in that
| mood?"
ooh, well, I'm not naturally so, you
know, but once in while when some
thing goes wrong to induce it l get
very serious-even blue-and as l al
ways end by finding out what silly,
useless creature am, there is very lit
| tie enjoyment in being serious. Please
let's not be serious, Mr.. Baxter"
Never more light-minded in my
life, Miss Marston-never. But tell me
how you deduct your conclusion which
proves you a silly, useless creature. /

reasoning"
"Well, unless because I live use

winter. Just look it through and see
IL you find anything accomplished,
anything improving or worthy. Dances
-calls-teas, over and over again. Do
you call that sort of thing living? The
people meet day by day there; do
know them, are they friends, do they
know me? No, it's all vanity-artif-
cial-a waste of time"
Grace was serious enough now and
her brows as dark as any that ever
lowered there
A pause and her companion spoke.
ut may be vanity for some, but not
for you, Miss Marston. Society fur
nishes field for superficial character
to breed and thrive in, but yours is
good and strong and sincere"

coffee as corffee), talk in this way,
thought it was right. Still this would
be only in conversation. Writing to
anyone, saying had bought anything,
l should put "of Jones" or from
Jones'" l suppose from Jones" would
be perfectly correct. 1 have heard this
form of speech in many different parts
of the country, but most frequently. 1
think, in and near Liverpool. The
use of "off" for 'of" and "off Of" is
common in the north of England.

well, II those fellows are coming
around to see the old year out they
had better show up pretty soon"
gawned H. Parker Baxter as he slam
med down the cover Of ponderous
and gruesome medical book and turned
pair of sleepy eyes to the clock, which
was complacently ticking away the
last fifteen minutes of '9S. No other
sounds were to be heard, save the oc-
casional settling of the fire in the
crate. for the snow lay deep and soft
over the cobble and flagstone outside.
The old year, after stormy life, was
dying calmly and beautifully.
To our friend Baxter, one of these
Join in," this ancient ceremony of
seeing the old year out appealed but
feebly. He used to say Of New Years,
an arbitrarily fixed point in time
which has become the inaugural date
Tor good resolutions, to the necessary
neglect Of all other dates for their
formation" but most of his friends
thought this simply speech that he
was gratified to make. He was trying
hard to pose as rising young phys
2cian," and was really acting the part
10 himself, as many an ambitious man
will do.
But however this may be, as the
seconds licked along, H. Parker grew
10 catt1o6
himself back in the chair, stared at the
fire, and blinked. Then his eyelids
dropped.
This will never do" says he,
Strengthening up with a jerk and
reaching out to the table for something
to read or look at, Il must keep awake
a few minutes longer" Chance put
stack of photographs under his hand,
and though they were stale enough he
began to look them over again-inci-
-dentally yielding to the comfort of ~
ing back in the big chair. Some were
portraits of his friends at school and
college, some were old faded prints
that ought to have had romances at
tached, but which were really very
prosaic, even to him. Others bore the
brand of the amateurs first attempt
these to be passed by quickly; few
were the products of his own photo
graphic skill at Granite Head last sum-
mer-bathers in the surf, the hotel, a
clam bake, etc-all very fair photo
graphs in their way-but hold! here
is one that might be studied critically.
There is no hurry. It is too late now
for the jewellers to come. H. Parker
shifts to still more comfortable posi-
ton and the soft lamp light shines
over his shoulder upon as pretty lit
tie picture as you would ask to see.
1t is the picture of a dark-haired girl,
dressed in suit of duck. She is stand
ing on a log of driftwood with her
hands behind her and her handsome,
happy face turned squarely to the cam
era. In the developing of this pic
ture III. Parker had conceded that more
care was required than in ordinary
work; he had watched its delicate lines
appear with the enthusiasm Of true
lover Of the chemists art. With any
other passion? Possibly. but that was
past and gone four months 1go.
The young doctor liked that photo
graph, somehow. He had examined it
time and again until he knew its every
detail. 1t did not grow stale like the
others. But tonight there seemed to
be new light upon it, new tone in
Ehe unlicensed background of sand and

One of these extraordinary cases
that police work in India occasionally
brings to light came to notice recently
almost accidentally, in district of the
northwest provinces. Two constables,

had murdered his wife. They took
the man to the police station at onca,

CHICAGO, August 22-September
liquidation was the feature of wheat
trading to-day 1t was heavy enough
to cause an early decline of SIC at one
time. Renewed rains in the Northwest
alarmed shorts and all but 1sc of the
decline was recovered. December was
firmer and closed sc firmer. Country
liquidation cut 14c off the price of
corn. Oats held we'll and closed about
1sc higher. Provisions made unim-
portant changes.
Some weakness was shown at the
opening in wheat Both the Septem-
Der and December options opened about
kc lower and showed a declining ten
dency. The weakness was not so much
the result of bear news as of the gen.
eral apathy of trading. Spectators ap-
peared to be in the market more from
sense of duty than from the hope of
