"But to-night-to-night, before sleep,

II was impossible to sit there, yet he
would not have her think that she drove

bill, and very slowly made the usual
preparations for departure; but when,

December, for he had already sent the
order to Sam and his wife. But was
that all there was of home?

him back-back to sleep and bath and
breakfast. But even that would in

servants in the house to annoy them.

what is there, after all, in this going
home that I've been longing for?" he
asked himself, and the loneliness in
him answered: Nothing"
He was sitting at one of the little
tables, smoking, in that wondrously
picturesque garden stretching between
the broad and beautiful Chiaja and the
incompatible Bay Of Naples.
San Martino looked down from the
hill behind; Capri lay bright dot on
the blue water, and flashed, as the sun
went down, like diamond set in o
mirror of ruby and sapphire. The black
murderer of Pompeii and Herculaneum
drew a royal Tyrian mantle about his
rugged sides and shrank away in the
deepening gloom till only his grim,
lava shadow stood in the cleaning
against the sky, under the eternal pill
lar Of smoke, and down the long garden
10000 lamps flashed out, enhancing its
marvellous beauty.
Even the waters seemed happy as
they dispensed the delicious creams
and fragrant coffee to those sitting at
the tables. From the grand pavilion
one of the finest of italian orchestras
rendered such music as might almost
have thrilled the frozen souls of the
marble gods and goddesses.
In the extravaganza of dreams Rob-
ert Stanton dreamed, not Of the home
that would be, but of the home that
might be. He dreamed of Esther
Thorndike there, his wife-his real
wife.
Suddenly the bankers daughter
usurped the place, and the home
changed to his Office. He heard he1

'She is here" he muttered, and, turn
Ing as though some one had spoken, he
looked, as he knew that he should look,
directly into her eyes. And yet it
caught his breath, and for a moment
he could not move.
Her father was beside her, at one of
the little tables, He was listening to
the music.
She seemed unconscious, almost as
though asleep and dreaming, dream
ing some delightful dream from which
1t would be cruelty to rouse her.
For moment Stanton's very life
seemed to stand still-as boat at the
vortex of the Norwegian pool stops
for an instant, shudders, draws back
handbreadth, then plunges and is en-
quilted. And the whirling pool was
those flashing eyes.
1t would have been easy to make the
plunge. 1t required a superhuman
struggle to drag himself back from the
spell.

THE cHILDREN's LAND.
Certainly Is Most Remarkable
Community.


On tract of land nearly 1000 acres
In extent, and situated about six miles
north of Las Cruces and about so miles
north of Ell Paso, in New Mexico, is the
most remarkable community in the
world. Here a fraternity, with new
civilization, new religion and Bible
of it's own, is being reared, with the idea
of the perfectability of the human race,
which was the dream of it's founder.
From the raw material of castaway in
fants and foundlings a new kind of peo-
pie is intended to result.
The adults composing this communi-
ty are spiritualists and vegetarians,
but the children reared under this
strange system are the chief hope of
the believers. 1t is they, and not the
grown men and women who live in the
Shalam, who are to demonstrate to the
world the possibility of new economic
and social fraternity. Through them
earth is to be regenerated and man led
out of the darkness of the competitive
system into one where private prop
erty, If not wholly abolished, is made
subject to sort of communism with
which writers of the order of Mr.. Bel
lamy have made us familiar.
The founder of this community was
DR.. Newbrough, New York dentist
and spiritualist, who died in 1890. He
wrote a mammoth work, which Is the
Bible of the sect. and is called ''Oahspe," :"
word meaning earth, air and sky in
a language spoken before the flood. 1t
is said to have been written on the type
writer by DR.. Newbrough, his hands
being guided by supernatural beings,
and was printed without being read by
the doctor. 1t is certainly work with
out counterpart, filed with extraordi-
nary phrases and with more peculiar
illustrations, but it is the sacred book
of a unique community, which was
founded to establish the religion it
teaches, and out of the spiritual and
economic doctrines set forth therein
to found a new race. And the few who
constitute the fraternity not only fol-
low its economic doctrines and refrain
from considering anything as theirs
they call themselves "Kosmons," which
is said to signify in the language of
their sacred scriptures non-owners of
any and everything; but the children
are taught to revere the book as the
inspired dogma of their religion.
The community of Shalam is called
''the children's land" and number of
buildings have been erected. The chill
dren's building, built of brick, is the
largest; the fraternum of adobe is an
other. The walls of the latter are hung
with number of the most extraerdi-
nary pictures ever painted. the work
Of pr, Newbreugh.
The greatest care Is exercised in
bringing up the children, who, under
special law of New Mexico, are adopted
by the ''faithists," as the rules of
Shalam call themselves, and become
thenceforth their children. The young
er children are taught by kindergarten
methods, and the older ones are in
structed in such trades as they show
liking for. At q suitable age" they
are taught spirit communion. There
is so much, however. that Ia reasonable
and practical in the tuition and regimen
prescribed that one Is inclined to over
look the extravagances.-Joseph d.
Miller, in Every Month.

QUEER BARGAIN COUNTER.
Where Live Frogs Are Sold by the
Dozen to Anglers for
Bait.

The most remarkable counter in any
department store lately closed its bust
ness after q summer of astonishing
prosperity. It is located in the sporting
goods department of one of the largest
of the retail establishments of the city,
In the corner devoted to fishing tackle
The stock In trade of this counter is
frogs, not dressed ready for the table,
but very much alive and kicking, and
covered with the slime of their native
marshes. The frogs are small, too-just
right for bait for the greedy black bass
and pickerel of the streams and lakes
around Chicago. They are sold to
anglers at 25 cents dozen, and the de-
mand is immense.
On the day before the Fourth of July
this counter disposed of 800 dozen live
frogs. Three attendants were kept
busy all day catching them and hand
ing them out. Many other days showed
sales as high as 300 to 500 dozen. With
the close of good fishing weather in
week or two the counter will be shut up
for the winter.
The frogs are kept in the store in
large wire-netting cage, covering six or
eight feet of the counter top. A shallow
painful of water and weeds afford them
congepial surroundings, in which they
appear 20 thrive. They are fed regular
ly. At night, the employees of the ateFe
say, the frogs hold most musical seirees,
Patrons are served their frogs In small
GOTTEN bags, filled with kicks and
squirms. The stock is replenished
daily by new frogs, caught in the
marshes few miles from Chicago. The
novelty has proved such success that
IL will likely be adopted by all of the
large retail establishments next sum-

smile, remarked:

disappointment:
