happy for the good old doctor, who,
with the picture of his lost love resting
on his still warp heart, went about
from one to the other, rubbing his
hands at the joyful reunion Of his
friends and her children.
Happy! Aye, with a reG, shy, won
drous happiness for Fannie, who had
disappeared in the conservatory, early
in the evening with Laurence Grey,
and had emerged with such glowing
cheeks and sparkling eyes that Sybil
had kissed her, and whispered, out of
her own full heart, glad congratula-

Happy! All, happiest of all for Her
bert, as, with the one love of his life
clinging to his arm. with her sweet
face upturned to his, and her beautiful
eyes fearlessly revealing her pure soul,
she removed the veil from the past,
and showed him all the sorrow, the
heart-break, the despair that had stood
like grim barrier between her and
the sunshine.
"Yet you loved me through ala" he

They looked above, and. in the dark
blue heaven, its pale, pure radiance
seemed to light love onward to it's true

Her Hearts
Secret
BY JEAN WARNER.

held-the packet sent back to her with
out word or sign, by the man who,
with ardent vows and passionate en-
treaties, had won her warm, young
heart.
Had he, indeed, Won it? For mo-
ment the girl looked at the fragments
OF her first love-dream with glittering
eyes and heaving breast; then, with
proud gesture, she swept all into the
flames leaping and cracking on the
hearth before her.
at is what 1 might have known
what 1 might have expected" she
said, in a hard, dry voice. 'Thank
God-aye, thank God-who has saved
ME from my own foolish hearth
"The scoundrel! the villain!' ut
tered Herbert, between his clenched
teeth. by heaven, he shall answer to
me for this! Does he think my arm is
palsied-my hand is tied?"
But the young mans passionate out
burst was stopped by a kiss-a kiss,
aye, and from rosy, smiling lips, that
had no culver Of pain.
He is not worth an angry word,
dear brother-he is not worth a re-
gretful thought. was too foolish
then to know the gold from the gild-
ing. Dear brother, you and-and Lau-
renee have taught me wisdom since.
Why should 1 mourn for that which
fire can destroy? The pure gold, triply
proved in the crucible, is still mine
own
She pointed to the glowing hearth
before her. The letters, tress, NINA
ture, all were ashes; but in the flames
the little locllet showed itself-a mass
of pure, molten gold, shaped like rug
ged heart.
And Fannie smiled. A memory
stirred within her breast that made
her heart a prophesy-the true gold
was all her own.

CARRYING THEIR CARTRIDGES.
For This Purpose the Beers Use n
Receptacle Called n BandOlier in
Their Native TONGUE


Receptacle Called n Bandolier in
Their Native Tongue.
The ordinary Boer method of carry
ing cartridges, as is well known, is in
a bandolier, either fitted for single
cartridges or, in the case Of the Maui
ser, to hold clips of five. The former
system has been widely adopted al
ready by our troops. But the plan for
quick-loading and the perfection of a
cartridge-carrier must be awarded to
the waistcoats which were in use by
the better class of Beers. These are
made Of khaki and supplied with
twenty-four pockets in several rows,
closely touching one another, and each
containing a clip full Of five Mauser
cartridges. This waistcoat has only
to be seen for it's advantages to be in,
stantly appreciated The weight is
evenly distributed, the cartridges are
easily got at and not liable to be lost,
and, lastly, the whole surface of the
closely-packed cartridges forms a pro,
tective shield over the heart and lungs
by no means to be despised, for, al
though not proof against a direct hit
it would probably turn many bullet
striking at an angle.-Saturday Re.

Crossing the Famous Bovery.

People seldom walk across the Bow
cry nowadays. AS general thing,
they put aside their dignity and run
from curb to curb in zig-zag fashion,
lodging under the nose Of a horse,
darting across the bows Of q car, max
ing flying leap across the gutter and
landing on the opposite sidewalk
breathless but safe. AS the middle Of
the street is taken UP by four trolley
tracks, the trucks and wagons are
crowded toward either curb, and it
takes a pedestrian with good nerves to
make his way across without being
forced into a run
A reporter riding down the Bowery
in car the other morning saw ninety
persons cross the thoroughfare in six
blocks. OF these ninety, seventy ran
fair speed, while the remaining TWEEN
ty walked as fast as their dignity
would permit-New York Mail and

Girls Essay on Bows.

At recent school examination for
girls, this composition was handed in
by girl of twelve:
''The boy is not an animal, vet they
can be heard to considerable dis
lance. When boy hollers he opens
his big mouth like frogs, but girls hold
their tongue till they are spoken to-,
and then they answer respectable and
tell just how it was. A boy thinks
himself clever because he can wade
where the water is deep. When the
boy grows up he is called a husband,
and then he stops wading and stays
out nights. but the grown-up girl is a
widow and keeps house."-New York

OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
Old Man Gave in When He Saw That
His Daughter Meant Business.

c, j. Hampton, in Washington star
The older man was the father of the
woman in the case; the younger was
the man who wanted to marry her.
The younger was the average young
man seeking a wfe-no better, no
worse.
Why the father did not want him as
his sOn-in-law must be answered by
other fathers who have felt as this
one did. Perhaps there is no answer
so when the younger man came the
older man was prepared to meet him
as one who was by no means first in
his estimation. The younger man was
aware of the older's feelings, but quite
dsregarded it.
Perhaps it is the only successful
method of treatment under the circum-
stances.
That the young man was Conceited
goes without saying, but he was not
an isolated example, as any one may
know who knows young men.
'Well?" greeted the father, when the
suitor appeared in his presence.
Il fancy YOU know sir why l am
here" responded the caller. "As you
may be aware, it is to ask your con-
sent to the marriage of your daughter
to me-"
'Nell?" said the father with an in
Election which did not bode well.
Il understand that you do not look
favorably upon me as the husband of
your daughter, and l want to assure
you that am no. here on my own be-
half but upon hers"
"Sir!" exclaimed the father, half ris-
ing.
on hers, sir, | said" the amazing
young man went on. "She loves me.
and to lose me would break her neart.
| love her, but not as she loves me.
You know one must love more strongly
than the other, and it is ner misfor-
tune to be the stronger i'm this in
stance. Neither of us is to blame. If
! had loved her as she loves me, my
love would have made me afraid to
FISK my hopes by asking your consent.
AS II Is, | come to you in confidence,
believing that you love your daughter
so much better than you do me that
you Will sacrifice your own feelings

BY this time the father was indig-
nant and violent
You are the most conceited ass [

| are not out of here in two minutes you
you will be kicked out"
"All of which may be as you saw"
replied the suitor; but | am telling
you the plain truth. If you will kind
ly refer the matter to your daughter,
you viii greatly oblige her"
As the father rose from his chair
the young man walked out
The next day he called on the young
man.

cerning you since yesterday,"he said
rather pleasantly than otherwise" and
