A young woman committed suicide
in New York City the other day, and
her reason for so doing, as explained
by her relatives, was that she worried
because she was plain and nobody
asked her to marry, This girl had
doubtless never been told that hand
some is as handsome does" She hat
never read charitable essays writer

that very ugly women have married

Of men, observes Harper's Bazaar. She

Joella said idly, for the sake Of saying
something:
There comes somebody up the hill

"Well, ne isn't coming here" re-
sponded Klzzy. "Aunt Susan doesn't

reply "and this is Kizzy? l am your
cousin, Luke Trent, from Colorado.
Do you think you would have known
me without an inroduction?"
Il don't believe we should. Cousin
Luke answered Joella, cordially, al
though a little shyly. "You see. we
weren't sure you were coming, from
your last letter and / doa't think that
last photograph you sent gran'ther is
a very good likeness. We didn't know

1T wasn't sent without your knowl-
edge, anyway" said Kizzy, bluntly,
"aud you'd better not let granther
know you've forgotten the letter that
came with it. He thought great deal
Of what you wrote, and he's pretty
touchy."
"Touchy, is he?' sa Il Luke. "Well,

A recent special dispatch from Lon
don gives the following serious story:
1t has been discovered that London's
"two-penny tube" as the new under
ground electric railway is called con-
fers another benefit besides transit.
The enervated and debilitated are now
resorting to it as 4 means Of restoring
lost appetite. This strange suggestion
was first made by a gentleman who
AYERS he had suffered from loss Of ap.
petite for eighteen months, but who,
the first day he Travelled in the "two.
penny tn, e." reached home rayenous,
and has maintained an appetite ever
since by the taking Of a journey every
two or three days. This tonic is as.
crlbed to the ozone generated by the
electricity.

What's the matter OF ye?" he in
Quired, testify. Forgot all We ever
knew I should say. Your mother
used to play like an angel when she
was your age"
Yes, sir" said Nizzy, meekly. She
tried again, Joella softly hunming the
air for her as a guide, but presently
she stumbled and stopped.
What's that| He had been doing,
but he looked up sharply. "Joelly,
you jest leave Kcziah be- She can't
play with you standin' there close up
against her. You come over here by
me-"
Joella came, but before Kizzy could
begin again he stopped in the very act
Of settling himself more comfortably
and glared at the unhappy haTpist.
"SOmethin' wrong with your hair"
he declared. what you been doin
to it,?
Curling it," said Eizzy mouInfully.
"Curlin' it! Why, it don't curl no
mOren poker! That's what's the
matter of it, Your mothers hair never
looked all stringy and wlspy like yours
Nor Joelly's don't You ought TO
learn to fix it neater-call sech things

IF yOu'C let me wear it straight--"
Kizzy began, but gran'ther snorted.
Nonsense! There's nothin' so pretty
as curls-curls that's curly. Don't tell
me I've got a sirl too lazy to curl her
hair 'Taint much to do, jest to bresh

of times. All the Popp womenfolks

MY Aunt Joella didn't, and my

tiously, but the Old man took her up at

lie settled back once more In his
chair and fell asleep, and poor Kizzy,
touching the strings softly and more
softly, managed not to disturb him
again with her blunders. When he
was sleeping too soundly to be walk
ened by the melody ceasing, she put
down the harp, and the girls stole from
the room. Passing out of the house
they seated themselves under a great
elm, round the bole Of which a circu-
lar seat had been built.
Isn't 1t lovely out-of-dOors? Good
gracious how / do hate that harpm
breathed Kizzy, vindlctlyely, and then
both fell silent and allowed the peace
Of the landscape, the sunset hour and
the golden September weather to steal
gradually over thelg spirits. At last

joyed his pleasure in its treasures and
curiosities. lie was especially ardent
in his admiration Of the family silver
1T is pretty" she agreed, watching
him as he handled her favorite cream
jug and sugar bowl. The Popps have
always been little eXtrayagant in sill
yer, and I'm not sorry. Kizzy thinks
so much of that pitcher she says she
doesn't consider It properly cleaned till
she can look in it and count her eye
lashes."
Luke's enthusiasm soon won the lik-
ing Of all the household except Kizzy,
who pcrversely contided to Joella that
she could not endure him, and refused
to give any other reason than that
his hair was shiny-slick and the toes
Of his boots too narrow. Moreover, he
had praised her playing when she
could see he knew better.
The next morning, regardless Of his
presence, she came defantly to break
fast with her hair in curl-papers.
Joella, as fresh as a blue morning
glory in her dainty gingham and yell
low curls, demonstrated in vain. There
was an ngry CLEAN in Kizzy's gray
eyes, and her red bead bristled in all
directions with irregular paper knobs.
But soon a buggy came in sight, iden-
titled at 4 distance by the projecting
legs Of the camera as that Of the vii
lage photographer, who was coming
to take gran'ther and the household

Luke had left the room, and Nizzy,
as she ran upstairs to let down her
hair, knocked at his door to tell him
that granther wished him TO be in
cluded in the picture. He called in
answer that he was sorry, but that he
had Just been seized with a violent
nOsebleed, and that they had better
not wait. This message Klzzy dellv-
cred, and the photograph was taken
without him. When it was completed
the photographer wished to try sec

KizZy to see if there was anything
she could do for Luke
salt and water and a cold key down
his back she thought, and turned to-
ward the dining-room to get the salt;
but as she approached it she was star
tied by faint jingle Of silver. There
should have been none there. She
knew that the whole household were
at the front Of the house, intent on the
group to be photographed. She
stepped into the doorway. Cousin
Luke was there, his valise in his hand,
ana the silver was no longer on the
dresser. The two stared at each other.
Klzzy's heart thumped. Was her cou-
sin n thief? Her fear was that he
would run with whatever was in that
bag. Her first thought was not to ap.
pear TO suspect him.

"You look pale. I'll get It," she an,
swered. She poured some water from
pitcher on a side table. He took It
and lifted the glass to his lips. As he
did so she stepped carelessly a few
PAGES toward the window, near which
he had set down his valise as she en-
tered. She picked the valise up,
opened il, and looked in. He saw her,
and throwing the glass down with a
crash and an oath, sprang toward her
She was too quick for him, and before
he could snatch at the valisc in the
depths of which cleaned the precious
silver she had flung it Ear through the
window, lie could not leap after it.
There was a sunken cellar door below,
with descending steps ana n brick
pavement which would have made the
attempt dangerous.
I'm your cousin" he said, sullenly,
after pause. Don't call You don't

so. But it won't be safe for you if

IIizzy was thinking fast; the threat
decided her.

He ran then. She followed, but was
only i'm time to see him spring into the
photographers buggy that stood at the
gate and drive furiously away. She
saw that he had escaped, and went
slowly round the house for the silver,
feeling very queer and weak. Then
she came to the porch with the valise
in her hand and told her story. They
were sin wondering and eXclaiming
when, hardly fifteen minutes later, a
carriage came in SIGHT, and behind it
and fastened to it with a rope, was
the buggy Of the photographer. Three
men alighted and hurried to the house.
1t was all explained very quickly.
The thief, who was not Luke, but a
young man of about his coloring and
build, had Travelled with the real Luke
and had drawn from him sufficient in
formation concerning family treasures
and family affairs to suggest the
scheme which had so nearly succeeded.
At n junction where it was necessary
to change cars he had given Luke false
information, leading him to take the
wrong trcin and be carried to a remote
village. Luke had however taken a
special excursion train which Glanced
to run that morning. In riding up
from the station with farmer he
had encountered the thief driving the
photographers buggy. The farmer
had recognized this, and Luke had rec

him and then disappeared. Suspect
