Hooper shrank from the task. but
the judge insisted. When he had fin
ished and was ready to sign, there
came a tap at the door and a stranger
was ushered in. He locked the door
after him, and the judge had a low
conversation with him. The confess
sion was duly signed and witnessed.
1t set forth Hooper's necessity to
obtain funds further than those avail
able. and how he had taken from time
to time, showing Rand fictitious notes,
so that Rand had every reason to sup
pose the bank was making loans.
In short, he had made the entries
in perfect good faith, and then when
the stealing was made known he had
kept silence, remembering all the ben
efts received. 1t was. of course, a
questionable thing for him to do, but
there was no doubling the nobility Of
the mans character.
That night the judge started for
home. There the next day he laid the
confession before the governor and
his council, who took the preliminary
steps to release Rand.
That evening Ned Grant called, say.
ing he had failed to find the Judge at
home, on previous evenings. He knew
enough of law to appreciate some
things the judge told him.

IN REALM
Hints for the Ladies' on the 5iOdss
for the Winter SEM
son.

Stylish young women are wearing
with their winter shirt waists of silk,
satin or cloth, in cream, c~herry-red
and other colors, the stiff stock of our
revolutionary ancestors seen in min
iatures and in larger portraits. The
style has been repeated not quite lit
orally, but effectively, in black satin,
to wear with every sort Of waist, in
black and white effects and in pretty
bright color melanges, with gray, tar
and similar waists of neutral fabric.
1t has the appearance of a scarf car
ried twice around the neck and tied
in u bow in front above the high col
lar band, which is stiff enough to keep
the folds of the bias silk or ribbon IN
place.
There is nothing in practical MILL
merry this season that is more stylish,
unobtrusive and ladylike than the
toques and English walking hats, par
ticularly in black, with their fasn-
ionable decoration of sable plumes.
Another satisfactory and becoming
choice is the medium-sized round hat
with all lace, buckle and floral garni-
ture eliminated, and nothing used but
velvet loops and full, handsome ostrich
feathers. Those shown in the shops
for conservative wearers are notably
attractive, as they present no erratic
dents or startling outlines, neither do
they swoop low on M side of the
face and curve to the top of the head
on the other after the style of some of
the astonishing but very fashionable
shapes now worn. When not wholly
straight and fat of brim the hats arch
gracefully on each side above the tenn
Piles, and this slight lifting allows for
some artistic bits of decoration under
the brim just above the waves of hair
"a becoming touch of color always re-
lieving the dull, somewhat heavy ap-
pearance Of a black hat, particularly
with a woman of pale or dark COM
plexion. Exception, however, can very
often be made in ordering a black vel
vet hat, which is almost invariably i'm
proving in its effect.
This year there appear to be quite
as many attractions among exhibit
tons for the matron al for her youth
full daughter. She has no need, there
fore, to look longingly upon the
dainty, exquisite gowns, wraps and
picture hats not meant for her, when
the rich materials and stately, ele-
CANT garments are quite as attractive
ly and far more appropriately set
forth for her special benefit. All the
prevailing styles can with perfect pro-
priety be worn by gray-haired women
if the fabrics and shades are carefully
toned and selected. Single rich colors
and but few decorations are the best
choice for elderly women. and it is
well to add that careful attention to
the minor details of the toilet and ex-
treme neatness are the very first
requisites in the attractive ensemble
of a toilet or costume for young OF
old.-N. Y. Post.

ASKED TO TEACH THE QUEEN.
How a Young Jevcss from America
Lost m Interesting OPP
p~ortunity.

"This is a brand new STITCH" said the
young woman, holding up a dainty
piece of embroidery, land if you will
come some day when we can be alone
I'll teach you how to do it."
THAT reminds me Of Il good story"
said her companion. You know that
Queen Victoria is a crank On the subject
of needlework. and spends much time
learning new things in embroidery and
crochet work. Well. a few years ago
she VS. spending some time at Wies-
baden. and she used to drive 10 the bazar
and look at the needlework, while peo-
pie looked at her and wondered why she
would persist in wearing the old. rusty
bonnet. One day the young woman
who usually waited on her showed her
what you just showed me-a brand new
stitch-and was asked to call the next
day and teach her majesty how to make
it. She was to make d second call to
finish the job several days later, but in
the meantime was taken i'll, and the
proprietor of the establishment was be-
side herself, and worried as to how and
where she would get a substitute.
ION the day before the appointed
time a young girl from 4 western city
in the United States came to the bazar
and saw and admired the piece of
needlework. and told the saleswoman
that it was the first she had seen since
she had finished a similar piece.
"'Then you know how to do the
stitch?'
Certainly said the young woman.
'Why?'
"Well. there was a whispered con-
sultation, and then the girl was asked
if she would act as substitute the next
day and teach the queen. You may
imagine that she did not hesitate. She
went to the hotel and, radiant with joy
and excitement. told her mother of her
good fortune, and. after she had re-
ccived the congratulations of her
friends. her mother shattered all her
plans by reminding her that the rcxt
day was Saturday, and that, cs 4 good
Jewess. she could do no sewing on that
day. And now the young tells
the story of how near she came to teach
ing Queen Victoria a new stitch."-N.

THE LADIES' GALLERY.
How BallOting for Seats In That leo.
ton OF the House of Com.
mons II Done.

Whenever a session of parliament il
about to open a number of wise legisla-
tors take time by the forelock and Sc
III places for their friends weeks be-
forehand. Those who postpone making
their requests till the last moment
are disappointed. The ladies' gallery in
the house of commons consists of two
sections-two-thirds of it are given over
to the members of the house; one-third,
separated by a heavy partition from the
other, is in the hands of the speakers
wife, or, if he has not q wife, in charge
of the lady who is acting as the head
of his household. In the portion of
the gallery given over to the members
of the house the applications for the
seats, which are come 40 or SO in num-
Der, are, Of course, much more nu-
merous than the seats, and, according
ly, there has to be a ballot.
When / first entered the house of com
mons this ballot used to take place
every sitting just at the end of prayers,
and in public. The member put his
name on a piece of paper into a box,
and then the sergeant-at-arms, with one
or two of his attendants, used to take
the INT out, and the successful ones
were entered in a book. This used to
be one of the most enjoyable moments
of the sitting. The spirit of school
boyishness which is in every English
man, used to reassert itself, and cheers,
laughter, ~ironical compliments, all
kinds of EXPLANATIONS and running com
ments used to accompany the reading
GU. of the names. For instance, if
a member were particularly lucky in
the ballot, and won two or three weeks
in succession, there would rise q loud
chorus of shocked "Ohs!" and "Ahs!"
and sometimes a humorous cry of
SHANE, shame!" OF course, if a mem
Der were a well-known man there would
be some appropriate comment. But the
old system has disappeared with a lot
of the old usages which were in exist
ence when l first entered the house.
Balloting for the ladies' gallery no
longer takes place in the open. and amid
the tumultuous scenes l have described.
a box is placed in one of the division
lobbies; you put your name on a form
prepared for the purpose. and then, at
a certain hour. the box is withdrawn:
in private the deputy assistant SER
yeant-at-arms draws the ballot. and then
the names are posted in a book, and
you get, if you are successful. a print
ed card telling you so.-T. P. O'Connor,

STAGE KISSES ARE GENUINE.
The Theater-Going Public Demands
Realism Even In Stage Love.
Making.

Embraces and kisses are rehearsed
with the EXTREMIST care. They must
have an impulsive manner They must
look sufficiently fervid. 1t is a curious
sight-that of two players who are 10
express the ardent love which Shake
speare has written for his Romeo and
Juliet" but who at rehearsal, in mod
ern clothes and no accessories OF
glamour, practice a kiss as mechanic
ally and unfeelingly as though it were
as it is then-utterly devoid of senti-
ment. There must be no hesitation o
clumsiness. Romeo is not permitted to
decide whether to throw both arms
around his sweetheart or only one, or
which. Nor may Juliet be shy or for
ward. yielding or resisting, as she
chooses. The director viii place their
arms for them if they do not themselves
make a picturesque exhibit of tender
ness. And the kiss? Shall it be deliv-
cred by the wooe on the lips of the won,
or on brow, or cheek? That question Is
considered ard settled. ART kisses on
the stage genuine? Well. not at re-

ECONOMY OF FUEL.
The Range Should First Of All be in
Perfect Order-How to Put
ON Coal.

To kindle any fire small sticks should
be laid across each other, basket fash
ion, with paper below. See hat the
drafts and hampers are all open, the
upper front check closed, and apply the
match before a bit of coal is put upon
the wood. When it has begun to burn
well. put on one shovelful, allowing the
air to pass through unchecked so a
to kindle that. In a short time more
may be added, then more, and when the
eoal begins to glow red shut one draft,
then another.
Turn out Of doors the first person
who dares to dream of using kerosene
to help start a fire. and'severely adnon-
ish her who persists in filling the fire
box TO the top of stove OF range. That
is the way TO burn out or crack the
stove and to destroy the friedrich. Be-
sides. it chokes the draft, causing less
heat to be given out. A hot fire is a
clear fire. with the draft coming IN
checked through the bottom .damper.
The persons who boil their tea are the
same that fill the range as full as il
will hold, and when it fails. as it then
must, to give out the needed heat. take
off the cover and punch and poke it
down from above, thus crowding the
coal into a still more compact mass.
Such a housekeeper has her range
speedily filled with clinkers and wastes
much fuel.
A neglected range implies ignorance
and indifference. How many there are
who complain of a poor oven, yet allow
SCOT to accumulate above and below
it, no census has estimated. Neglect
means poor cooking and waste. Clink-
ers. too, should be watched for in the
frebox and broken off as soon asthey
appear. 1t is a too common fashion
to fill the range. leave the hampers ell
open. and let the fire burn as it will
till reduced to debris. Then du-p il
more coal and throw in some bindings
first and continue as before. Or the
contrary, the fire should be watched
and a little coal added at a time, With
the hampers only opened before meal
time. In this way alone can q good
fire be economically maintained. For
a young housekeeper it is needtu! to
note these things. Otherwise the ashes
will be half coal. to the detriment of tie
household exchequer.-Boston Budget.

Then after another longer silence
they left him alone. As he rode slowly
home he turned the little tragedy over
and over in his mind and the more he
thought about it the more he felt that
he had made a mistake by staying and
listening. At last he evolved a plan
calculated to- ease his w conscience
and give the young man some courage.
So the judge sent him this letter:

Grant, of the supreme, you are made of
the right sort of stuff to regard Miss Rand's
views as only a temporary obstacle to your
happiness. I sentenced Rand, and if you
care to call on me l should be glad to see
you. Perhaps we may ttink of some argu-
ments to make Miss Rand look at the case
differently. At any rate I agree with his
honor, YOU father, and am also with
you Yours,
ROBERT SToRRow."
The next day the judge was obliged
to go to a distant city to act as referee
in a case.
The Rand case was almost purely a
circumstantial one and hung on the
handwriting in which the false entries
had been made in the books. The handt
writing experts all agreed that the en-
tries had been made by Rand; indeed,
the prisoner admitted as much.
He had pleaded mot guilty." and
