A Shadow on Her Life.

Somebody once asked a tranquil old
resident of Nantucket if her life had
always run as smoothly as she could
wish; if no great sorrows or disappoint-
ments had ever come to mar it's seren-
ity.
The old lady sat looking out of the
window for moment, and then turned
to her Questioner with little smile on
her sweet face.
81 suppose you'll think it's foolish,
maybe" she said, 'but did have one
great disappointment, and Eve never
forgotten it. There was a man that
came to the island once with a hand
organ and monkey. He got as far as
the corner of our street, and l thought
he was coming right this way, but he
didn't.
81 was housed with a cold and
couldn't go out to see him and his
monkey, so l only caught just a
glimpse of them. They played half an
hour in the next street.
Disappointment like that stay by
folks all their lives" she added, after
a sympathetic ejaculation from her
visitor. ''It was more than thirty years
ago, but I've never ceased regretting

wonderfully blessed in every other

QUEEN ELlzA6ETH's FAULTS.
She Was Very Vain and Inordinate1y
Fond of Fine Dress.

She Was Very Vain and Inordinate1y
Fond of Fine Dress.
Yet Elizabeth was never really sue
cessful with her wardrobe as a more
feminine woman might have been.
Her dresses were never beautiful. only
ludicrously and most inappropriately
magnificent; laden with jewels, weight
ed down with cloth of gold, stiff with
silver embroidery,s and so heavy that
even her big, powerful frame must
without supporting vanity have felt
the fatigue of carrying them about.
Elizabeth was certainly vain, but she
cannot claim femininity merely on that
account, for vanity is by no means an
exclusively feminine characteristic;
there are perhaps more vain women
than vain men, because women have
more leisure, and their costumes afford
greater opportunities for vanity than
the strangely hideous clothing which
custom has arranged for men; but no
thoughtful (feminine) observer can
doubt that q vain man Is vainer than
a vain woman!
IlLdUSlaS , AduuS were uST especial
pride, and, Judging from her portraits,
they were certainly beautiful; they
were laden with jewels, and it was her
habit in public to pull her rings off
with absent artlessness, and push them
on again, moving those white hands
about in the most obvious way. Once,
during the grave consideration of a
state paper, where in her cold sagacity
never took second place, she inter-
rupted the discussion to ask whether
the Due d'Anjou, who was at one time
one of her suitors, had been told what
pretty foot she had, and how white
and well rounded was her arm? This,
in the woman who financed the Armada
with hard-headed economy, who dared

Charles Dickens and His Cat.

Charles Dickens was a lover of ami
mails, and had special fondness for
cats. One of his favorites, known for
her devotion to Dickens as ''the mas
teris cat" used to follow him about like
a dog, and sit beside him while he
wrote. One night Dickens was read
ing at small table by the light of
candle, with pussy, as usual, at his
elbow. Suddenly the light went out
Dickens was much interested in his
book, relighted the candle, going on
reading. In a short time the light
again became dim, and, turning sud-
denly, Dickens found puss deliberately
putting out the candle with her paw,
and looking at him appealingly as she
did so. Not till then did her master
guess what was wrong. The little
creature felt neglected and wanted to
be petted. and extinguishing the candle
was the best device she could think OF
for bringing it about.

So it was that Jim was so happy. He
had only two days more to wait: then
he would get his months wages. He
had $4O0 saved up, and he reflected
that he and Nelly would manage to get
along on that for while. His pride

picked up the first one and read the

afford to marry now. People would
say that married you for your money,
and | don't intend to put myself in a
position where such a motive could be
imputed to me. It would be unjust to

'Well, Jim," and there were tears in
her voice, II don't think you are acting
fairly toward me. Here 1 am an or
phan, with nobody on earth to love ex-
cept you so that life without you will
be worse than no life at all, and now
you say you cannot marry me until you
make what it took my father a life
time to accumulate. Why, by that
time, I'll have wrinkles and maybe
false teeth and glasses, and be hor-
rid, snuffy, fussy old woman"
"No, Nell, l don't want to make $780,

too. You would manage somehow.
But now my self-respect will not allow
me-"
So it was that he went to make his
fortune and at the same time peace
with his unduly-active conscience. To
his utter disgust, he found. after a
years prospecting, that gold mines
were not at all plentiful, and that eyery
foot of the mountains had been pros
pected over time and again. A year
in Mexico assured him that the business
of finding silver mines lying around
loose had also played out long ago, and
that it took lots of capital to start
ranching on paying basis. Funds
were getting low, so he secured place
as one of the herdsmen of the Xxx
outfit, and on account of his grave de-
meanor was promptly named by the
OSASA kOl1Onlul Jlm.
And the name stuck to him.
During all his wanderings he had
written to Nell as regularly as possi-
BILE, and had begun to regret in a
measure his puritanical conscience.
At $40 a month and grub he did not
see that a fortune was in immediate
prospect. Absence had indeed made
his heart grow fonder. and he Ionged
for sight of Nells laughing eyes and
dimpled face.
Yet he would not acknowledge him
self beaten or that he would give in,
Much against his inclination he re-
manned consumed with desire to see
her, yet impelled to remain in stiff
necked pride, acting as avant courier
and escort for lot Of wild-eyed, long
horned steers, all the while cursing
himself for fool. So he and the rest
of the outfit did not have much in com
mon together, and he grew more and
more unsociable and lonely.
Small wonder was it, then, that when
he received a letter from her he felt
that his voluntary exile was broken.
His penance was done, and he was
free to return to civilization and Nelly.
