Drove in Open Carriages.

A good-sized crowd met them as they
disembarked at Cowes. Naturally there
was no cheering but the men present
took their hats off and the German en-
peror cordially and frequently re-
sponded by bowling. They drove to
Osborne House in open carriages. The
Prince of Wales appeared to be half
dazed and the Duke of York's eyes
were red, while the Duchess of Con-
naught did not cease crying. There was
intense relief at Osborne House upon
the arrival of the imperial and royal
party for several times during the
course of the morning it was feared
the queen would not live to hear of
the Prince of Wales return. Nourish-
ment is being artiticlally administered
to the queen. The palace is packed.
There is scarcely room for the en-
peror of Germany and his staff. With
the exception of the newspaper CORE
spondents, there are only few people
outside the gates. Inquiries from all
parts of the world continue to pure in.

days to see her curls in their pretty sa tin-lned case. After they had both kissed her and thanked her over and over again she crept away.
 Pm glad I did it; but how lone- some my pretty curls will bel" said the child.
 But the curls were not at all lone- some. The kind man was looking at them when one of the boys showed gentleman in. The visitor was a big man and he had gentle eyes, though his face was somewhat rough to look at.
 ''l'm quite out of heart, Alfred; can get no clew; but what's that you have there? Pretty, aren't they?"
 "Yes, beautiful"
 Then the kind man told all about the little girl who sold the curls to him, so she could have money to buy things for the sick brother. "Alfred, this hair is just the color of Ellie's; could it be? Could it be Ellie's child's hair?'
 She's coming here day after to-mor- row to see her curls in their satin-lined box; then if you will be here you can find out who she is" answered the jeweler.
 Sure enough, Annie came to see her cur!s as they looked ready for sale; she wanted to see the box. While she was admiring it and telling about Teddy, and how the wine was doing him good, the stranger with the gentle eyes ar rived. He talked to the little girl for awhile, then surprised the jeweler and little Annie by bursting into tears.
 'They've told you about Uncle Luke, haven't they?" he asked.
 "Oh, yes, often," replied Annie He is in Australia, where the bark falls off the trees and the leaves stay on, and where the birds have no wings, and ev- erything is so queer!"
 But what if he came home?' "Oh, he won't,' she said; mother has lost him completely"
 ''3ut he has come home. I am he.''
 Then there was what Annie called Ca time"

 And then there was much more of "a time" And the doctor held Teddv's hand while Uncle Luke told about his long search for his sister. and mother explained about fathers death and her removal Co the city. and how she lost Uncle Lnke's address and could not get letter Co reach him.

the city, and all the shops were afame wish light and brightness. Annie gazed wistfully at the pretty things in the great windows; she was but a little maid, and could not help wishing for pretty things for herself and for her mother ard Teddy.
 But the wine-she must not finger: she would only look in one more shop and then-then she would seek the great shop where wine was sold in bot ties; surely the big, rosy-faced man whom she had often noticed standing in the doorway of his shop would listen 10 her story of poor Teddy and give her the wine
 So she stood before this last store-it was iewelry store-and, oh, how beautiful the jewels looked -sapphires and rubies and diamonds-how they glittered. The sight was enough to fascinate older eyes than Annie's.
 Presently something in one corner of the window caught her gaze-it wasn't jewel, it was a switch of love- ly hair: not one, but several, and be- I"" them in pretty, shallow, satin lined boxes. were clusters of curls. A sudden thought came to Annie; she pressed her little hands together and held her breath. then paused mo- ment 10 gain courage. and passed reso- lutely into the great store. \ kind looking man came forward 10 meet her and said: What cau do for you, lit lie lady?"

 "But, my little girl. are your curls yours to sell?"
 "Oh, yes. sir; if you only knew why I must sell them, am sure you would buy them. Teddy is SO i'll that he needs things, and mother" and here she choked up so she could say no more.

 Annie heard her mothers words, all though they were not intended for her to hear. She saw her brush away the tears from her eyes and then go back to Teddy's room.
 'What did the doctor say. mother?" asked Teddy, in a weak voice; did he say l will get well?''
 Annie heard the reply: He says that the fever is broken, and that all you have to do now is to get we'll"
 Teddy's voice trembled as he replied: "Oh, mother, I was afraid he would say I might die, and I wondered who would take care of you and little An nie. l am glad God is going to let me live to do it. Now I must begin to get strong! Can't you give me lots to eat?" Annie saw her mothers lips quiver as she turned her face from Teddy.
 "9es, my son, but not too much at once. you know,' she said.
 Teddy looked very thoughtful.
 But is there anything in the house, mother? l have been sick good while, and my last wages must be nearly gone, and you haven't had time to color many photos lately, have you?"
 The boys mother answered. brave ly: "Scl folks mustn't bother about these things, you know" Then she left the room, and Annie saw that she did so to hide the tears which were streaming down her worn face
 CT must do something; I wonder what it will be?" murmured Annie to herself. and, crushing her hat down over her curls, she slipped into the street.
 Annie thought constantly of wine for poor Teddy, and wondered if she sum moned courage to beg bottle whether anyone would be kind enough to give it to her for a poor sick boy, her only brother. She knew that sometimes grOcers kept wine, especially around holiday time, and felt sure if they only knew how very, very much it was needed at home by her poor sick Ted dy that some one of them would sure ly give her a bottle. Then there were other places where they sold nothing but wine and such stuff, for she had seen DlO WILLOWS 1ull or the DOttIeS, with pictures of great punches of beau tiful grapes standing behind them.
 Annie wasn't a bold, forward child; she was timid, but brave and resolute; her love for her brother, at least, made her brave for the time; so she resolved in her heart to beg for the wine which the doctor said would bring back trengfh to Teddy. Christmas had come and gone, but Teddy was so ill with the fever that Annie thought nothing about the absence of the gifts usual to that happy day; but now Ted dy was to grow better, and she did long to be able to make his New Years and her mothers brighter than Christmas had been.

"If / should ever be called upon to

sergeant, 81 would point at once to her
invarlable rule of dressing up in her
best clothes when she goes out to COM

good many suicides and afterward In
vestlgate their personal affairs, and in
every instance | have found that the
poor unfortunates prepared themselves
for death by donning their best bib and
tucker.
"The majority of the printed reports
of suicides say that the clothes of the
dead woman were good or well made
or elegant If the woman contemplate
ing suicide owns silk waist, she
wears It. Her broadcloth skirt and silk
petdcoat naturally go with this gar
ment, and she selects her best shoes.
81 have looked up the history OF
many of these respectfully clad suicides
and have found that they owned but
one gown with which they could make
a decent appearance on the street and
that that one good dress was chosen
without exception as the appropriate
garb I'm which to make the exit from

"Let n woman sleep her life away un-

the end with apparent tranquility.
Her instinct Of gentllity and elegance

PARK
CONCERT
New Features introduced
Baby Contest to be Decided
by Experts.

The large crowd attending the enter
tainment at Eastwood park last night
was sisni6cent of the growing popularity
Of these events. The program through
out was excellent, consisting OF vocal
and Instrumental music, hypnotic de.
monstrations and baby pictures.
The vocal music by Messrs. synder
and Wenger was, as usual, greatly en-
joyed. Their selections were excellent
and their delivery equally 40. The Asy.
ldm orchestra discoufsed music during
the evening, contributing greatly to the
entertainment.
With five boys for operatives, Il. Cook
Patton amused the crowd with his hyp-
motto power. This is an unusual exhibi-
ton for local event aud was fully en-
joyed. The antics and eyolutions Of the
hypnotized subjects served to entertain
for about half an hour and this was fol,
lowed by the baby show. Nearly dozen
pictures were exhibited, any one of them
worthy Of prize so the task Of deciding
the contest will be difficult. The judges
are N. j. Judah, +. M. LAHORE and Q. A.
Murphy, three gentlemen who ought to
know all about the subject in hand, from
their broad experience in such matters.
More pictures Of babies will be shown
next Friday evening, and also next Wed.
nesday evening, after which the prizes
will be announced by the connoisseurs
Of babydom who constitute the commit
tee.

HIgh MountnIna Of the Moon.

The Lelbnitz range attains enormous
attitudes above the average level of the
moons surface and Is sometimes seen
projected far beyond the regular curva-
ture of disk, thus destroying the circu-
lar contour and giving It notched or
serrated aspect. Several OF the peaks
of these southern mountains measure
10000 feet In altitude, while one has
been estimated to attain the great
height Of 10000 feet. All the chief
mountains of the moon which can be
seen from the earth with a telescope
have had their heights ascertained. The
German observers, Beer and Maedler,
have calculated the height Of no fewer
than 1905 lunar mountains. The Do
riel mountains supply an instance Of
great elevation, the peaks Of the three
leading ones being between $4,000 and
10000 feet high Among other lunar
peaks may be mentioned Huyghens.
$1,000 feet; Hadley, $4,000 feet; Brad
ley, 1900 feet, and Wolf,N1 900 feet
